Democratic Governance Support Programme(DIALOGO) The purpose of the programme is to strengthen democratic governance in five urban municipalities. At the end of the programme, five municipalities in Mozambique will be distinguished by an increasingly vibrant civic life where citizens, media and government are well connected. As a result of this strengthened social fabric, locally identified priority issues will be routinely and constructively debated and addressed. Youth in these communities will be empowered through sustained relationship that make a meaningful difference in their lives over a period of time. The electoral processes will become more meaningful in these target municipalities as more women, youth and others participate in local government elections, amplify their issues and voices into the public arena.
Private Enterprise Programme Ethiopia PEPE will support private sector development, through improving firms’ access to finance and addressing market and government failures in identified value chains following M4P methodology. PEPE will be implemented through 2 components:1) Access to Finance. The access to finance pillar is expected to achieve the outcome of increasing investment levels in the Ethiopian economy, particularly for growth-oriented SME. 2) Priority Sector. The priority sectors pillar is expected to achieve the outcome of increasing returns on investment (productivity) and investment levels in the identified sectors (live stock and leather, cotton and textile,horticulture).                                                      
In both pillars, particular priority is given to supporting economic opportunity for women and “greening” growth.
Land Investment For Transformation The project purpose of the Land Investment for Transformation Programme (Ethiopia) is to increase land tenure security through second level land certification (SLLC) and improved rural land administration systems, maximising benefits to small holder farmers through to a Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) component, in the four states of Oromia, Amhara, Tigray and the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR). At the national level the project will work with the Government to ensure the transparency of land allocation, commercial land investment procedures and other policies and procedures are consistent with international good practice and human rights commitments. The LIFT Programme consists of three main pillars that includes: 1. Second Level Land Certification 2. M4P Interventions 3. Cross Cutting Policy Issues
Nutrition Action for Systemic Change (NASC) The FCDO’s Human Development Department leads on the delivery of the UK Government’s commitment to contribute to ending the preventable deaths of mothers, babies and children by 2030 (EPD) and its 2021 Nutrition for Growth (N4G) commitments. 
The FCDO is scoping options for a new Nutrition and Food Systems Technical Assistance Facility to provide technical assistance (TA) to support the design and development of FCDO programming and policy, and to facilitate UK nutrition policy and programming objectives. 
TA will be provided primarily to FCDO’s central and country teams, but also to LMIC governments (particularly EPD focus countries, food crisis-affected countries, and countries with a high burden of malnutrition) and other organisations (e.g. multilaterals, development finance institutions, civil society organisations, global platforms like the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement or UN Food Systems Coalitions) in support of FCDO programme and policy objectives and where FCDO requires independent advice or inputs into new and innovative thinking and products and rapid provision of technical teams to deliver specific
requirements where there is a time-sensitive need (for instance to respond to food crises in the horn of Africa).   

The Facility will support FCDO objectives to reform food systems to promote healthy and sustainable diets, integrate nutrition into health systems, respond to food and nutrition crises and other relevant sectors and programmes, and establish close links to FCDO’s wider EPD commitments. Technical assistance will be provided as short- or long-term expertise, and will target both policy and programmes across all stages, from design to implementation, monitoring, evaluation and learning. It will seek to make the most of existing investments by
FCDO and external stakeholders by enabling them to include an additional focus on nutrition outcomes.   This is in line with FCDO's approach and the UK’s N4G commitment to integrate nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive objectives and interventions into multiple sectors, including health, women and girls, humanitarian, climate, and economic development partnerships and investments.

Service Provider for Strengthening Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change in Kenya Plus (StARK) The stated aim of Kenya’s Vision 2030 is to ‘create a prosperous nation […] with a high quality of life’. However, climate change is a significant barrier to achieving this goal. Much of the Kenyan economy is based around sectors that are highly climate vulnerable, particularly tourism and agriculture (arable, horticulture (including floriculture) and livestock production), although other minor industries that employ significant numbers of people, such as fisheries (coastal and freshwater) and forestry are also sensitive to climate change. The energy sector is currently highly dependent on hydropower, and therefore it along with the industry and manufacturing that it powers is also climate vulnerable. In recent years Kenya has taken significant steps to address climate change vulnerability, delivering the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) in 2010, and the launch of the Kenyan National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) in March 2013. The DFID funded StARCK+ programme follows on from the original StARCK programme (2011-2013), which supported a range of activities to assist in Kenya’s approach to climate change. The StARCK+ programme consists of five components, the fifth component, for which HTSPE and partners have main responsibility, is the Finance for Innovation and Climate Change Fund (FICCF). By providing financial support to SMEs, this component enables companies to invest in technologies for sustainable agriculture, promoting innovation and capacity building in cilmate change aware agricultural production.
Arab Womens Enterprise Fund The Arab Women’s Enterprise Fund will promote more inclusive economic systems supporting poor women’s participation in markets in selected Arab countries.

