- 14 - Name of programme or project  AfricanBioServices - Linking biodiversity, ecosystem functions and 
services in the Great Serengeti -Mara Ecosystem (GSME) - drivers of 
change, causalities and sustainable management strategies.  
Objective or purpose  The direct dependence of humans on ecosy stem services is by far strongest in 
developing regions where poverty restricts access to resources. This dependency 
also makes people in developing countries more sensitive to climate change than 
their developed counterparts. Increasing human populations deteriorates natural 
habitat, biodiversity and ecosystems services which spiral into poverty and low 
human welfare. This calls for innovative solutions that encompass the entire socio -
ecological -economic system, as recognized on a global scale in the Mille nnium 
Ecosystem Assessment. Flow ever, innovative and practical solutions require 
downscaling to regional levels for identifying concrete sets of drivers of change. 
For Africa specifically, the interplay of human population growth, land use change, 
climate  change and human well -being is a major challenge. This project focuses on 
the Serengeti -Maasai Mara Ecosystem and associated agricultural areas, a region 
in East Africa that encompasses parts of Kenya and Tanzania. The ecosystem is 
world -famous for key as pects of its biodiversity, such as the migration of 1.3 million 
wildebeest. This 'flagship ecosystem' role will enhance the international interest in 
the project. In this project, internationally leading researchers from Norway, the 
Netherlands, Scotland, Denmark and Germany are teaming up with strong local 
partners in Tanzania and Kenya.

- 19 - Name of programme or project  E-Shape: EUR GEOSS Showcases: Applications Powered by Europe  
Objective or purpose  The E -SHAPE proposal is driven by the need to develop operational EO services with and for the users and to create a conducive 
environment whereby the strengths of Europe are exploited towards addressing societal challenges, fostering entrepreneurship 
and supporting sustainable development. Th e proposal objectives are 1) to develop operational EO services with and for users 
active in key societal sectors; 2) to demonstrate the benefits of the EO pilots through the coordinated downstream exploitati on 
of EO data and the utilization of existing EO  resources; 3) to promote the uptake of pilots at national and international scale, 
across vertical markets (private and public) and amongst key user communities; 4) to enable the long -term sustainability of the 
numerous pilots, their penetration in public  and private markets and support their upscaling; 5) to increase uptake by raising 
awareness on the solutions developed through tailored and well -targeted communication, dissemination and outreach activities. 
The proposal aims at setting -up and promoting a  sustainable organization dedicated to users' uptake of European EO resources, 
building on Copernicus and GEOSS through the development of co -design pilots (i.e. application -oriented products, services or 
solutions) built on a user -centric approach and del ivering economic, social and policy value to European citizens. It has also the 
ambition through the development of 27 pilots organized in seven showcases to deliver information that will also contribute t o 
the three GEO engagements (SDGs, Paris Agreement and Sendai Framework).

- 28 - Name of programme or project  FarFish: Responsive Results -Based Management and capacity buildin g for 
EU Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement - and international water  
Objective or purpose  The objective of FarFish is to improve knowledge on and management of EU 
fisheries outside Europe, while contributing to sustainability and long term 
profit ability.  21% of EU catches originate from non -EU waters. These fisheries are 
often poorly regulated, management decisions are sometimes based on limited 
knowledge and enforcement capabilities, compliance and trust between 
stakeholders tend to lack.  
FarFis h will address these shortcomings in a multidisciplinary and innovative way 
by focusing on six diverse case studies, four in Sustainable Fisheries Partnership 
Agreement (SFPA) waters and two in international waters. Firstly, FarFish will 
analyse biological , ecological, technological, economic, political and social impacts 
of EU fisheries in the case studies to advance knowledge and promote sustainable 
and profitable exploitation. Secondly, introduce Results -Based Management 
approaches and new decision suppo rt tools into these fisheries and test their 
applicability in collaboration with stakeholders. Thirdly, build capacities in fisheries 
management and related disciplines amongst stakeholders. The results of FarFish 
will both have immediate and long -term app lication. FarFish includes a diverse 
group of stakeholders, EU and third country fleets representatives, scientists, 
decision makers, Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs), relevant 
industries and stakeholders from areas outside the case stud ies but of importance 
for the EU fleet, forming a platform for future cooperation between EU and third 
countries.  
FarFish addresses the work programme by improving knowledge within the 
relevant fisheries, developing management tools and models, improving 
professional skills and sharing new findings in correspondence to the priorities of 
SFPAs, RFMOs and the CFP. FarFish will contribute to sustainable management, 
resilience and efficiency in the seafood value chains, increase European food 
security, boost l ong-term profitability and promote jobs.

