Gold sourcing companies in Europe commit to and implement responsible sourcing practices for ASM gold and invest in the development of a responsible ASM sector.
Partnerships with other CSO?s and networks advocating for improvements in the ASM sector regarding decent work, fair value distribution and sustainable natural resources management
Public sector adopts and implements regulatory frameworks that are ASM inclusive and address decent work, fair value distribution and sustainable natural resources management in international supply chains for gold
RECLAIM Sustainability! Ethiopia-Cotton & Textiles This project aims to contribute to a responsible, inclusive, and climate smart global cotton and textiles value chain, in which smallholder cotton farmers and garment workers benefit from decent work, earn a living income, get a fairer value in the chain, and ecosystems are protected, by advocating for the adoption and implementation of voluntary and mandatory local and global standards.
Pathways to Prosperity - Zambia In this programme we work on institutionalizing "Kvuno", a decentralised digital service model that lowers the cost of providing last-mile services such as access to certified seed, soil analysis, post harvest services and market connections for smallholder cotton farmers in Zambia. "Kvuno" utilises a range of digital tools to develop smart farming service packages, integrating innovative and low-cost deployment strategies, leveraging youth and community networks, and aggregating and ethically monetizing data. Through the interventions of the programme we link small scale producers to input and service providers and markets. Farmers are supported to comply with market requirements through partnerships with other civil society organisations. In addition, we support livestock rangers to boost production and yields by providing direct support and climate-smart agricultural practices and post-harvesting techniques through creating value addition and creating a stronger extension network in leather processing. We introduce and support the adoption of sustainable livestock practices including good health practices and selective breeding, improved pasture management, enhanced carbon sequestration in grazing areas and other areas. The programme also boosts the capacity of service providers.
RECLAIM Sustainability! Kenya-  Food products This project aims to contribute to sustainable, inclusive and safe local food value chains in Africa, in which producers, the majority being women, receive a fair value for their produce, work under legal and safe conditions, and have improved access and control over land and other productive resources, by advocating for new and stronger public regulatory frameworks, subsidy schemes and extension systems to support implementation of GAP, create markets for safe and local toxic free food, and developing and rolling out a new farmer-to-market model.
Pathways to Prosperity - Ghana In this programme we focus on supporting the adoption of sustainable practices and ecosystem management in farming and processing for cocoa and oil palm farmers as well as gold miners as they require far and equal access to relevant technology, inputs, services as well as formalisation and certification support. Our main efforts in this programme are dedicated to developing a service delivery structure that promotes producers access to inputs, services, technology, and markets. We support (young) entrepreneurs to develop a business in service delivery and strengthen capacities of existing service providers to provide better and more inclusive services. This includes developing IT-based platforms to link smallholder farmers who demand services to providers of various services. Additionally this programme supports farmers to gain and maintain access to market information and focus on creating stronger local market opportunities by providing local processing facilities.
This project aims to contribute to a responsible and inclusive global tea value chain that ensures value is distributed fairly, smallholder tea farmers and workers benefit from decent working conditions, and tea is produced with respect to the environment. This project promotes a Shared-Value model between ASM/LSM, as a mechanism to improve working conditions for Artisanal Small Scale Gold Miners, their mining practices, and to progress towards their formalization. In 2021, we supported 735 small scale miners, and improved working conditions for 269 workers through better access to social security, reduced exposure to mercury, and improved health and safety conditions.
Improving Production&Market Capacity of Smallholder Fruit&Vegetable Farmers in Southern Africa The Horticulture project in Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, aims to support local food systems by combining production of different fruits and vegetables, crop rotation and restored and improved soil fertility. By the end of 2021, we have supported 11,598 producers and 4,646 producers have increased earnings from accessing a wider range of markets, as well as high value markets. In addition, the producers have reduced their production costs.
Scaling CSA through investment in resilience of coffee production The CSA Coffee Lab is a comprehensive technical support package for smallholding coffee farmers to produce in a Climate Smart manner, developed over the course of 2016-2020. New partnerships to replicate the model across the region have been signed with Mercon/Illy in Nicaragua and with Volcafe / Molinos de Honduras in Honduras, and we continued negotiations with Louis Dreyfus Company, Exportadora Café California and Nestlé in Mexico to adopt the CSA package for their supply chains of small producers in 2022. These negotiations have been delayed due to the internal bureaucracy of these companies and in some cases due to the lack of engagement of their management in sustainability.
189 smallholders implemented the package in 2021, and experienced 58% higher yields compared to the average. We are confident to upscale the model through our new partnerships over the course of 2022.

coordination and day-to-day fund management on behalf of the consortium and according to the strategic direction provided by the PSC. The PCU also ensures that the overall programme is implemented according to the strategic direction agreed upon with MoFA for funding civil society organisations under the Power of Voices Partnerships, and its Directorate Sustainable
Economic Development (DDE).
The PCU is responsible for coordinating the programme cycle of the consortium. PCU forms
the bridge between the consortium partners, the lead applicant, and the PSC.
