An innovative approach towards Burundi's food self-sufficiency Note: This project has been cancelled, because of the political situation in Burundi, which made it impossible to implement the project.Potatoes and onions are important crops for the nutrition of the Burundian population. But still the country depends largely on imports. Local production is mainly by subsistence farmers and yields are low, as is the quality compared to imported produce. Also, prices fluctuate depending on the season. The applicant is a Dutch farmer with experience of setting up farming facilities and improving production, processing and storage in Eastern European countries. Main business of the local partner is agricultural studies and engineering. The company was established to accommodate commercial activities that evolved out of CADI, an NGO aiming at capacity building of small and local agricultural communities. Partners will establish a joint venture, BUHADEC, that will introduce important innovations: new, modern and sustainable technology and equipment for mechanised sowing, nursing and harvesting the crops, as well as processing and storage facilities. This will have a stabilizing effect on market prices. The annual capacity of the project will be 3,600 tons of potatoes and onions.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)Partners are committed to CSR principles. The operational plan reflects this in terms of labour norms, health and safety standards and training, sustainable and environmentally responsible farming.Impact•	Employment and working conditionsLiving wages will be paid and an acceptable set of fringe benefits is offered; among others free meals, healthcare insurance and pension saving option.•	Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeApart from using modern farming techniques and quality seeds the project will introduce quality cleaning, packaging and storage to Burundi.GlobalGAP certification is included.•	Chain effectsImpact on local suppliers:Inputs from local suppliers are limited; seeds will be purchased internationally, if possible fertilisers and crop protection products will be purchased locally.Impact on local customers or consumers:In a country where malnutrition is an issue better availability and price stabilisation of crops like potatoes and onions are of clear positive impact on local consumers.•	Impact on the sectorKnowledge transfer to other commercial farms or NGOs is not part of specific activities within the project, but is likely to happen because of the nature of the local partner's activities.•	EnvironmentProject aims to use sustainable methods, e.g. limited use of pesticides, but not organic farming.•	Position of womenAround one third of the employees mostly at basic level will be women.•	Impact on food safetyThe project will enhance food security by raising productivity and product quality.•	Impact on waterWater shortage is not an issue in this area. Establishing 50 ha of onion (white and red) and 20 ha of potato production and processing and storage facilities, introducing professional methods and techniques.

WASH Cluster Coordinator for UNICEF The drought situation in the Horn of Africa continues to deteriorate with critical rain season failures over three consecutive years and local coping mechanisms pushed to their limit. The broad failure of crops and loss of livestock is accelerating displacement of populations, malnutrition rates and morbidity in poorer populations. UNICEF has declared an Level-2 Emergency for the drought covering an estimated amount of 3,300,495 people in need of humanitarian WASH support in Kenya alone.The drought situation however, demands a response on a greater scale covering the north and the east of Kenya and in preparation and response to the worst case scenario of famine, displacement and refugee influx into vulnerable arid regions of the country. Given the deteriorating drought situations across Kenya, it is critical to have an experienced WASH Emergency Specialist (P-4 level) on board to support sector coordination at national and county levels and fill in the gap as we wait for the recruitment of the National Operation Center (NOC) post.

Southern Africa Aircraft & Airport Development Study All official reports from major aircraft manufacturers and the Southern African Development Community (Multi-Annual Strategic Plan) show a big increase in demand of aircrafts in the (Southern) African countries. An increase in passengers and cargo movements means a need for efficient infrastructure (airports) and aircraft maintenance. Furthermore, government support will be relevant for creating a network through Government-to-Government relations. Airport development within countries, typically has a very strong government involvement.The SADC region is considered as a potentially interesting region for future cooperation opportunities in Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) and airport development & infrastructure. However, the knowledge on the region is limited. Therefore, the request for a report on developments within aircraft maintenance and airport development & infrastructure. The report should give an insight in short- and long-term opportunities (airport development) within the aerospace industry. Furthermore, there is a need within the Dutch industry to have an understanding about the main stakeholders regarding decision making, financing and partnerships. The Netherlands Aerospace Group (NAG) is the trade association for aerospace in the Netherlands. Their 100+ members cluster over 95% of the aircraft manufacturing, aircraft maintenance and airport development and infrastructure industry in the Netherlands. The NAG is a non-profit organisation founded in 1976 and supports its members through knowledge, international positioning and representation towards the (national) government. The NAG has been commissioned to carry out a fact finding study about the aerospace sector in Southern Africa.

