Central African Republic - Preparation activities of the Rural Infrastructure Rehabilitation Support Project II République centrafricaine - Activités de préparation du projet d’appui à la réhabilitation des infrastructures rurales II Le Projet d’appui à la réhabilitation d’infrastructures rurales s’inscrit dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre du volet développement rural du DSRP visant à assurer la sécurité alimentaire et réduire la pauvreté en milieu rural en particulier. Le secteur agricole constitue la base de l’économie de la République centrafricaine (RCA). Il occupe plus de 75 % de la population active et participe pour plus de 50 % au PIB.
Cependant, malgré ses grandes potentialités, l’agriculture centrafricaine demeure sous
développée et l’insécurité alimentaire menace plus de 60% de la population. La RCA a connu
plusieurs conflits armés qui ont fortement détruit les infrastructures économiques et sociales du pays. Elle est classée comme Etat fragile par les bailleurs de fonds y compris la Banque. L’exécution du PARIR permet d’améliorer la sécurité alimentaire à travers l’augmentation des disponibilités des produits agricoles sur le marché local et de relancer l’économie d’une manière générale.

Central African Republic - Resilience, Food and Nutrition Security Support Project in Kemo and Ouaka Prefectures (PARSANKO) République Centrafricaine - Projet d'appui à la résilience et à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle dans les préfectures de la Kemo et la Ouaka (PARSANKO) The Resilience, Food and Nutrition Security Support Project in the Prefectures of Kémo and Ouaka (PARSANKO) stems from the top priorities of the Central African Government’s National Recovery and Peace-building Plan (RCPCA) which seeks to revive the economy, increase rural incomes and improve the population’s food and nutrition security by enhancing agricultural and livestock production and rural productivity. The project, which is estimated to cost UA 21.38 million in total (USD 29.51 million), will be implemented over a five-year period from 2021jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Labour Office (ILO) which will respectively support agro-pastoral production and community initiatives. PARSANKO will, in synergy with the various ongoing projects financed by other TFPs, help to build on the lessons learned from an approach that promotes community initiatives to support inclusive and sustainable agricultural sector development. In this context, it will experiment, on a pilot basis: (a) new technologies for increasing productivity; (b) inclusive financing mechanisms; and (c) support for youth entrepreneurship in agricultural sub-sectors. PARSANKO comprises three components, namely: (i) Support for Agropastoral Production; (ii) Support for Community Initiatives; and (iii) Project Management. It will also contribute to mitigating the potential effects and impacts of COVID-19 in the target prefectures as well as enhancing women’s and youth empowerment. Therefore, project beneficiaries will be encouraged to widely adopt best agricultural practices through a significant increase in access to agricultural services. The intensification of beneficiaries’ agropastoral production will also be facilitated by developing or rehabilitating production infrastructure and easing access to factors of production. Le Projet d’Appui à la Résilience et à la Sécurité Alimentaire et Nutritionnelle dans les préfectures de la Kémo et de la Ouaka (PARSANKO) découle des premières priorités du Plan National de Relèvement et de Consolidation de la Paix (RCPCA) du Gouvernement Centrafricain qui a pour objectifs de relancer l’économie, d’accroitre les revenus ruraux, et d’améliorer la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des populations par l’accroissement des productions agricoles et de l’élevage et de la productivité du monde rural. D’un coût total de 21,38 MUC (29,51 M$EU), le projet est programmé pour démarrer en 2021 et sera exécuté sur 5 ans en partenariat avec la FAO et le BIT, respectivement pour l’appui à la production agropastorale et le soutien aux initiatives communautaires. Le PARSANKO, en synergie avec les différents projets en cours financés par les autres PTF, permettra de valoriser les enseignements d’une approche mettant en avant plan les initiatives communautaires pour soutenir le dévelopement inclusif et durable du secteur agricole. Dans ce contexte, il expérimentera à titre pilote : (a) des technologies nouvelles pour l’augmentation de la productivité ; (b) des mécanismes de financement inclusifs et (c) l’appui de l’entreprenariat des jeunes dans les filières agricoles. Le PARSANKO s’articule autour de trois composantes : (i) appui à la production agropastorale, (ii) soutien aux initiatives communautaires, et (iii) gestion du Projet. Il contribue aussi à l’atténuation des effets et impacts probables du COVID-19 dans les prefectures d’intervention ainsi qu’à l’amélioration de l’autonomisation des femmes et des jeunes. Ainsi, les bénéficiaires du projet seront incités à adopter à grande échelle de bonnes pratiques agricoles grace à l’amélioration substantielle de l’accès aux services agricoles. L’intensification de leur production agropastorale sera aussi facilitée par le développement ou la réhabilitation d’infrastructures productives, et un accès de proximité aux facteurs de production. The project’s overall objective is to contribute to improving the living conditions and resilience of vulnerable rural populations. Its aim is to contribute to improving the food and nutrition security of rural populations in Kémo and Ouaka Prefectures. Its specific objective is to increase and diversify agro-pastoral production and improve access to basic services. L’objectif global du projet est de contribuer à améliorer les conditions de vie et la résilience des populations rurales vulnérables. Le but du projet est de contribuer à l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des populations rurales dans les préfectures de la Kémo et de la Ouaka. Plus spécifiquement, le projet vise à augmenter, à diversifier la production agropastorale et à améliorer l’accès aux services de base. Regarding beneficiaries, the project will provide direct support to 500 women/youth enterprises and groups, particularly young, budding or established agricultural entrepreneurs. It will also provide assistance to 47 050 beneficiary households, representing 279 300 people (farmers/stockbreeders, youth/women agricultural and non-agricultural entrepreneurs) in Kémo and Ouaka Prefectures, particularly households facing a crisis and in dire need of assistance, including food (IPC3),households affected by COVID-19 through agricultural input kits and access to water, young people and women without land or livestock, families classified under IPC1&2, particularly those hosting displaced people in production basins.

