Driving a conducive cocoa sector in the Netherlands Influence policies through existing networks, including promoting the development of viable alternatives to the existing certification system resulting in a new generation of sustainability initiatives that generate a living income for cocoa farmers, and advocating for inclusive supply chains through the strengthening of the Women in Cocoa and Chocolate Network (WINCC) to address gender inequalities and farm level and throughout the supply chain.  Main focus in 2019 was supporting the call for a living income for Cocoa farmers. Joint advocacy efforts of Solidaridad and others focusing on the position of smallholder cocoa farmers and the role of national governments, contributed to the establishment of a living income price differential in the  by the Ghana and Ivory Coast governments. Companies and industry organizations followed suit and announced to pay the Ghana/CDI living income differential. Solidaridad participated in two CSO networks to jointly address the issues and recommendations of the 2018 Barometer: the VOICE network and the Barometer consortium. Together with VOICE Network, Solidaridad advocated for a living wage for cocoa farmers. As a result RA/UTZ announced a mandatory cash premium to be implemented in the near future. We joined the Dutch Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (DISCO) to negotiate an ambitious and credible charter for the Dutch cocoa sector. Our lobby of the private sector starts to pay off: Barry Callebaut, Tony’s, Mars, Mondelez, Hershey, Cargill, Olam and Nestle show increasing commitments of varying levels with training, living incomes, child-labour free supply chains and greater forest protection.
Gender learning agenda 1. To prove the business case for gender inclusivity in Solidaridad programming
2. Analyse best practices of gender mainstreaming at organization level and Implement a comprehensive change management strategy aimed at gender inclusivity within the work organization.
In Ghana, we commissioned a gender case study that showed that investing in young women cocoa farmers helps to increase participation in decision making on household expenses. More needs to be done to realize gender transformation (change in social norms) to realize changes in social and power relations at household level. A gender readiness tool to assess how gender inclusive a project design is, and to identify inclusivity gaps and recommendations to implement a gender inclusion plan was developed and  piloted in South Africa.
Learning Agenda Task Force Sustainable Landscapes Priorities for the Learning Agenda Sustainable Landscapes are decided by the Task Force Sustainable Landscapes. Based on portfolio analysis of the current Landscape Programming in Solidaridad Network and discussions among Task Force members, activities and end products of the Learning Plan will:

1) support ongoing implementation of landscape programmes by means of testing / developing three identified tools;

2) contribute to development of a strong proposition for Solidaridad in the Landscape domain with design of a module on Business for Sustainable Landscapes, focused on engagement of private sector;

3) build capacity within Solidaridad Network by connecting teams across regions and throughout the network (facilitate exchange programme between landscapes and create internal practitioners network).

Golden Line The Golden Line programme strives to make mining policies and practices more gender-sensitive, increase women’s agency and create a supportive local environment, addressing practical and strategic barriers to women’s economic empowerment in ASGM communities in Ghana and Tanzania. 
Enhanced agency and control over their reproductive rights will contribute to women’s increased control over other resources. As other aspects, such as education and land ownership, are also crucial we will link with relevant actors addressing these barriers, and networks addressing improved gender equality in mining. 
The Golden Line programme applies three cross-cutting strategies: building women’s voice and agency to claim their rights; positive male involvement; and engaging communities to challenge existing gender norms and enhance social accountability. 1. Improved working conditions, including health and safety and equal pay for equal work, for women working in ASGM.
2. Increased abilities to engage in economic activities for all women in ASGM communities. Women working in artisanal and small-scale gold mines (ASGMs) and surrounding communities
Learning Agenda Corporate Engagement & Partnerships The learning ambition for the next years is on four levels: 

1. Strategy: Solidaridad needs to learn about its internal context (strengths and weaknesses) and external context (opportunities and threats) and elaborate its CEP strategy and related proposition. Learning questions are: What should be Solidaridad’s position/proposition in CEP for inclusion and sustainability? What kind of corporate partnerships should we focus on and what do we aim to achieve with them? 

