Food and Future in Sri Lanka The aim of the feasibility study is to investigate the feasibility of a dairyfarm and dairy training project in the Northern Region (Jaffna) of Sri Lanka. The North of Sri Lanka has predominantly a Tamil population. This region has been badly damaged by the Tamil war and is slowly trying to rebuild itself. There is a great need for socio-economic infrastructure and employment, especially in rural areas. There are plans to set up agricultural food projects in combination with practical training in order to increase the employment and knowledge level of the rural population.The Vanni Development Forum (NGO) approached the consortium through its contacts in the Netherlands to support this development. A local construction company, Hari Engineering, is prepared to realize and exploit such a project for its own account. He seeks cooperation with Dutch companies and institutes for the necessary knowledge and technology. The subject of the study will be the feasibility of a dairy farm with 125 cows, the technical layout in the prevailing climate, the market for milk and milk products, the forage harvesting and preservation, milk processing, transport and cooling, type of cows, the problems surrounding the marketing of male animals with respect to the Buddhist philosophy of life, the prevention of Lactose intolerance by production of special so-called A2 milk.As a second component, the feasibility and design of a Dairy Training Center will be investigated. This DTC must be self-supporting so that continuity is guaranteed at all times. In the past, this element has been shown to be of vital importance. Previous attempts from the Netherlands (80s) have not been successful as a result. The uniqueness of this concept is the practical design, the relatively low investment and the fact that the training facility is directly linked to a practical company.Furthermore, cooperation and connection will be examined with the local educational institutions as well as institutions in the Netherlands, such as Wellant college, Dairy campus. Finally, the financial feasibility, the total investment and ROI, ROE and cash flow will be investigated. The starting point is that the local partner will at least cover the local part of the investment. If possible, export financing will be attracted for the import part.Through this set-up, the project will teach the local farm families how to manage an efficient dairy farm and to acquire a family income on a relatively small farm farm. This will greatly improve employment and family income in rural areas. The study aims to demonstrate and substantiate this.The final result of the study must be that a basis is created for healthy rural development in which the local population can work and obtain an adequate income. The project also fits in with government policy to become self-sufficient in dairy production in the medium term.

Containerized milk processing utilizing the bag in box packaging system as a retail option for marketing milk in Uganda Scherjon has developed a small mobile factory (the size of a sea container) that contains a pasteurization installation and a packaging installation. These installations can pasteurize small quantities of milk and pack them in small (20 liters) boxes, whereby the milk remains affordable for low incomes. With this bag in box principle, better quality milk can be delivered: milk traders can deliver milk for a small fee and have it pasteurized and then continue to sell through the existing channels, without endangering their (thousands of) jobs. They also operate in a manner that is required by DDA (Government Dairy Development Authority).To prove that the technology is effective throughout the entire chain and to convince the parties involved of the importance of pasteurized milk (market acceptance), they want to demonstrate this technology. The demonstration will prove, to the entire chain (and the government), the benefits of pasteurizing milk on a small scale. Farmers and milk traders will only use the system if they see the added value of pasteurized milk.

PPP for increased access to sustainable water services in Rwanda Scarcity of water treatment systems and insufficient water quality in rural areas are well known problems in Rwanda leading to low labour productivity, impeded economic growth and (worst case) mortality. The project will contribute to rehabilitate existing water infrastructural facilities and improve water supply access both in urban (Kigali) and peri-urban cities (close to Kigali) as well as enable extension of rural water supply systems. Technical Assistance during this project will effectively lead to lower Non Revenue Water (NRW, due to physical loss and non-payment) of partner EWSA in the capital city of Kigali, improved Operation and Maintenance capacity at the Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority (EWSA) which in turn can be used for training of water professionals at District Level and the installation of more water kiosks points in rural areas by partner FEPEA. Special attention in the project will be given to improve the capacity of care takers/community villages and contractors in the Operation and Maintenance of rural water infrastructural systems. To sustain the improved NRW and Operation and Maintenance capacity at EWSA and its ability to let FEPEA render services to the Districts in future an internal training centre for technical staff will be established at EWSA.
Renewable Energy visit Côte d’Ivoire intends to double its current capacity from 2,000 MW to 4,000 MW by 2020. Some hydropower & thermal projects have already been identified and invested in, but many renewable energy opportunities remain unexplored.

Aquasense Next Generation Sensors B.V. is a technology company focused on the development and the commercialization of the Handheld Molecular Contaminant Screener (HMCS). This product aims to enhance food safety and reduce food waste during the food processing process. NG Sensors applied its proprietary mass spectrometer (MS)-based technology to develop the HMCS, a portable and user-friendly device to assess a wide range of parameters, on-site (at the source) and in real-time (without time delay) that can affect the water quality in aquaculture. The devices will be installed and demonstrated on-site at ponds for the entire shrimp culture cycle in Andhra Pradesh which ranks the highest in terms of shrimp cultivation and second highest in India in terms of the estimated brackish water area suitable for Aquaculture. The HMCS will also be demonstrated at a processing facility in Kerala to show that it is a valuable instrument to improve quality control and food safety in the processing facilities. Contamination assessment with HMCS is cost-effective and timesaving compared to current lab-based testing. Subsequently, HMCS enables faster detection of parameters and contaminations and therefore the fisheries can take pro-active action to reduce down the food waste while improving food safety along with a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions by food and feed companies.
