DCAF Trust Fund for North Africa (TFNA) The DCAF Trust Fund for North Africa (TFNA) is a pool funding instrument established in 2012 to finance DCAF supported security sector governance development goals, within a context of democratic transition, in countries of North Africa. The TFNA is designed to ensure that DCAF is able to respond rapidly and flexibly to assistance requests from governments, and that assistance is delivered in the most effective and efficient manner possible.The TFNA works with governments, non-government organizations (NGOs) and the international community on: • Support to the development of parliamentary and independent oversight; • Support for communication and information sharing; • Regulatory assistance; • Inclusive dialogue on security needs and policies; • and support to managing change of security providers. The purpose of the TFNA is to assist legal and institutional development in the justice- and security sectors in countries of North Africa. All TFNA contributions are ODA eligible. The TFNA funds all DCAF activities in Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. The TFNA ensures greater donor coordination, which is key to success when supporting local security sector reform processes. Through the TFNA’s Steering Committee, Member States provide oversight and strategic guidance on DCAF’s work to support security sector development and reform in the region. The current TFNA members are Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Contributing donors can opt to contribute to either the North Africa window, or to one or several of the four country windows, or to both the regional and the country windows. Beyond this option, the Fund however does not accept any other form of earmarking. In 2011, an outburst of Arab popular discontent placed the various national security organizations and their practices in the spotlight. Ever since, reform of the police, security forces, the defence forces and the intelligence organizations has become key to ensuring stability, human rights and democratic transition. Several countries in North Africa realize that restoring public trust in the state requires restoring trust in those state institutions, which have the responsibility to protect the citizens. Some countries in the region realize that making security and justice organisations more transparent, accountable, and respectful of human dignity, helps reduce popular grievances, and hence violence and extremism.
Economic and social empowerment of young women and men in western and north-western regions of Zambia The joint initiative by UNFPA and UNIDO, in partnership with the Government of Zambia leverages on proven positive correlations between health, education, productivity and economic empowerment of youth in a given context. Evidence generated in Zambia underscores the fact that economic and social development cannot be addressed in silos if Zambia is to achieve its Vision of becoming a prosperous middle income country by 2030. The adoption of an integrated and multi-sectoral development approach by the Government resonates with global consensus on the interconnectedness of health, including Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), education, and economic empowerment. Guided by the country context and status of youth in Zambia, the joint initiative in targeted sites, will aim at improving the resilience of youth to health risks and insecurities through integrated health programmes, including SRH, with necessary linkages to education and skills acquisition that will build the social capital and improve productivity of Zambia#s working age population.  The joint initiative aims to improve development outcomes of young women and men, by improving opportunities for productive work for young women and men, while also improving their resilience to health risks and vulnerabilities. Empowering young women and men in strategi
Volvo and vocational training in Zambia: Private-Public Development Partnership (PPDP) within the development of Zambia#s Mining Skills and Training Framework (MSTF) The proposed project aims to establish, in partnership with Volvo, an academy for operations and maintenance of heavy equipment used in the mining industry and industries that are expected to grow as a result of the mining industry growth, such as construction and transport1. It will serve as a pilot project and is expected to offer an example of a public private development partnership (PPDP) to be inserted in the #Mining Skills and Training Framework (MSTF)# framework, thereby fostering systematic change within the vocational training system. In addition, the project will increase the supply of skilled Heavy Equipment Repair (H.E.R) workers and generate productive employment for young Zambian men and women.

Supporting infant food manufacturing in Zambia A request was received by UNIDO from the Ministry of Industry, Zambia on 19th October 2018 to support the country to develop landrace crops based baby food manufacturing.  Zambia has a abundance of water and fertile land as well as a favourable climate for agricultural production.  However, the country needs significant agricultural transformation to become food secure.  Infants are most vulnerable to any form of food insecurity and it is estimated that 1 in every 22 Zambian children die before reaching their first birthday  and 1 in five do not survive to their fifth birthday (CSO, 2014).  A significnat number of those surviving their fifth birthday suffer stunting.  Presently Zambia does not have infant food manufacturing capacity and all the infant food sold in the country is imported from neighbouring South Africa and China making it unaffordable and out of reach for the majority of the rural folks.  This project thus proposes to partner with the private sector to establish an infant food processing facility that utilizes locally produced raw materials.   The processing unit would provide market linkage for small holder producers.  The project does not only provide convenient and affordable nutrient dense food for infants but creates an opportunity for the emergence of commercially oriented agriculture prod

