Sustainable upgrading of textile and garment industry in Uzbekistan In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan about Accelerated Development Measures for Textile and Sewing and Knitting Industry no. 5285 dated 14 December 2018, Uzbekistan plans to increase the share of the textile industry in the economy, the volume and quality of textile products, improve the systems of standardization and certification in the field of the textile industry, as well as to introduce advanced information and communication technologies in the industry. To ensure sustainable development of the textile industry, the #Uztuqimachiliksanoat# (Uzbekistan Textile Industry Association) was established and assigned a wide range of tasks aiming at sustainable development of the textile clusters, which are expected to be supported through soft financing, introduction of drip irrigation, and new methods of fertilization and harvesting.  In the official letter to Mr. Li Yong, Former Director General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), dated 24 August 2021, Mr. Ilkhom Khaydarov, Chairmen of the Textile and Garment Industry Association of the Republic of Uzbekistan, expressed interest in implementing a UNIDO project to introduce and apply the extensive experience of UNIDO on "Sustainable modernization of the textile and clothing industry" in the te
Applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and precision agriculture practices for the Aral sea area restoration and safeguarding The State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Ecology and Environmental Protection (currently the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Republic of Uzbekistan) has approached UNIDO to explore opportunities for the use of geoinformation systems for the monitoring of environmental parameters around Lake Aral and also for fostering digital innovations in e.g. agribusiness sectors.  Drones, satellite imagery and geoinformation systems are powerful tools when combined to give operators valuable insights. New connections between certain measures and effects can be established and therefore improve the overall environmental management of a region or city.  Thus, the idea for the project discussed was to establish an Analysis and Situation Center which pools the expertise in the analysis of geodata, use of drones and satellite imagery when necessary to provide high quality data to regional policy makers on the composition of the soil in the region, as well as the monitoring of other parameters to be defined by the center.  In a first step, a comprehensive capacity building programme is to be rolled out, alongside a detailed data collection, survey and the establishment of baseline data sets that provide a basis for upgrading.  Overall, the project is expected to contribute to social-economic restoration and recov

Formulation of the UNIDO Country Programme for Uzbekistan As requested by the Government of Uzbekistan, UNIDO will organize a needs assessment mission to Tashkent to meet with government and research counterpart institutions, and provide substantive contribution (presentation of UNIDO BIT programme and tools) to the workshop entitled "Towards business modernization in Uzbekistan: challenges and opportunities" to be organized on 4-6 April 2012 together with the Ministry for Foreign Economic Relations, Investments and Trade of Uzbekistan (please refer to the enclosed communication with the Ministry and workshop programme)..  The objective and rational of the needs assessment mission is to develop technical cooperation assistance for the country, where UNIDO currently has no ongoing projects, but has to fulfil its commitments to support the Government programmes and contribute to the achievement of national development goals within the UNDAF 2010-2015.  The activity was initiated by the DG during his meeting with the Uzbek Ambassador in April 2011, when the DG committed to support the Government programme in the part of private sector development. The idea was welcomed by the Uzbek Ambassador and the DG was asked by the Uzbek Government to provide his comments on the President's Address on democratic reforms in the country related to private sector.

Toward a sustainable and better quality of life of small farmers in the dry corridor of Nicaragua Nicaragua is devastated by disasters due to climate change. In the last decade cycles of severe droughts and floods have caused enormous impact in the region. Nicaragua rates as the fourth country most affected by extreme weather events (Global climate index, Germanwatch, 2015). Nicaragua´s dry corridor where this programme will be implemented is agriculturally challenged but is the only land that subsistence farmers can access with 800 mm of annual rain. Here the malnutrition rate is 20%-27%, above the national average of 16% and the concentration of the most vulnerable poor is greatest (rural 68% versus urban 29%).  The four municipalities where the partners work are identified as very critical to suffering recurrent droughts (Nicaragua Territorial Study Institute - INITER 2011).  The frequency of natural disaster occurrences is increasing due to climate change. The region will be hit increasingly harder over the next 50 years unless action to mitigate and adapt (ECLA, 2009) is taken. These vulnerable rural communities are trapped in a cycle of poverty and lack of access to resilient livelihoods (water, nutritious food, incomes).  This three year project will contribute to 900 HH increasing their resilient livelihoods and to reducing climate change vulnerability for men and women in the poorest communities in the dry corridor of these three departments. Given their central location their experiences and best practices will become known to other communities and people our partner work with.
Supporting women producers and young entrepreneurs for a better future in Nicaragua On the issue of technical training and socio-economic enterprise, there is a high level of unemployment in Nicaragua, which generates an enormous social and political pressure in the country, where the largest percentage of the economically active population ( approximately 1.749 million inhabitants), is composed of young people between 15 and 25 years and that, according to several studies, they do not perform any permanent occupation as employment activity and / or production.

This problem, coupled with inadequate funding for vocational training, faces a shortage and discontinuity of resources to meet the competitive demands of the global economy, poses a challenge to articulate policies and strategies consistent with scenarios as to where to coordinate public and private efforts, as well as programs and projects of international development cooperation that can provide training and entrepreneurial alternatives for this population group that is growing economically and socially marginalized in the country.

One of the most important strategies for fighting poverty is education, training and job creation for the population. Traditionally the curricula of the country do not offer technical alternatives to the students training, which generates a lot of graduates that due to their precarious economic situation cannot go to college, the only possibility left to them is getting employment without qualification and in a worst case scenario, be unskilled work for EPZs, other industries or jobs where they perceive a very low salary, which implies a stagnation in their living conditions and greatly restricts their ability to improve their situation.

Hence the interest in developing actions to help answer this problem and influence and improve technical education in urban and rural population with emphasis on women, through the provision of technical training workshops for people - especially women - of surrounding communities and neighborhoods of intervention centers.

The project is aimed to develop sustainable means for women living in vulnerable suburban and rural areas to procure a better quality of life. Specifically it tries to help empower urban and rural women through training and access to sustainable socio-economic developments. It will target the rural community Lechecuagos in Leon and urban Ciudad Sandino in Managua and more directly women and girls. In total 360 people will be benefited direct and indirectly from the actions contemplated in the Project during three years.

The project, with the support of Misereor, has been extended and aims to support young entrepreneurs.

JWCT support is extended until 15 April 2020.
Community development in rural Nicaragua, phase 4 This project aims to promote human development in three municipalities in Nicaragua.

This project will be implemented in the three municipalities (Villa del Carmen, Tipitapa, Dario).  This new phase will build on this previous work and presence in the region.  The Institute has worked with different themes to promote human development such as health, education, community organization, housing, and risk reduction and management. In addition, in these places there are strong grassroots partner organizations with trained leaders and well developed self-management skills.  Additional organizational structures also exist in these municipalities such as farmer co-ops, credit unions, and women’s organizations.  Parallel to this, the current government is encouraging an associative policy in rural areas. 

The persisting problem in these rural areas is the lack of access to social and economic initiatives to improve agricultural productivity. This is the problem on which John XXIII will focus its next project, phase 4. The Institute will work to scale up and strengthen farmer cooperatives by building human capacities within all organizations located in the three municipalities. The idea is that families have access to social and economic alternatives such as technical assistance and credit, and build strong organizations that can influence decision makers.  

The results of the project will be improved access to different capital resources including social, human, financial and natural capital that will allow families to increase income generation as result of the productive and economic activities implemented. The project will promote market access and technologies that improve the food quality such as food safety, and finally added value to the food through the agro-industry process. A risk and climate change management approach will be mainstreamed in all activities of these coops.
