Pilot planning-cum-demonstration system to produce biogas from vegetable market waste to supply cooking fuel to slum families The project aims to find solutions to reduce the metropolitan slums environmental health problems and to develop local renewable energy technologies to meet the need of specially cooking energy.The project's target areas are located in slum areas in West D
elhi (Mahavir Enclave Plam-Dabri Road) and North Delhi (Timarpur) where poor families are living in temporary houses. In this project planning phase the information about the project target areas and their inhabitants are collected for making a more detail
ed plan for the next project phases. The planning is implemented in cooperation with local residents. The target groups are women and young people which are tried to find new income opportunities in the field of sustainable development.The project employs 
one person from each organization. Vigyan Vijay Foundation (VVF) working in West Delhi slum and Innovative Institute for Development and Education of All (IIDEA) North Delhi slum. Each organization is well connected with the residents of those areas. Organ
isations project personnel will collect information on environmental health problems and are connected with target groups to motivate them to actively participate the project.The Integrated Sustainable Energy and Ecological Development Association (INSEDA)
 which is also the main local partner is responsible for the environmental technical expertise of the project. In addition the applicant organization ASDA Finnish Association is involved in the project data collection analysing the results planning ot the 
next phases and monitoring.The main technical challenge in this phase is to develop a demonstration and test unit of mobile  biogas plant which processes organic waste from vegetable markets and produces gas for the local residents. This is a new innovatio
n. It is important that the biogas plant is movable because the space for there is not space for the permanent solutions. Slums are located next to the vegetable markets. The markets generate a huge amount of organic waste that is landfilled and produce la
rge amounts of methane. When handling waste biogas power plant the slurry will be dried and biogas compressed to cylinders which local residents can take advantage as cooking gas.The project also employes part-time doctor who discuss with the target groups
 on environmental health problems and offer them possibility for health advices and consultations for example once a week in the both project areas.

Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Egypt The proposed project aims to demonstrate sustainable models for fostering responsible entrepreneurship education and job skills training as tools to providing economic opportunities to poor and marginalized community members. It will focus mainly on women 
and youth inclusion in local economies within the governorate of New Valley.The New Valley governorate has in total three fertile oases but agricultural activities are very underdeveloped in the whole region as small-scale farmers lack know how and access 
to finance and markets.   The governorate is known for its high unemployment rate and thus for its high migration rates of young men to the Nile delta and big cities to find jobs.Hence the project aims to build on the business and marketing capacity of sma
ll self-employed farmers and artisans enhancing a market driven value chain approach through adopting a coupling strategy to bond vocational training opportunities with business development in 4 vocations (organic agriculture methods and organic products s
pecialization organic composting dairy production carpet weaving and grid manufacturing). The project approach is based on establishing strong long-term sustainability and thus incorporates within its goals actions that underpin managerial technical financ
ial and social sustainability while providing the labor force with the necessary tools to advocate to the local government. To ensure sustainability beyond the lifetime of the Finnish-funded project the project has been done in cooperation with the local C
DAs which will be called upon to answer to the issues addressed by the farmer and artisan community members and with information sharing and collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and local governments.