HCFC phase-out management plan (stage II) HCFC phase-out management plan (stage II)  The overarching strategy for Zambia is to implement an integrated plan for HCFC reductions in the refrigeration sector, as well as promoting and adopting ozone friendly and energy efficient technologies.  As originally submitted, stage II of the HPMP proposes a 67.5 per cent reduction from the country#s  HCFC baseline consumption by 2025 and 100 per cent reduction by 2030, on the understanding that  Zambia's consumption between 2029 and 2040 will be consistent with the servicing tail as provided under the Montreal Protocol. Stage II has been designed based on the experience gained during the implementation of stage I and addresses the recommendations of the verification report. It will focus on strengthening the HCFC licensing and quota system, promoting the transition to low global-warming potential (GWP) t echnologies in the RAC sector, implementing legal instruments related to the safe use of new technologies, further strengthening the capacity of the servicing sector including through the provision of equipment, and strengthening the certification scheme for technicians.
Programme for Country Partnership Zambia 2021-2026 The Programme for Country Partnership (PCP) Zambia will support the Government of the Republic of Zambia in the implementation of its Vision 2030 and the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP). The Programme#s objective and targeted results have built upon the lessons learned in the implementation of the Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) and have been well aligned with the relevant national policy framework, and notably with the National Industrial Policy 2018.  The Programme will also serve as the main framework of action for UNIDO to contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Strategic Development Partnership Framework (UNSDPF) 2016-2022 for Zambia and its Addendum as well as the UN Socio-Economic Response Plan guiding the UN efforts to facilitate the post-COVID-19 recovery in the country.  Under the leadership of the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry as the Chair of the PCP National Coordination Body, the PCP will strengthen the existing and forge new partnerships for inclusive and sustainable industrial development of the country, with the main objective of contributing to a diversified, competitive, inclusive and sustainable industrial economy of the Republic of Zambia, and in line with its overall structure into three main focus areas: Value addition, Skills development and Poli

UNIDO-Zambia Country Programme 2017-2021 The UNIDO-Zambia Country Programme (CP) is designed to enhance UNIDO#s support to the Government of Zambia to implement a road-map towards Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID). It is aligned to and supporting the implementation of the government priorities as defined in the Revised Sixth National Development Plan (2011-2015) and reflected in the new United Nations Sustainable Development Partnership Framework (2016-2021). The program is focusing on the overall objective of supporting pro-poor economic growth through promotion of a competitive private sector with particular attention to small scale enterprises with an agro-industry orientation. Moreover, the Country Program aims at building the capacity of relevant national institutions from both the public and private sector. As industrialization is a long-term endeavor, involving many stakeholders, efforts will be made to strengthen synergies and minimize duplication by collaborating with development cooperation partners, state and non-state actors, as well as the private sector in the country.
Technical assistance for the total phase out of methyl bromide in tobacco, cut flowers, horticulture and post harvest uses Introducing document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/56/56, the representative of the Secretariat said that, on behalf of the Government of Zambia, UNIDO had submitted a project proposal to phase out 10 ODP tonnes of methyl bromide used in soil fumigation and the post-harvest sector, representing all controlled uses of methyl bromide. The project, as originally submitted, was based on 2005 methyl bromide consumption. However, on the basis of further discussions, it was agreed that the level of consumption to be phased out should be 7.4 ODP tonnes, calculated as the 2005-2007 average reported consumption.
ASTA - Soybean Value Chain development in Zambia Zambia has huge potential for upgrading and scaling up its production of soybean: favourable agroclimatic conditions for increased cultivation, the labour-intensive nature of the subsector, the willingness of the oil seed crushers to work at full capacity, and the high local and international demand. Despite this potential however, the soybean sector remains underdeveloped. Important constraints are: very low yields and poor quality of seeds. Weak linkages among the chain#s actors, both horizontal and vertical, unstable access to international markets due to regular export bans, poor business development services, and inadequate storages, trading infrastructure and processing facilities constitute other major obstacles.  Access to finance, for long-term investment or short-term working capital, remains another major challenge across the soybean value chain, particularly for MSMEs. Under the joint UNIDO and FAO Agrifood Systems Transformation Accelerator (ASTA), the present project will upgrade the soybean value chain in Zambia.
HCFC phase-out management plan (stage I) The Government of Zambia is proposing to follow the Montreal Protocol schedule and adopt a staged approach to achieve the complete phase-out of HCFCs by 2030. The current submission only contains stage I of the HPMP to achieve a 35 per cent reduction by 2020 and focuses on activities for the servicing sector using HCFC-22.

Increasing Competitiveness and Market Orientation of Innovation-Driven Goat Processing Value Chains in the Republic of Zambia In early 2019, UNIDO and the Government of Zambia initiated the formulation of the new PCP programme. UNIDO conducted several missions to the country to discuss the PCP with government counterparts and development partners, and facilitate the transition from the ongoing UNIDO Country Programme into a PCP. The main focus areas are identified as (i) Improving the policy environment; (ii) Industrial skills development; and (iii) Fostering manufacturing industries and value addition in primary commodities. This project aims to address supply-side constraints and market access inadequacies focusing on the priorities identified in the DTIS Action Matrix, such as improving competitiveness as well as quality and standards of local agricultural/livestock products both in domestic and international markets resulting in enhanced efficiency and expanded socio-economic impact of the goat processing value chain in Zambia.  UNIDO has developed, tested and refined globally a set of tools that it uses to support its programmes for the promotion of the agro-industrial sector. Specifically, UNIDO#s experience in implementing the project #Promoting sustainable bush-processing value chains# in the region possesses significant technical assistance potential from which goat processing value chains in Zambia could benefit. The UNIDO p

Submarine Cable ECHO Australia is part of a multi-partner effort with the Governments of Palau, the United States and Japan to construct a second fibre optic submarine cable system for the Republic of Palau. The system will be a dedicated branch off the proposed ECHO cable network. As a result, bandwidth usage in Palau has increased by around seven times in just three years and today, nearly every household in the nation has access to fixed line and mobile telephony. However, Palau does not currently have any internet connections that provide redundancy for its first cable. This is a disincentive for private investment and an impediment to development. The new system marks the first project to be delivered under the Trilateral Partnership for Infrastructure Investment in the Indo-Pacific between the United States, Australia and Japan.
