Candax Project Candax Energy Inc. (Candax or the Company) is a small independent oil and gas company mainly focused on Tunisia, and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Candax owns an interest in five oil and gas fields in Tunisia, consisting of the El-Bibane (73.8% net interest), Ezzaouia (31.4%), Robbana (80%), Belli (50%), and Al-Manzah (75%) fields, and one exploration license in Madagascar. Candax seeks to raise funds in order to finance its investment program in Tunisia which aims to enhance production from its mature asset base (currently approximately 320 barrels of oil per day (bopd) on average) by improving reservoir understanding, drilling new wells, and executing other recovery techniques (the Project). With the proposed development program, the Company is expecting to increase production to approximately 700 bopd by the end of 2012, and keep growing at a similar trend over the following years from its existing base, in addition to any acquisition the Company may make. The Project is expected to have the following development impacts: 1.	Value extraction out of mature, marginal fields: The Project involves investments aimed at prolonging the life of mature fields which, given their marginal nature, would otherwise see production decline quickly and be abandoned within the next few years.  2.	Contribution to government revenues: The Project will generate fiscal receipts in the form of royalties, corporate taxes and participation in the production through the Tunisian national oil company ("ETAP").   3.	Demonstration effect: The Project supports a junior oil and gas company with assets in Tunisia. Increase in     production and positive returns to shareholders should incentivize more investors to supply capital for similar ventures in the country that focus on marginal and mature field development.  4.           Preservation and creation of employment: By sustaining production for a longer period in the Company''s mature fields, the Project will maintain current employment levels. Approximately 140 families rely on their income from jobs sourced on these fields. Furthermore, the Company is committed to create managerial positions in its Tunisian offices as well as operating positions for the development of the fields. 5.	Generating additional business for local and national suppliers: Candax''s local procurement will have a positive impact on regional economic activity through the purchase of equipment, products and services. 6.            Improve Tunisia''s energy account trading balance: Tunisia currently has a negative energy account trading balance. Production from the Project will help alleviate the energy trade deficit and raise foreign exchange earnings.   The following indicators will be tracked throughout the life of the Project: (a) Annual output levels; (b) Tax and other payments made to government; (c) Employment; and (d) Domestic purchases (US$).

La Joie de Hicha SA The proposed investment is a package of 68.1 million to support the expansion of La Joie de Hicha S.A (Hicha), a subsidiary of Agro Care Projecten B.V. (ACP or the Company) in Tunisia. IFC would finance the second phase of the Hichas two-phase development in Akarit, Tunisia, which includes (i) the construction of glass greenhouses; (ii) a desalination plant; (iii) a combined heat and power system; and (iv) a warehouse. IFC expects the Project to generate positive environmental effects through improved water use efficiency as well as economy wide effects in terms of value added and job creation to the Tunisian economy. Beyond the Project, IFC anticipates that the investment will contribute to promoting the resilience of agribusiness sector in the country by demonstrating the feasibility of using desalinated water as an alternative water supply source for agriculture.