Central African Republic - Bangui M’poko International Airport Modernisation Support Project – Phase II (PAMAB II) Centrafrique - Projet d’appui à la modernisation de l’aéroport international de Bangui- M'poko (PAMAB-II) The proposed operation is a Transition Support Fund (TSF) grant of UA 8 million to the Central African Republic to finance the Bangui M’Poko Airport Modernisation Support Project – Phase II (PAMAB-II). Successive audits by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC), Agency for the Supervision of Air Safety in Central Africa (ASSA-AC), the French Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) and Airports Council International (ACI) have shown that the Bangui M'Poko airport infrastructure no longer meets the operational needs of a modern international airport especially in terms of space availability, passenger handling, luggage delivery time, facilitation, operator facilities and aircraft parking aprons. The Bank's operation under the PAMAB programme is intended to contribute to developing and modernising aeronautical infrastructure in CAR by upgrading air transport facilities and services at the Bangui/M’Poko international airport. It will be recalled that due to lack of resources in 2019, the project was divided into two phases: (i) Phase 1 consisted in the partial development of the terminal with a UA 1.21 million TSF financing approved in November 2019; and (ii) Phase 2 to complement the first phase and the subject of this operation, structured around airport security, facilitation and signage activities. It will also involve developing an air transport policy paper for CAR. Phase 2 is estimated to cost UA 9.90 million. Implementing PAMAB over the 2020-2023 period will substantially improve the performance of CAR’s air transport sub-sector and the country's profile in civil aviation. Phase II of this project is structured around four (4) components: (i) airport safety and operations; (ii) airport facilitation, signage and security; (iii) support to the air transport sector; and (iv) project management and coordination. Its implementation will help to adjust the airport's capacity to the traffic level and user expectations. Specifically, in the freight zone, it will eventually lead to the inception of air export business that is expected to increase with the development of high-potential and job-generating agricultural sectors. La présente intervention porte sur un don de 8 millions d’UC sur les ressources de la Facilité d'Appui à la Transition (FAT), à la République Centrafricaine, en vue du financement de la phase II du Projet d’Appui à la Modernisation de l’Aéroport de Bangui Mpoko (PAMAB-II). En référence aux audits successifs de l’ Organisation de l'Aviation Civile Internationale (OACI), la Commission Africaine de l’Aviation Civile (CAFAC), l’ Agence de Supervision de la Sécurité Aérienne en Afrique Centrale (ASSA-AC), la Direction Générale de l'aviation Civile (DGAC) Française et l’ Conseil International des Aéroports (ACI), il est relevé que l’infrastructure aéroportuaire de Bangui M’Poko ne répond plus aux besoins d’exploitation d’un aéroport international moderne en termes, notamment, de disponibilité des surfaces, de traitement des passagers, de délai de livraison des bagages, de facilitation, de commodités offertes aux exploitants et de disponibilité de l’aire de stationnement des aéronefs. L’intervention de la Banque, dans le cadre du PAMAB, vise, dans ce contexte, à contribuer, suivant une approche programmatique, au développement et à la modernisation des infrastructures aéronautiques en RCA, à travers, principalement, la mise à niveau des installations et services du transport aérien à l’aéroport international de Bangui/Mpoko. En rappel, du fait d’une insuffisance de ressources en 2019, le projet est articulé en deux phases : (i) une phase 1 consistant en l’aménagement partiel de l’aérogare, financée par la FAT à hauteur de 1,21 MUC et approuvée en novembre 2019 ; (ii) une phase 2, objet de la présente opération, structurée autour d’activités de sureté aéroportuaire, d’une part, et de facilitation, signalétique et sécurité aéroportuaire, en complément de la phase 1, d’autre part. Cette phase inclut, aussi, l’élaboration d’un document de politique du transport aérien en RCA. Le coût estimatif de la phase 2 est évalué à environ 9,90 millions d’unités de compte. L’exécution du PAMAB, sur la période 2020-2023, permettra d’améliorer de façon substantielle les performances du sous-secteur du transport aérien en RCA et l’image du pays en matière d’aviation civile. Le PAMAB, au titre de la phase II objet du présent Projet, est articulé autour de quatre (4) composantes portant sur : (i) la sureté et l’exploitation aéroportuaires ; (ii) la facilitation, la signalétique et la sécurité aéroportuaire ; (iii) l’appui au secteur du transport aérien et (iv) la gestion et la coordination du projet. Sa réalisation permettra d’ajuster les capacités de l’aéroport au niveau du trafic ainsi qu’aux attentes des usagers et des compagnies aériennes. A terme, elle induira, au niveau de la zone fret notamment, l’amorce d’une activité d’exportation par voie aérienne appelée à s’amplifier avec le développement de filières agricoles à fortes potentialités et créatrices d’emplois. The project's overall objective is to contribute to the improvement of air transport safety and security in Central African Republic (CAR). Its sector objective is to consolidate the role of air transport in serving CAR through safe, secure, efficient and quality airport services in line with international standards. The Bank's intervention under PAMAB-II (supplementing PAMAB-I) aims to support CAR to (i) upgrade air transport facilities and services at Bangui/M’Poko International Airport to the required safety and security standards; and (ii) improve the airport platform’s service level. L’objectif général du projet est de contribuer à l’amélioration de la sécurité et de la sûreté du transport aérien en République de Centrafrique (RCA). L’objectif sectoriel du projet est de consolider le rôle du transport aérien pour la desserte de la RCA à travers des services aéroportuaires sécurisés, sûrs, efficaces et de qualité conformes aux standards internationaux. L’intervention de la Banque, dans le cadre du PAMAB-II, en complément au PAMAB-I, vise à apporter un appui à la RCA, pour : (i) mettre les installations et services du transport aérien à l’aéroport international de Bangui/Mpoko aux normes de sécurité et de sûreté, et ; (ii) améliorer le niveau des prestations sur cette plate-forme aéroportuaire. The project's principal beneficiaries include (i) the people of Central African Republic (CAR); (ii) airlines through reduced operating costs; (iii) air transport passengers who will benefit from new air services, greater comfort, regularity and enhanced flight safety; (iv) industrial, commercial and mining companies and services that will be offered new opportunities within the airport; (v) Agency for the Safety of Air Navigation in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) as the airport manager; and (vi) National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Les principaux bénéficiaires du projet sont : (i) la population de la République de Centrafrique (RCA) ; (ii) les compagnies aériennes qui bénéficieront d’une réduction de leurs coûts d'exploitation ; (iii) les passagers du transport aérien qui bénéficieront de nouvelles dessertes aériennes, d’un plus grand confort, d'une meilleure régularité et d’une plus grande sécurité des vols ; (vi) les sociétés industrielles, commerciales et minières ainsi que de services pour lesquelles de nouvelles opportunités seront offertes au sein de l’aéroport ; (v) l’Agence pour la Sécurité de la Navigation Aérienne en Afrique et à Madagascar (ASECNA) en tant gestionnaire de l’aéroport et (vi) l’Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (ANAC).

