- 14 - 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 capabilitie s, compliance 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 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, in troduce 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 results 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), rel evant industries 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 rele vant 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 long -term profitability and promote jobs.

- 16 - 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 sup port 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 th e 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 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 stakeholders. We will enhance 
knowledge of the marine ecosystems in key areas of the Atlantic using existing and pivotal new (p hysical, 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 Atlantic, by combining state -of-the-art climate prediction and 
ecosystem models, with Shared So cioeconomic Pathways, and by conducting socioeconomic vulnerability 
assessments services, with stakeholder engagement. TRIATLAS will enhance capacity in marine ecosystems, 
oceanography, and climate research in countries bordering the South and Tropical Atl antic 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.

- 20 - Name of program me or project  Early clinical development of a live, attenuated combination vaccine against Shigella and ETEC diarrhoea  
Objective or purpose  Although vaccination is an effective way to reduce the huge disease burden associated with diarrhoea caused by 
enteric pathogens, many attempts to develop vaccines for shigellosis and ETEC infections have failed and a number 
of current approaches are too c omplex and costly to provide an adequate solution for LMICs. This Consortium is 
dedicated to advancing a radically new approach against Shigella and ETEC based not on the immunodominant, but 
highly variable Shigella LPS O -antigen, target of almost all past  and current vaccine development efforts. There are 
four pillars on which the ShigETEC vaccine has been designed: (i) Elimination of the LPS O -antigen to allow recognition 
of multiple antigens on the cell surface that are shared among different serotypes o f Shigella and are increasingly 
being recognized as important in protection from shigellosis. These antigens are also closely related to those of ETEC 
and may also help in protecting against that pathogen as well. (ii) Elimination of the invasiveness of Sh igella by 
disruption of the invasion complex resulting in a much safer/less reactogenic oral vaccine that can take advantage 
of gut mucosal immunity, possibly allowing administration of high vaccine doses and therefore addresses the low 
immunogenicity seen  with other live attenuated vaccine candidates. (iii) Addition of detoxified toxin antigens of ETEC 
that will induce neutralizing/blocking antibodies to these critical virulence factors. (iv) Rational molecular design of 
ShigETEC will allow future generati ons of vaccines to include additional antigens for other pathogens. The work 
programme entails manufacture of clinical trial material, first -in-human testing for safety and immunogenicity in non -
endemic adults, a sero -epidemiology study to learn about natu ral immune response to the vaccine, and importantly 
testing the vaccine in endemic populations. The Consortium comprises partners from EU and Bangladesh that bring 
along highly complementary expertise.

- 21 - Name of programme or project  Vaccine Against Schistosomiasis for Africa. A Phase I clinical study of the SchistoShield® anti -
schistosomiasis vaccine in adults in endemic areas of sub -Saharan Africa  
Objective or purpose  Schistosomiasis is a poverty -related neglected tropical disease, impacting one billion people in 74 countries. Science 
ranked a schistosomiasis -vaccine as one of the top -10 vaccines urgently needed. Chemotherapy is the preferred 
method for schistosomiasis control; but the effectiveness of mass -treatment programs is compromised by reinfection 
requiring regular re -treatment. An efficacious vaccine, with long -lasting protection against all schistosomiasis forms, 
would impact disease control. We request funding  for the clinical development of our SchistoShield® -vaccine (Sm - 
p80 antigen+GLA -SE adjuvant) in Burkina Faso and Madagascar, where Schistosoma mansoni (causing intestinal/ 
hepatic schistosomiasis) and S. haematobium (causing urinary schistosomiasis) are e ndemic. In baboon studies, 
SchistoShield® has been effective against all major schistosome species. It is the only vaccine candidate having 
consistently exhibited potent prophylactic, anti -fecundity, egg -induced pathology resolving, transmission -blocking 
and therapeutic efficacy. The objectives are to 1) assess the safety/immunogenicity of SchistoShield® in a Phase I 
clinical study in healthy adults from Africa; 2) refine and develop a female worm schistosome human challenge 
model; 3) identify correlates of  protection, innate and adaptive immune signatures, gene expression and the role of 
antibodies in the prevention/control of Schistosoma infections; and 4) foster a global consortium to advance research 
on schistosomiasis disease burden, vaccines and addres s downstream access constraints in resource -poor settings. 
The funding requested will allow the clinical development of SchistoShield®. African site research capacity will be 
improved and epidemiological burden data using novel diagnostic techniques will b e used to advance clinical 
development to Phase 2 and potential future elimination project

