Forest Governance Project:  agroforestry communities, Honduras Our land, Our forest The Forest Governance Project, financed by the European Union, is developed in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, by a consortium of indigenous and community based organizations led by ICCO. In the Honduran regions of Olancho, Comayagua, Gracias a Dios and Choluteca, it is implemented with the support of FEPROAH, to strengthen operational capacities of agroforestry communities and their effective involvement in forest governance and sustainable management. The Federation of Agroforestry Producers of Honduras (FEPROAH) is a community association that has 49 affiliated organizations, including agroforestry cooperatives located in the departments of Olancho, Gracias a Dios, Comayagua, Francisco Morazan, Yoro, El Paraiso, Santa Barbara, Atlantida and Choluteca.

FEPROAH has more than 15 years of experience defending the rights of forest communities and has developed exemplary self-management and sustainable forest management processes, which have been  recognized internationally.

From community forestry companies, these organizations  have generated experiences of wood production with direct socio-economic benefits for the communities, while simultaneously achieving environmental objectives, such as forest conservation, landscape restoration and watershed protection, among others. FEPROAH has assumed a key role in the expansion of rights, through participation and dialogue in various processes, such as the Forestry Law of 2007 that established a new mechanism for the recognition of community rights. 

As a representative of grassroots agroforestry production organizations, political advocacy is one of the main functions of FEPROAH. It is a key player actively participating in national forest governance processes such as VPA FLEGT, the National REDD plus Strategy, the National Strategy for the Restoration of Productive Landscapes.
Increasing Rice Farmers' income in Central Java Strengthening Farmer Associations for Marketing Rice The demand for rice in Indonesia is growing from year to year, whereas production is slowly decreasing. Farmers in Central Java are able to increase their supply, however, they produce low quality rice and face many production challenges. In response to this, ICCO Cooperation has established a public private partnership (PPP). Members train and coach 10,000 farmers in using certified seeds, organic fertilizers, and pesticides so as to improve the production and marketing of high premium rice. Indonesian rice farmers have a weak position in the supply chain. Simultaneously it is difficult to enter new markets independently. The farmers can now join a so-called LDPM, a business organisation of rice farmers. This union increases their chance of strengthening their individual position.

Subsidy
An LDPM receives government funding as part of the Facility for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Food Security (FDOV), which is a program of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl). An LDPM assists their members and is responsible for the procurement and marketing of rice. However, there is room for improvement. The LDPMs need further professionalization to become strong business organizations with know-how, capabilities, and influence. The next step is to further develop a B2B relationship among its value chain stakeholders, and to take the financial and marketing capacities to a higher level.

Public Private Partnership
ICCO has identified potential public and private partners to improve the production and marketing of high premium rice in Central Java. The PPP consists of 1 government body, 3 private sectors, and 3 NGOs. Objective of the PPP is program implementation, training, motivation, and coaching of 10,000 farmers to use certified seeds and organic fertilizers and pesticides amongst others. Other topics that are addressed are entrepreneurship, business plan development, institutional management, networking, and marketing.