TAV Tunisia Tunisias existing airports are either already saturated (Monastir handled 4.2 mn passagers for a nominal capacity of 3.5 mn) or nearing saturation (Tunis Carthage airport). Due to growing tourism, further encouraged by the current negotiations on an open skies agreement with Europe as well as major tourism and industrial developments planned to sustain the countrys growth, the upgrade and expansion of Tunisias airport infrastructure is a key Government priority.   In 2007, the Government of Tunisia awarded two concessions to TAV of Turkey:   - a concession to upgrade and operate the Monastir airport, and  - a concession to build, finance and operate a new airport at Enfidha, also located in the Central Eastern part of Tunisia, 45 km away from the Monastir airport.   Both airports will serve the major tourism areas of Monastir, Sousse and Hammamet, located on the Mediterranean coast.  The decision to build a new airport at Enfidha stemmed from the fact that the Monastir airport cannot be expanded on site, owing to geographical and environmental constraints.  TAV created TAV Tunisie, a special purpose company which will be the concessionaire of the two airports.  The proposed project is to finance:   - the concession for the construction and operation of a new international airport at Enfidha, for an initial capacity of 7 million passengers and  - the concession for the operation of the existing Monastir international airport (4.2 million passengers in 2006).     The project, with total costs of approx EUR560 million (approximately equivalent to $840 million), will be one the largest recent private sector investments in Tunisia and the 1st airport private sector concession in the Maghreb region. The proposed project is a central element of Tunisias growth strategy: by expanding and modernizing the airport infrastructure of Tunisia, the project is expected to directly contribute to the success of the Tunisias economic strategy, which is built on two pillars:   - export-oriented industrialization, in particular with a specialization in low cost light manufacturing and  - tourism development, with major efforts underway by the Tunisian Government to increase tourist arrival numbers and re-position Tunisia towards the higher end of the market.   The project furthers both those goals as:   - it will be critical to the development of the Enfidha industrial district and  - it will considerably expand Tunisias tourism capacity by offering a new gateway to Tunisia, as the Monastir airport has reached saturation.   The project, one of the largest private sector investments in Tunisia in recent years, will also be the 1st private airport concession in the Maghreb region and is a key factor in the success of the Tunisian Governments PPP strategy in infrastructure.
CHO Tunisia CHO Group, (CHO or the Company), was established in 1996 and is a leading olive oil producer in Tunisia, accounting for approximately 20% of the countrys olive oil exports. All of the Companys facilities are located in the region of Sfax, Tunisia, and it retains a workforce of 405 employees.  The proposed Project will finance permanent working capital and capital expenditures to support the Companys strategy to increase its sales of bottled olive oil. (1) Value addition: By allowing CHO to further develop its exports of branded products, the Project will allow the Company to capture more value add from the olive oil supply chain, and may provide demonstration impact for other Tunisian companies to develop sales of bottled oil as well. (2) Farmers and rural employment. The Company sources olives from local farmers (50,000 tons/year) and olive oil from small olive processing mills (45,000 tons/year). In addition, the Company purchases, and processes about 30% of Tunisia''s production of pomace waste from mills. By growing its business, the Company will continue to support farmers and the private sector in rural areas. (3) Jobs. The Project is expected to support approximately 405 direct jobs and create approximately 50 additional direct jobs in the next five years.

Het hoger onderwijs als hefboom voor globale rechtvaardigheid Diverse groups of students in higher education have the necessary global citizenship skills to grasp questions concerning global justice from diverse perspectives and take action for this on an individual and collective level, in collaboration with diverse local and international actors This outcome wants to make students in Flemish higher education aware of their role as global citizens who are committed to global justice. As critical and conscientious global citizens they contribute to sustainable international collaboration and global justice. To achieve this, we want to strengthen their global citizenship skills. Within these skills, we distinguish between different subsets of skills: analysing global challenges, developing critical vision, feeling involved in global justice, respecting diversity and promoting inclusiveness through actions and developing and executing campaigns. Within higher education, we reach students with trainings on global citizenship and preparation days for international mobility. We also focus on incoming students through orientation and support workshops. We also set up and support extracurricular participative student projects, in which students work on specific current challenges regarding diversity, decolonisation, intersectionality and gender through campaigning and advocacy. We also collaborate with professors, policymakers, staff members from international offices and researchers to reinforce the organisational and intellectual back-end of higher education. We intend to reach them with seminars, colloquia, and tailor-made workshops. Finally, through our collaboration with researchers we want to stimulate innovation of international mobility and globale justice. This research can function as a starting point for informed and evidence-based policy making for international mobility. The target audience for the applied output of this research are policy makers within higher education institutions. Furthermore, we want to contribute to translating the knowledge and insights of this research in applicable educational tools so the knowledge and insight can be valorised in practice and contribute to sustainable international mobility and global justice.