High level reclamation forum The economic section of the Netherlands embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, wishes to promote Dutch infrastructure companies in Indonesia, focussing on sustainability towards land reclamation. The Dutch reclamation sector has an excellent reputation worldwide, except in Indonesia. The Dutch embassy and the Indonesia Netherlands Association (INA) would like to cooperate to counter the negative publicity concerning reclamations in Indonesia and promote Dutch knowledge and competencies, especially about sustainable manners of reclamation.The Dutch Embassy plans to host a high-level seminar for the Indonesian government and local stakeholders with approximately 250 attendees. This event will take place during the Indonesia International Infrastructure Exhibition.  The forum aims to inform the Indonesian (local) government(s) about sustainable manners of reclamation and how Dutch companies could be involved since sustainable reclamation is a Dutch speciality. In addition, the seminar will promote governmental measures for sustainable reclamation, such as conducting environmental impact assessments and adapting rules and regulations in favour of sustainable reclamation. These measures are crucial to ensure sustainable reclamation practices and will be highlighted during the seminar.
Cargoledger in Kenya Cargoledger B.V. (CL) wants to free the transport and logistics sector from all paperwork and has therefore developed a digital platform for sharing and exchanging data between cooperating parties such as freight forwarders, warehouses, but also port authorities, shipping companies and customs. This platform allows all parties to work paperless, all documents and information are exchanged electronically, but also much safer, more efficient and more transparent. The various organizations in the transport chain work together in one and the same IT system; the CL platform. Data is accessible to each organization based on their role in the logistics process. A big advantage for these organizations is that they can continue to work with their own existing IT systems. CL offers a second layer of software under existing systems that supports data sharing between all these systems. Customers therefore do not have to invest in expensive software.Kenya is a major transport hub in East Africa with a relatively well-developed infrastructure for road, rail and air transport and a relatively well-developed logistics. Kenya exports a lot of flowers and fruit to the Netherlands. Players in this market have asked CL to also offer their services on the Kenyan market so that their processes run more efficiently, but also because Western countries find it increasingly important to show where their products come from.During the demonstration project, TMX Global, a shipping and courier company from Nairobi, will integrate the CL system with its own existing software systems.
Creating a Sustainable Business Model for the Western Cape Maritime Cluster Large maritime corporations in South Africa face several challenges concerning contracting local entrepreneurs for additional services. The Western Cape stimulates the contracting of previously disadvantaged groups through the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policy, but corporations have to find each other to establish those contracts. In 2018, the Western Cape Maritime Cluster (WCMC) was developed to facilitate matchmaking between large corporations' demands and BEE companies' offers. In addition, the WCMC could play a role in specific skills support or capacity building in the local sector. This project will analyse in detail what local demands and offers are and what a suitable and sustainable business model for WCMC would be.

Climate adaptation and delta management knowledge project Summary of the Delta Adaptation Colombia (ProCAD) projectBackgroundThe Government of the Netherlands, through the Partners for Water programme, funded a project for the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia (Minambiente). The project, with a focus on coastal deltas, was executed during the second half of 2021, aimed to analyse maritime deltas in Colombia with existing information, identification of knowledge exchange needs and capacity development; to identify of possible projects to be executed in the deltas, with possible sources of financing; and to obtain a roadmap for further cooperation in the Delta Coalition, envisioning a future regional project with Argentina and opportunities for cooperation with other wings of the Delta Alliance network.Analysis and selection of maritime deltas in ColombiaThree selected deltas were analysed, namely Magdalena, Sinú (on the Atlantic coast) and Patía (on the Pacific coast). Four criteria were proposed for delimiting these deltas, namely geomorphology of the river mouth, delimitation of lagoon systems and coastal water bodies connected to main rivers, presence of populated areas, Coastal Environmental Units (Decree 1120 of 2013), as an articulation with the Coastal management and planning figures in Colombia. Battery of projects and priorisation31 project proposals were analysed concerning adaptation to either climate change or climate risk management in the three deltas. They were prioritized by their degree of alignment with regional and national planning instruments, their response to climate adaptation challenges, their approaches to adaptation on coastal ecosystems, their technical knowledge and their stakeholder engagement. After evaluating the criteria and their indicators, twelve projects were priorised. Six of them address the Magdalena Delta, three the Sinú delta and three the Patía. Identification of needs and capacity buildingAn initial diagnosis was carried out, identifying capacity needs from all 31 collected project proposals. In addition, a stakeholder consultation was done (via an online workshop) to identify gaps and capacity needs. A capacity needs assessment matrix was proposed with five categories, namely Human and institutional capacity, Technology and infrastructure, Governance structure, Stakeholder interactions, and Business opportunities & readiness. Most of the capacity gaps identified from the project proposals were related to Human and institutional capacity, specifically related to the lack of technical knowledge on natural resources and river basins as well as on climate change topics. Possible funding sources for the prioritized projectsThe 12 shortlisted projects were categorised in the themes of restoration and conservation of ecosystems projects, comprehensive planning and governance projects, and knowledge and use of information projects. National sources were focused on those projects addressing environmental and climate change issues. International sources were focused on small-scale projects for which sub-national public entities and local organisations could apply themselves.