Central African Republic - Project to Interconnect Power Grids from the Boali Hydropower System Phase I: CAR Component- Supplementary Grant République Centrafricaine - Projet d'interconnexion des réseaux électriques à partir du système hydroélectrique de Boali - Phase I : Composante RCA-financement complémentaire The proposed operation is a supplementary grant of UA 2.51 million to finance the Central African Republic (CAR) component of the Project to Interconnect the Power Grids of CAR and DRC from the Boali Hydro-power System. In September 2012, the ADF approved a grant of UA 29.73 million to the Central African Republic (CAR) to finance the BOALI Phase I Project (interconnection of the CAR and DRC power grids from the Boali hydropower system). The goods procurement process -i) Rehabilitation and extension of Boali 2 plants; -ii) Rehabilitation of the transmission network; and -iii) Rehabilitation and extension of the distribution network) revealed that the cost of the winning bids exceeded the budget by UA 2.51 million. The reasons for this budgetary gap stem, on the one hand, from the bidders' perception of country risk and, on the other hand, from monetary inflation between the project approval date (September 2012) and the bid submission date (in 2018). Hence, following the Bank President's commitment to contribute to the financing of the crossborder project to electrify 9 provincial localities from the Mobayi power station (PETMobayi), it appeared necessary to finance the project update cost. The supplementary grant will provide additional resources to complete the infrastructure works and achieve most of the project's objectives. The project components are: (i) Rehabilitation and strengthening of generating units; (ii) Construction and strengthening of the transmission grid; (iii) Construction and strengthening of distribution grid; (iv) Project management. The total cost of the CAR component of the revised project, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA 32.23 million. La présente intervention est une subvention complémentaire de 2,51 millions d'UC destinée à financer la composante République centrafricaine (RCA) du projet d'interconnexion des réseaux électriques de la RCA et de la RDC à partir du système hydroélectrique de Boali. En effet, en septembre 2012, le FAD a approuvé un don de 29,73 millions d'UC à la République centrafricaine (RCA) pour financer la phase I du projet BOALI (interconnexion des réseaux électriques de la RCA et de la RDC à partir du système hydroélectrique de Boali). Le processus d'acquisition des biens (i) Réhabilitation et extension des centrales de Boali 2 ; ii) Réhabilitation du réseau de transmission ; et iii) Réhabilitation et extension du réseau de distribution) a révélé que le coût des offres retenues dépassait le budget de 2,51 millions d'UC. Les raisons de cet écart budgétaire découlent, d'une part, de la perception du risque pays par les soumissionnaires et, d'autre part, de l'inflation monétaire entre la date d'approbation du projet (septembre 2012) et la date de soumission des offres (en 2018). Ainsi, suite à l'engagement du Président de la Banque de contribuer au financement du projet transfrontalier d'électrification de 9 localités provinciales à partir de la centrale électrique de Mobayi (PETMobayi), il est apparu nécessaire de financer le coût de la mise à jour du projet. La subvention complémentaire fournira des ressources supplémentaires pour achever les travaux d'infrastructure et atteindre la plupart des objectifs du projet. Les composantes du projet sont les suivantes : (i) Réhabilitation et renforcement des unités de production ; (ii) Construction et renforcement du réseau de transmission ; (iii) Construction et renforcement du réseau de distribution ; (iv) Gestion du projet. Le coût total de la composante RCA du projet révisé, net de taxes et de droits de douane, est estimé à 32,23 millions d'UC. The overall objective of the project is to rehabilitate and strengthen the generating units and the interconnected transmission and distribution networks to improve the power availability and access rate and reduce the extremely high cost of electricity in CAR and the DRC. L'objectif global du projet est de réhabiliter et de renforcer les unités de production et les réseaux de transmission et de distribution interconnectés afin d'améliorer la disponibilité et le taux d'accès à l'électricité et de réduire le coût extrêmement élevé de l'électricité en RCA et en RDC. The main project beneficiaries are: (i) ENERCA and SNEL, whose generation costs will drop and whose income will increase as a result of new customers and enhanced reliability of the grid; (ii) ENERCA and SNEL’s customers, including the private sector, who will benefit from improved service quality; (iii) the inhabitants of the project area who will be employed on the project sites; and (iv) the two governments, which will collect additional tax revenue and benefit from increased productivity of the administration, thanks to improved working conditions. Les principaux bénéficiaires du projet sont : (i) l'ENERCA et la SNEL, dont les coûts de production diminueront et dont les revenus augmenteront grâce à de nouveaux clients et à une plus grande fiabilité du réseau ; (ii) les clients de l'ENERCA et de la SNEL, y compris le secteur privé, qui bénéficieront d'une meilleure qualité de service ; (iii) les habitants de la zone du projet qui seront employés sur les sites du projet ; et (iv) les deux gouvernements, qui percevront des recettes fiscales supplémentaires et bénéficieront d'une productivité accrue de l'administration, grâce à l'amélioration des conditions de travail.

The second component consists of the acquisition of equipment for emergency remediation work and the resettlement of disaster victims in developed sites. The third component relates to the management of the emergency aid operation. La présente opération a été initiée en raison des dégats engendrés par les pluies diluviennes, en juin – juillet 2009, à Bangui, qui ont touché environ 1 500 familles soit près de 10 000 personnes affectées dont 3 000 femmes et 4 000 enfants. Dans le but de soulager les souffrances des familles en détresse et redonner espoir aux victimes des inondations, afin que ses conséquences ne perturbent pas gravement les effets du progrès socio économique que connaît le pays depuis quelques années, le Gouvernement centrafricain a lancé à la communauté internationale dans le cadre duquel s'inscrit l’intervention du Groupe de la Banque. Cette intervention qui vient compléter celle des autres bailleurs de fonds pour assister les populations sinistrées de la ville de Bangui, s’appuie sur trois composantes. La première composante porte sur l’acquisition et la distribution des biens de subsistance, des médicaments et des fournitures utilitaires (sac d’écoles, cahiers et fournitures diverses). La deuxième composante consiste à l’acquisition de matériels pour les travaux d’assainissement d’urgence et au recasement des sinistrés dans des sites aménagés. Enfin, la troisième composante est relative à la gestion de l’opération d’aide d’urgence. The objective of the emergency aid operation is to contribute to improving the living conditions of 1,500 households vulnerable to flooding in Bangui. L'objectif de l'opération d’aide d’urgence est de contribuer à l'amélioration des conditions de vie de 1.500 ménages vulnérabilisées par les inondations à Bangui.

Central African Republic - Savannah-Based Agricultural Value Chains Development Support Project (PADECAS) République Centrafricaine - Projet d'appui au développement des chaînes de valeurs agricoles dans les savanes (PADECAS) The Savannah-Based Agricultural Value Chains Development Support Project (PADECAS), jointly financed with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) seeks to sustainably grow food and beef production in Central African Republic (CAR). PADECAS complements IFAD's Agropastoral Production Revival Project (PREPAS). It stems from the CAR Government’s desire to make the agriculture and livestock sectors participate actively in the quest for economic growth capable of generating jobs and substantial incomes for rural communities. PADECAS, which will span five years (2019-2023) and cost UA 22.1 million (CFAF 17.3 billion), will be implemented in the Prefectures of Lobaye, Ombella-Mpoko and L’Ouham Péndé through three components as follows: (i) Development of agricultural and animal sectors; (ii) Institutional support to the agricultural sector; and (iii) Coordination and Management. It will experiment on a pilot basis : (a) new technologies for increasing productivity; (b) inclusive funding mechanisms; and (c) youth entrepreneurship. In addition, a mechanism will be put in place to monitor dynamics of the food and cattle sub-sectors as well as the initiative designed to extend social protection to rural areas. Le projet d'appui au développement des chaînes de valeur agricoles dans les savanes (PADECAS), financé conjointement avec le Fonds international de développement agricole (FIDA), vise à accroître durablement la production alimentaire et bovine en République centrafricaine (RCA). Le PADECAS complète le projet de relance de la production agropastorale (PREPAS) du FIDA. Il découle de la volonté du gouvernement de la RCA de faire participer activement les secteurs de l'agriculture et de l'élevage à la recherche d'une croissance économique capable de générer des emplois et des revenus substantiels pour les communautés rurales. Le PADECAS, d'une durée de cinq ans (2019-2023) et d'un coût de 22,1 millions d'UC (17,3 milliards de FCFA), sera mis en œuvre dans les préfectures de la Lobaye, de l'Ombella-Mpoko et de l'Ouham Péndé à travers trois composantes comme suit : (i) Développement des secteurs agricole et animal ; (ii) Appui institutionnel au secteur agricole ; et (iii) Coordination et gestion. Il expérimentera