Utveckling av metoder som kombinerar enzymer och organiska syror föratt försockra cellulosa i jordbruksrester Development of methods based on the combination of enzymes and organic acids for saccharification of cellulose in agricultural and forestry resid Varje år fångas många miljarder ton kol när cellulosa, det vanligaste organiska ämnet på jorden, bildas från fotosyntes i växter. Cellulosa består av hopkopplade glukos(druvsocker) och bryts ned i naturen av svampar och bakterier varvid slutligen koldioxid och vatten bildas, medan organismerna tillgodogör sig den frisatta energin. Det finns numera ett stort intresse för att i industriell skala bryta ned cellulosa till glukos, som sedan lätt kan jäsas till etanol. Stora anläggningar finns bland annat i Danmark och (under byggnad) i Italien. Nedbrytningen kan antingen åstadkommas med de enzymer som tillverkas av svampar och bakterier eller med syrabehandling, vanligen utspädd svavelsyra. Vårt projekt är i stället inriktat på att kombinera enzymer med miljövänliga organiska syror. Goda resultat med utvalda organiska syror finns rapporterade i litteraturen, och har även erhållits vid preliminära experiment i vårt eget laboratorium. Vi kommer i vårt projekt också att ta speciell hänsyn till och undvika konkurrens med livsmedelsproduktion, dels genom att huvudsakligen utnyttja restprodukter, t.ex halm, som inte används som mat, dels genom att utvälja grödor som kan odlas under ogynnsamma förhållanden, t.ex i torra eller saltpåverkade områden. A new catalytic process for saccharification of lignocelluloses from wood, straw and other low value agricultural/forest products will be developed. The process will combine the catalytic power of enzymes with the high penetration power and the ability to act under more vigorous condition found for organic acids. Dedicated protocols will be developed for the most relevant materials, i.e. abundant agricultural waste with low value for other purposes. The efficiency of physical pretreatment (chopping, crushing, grinding) will be evaluated. The research work will be divided beteween Sweden and Tanzania: Model degradation experiments will be divided between Tanzania and Sweden and fermentation tests will mostly be carried out in Tanzania. PI:s will make mutual research visits in Sweden and Tanzania. Junior staff from Tanzania should initially carry out training and research in Sweden and thus transfer competence for more extensive work in Tanzania. The general principles for enzymatic degradation of lignocellulose are well known and the usefulness of organic acids is reported in literature and confirmed in our lab. The project will result in increased knowledge about technical scale lignocellulose saccharification and to added value products such as ethanol from agriculural residue. Another important impact is the strengthening of north-south collaboration, scientific training of junior staff and capacity building

Aid and trama care training by MSB in Ukraine Träning akut omhändertagande MSB i Ukraina Den begränsade nivån på grundläggande sjukvårdsutbildning hos såväl civila som militära aktörer i Ukraina leder till många fall av svårt skadade och döda, som hade kunnat undvikas. Behoven av utbildning inom området är enorma, samtidigt som merparten av de internationella insatser som genomförs inom området fokuserar på utbildning av slutanvändare, det vill säga av personer med direkta behov av utbildning. Detta angreppssätt är mycket resurskrävande och därför har MSB fokuserat på att utbilda instruktörer, så kallat training of trainers inom nätverk och organisationer för frivilliga. Insatsernas övergripande syfte och förväntade resultat är att fler liv kan räddas, bland människor som drabbas av kriget i Ukraina. Mer specifikt förväntas livräddande insatser uppnås genom ökad kompetens i omhändertagande av krigsskador i det ukrainska samhället, öka antalet tillgängliga instruktörer samt möjliggöra utbildandet av ytterligare instruktörer i egen regi. MSB is training participants from a Ukrainian NGO to become Instructors in first aid/trauma care. These in turn educate others. Some instructors have been taken to Sweden for further education/training, but the majority of the training takes place in Ukraine. The limited level of basic first aid training in Ukraine has led to many cases of serious injuries and deaths, which could have been avoided. The needs for training in the field are enormous, at the same time as most of the international efforts carried out within the area focuses on the education of end users, i.e. of people with direct need of education. This approach is very resource demanding and therefore MSB has focused on training instructors, so-called training of trainers within networks and organizations for volunteers. The overall aim and expected results of the efforts are that more lives can be saved, among people affected by the war in Ukraine. More specific expected life-saving efforts are achieved through increased competence in the care of war injuries in Ukrainian society, increase the number of available instructors as well enable the training of additional instructors in-house. The goal of MSB:s peace operations is to enhance its partners’ capacities and strengthen responsiveness to enable sustainable peace, security and development in conflict-, post-conflict countries and fragile states, to ensure the transition from poverty and oppression to peace, freedom and security Målet med MSB:s fredsfrämjande arbete är att samarbetsaktörer får en stärkt kapacitet och svarsförmåga att verka för hållbar fred, säkerhet och utveckling i konflikt- och postkonfliktländer samt sviktande stater, för att människor som lever i fattigdom och förtryck ska kunna leva i frihet och säkerhet.

- As the first independent power producer in the country, the Project is expected to have a significant demonstration effect and catalyze private sector participation in the country's power sector.
- The Project will avoid GHG emissions and thus contribute to climate change mitigation.
Banque de l'habitat du Burkina Faso The proposed project consists of an equity investment in Banque de lHabitat du Burkina Faso (BHBF) in the amount of up to US$600,000 for a 15% stake.  The purpose of the project is to support the bank in a critical sector, housing finance, by complementing IFCs investment with a strong advisory services program to strengthen BHBF operations during its critical growth phase, particularly in the areas of risk management and mortgage/property finance. In addition to the bank-specific advisory services program, IFC launched a sector-wide advisory program in Burkina Faso in September 2009 with six participants to help create a viable and sustainable mortgage market. By supporting the first dedicated housing bank in Burkina Faso, the Project is expected to make a significant contribution to the housing sector in the country by helping to provide a significant portion of the Burkinabe population with an opportunity to access homeownership. IFCs investment will also help mobilize much needed long-term finance to BHBF, which, in turn, will contribute to financial sector strengthening. Finally, the project will help demonstrate the commercial viability of mortgage lending in Burkina Faso.

Onatel S.A. The project consists of the upgrade, maintenance and operation of Onatel S.A.s (Onatel or the company) existing fixed and mobile networks in Burkina Faso.  Onatel is the incumbent telecom operator in Burkina Faso with approximately 100,000 fixed line subscribers and 7,000 internet subscribers.  Through its wholly owned subsidiary Telmob, Onatel also serves approximately 350,000 mobile subscribers, 98% of which are pre-paid. Onatel employs 1,300 people. The project will offer a wide range of standard and value added fixed and mobile services in Burkina Faso. Given the poor state of the existing telecommunications infrastructure in the country, the project will have a significant development impact for both individuals and businesses.  With fixed line penetration of slightly more than 0.7% and mobile penetration of 4.3%, Burkina Faso ranks with the countries with the lowest tele-density worldwide.   The project will improve access to reliable and affordable telecommunication services for consumers and businesses.  The company projects that fixed and mobile penetration will increase to 1.4% and 28% respectively by 2011.  

The project will also support the telecom liberalization process of the Government of Burkina Faso.  Burkina Faso started liberalizing its telecommunications sector in 1991 with the help of the World Bank.  In 1998 a new telecom law was enacted and the regulatory agency (ARTEL) was created. The private sector has entered Burkina Fasos mobile sector in 2000 (Telecel) and in 2001 (Celtel). The privatization of Onatel in December 2006 and the opening up of the fixed sector to competition are the latest steps towards full sector liberalization.
