Water Management Infrastructure Bhola District (O&M Phase) River bank erosion is a big problem for Bhola. The dikes around the polders provide protection against normal high water levels but the height and strength of the dikes is often not sufficient to withstand surges caused by cyclones. If current water management structures are not upgraded and reinforced breaches caused by cyclonic surge and wave action are to be expected in the future making Bhola practicably inhabitable in the longer term.The project aims to substantially increase safety and security for the Bhola community by improving the water management infrastructure. The project is defined as the development construction and implementation of a complete rehabilitation of the water management structure of the Island of Bhola (with a surface area of approximately 332,500 ha and over 1.6 million inhabitants) in Southern Bangladesh. The main elements or the project are: reinforcement of 200 km embankment dikes protecting Bhola integration of a dike monitoring system building 4 cross dams with lengths of approximately 750 m, 1,000 m, 1,500 m and 1,250 m and the training of local operators. It is expected that at least 1 million inhabitants of Bhola will benefit from this project.
Steans Beans Steans Beans is a Amsterdam & Nairobi based coffee roaster. Steans has been working  with Liza Coffee Washing Station in Rwanda since 2015. Liza Coffee Washing Station (coffee beans from the surrounding areas of Kagarama, Mururu, Rusizi, Iburengerazuba in Rwanda) supports smallholder coffee farmers to produce higher quality grade of coffee, which is incentivized by paying higher prices and coffee knowledge training. The processing of coffee following harvest normally requires the use of substantial amounts of clean water and water availability has year on year become increasingly challenging in East Africa’s coffee sector due to climate change and increasing population factors. In collaboration with Liza CWS, Steans Beans started experimental processing of naturally processed coffee in 2018. Naturally processed coffee uses minimal water to process compared to the current norm of 140 litres of water per cup of coffee. Sakami Coffee is located in Western Kenya. Steans Beans has been working with Sakami coffee since 2020. In partnership with the Dutch coffee trader, This Side Up, Steans Beans was in 2020 for the first time able to export coffee (produced by Sakami & surrounding artisanal coffee farmers) directly to the Netherlands rather than through the more complex route involving the coffee auction, middle men and marketing companies, all of which involve extra cost and longer lead times in getting shipments to destination. Sakami’s  mission is to promote their coffee farming in a different part of the country and changing the way Kenyan coffee bean production and trading is currently done. GloriSteans Beans has established a close cooperation with both Sakami and the smallholder coffee farmers that surround their farm. Sakami coffee also focuses on the natural processing of coffee to reduce the water needed for the processing of the coffee beans. Access to clean water is becoming challenging in East Africa and Sakami is constantly looking for innovative ways to ensure their environmental impact can be decreased. Both a social and environmental ethos are building blocks of their companies mission. Via a pre-financing loan Steans Beans will be able to import a container of coffee from both Rwanda and Kenya, supporting the linked smallholder farmers.

Soulskill Commercial Pilot in India India has an estimated 69 million white collar working professionals and this number is expected to grow into more than 100 million professionals. Conventional recruitment platforms and service providers prioritise past credentials of each candidate over and above their actual skills and aspirations, often resulting in young professionals being disadvantaged by the current recruitment systems, leading to economic and social negative impact, limited upward mobility and often mismatches between candidates and companies. Recruiters need more effective ways to source and shortlist candidates to better meet the needs of their clients. Soulskill.com, a Dutch-Indian content recruitment platform, offers a solution that addresses these issues with the potential to positively impact both young job seekers and employers, in particular for matching freelance content creators with start-ups and SMEs in the media and eCommerce industry. To prepare for future investments in India, Technical Assistance (DGGF-TA) provided support to Soulskill.com and its subsidiary Corecred Technologies to test the commercial viability of the Soulskill platform with actual users & clients across India (with a focus on the metro cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore). The project included testing the platform 15,000+ test users, both job seekers and employees, finding paying clients and develop a bankable business plan for further investments. The project was successful and supported 10 direct jobs, 35 indirect jobs, trained 5 people regarding software engineering and has led to a validated business plan. Furthermore, it resulted in 5 paying clients in India, including leading consumer media platforms. Further investments are currently being prepared and may result in 25+ paying jobs and 1,000+ indirect jobs (for freelance content creators), over the next 2 years.

Improving the public transport infrastructure in Lubumbashi (Development Phase) Lubumbashi the second largest city of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) with 1.3 million inhabitants has undergone fast urbanisation with an extensive periphery. A functioning public transport system is lacking. Currently, only private informal minibus transport services are available lacking good organisation and quality having no scheduling and are hardly controlled or regulated by authorities. Services are unreliable and during rush-hours expensive.The project aims to contribute to a well functioning public transport system in Lubumbashi. The project consists of the design of a public bus transport system creation of a legal entity for management and exploitation, training of the operator and acquisition of busses spare parts bus stops and facilities. The project would lead to improved access to and use of the infrastructure for people/households as well as the private sector. A well-structured reliable and affordable public mass transport bus service will improve the transport situation for about 300,000 to 400,000 existing users while another 100,000 to 200,000 new users are expected.

Sustainable Water and Sanitation for Indigent Communities (Development Phase) Around 800,000 inhabitants of the Municipality of eThekwini live in informal settlements where houses are of inferior quality and basic infrastructure including notably water and sanitation are lacking. The project provides a solution to the problem of inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure by providing sanitation to 754,000 poor people living in informal settlements in the municipality of eThekwini in the form of 1676 ablution blocks (for male and female) in these areas over a 3-years period. These ablution blocks will provide first time direct access to clean water for a large part of the population in these areas thus contributing to the improvement of the living conditions of these people. The ablution blocks provide a flexible solution which is suitable for informal settlements. They can be easily relocated to another area when new infrastructure is in place. Due to an enormous growth in informal settlements in recent years there is also a need for sanitation facilities.The needed volume of water  for these ablution blocks (32,000 m3/day) will be provided through the reduction of Non Revenue Water (water leakage) also achieved through activities under the ORIO project application. This reduction of NRW is needed because of the scarcity of water at this moment since the bulk supplier (Umgeni Water) is currently facing capacity constraints. The NRW volume will decrease during the project from approximately 34 to 25 percent and as a consequence an additional volume of water is freed up for the new ablution blocks (at a level of 32,000 m3/day).