It addresses the gaps in women’s economic empowerment in the MENA region, which has one of the lowest rates of female labour force participation in the world. The DAI team includes EFE (Education for Employment), a regional NGO working in all three countries where AWEF will co-locate its offices, and MarketShare Associates.
Rural Access Programme 3 DFID has been supporting the Nepal Rural Access Programme (RAP) to construct rural roads to increase access to market and social services for the rural poor and disadvantaged for the last 10 years through the RAP 1 and 2 programmes. The new phase of the Rural Access Programme will establish an independent monitoring, evaluation and learning component, for the first time. This activity will support robust assessments of impact and responsive thematic analysis on elements of the RAP approach to support policy and implementation processes.

Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) - Pillar 1 - Accountable, Capable and Responsive Government - ARC The Nigeria Public Sector Accountability and Governance Programme (PSAG), a five-year DFID-funded programme, will support the development of stronger public sector accountability to deliver public goods and services required for poverty reduction and growth, including to women and girls by strengthening links between governance reforms and service delivery. The programme was rebranded the Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) during the early phases of inception. PERL therefore responds to the long-term challenge by supporting ‘more accountable, effective, and evidence informed governments, that prioritise the sustainable delivery of public goods and services that meet citizens’ needs’. The programme will be delivered through three pillars. The first pillar, Accountable, Capable and Responsive (ARC) Government, which builds on reforms initiated through the State Partnership for Accountability Responsiveness and Capability (SPARC) and Federal Public Administration Reform (FEPAR) programme, will strengthen processes, practices and capabilities within government to ensure more accountable and effective use of public resources. The Accountable, Capable and Responsive Government Pillar (ARC) will work towards a goal of bringing about accountable public administration, resource management and delivery of public services at the state level, through regional reform hubs and at the federal level.

EU4Transport BA2021AAP The important challenge for BiH transport sector key stakeholders in terms of infrastructural development, is achieving full maturity of the road projects as a key step for further development of transport infrastructure on the Indicative extension of the TEN-T networks and corridors. The EU4Transport will support the preparation of future investments through provision of technical documents (main designs, tender documents, studies etc.).This action will build upon the results of the completed IPA funded intervention which has delivered the first phase technical documents for priority road sections on the Indicative extension of the TEN-T Core and Comprehensive network, namely Comprehensive Network Route 3, being the feasible conceptual design, studies required by the International Financial Institutions and legislative framework of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as inputs for compiling the tender dossier for forthcoming phases of implementation, needing structuring and criteria to be added by the Delegation. It will deliver technical documentation, namely preliminary and main design, studies and tender dossier for works, as a precondition for presenting the respective transport projects to the IFIs and attracting provision of financial support. The technical documentation shall include road safety documentation (Road Safety Audit) to ensure compliance with road safety requirements. Once the action delivers the needed documentation, the initiation of loan negotiations and application for substantial grant funds for co-financing investment projects in transport infrastructure is expected, with the allocation of significant financial resources soon, thanks to the high interest if IFIs to invest in BiH. So far, IFIs have never challenged their commitment to financing such interventions in BiH.The proposed action, covering infrastructural development of the sector, provides a direct benefit for all key stakeholders and has the widest possible dissemination of benefits, in particular on regional population and economies.Once the construction works have been carried out, the road sections will provide fast and efficient transit of international and local traffic, savings in travel time of passengers and goods, savings in operating costs of vehicles/trains, mitigation of environmental and social impact on the existing transport network, savings in maintenance costs of infrastructure, and improved safety issues through a reduced number of accidents, and attract investors in economies based on increased competitiveness gained by the proximity of efficient transport links.All interventions are foreseen to be in line with the priority list agreed by relevant sector institutions, to prevent ineffective spending that could be used for addressing other priorities from the long list in BiH.This action will support the most urgent needs the transport sector is facing in the EU accession process and regional integration process, where the Transport Community and Connectivity agenda contribute to setting these priorities.
