Name of programme or project  AfricanBioServices - Linking biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services in the 
Great Serengeti -Mara Ecosystem (GSME) - drivers of change, causalities and 
sustain able management strategies.  
Objective or purpose  The direct dependence of humans on ecosystem 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 cou nterparts. 
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 r ecognized on a global scale 
in the Millennium 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 pop ulation 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 aspects 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.

Name of programme or project  SWOS - Satellite -based Wetland Observation Service  
Objective or purpose  The objective of the project SWOS is to develop a monitoring and information service focussing 
on wetland ecosystems. Globally wetlands are the ecosystems with the highest rate of loss. 
This is alarming, considering their significance as biodiversity hotsp ots and ecosystems with a 
central role in the water cycle, including improving water quality and reducing water scarcity, 
in climate regulation and the economic benefit gained from using their services. A key limitation 
to their more effective conservation , sustainable management and restoration is the missing 
knowledge underpinning the application of European  policy by Members. Under the Biodiversity 
Strategy, Members have recently committed to the mapping and assessment of ecosystem 
services (MAES); this provides a key instrument for an improved integration of wetlands in

- 21 - Name of programme or project  FarFish : Responsive Results -Based Management and capacity building 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 profitability.  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, comp liance 
and trust between stakeholders tend to lack.  FarFish 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 inte rnational 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 
support tools into these fisheries and test their applicability in collaboration with stakeholders. 
Thirdly, build capacities in fisheries management and related disciplines amongst stakeholders. 
The res ults of FarFish will both have immediate and long -term application. FarFish includes a 
diverse group of stakeholders , EU and third country fleets representatives, scientists, decision 
makers, Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs), relevant in dustries and 
stakeholders from areas outside the case studies 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 fish eries, 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 seafo od value chains, increase Europe an food security, boost 
long-term profitability and promote jobs .

Name of programme or project  TRIATLAS - Tropical and South Atlantic climate -based marine ecosystem predictions 
for sustainable managemen t 
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 and  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 enti re basin. We bring together an 
interdisciplinary 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 regional st akeholders. We will enhance knowledge 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 a ssess 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 th e next 40 
years for the whole Atlantic, by combining state -of-the-art climate prediction and ecosystem 
models, with Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, and by conducting socioeconomic vulnerability 
assessments services, with stakeholder engagement. TRIATLAS wil l enhance capacity in 
marine ecosystems, oceanography, and climate research in countries bordering the South and 
Tropical Atlantic Ocean. There will be close cooperation and alignment with relevant Europe an 
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.  
Entity making the incentive available  EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.

- 44 - Name of programme or project  Europe an Commission - DG EAC : Erasmus+  
Nature of incentive measure  Least developed 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 Latin America are 
business, engineering and economics). Furthermore, additional scholarships are reserved for 
certain least developed countries for joint master programmes taught by consortia of Europe an 
universities, the additional scholarships awarde d in this 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 countries 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 enterp rises. 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 pr ovided 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 international cooperation 
projects and academic mobility projects which contribute to the reinforcement of higher 
education systems; better training of students and staff and exchanges of qu alified staff.  
Category of technology  Other (Educational projects may cover 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 
Juncker 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,

Objective or purpose  The Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is an urgent global issue. It is a serious criminal industry, 
estimated to be worth between GBP 7 billion and GBP 17 billion a year. IWT threatens some 
of the world 's most iconic species, such as elephants and rhino s, with extinction; it damages 
economic growth and sustainable development. It is fuelled by corruption and undermines 
good governance and the rule of law.  The UK government is committed to tackling the illegal 
wildlife trade.  A British military counter -poaching taskforce works to train African park rangers 
to use more effective and safer counter -poaching techniques as they seek to disrupt poaching. 
Work is conducted in partnership with countries to provide support for activities such as 
tracking,  navigation, communications and intelligence information sharing to support capacity 
building to tackle poaching,  This work will result in safer, more effective counter -poaching in 
locations where training has taken place; better integration of counter -poaching work and 
local communities leading to a more sustainable future for counter -poaching efforts; more 
effective communication and intelligence sharing between parks and countries; and better 
supported and more professional park rangers.  In some instance s, small amounts of light 
equipment (e.g. compasses, patrol bags and cookers) may be purchased for the benefit of the 
rangers to ensure they have the minimum equipment necessary to complete the task. Training 
is also given on effective radio operating.

- 84 - 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 int erventions have relied on increasing primary production 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 trade 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 recogni ze the benefits of 
partnerships between private sector investors, development agencies and host 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, f ood safety, agri -food business is well established 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 opened in June 2019. Grants linked to this new call are to be 
disbursed in October/November 2019. 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. A s 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 is to be undertaken over the period September 2019 – February 2020) . 
Duration and timing  The AADP was re -launched in July 2017 and it is intended that a further review of the 
programme 's scope and management process will be undertaken following the recent 
completion of an overall review of Ireland 's Private Sector Engagement in Development 
programming.
