Partnership for responsible cobalt sourcing (FBK18S01AB) Cobalt is a crucial input material for batteries found in many consumer electronics. The demand for cobalt is expected to grow at a rate of 5% per year and most of cobalt is sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Currently, over 50% of cobalt comes from DRC of which a smaller, but still significant part (+-20%) is mined artisanally (ASM). A detailed risk assessment highlights that the risk of child labour is highest at the start of the supply chain of cobalt, at the artisanal mine sites. This project aims to come with sustainable solutions to combat child labour at the ASM mine site level.
Charcoal Production Georgia The objective of this feasibility study is that based on the resulting business plan, the Georgian company Continental Food can make an investment decision for establishing a charcoal factory consisting of:• Ten furnaces for charcoal production;• Pre-drying installations for wood;• Premises designed for housing the complete factory;• Related infrastructure, such as electricity lines and transformers.The foreseen annual capacity of the factory is 20,000 tons of charcoal, which will be produced:• In an environmentally friendly, CO2 neutral manner;• In a very efficient way, because for the production of 1 kg charcoal in this factory around 3 to 4 kg of waste wood is necessary. Producing charcoal in a traditional way requires at least 10 kg of wood to produce 1 kg of charcoal;• Mainly for the Turkish market (an export product is made).The general objectives of this feasibility study is to make a business plan (including financial model) based on which:• The commercial and technical feasibility of the project is shown in Georgian circumstances;• The optimum design is made for a charcoal factory under Georgian circumstances;• An investment decision can be taken by Continental Food;• It will be possible to attract financing from ISBank.Based on this feasibility study additionally the following will result:• Export from the Netherlands towards Georgia of all participants in this study (with a value of almost EUR 6 million during the first 3 years after finalisation of this study);• Approximately 150 people will be employed as a result of this project (direct and indirect);• It is demonstrated what is possible with Dutch modern technology.

Orange Corners Morocco – Start capital This intervention provides the Netherlands embassy in Rabat, Morocco, with a starting capital to pay for the services of the Orange Corners service providers in the first three months of the programme.Due to the unforeseen extensive administrative procedure required to set up a legal entity in Morocco, it is currently impossible to have the committed financial contributions of various corporate partners available. Because these financial means are unavailable, the Orange Corners service providers can't be paid, and formal contracts can't be signed.After the financial contributions of the corporate partners are transferred to the Orange Corners account, the financial contributions that exceed the initial Orange Corners budget due to the RVO funds being used to pay for the first three months might be utilized to provide 'start capital' for several Orange Corners entrepreneurs – if the Orange Corners steering committee decides so.
Strategic advice to the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on river training and management in the Mekong Delta Both Vietnam and the Netherlands are facing vital challenges for managing the deltas of the Mekong and the Rhine River, respectively. Because of many commonalities in both deltas a long-term co-operation was started long ago in the field of river and coastal management. In this framework the Dutch government has enabled a project to support the Vietnamese government with technical and strategic advice on the management of scour and bank erosion in the Mekong Delta. This assignment was financed through the Partners for Water Program, executed by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), part of the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate.Presently in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) there are more than 600 riverbank erosion sites with a total length of 590 km. In many areas, erosion has directly threatened people's lives and property and many households must be relocated due to destruction of their houses through bank collapse. Also, roads and other infrastructure damages have been reported frequently. The scale and consequences of river erosion shows the urgency of an integral plan for bank protection.The report has been drafted as part of the Netherlands/Vietnam cooperation on delta challenges and focuses on the problem of riverbank erosion and its solutions. It shares state-of-the-arts views, methods and constructive ideas to deal with these challenges, by presenting a systemic perspective as well as inspiring experiences from international practice.The report reflects the changes in river-engineering towards more flexible adaptive strategies that ‘work with nature’ rather than ‘resist forces of nature’. The scale of stresses in the Vietnam Mekong Delta, such as massive sand mining, sea-level rise, rapid subsidence, dam impacts and social and economic drivers, require a systematic program for fighting bank erosion. The experts believe that the erosion of riverbanks in the VMD can be managed and controlled in the future by the river managers if they enable this transition in their practice by using a blend of river training, with hard infrastructure, and river engineering, with sediment management (dredging, nourishment) and Building with Nature.
Scoping study Iraq This scoping study is the starting point of Dutch-Iraqi cooperation in private sector development. In October 2017, Iraq became the focus country for the new Dutch government.

Impactcluster Horti Senegal There is a potential to increase local vegetable production in the Niayes region in Senegal and to increase farmers’ profitability. However, smallholder farmers lack high-quality inputs and entrepreneurial skills. Their agricultural practices are suboptimal, like using old seeds and chemical fertilizers. Due to inefficient operation and predominantly traditional irrigation technology, 50-80% of the water that is pumped to the field, is lost. Farming techniques such as heavy fertilizer use, unwise irrigation and leaving land fallow in the hot summer months contribute to soil degradation and salinization. It poses a significant threat to sustained productivity and climate resilience. The country has a relatively young population, with over 80% younger than 35 years old. Very few young job seekers have the required skills to be employed. They are not aware that farming could be an interesting business. This Impactcluster HortiSenegal project aims to improve the vegetable production of safe and tasty vegetables for the Senegalese market by increasing the competencies of young smallholder farmers in the Niayes region (Kirene and St. Louis) and reducing environmental impact. This is accomplished by using and enhancing a Demonstration and Training Centre, which encompasses greenhouse demonstrations and a train-the-trainer programme for 30 lead farmers. These lead farmers will subsequently train 3,000 smallholder farmers, together with the consortium partners, at their respective demonstration plots. At the same time, the project promotes farming as a business among the youth of Senegal, through communication and attendance at demo days. The installation and demonstration of drip irrigation and training using farming methods under saline conditions are part of the solutions for soil restoration offered by this Impactcluster project. Smallholders will be helped by getting access to finance, markets and storage solutions. When smallholders see their profits grow, they will more likely purchase inputs, technologies and services from the consortium partners.
Ethiopian-Dutch Business Event The event aims to promote investment and trade opportunities in Ethiopia for the Dutch private sector and to create awareness among potential investors.
