Build bamboo planting material delivery systems At present, all three East African countries face a major shortage in availability of bamboo planting material, a fundamental requirement for industry development. For example, to protect against siltation alone the Blue Nile, the Amhara Agriculture Bureau plans to plant 30 million bamboo plants for erosion control, with current nurseries producing less than 1 million plants per year. INBAR will work with national focal points and designated local civil society and private sector partners in each country to build the capacity of existing bamboo/forestry nurseries to produce high quality planting material. This will include support to introduce new bamboo species, where appropriate, based on the findings of the market studies. China will also provide technical assistance and provide experts to assist in bamboo nursery development or upgrading, as well as downstream delivery systems to farmers. By the end of the project 15 nurseries upgraded or established with 2.135 million plants produced and distributed by the end of the project – Ethiopia (5 government nurseries – 2 million plants; 2 village nurseries – 20,000 plants), Kenya (5 village nurseries – 50,000 plants), and Uganda (5 village nurseries – 50,000 plants); 3 INBAR-developed containerized micro-tissue culture household units set up, with one in each country producing 5,000 plants each per year by the end of the project. During Year 1 of the Programme (Oct 2016 to Dec 2017); Six bamboo nurseries located at (1) Arbegona (SNNPRS region); (2) Bambis (Benishangul-Gumuz region); (3) Bibugn (Amhara region); (4) Haro-Wonchi (Oromia region); (5) Maryem (Tigray region) and (6) Debrazit (Forest Research Centre) were upgraded with co-finance activity from INBAR SLMP II project. These nurseries had produced 1,087,680 bamboo plantlets. A total of 28 village / micro/demonstration nurseries were established and /or facilitated, and total of 144, 132 bamboo plants were produced in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. During the year 2 (Jan - Dec 2018) the programme supported 33 nurseries. Out of which, 18 large scale nurseries produced a total of 816,251 bamboo plants, 15 small / micro scale nurseries established produced a total of 136,375 bamboo plants. During Year 3, the programme supported production of 1,130,224 bamboo plants. Seven (7) tissue culture experts from Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda were trained on bamboo tissue culture in India.

Programme fédéral belge de Coopération internationale communale (PCIC) Sénégal - phase 2022-2026 Le programme au Sénégal vise le renforcement des collectivités territoriales sénégalaises (4 communes) afin qu’elle puisse accompagner au mieux le développement économique local de leur territoire, en particulier à travers leur Bureau de Développement Local. 

Derrière l’appui au Développement Economique Local Durable, la commune veille à offrir les opportunités et outils pour permettre notamment aux plus vulnérables d’accéder à des choix de développer leurs compétences et projets, pour eux, leur famille et plus largement le territoire sur lequel ils vivent. Elle veille aussi à offrir une meilleure qualité de services, qui commence par un bon accueil.

Pour ce faire, de nouveaux outils et services seront développés ou renforcés au sein de la commune, notamment le Fonds Communal de Développement Local (crédits) qui sera accessible aux petites entreprises et aux citoyens pour développer des projets économiques durables, et qui serviront à une réelle prise en main, par la commune, de l'information territoriale. Le renforcement se fera aussi par une numérisation accrue de ces outils et services.

Plusieurs actions seront par ailleurs développées, en lien avec les acteurs du territoire et la population, pour augmenter les recettes endogènes et exogènes de la commune (sensibilisation au civisme fiscal, développement de partenariats Publics Privés, etc).

Le programme de coopération inter-communale se base sur les partenariats entre communes belges et Sénégalaises, et l’échange d’expertise et de bonnes pratiques entre eux.

Remarque : pour plus de lisibilité, le cadre logique a été mis en annexe (annexe 8) en plus de la description sur le portail. Les groupes cibles de l’intervention sont en premier lieu, les acteurs de l’institution communale : les élus locaux et les agents des services communaux.
Ensuite, de manière indirecte, les partenaires locaux au sein des territoires sur lesquelles les communes s'appuient le cas échéant pour la mise en œuvre de leur mission de service public.
Enfin, les autorités de tutelle, centrales ou déconcentrées, qui interviennent dans l’évolution technique et juridique de l’institution communale. Au terme des 5 ans, en 2026, les Collectivités Territoriales Sénégalaises partenaires du Programme CIC, mieux outillées ont amélioré significativement,  de manière participative et inclusive,  leur offre de services pour le Développement Economique Local Durable

La participation citoyenne sera au cœur du programme, garante d’une politique d’action sociale pertinente et inclusive. Pour se faire, le programme permettra aux communes partenaires de renforcer les initiatives de participation citoyenne ou de s’initier aux approches participatives. Des projets innovants à destination des publics cibles seront soutenus. Le travail et la coordination entre la commune et les associations locales, acteurs clés au niveau de la commune et de son développement, sera poursuivi. De même, une attention particulière sera portée à la durabilité des actions mises en place et à la recherche de financement endogènes ou externes, que ce soit pour les communes directement, ou en appui aux associations plus indirectement. 

Le programme de coopération inter-communale se base sur les partenariats entre communes belges et marocaines, et l’échange d’expertise et de bonnes pratiques entre eux.

Remarque : Pour plus de lisibilité, le cadre logique a été mis en annexe (annexe 8) - en plus de la description sur le portail. Le groupe-cible principal est constitué principalement des élus et des fonctionnaires des communes marocaines partenaires ainsi que des associations locales associées. 
Les femmes, les jeunes, les migrants et les personnes à besoins spécifiques constituent les bénéficiaires finaux prioritaires des interventions de la CIC.

Les autorités de tutelle, centrales ou déconcentrées, de par le fait que le développement de l'administration locale les amène à faire évoluer leur organisation, la législation et leurs pratiques.
Opening Doors to Schools: improving access to quality education and increasing learning outcomes for children in 80 poor rural school in the Upper East Region of Ghana We believe in the rights of all children, everywhere and that they should be valued, protected and met by all. We exist to make this the reality for children in northern Ghana, where more than half of all families live in poverty and 1 in 15 children die before their 5th birthday. Our award-winning work keeps thousands of children happy, healthy, safe and in school every year. Everything we do is led by local staff with the simple approach of listening to their communities and empowering them to make sustainable changes themselves. By working with all levels of society - from parents and community groups, to the government and private sector - we ensure child protection, education and health systems work for all children, especially the most vulnerable. Ultimately, this is helping families break the cycle of poverty for good.
