How to overcome the challenge of livestock traceability in Brazil. <p>Cattle ranching, is widely recognized as the activity most commonly found in recently deforested areas. Consequently, the entire sector, from animal husbandry to industrial processing of beef as a final product has attracted the attention of governments, non-governmental organizations, retail chains and beef and cattle importers. At present, monitoring of indirect suppliers is the main gap that impeding the effectiveness of commitments to effectively control deforestation. In 2020, the high deforestation rates and the scandals associating large meatpacking plants and retailers with the devastation of the Amazon Rainforest again brought the issue to the forefront, causing great commotion in Brazilian and international media and prompting international investors to demand effective measures from the industry to ensure comprehensive control of the supply chain.</p><p>Conecta is a tool/platform for qualification, traceability and transparency that provides full coverage of the beef production chain, which operates under voluntary adherence of cattle ranchers and/or rural producers. By joining the platform and using the tool, cattle ranchers authorize the system to access environmental data for their properties and the health data of their herd in the official databases of the states and the Federal Government. With this, the platform is able to aggregate the existing information on direct suppliers, identify related indirect suppliers and conduct new analyses in order to expand the monitoring of the social and environmental situation to the entire supply chain.</p><p>This project is structured towards three outcomes that will increase and/or install Conecta in some of the main beef-producing states, create or increase Conecta access to data from official databases and extend Conecta to other rural production chains. With these three outcomes, the expected impact is to reduce deforestation in the cattle and beef production chain, increase environmental awareness and engagement of cattle ranchers, slaughterhouses, retailers and consumers, and ensure that cattle traceability is no longer an unsolvable challenge in Brazil.</p>

Fortaleciendo la trayectoria en STEM de mujeres j¿venes de Argentina Contract related to: Fortaleciendo la trayectoria en STEM de mujeres j¿venes de Argentina - Human rights and democracy are founding values of the EU. Protecting and promoting HR&amp;D is therefore a key priority of the EU¿s external action. It is also a precondition for sustainable development and for building more inclusive, open and resilient societies.Yet, recent data show that globally, most countries are far from having acceptable human rights and democracy track records. In this context, worsened by the COVID crisis, the EU re-affirmed its commitment to support human rights and democracy worldwide by adopting the `Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024¿. The Action Plan identifies priorities and key actions, to ensure that the EU plays a greater role in promoting and defending human rights and democracy throughout its external action. The Regulation (EU) 2021/947 (Global Europe) establishes the legal basis for the human rights and democracy actions. Particularly, its annex III details the areas of intervention for human rights and democracy.The overall objective of the present action is to contribute to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, democracy and the rule of law worldwide. The action will achieve this objective by supporting and strengthening civil society organisations (CSOs), democracy activists and human-rights defenders working on critical human rights and democracy issues in non-EU countries. It may also cover, where relevant, the promotion of international humanitarian law. Consequently, it will contribute to the 5 priorities of the Multiannual Indicative programme 2021-2027 as well as the specific priorities set out for the additional funding coming from the cushion.This action will mainly be implemented by EU Delegations in-country so as to: (i) better respond to the country-specific contexts; (ii) be as close as possible to the needs of the rights holders; and (iii) promote a sense of `ownership¿ of the action among local actors. The actions financed at country level will be in line with: (i) the EU action plan for human rights and democracy; (ii) EU guidelines on human rights; and (iii) the respective Human Rights and Democracy country strategies or priorities under the EU accession process. All actions will follow a human rights based approach putting people at the centre of actions and also focusing on promoting gender equality.

Top-up and extension of the implementation period of the AL-INVEST Verde programme The overall objective of the AL-INVEST Verde programme is to promote Sustainable Growth and Jobs creation through supporting the transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient and a more circular economy, as well as to promote the Green Agenda in Latin America. The programme is composed of 3 Components. Component 1 is implemented by a consortium of seven institutions led by SEQUA, German development organisation. Component 2 is implemented by a consortium of two EU Member States agencies composed of FIIAPP (Fundación Internacional y para Iberoamérica de Administración y Políticas Públicas), Spain, and IILA (Organizzazione Internazionale Italo-Latino Americana), Italy. Component 3 under the leadership of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Since the beginning of the implementation of the programme, it appeared that the budget allocation for Components 2 and 3 are underestimated particularly with regards to the needs and actions to be developed and implemented in relation to the Green Agenda ¿ particularly&nbsp; the new acquis e.g. EU Deforestation Regulation (EU DR). Therefore, the proposed addendum aims to add EUR 4.7M for Components 2 and 3 of the AL-INVEST Verde Programme, and to extend by up to 14 months the implementation period of the ¿Commission Implementing Decision C(2020) 7917 of 12 November 2020 on the financing of the annual action programme for 2020 ¿ part II ¿ in favour of the Latin American region to be financed from the general budget of the Union¿. From the top-up of EUR 4.7 M - EUR 3.7 M would be added to Indirect management with a Member State Organisation under Specific Objective 2 Policy support; and EUR 1M to Indirect management with an EU specialised agency under Specific Objective 3 Intellectual property.&nbsp;
