EU/Closing the Gap: Community-based Potato Project/Fida International The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the stabilization process of food production and access to food in food insecure regions in Democratic People?s Republic of Korea. The DPRK has been experiencing prolonged food shortages and the imp

gh strengthening the existing agricultural system in DPRK by supporting farms in improving the processes which contribute to an effective seed potato production chain. The project aims not only to improve this agricultural output through better quality see
d potato the introduction of improved agricultural techniques and better storage facilities but also to build the capacity of agricultural staff and farmers through training on-the-job capacity building and practical demonstrations.The key stakeholder grou
ps are five cooperative farms in the Jongju District. The number of final beneficiaries is estimated at 190000 persons i.e. all the households in the project district including the cooperative farm households. The final beneficiaries will be those who bene

Capacity Building for Emission Measurements in Uruguay VTT/LATU VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Laboratorio Tecnolocigo de Uruguay LATU have presented a joint project proposal for developing the capacities for emission measurements in Uruguay.  The planned cooperation will be carried out as institutional c
apacity building project (ICI). The current project is based on previous cooperation between VTT and LATU in 2007-2008 focusing on emission measurements after which VTT and LATU have been looking for a suitable funding instrument to continue the cooperatio
n. The relevance of the emission measurement development need is increasing with the various pulp mill plants existing and planned in Uruguay. There is a lack of capacity at the national level in Uruguay to perform emission measurements. Hence the control 
agency (Ministry of Housing Land and Environment) is reluctant to promulgate generic emission standards due to the lack of official and readily available capacity to enforce the regulation. Uruguay needs its own solid capacity in emission measurements and 
quality assurance of automated measuring system.  The overall objective of the project is to improve the level of emission monitoring for industrial sources as well as vehicle emissions raise the level of emission measurements in Uruguay close to internati
onal level and develop the system towards more harmonized measuring policies and procedures nationwide. The project purpose is to improve the competencies of emission measurements of LATU. The project will concentrate on training the LATU experts on specif
ic measurement methods for particulates gaseous components as well as dioxins/furans and heavy metals. Furthermore different determination techniques and methods will be taught to tackle monitoring and control of odour from different sources as well as dev
elop measurement methods for vehicle emissions and regulation related to these emissions. The project partners are VTT and LATU. Duration of the project is 3 years 2012-2014 and budget 400.000 Euros.

Fruit tree cropping in villages of the Lawra-region The goal in the project is to create local potential for sustainable fruit tree management. Planted trees will provide harvest in the end of the dry season when food is scarce. The effect of malnutrition is worst in the most vulnerable groups: amongst chil
dren elderly and sick. Vitamins and nutritients from fruits are important addition to dry season nutrition intake. Fruit trees will be planted in depleted farm lands which are otherwise out of use. This will lead to reforestation in areas where the tree co
ver is now very low. Productive fruit tree is such a valuable asset for a farmer that it won't be cut but in an emergency so the project will sustainably increase carbon sequestration in the trees of the area. The main method of action is planting cashew a
nd mango trees in villages that are capable of protecting the trees from fire and wandering animals. In our previous projects in the area we have reinforced fire control in 10 villages. From these 10 villages we will choose 500 beneficiary families or indi
viduals through applications. We will also construct a tree nursery for seedling production which we expect to cover it's operational costs in second or third year. The first batch of seedlings for planting in three first villages in the first year will be
 bought from nearby Burkina Faso as there is no tree nursery in the nearby area. Second year will see the project implementation in three to four other villages for which the seedlings will be supplied by tree nursery production. In the third year we expec
t the biggest trees will start to produce fruit. Also we will start the project in the remaining villages re-plant in places where dead trees have occurred and if tree seedling production allows also plant in new communities which are ready to take necessa
ry care of the trees.Main actions:1. Selecting beneficiaries that fulfill the requirements.2. Organizing trainings about nutritional benefits of fruit fruit tree care and fire control.3. Establishing a tree nursery.4. Organizing tree plantings.5. Providing
 supportive actions: securing planting of seedlings acquiring seedlings tools and necessities organizing monitoring of the project.The crosscutting objective of improving position of marginalized groups is one main goal of the project. Marginalized groups 
are most vulnerable to malnutrition so these groups also benefit most of the nutritional improvement.
