Multisector Market Study West Ukraine Western Ukraine faces many (economic) challenges and is so far lagging compared to the rest of Ukraine. However, this part of Ukraine also offers many new opportunities in different sectors. These are the agro-food, horticulture, biomass, industry and machine building, construction materials, chemical industry, and metal works sectors. Considering the expertise of the Netherlands in these sectors, the Netherlands can contribute to the development of the western regions and, at the same time, gain from the established business links. The envisioned expanded involvement of Dutch companies in this part of Ukraine can contribute to increased productivity of the local sectors, more jobs and ultimately to the overall private sector development of the region. However, to fully understand and contribute to the private sector development of West Ukraine, the essential private sector development (PSD) challenges for the seven regions or so-called oblasts of West Ukraine have to be identified. Furthermore, the identified opportunities for Dutch companies in Western Ukraine should motivate Dutch businesses to come to this region.
Addressing living income gap in Rwanda's coffee growing communities A large part of the population in Rwanda lives in poverty. Approximately 90% of the active population works as farmers. Agriculture contributes 30.9% (2017) to the Gross National Product (GNP) and agricultural products make up approximately 63% of export income (f.e. coffee, tea and minerals).All Ahold Delhaize Coffee Company coffee beans are Rainforest Alliance certified. Ahold Delhaize Coffee Company wants to improve its due diligence approach and cooperates in this pilot with sustainable coffee trader Sucafina. The human rights risk assessment Sucafina conducted in Rwanda identified living income gap and gender equality as high-risk areas. The low income of coffee farmers is partly due to aging coffee plants and therefore lower production.This project focuses on testing different measures to lower the risks for farmers when they invest tree rejuvenation to increase their yields. The project partners have complementary skills to address the issues.The Dutch NGO 100WEEKS, has experience with projects to overcome the living income gap.Sucafina and its sister company in Rwanda, Rwacof, haves contacts with relevant stakeholders (farmers, supply chain workers).Kahawatu Foundation is a local NGO and embedded in the coffee community in Rwanda, with expertise in community development and gender equality.Working together is essential to make the action plan and its execution successful. Sucafina will coordinate the creation of the action plan for developing a methodology that can be used in closing the living income gap for smallholder coffee farmers. Sucafina will first identify the project's scope/beneficiaries. Workshops will be organized to further build-out the workplan, and detailed budget, including cost-sharing.

Senegal follow-up mission (DRR15SN01) The Senegal River ends in an estuary near the city of Saint Louis. In 2003, exceptional rainfall in the Sahel zone and in Guinea resulted in significantly high water levels in the Senegal River. In order to prevent collapse of the Diama dam an opening was made in the sand barrier. This opening was quickly eroded and the gap grew to 2.5 km width. This had a major impact on the environment, through salt intrusion in an area where fresh river water was previously used for gardening. The DRR-Team was requested for support in this regard. After the scoping mission in November 2014 a follow-up mission took place in March 2015. The focus was on writing a ToR for temporary measures and strengthen follow-up funding.