2. Process: Solidaridad needs to learn about effective building blocks of a successful CEP approach, i.e. a clear guideline of steps to follow and tools to use during the development and management of corporate partnerships. Learning questions are: How does Solidaridad engage best with corporate partners, from initial contact to building trust, setting up a collaboration, and implementing and evaluating a joint program? What are good tools to use in this process? 

3. Evidence: Solidaridad needs to collect evidence to prove the effectiveness of its CEP approach and learn for continuous improvement/adaptation of the CEP approach. Learning questions are: Is there evidence that our CEP approach is relevant and effective? Are we able to continuously improve our CEP approach, based on the collected evidence? 

4. Capacity: Solidaridad staff needs to learn about the CEP strategy and process, during induction and continuous follow-up training and support in their CEP work. What are the capacity development needs of staff with regard to CEP? Have our capacity development efforts been successful?
Strategic roadmap for measureability Strategic review in order to improve measureability, quality and availability of data, for accountability, and strategic reflection.
Commodity Communities of Change: Textiles In the European Textiles sector, scaling up initiatives like the Dutch and the German agreements is happening with more and more collaboration at European level, as well as the initiatives of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) and the Social and Labour Convergence Project (SLCP). Harmonization between standards and initiatives is key. Our strategy is to connect initiatives and encourage parties to start acting instead of talking. Continued collaboration between the parties that have signed the agreements and, thus, have committed to act, is key. At European level, the promising EU Garment Initiative never took off and did not set a clear European demand or standard for sustainability requirements. But the call for mandatory due diligence at European level puts more and more pressure on the EU commission. Solidaridad will continue to influence the textile strategy of the European Commission through the SAC.
Cotton Ranking Solidaridad developed the Sustainable Cotton Ranking in close cooperation with Pesticides Action Network UK and WWF International. The report created massive online publicity in cotton and textiles media all over the world (potential reach 17 million worldwide). Companies in the top of the ranking have used their scores to publicly highlight their achievements and therewith promote the use of sustainable cotton, by showing that it is possible to make and keep commitments. Solidaridad participated as council (board) member of the Better Cotton Initiative in the design of the new strategy. We advocated for a more farmer-centric approach and the inclusion of a specific gender strategy including more attention for impact measurement. This contributed, among others, to a first time president from the producer constituency and the allocation of more funds for gender impact measurement. Furthermore Solidaridad maintained its network with relevant initiatives like the Textile Exchange, Organic Cotton Roundtable and Cotton 2040 Organic Cotton Accelerator. Together with the Pesticide Action network and WWF, Solidaridad coordinated the publication of the 3rd Sustainable Cotton ranking (published in February 2020).

Commodity Communities of Change: Aquaculture Solidaridad provided technical input to Seafood Watch and the Asian Seafood Improvement Collaborative (ASIC) to develop continuous improvement systems that differentiate between intensively and extensively produced shrimp. The ASC Group Certification methodology was finalized early in 2018. Our presentations at the Global Seafood Expo in Brussels 2017 and the Indian International Seafood Show in Vizagapatam provided a sustainability perspective on the commercial shrimp trade and helped increase awareness among shrimp importers and exporters of the need for and the benefits of greater transparency in the industry.
Brand Awareness, supported by clear positioning Extensive media coverage  was created around the launch of a range of palm oil-free margarine products in the Dutch market. The brand, Flower Farm, spread misleading information about palm oil. Together with the industry for margarine and oils, we filed a complaint at the Dutch Advertising Code Authority, which agreed with us, and made Flower Farm change its branding and advertising. Together with the Pesticide Action network and WWF, Solidaridad coordinated the publication of the 3rd Sustainable Cotton ranking (published in February 2020).
Commodity Communities of Change: Livestock Through its board membership in the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, Solidaridad continues to advocate for the inclusion of challenges Asia and Africa face in this sector. We joined the working group on GHG & deforestation. In this workgroup we focused on the best ways beef companies can engage with indirect suppliers. We actively participated in roundtables in Brazil, Paraguay, Colombia with a focus on land conversion in relation to the environmental agenda. Solidardad also plays an active role in the multi stakeholder initiatives in China and South Africa. In the leather sub-sector we participate in two multi stakeholder initiatives, the Leather Working Group, focussed on the environmental agenda, and the Roundtable on Responsible Leather RTRL where we advocate for the inclusion of social and labour issues and the alignment with the GRSB to avoid duplicity of work. The RTRL has collective learning high on its priorities list and has a pragmatic approach towards making a real difference on the ground. Our participation in the roundtables for beef and leather help us with the engagement of industry players and jointly design local programmes and interventions.