- 30 - Name of programme or project  TRIATLAS - Tropical and South Atlantic climate -based marine ecosystem predictions for sustainable management  
Objective or purpose  Sustainable management of human activities affecting Atlantic marine ecosystems is critical to maintain its health and to support 
the blue economy of the bordering countries. TRIATLAS will contribute to this by delivering knowledge of the current state an d 
future changes of the Atlantic marine ecosystems. We achieve this through a basin -wide approach integrating research from 
the North and South, that closes critical knowledge gaps in the Tropical and South Atlantic which impede an understanding of 
the entire basin. We bring together an i nterdisciplinary team of marine ecologists, physical oceanographers, climate researchers, 
and social scientists from 34 different institutions in Europe, Africa, and South America, together with multisectoral and re gional 
stakeholders. We will enhance know ledge of the marine ecosystems in key areas of the Atlantic using existing and pivotal new 
(physical, biological, societal) observations. Earth system, ecological, and socio -economic models and observations will be used 
to assess the cumulative impacts of (climatic, pollution, and fishing) pressures driving fluctuations in the marine ecosystem, 
and the potential for tipping point behaviour and regime shifts. We will develop the first predictions of the marine -ecosystem 
for the next 40 years for the whole At lantic, by combining state -of-the-art climate prediction and ecosystem models, with 
Shared Socio -economic Pathways, and by conducting socio -economic vulnerability assessments services, with stakeholder 
engagement. TRIATLAS will enhance capacity in marine e cosystems, oceanography, and climate research in countries bordering 
the South and Tropical Atlantic Ocean. There will be close cooperation and alignment with relevant European Commission 
services and the South -South Framework for Scientific and Technical Cooperation, as well as other relevant initiatives in the 
field. We will contribute to upscale cooperation around the Atlantic.

- 58 - Name of programme or project  European Commission - DG EAC: Erasmus+  
Objective or purpose  The Directorate -General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) is 
responsible for Erasmus+. Erasmus+ is the European Union (EU) programme for 
education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014 -2020.  
The programme promotes cross -border coop eration and mobility inside Europe, 
but also has a strong international dimension. Under this worldwide dimension, 
Erasmus+ funds projects that involve partners from "Programme Countries" and 
"Partner Countries" throughout the world. The 34 programme count ries comprise 
the 28 EU Members plus six other European countries. Partner Countries are 
located all over the world.  
Entity making the incentive available  European Union> European Commission > Directorate -General for Education, 
Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC).  
Eligible enterprises or institutions in developed country Member  Individuals - students, PhD candidates, trainees, professors, administrative staff - 
constitute the main target population of the Programme. However, the Programme 
reaches t hese individuals through organisations, institutions, bodies or groups that 
organise such activities (e.g. higher education institutions). The conditions of 
access to the Programme therefore relate to these two actors: the "participants" 
(individuals parti cipating in the Programme) and the "participating organisations". 
For both participants and participating organisations, the conditions for 
participation depend on the country in which they are based.

- 59 - Name of programme or project  European Commission - DG EAC: Erasmus+  
Nature of incentive measure  Least d eveloped countries feature as priority targets for certain actions such as the 
short term academic mobility for students, PhD candidates and staff (the top three 
academic disciplines covered by partnerships with developing countries in Africa, 
Asia and Lat in America are business, engineering and economics). Furthermore, 
additional scholarships are reserved for certain least developed countries for joint 
master programmes taught by consortia of European universities, the additional 
scholarships awarded in th is reporting period covered studies in areas such as 
energy efficiency, gender studies, urban development, water and marine 
management.   
Regarding joint university projects, Erasmus+ Capacity Building Projects in Higher 
Education focus on developing countr ies and benefit least developed countries.  
Such projects are aimed at modernising and reforming higher education 
institutions, developing new curricula, improving governance, and building 
relationships between higher education institutions and enterprises.  The most 
ambitious projects can also tackle policy topics and issues, preparing the ground 
for higher education reform, in cooperation with national authorities. The capacity -
building projects are channelling university cooperation into development goals,  so 
each year the projects between them cover the topics of nearly all the individual 
SDGs (smart buildings, boosting employability, increasing female participation in 
STEM, etc.)  
Financial implications  Individual participants (i.e. students) are provided with scholarships and financial 
contributions are provided to the organisations implementing the projects.  
Field of technology  Erasmus+ is not focusing on formal technology transfers but funds internat ional 
cooperation projects and academic mobility projects which contribute to the 
reinforcement of higher education systems; better training of students and staff 
and exchanges of qualified staff.  
Category of technology  Other (Educational projects may co ver any field of education, see examples below.)  
Output or impact  One of the most interesting initiatives in this reporting period for DG EAC was the 
new Africa -Europe Alliance for Sustainable Investment and Jobs, announced by 
President Jean -Claude Juncke r in his State of the Union Address on 12 September 
2018.  
 
