Knowledge Infrastructure for Food Systems in North Sumatra Food security is one of the national development priorities of Indonesia. Hence, the national government supports food production by developing Food Systems in specified strategic areas, among which is the Humbahas Food Estate regency in North Sumatra. The Dutch Government as well as private sector initiatives are interested to support these efforts, which include a knowledge-education component. Within the nexus of agrifood abd water and along the lines of the Dutch economic mission to the Food Estate area in North Sumatra (which took place in May 2022), the Netherlands – as a leading country in the agriculture sector – will bring in Dutch expertise to support local needs and to strengthen the learning system. The sustainability of food systems is also related to Climate Adaptation and the establishment of a Circular Agriculture. By means of Living Lab Sustainable Food Systems, as an innovative instrument to support business development in the Humbahas Food Estate regency and to become a sustainable food system, agricultural companies will be invited to submit a business case. These business cases (covering topics, such as circrcular agriculture, agricultural waste, agricultural storage and warehousing, commercial farming, and agritourism) will form the foundation for (digital) student projects executed by groups of students from Indonesia and the Netherlands.

Sport for Development I (2020-2023) The Sport for Development programme (2020-2023) promotes a world in which young children and young people actively contribute to vital communities through sport and play.A vital community is an inclusive community in which people – children and youth included – actively participate and take care of themselves and each other with the support of actors, such as the government and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). In this way, a dynamic network is created that promotes positive change.A vital community recognises the key role of young people as agents of change and benefits from it. Within the Sport for Development programme, sport is used as a means to effectively contribute to the vital character of a community.
Support to the Mekong Delta Conference 2019 The Mekong Delta is critical for the development of Vietnam and also for regional food security; the Delta produces 50% of Vietnam’s rice (90% for export) and 70% of its aquaculture products. Over the last decade or so, a number of natural and anthropogenic changes are placing significant development pressures on the Mekong Delta. Furthermore, climate change is expected to further threaten lives, livelihoods and assets in the Mekong Delta. Coastal populations in the Mekong Delta have been identified as being especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including sea-level rise and the projected increase in tropical cyclones intensity. Rice yields in the Mekong Delta are expected to decline from 6–12 percent due to resulting inundation and salinity intrusion, while aquaculture production will also be affected.The Government of Vietnam recognizes the threats and has started to develop a more holistic vision to manage the current and future risks and opportunities in the Delta. It works with the World Bank and several bilateral partners on an integrated long-term and sustainable development. Such an approach cuts across different sectors and institutional levels with the overall objective to identify and prioritize “low regret” climate resilient infrastructure and non-structural measures for the Mekong Delta, and to build regional and provincial-level planning capacity for making integrated and resilient decisions. As part of this process further incorporating stakeholder engagement on climate resilient investments screening and planning processes is essential. To fill this gap, the World Bank together with several bilateral donors organized a (second) Mekong Delta Conference (MDC) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The MDC drew between 500-800 participants from provincial governments, national government, DPs, academia, CSOs as well as private sector. It consisted of interactive progress reporting with presentations, panels and group discussions to give voice to provincial departments. It also aimed to facilitate discussions solutions and climate resilient investments (information, institution and infrastructure), Delta development objectives, and trade-offs across the transport, agriculture and water sectors.This project is conducted in cooperation with: Government of Vietnam and the World Bank Vietnam.
Boost Industrial Productivity with MAP concept and Intelligent Glasses The aim of this project is to boost industrial productivity with the introduction of intelligent glasses technology and methodology for vocational training for the manufacturing industry in South Africa under the MAP (Manufacturing Accelerator Programme). This technology has been introduced by the Dutch company ISAH International B.V. together with the local partners Rifle-Shot Performance Holdings and Productivity SA. The MAP Programme is to address South Africa’s challenges within its industries to improve its competitiveness.ISAH is specialised in the supplying industry (1st, 2nd and 3rd tier suppliers). Introduction of ISAH software can potentially turn-around the productivity development of many SA manufacturers. The South African industry will have to adapt new technologies and enhance the skills levels of its labour force in order to face foreign competition. The short-term goal is to test the concept in 2 to 3 manufacturing companies. The long-term goal of the project is to help addressing this issue.

FoodTechAfrica: Sustainable aquaculture best practices in Tanzania The aquaculture sector in Tanzania has great potential. This is due to the growing demand for locally produced fish, the growth of the population and the swiftly declining local supply from wild catch. These combined factors have been driving up fish prices and increasing fish imports.However, the aquaculture sector has not unlocked its potential as it lacks proven examples, best practices, practical knowledge and skills, technology and quality inputs.This impact cluster intends to solve these challenges by demonstrating a highly efficient, land-based fish farm system in a nucleus demonstration setting (“the aquahub”).This impact cluster will be the nucleus where expertise and best practices come together. By demonstrating the RAS methodology, the cluster aims to show the business case to Tanzanian entrepreneurs that may operate aquaculture as a business and trigger investment and development of the sector.In addition, the project includes an extensive training programme for farm staff and extension officers, which will provide training and demonstration activities to further develop the sector.

Institutionalising Enterprise Education in Teacher Training Colleges of Tanzania This project aims to improve and institutionalise the Enterprise Education in Teacher Training Colleges of Tanzania. This project should ultimately benefit primary and secondary school pupils, who should acquire adequate competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) from the Enterprising Teaching Methods curriculum to enable them to function successfully as learners, job seekers, employees and self-employed persons.Tanzania still suffers from a shortage of employment opportunities. The number of decent jobs in Tanzania is small concerning the size of the adult population and the annual flow of graduates from various educational institutions. School leavers have to compete with graduates in the small and informal sectors of the economy. Even so, employers complain of job seekers’ deficiencies in basic employment skills. School education provides the government with the broadest field of opportunity to serve the whole population with policies concerning life-enhancing personal development.However, the aquaculture sector has not unlocked its full potential, as government officials often lack proven examples, best practices, practical knowledge and skills. This project introduces Tanzanian policymakers to successful aquaculture (RAS) activities as undertaken by Dutch and local businesses in Kenya. The delegation will become dedicated ambassadors for aquacultural development, strengthening collaboration between Tanzania and the Netherlands.
