Kayonza Irrigation and Integrated Watershed Management Project (KWIIP2) Kayonza Irrigation and Integrated Watershed Management Project (KIIWP) is a project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) implemented under the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) through a Single Project Implementation Unit of IFAD Funded Projects (SPIU-IFAD). 

The goal of KIIWP is to “Contribute to poverty reduction in the drought-prone Eastern Province of Rwanda”. The Project Development Objective is to “Improve food security and incomes of at least 40,000 rural households on a sustainable basis and build their climate resilience.

The Project intervention area comprises nine drought-prone sectors of the twelve sectors in Kayonza District, namely Gahini, Kabare, Kabarondo, Murama, Murundi, Mwiri, Ndego, Ruramira and Rwinkwavu. The area has been selected on the basis of its high vulnerability to drought and high poverty and food insecurity levels. The National Strategic Food Reserve supported its population during past droughts. However, the area has a high untapped potential of water resources that, if fully mobilized, would significantly improve crop production, climate resilience, food security and nutrition. The Project will reach out to 40,000 rural households (180,000 members). Women will account for 50 percent of the beneficiaries, youth and young adults for 30 percent. The intended objective is that (i) 8,000 smallholder farmers in FFS received FaaB training, (ii) 500 FFS members and 50 Agriculture Cooperatives received business development coaching and have bankable business plans. Based on these business plans, the Project will co finance privately-

owned and managed investments of individual smallholders, cooperatives and/or private sector companies through a Performance-based Matching Grant Scheme.