RECLAIM Sustainability! Ivory Coast-Cocoa This project aims to contribute to a sustainable and inclusive global cocoa value chain, in which producers received a fair value for their produce and work under safe conditions, without the use of child labour, and land rights and forests are protected.
Pathways to Prosperity - Bangladesh This programme addresses one of the major challenges in Bangladesh which is a weak production system; namely the lower yields at the tea and oil seed farm level and low quality of products and productivity at the leather and textile medium and small scale enterprise level. This includes addressing that the existing supply chain in oil seed and the tea sector are riddled with economic and social inequality and high usage of chemicals to increase yield, which pose threats to environmental security. The textile industries are yet to adhere to production processes that reduce environmental degradation. This interventions of this programme address this lack of availability of quality seeds, climate resilient variaties of seeds and other inputs and knowledge among service providers. Lastly the programme supports farmers, workers and medium and small scale enterprises for the adoption of sustainable and gender inclusive agricultural and industrial practices.
RECLAIM Sustainability! Zambia-Fresh Food This project aims to contribute to sustainable, inclusive and safe local food value chains in Africa, in which producers, the majority being women, receive a fair value for their produce, work under legal and safe conditions, and have improved access and control over land and other productive resources, by advocating for new and stronger public regulatory frameworks, subsidy schemes and extension systems to support implementation of GAP, create markets for safe and local toxic free food, and co-designing and testing various disruptive models.
China Footprint Programme In 2021, the Covid-19 related measures with severe travel restrictions hampered our activities in China considerably. The discontinued cooperation with NORAD further complicated our work on international trade of sustainable produce. Having partnered in developing the China Sustainable Soy Guidelines improved the relationship and dialogue with COFCO, China's biggest soy trader. COFCO adopted a 'free of deforestation' pledge, which resulted in 11,100 tons of deforestation-free imports from Brazil. Complex US-China trade relations induced a changing Chinese policy towards increased local production of soy, increasing the pressure on the national producers. Solidaridad is working with national partners to adopt the guidelines for Chinese producers. After the ban by the BCI of Xiang cotton Solidaridad managed to sign an MOU with the China National Textile and Apparel Council to develop a national sustainability framework for cotton. 5,398 cotton smallholder farmers, of which around 800 women, were trained in good practices in the province of Gansu, covering 3,852 hectares. Over 3,000 cotton farmers used the Mianbao (Cotton Farmer Treasure) application developed by Solidaridad, which supports online training in sustainable cotton production. In dialogue with seven factories, we contributed to improving the wage matrix of 2,175 workers. Lastly, we continued to engage with the Chinese national business Associations for soy and tea. We expect to achieve greater scale once the implementation of the sustainability standards accelerates.
RECLAIM Sustainability! Honduras-Palm Oil This project aims to Build an inclusive model to achieve decent work conditions based on evidence, increase the knowledge and implementation capacity of producers, workers, the private and public sectors, to achieve decent working conditions for workers in the palm oil sector and Strengthen the capacity of Civil Society Organizations to promote decent work in the palm oil sector.
RS! Global Linking & Learning REC LATAM The core underlying principle of the learning agenda is to identify solutions that can bring about systemic change across the supply chains where we work, looking at the roles that the private sector, the public sector and civic society need to play to generate impact on core strategic areas of Decent Work, Climate & Natural Resource Management, Fair Value Distribution and Sustainable Consumption.  

Five thematic learning teams, each with a thematic learning and innovation plan, agenda, and sufficient resources conduct research, gather evidence from the field, engage with experts from several local members of the RSC and partners, and learn together around the core issues in relation to the above themes in the value chain.
RECLAIM Sustainability! Kenya- Coffee This project aims at improving the position of coffee farmers and workers in the country by promoting an innovative and inclusive private sector that sources and trades coffee transparently and responsibly. The project will contribute to an enhanced regulatory framework for coffee actors in Kenya that supports effective, transparent, inclusive and sustainable trade and support increased implementation and monitoring of recommended policies and mechanisms that support inclusive and sustainable trade by a strong and vibrant civil society.
GP&RI-Soy (Land, Agriculture,Water in Asia)-Bangladesh 75,700 soy farmers and their 22,900 workers in India and Bangladesh were trained in good soil management practices, bringing 91,800 hectares under sustainable management. In 2021, we organized an awareness and training programme to improve general nutritional awareness. 8,400 women, organized in 64 groups (“Nutri-Sakhi”), were supported to establish home gardens and improve diets. The women-owned Rakshika Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) was set up, collectivising around 2,000 women from 30 villages.
Develop a collaborative and cost-effective technical assist model In Brazil, we work together with companies and farmer associations to fine tune and strengthen technical service provision models to better fit the farmers’ needs, and to make their Technical Assistance more effective. 5 digital tools are currently in use, they have optimized the time to provide technical assistance services, promoting greater integration and speed in filling in data reports, and freeing up time for technicians to carry out visits, increasing associations’ coverage. Improved extension provision models have allowed better access to knowledge and support for 11,410 farmers in the country, with a coverage of 481,071 hectares under sustainable management practices.