LDPM program can make a difference
Once an LDPM becomes a strong business organization, farmers can free ride on their know-how, capabilities and influence. The program offers special attention to women. Their work in the harvesting and post-harvesting period is all hand-labor and largely underpaid. It will strengthen their position if they become the owner of harvest equipment.
Karenni Public Participation in Peace Process (K-4P) Karenni Public Participation in Peace Process This project aims to build awareness of youth and village/ward administrators (in 48 villages/wards in Karenni State) on the formal peace process and empower the aforementioned target groups to keep other communities informed & speak out their priority peace needs  in a relaxed and supportive environment. In collaboration with other peacebuilding initiatives, this project will organise/disseminate a series of training, attention-catching events/movements and attractive IECs, news updates, etc. Building on the ���Strengthening civil society���s role in the peace process in Kayah State��� project, this phase II ���Karenni Public Participation in Peace Process (K-4P)��� project aims to realize a more in-depth understanding of key peace needs of the people in Karenni (Kayah) State. It aims to inform more than 64 villages and wards about the peace process, the role of the people themselves as well as others, and it also aims to bring in-depth understanding of the issues in Karenni state to the different peace process key actors in Karenni State, namely the Government of Myanmar and the Karenni State Hluttaw and Government, Karenni Ethnic Armed Organisations and their administrative arms, CSOs and communities, for action on key peace issues and supporting peace. Similar to its predecessor, the project is directly related to Karenni���s pending signing of the national ceasefire agreement and the political dialogue that would then follow. The project team seeks to be a conduit for peace process information sharing in Karenni State, seeking to gather information from villagers on peace needs but also share information on the peace process and their potential to contribute to this in a manner and language that is beneficial to the people. The project also aims to contribute directly to the peace process by advocating and lobbying with peace process key stakeholders and making them aware of the issues at the grassroots level through delivering "peace stories", a peace film and following up on peace on the ground by regularly conducting peace surveys and spreading the findings. The project is very focused on empowering villagers by working with active and enthusiastic individuals (this project address them as 'Peace Champions') to inform and enlighten people in 64 villages and wards in Karenni about the peace process and also by enabling people on the ground to input into the peace process by gathering peace stories, by monitoring progress on peace through a participatory peace survey and by developing numerous information/film/visual materials to disseminate in villages as well as upwards to the State and Union key peace actors. To enable CSOs and PCs to disseminate information on the peace process and to gather stories and surveys and develop it into useful materials, the project will start off with several Skills & Technical trainings for both the 5 CSOs as well as 80 PCs.
Human Security Approach Coordination and administration A Human Security Approach to adress the roots causes of conflict in Mali is a four years programme (2017- 2020) funded by  Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affaires. The Programme is implemented by a Consortium of three International NGOs, NCA, ICCO and HSC, with 11 implementing parners. The programme intervene in 34 communes of the regions of Mopti, Tombouctou and Gao. The interventions cover aslo Bamako at national level. Since 2012, Mali has experienced an unprecedented socio-political crisis marked by a coup d'état and the occupation of many of its northern territory by armed groups. This crisis has negatively affected people's living conditions and exacerbated the already fragile security conditions. This situation of instability has weakened the search for ways and means to tackle the country's major development challenges, particularly those linked to the fight against poverty, and good governance.

The return to the constitutional order through the election of a new President in 2014 has contributed to laying the ground for national reconciliation, and improving the justice and the security sector. Yet, despite these positive developments, important challenges remain in the northern regions. The living conditions of the population especially the security of the population has substantially deteriorated. More importantly, there is a pressing need for inclusive mechanisms and frameworks for dialogue and reconciliation to address the root causes of the conflict.

It is within this context that ICCO Cooperation, in consortium with the Norwegian Church Aid and Human Security Collective, decided to implement a program entitled a Human Security Approach to Addressing the Root Causes of Conflict and Violence in Mali. 
ICCO will manage and coordinate the contract with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Hunger Response in Ethiopia (SHO-funding) Nutrition services and access to water for drought affected communities This project improves access to nutrition services and access to water  through rehabilitation of 6 water schemes for drought affected communities in Meda Walabu.  Furthermore community structures are strengthened to manage the rehabilitated water points. The total population of the Madda Wolabu district is 112,078 people (58,280 male and 58,260 female). The district is categorized as pastoral and the major economic activity is livestock rearing with high population of cattle, goats and camel. Apart from scarcity of water, the recurrent drought is associated with crop pests & diseases resulting in crop failure. Livestock diseases and shortage of pasture contributed to low productivity and livestock deaths. Because of the above mentioned situations, many people became vulnerable to periodic shocks and are exposed to food shortage, and most affected groups are small children, pregnant women and lactating mothers.

