MAPs Project: Implementing the NTIS in the Sector of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) The project will assist stakeholders in the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) value chain from the private sector, including business service providers, as well as from relevant government entities in the implementation of the action plan as derived from the NTIS. This assistance will be given in the form of training, workshops, technical assistance and advice. To ensure tangible results the project will work with associations and federations that are capable of implementing these activities and that have been engaged in respective activities in the past. Among other activities, the project will upgrade the MAPs value chain by introducing new marketing strategies, such as organic certification, trademarks or geographical indications, and by qualifying local producers to deliver on the respective requirements.

Promotion of Smallholder Farmer Linkages to Agro-Processors through the anchor farm model project The overall project goal is to reduce poverty, on- and off-farm employment creation, and increase agro-processed products for both domestic and export markets, especially among women and youth (contributing towards MGDS II KPA no. 2; Trade and agro-processing goals). More specifically, the project purposes to support implementation of the Malawi National Export Strategy (NES) to increase competitiveness of the Malawian value-added products (especially oil seed products) for exports through agro-processing special economic zones to the Nacala corridor and SADC/COMESA markets and strengthening oil-seeds smallholder farmers (SHFs) linkage to anchor farmers and agro-processors.
Strengthening National Quality Infrastructure and Industrial Statistics in the Lao PDR The proposed project has two components: Component A addresses market access issues for the private sector through providing better access to certification and testing services. As these services are presently carried out abroad, mainly in Thailand and Vietnam, for Lao traders these services are expensive, time-consuming, and require lots of logistical efforts. This puts Lao traders at a disadvantage and harms the private sector in tapping into new markets and participating in regional and global supply and value chains. This project will strengthen the national system so services in high demand (that can be offered at a cost and time competitive basis) can be carried out domestically. For others, the private sector will still have to rely on its neighbors.

DTIS Update, VANUATU TRADE POLICY FRAMEWORK (TPF) The Vanuatu’s Diagnostic Trade Integration Study (DTIS ) was finalised in 2008, but unfortunately didn’t receive the expected domestic and international support. Since 2012 the Vanuatu’s Trade Policy Framework 2012 (TPF 2012) is the main national document on trade matters, effectively taking over the role that the DTIS was expected to play. The TPF 2012 is complemented by a comprehensive Implementation Matrix (TPFIM), a tool which allows the government to pursue a sector-wide approach to trade. The TFPIM plays an equivalent role to the DTIS Action Matrix and to the Medium-Term Program for Trade Development sponsored by the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF). Following approval of the TPF 2012 and the TPFIM, the Vanuatu trade mainstreaming program has received significant support within the government and from donor partners. The EIF has provided a decisive contribution towards the program through resources allocated under its two Tiers. Importantly, the EU has recently selected the TPF as its Sectoral Policy for the purpose of budget support to be provided to Vanuatu under the 11th European Development Fund, National Indicative Program (EDF 11 NIP). The EIF Tier 1 project for Vanuatu includes an allocation for the DTIS update. Upon consideration of the Vanuatu’s policy landscape, the government and the EIF have concurred that the most promising results in terms of trade mainstreaming will be achieved by using EIF Tier 1 resources to update the TPF 2012 and the TPFIM. The TPF Update 2017 (TPFU 2017) will be carried out by adopting DTIS guidelines, as adapted to best fit the national conditions.

The technical details ?work plan, budget plan, logical framework- have been prepared with Value for Money in mind and are fully aligned with EIF Phase 2 project templates.
Establishment of a National Implementation Unit Mozambique is currently in the process of redefining its National Implementation Arrangement (NIA), including the establishment of a National Implementation Unit (NIU) to assist with the implementation of trade-related activities in Mozambique across Government Ministries, private sector and donor groups.