à titre pilote : (a) de nouvelles technologies pour accroître la productivité ; (b) des mécanismes de financement inclusifs ; et (c) l'entrepreneuriat des jeunes. En outre, un mécanisme sera mis en place pour suivre la dynamique des sous-secteurs de l'alimentation et du bétail ainsi que l'initiative visant à étendre la protection sociale aux zones rurales. The general objective of PADECAS is to contribute to the improvement of food and nutritional security through the increase of agricultural production (agriculture and livestock) and the improvement of the livelihoods of the beneficiary populations. The project aims to stimulate investment in the production of staple crops and livestock and to provide job opportunities for women and young people, particularly graduates including other so-called vulnerable categories, in the context of the fragility of the current socio-political situation in CAR. Specifically, this project aims to (i) increase the productivity of the cassava, maize, bean, rice and large livestock sectors; (ii) increase marketed agricultural and livestock production; (iii) build the capacity of stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of investments in value chains. Le PADECAS a pour objectif général de contribuer à l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle à travers l’augmentation de la production agricole (agriculture et élevage) et l’amélioration des moyens de subsistances des populations bénéficiaires. Le projet vise à stimuler les investissements dans la production de cultures de base et de l’élevage et d’offrir des débouchés professionnels pour les femmes et jeunes, notamment les diplômés y compris les autres catégories dites vulnérables, dans un contexte de fragilité de la situation socio-politique actuelle de la RCA. De façon spécifique, ce projet vise : (i) l’augmentation de la productivité des filières porteuses du manioc, maïs, haricot, riz et des gros bétails ; (ii) l’augmentation de la production agricole et animale commercialisée ; (iii) le renforcement des capacités des acteurs pour assurer la durabilité des investissements dans les chaînes de valeur. PADECAS targets about 30,120 households to be added to the other 30,000 households of the PREPAS Project, making a total of 60,120 households with more than 500,000 direct beneficiaries. The main areas of the project, Ombella Mpoko and Lobaye, cover an estimated beneficiary population of about 1.5 million inhabitants, or 32% of the total population of the country. The young make up 61% of this population while women make up 50%. Moreover, the capacities of the support institutions (the Central African Institute for Agronomic Research (ICRA), the National Agency for Development of Agricultural Livestock (ANDE), National Federation of Central African Herders (FNEC), Central African Agency for Agricultural Development (ACDA)), will be strengthened. Le PADECAS cible environ 30 120 ménages qui s'ajouteront aux 30 000 autres ménages du projet PREPAS, soit un total de 60 120 ménages avec plus de 500 000 bénéficiaires directs. Les principales zones du projet, Ombella Mpoko et Lobaye, couvrent une population bénéficiaire estimée à environ 1,5 million d'habitants, soit 32 % de la population totale du pays. Les jeunes représentent 61 % de cette population, tandis que les femmes en représentent 50 %. Par ailleurs, les capacités des institutions de soutien (l’Institut Centrafricaine de recherche agronome (ICRA) ; l’Agence Nationale de Développement de l’Elevage (ANDE) ; Fédération Nationale des Eleveurs Centrafricains (FNEC) ; Agence Centrafricaine de Développement Agricole (ACDA)) seront renforcées.

Central African Republic - Covid-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Programme (PABRC) République Centrafricaine - Programme d’appui budgétaire en réponse à la crise covid-19 (PABRC) The COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program in Central African Republic (PABRC-RCA) aims to support the efforts made by the Government to control the pandemic and help to mitigate its negative economic and social impacts. PABRC-RCA is aligned with the Government’s Response Plan to combat the pandemic. It complements the Regional Program to Support Member States of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to fight the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) approved in June 2020. As at 13 July 2020, there were 4 259 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in CAR, 1 142 of which were declared ‘recovered’ and 53 deaths. The number of infections rose most rapidly in June with 2282 cases, i.e. an average of 87.8 infections per day for this month alone compared with 12.4 for the March to May period. Two thirds of the cases are due to local transmission but almost 85% of imported cases come from neighbouring Cameroon, causing tension that is affecting regional trade and integration. This situation represents a complex challenge since the Douala-Bangui corridor is vital for CAR’s trade because the country is completely landlocked. The proposed program will be financed from ADF resources allocated to the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF). It was appraised in April 2020 following a request by the Government to the Bank in March 2020. It is an UA 4.5 million from ADF-15 and UA 6 million from TSF Pillar I budget support operation whose resources will be disbursed in a single tranche for each instrument. The measures retained under PABRC-RCA will be implemented over the 2020-2021 period and focused on the following two components: (i) protecting the labour force productivity against the outbreak threat by supporting the health response; and (ii) mitigation of the pandemic’s economic and social impacts. Le Programme d’Appui Budgétaire en Réponse à la Crise Covid-19 en République Centrafricaine (PABRC-RCA) vise à appuyer les efforts engagés par le Gouvernement en vue de maitriser la pandémie et contribuer en atténuer les effets négatifs au plan économique et social. Le PABRC-RCA est de ce fait aligné au plan de riposte du Gouvernement et complémentaire au programme régional d’appui en faveur des états membres de la communauté économique et monétaire de l’Afrique centrale (CEMAC) et de la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) pour la lutte contre la Covid-19, approuvé en juin 2020. Au 13 juillet 2020, la RCA comptait 4 259 cas confirmés de Covid-19, dont 1 142 cas ont été déclarés guéris et 53 décès. L’augmentation du nombre de cas de contamination n’a jamais aussi été rapide avec 2282 cas en juin, soit 87.8 contaminations moyenne par jour pour ce seul mois contre 12,4 pour la période mars-mai. Deux tiers des cas résultent d’une transmission locale, mais près de 85% des cas importés viennent du Cameroun voisin, créant ainsi des tensions affectant le commerce et l’intégration régionale. Cette situation représente un défi complexe, puisque le corridor Douala Bangui, est essentiel aux échanges commerciaux de la RCA, un pays totalement enclavé. Le présent programme est financé sous ressources FAD allouées à la Facilité de réponse rapide à la Covid-19 (CRF). Il a fait l’objet d’une évaluation, en avril 2020, en réponse à une requête du Gouvernement, adressée à la Banque, en mars 2020. Il s’agit d’un appui budgétaire de 4,5 millions d’UC sur le FAD-15 et de 6 millions d’UC sur les la FAT pilier I dont les ressources seront décaissées en une tranche unique pour chaque instrument. Les mesures retenues dans le cadre du PABRC-RCA seront en mises en œuvre sur la période 2020-2021 et reposent sur deux composantes à savoir : (i) protection de la productivité du capital humain en soutenant la riposte sanitaire ; et (ii) atténuation des effets économiques et sociaux de la pandémie. The PABRC-RCA goal is to help to control the COVID-19 pandemic and contribute to the country’s economic and social recovery. Therefore, the PABRC is aligned with the strategic priorities of ADF-15 which aim to strengthen economic resilience and shock management, in particular Pillar II, which targets the improvement of the business climate, governance and human and institutional capacity. Thus, the PABRC, by protecting the RCA’s economy will contribute to ensuring the continuity of the reforms and progress noted in RCA in the various areas of engagement of ADF-15; as well as in resource mobilization and debt management. L’objet du PABRC-RCA est de contribuer à la maîtrise de la pandémie de covid-19 et à la relance économique et sociale du pays. Le PABRC s’aligne donc sur les priorités stratégiques du FAD-15 qui visent à renforcer la résilience économique et la gestion des chocs, notamment le pilier II, qui cible l’amélioration du climat des affaires, la gouvernance et le renforcement des capacités humaines et institutionnelles. Ainsi, le PABRC, en protégeant l’économie de la RCA, contribuera à assurer la continuité des réformes et des progrès notés en RCA dans les différents domaines d'engagement du FAD-15; ainsi que dans la mobilisation des ressources et la gestion de la dette. PABRC-RCA will directly benefit infected people, households and businesses affected by COVID-19, for instance through food distribution kits and access to water supply. Overall, the program’s indirect beneficiaries will be the government of the Central African Republic through the ministries directly involved as well as Cameroonian citizens and businesses that will be protected from the rapid, continuing spread of COVID-19. Le PABRC-RCA bénéficiera directement les personnes infectées, les ménages et entreprises affectées par la Covid-19, à travers par exemple les kits de distribution alimentaires et l’accès à l’eau. De manière globale, les bénéficiaires indirects du programme sont l’Etat de la Centrafrique, à travers les ministères directement impliqués, les citoyens et entreprises camerounaises qui seront protégés contre une propagation rapide et continue de la COVID-19.