To link farmers and cooperatives to markets using agribusiness linkages and public-private partnerships. Expected outputs will include: (i) 8,000 smallholders have improved access to markets, (ii) 10,000 smallholders have improved access to financial services. (iii) 2,500 smallholders use agricultural insurance products. In addition, the targeted groups would be given access to inclusive financial services, provided by local financial institutions. Finally, smallholders would be supported to access agriculture insurance products offered under the National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS). The nine targeted sectors account for 63,177 households or 283,370 individuals (72 per cent of the overall district’s population), of which 51.5 per cent are women2. In these sectors, 31 per cent of the households is headed by women. About 63 per cent3 of the resident population is under 25 years old while youth (between 16 and 30 years old) represent more than 30 per cent of the population in the Project intervention area. About 48 per cent of the population is covered by the Ubudehe4 governmental social protection programme: the Ubudehe Categories 1 and 2 account for respectively 13 per cent and 35 per cent of the population in the Project area.
Addressing urgent food needs in ISIS cleared and former Taliban held districts of Nangarhar Late 2020, the Humanitarian situation in Afghanistan rapidly declined. High levels of violence and conflict, natural disasters, high rates of poverty, and the COVID-19 pandemic, contributed to a worsening humanitarian and grave protection crisis, causing significant displacement and high multi-sector humanitarian needs across the country. The armed conflict, ongoing for more than 40 years, was exhausting coping mechanisms of the population, making them extremely vulnerable. At the start of 2021, according to HRP Afghanistan 2021, 18.4 million people (nearly half the population) are in need of humanitarian assistance and 17.6 million Afghans are acute food insecure1. 50% of the children under 5 years are acute malnourished (HRP). 
The already precarious humanitarian situation was aggravated by the US/NATO Troops withdrawal announced earlier in 2021, but confirmed by the Biden Administration in April 2021. The US/ NATO Troops withdrawal intensified the conflict between the Afghan government and Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) with fighting and displacement affecting nearly all provinces by July, causing loss of lives, further destruction and displacement by a rapidly advancing Taliban. From April until August, more than 670,000 people were displaced due to heavy fighting in the North (Kunduz), East (Nangarhar, Laghman) and South (Helmand & Kandahar) of the country. People were unable to tend to their fields and couldn’t harvest their crops, increasing food insecurity levels. Much to everybody’s surprise, the fighting came to an end on 15th August, when the former president of Afghanistan handed over Kabul peacefully to the Taliban to prevent further bloodshed. Recently the UN launched a new flash appeal, requesting an additional US$193M to cover the most urgent needs of 10 M Afghans until the end of the year, an increase of 2 M people. 
Additionally, in spring the previous government announced another drought2, likely to last 2 years and affecting food insecurity and food prices further. With most of the Afghans relying on agriculture, this is affecting their crops but also their income and live-stock, compounding the acute food insecurity. To contribute to improved food security of conflict affected people in Afghanistan. Provision of cash for food to 4,820 extremely vulnerable conflict affected people in IPC 3 or IPC 4. Selected beneficiaries will receive half food basket cash for food for 2 months based on FSAC standards (Euro 150 in local currency) in one instalment.
Hamdaniya: continuation of primary health care for OCHA funded Cordaid projects in the district of Hamdaniya with 2 different grants. The first project was 50-50 funded by OCHA and Memisa. It started in June 2017 and ended in August 2018. (113890). The 2nd project started April 2018 and was fully funded by OCHA. It targeted different health facilities. It ended mid-August.(200315). Cordaid contributed to rehabilitation, running costs, capacity building, protection activities and awareness raising of in total 6 health facilities. The objective was to give returnees (minorities) primary healthcare and to encourage return of IDPs through the availability of healthcare. This has worked very well as Albert realized when he visited the health facilities and busy and bustling villages in October 2018.
Community leaders, Directorate of Health (DoH) and OCHA asked Cordaid to continue support until end of December 2018. They asked it also from CEO Kees Zevenbergen last August. The Directorate of Health claims to be ready to support the health facilities all by itself in January 2019.
This short project will ensure:
-Proper handing over to DoH Ninawa which is on of Cordaid policies, and be sure that there will be continuation of the provision of health services. 
-To show to OCHA that Cordaid is committed to quality work therefore with its own funding will continue until the end of 2018. 
-At the moment Cordaid is talking to the Dutch MFA about a grant for Cordaid work for returnees. Having some projects will build a stronger case in dialogue with Dutch MFA on fundraising. The objective was to give returnees (minorities) primary healthcare and to encourage return of IDPs through the availability of healthcare. Returnees (minorities) and IDPs
Services Financiers et Techniques Intégrés pour l’Agriculture The risk of drought is critical and ubiquitous in Burkina Faso, given the variable climatic conditions of the Sahel and the majority of agri-culture in economic activity. According to the Permanent Agricul-tural Survey (EPA), drought affected more than 1 million people on average per year over the period 2004 - 2013 in Burkina Faso. The field study performed by the National Institute of Statistics and De-mography (INSD) revealed that 41% of households in the country are economically affected by rainfall variability annually. The country frequently experiences localised or generalised droughts that affect large regions and impacts agriculture production as well as livestock.
Such climate events are recurrent and of high economic severity in nature. They annihilate all development efforts from the populations and perpetually keep them from emerging over the poverty line. More than 40% of the population leave below the poverty line of less than $2 per day.
The non-availability of private or public welfare solutions to secure income in adverse circumstances perpetuates the poverty cycle and impedes the emergence of a middle class. The occurrence of a drought event can have a catastrophic effect on socio-economic de-velopment given that close to 90% of the labour force is active in the agriculture value chain. The main objectives of the project are to:
- Deploy an insurance solution that would serve as a catalyst for socio-economic development by reducing the vulnerability of smallholder farmers to risks and providing them the financial security to develop their activities,
- Improve access to capital for farmers by providing a risk trans-fer solution for MFIs to allocate more capital to the agriculture sector,
- Implement technical advisory services that will enable CSA prac-tices and improve the productivity and resilience of smallholder farmers. Smallholder farmers cultivating maize, millet, sorghum with field size lower than 5ha. The project targeting strategy will be oriented to vulnerable people, in particular women, youth and internal displaced people.

