Global Quality and Standards Programme South Africa, phase II: unlocking the export potential of essential and vegetable oils Since September 2018, the Global Quality Standards Programme (GQSP) has focused on strengthening the South African essential and vegetable oils value chain by leveraging the services of the enablers, which includes the National Quality Infrastructure (NQI), and strengthening conformity assessment services, supporting SME compliance to international standards and technical regulation and generally focus on promoting a culture of quality.  The aim was to facilitate sustainable, profitable, and competitive market access for SMEs within the essential and vegetable oils sector by strengthening the quality of essential and vegetable oils exports from South Africa. Whilst the focus was on South Africa, other SADC Member States also participated and benefitted from events, webinars, conferences and training.  The GQSP-SA Phase II project will intensify the support to develop the essential and vegetable oils value chain with new systems and technologies whilst building on the foundation and success of the GQSP-SA Phase I project. Phase II aims to further strengthen the South(ern) African essential and vegetable oils value chain to enable sustainable and competitive market access for Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs). Following a series of consultations with stakeholders, there was general agreement that the suppo
Sustainable energy systems for urban-industrial development South Africa´s high GHG emissions are caused by its heavy reliance on coal. The energy intensive industry sector is significantly contributing to increasing of GHG emissions. Fostering sustainable energy solutions in industrial activities is thus imperative for embarking on a pathway towards decarbonizing the economy. At the same time, due to challenges with integrated urban planning, municipalities in South Africa are expanding in a resource-intensive and inefficient manner. Here, industrial parks (IP) offer a significant potential of addressing the two problems above, by adopting sustainable energy concepts and contributing to the development of more sustainable municipalities.  This project's objective is to reduce GHG emissions and accelerate the decarbonization of industrial parks and other related environmental impacts, by addressing both energy supply and demand side, through an approach that considers the "urban-industrial-energy nexus".
