Sustainable Land Information Management in Vietnam (Part II) The current system of land use and land rights in Vietnam does not utilise the full potential of the available land. Therefore, Vietnam is in the process of revising the Land Law. One of the main envisaged changes is that bigger plots are allowed through land consolidation. Then, farmers can develop from being barely subsistence to agricultural entrepreneurs. The Vietnamese government has requested advice and support from Kadaster. This mission will further analyse the request for support as input for an actual project plan.

Towards future perspectives on wastewater treatment and sustainable sludge management The aim of the project is to go towards future perspectives on wastewater treatment and sustainable sludge management based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in the context of climate change and the water-energy-food nexus.In order to give follow-up to the recommendations given in the Strategic vision on Sludge to Energy, support is needed on:1.	The development of nationwide strategies for evaluating the impacts and implications of climate change on wastewater treatment and sustainable sludge management in the context of the water-energy-food nexus. To reach this objective, the environmental performance based on LCA methodology of different scenarios for the improvement of existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and sludge management will be studied, including paying attention to the cost-effectiveness of each proposed scenario.2.	The development of real business cases or models based on the results of the LCA methodology for both sewage treatment and sludge management improvement. This will help decision-makers to develop future plans. More importantly, it could provide a basis to attract the attention of the private sector to invest in this important sector.

Increasing knowledge on semiconductors for industry and knowledge institutes International corporations are diversifying their production to reduce reliance on China, known as the China+1 strategy. Vietnam is benefiting, especially in high-tech manufacturing like semiconductors, attracting investments from Japan, Korea, America, and now the Netherlands. However, Vietnamese companies lack direct collaboration with foreign firms and skilled labor. Despite advantages like strategic location, low costs, and Foreign Trade Agreements, Vietnam lacks in infrastructure and skilled workforce. To develop its semiconductor industry, Vietnam needs workforce training and international collaboration.The Netherlands has strategic interest in boosting Vietnam's semiconductor industry to enhance global supply diversity. The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is organizing a semiconductor talent program open to Vietnamese students, amongst other, aiming to provide insights, networking, and knowledge exchange. The Netherlands embassy in Vietnam is facilitating the participation of five Vietnamese students in the program, with follow-up sessions planned for knowledge sharing and networking at local universities in Vietnam.

Pilot digital skills development Students from Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutes in Ethiopia, even after completing their education, generally lack basic or average levels of digital literacy and skills. This leaves them in a disadvantaged position on the job market.This pilot project addresses this issue by offering good quality tailor-made ToT training on digital skills to a group of 100 TVET trainers. These trainers will then integrate these digital trainings into their regular curriculum and train an estimated group of 1500 TVET students.If the training is successful and shows positive effects on entrepreneurship and employability it could be scaled up and be offered at all TVETs in Addis Ababa with support of the larger Dutch-supported LIWAY (Livelihoods Improvement for Women and Youth) project.
Circular Textile Recycling General objective:To investigate if the investment in a new production facility of circular textile recycling in Morocco is feasible.Technical objectives:Which machinery and which lay-out is necessary for an optimal production process and production flow in the new factory? This is rather complex, mainly because similar circular production units of recycled used textiles simply do not exist. There is no constant flow of the same kind of raw materials which is coming in regarding fabrics and quality. Having an optimal outflow out of different kind of used textiles which are coming in, is a challenge. Furthermore, it should investigated which land plot meets best the preferences of Wolkat. Land plots will be selected and will be judged regarding surface, size and availability of utilities and infrastructure.Organisational objectives:There has to be investigated if current employees want to move to the new location and if there are sufficient qualified personnel available. Within three years the expectation is to grow with 150-200 additional employees. Of course, this will have a huge impact on the organisational structure. The labour circumstances and safety instructions should remain according Western standards.Marketing objectives:It has to be clarified clearly to what extent customers are really committed to purchase from Wolkat in terms of turnover.Legal objectives:Risks regarding owner properties, destination plans and permit procedures should be investigated per selected land plot.Financial objectives:A solid financial analysis with corresponding investment plan will be necessary in which the financial feasibility of the investment should be clear.Environmental objectives:The factory should meet all Western environment standards even if these are more severe than those of Morocco. Wolkat is completely focused on reduction of ‘waste’ and wants to implement environmentally friendly solutions in the factory where possible.
