Public Private Partnership Macadamia value chain enhancement Malawi is a leading producer of Macadamia nuts, mainly by large farms. Only 1% is produced by smallholders. Partners want to enlarge the involvement of smallholders in Macadamia nut production. Their theory is that smallholders are not attracted to Macadamia nut production due to lack of access to good planting material, knowledge of production techniques, and the market.The partnership will supply better planting material through Sable Farming Ltd and train 3,000 farmers (DAPP Malawi) through a system of Farmer Clubs. Furthermore, they will develop a macadamia agronomy and management module at the Agricultural course of the Mikolongwe Vocational Training College to secure the capacity. The project will develop four buying and storage centres and expand the processing facilities. Through this approach, the smallholder farmers will gain skills and knowledge, work with the appropriate instruments, have reliable access to fair market conform prices, and have access to planting materials. As a result, they will improve their annual income and self-reliance. The project aims to connect smallholder farmers and macadamia nut producers to the Macadamia nut value chain and improve each link to the chain.
Technical cooperation related to the Integrated Climate Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods loan program In June 2016, the World Bank worked with the GoV to prepare the $310 million Mekong Delta Integrated Climate Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods (MD_ICRSL) Project – which built up from the principles and visioning cone in the Dutch-financed Mekong Delta Plan (2103). During the course of the World Bank project preparation, the assistance of the Netherlands was actualized through the deployment of a four person Dutch expert team --- to provide just-in-time analysis of specific sub-projects --- as part of the Partners for Water program. This technical assistance proved to be critical in making design more innovative, and introducing elements of a multisector and integrated approach, while also adhering to the principles of adaptive delta management. The World Bank requested the Netherlands to support through a similar Dutch expert team to help the government counterparts in the second phase sub-projects. The objectives of the Team were: -	To advise the World Bank and project owners on alignment with the long-term strategy for sustainable development of the Mekong Delta as formulated in the Mekong Delta Plan and subsequent activities;-	To improve the quality and design of the subprojects and, if necessary, stress the need for alternative projects if the subprojects have no, or insufficient added value;-	To enhance the quality of planned monitoring and evaluation in the execution phase of the project.The expert team was able to influence the design of projects and supported the alignment of the ICRSL projects to the long term vision for the Mekong Delta and principles of the Mekong Delta Plan.This project is conducted in cooperation with: Wageningen UR, Climate Sense, World Bank.

Implementing modern hydraulic systems in India for smart waste disposal solutions The objective for Bakker Hydraulic Products is to realize a transition from manual handling to automatic handling in the field of smart waste disposal solutions in India. Bakker Hydraulic will cooperate with a local Indian company. As Indian cities grow in number and size, the problem of trash disposal is assuming alarming proportions. Huge quantities of garbage produced by Indian cities pose a serious health problem. Most cities do not have proper arrangements for garbage disposal and the existing landfills are full to the brim. These landfills are hotbeds of disease and innumerable poisons leaking into their surroundings. Manual handling of such waste leads to several diseases like dysentery, malaria, plague, jaundice, diarrhea, typhoid, etc.Due to the growth of the population, the government, states and municipalities have to invest and improve themselves on efficient waste management. Urban India generates 188,500 tons per day (68.8 million tons per year) of municipal solid waste (MSW). It is expected that MSW generation levels are expected to double by 2025.The government of India has come up with initiatives like "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan", "Smart city mission" to incorporate best practices into their system to create a clean India. A programme that creates augmentation of capacity for Urban Local Bodies and Urban Development Ministries. The local Indian company wants to be a key player in this and would provide tremendous scope for Bakker Hydraulic Products B.V. and the company to showcase them our systems. The demonstration is two-fold. Modern hydraulic products are demonstrated.

Capacity building South Africa The challenge of Gauteng province is to deal with an anticipated population growth to about 17-23 million inhabitants in 2030. Safe and nutritious food supply must be guaranteed, preferably from local production which creates jobs in the regional value chains.To provide practical training for students as well as for small growers, three locations of (emerging) farmers and related partners with appropriate facilities have been identified in Gauteng province and surrounding area. Traditional training at school will be combined with practical work and experiences at the facilities of Buhle Academy, Qutom Farms and Westrand Vocational Training Centre (GDARD). These local partners are committed to teach and to be taught. They play a role in professionalising the next generation of farmers but they acknowledge that they need additional training themselves for that. Therefore the goal of the project is to improve the overall practical training capacity and quality, to realize self-supporting, business oriented , structures and training and capacity building and to structure training and education in such ways that students and (small emerging) growers will benefit.The result is a structured training and education programme within the existing education programmes of Buhle Academy and Westrand Academy. In the long run this results in a local financially self-supporting extension service, facilitating and supporting the horticultural clusters in the region.The aim of this Transition Facility project consists of offering two types of training:1.	Train the trainers (15 trainers) . This will result in BTEC accreditation for the trainers on level 3 (proficiency). 2.	Training of students and farmers (370). This will result in BTEC level 1 (basic knowledge) needed for growing in a protected environment.The project was conducted by Delphy B.V., Lentiz Onderwijsgroep and GreenQ B.V. The Dutch and South African partners are now working on setting up a Gauteng horticultural Skills Academy. They aim to train 450 students a year.

Desk Study Water availability Yemen At present, Yemen depends for 90% on food imports to meet its food requirements to feed the population. As part of the comprehensive famine response, the UN aims to stimulate local agriculture and fisheries to reduce dependency on food imports, to increase jobs and income, and to reduce emergency food assistance.Yemen is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world. It is estimated that local agriculture takes up 90% of Yemen’s current water consumption. From this perspective, it is clear that local agriculture and water availability go hand in hand and must be tackled simultaneously.While the current conflict has markedly increased Yemen’s water scarcity, Yemen was one of the world’s most severely water-stressed countries even before the war. The average annual rainfall ranges from 500 to 800 mm in the high lands, 40 to 100 mm in the coastal areas and 50 mm in the desert areas. Yemen has no rivers; it depends on rainwater as well as underground water. The average person in the Middle East has 1,250 millimetres (mm) of water per year, yet the average person in Yemen has 140 mm of water per year. The World Bank estimates that the ground water table sinks by six metres per year.It is reported that groundwater abstraction in the Sana’a basin is four times higher than its recharge, and if this trend continues, Sana’a may become the world's first capital to run out of water by 2023.A study on all recent available reports on ground water use should map the current and future water resources in Yemen. The study will comprise the following:1.	Inventory of available reports and studies on identified water sources, water availability, source development and production (volumes).2.	Assessment of the current and planned (drinking) water infrastructure projects for the water supply in Yemen.3.	Insights and indications of potential exploration and extraction volumes, including treatment, distribution and required (infrastructure) investments.4.	Analysis of baseline and long-term forecasting studies of water demand in Yemen5.	Provision of an overview of the current and future water availability.6.	Presentation of the most relevant data and information in Geographic Information System (GIS)-generated and visually attractive maps of Yemen, showing location of existing water sources, planned development areas as well as potential surface water and groundwater sources, including indications of current and potential production volumes.7.	Preliminary policy recommendations in relation to water governance that can be implemented under the current circumstances in Yemen.8.	Recommendations for follow-up research and actions in relation to technical aspects such as improved recharge, monitoring, mapping, water harvesting and data and information gaps.