DRF ETJR II EECMY DRF ETJR II Since the beginning of 2015, the Government of Ethiopia has been conducting assessments on food security and availability on a quarterly basis through the country. Based on HRD 2016 and further needs assessments by the two partners of ICCO/Act Alliance, EECMY and Hundee, the program focuses on strategic objective 1 of the HRD by providing emergency food aid to save lives and reduce morbidity related to drought. The HRD 2016 targets 10,2 million people for food assistance . Ethiopian Humanitarian Country Team (EHCT), recognizing the slow-onset natural disaster caused by global EI Niño phenomena, has significantly ramped up internal efforts to respond to the needs of people. The Government of Ethiopia so far has collected 4 Billion Ethiopian Birr (USD 192 Million) and has taken the lead to respond to food and non-food requirements. The fore, the Ethiopia Humanitarian Country team  (EHCT) calls for increased engagement from the International Donor community to meet these aims. Even though, Ethiopia's GPD is regressively progressing in which the agriculture sector is assumed to be jumped from 6.0% to 11% together with improving the past image of the country, unpredictable challenge of seasonal food shortage occurred.  The Mid- year review of Ethiopian Humanitarian Requirements Documents (HRD) issued in April 2016, noted increases in humanitarian need across several lifesaving sectors, notably food assistance, Targeted Supplementary Food (TSF), nutrition,  access to potable water and deaths, destroying livelihoods and contributing to food insecurity. Similarly, agriculture and livelihoods official reports have sharply raised this figure to a total of 8.2 million in the need of emergency assistance at national level; The Federal Government of Ethiopia council approve DRMFSS request to move the annual meher assessment from November to October to ensure that all needful communities are quickly included and help form the basis of the government's led interagency HRD for 2016.  Factors contributing to the current crisis are the failed spring belg rains coupled with late, erratic and uneven summer Kiremt rains that are below normal adversely affecting the food security situation. 

The project was set-up as part of ETJR II, a consortium of Dutch NGOs getting funding of MOFA with WVI as lead. On the project: the focus and priorities do address those areas of highest need, also the interventions match with priorities as set by DRA. The project is of good quality, sufficient details are provided on number of outputs and beneficiaries. Also additional explanations on gender, downward accountability and capacity building have been given in the proposal. We worked with EECMY during 2011-2012 humanitarian response with good results. So we know this project is of good quality and with a good implementer, so we can proceed with e.g. pre-financing and contracting.
Accelerating Inclusiveness in Myanmar The ‘Accelerate Inclusiveness in Myanmar’ (AIM) project aims to enable investments in Inclusive Businesses (IBs) in AgTech, FinTech, Health and Education sectors in Myanmar. IBs combine a profitable business model with a measurable positive impact on disadvantaged groups, such as women, youth, people with disabilities, internally displaced peoples (IDPs), people from ethnic areas, or “bottom of the pyramid” (BoP) in general. Our project goal is to make Burmese inclusive business entrepreneurs investment-ready and connect them to potential investors, in order to serve the needs of BoP consumers, and producers, suppliers, farmers, factory workers and employees from disadvantaged groups. We will take a leading role in the development of the IB support ecosystem, aligning our support logically to the services that are already offered in the different locations. 