Projet la prise en charge du volet «violences basées sur le genre (VBG): prévention, sensibilisation et prise en charge communautaire La République centrafricaine traverse une crise complexe et profonde aux conséquences humanitaires et de protection graves depuis plusieurs années.  Ces conflits politico-militaires ont eu des conséquences dramatiques sur les populations en engendrant le déplacement massif des populations, la déstructuration de l’appareil étatique, des services sociaux de base et en mettant sous le contrôle des groupes armés plus de la moitié du territoire. On note aussi l’inaccessibilité aux services sociaux de base et l’impact socio-économique de la pandémie de la COVID-19 ont profondément érodé les capacités de survie physique et mentale de la population centrafricaine et causé une détérioration significative de leurs conditions de vie.  Dans ce contexte, les femmes et les filles sont davantage exposées et vulnérables au moment de ces déplacements (déplacés internes, réfugiés, communautés hôtes), tout particulièrement aux violences sexuelles et elles ne disposent aucun service de SR/VBG et de prévention de la Covid-19. Face à cette situation, le Gouvernement de la République centrafricaine a sollicité et obtenu un financement de l’Association Internationale de développement (IDA) pour financer le secteur de la santé au titre du projet d’appui et de Renforcement du système de Santé (SENI) et a recruté des ONGI pour la Prise en charge du volet Violence Basée sur le Genre pour la réalisation des activités de prévention, sensibilisation et prise en charge communautaire. Cordaid a été retenu pour implémenter le projet dans les districts sanitaires d’Alindao et de Nola. L’objectif de ce projet est de contribuer à la réduction des VBG en RCA.
Les objectifs spécifiques sont :
-	Assurer la prévention des VBG à travers la transformation des normes socio culturelles et des comportements pour le respect de l’égalité des sexes à travers la mobilisation des leaders communautaires, des organisations féminines et des SVBG comme acteurs de changement et relais d’information ; 
-	Assurer une prise en charge holistique des SVBG à travers les mécanismes de référencement communautaire, l’accompagnement psychosocial et la réinsertion socio-économique et scolaire des SVBG ;
-	Assurer une meilleure coordination et suivi des activités de VBG dans les zones du projet. Les bénéficiaires sont constitués des populations de  3 formations sanitaires du district sanitaire d'Alindao que sont: CS de Poudjio, CS de Pavika et CS de Kongho. Les bénéficiaires sont constitués des filles, garçons, hommes et femmes des 3 formations sanitaires qui couvrent environs 88 563 habitants
High Flyers - Tracking the Entrepreneurs The world in which young people operate their businesses is increasingly volatile and uncertain. The political and economic crisis in the past decades, and most recently the COVID 19 pandemic, has shown that small businesses, especially those led by women, youth, ethnic minorities, and migrants, have been hard hit the most. 
 
In lower-income countries such as Uganda, an average of 79% of small businesses reported a decrease in turnover2 (IFC data) and faced significant financial difficulties due to the economic impact of COVID-19.. In 2020, 50% of SMEs decreased their employment compared to 2019.3 
 
This situation has worsened unemployment rates and has particularly affected young people, especially those from developing countries. Due to the pandemic, youth employment dropped by 8.7% in 2020. The fall in employment was less severe for adults, registering at 3.7 %.4 This difference illustrates the pandemic’s economic consequences for younger people and the imperative work that needs to be done in terms of job creation. 
 
SMEs play a significant role in most economies, particularly in developing countries. According to the World Bank, they represent 90% of businesses and more than 50% of employment worldwide.5 Looking at building stronger economies beyond the pandemic, strengthening youth founded small businesses must be at the centre of the strategies. They are vital vehicles and important contributors to job creation, economic and social inclusion, and resilience in the face of uncertainty and conflict. The aim of the programme is to further understand what works when supporting High Flyers, especially underserved High Flyers. We will codify these learnings, enable ESOs to share in this knowledge and by institutionalising best practices across YBI. Therefore maximising the impact of High Flying entrepreneurs as they grow and scale their businesses, creating jobs and transforming communities. This programme will directly build the capacities of the four implementing members, CAPYEI in Kenya, Cordaid in Uganda, Corporación Minuto de Dios in Colombia and Enterprise Uganda in Uganda, improve the practices of 8 ESOs from YBI’s network and directly support a small group of High Flyers in 3 countries, Colombia, Kenya and Uganda.

High Flying entrepreneurs are defined as young people aged 18-35 who have been running a business for approximately 2 years with an annual average business revenue of US$2,000 – US$5,000. High Flyers come from diverse backgrounds and it is integral everyone is given the opportunity to grow and scale a business. The programme will support a range of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including women, migrants and people in rural areas.

Wash Food Security Livelihoods and Shelters in N. Uganda Since the outbreak of the conflict in South Sudan in December 2013, Uganda has experienced increasing numbers of refugees, especially in West Nile Region, the oldest refugee hosting district of northern Uganda since the 1970's. The recently completed verification exercise of all refugees in Uganda by OPM and UNHCR (October 2018), did not change the known trend: Over a million refugees are present in Uganda (1,091,024). The vast majority are South Sudanese (73%). New influx is still registered to date and very few returns are expected considering the highly fragile peace agreement in South Sudan. Uganda is the third largest refugee hosting country in the world.

Uganda has an exemplary and progressive refugee legislation. Uganda’s refugee legislation, the 2006 Refugees Act, promotes refugee self-reliance and favours a development-based approach to refugee assistance. This has been emphasized further by the 2010 Refugee Regulations. It is providing refugees with freedom of movement, the right to work and establish businesses, the right to documentation and access to national social services. The country pursues a non-camp settlement policy, by which refugees are allocated plots of land for shelter and agricultural production, stretching out over vast territories. Whilst providing the basis for refugee self-reliance in the longer term, the settlement approach typically incurs higher up-front costs than that of a camp environment, when basic life-saving provisions are to be established. 