- 33 - Name of programme or project  Integrating and decentralising diabetes and hypertension services in Africa  
Objective or purpose  We will integrate and scale up services for diabetes and hypertension in clinics in Tanzania and Uganda, either as 
standalone or integrated with HIV -infection. This builds on pilot studies that the partners are conducting, funded by 
UK NIHR, on the prevent ion and management of HIV, diabetes and hypertension in Africa. The aim of INTE -AFRICA 
is to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of large -scale scale up. Research evidence needed by African health 
services to scale -up and sustain the screening and man agement of diabetes and hypertension in different settings 
will be generated. The objectives include: to re -organise primary health care services so that diabetes and 
hypertension can be diagnosed and treated in dedicated chronic care clinics in two large regions, one in Tanzania 
and in Uganda; to decentralise care from health facilities to the community in order to reduce patient load at clinics 
and reduce reliance on (scarce) clinical staff; to evaluate these approaches in terms of acceptability (by patie nts and 
the community), numbers of patients treated and retained in care, patient clinical outcomes (blood pressure control, 
blood glucose control), costs of delivering integrated care for the health service and cost -effectiveness (compared to 
current stan dard care); to use the data generated to contribute evidence to the development of clinical guidelines; 
to develop the sustainable partnerships needed between researchers, government policy makers, public -private 
partnerships on an ethos of openness and eq uality so as to facilitate the expansion of the scale -up nationally. The 
majority of individuals with either hypertension or diabetes are identified after they develop complications, which 
leads to their poor outcomes, and to catastrophic costs to both the  health service and the patient. Scaling up services 
for would prevent clinical complications in patients and could result in immense cost savings for patients and the 
health service.

- 39 - 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 cooperation 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 "Par tner Countries" throughout the world. The 34 programme countries 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 > Di rectorate -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 these individuals through organisations, institutions, 
bodies or groups that organise such activities (e.g. higher education institutions). The conditions of access to the 
Programme therefore rela te to these two actors: the "participants" (individuals participating 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 b ased.

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 p artnerships 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 
European universities, the additional scholarships awarded 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 Bu ilding 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 relat ionships 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 im plications  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 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.)

- 46 - Name of programme or project  AquaVitae  - New species, processes and products contributing to increased production and improved 
sustainability in emerging low trophic, and existing low and high trophic aquaculture value chains in the 
Atlantic  
Objective or purpose  The overall objective of AquaV itae is to increase aquaculture production in and around the Atlantic Ocean in a 
sustainable way by developing new and emerging low trophic species and by optimising production in existing 
aquaculture value chains. The value chains that AquaVitae will focu s on include macroalgae production, integrated 
multi-trophic aquaculture, and production of new echinoderm species as well as existing shellfish and finfish species. 
A series of cross -cutting Work Packages (WPs) will include research on biosensors, Interne t of Things (IoT), product 
characteristics, consumer attitudes, market potential, sustainability, environmental monitoring, risk assessment, 
analysis of value chains, profitability, and other socioeconomic aspects. AquaVitae will contribute to various poli cy 
dialogues and produce briefs on policy and governance issues. The AquaVitae consortium consists of 36 full partners 
from Europe and countries bordering the Atlantic Ocean, in addition to an Industry Reference group, a Policy Advice 
Group, and an Externa l Advisory Group. AquaVitae supports extensive communication and outreach activities, 
employs a multi -actor approach to ensure stakeholder engagement in all phases of the project, and will set up a 
durable aquaculture industry and research network around t he Atlantic Ocean. Industry partners are present in all 
case studies, and they have a special responsibility for exploitation and commercialization of the project research 
results and outcomes. AquaVitae will have a lasting impact on society through the in troduction of new species, and 
through the development of new processes and products based on a circular economy / zero waste approach with 
improved sustainability. AquaVitae will produce Good Practice standards, facilitate industry apprenticeship and 
student exchange, support extensive training programs for industry, academia, and the public, and contribute to the 
implementation of the  EU -Brazil -South Africa Belém Statement.