Central African Republic - Aide d’urgence pour la sécurité alimentaire des ménages vulnérables affectés par la crise politico-militaire de mars 2013
(Version française uniquement) République Centrafricaine - Aide d’urgence pour la sécurité alimentaire des ménages vulnérables affectés par la crise politico-militaire de mars 2013 The proposed operation involves a grant of up to one million US dollars (USD 1,000,000) to the Transitional Government of the Central African Republic (CAR) to help address the humanitarian crisis affecting the country. The Bank's donation will be used to support the efforts of the CAR government and other partners to provide emergency aid to people affected by the crisis in the country. The emergency aid operation comprises three main components: (i) acquisition and distribution of subsistence goods, medicines and utility supplies to vulnerable populations in 4 prefectures for 10,000 households; (ii) acquisition and distribution of food and market seeds, fertilisers and phytosanitary products; and (iii) acquisition and distribution of pairs of traction oxen equipped with ploughs and small agricultural tools. The equipped oxen will be purchased and made available to 100 village groups, including 50 in each of the two (2) most populous beneficiary prefectures whose producers are already familiar with the use of animal traction. However, the small tools will be intended for the populations of the two (2) other prefectures of Haute Kotto and Vakaga, which are less populated than the previous two and are not used to the use of animal traction. La présente opération porte sur un don d’un montant n’excédant pas un million de dollars des Etats-Unis (1.000.000 USD) au Gouvernement de transition de la République centrafricaine (RCA) en vue de contribuer à faire face à la crise humanitaire qui affecte le pays. Le don de la Banque servira à appuyer les efforts du Gouvernement et des autres partenaires de la RCA pour apporter une aide d’urgence aux populations affectées par la crise que vit le pays. L’opération d’aide d’urgence comprend trois principales composantes : i) acquisition et distribution de biens de subsistance, médicaments et fournitures utilitaires aux populations vulnérables dans 4 préfectures pour 10.000 ménages ; (ii) acquisition et distribution de semences vivrières, maraichères, fertilisants, et produits phytosanitaires ; et (iii) acquisition et distribution de paires de bœufs de traction équipées de charrues et de petit outillage agricole. Les bœufs équipés vont être achetés et mis à la disposition de 100 groupements villageois dont 50 au profit de chacune des deux (2) préfectures bénéficiaires les plus peuplées et dont les producteurs sont déjà familiers avec l’utilisation de la traction animale. Cependant, le petit outillage sera destiné aux populations des deux (2) autres préfectures de la Haute Kotto et de la Vakaga moins peuplées par rapport aux deux précédentes et qui ne sont pas habituées à l’utilisation de traction animale. The aim of the emergency aid operation is to help improve food security, particularly with a view to tackling the humanitarian crisis affecting CAR. L’objectif de l’opération d’aide d’urgence est de contribuer à l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire en vue notamment de lutter contre la crise humanitaire qui affecte la RCA. The operation area will cover four prefectures of Ouham, Ouham Pende in the North-West, Vakaga and Haute Kotto in the North-East, covering around 10,000 households.

Central African Republic - First Drinking Water and Sanitation Sub-Programme (PSEPA) for Bangui and four Prefectures Centrafrique - Premier Sous-Programme Sectoriel Eau Potable et Assainissement (PSEPA) de Bangui et quatre Préfectures On 24 October 2012, the African Development Bank’s Board of Directors approved the First Sector Sub-Programme for Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation (PSEPA) for a total amount of UA 15.55 million financed through: (i) a UA 10.430 million Transition Support Facility (TSF) grant; (ii) a UA 4.00 million Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI) Trust Fund grant; (iii) a UA 1.040 million African Development Fund (ADF) loan; and (iv) a Government contribution of UA 0.08 million. The sub-programme sought to: (i) restore the nominal drinking water production capacity of the only pumping station in Bangui by raising it from 750 m3 /hour to 1,500 m3 /hour; and (ii) increase drinking water and sanitation coverage rates from 28% and 1.7%, respectively, to 67% and 10% by 2015 in the targeted rural areas, while supporting the reintegration of people into their respective communities.
At the same time, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), through the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF)1 ,earmarked USD 7.140 million (UA 5.135 million) for CAR in 2013 to implement, through PSPEA, the Complementary Project to Reduce the Vulnerability of Urban and Rural Populations to Climate Change Through Water Supply (PCVRP-FCAE) in Bangui and its environs. These activities mainly cover the climate-change-adaption measures that were not adequately mainstreamed into the restructured PSEPA, notably: (i) the provision of support to institutions at the national (DGH, SODECA, DGEES and ANEA) and local (rural communities near Bangui) levels and the network of Organizations of Central African Women (OFCA) in order to incorporate climate-change-related data into water resource management; (ii) the increase in the volume and quality of water; and (iii) better understanding of good adaptation practices by at least 50% of the population and beneficiary entities as well as data capitalization and dissemination. Le 24 octobre 2012, le Conseil d'administration de la Banque africaine de développement a approuvé le premier sous-programme sectoriel pour l'approvisionnement en eau potable et l'assainissement (PSEPA) d'un montant total de 15,55 millions d'UC financé par : (i) un don de la Facilité d'appui à la transition (FAT) de 10,430 millions d'UC ; (ii) un don du Fonds fiduciaire de l'Initiative pour l'approvisionnement en eau et l'assainissement en milieu rural (IAEAR) de 4,00 millions d'UC ; (iii) un prêt du Fonds africain de développement (FAD) de 1,040 million d'UC ; et (iv) une contribution du gouvernement de 0,08 million d'UC. Le sous-programme visait à (i) restaurer la capacité nominale de production d'eau potable de l'unique station de pompage de Bangui en la portant de 750 m3/heure à 1 500 m3/heure ; et (ii) augmenter les taux de couverture en eau potable et en assainissement de 28 % et 1,7 % respectivement à 67 % et 10 % à l'horizon 2015 dans les zones rurales ciblées, tout en appuyant la réinsertion des populations dans leurs communautés respectives.
