Scaling up the IMPALA system in Rwanda Goal 3 B.V. has worked for years on the development of the IMPALA system, a smart data-driven patient monitoring system aimed at hospitals in developing countries. With this system, health professionals can diagnose critical illnesses in newborns faster and better at an early stage. This leads to better quality and more efficient services, a decrease in neonatal mortality and time and cost savings for hospitals. The IMPALA system is made for the African context due to its robustness, ease of use and digital applications.In recent decades, much attention has been paid to improving health care in Rwanda. However, neonatal deaths are still relatively high and there is still little continuous patient monitoring in Rwandan district hospitals. In addition, there are other problems such as major shortages of personnel, lack of suitable medical devices and associated training for personnel.Goal 3 has 2 major potential customers interested in the IMPALA system:•	Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC); the implementing organization of the Rwandan Ministry of Health (MOH). Because 90% of hospitals in Rwanda are publicly funded, the RBC is the biggest potential customer for Goal 3.•	Partners in Health Rwanda (PIH); an American NGO active in maternal and child care.Both local partners want more information and proof that the system can function properly in the Rwandan context and that the system meets all standards before making a purchasing decision.This study aims to demonstrate, among other things, that the system meets all standards in terms of accuracy and precision of measurements, as well as ease of use.

G2G GreenCape – Waste project The Green Cape Initiative (Green Cape) is a sector development agency established by the Western Cape Provincial government and the City of Cape Town in 2010. Green Cape was established to unlock the manufacturing and employment potential in the green economy in the Western Cape. Through partnerships with WESGRO, provincial government and academia Green Cape provides a platform to build a competitive business infrastructure in the Western Cape. Waste management has been defined as one of their focus areas given firstly the challenges faced by many municipalities, particularly with decision making for waste management, and secondly the potential resource value associated with waste. Green Cape requested technical assistance from the Netherlands government for:1.	Technical mentorship for the steering group of the Green Cape Waste Economy Project.2.	Attendance and presentations of experts from the Netherlands at project related workshops.3.	Training of municipal managers in waste management planning. 4.	Study visits to the Netherlands for researchers and government officials. Through Green Cape’s engagement with industry, academia and local authorities in the waste-to-energy working group, it has become evident that local authorities require more support in the waste management arena. A given example is the problem that waste officials often feel overwhelmed by the information received from the private sector about different technologies presented, and do not necessarily have the skills to assess suitability, costs and risks attached.The Waste Economy project has been developed to support the development of the waste economy in the province and to support smaller municipalities in the Western Cape planning to upgrade their waste management facilities, and/or integrate waste-to-energy technologies.Rijkswaterstaat has been commissioned to carry out this project.

FLAG – Flooding and Groundwater (Pilot CVC Cauca) The role of groundwater in flooding in Colombia and tools for its management: Pilot Project in the Valle del Cauca. This project conducted by Deltares and Unesco IHE in cooperation with Fugro, Eijkelkamp and CVC Cauca will provide best practice guidelines to study the interaction between groundwater and surface water that can be further applied in other areas of Colombia, and for which Dutch companies can provide support, technology and advisory products. Groundwater in Colombia has become a topic of national interest. Different public authorities such as the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Mining and Energy via the Geological Survey, the National  Institute for Hydrology and Environment , and the regional corporations are working on several initiatives for a sustainable groundwater management. These initiatives include the development of policies, plans, courses and databases. Naturally, groundwater has always been a concern for these entities because it is key resource in many areas. However, in recent years specialists have pointed out that in some regions the mismanagement of lack of understanding of the groundwater has been one of the limitations for economic and social development of the region. Recognition of these limitations has triggered the desire to develop a more sustainable approach to managing groundwater.