Output or impact  Impacts of research, innovation and capacity building are often only recognizable in the long term, but in the short and 
medium term can be measured through creation  of new technologies, services and products. Most of the projects are still 
ongoing and have not yet produced records of specific outputs. Many of the projects are applying a multi -actor approach. 
They combine the knowledge systems of scientists, advisors,  farmers and other food systems actors in creation, execution 
and implementation of results. They are addressing challenges within a regional, national or local context, if successfully 
implemented, they have potential to contribute towards increased knowl edge, and to stimulate local and scaled -up 
innovation processes. Considering, in addition that the projects align with global developmental challenges such as 
addressing poverty, hunger and malnutrition, combating the effects of climate change and conservi ng biological resources. 
The projects have the potential for generating technologies and solutions with relevance and potential for uptake in LDCs in 
Africa and other partner countries. Further facilitation of adoption and use of outputs from research and innovation initiatives 
in the partnership will be supported by a new innovation initiative towards improvements in agricultural eco -productivity, 
enterprise development in food systems.

Collaboration Programme  
Output or impact  Over the duration of the partnership, and particularly during the pha se 2017 -2020, COSECSA as has seen a huge 
increase in its level of activity. In the past three years, COSECSA has graduated 242 specialist surgeons. This 
represents 53% of the total number of graduates (450) in COSECSA's twenty -year history.  
 
The latest ret ention 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 t raining 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 information  
• Interactive e -learning tool for non -surgeon cadres performing basic surgery and anaesthesia in Low and Middle 
Income Countries.  
• Development of e xamination standard operating procedures, collaboration on delivery of various seminars, 
exchange of examiners, and assistance in the establishment of a Court of Examiners.

- 52 - 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 depend ent on farm incomes. Many agricultural interventions 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 con sensus 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 environ ment 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 host governments. The desirab le 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 cent ral 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 hea lth, food production, veterinary practice, food 
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 th e programme or project  Other ((A new call for applications opened in July 2021. Grants linked to this new call are to be disbursed in Q4 2021. 
This call was originally to take place in Q1 but was delayed due to the process to introduce new enhancements to 
the application and evaluation processes to enhance the Programme's performance and further ensure that 
additionality is achieved in terms of private investment and sustainable development impact. It is planned that going 
forward there will be two calls fo r 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, the DFA has put out two tenders to (i ) contract a communications company to help raise 
the profile of the programme and (ii) a technical services provider to deliver due diligence and investment advisory 
supports.))  
Duration and timing  The AADP was originally established in 2012 as the 'Afri ca Agri Food Development Fund'. Following a review in 2016, 
it was renamed the AADP and re -launched in July 2017.

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 superst ructure of – and establishes the technical link between – the individual 
sub-regional technical networks; its effectiveness is mainly evident at the macro and at the meso 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 
with 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 removed. 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 with 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 barrier s to trade and 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 relevant industrial sectors. Moreover, the economic prospects 
of cooperation with the EU are also enhanced.

Objective or purpose  Shallow groundwater resources (SGWR ) for household irrigation has been mapped in Ethiopia since 2013 with results 
being transferred to regions and districts for implementation. However, the challenge remains as there is no 
monitoring system of SGWR that documents potential negative decline of groundwater level caused by overpumping 
and/or deterioration in groundwater quality through increased salinity. The project aims to establish the first group 
of monitoring wells for SGWR by drilling of shallow monitoring wells, optimization of monitorin g networks and training 
of experts in the region. This should accelerate future large -scale monitoring programme and contribute to the
