U CLAP – Uganda Corporate sustainability Landscape Assessment Partnership U CLAP is a precompetitive collaboration between Export Trading Group Coomodities (ETG), Neumann Kaffee Groupe (NKG = Ibero Uganda) and Ugacof (= Sucafina) for efficient preparation for EU due diligence regulations in the Greater Masaka coffee growing region in Uganda.A wide range of coffee traders and roasters are sourcing the Ugandan Greater Masaka region, with potential wider range of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) risks, however the coffee players are lacking a shared understanding in prevalence and severity of actual risks.The U CLAP landscape partnership will prepare Ugandan coffee companies, and the wider sector, for upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) regulation and complement the legality risk assessment of EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) through landscape-level monitoring and the defining of several remediation pathways.This innovative collaboration allows for cost-efficient and high-quality scoping and addressing of risks, with shared risk prioritization and definitions. Upon successful completion, the consortium welcomes a scale-up with the wider coffee sector in Uganda.The key activities of the project include:•	2024 – "A State of Affairs" from existing studies social and environmental risks in Greater Masaka, Uganda robusta coffee supply chain with recommendations for joint monitoring (e.g. gaps in current data, shared definitions), followed by a hybrid workshop for the coffee sector in June 2024.•	2025 – Joint monitoring of coffee farmers and communities by Ugacof, NKG and ETG, to scope prevalence, severity and corporate contribution of social and environmental risks.•	2026 – Mini pilots on remediation pathways for companies to address social and environmental risks.The U CLAP project has an advisory board of sector partners to allow for broader learning in within the coffee sector. There is also alignment with existing initiatives in Uganda on human rights and environmental protection to prevent duplicate efforts and explore future synergies.

Pressed loam stone in DR Congo Oskam B.V. will demonstrate innovative and environmentally friendly production technology for the production of sustainable, pressed loam stones. A mobile hydraulic stone press will be used for the demonstration. This (relatively small) machine pushes a mixture of loam and sand into heavy building blocks and can produce about 360 loam stones per hour. The big advantage is that the raw materials are available on site so that a lot of energy can be saved on transport. Because the bricks are not further baked, the energy consumption in comparison with the production of bricks in wood-fired ovens is extremely low. Another advantage of Oskam’s machines is that they are handy and mobile and can easily be transported to the intended construction site on a truck or trailer.For the demonstration, a number of people from the local partner CRAFOD will be trained in operating the production line, as well as in the use of the pressed loam stones that require a separate masonry and construction technique. With the loam stones, a number of buildings (classroom, house) will be built as part of this demonstration project. By means of the demonstration of the press machine and the buildings deposited with loamy stones, customers and authorities will be convinced of the advantages of loam stones.

Sustainable and affordable poultry for all The most prominent problem in Myanmar is the low agricultural production and limited competition in feed and poultry, which causes the price of poultry to be about twice as high as in neighbouring Thailand. Yet, poultry is the most important source of animal protein in Myanmar. The SAPA project (Sustainable and Affordable Poultry for All) targets the poultry chain, and corn is the most essential feed source for poultry. A day-old chicks (DoC) hatchery will be established under a Joint Venture by DHM and Belgabroed, with a capacity of 7.2 million DoCs each year. In addition, a farm will be constructed to raise broodstock, and farmers will undergo training to produce eggs for the hatchery. 250 Key broiler farmers and 500 workers will receive training on good broiler farm management, utilizing quality management systems as a model for excellence. In addition and parallel to corn variety trials, a corn capacity training programme will be established using 25 corn trader-suppliers reaching out to 2,500 corn farmers using improved inputs and the latest technologies. The project's sustainability is enhanced by establishing a club of 50 broiler farmers and conducting workshops and seminars with key stakeholders in Myanmar to promote safe poultry production.The project claims to increase the supply of chicken meat by 18 million kg per year, equivalent to the annual consumption of 1 million people, and an overall direct created value of USD 40 million per year or USD 160 million over a four-year project period. Income is generated for about 6,700 people. The aim of this partnership is to improve food security and rural incomes in Myanmar through the introduction of improved farming practices, resulting in lower cost prices and productivity gains in corn and poultry farming.

Coastal & Delta Management visitors programme transport costs Delta- and coastal management challenges in Ghana are not addressed through a Coherent, integrated approach. Various government agencies are responsible to sectoral aspects only. Institutional mechanisms to coordinate planning and management are lacking. Emergencies like flooding and erosion are dealt with in an ad-hoc manner. Likewise, private investments in the area are hampered by this lack of institutional coordination.A visitors program for (government) stakeholders with regard to delta/coastal management is organized with the following aims: •	Putting Ghana on the agenda in the Netherlands as Delta country to deepen the links and contacts for possible cooperation and commercial interests;•	Taking the first steps toward an institutional framework and integrated approach for coastal and delta management in Ghana (by getting to a common understanding regarding Delta challenges in Ghana, insight in relevant best practices in the Netherlands and worldwide).

The Netherlands - Myanmar Poultry Cooperation Myanmar is one of the least developed markets in the world, due to decades of stagnation and political and economic isolation. Population growth, urbanization, increasing purchasing power of a rising middle class, consciousness about food quality & safety and changing consumer preference towards protein-rich products will increase demand for poultry meat and eggs. Demand for poultry products is therefore expected to more than double within the next 10 years.Consequently, enormous capacity expansion in domestic poultry production and slaughtering and (further) processing activities will be required. Furthermore, productivity will have to increase, among others by improving the knowledge level of those working in the poultry sector and introducing enhanced (knowledge-intensive) production systems. A consortium of leading companies and knowledge institutes from the Netherlands are committed to work together in strengthening the poultry sector in Myanmar. Larive International B.V. will act as coordinator of the partnership.Based upon discussions with relevant stakeholders in Myanmar and Dutch poultry experts, the consortium has decided to specific pay attention on animal health, prevention, control and contamination of animal diseases, breeding, hatching, farm management and food safety. Furthermore, this project aims to improve sustainability within the chain, trigger and support entrepreneurship and share values about integer business practices and animal welfare. Core activities of the consortium are transfer of know-how (e.g. providing training programmes) and demonstration of best practices. The envisioned timeline to execute the activities within this project is 2.5 years (September 2015 - December 2017). Target groups are particularly middle management of domestically owned private sector parties (feed mills, broiler and layers farms and slaughter markets), government agency officials and university and vocational training institute lecturers, PhDs and (post-graduate) students. It is the ambition of the consortium to continue and extend the cooperation after completing the 2G@there OS project.