Arua District has a (original host) population of 846,491 and a refugee population of 151,439, which is 15% of the total population of Arua District, as per UNHRC website. The proposed project will contribute towards: FSL: Strengthen the productive capacity of the population affected by the emergency in Imvepi Refugee settlement.

Impact Evaluation of RBF approach South Kivu There are two main research components: 1. Evaluating whether RBF of primary education yields better educational outcomes. To address this question, we compare student results (grade 6th test scores) in RBF and non-RBF schools. 2. Researching within an RBF program setting whether a stronger emphasis on the parent-school feedback loop further raises student achievement and school performance.
There are two main research components: 
1. Evaluating whether RBF of primary education yields better educational outcomes. To address this question, we compare student results (grade 6th test scores) in RBF and non-RBF schools. 
2. Researching within an RBF program setting whether a stronger emphasis on the parent-school feedback loop further raises student achievement and school performance. This research will help Cordaid to further improve its intervention aimed at better quality education, specifically in fragile countries.
The research has two main objectives:
1. Assess the impact of RBF on school achievements in the primary education sector in a fragile environment such as that in South Kivu, DRC.
2. Evaluate the effect of a strong parent-school feedback loop on student achievement, parent involvement and measures of school performance within the RBF intervention at existing RBF schools. The target beneficiaries are children in primary schools in school districts Shabunda 1 and Walungu 1, South Kivu, DRC. Current coverage of RBF in Shabunda 1 is 74 % (64 out of 87 primary schools), and in Walungu 1 it is 12 % (26 out of 226 primary schools). Cordaid invests in inclusive quality education to enable children, notably the most vulnerable ones and particularly girls, to become self-reliant, and to build up self-esteem.
National Verification Agency for PBF in Liberia In order to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of care at the secondary hospital level, the Government of Liberia is moving towards provider-accountability for improvements in quality through performance-based financing (PBF) at the hospital level.
For primary level healthcare facilities, the three hardest to reach/access counties will be directly contracted-in by the Ministry of Health to provide quality healthcare and manage service delivery within their respective counties for Health Systems Strengthening. Global experiences show that performance-based approaches can be effectively deployed to: (i) clearly signal health priorities and ensure that there is adequate focus on corresponding interventions; (ii) ensure that health facilities focus on delivering targeted and cost-effective health services; (iii) strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems; (iv) empower decision-makers in the field to set priorities and improve health facilities according to more local needs; (v) motivate staff to change behavior and improve performance; and (vi) increase provider autonomy and enhance accountability for better results.
Additionally, under the additional financing with Grant from the Global Financing Facility (GFF) the Performance-based Financing (PBF) scheme is being scaled-up to primary health facilities within three counties: Rivercess, Gbarpolu and Sinoe. Direct Beneficiaries are the Primary and Secondary Healthcare Facilities and Ministry of Health. Indirect beneficiaries are the users in the communities that come to these facilities

Direct: 67 Primary Healthcare Facilities, 6 Secondary Healthcare Facilities, 154 Ministry of Health Liberia Staff (2 staff per facility and 8 at central office)

Indirect: At least 500K according to population statistics
PRISM - Access to finance for resilient and inclusive small livestock markets PRISM (Partnership for Resilient and Inclusive Small livestock Market) is a project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) implemented under the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) through the Single Project Implementation Unit of IFAD1 Funded Projects (SPIU-IFAD).   
At production level, IFAD-supported interventions will target primarily smallholder livestock holdings and vulnerable households, while ENABEL will engage and support larger scale commercial and industrial actors. In terms of value chains, IFAD-supported interventions will target mainly the small ruminants, backyard pig and backyard chicken value chains, that correspond to its priority target groups, when ENABEL will concentrate on pig and poultry commercial value chains. 
Cordaid will be responsible for the access to finance component by providing capacity building for interested financial institutions aiming at raising their appetite for small livestock value chains and supporting them to design or refine affordable, appropriate products and delivery channels for different categories of beneficiaries. It will include presentation of value chains mapping and analysis with focus on financial needs, risks and mitigation strategies, recommended product features and delivery channels. The overall objective of the project is to reduce poverty by empowering poor rural men, women, and youth to participate in the transformation of the Rwanda livestock sector and to enhance their resilience. Specifically, the project seeks to increase competitiveness and profitability of the small livestock sector for the provision of quality products from smallholder producers to domestic and regional consumers. 800 the small ruminants, backyard pig and backyard chicken value chains
