The Netherlands - Sudan Agri Link Sudan has great potential in the area of arable fertile land, good climate and adequate water availability. Yet, there are severe food shortages and there is widespread food insecurity. Sudan is facing low productivity in agriculture. This has profound implications for the food supply and food security.The local government sector and producers are faced with a gap in knowledge and skills to get the crop efficiently to meet local demand.The Netherlands, however, is leading in terms of efficiency (output per hectare) in agriculture, and have the necessary knowledge and experience. A consortium of five Dutch companies will assist the Sudanese sector.
Horticulture training The horticulture sector in Zambia is steadily growing. Whilst several big commercial farmers are experiencing the benefits of land fertility and the increasing market, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the horticulture industry are often struggling to grow.This project aims to strengthen the knowledge of those horticultural entrepreneurs (SMEs) with the ambition and potential to expand and become commercially viable. The project will provide these ‘horticultural talents’ with customized training sessions for their businesses and introduce them to the appropriate technologies, starting materials, and business management-related skills.
Agribusiness innovation and sustainable entrepreneurship in South Africa (InnoGiyani) The private sector, specifically SPAR, the Manombe Cooperative Trust, and farmers are prepared to invest in production and marketing once innovative niche products are identified and entrepreneurship capacity is built among smallholder farms to become business partners. South Africa has a free-market system, but small farmers located far from urban centres face significant challenges due to the scale of their operations. The Giyani region, having the best soils and a tropical climate, is known for its difficult socio-economic and agro-hydrological conditions. To foster development in this region, innovative agri-business strategies are necessary, such as identifying niche products that can be grown profitably in these conditions. Building up the related capacity in innovating agri-business implies that the project cannot be commercial from scratch. Investing in a Public Private Partnership to establish an innovation facility will result in several benefits to facilitate sustainable entrepreneurship in the future. The project builds on a European Union Seventh Framework research programme to isolate primary innovations through a trans-disciplinary participatory process.
Sustainable Port Development Durban The Durban port is the main gateway for the South African economy. One of its many challenges is its environmental performance, and the resulting local resistance to the envisaged expansion. The aim of the project is:•	 ‘solving’ the current challenges in the port of Durban (as has been proven in the port of Sohar, United Arab Emirates), as well as providing a blueprint for an environmental management model for the dig-out port. •	 to introduce the concept of Sustainable Port Development (SPD) in the current port area of Durban, mitigating environmental problems with the use of Dutch technology.Vopak Durban has installed an innovative Dutch solution: electronic noses (e-noses) to monitor their environmental performance as well as improve its operations, that could be of benefit of the entire port area. Comon-invent is world leader of e-noses. The eThekwini Health Unit (eHU) – the regulatory body for the port of Durban – has expressed a clear interest to engage with DCMR Milieudienst Rijnmond to learn how to implement the concept of Sustainable Port Development into their standard practises. They would learn how to interpret the data generated from the e-noses to distinguish between a truly dangerous emission and one that is merely a nuisance.The proposed outcome of the project would be:•	MoU between DCMR Milieudienst Rijnmond, TNPA and EHU. •	Experts visits to perform a BAT (Best Available Tecnniques) gap analyses.•	Environmental Improvement Plan.•	Training in the interpretation of e-nose data.•	Study visit to the Netherlands.•	Reviewing the permitting cycle, and providing feedback for improvement.•	Expert visit on the management of tank farms.   DCMR Milieudienst Rijnmond has been commissioned to carry out this project.

DRR-Team Honduras (Scoping) 2023 The official request comes from Minister of Foreign Affairs of Honduras.The objective of the request is the preparation of a Management Plan with a focus on adaptation to climate change in the Basin of the Aguán River, which is located in the northern zone of Honduras and covers an area of 11,005 km2. This Basin Management Plan should include an ecosystem approach, aimed at improving the standard of living of the population in harmony with the existing natural resources. The purpose of this comprehensive action is to promote sustainable urban-rural planning and development to deal with climate change and strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related risks and natural disasters in municipal territories within the Aguán River Basin.Over the past few years, the Aguán Valley was hit very hard during hurricane Eta and Iota (2020) and the tropical storms and hurricanes that made landfall close to Honduras (2022). The entire basin is prone to floodings, as well as landslides as a result of soil saturation due to excess rainfall and the level of deforestation on high slopes. Climate change has made these events more frequent and more intense. Prevention is therefore back on the agenda.Keeping the upcoming hurricane and wet season in mind, Honduras is interested in sustainable management of existing natural resources in the basin to reduce risks and avoid costly damages to infrastructure, especially to the agriculture of the valley of Aguán. This valley is very important to the economy of Honduras, as it provides large-scale employment and also high value agricultural exports.