The project’s objective is to create a platform for Burmese IBs in the AgTech, FinTech, Health and Education sectors for improved access to knowledge, networks, business development services and finance support to expand their businesses. Furthermore, we will be connecting Burmese entrepreneurs to (inter)national investors. For a successful connection to be made, it is key that 
investors and entrepreneurs find each other and start talking. For this to happen, apart from sourcing both investors and entrepreneurs, both need to be educated about the realistic opportunities to come to a fruitful collaboration. Then, entrepreneurs need to have a clear strategy, a clear understanding of their business and its potential, and need a clear understanding of their finances. Finally, the investment facilitation and management on the ground will be crucial to make deals happen successfully. For these three elements to arise in Myanmar, neither an accelerator nor an investment vehicle by itself will be sufficient. In the ideal case, an accelerator with a lot of hands-on one-on-one business development and financial support, linked to an investment vehicle, would step into the market (preferably in a non- exclusive manner: the accelerator would benefit from other investment parties to be present, while the investment vehicle would benefit from other accelerators to be present). The combination of both accelerator and investor roles will put the consortium as a whole in a unique position to catalyze the development of the entrepreneurial and impact investment support eco-system in Myanmar.
Strengthening Agricultural Value Chains for Food Security Jege Ni Jaba One of the ambitions of the Dutch Embassy and the Dutch Government is to improve the food security situation of the Malian people. The Program for Strengthening Agricultural Value Chains for Food Security (PRCA-SA), also commonly referred to as the "Jege Ni Jaba ", has as its main objective the improvement of food security in Mali, without increasing the pressure on the environment (especially water resources), while contributing to the promotion of sensitive layers (women and young people). One of the ambitions of the Dutch Embassy and the Dutch Government is to improve the food security situation of the Malian people. It results from the belief that sufficient access to affordable, good quality food as well as water is essential for development. The Malian context is such that some value chains such as onions and fish seem to have all the necessary conditions to be sufficiently developed for the populations, even the most vulnerable ones. However, they are not produced sufficiently and with good quality. The Program for Strengthening Agricultural Value Chains for Food Security (PRCA-SA), also commonly referred to as the "Jege Ni Jaba ", has as its main objective the improvement of food security in Mali, without increasing the pressure on the environment (especially water resources), while contributing to the promotion of sensitive layers (women and young people).
An integral part of the cooperation policy between Mali and the Netherlands, it emphasizes the importance of the private sector for the sustainable development of the agricultural sector.

To achieve this end, three strategic objectives have been identified:
1. increase the availability of good quality onion and fish at an affordable price throughout the year;
2. increase the income of producers (women and men) and other actors in the shallot-onion and fish-fish value chains;
3. improve the rational use of natural resources (land and water) with the aim of increasing the resilience of production systems.

Specifically, the expected results at the end of the project are:
1. Performance of onion and fish production systems:
a- availability in quantity and quality; water, land and employment productivity;
b-increase of the incomes of the actors of each chain of value;
c- rational use of natural resources (land, water);
d- Improvement of the production links of the two value chains through the facilitation of access to inputs (seeds, fertilizers, fry, fish feed, etc.);
2. Increased post-harvest processing capacity of onions and fish (processing, conservation links);
3. Improved availability of onions and fish over time and in the country
DRA DLJR Ethiopia 2020 - Hundee DRA Desert Locust Ethiopia - DLJR 2020 - Hundee The DRA Desert Locust Joint Response (DLJR) 2020 offers humanitarian assistance to Ethiopians and Somalians whose lives and access to food have been severely affected by the 2019-2020 locust upsurge. The Joint Response (JR) supports life-saving activities and actions to alleviate suffering among the most vulnerable individuals and households. Strategies to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 in the region are integrated in the activities. ICCO with its partners will implement in Ethiopia. The desert locust is considered the most destructive migratory pest in the world as it is highly mobile and feeds
on large quantities of crops. Over 200,000 hectares of cropland in Ethiopia have already fallen prey to what FAO has called the worst locust wave in over 25 years. In Somali, Oromia and SNNPR regions, classified as IPC phase 3 and above, the locusts have put further pressure on already existing urgent food insecurity. Oromia is the country’s largest producer of cereal, but their industry is now heavily impacted as the locusts have specifically attacked green vegetation such as wheat, teff, sorghum and maize. Therefore, loss of harvests in Oromia results in increased food insecurity throughout Ethiopia. The DRA DLJR offers additional assistance to HHs and individuals that are most likely to be left out. These include female-headed, child-headed, labour-poor and HIV/AIDS-affected HHs, as well as PLWs and HHs with very few assets (livestock).

As one of the Dutch organizations part of the DLJR, ICCO together with its local implementing partners (Hundee and EECMY - DASS) will deliver humanitarian assistance in Oromia Region in Ethiopia as part of the Dutch Relief Alliance. This program is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The DLJR offers additional assistance to HHs and individuals that are most likely to be left out. These include female-headed, child-headed, labour-poor and HIV/AIDS-affected HHs, as well as PLWs and HHs with very few assets (livestock). 

Hundee implements in Arero Woreda and mainly focuses on Food Security and Livelihoods, Multi Purpose Cash transfers and Covid-19 related WASH activities.