Activate European target groups Communications and campaigns facilitate a stronger brand, easier access to funding and partnerships, and a good basis to influence corporate policies, all needed to increase the implementation and scale of sustainable practices. Effective relationships with corporate partners are crucial to our mission of achieving sustainable economies. We use communications and campaigns to raise awareness about our solutions for a more sustainable and inclusive economy. This helps us to create behavioural change, speeding up the adoption of good practices throughout the entire supply chain, from consumer to production companies.
Global Expertise Teams - Market Uptake The Global Expertise Teams (GETs) are cross-regional teams that focus on knowledge development  and the linking and learning throughout the network for the four different intervention levels: Good Practices, Supportive Business Ecosystems, Enabling Policy Environment and Market Uptake. They are supported by communities of practitioners organized around commodity value chains like palm oil or or coffee and thematic issues like labour or fair value distribution. This structure is network-wide and goes beyond the specific programmes. 
The GET on Market Uptake worked with Acumen on the success factors of cooperating with global brands. In collaboration with the Candian company Decision Lab, this GET team implemented an (unpublished) research on farmer rewards for change. With the NGO IMPACT, the GET MU supported the design and development of Solidaridad?s global digital solutions for market actors Ping! and Esawa.
Corporate Engagement activities in Europe The purpose of our Corporate Engagement strategy under Practice for Change is to develop and strengthen private partnerships. We primarily target companies in Europe, where some of the world's largest agricultural trading, service and manufacturing companies, as well as some of the world's largest retailers, financial institutions and ICT companies are based. Solidaridad aims to be recognized by corporate partners and internal stakeholders for proactive and meaningful corporate engagement that is truly impactful and beneficial for all. Together with private sector partners, we develop and test comprehensive, innovative market-oriented solutions. We want to embed sustainability in companies' internal thinking and way of doing business.

Pathways to Prosperity - Tanzania This programme addresses the issues of low productivity, informality, weak institutional capacity, outdated equipment and inadequate access to inclusive service delivery and market connection systems, leading to limited income and economic growth opportunities, in the coffee and gold mining sectors in Tanzania. Through the interventions in this programme we support small-scall coffee farmers and artisanal and small-scale gold miners in providing safe working conditions, promoting sustainable practices, achieving increased productivity and improving access of women, youth and other marginalised groups to inclusive service delivery and market connection systems, including carbon markets.
Brand Awareness, supported by clear positioning In 2021 our TV commercial was broadcasted 16 times on Dutch public TV through our partnership with Goede Doelen Nederland/Socutera. We introduced a competition in the Netherlands that invited Dutch people to think about catchy slogans around the sustainable consumption of coffee, chocolate, fashion etc. We raised attention for the competition by taping bananas to posters that were distributed over the cities of Utrecht and The Hague. 
In terms of reach/impressions, we have grown significantly on YouTube: impression increased 63% and click-through rate 38%. This is in line with a general trend we see: videos become increasingly popular as a communication tool. LinkedIn remains a key platform for Solidaridad to engage with business audiences. In 2021, we also launched our new global website.
RECLAIM Sustainability! Europe-Cocoa This project aims to contribute to a sustainable and inclusive global cocoa value chain, in which European companies work towards living income for cocoa farmers and the end of child labour in cocoa fields, and embrace transparency.
NI-SCOPS Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning REC Europe has supported the other RECs with fundraising activities in the public and private sectors. For Corporate Engagement, it is expected that financial commitments will be signed in 2022. When it comes to public donors, engagement and an event around and during the COP26 in Glasgow is expected to lead to opportunities in 2022. The PMEL process has been heavily supported from REC Europe also, helping for example with reviewing the proposed methodologies. Lastly, regular engagement with the current public sector donor (the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs) was done satisfactorily.
Pathways to Prosperity - Linking and Learning Latin America This project is part of our broader programmatic Linking and Learning strategy in the Pathways to Prosperity programme, specifically supporting the region.
The project has two main objectives:
1. To assess the impact of the EUDR on the smallholder coffee sectors in Mesoamerica and co-develop solutions to support the sector to comply with the regulation towards a more sustainable and traceable coffee sector.   
2.  Conducting a financial cost-benefit analysis of the existing Payment for ecosystem services models (ACORN projects)  to provide recommendations and identify opportunities for cost efficiencies to increase the value proposition of Solidaridad-led ACORN projects in Latin America.
The insights gained will contribute to scale mechanisms that support smallholder farmers to meet market requirements and access sustainable markets. Also, will contribute to allow buyers to get sustainable and inclusive products and pay for ecosystem services.
GP&R-Trinitea (Land, Agriculture,Water- Asia) Trinitea is a partnership with the Indian Tea Board, the National Government, tea associations, tea packers and producers to address the challenges faced by the small tea growers in India. The programme, which started in 2019, managed to reach out to 72,018 small tea-growing families, or 34% of the total number of smallholder tea growers in India in 2021. In 2021, on-location training was limited by the Covid-19 pandemic imposed restrictions. We were able to continue to reach 55,000 tea growers remotely, via WhatsApp messages, monthly bulletins and videos.
