OCHA Field activities, Burkina Faso OCHA Field activities, Burkina Faso Even before the pandemic began, 2020 was on track to be the most difficult year of the past decade for Burkina Faso. A succession of shocks linked to conflict and insecurity had driven more than 1 million people from their homes since early 2019.  And for the first time in 10 years, the country saw the re-emergence of critical food insecurity conditions in two provinces of the Sahel region.  Office for the Coordination on Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) gradually increased its capacity to support collective priorities for humanitarian coordination at the national and regional levels, securing dedicated capacity to provide leadership on humanitarian civil-military coordination, community engagement, Accountability to Affected People, Information Management and analysis, and protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA). Avant même le début de la pandémie, 2020 semblait être l'année la plus difficile de la dernière décennie pour le Burkina Faso. Une succession de chocs liés au conflit et à l'insécurité avait poussé plus d'un million de personnes à quitter leur foyer depuis le début de 2019. Et pour la première fois en 10 ans, le pays a vu réapparaître des conditions d'insécurité alimentaire critiques dans deux provinces de la région du Sahel. Le Bureau de la Coordination des Affaires Humanitaires (OCHA) a progressivement augmenté sa capacité à soutenir les priorités collectives en matière de coordination humanitaire aux niveaux national et régional, en obtenant des capacités dédiées pour assurer le leadership en matière de coordination humanitaire civilo-militaire, d'engagement communautaire, de responsabilité envers les personnes affectées, de gestion et d'analyse de l'information, et de protection contre l'exploitation et les abus sexuels (PEAS).

H2O Maghreb The project#s aim is to bring holistic industrial water management practices to Maghreb and MENA regions. It will do so through three distinct channels:  First, a curriculum will be developed on #Aquatronics#, a new and innovative educational concept that combines different professions and specializations related to water and wastewater for civil and industrial (incl. agro-industrial) applications. The curricula will have two audiences: secondary school students and vocational training students with an aim to reach beHaviour change on the importance of water and understanding of the holistic nature or water.  Second, two (2) hubs will be established in order to i) teach and ii) demonstrate water-smart technologies. Aquatronics curricula will be taught at a skills training hub for students at the vocational level. Latest technology will be showcased at a technology demonstration hub, where the private sector will expose the state-of-the-art expertise in the field of water resources management. More specifically, the technology will be presented in the fields of water productivity, water efficiency and water capture and storage.  Third, the Outreach and advocacy component will have two distinctive aims: i) to connect students with employers through career centers and ii) to replicate the model project H2O Maghreb
Morocco green energy transition Confronted with the current multifaceted crisis, Moroccan policy makers recognize the need to adopt an integrated, multidimensional, and coordinated approach to find urgent and innovative solutions to the socio-economic impact of the current crisis and introduce immediate and longer-term measures to protect the most vulnerable, in particular children and women. The crisis, if well managed, also constitutes an opportunity to accelerate the energy transition through the decarbonization of Morocco#s industry, as well as build the resilience and sustainability of the country#s food systems.  To this end, and given the need for a coordinated approach, UNIDO will jointly implement the programme with UNICEF and FAO in Morocco under the framework of the UN Joint SDG Fund Development Emergency Modality. The joint programme working in support of key government efforts, is planning to carry-out a multifaceted assessment of the impact of rising international prices on the country food security, ambitions for carbon free industrial production and protection of the most vulnerable groups.  UNIDO is in charge of energy part of the joint programme. In the first phase, UNIDO will carry out an in-depth assessment of the impact of the crisis on the Moroccan economy overall and key industries to identify the impacts and opportunit

Les résultats recherchés sont une meilleure gestion des ressources naturelles par ces populations et la diversification de leurs revenus. La convention est en phase avec les priorités nationales, notamment le pilier II du Plan Maroc Vert dont la stratégie de développement de l#agriculture s#articule autour de deux piliers : le pilier I qui cible l'agriculture moderne et à forte valeur ajoutée, et le pilier II, dédié aux agriculteurs en situation précaire.
Circular solutions to plastic pollution in Morocco Under the larger GEF 8 Plastic Integrated Program, this child project will complement Morocco#s existing commitment to the systematic transition from the current linear economy model of plastics to a circular economy model.  Primarily, it will support upstream solutions focused on changing materials used and exploring alternatives, an approach that aims at instigating a paradigm shift, whereby the new norm is the use of recycled plastic over virgin plastic. The impact of the importation of plastics will be tackled through the enforcement of stricter regulations with respect to single-use plastics and pollutants.  The project will support the Moroccan plastics industry who are ready to comply, stimulating their engagement to anticipate the need for highly recyclable materials. Partnerships with existing UNIDO implemented projects in Morocco are expected to bring public-private, cross-sector, interagency collaborations, and additional innovative financing. The actions will extend along the whole value chain, through the creation of standards to tackle pollutants in food and beverage pla stics. Policy instruments will be revised, starting with already existing measures and ongoing work on the national waste legislation, thus supporting policy coherence across varying government agencies and business sectors.

Enhancing enabling environment to support the decarbonisation of Moroccan steel production through the application of green hydrogen The current readiness project aims to contribute to enhancing the enabling environment of the deployment of green hydrogen in the steel production to contribute to the decarbonisation of the sector. The project aims to address the lack of knowledge, engagement, and insufficient capacity through different assessments, studies, engagement activities and workshops. This will support strengthening the capacity of Moroccan stakeholders relevant for the application of green hydrogen in industry and in steel production, including policymakers through engagement activities, knowledge dissemination and development of studies and documents. The lack of bankable projects and the lack of feasibility studies will be tackled by supporting the development of pre-feasibility assessments for domestic hydrogen use in steel production as well as further analyses of environmental, social and water-related implications. In addition, the project aims to develop one high-quality GCF Project Concept Note for a large-scale project on the production of green hydrogen and its application in steel-based industrial clusters.

Reducing economic vulnerability for increased stability through industrial skills development and business linkages The online SSS is not in line with donor requirements. Therefore the donor template for JSB 2015 funding has been completed instead.  The proposed project will develop the technical and professional skills of vulnerable youth and women at existing vocational training centres.  The project concept builds upon the country's main priorities and the emerging development regional and national challenges. It is fully aligned with the donor's priorities for the region and the leading role that Morocco could play to ensure regional stability. It also builds upon UNIDO's experience, expertise and presence in the selected region.  The project echoes the growing importance given in the country to technical and vocational training as a catalyst for employment gen eration and sustainable socioeconomic development.  The proposal helps Morocco to transit towards #free, democratic and tolerant society# and therefore aligns with the priorities of Deauville Partnership with Arab Countries in Transition.