In order to reach the goal of 35,000 African university students and staff benefiting 
from Erasmus+ mobility by 2020, EUR 17.6 million were added to the Erasmus+ 
2019 call for proposals for International Credit Mobility as follows: REGION Extra

- 69 - Name of programme or project  Africa Agri -Food Development Programme  
Output or impact  For African countries to move "beyond aid" they must increase their own trade and attract investors. The development of business 
and agri -trade is a priority for many African countries where the majority of the population live in rural areas and are dependent 
on farm incomes. Many agricultural interventions have relied on increasing primary pro duction of food and cash crops without 
adequate investment in developing markets, infrastructure and the necessary investment climate for business. There is broad 
consensus amongst development partners that increased, local, regional and international trad e will drive food production in 
developing countries.  
For investors, Africa still poses many difficulties. Many Irish investors perceive Africa as a high risk environment due to a  
combination of limited human resources, weak services and fragile governance  structures.  
In the Irish context, we recognize the benefits of partnerships between private sector investors, development agencies and ho st 
governments. The desirable outcome is investment, growth and trade that is inclusive (meaning it delivers for the poor and/or 
marginalised groups), profitable and sustainable beyond the normal cycle of development assistance programmes.  
The Irish agri -food sector can play a central role in the development of agri -business in Africa by bringing a much needed business 
perspective to the sector, supported where possible by investment and mutually beneficial trade. Irish expertise, both public  and 
private, in areas such as animal health, food production, veterinary practice, food safety, agri -food business is well establi shed 
and respected internationally. These kinds of expertise represent a significant learning resource for the agri -food sector in 
developing countries.  
Status of the programme or 
project  Other (A new call for applications is opening in July 2020. Grants linked to this new call are to be disbursed in Q4 2020. This call 
was originally to take place in Q1 but was delayed due to the COVID -19 outbreak. It is planned that going forward there will be 
two calls for applications a year, tentatively planned to take  place in Q1 and Q3 of each year.  As part of the follow up to 
recommendations from an external review of Private Sector Engagement in Ireland's development programming, a review of the 
AADP's scope, operating model and management process has been undertake n over the period September 2019 - March 2020.  
A number of recommendations were produced from this review and DFAT is now assessing how to implement them.)  
Duration and timing  The AADP was originally established in 2012 as the 'Africa Agri Food Development Fund'. Following a review of the Fund in 2016, 
it was renamed the AADP and launched in July 2017.

Over the duration of the partnership, and particularly during this current phase 
(2017 -2020), COSECSA as has seen a huge increase in its level of activity. In the 
past three years, COSECSA has grad uated 242 specialist surgeons. This represents 
53% of the total number of graduates (450) in COSECSA's twenty -year history.  
 
The latest retention data is very positive; it indicates that 91.5% of COSECSA 
graduates who responded are employed as surgeons in Africa and 80% are 
employed as surgeons in the country they trained in with COSECSA. Today, there 
are 760 doctors registered for surgical training with COSECSA, across 18 countries.  
 
Specific technological innovations developed by the programme  include:  
• Development and administration of an Africa -centric surgical e -learning platform.  
• Creation of a bespoke surgical electronic logbook which enhances COSECSA 
assessment and is the biggest dataset of African surgical training operative 
informatio n 
• Interactive e -learning tool for non -surgeon cadres performing basic surgery and 
anaesthesia in Low and Middle Income Countries.  
• Development of examination standard operating procedures, collaboration on 
delivery of various seminars, exchange of exam iners, and assistance in the 
establishment of a Court of Examiners.

Output or impact  ECOWAS - one of its objectives is to foster intraregional trade by overcoming 
technical barriers to trade through coordinated efforts in an efficient way.  
This strategy establishes the political superstructure of – and establishes the 
technical link between – the individual subregional technical networks; its 
effectiveness is mainly evident at the macro and at the mes o level. The 
understanding of the abstract term of quality and its transformation into specific 
cross-sectoral actions is promoted. The African institutions which form the 
infrastructure for quality will establish the framework conditions in accordance wit h 
international agreements, thereby achieving a better acceptance of African 
products. The successful negotiation of the Continental Free Trade Area ensures 
the harmonisation of procedures and technical requirements; technical barriers to 
trade will be rem oved. This will facilitate the exchange of goods and services and, 
thus, the promotion of trade.

Output or impact  Regional cooperation encourages these four countries to broaden and deepen their 
respective capabilities in view of their international recognition. By extending the 
range of metrological services complying wi th international standards, industry and 
trade have the opportunity to cut costs as they less frequently have to use 
expensive services abroad. The availability of measuring instruments whose 
traceability is ensured within the region allows the quality of production processes 
– and thus of the products themselves – to be improved. The module's main impact 
will be economic sustainability, since developing a quality infrastructure that meets 
concrete needs contributes to reducing technical barriers to trade a nd to 
strengthening intra - and interregional trade. In turn, this increases the companies' 
competitiveness and enables export into the European and the international 
markets. This approach therefore improves the employment and income situation 
in the relev ant industrial sectors. Moreover, the economic prospects of cooperation 
with the EU are also enhanced.
