Grass for Sustainable Growth Miscanthus Giganteus is a species of grass with highly efficient photosynthesis and is suitable for various applications, replacing raw materials in the energy and fuel industry and in construction. The processed grass (in dry form: grains or briquettes) can amongst others be used for building materials, biofuel and animal feed. Miscanthus is also considered a very attractive plant in the rapidly growing demand for cellulose pulp. It is a very sustainable agro-product with specific economic and environmental beneficial properties. Not only does Miscanthus grass grow in diverse climates, there are also a very limited number of fertilizers or chemical pesticides necessary.The project intends to address economic and social needs to the communities in the rural areas in the form of supply of the Miscanthus grass raw material. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop a circular production chain in South Africa for the creation of geo-fibres, a climate friendly alternative. The project will be executed in the Eastern Cape province. The grass will be cultivated on former mining areas. This will contribute to the economic development of the area, bring employment to an area with high unemployment figures, contribute to the black empowerment and will contribute to the rehabilitation of polluted land with heavy metals as a result of the (surface) mining. The grass will absorb and separate the heavy metals. In this way the land will be of bigger economic value.The applicant for this project is Dutch aWEARness, which operates in the sustainable fashion industry, together with the partners Development Trust/EKCON Engineers & Project Managers Pty Ltd, Alternafruit SA Pty Ltd (specialist in developing exotic fruit production) and Ingca Investments (Pty) LT.

Poultry health and disease control at farm level Myanmar is an emerging market with strong economic growth, leading to increasing demand for sustainable, locally produced and safe poultry products. To fulfil the growing demand, productivity needs to increase significantly and problems with food safety need to be solved. The private sector lacks knowledge about biosecurity, farm management, disease recognition and control, disease monitoring and data collection. In addition, there is a lack of quality perception at the laboratory level and cooperation between the private and public sectors.This training project aims to improve poultry health and disease control in Myanmar at the private sector level by training farm managers and veterinarians on biosecurity and farm management, disease recognition and control, disease monitoring and data collection.Envisioned training locations:Lower Myanmar: Yangon region. States: Yangon, Bago and Ayeyarwady.Upper Myanmar: Mandalay region. States: Mandalay, Magwe and Sagaing.East Myanmar: Taunggyi region. States: Shan and Kayah.Alternatively to be combined with training sessions in the locations Yangon and Mandalay.

Demonstration of local coffee roasting Rwanda Giesen Coffee Roasters B.V. develops innovative machines and associated equipment for small to medium-sized coffee roasters. The machines can roast green coffee beans in batches from 1 to 120 kg. A specific flavour can be extracted from the beans by controlling the temperature. The machines/roasters are purchased worldwide by shops, coffee shops and coffee roasters.Giessen wants to increase its export opportunities in Rwanda by means of a demonstration project. Coffee cultivation is a crucial part of the economy there, but coffee roasting is not. Currently only a small part of the total coffee production in Rwanda is roasted. More than 90% is exported as raw green bean to large buyers abroad. These buyers often have good long-term contacts. Giessen initially focuses on the niche target group of relatively small coffee producers and cooperatives and local coffee roasters that supply the local market.A roasted bean yields much more and has a more stable price, which will also improve the position of this target group. The intended result is that farmers earn more in a sustainable manner and that a new sales market will arise for Giessen.
Stratigraphic Nomenclature Capacity Building in Tanzania The Tanzania Stratigraphic Nomenclature project is a joint initiative between the Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority (PURA) and the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC).

Innovation Window: Digital Innovations for eCooking
Market Development The project, a collaboration between Practical Action, the National Association of Community Electricity Users' Nepal (NACEUN), and the Ajummery Bikas Foundation (ABF), with funding support through the EnDev Innovation Window of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) was implemented in two districts of the Gandaki Province, Parbhat and Syangja. The digital platforms developed are aimed at accelerating the eCooking market. The project focuses on three key areas: (i)	the development of web/mobile-based digital applications for eCooking market actors and users,(ii)	capacity building of eCooking users and supply chain actors in utilizing digital applications for informed decision-making, and (iii)	establishing linkages between demand and supply chain actors to promote eCooking market development. The project is perceived to be a commendable attempt to introduce digital platforms in the clean cooking sector. Although the number of cookstove sales through digital platforms remained at just about two-thirds of the target, the overall information reach exceeded the numbers. The project successfully promoted digital innovations on both the demand and supply sides. It had a positive impact on users' perception of eCooking technology, empowering rural women in decision-making, and promoting a clean kitchen environment for end-users. The project implementation demonstrated efficiency, offering cost-effectiveness and time-saving benefits through the digital platform. Sustainability can be achieved through the platform's adaptability and stakeholder collaboration.