Parallèlement, le Fonds pour l'environnement mondial (FEM), à travers le Fonds pour les pays les moins avancés (FPMA)1 , a affecté 7,140 millions USD (5,135 millions d'UC) à la RCA en 2013 pour mettre en œuvre, à travers le PSPEA, le Projet complémentaire de réduction de la vulnérabilité des populations urbaines et rurales au changement climatique par l'approvisionnement en eau (PCVRP-FCAE) à Bangui et dans ses environs. Ces activités couvrent principalement les mesures d'adaptation au changement climatique qui n'ont pas été suffisamment intégrées dans le PSEPA restructuré, notamment : (i) l'appui aux institutions au niveau national (DGH, SODECA, DGEES et ANEA) et local (communautés rurales proches de Bangui) et au réseau des Organisations des Femmes Centrafricaines (OFCA) afin d'intégrer les données liées au changement climatique dans la gestion des ressources en eau ; (ii) l'augmentation du volume et de la qualité de l'eau ; et (iii) une meilleure compréhension des bonnes pratiques d'adaptation par au moins 50% de la population et des entités bénéficiaires ainsi que la capitalisation et la dissémination des données. The implementation of the Sub-Programme, including GEF activities, will contribute to: (i) improving the welfare of 585,000 more people, 51.8% of them women; and.(ii) strengthening the empowerment of women and youths in the agriculture, energy, health, education and employment sectors and the prevention of natural disasters. Construction works will create 20 permanent jobs in the Central African Water Distribution Corporation (SODECA). La mise en œuvre du sous-programme, y compris les activités du FEM, contribuera à : (i) améliorer le bien-être de 585 000 personnes supplémentaires, dont 51,8 % de femmes ; et (ii) renforcer l'autonomisation des femmes et des jeunes dans les secteurs de l'agriculture, de l'énergie, de la santé, de l'éducation et de l'emploi, ainsi que la prévention des catastrophes naturelles. Les travaux de construction créeront 20 emplois permanents au sein de la Société centrafricaine de distribution d'eau (SODECA). More than 1,000 temporary jobs (catering, manual workers and others) will be created during the execution of labour-intensive (HIMO) works. At the end of construction works, operation and maintenance activities will generate 660 permanent jobs, 40% of which will be reserved for women (particularly in the management of water points, local repairers, bricklayers, etc.). Stand-alone water points (SWPs) will be powered through solar energy which will be used to light rural municipalities, thus contributing to increasing primary school enrolment (the current enrolment rate is 59% for boys and only 39% for girls) in the country. Plus de 1 000 emplois temporaires (restauration, ouvriers et autres) seront créés pendant l'exécution des travaux à haute intensité de main d'œuvre (HIMO). A la fin des travaux de construction, les activités d'exploitation et de maintenance généreront 660 emplois permanents, dont 40% seront réservés aux femmes (notamment dans la gestion des points d'eau, réparateurs locaux, maçons, etc.) Les points d'eau autonomes seront alimentés par l'énergie solaire qui servira à l'éclairage des communes rurales, contribuant ainsi à l'augmentation du taux de scolarisation primaire (le taux de scolarisation actuel est de 59% pour les garçons et seulement 39% pour les filles) dans le pays.

Central African Republic - Emergency Post-Crisis and Economic Recovery Support Programme – Phase 2 République Centrafricaine - Programme d’urgence d’appui à la sortie de crise et à la reprise économique – Phase 2 The proposed operation concerns an ADF grant of UA 5.00 million and a TSF grant of UA 2.36 million to finance the second phase of the Emergency Post-Crisis and Economic Recovery Support Programme (PUASCRE-2). It involves supplementary financing of the emergency budget support operation that the Bank granted to the Central African Republic in June 2014, to help address the serious humanitarian crisis caused by the March 2013 military coup perpetrated by an armed rebellion that toppled the decade-old regime. This supplementary support is a follow-up to the international community’s joint effort to help the transition authorities mitigate the socio-economic impact of the crisis on the population, foster economic recovery and restore public institutions through peaceful, inclusive general elections. Like the previous support operation, PUASCRE-2 will mainly focus on short-term measures to mitigate the impacts of the crisis. However, some policy measures will be included in the programme to prepare the country for more structuring reforms once it exits the crisis. PUASCRE has two main components: (i) improvement of public finance management and supply of basic social services; and (ii) improvement of conditions for the revival of economic activities. These two complementary components contribute to the programme goal of restoring the normal functioning of government services and creating necessary conditions for economic recovery. La présente opération porte sur un don FAD d’un montant de 5,00 millions d’UC et d’un don FAT d’un montant de 2,36 millions d’UC pour le financement d’une seconde phase du Programme d’urgence d’appui à la sortie de crise et à la reprise économique (PUASCRE-2). Il s’agit d’un financement additionnel à l’appui budgétaire d’urgence que la Banque avait accordé à la République Centrafricaine, en juin 2014, pour l’aider à faire face à la grave crise humanitaire engendrée par le coup de force militaire perpétré en mars 2013 par une rébellion armée qui a mis fin au régime en place depuis dix ans. Cet appui additionnel s’inscrit dans le cadre de la poursuite de l’effort concerté de la communauté internationale pour aider les autorités de transition à atténuer l’impact socio-économique de cette crise sur les populations, favoriser la reprise économique et assurer le rétablissement des institutions publiques à travers des élections générales inclusives et apaisées. Le PUASCRE-2, tout comme le précédent appui, sera essentiellement axé sur des mesures de court terme destinées à atténuer les effets de la crise. Quelques mesures de politique seront toutefois inscrites au Programme, pour préparer le pays à des réformes plus structurantes dès la sortie crise. Le PUASCRE se décline en deux composantes principales : (i) amélioration de la gestion des finances publiques et la fourniture des services sociaux de base ; et (ii) amélioration des conditions d’une relance des activités économiques. Ces deux composantes sont complémentaires et concourent au but du Programme qui est relatif à la restauration du fonctionnement normal des administrations et à la création des conditions nécessaires à la relance économique. In continuation of the preceding programme, the general objective of PUASCRE-2 is to help restore the normal functioning of Government services and create necessary conditions for economic recovery. The programme objective is to consolidate the achievements of PUASCRE-1 and prepare the country for measures with a deeper impact on economic recovery and job creation at the end of the transition. Le but global du PUASCRE-2, dans la continuité du précédent programme, est de contribuer à la restauration du fonctionnement normal des administrations et à la création des conditions nécessaires à la relance économique. L’objectif du programme est de consolider les acquis du PUASCRE-1 et de préparer le pays à la mise en œuvre de mesures plus structurantes sur la relance économique et la création de l’emploi dès la fin de la transition. The programme’s end beneficiaries are the same as those of the previous programme. These are the population of the Central African Republic as a whole, or close to 4.3 million people and the vulnerable populations in particular. The programme will directly benefit the Government by helping to close the financing gap. Les bénéficiaires finaux du Programme sont les mêmes que ceux du Programme précédent. Il s’agit des populations centrafricaines dans leur ensemble, soit près de 4,3 millions d’habitants, et en particulier les populations vulnérables. De manière directe, le programme bénéficiera au Gouvernement en aidant au bouclage du gap de financement.

