Egg production facility in Afghanistan Note: This project has been cancelled, because of difficulties within the partnership.Most eggs sold in Afghanistan are imported from neighbouring countries. Quality is often very low, due to poor transport and storage conditions. Prices are high and because yolk and white cannot be separated they are unfit for processing by food companies like bakeries. The local partner is a family business in the west of Afghanistan. Besides a major contracting and installation company, they run a broiler business, importing the day-old hens from Iran. Together with the third partner, a Dutch businessman of Afghan origin,  they decided to start a farm for layers and produce table eggs. They convinced the applicant, a major worldwide supplier of parent stock based in Germany, to start a joint venture in Herat.The joint venture will set up a hatchery and use the parent stock to produce fertile eggs. Half of the day old hens will be kept on their farm, the other half will be sold to hundred poultry farmers, together with the required feed and medication. Most eggs from the farm will be sold to bakeries and other food companies, others will be packed and sold to retailers and shopkeepers. Direct demand for these eggs is far higher than the planned supply and this project enables the joint venture and an initial hundred households to service this market. As the joint venture is allowed to use the applicants’ German trademark, they comply with the high standards of animal welfare and operational management.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)•	Local partner trained and employed 60 widows in their contracting business (electrical installations) after the fall of the Taliban. Women in Afghanistan are traditionally not allowed to work and for widows it is very difficult to earn an income. By training a whole group, they enable them to work in "women only" crews, which is more acceptable. Beside this, they perform all the civil duties required of successful business men and pay their employees better than average.•	Lohmann has the standards required of a multinational, and operate according to their Lohmann wheel with standards for animal welfare, bribery, employment and environmental protection.Impact•	Employment and working conditionsAccording to Afghan standards, and additional benefits for illness, marriage, funerals, pilgrimages.•	Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeThere is no layer farm of any significant size in Afghanistan, only broilers.•	Chain effectsImpact on local suppliersHundred outgrowers will benefit and also farmers supplying the feed ingredients (80% local supply).Impact on local customers or consumersThey will have a supply of fresh eggs that can be used for other food production (like pastry), instead of eggs far beyond their NTC.•	EnvironmentNeutral.•	Position of womenA limited number of women will be employed in high positions (2 FTE). To produce and sell 30 million table eggs and 150,000 day old layers to 100 outgrowers per year.

Capacity building Aquaculture, Tanzania The aquaculture sector in Tanzania has great potential due to the growing demand for locally produced fish, population growth and declining supply from wild catch. However, the aquaculture sector has not unlocked its full potential as it lacks proven examples, best practices, practical knowledge and skills, technology and quality inputs. To fill this gap, a consortium of Dutch aquaculture companies have implemented the Impact Cluster project “FoodTechAfrica: Sustainable aquaculture best practices in Tanzania”. This public-private partnership has received support from the Netherlands Embassy in Dar es Salaam and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency.
Coastal erosion in Colombia – opportunities for collaboration related to the Masterplan Coastal Erosion (PMEC) As a result of the cooperation between the governments of Colombia and The Netherlands, the Coastal Erosion Masterplan (Plan Maestro de Erosión Costera - PMEC) was drafted in the year 2017. The plan was subsequently presented to the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS) for revision by the Technical Committee for the PMEC.The objective of PMEC is to develop a long-term, comprehensive, sustainable national vision and strategy with adequate technical, financial and institutional support, in order to prevent, mitigate and control erosion and its consequences on the coasts of Colombia. In this respect, the design principle of ‘Building with Nature’ plays a crucial role. As part of the Delta Cooperation between the Netherlands and Colombia, the implementation of the PMEC is defined as one of the prioritized activities for 2019/2020. In order to distinguish if, which, when and how further assistance from The Netherlands with respect to the implementation of PMEC is efficient, it is necessary to get a better view of the needs of different national, regional and local organizations in Colombia regarding coastal erosion. The measures that the national entities have taken so far as well as the projected activities regarding coastal erosion / PMEC.For these purposes, the Netherlands government, through a Colombian-Dutch consortium led by Arcadis, carried out two missions to contact various organizations related to coastal erosion in two possible sites of PMEC implementation (Sucre and La Guajira departments), to which a third site was added (San Andres and Providencia). The outcomes and activities of the project were severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, which created difficulties in connecting with national entities.This project is conducted in cooperation with: JeSyCa SAS, Fundacion Herencia Ambiental Caribe, Colombian and Netherlands government.

The action aims to leverage the positive role that civil society can play in the framework of the MEPP. Focusing directly on the Israeli-Palestinian context, the action seeks to preserve from further erosion and possibly reverse the negative public perception of the prospect for peace and a two-state solution. The action builds on lessons learned from the previous programming cycles, the recommendations of the most recent Mid-term evaluation of the EU Peacebuilding Initiative and takes into account recent developments affecting the viability of a two-state solution. It addresses Civil Society in its broadest meaning (all non-State, not-for-profit, independent and non-violent structures). Compared to the previous EU funded peace building programmes, this action is more ambitious and targeted in terms of support to Civil Society¿s engagement in the peace process. The Programme will also have a strong focus on women, supporting their meaningful participation in efforts to maintain and promote peace and security and will also strongly support youth, the largest segment of society both in Israel and Palestine. In particular youth engagement in decision making and contribution in conflict prevention and peacebuilding will be encouraged, with a specific attention to counter ideological radicalisation.The proposed action supports the implementation of the European Joint Strategy in support of Palestine 2021-2024 ¿Towards a democratic, accountable and sustainable Palestinian State¿ and the EU-Israel Action Plan . It also contributes to the New Agenda for the Mediterranean and United Nations¿ Sustainable Development Goals 16 and 5.The action reflects the EU priorities under the Joint Communication on a Renewed Partnership with the Southern Neighbourhood[1] and its Economic and Investment Plan (EIP)[2]. The objectives of the action are also aligned with the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) political framework. This action also implements the Multi-Annual Indicative Programme for the Southern Neighbourhood (2021-2027)[3] under its Priority Area 3: Peace and Security.
