PNDP Centre Diagnostic d'Oncologie In Burkina Faso, the life expectancy has risen considerably the last decades. One of the consequences is the fact that cancer has become number one in mortality causes (well above AIDS and Malaria). The health sector, both Governmental as private is not yet equipped for proper diagnosis and treatment of this disease. For diagnosis, patients have to travel to France or Tunisia. One of the most reputable private clinics, Notre Dame de la Paix wants to open a specialised cancer clinic in Ouagadougou. They are supported by a Malian company GMI S.A.R.L. being the applicant of this project.

Incoming mission aquaculture India This mission aims to showcase the Dutch expertise in the aquaculture sector to Indian companies through workshops, industry visits and knowledge sessions. The mission is also of importance because of the possibility of an EU market ban on Indian shrimp due to the presence of antibiotics in Indian shrimp. Failure to implement effective measures to address this problem could lead to a substantial decline in shrimp exports from India to the EU, potentially resulting in a complete trade stop. Currently, the exposure of the Dutch aquaculture sector to the Indian market is limited and restricted to a few Dutch companies active in the feed industry. The potential of the Indian market is unknown in the Netherlands. The Indian industry is not aware of the Dutch expertise. Organizing the incoming mission will connect the two sectors.

Sustainable eradication and prevention of child labour in hazelnuts The problem of child labour has a multi-causal and multi-dimensional structure. The factors that cause child labour are all closely related to one another. These factors are mainly poverty and unemployment as well as the families’ lack of education. Our project aims to eliminate child labour in a specific part of our hazelnut supply chain. Subsequently, we wish to implement this model in order to cover our whole supply chain.The project consists of the following interventions:1.	Awareness trainings for seasonal workers (especially women) and for labour contractors who bring the labour force to the hazelnut growing areas. We give those trainings together with an NGO and the Ministry of Labour.2.	Farmers group trainings on good labour conditions and how to prevent child labour. These trainings take place throughout the year  with an accelerated trainings closer to the harvest before the arrival of the seasonal workers in the hazelnut growing areas.3.	Summer schools for children of the seasonal workers during the harvest season so they are no longer obliged to accompany their parents into the fields.4.	Engagement with other stakeholders and lobbying activities with the central and local government in order to create 5 Child Labour Free Villages. As a result of our efforts to eliminate child labour in our supply chain, in 2022 we reached more than the targeted numbers in our social trainings: 813 women / 736 male workers were trained at the origins;762 women / 637 male workers were trained during the harvest time ;719 farmers were trained;27 labour contractors were trained and licensed;231 children between the age 4 to 15 attended the summer schools; 1 ‘Child Labour free Village’ was nominated as a result of our social awareness efforts during 3 years.During the implementation of our project we faced and face many obstacles: unexpected events such as COVID, the unfavourable national economy creating high inflation rates and more poverty, early election announcements as well as a devastating earthquake and floods in the South East of Turkey create challenges to reach our final project outcome. Nevertheless, we continue to create a model which can be sustained for the prevention of child labour in our supply chain. An important element of this model is to create awareness on why prevention of child labour in the supply chain is important and how it can be enforced  with all stakeholders. Quote from “Child labour free village” farmer:“ In our village we  are committed not to allow children in our gardens. We know that child labour is illegal. We all need to work together to put an end to it. We want children  to learn knowledge not earn money. This is how we can contribute to their future”.