Central African Republic - Project to support revenue mobilisation and transparency of development policies (PAMRET) République Centrafricaine - Projet d’Appui à la Mobilisation des Ressources et à la Transparence des Politiques de Développement (PAMRET) The Project to support revenue mobilisation and transparency of development policies (PAMRET) is a continuation of the last institutional support programme - the Projet d'Appui au Renforcement des Capacités de Gestion Economique et Financière (PARCGEF). In addition to responding to the difficult economic situation, PAMRET targets the strengthening of institutional capacities and responds to the concerns of the Government, which is committed to pursuing macroeconomic and structural reforms, particularly in the area of public finance, in order to accelerate the country's emergence from a situation of fragility. The project is justified by the need to support the Government in its strategic planning efforts, in order to underpin the provision of basic services that can help strengthen social cohesion. The project will thus contribute to the development and consolidation of public finance management and reform steering capacities, focusing on human resources and the modernisation of working methods. The project will also lead to a more effective control framework that will contribute to an improvement in the quality of public spending, better public services and a strengthened monitoring framework for the export of natural resources, as well as increased mobilisation of tax revenue, better access to financing and additional budgetary leeway for essential public services. PAMRET has three components: (i) strengthening resource management and mobilisation; (ii) support for programming, transparency and monitoring of development policies; and (iii) project management. Le Projet d’Appui à la Mobilisation des Ressources et à la Transparence des Politiques de Développement (PAMRET) s’inscrit dans la continuité du dernier appui institutionnel – le Projet d’Appui au Renforcement des Capacités de Gestion Economique et Financière (PARCGEF). En plus de répondre à la conjoncture difficile, le PAMRET cible le renforcement des capacités institutionnelles et répond aux préoccupations du Gouvernement qui s’engage à poursuivre les réformes macro-économiques et structurelles, notamment dans le domaine des finances publiques, pour accélérer la sortie de la situation de fragilité. Le projet se justifie par la nécessité d’accompagner le Gouvernement dans ses efforts de planification stratégique afin d’appuyer la fourniture de services de base pouvant contribuer à renforcer la cohésion sociale. Le projet contribuera ainsi au développement et à la consolidation des capacités de gestion des finances publiques et de pilotage de réformes, en mettant l’accent sur les ressources humaines et la modernisation des méthodes de travail. Le projet conduira également à un cadre de contrôle plus efficace qui contribuera à une amélioration de la qualité des dépenses publiques, à de meilleurs services publics et à un cadre de surveillance renforcé pour les exportations de ressources naturelles ainsi qu'à une mobilisation accrue des recettes fiscales, un meilleur accès au financement et une marge de manœuvre budgétaire supplémentaire pour les services publics essentiels. Le PAMRET se décline en trois composantes, à savoir : (i) le renforcement de la gestion et la mobilisation des ressources ; (ii) l’appui à la programmation, transparence et suivi des politiques de développement ; et (iii) la gestion du projet. The project’s overall objective is to contribute to strengthening revenue mobilisation capacity and the transparent and effective management of public development policies. Its specific objectives are to: (i) improve resource mobilisation and management; and (ii) support programming, monitoring and transparency in the implementation of development policies. L'objectif global du projet est de contribuer au renforcement des capacités de mobilisation des ressources et des politiques publiques de développement plus efficaces et transparentes. Les objectifs spécifiques consistent à : (i) améliorer la mobilisation et la gestion des ressources ; et (ii) appuyer la programmation, le contrôle et la transparence dans la mise en œuvre des politiques de développement. The main direct beneficiaries of PAMRET are the government bodies responsible for tax revenue collection (DGI, Customs, DGTCP), debt management (DD), investment mobilisation (Ministry of Trade) and also for controlling and monitoring public policies, including corruption control (CA, High Authority for Good Governance) and illicit financial flows (ANIF, EITI). All beneficiary structures will be strengthened through the acquisition of methods suited to their missions, high-level technical assistance and delivery of targeted training programmes. As the project enhances PFM, it will ultimately benefit the entire CAR population. In addition, to bolster citizens’ participation in public policy development and monitoring, the project will address CSOs’ lack of capacity for budget analysis and monitoring, and create opportunities for discussing how to plan and execute public development. Les principaux bénéficiaires directs du PAMRET sont les structures de l’État en charge de la mobilisation des recettes fiscales (DGI, Douanes, DGTCP), et de la gestion de la dette (DD) mais aussi du contrôle et suivi des politiques publiques (DGE, CS-REF) y/c la lutte contre la corruption (Cours des Comptes, HABG) et les flux financiers illicites (ANIF, ITIE). L’ensemble des structures bénéficiaires seront renforcées à travers une assistance technique de haut niveau et la mise en œuvre des programmes de formation ciblés. Le projet bénéficiera à l’ensemble de la population centrafricaine, à travers le renforcement de la GFP. De plus, afin de renforcer la participation citoyenne dans l’élaboration et le suivi des politiques publiques, le projet adressera le manque de capacité des OSCs et du Parlement en termes d’analyse et suivi budgétaire et créera des opportunités d’échanges autour de la programmation et l’exécution des politiques de développement.

Central African Republic - Economic And Financial Reforms Support Programme (PAREF) - Phase II République Centrafricaine - Programme d’appui aux réformes économiques et financières (PAREF) - Phase II The proposed operation is the second phase of the Economic and Financial Reform Support Program, Phase II (PAREF-II). It intervenes in a context of standardization of the country's institutions, with the adoption of a new constitution in December 2015 and the election of a new president in February 2016. The Program is part of the continuation of the measures supported by the two CARs that accompanied the Transitional Government in restoring the capacity of financial and social administrations. PAREF-II will include more structural measures to help revive the economy and improve public finance management. It is expected that the program's measures will be implemented: (i) an increase in tax revenues from 7.1% of GDP in 2015 to 8.7% of GDP in 2018; (ii) a reduction in direct contract procurement from 90% in 2015 to less than 50% in 2018; (iii) a reduction in the number of days for business creation, from an average of 22 days in 2015 to an average of less than 14 days in 2018; and (iv) lowering the cost of starting businesses from 204 percent of per capita income in 2015 to less than 150 percent of per capita income in 2018. The total cost of the program is estimated at UA 7 million for a planned execution period from December 22, 2017 to December 31, 2018. The Program has two components: (i) Component 1: Improved tax revenue mobilization and public expenditure management; (ii) Component 2: Improving the business environment and governance of the productive sectors. The two components are complementary. The mobilization of tax revenues and the improvement of public expenditure management will enable the Government to progressively release fiscal space to consolidate the recovery of the economy. La présente opération est la deuxième phase du Programme d’appui aux réformes économiques et financières, phase II (PAREF-II). Elle intervient dans un contexte de normalisation des institutions du pays, avec l’adoption d’une nouvelle constitution en décembre 2015 et l’élection d’un nouveau président en février 2016. Le Programme s’inscrit dans la poursuite des mesures soutenues par les deux Appuis budgétaires en réponse à la crise (ABRC) qui ont accompagné le gouvernement de transition dans la restauration des capacités des administrations financières et sociales. Le PAREF-II intègrera des mesures plus structurantes, pour aider à la relance de l’économie et améliorer la gestion des finances publiques. Il est attendu de la mise en œuvre des mesures du programme : (i) une hausse des recettes fiscales de 7,1% du PIB en 2015 à 8,7% du PIB en 2018 ; (ii) une réduction des marchés publics passés par entente directe de 90% en 2015 à moins de 50% en 2018; (iii) une réduction du nombre de jour pour la création des entreprises, de 22 jours en moyenne en 2015 à moins de 14 jours en moyenne en 2018; et (iv) une baisse du coût de création des entreprises, passant de 204% du revenu par habitant en 2015 à moins de 150% du revenu par habitant en 2018. Le coût total du programme est estimé à 7 millions d’UC pour une période d’exécution prévue du 22 décembre 2017 au 31 décembre 2018. Le Programme a deux composantes : (i) Composante 1: Amélioration de la mobilisation des recettes fiscales et de la gestion des dépenses publiques ; (ii) Composante 2 : Amélioration de l’environnement des affaires et de la gouvernance des secteurs productifs. Les deux composantes sont complémentaires. La mobilisation des recettes fiscales et l’amélioration de la gestion des dépenses publiques permettront au Gouvernement de dégager progressivement un espace budgétaire pour consolider la relance de l’économie. The goal of PAREF is to contribute to the improvement of the management of public finances and the revival of economic growth. The program aims to have a positive impact on the country's economic growth and social situation. It will contribute to: (i) improve tax revenue collection; (ii) improve transparency and the rate of budget execution, particularly in the social sectors; and (iii) consolidate economic growth by improving the business climate and governance in the productive sectors (agriculture, forestry and mining). Le but du PAREF est de contribuer à l’amélioration de la gestion des finances publiques et à la relance de la croissance économique. Le Programme vise un impact positif sur la croissance économique et la situation sociale du pays. Il contribuera à : (i) améliorer le recouvrement des recettes fiscales ; (ii) améliorer la transparence et le taux d’exécution du budget, notamment dans les secteurs sociaux ; et (iii) consolider la croissance économique à travers une amélioration du climat des affaires et de la gouvernance dans les secteurs productifs (agriculture, forêt et mines). The direct beneficiaries of the Program are the public administrations and structures in charge of the reforms supported by the Program. The final beneficiaries are the Central African populations. Les bénéficiaires directs du Programme sont les administrations publiques et structures en charge des réformes soutenues par le Programme. Les bénéficiaires finaux sont les populations centrafricaines.