Donare per salvare Donare per salvare The project focuses on improving bone marrow donation data management and on supporting local immunogenetic transplant biology laboratories in bone marrow donor typing testing in South Africa. The project will allow improved testing, thus reducing transplant rejection risks, and will increase the compilation of bone marrow donors into the South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) according to ethnic characteristics.  Support will then be provided to the subsequent creation of the single South African register, which will be linked to hospitals that have soft organ transplant centers in Africa. In the short term it will be possible to have a pool of donors in the country, increasing the possibility for African population to find in a reduced time a compatible donor within the African continent. Gestione dati donazione midollo osseo in Sudafrica e supporto ai laboratori (LAGITRE).  Il progetto intende fornire servizi, prodotti e supporto tecnico-scientifico ai laboratori di immunogenetica e biologia dei trapianti per i test di tipizzazione dei donatori di midollo osseo. Il progetto consentirà di effettuare test di compatibilità ad alta precisione e di inserire i donatori di midollo osseo nel registro di "The Sunflower Fund" secondo le caratteristiche etniche. Sarà quindi fornito il supporto essenziale alla successiva creazione del registro unico sudafricano, che sarà collegato agli ospedali che dispongono di centri di trapianti di organi molli in Africa. Nel breve periodo si potrà disporre di un bacino di donatori nel Paese, incrementando la possibilità per la popolazione africana di trovare nel prossimo futuro un donatore compatibile nel continente.

PROGR2017-2021_SDZ28_INDONESIA De interventie van het ISVI in Indonesië heeft als doelstelling om de arbeidsvoorwaarden van de werknemers in de textiel-, kleding-, schoenen- en lederwarensector te verbeteren. Deze sectoren stellen in Indonesië enorm veel werknemers te werk en worden gekenmerkt door lage lonen en een gebrek aan veiligheidsnormen. Het programma van het ISVI ondersteunt en versterkt de syndicale beweging in deze sectoren en bedrijven in hun inspanningen om de werkomstandigheden te verbeteren. Meer concreet worden drie representatieve Indonesische vakbonden versterkt in hun capaciteiten om betere arbeidsvoorwaarden te realiseren op sector- en bedrijfsniveau: SPN, Garteks en GSBI. Het zijn deze drie vakbonden die de inhoud en de focus van het programma bepaalden via een bottom-up proces gefaciliteerd door het ISVI. Het ISVI werkt in Indonesië nauw samen met de internationale sectorvakbond IndustriALL van het IVV (Internationaal Vakverbond) die de werknemers uit deze sectoren wereldwijd vertegenwoordigt. Zij coördineren de acties en activiteiten van het programma ter plaatse en stellen hun internationale syndicale expertise ter beschikking van de lokale partners. Ten slotte wordt dit programma ondersteund door BBTK-ABVV die werknemers vertegenwoordigt uit dezelfde bevoorradingsketen en dezelfde multinationale ondernemingen als SPN, Garteks en GSBI. BBTK-ABVV versterkt de capaciteiten van de vakbondsmilitanten uit noord en zuid door hen samen te brengen en uitwisseling te organiseren over waardig werk binnen deze multinationale bevoorradingsketen. SPN, Garteks en GSBI versterken en verbeteren de organisatievan de vakbondsbeweging binnen de TGSL (‘Textile Garment Shoes & Leather’) bevoorradingsketen met het oog op het verdedigen en opeisen van betere en veiligere arbeidsvoorwaarden voor de werknemers van deze bevoorradingsketen.