Central African Republic - Emergency assistance to strengthen cholera epidemiological surveillance République Centrafricaine - Aide d’urgence pour le renforcement de la surveillance épidémiologique du cholera La République centrafricaine fait actuellement face à une épidémie de choléra et présente un risque potentiellement élevé de développer l’épidémie du choléra et bien d’autres maladies à potentiel épidémique compte tenu de la situation sanitaire du pays aggravée par des crises politico-militaires répétitives. Ces crises récurrentes ont contribué, à la dégradation de la qualité de soins de santé faute d’infrastructures sanitaires adéquates et à la dégradation des conditions et cadres de vie décents de la population. Le premier épisode de l’épidémie de choléra s’est déclaré entre temps en 1997 dans la localité de Ngaoundaï, une zone frontalière avec le Tchad. En 2011, elle a resurgit dans le sud-est du pays touchant quelques zones frontalières avec la RDC dans la préfecture sanitaire de la Lobaye où on a dénombré 339 cas avec 20 décès. L’objectif général est de contribuer à réduire la mortalité et la morbidité liée à l’épidémie de choléra en minimisant le risque de sa propagation rapide vers les préfectures à risque en bordure du fleuve Oubangui et frontalières des pays voisins. Dans ces conditions, l’accent sera mis sur des actions de prévention pour réduire les risques de contamination d’autres personnes et de propagation transfrontalière. Les bénéficiaires du projet sont les populations des 16 préfectures de la RCA en général, (et en
particulier 10 préfectures à risque) soit au moins 2,5 millions de personnes à atteindre.

Central African Republic - Central Africa Fibre-Optic Backbone Project (CAB) – CAR Component République Centrafricaine - Dorsale à fibre optique d’Afrique Centrale (CAB) – Composante RCA The present project is relative to the Central African Republic (CAR) component of the Central Africa Fibre-Optic Backbone (CSB) Project. It consists to: (i) the laying of 1,050 km of fibre-optic cable on the interconnection roads with Cameroon and Congo as well as (ii) the establishment of a local urban loop comprising a national data centre (Datacentre) and a Digital Training Centre in Bangui. The project also provides for the establishment of an e-government platform as well as institutional support comprising, in particular : (i) feasibility studies for further phases of the project (ii) technical assistance to the Electronic Communications and Postal Regulatory Authority (ARCEP) ; (iii) support to educational establishments (Bangui University and Vocational High School) ; (iv) support for the establishment and operationalisation of a National ICT Agency (ANTIC) and (v) capacity building for environmental protection organisations (DGE and WWF). In addition to its regional focus, the project proposes to complete the missing links in the national fibre-optic network in CAR. The project will make it possible to cover the national fibre-optic network in this region as well as on the borders of CAR with Cameroon and Congo. It comprises four components, namely: A) fibre-optic infrastructure; B) ICT Applications and services; C) institutional support and capacity building; and D) project management Le présent projet porte sur la composante de la République Centrafricaine (RCA) du projet Dorsale à fibre optique d’Afrique Centrale (CAB). Il consiste en : (i) la pose de 1050 km fibre optique sur les axes d’interconnexion avec le Cameroun et le Congo ainsi que (ii) la mise en place d’une boucle locale urbaine d’un centre national de données (Datacenter) et d’un Centre de Formation Digitale à Bangui. Le projet prévoit également la mise en œuvre d’une plateforme d’e-Administration ainsi qu’un appui institutionnel comprenant, notamment : (i) des études de faisabilité pour les futures phases du projet ; (ii) une assistance technique à l’Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques et de la Poste (ARCEP) ; (iii) un appui aux établissements d'enseignement (Université et Lycée professionnel de Bangui) ; (iv) un support à la création et l'opérationnalisation d'une Agence Nationale des TIC (ANTIC) et (v) le renforcement des capacités des organismes de protection de l'environnement (DGE et WWF). Outre sa vocation régionale, le projet se propose de compléter les chainons manquants dans la dorsale nationale à fibre optique en RCA. Le projet permettra d’étendre la couverture du réseau à fibre optique national dans cette région ainsi qu’aux frontières de la RCA avec le Cameroun et le Congo. Il comprend quatre composantes, à savoir: (A) les infrastructures à fibre optique; B) les applications et services TIC; C) l'appui institutionnel et renforcement des capacités; et D) la gestion du projet. This project’s overall objective is to help diversify the economy of the Central African Republic. More specifically, it will lead to an increase in tax revenue and a reduction in the cost of economic and social transactions, digital opening access for rural areas coupled with regional integration through the establishment of fibre-optic infrastructure that will facilitate access to the neighbouring countries (Cameroon and Congo) and renewal of the social contract through the creation of job opportunities for young people in particular. L’objectif global de ce projet est de contribuer à la diversification de l’économie centrafricaine. Plus spécifiquement, il favorisera l’augmentation des recettes fiscales et la réduction du coût des transactions économiques et sociales, le désenclavement numérique des zones rurales couplé avec l’intégration régionale par l’entremise d’une infrastructure à fibre optique d’accès aux pays limitrophes (Cameroun et Congo) et la revivification du pacte social à travers la création d’opportunités d’emploi, pour les jeunes en particulier. The project’s direct beneficiaries are all the country’s inhabitants and beyond, even in the entire sub-region. The population of the eastern regions that are the most affected by the socio-political crisis, will ultimately also be beneficiaries through the project’s knock-on effect. As regards ICT applications and beneficiaries, the potential beneficiaries are the entire CAR population through the use of the e-government platform (Internet gateway, on-line administrative services, etc.). It is also expected that at least 20,000 beneficiaries (including 8,000 women) will be introduced to the use of ICT tools per year. Finally, 20 students (including 12 girls) completing their Masters in ICT–related disciplines (telecommunications, electronics, IT and optics) at the University of Bangui could be awarded a Doctorate scholarship as part of ICT training of trainers. The country’s telecom operators will also benefit from the project’s achievements through facilitating the expansion of their services in all the localities served by fibre-optics as well as terrestrial fibre-optic outlets to neighbouring countries (Cameroon and Congo). Concernant la fibre optique, les bénéficiaires directs du projet sont l’entièreté des habitants du pays et au-delà même dans toute la sous-région. Les populations des régions orientales qui sont très affectées par la crise socio-politique seront, à terme, seront également des bénéficiaires du fait de l’effet d’entrainement du projet. Quant aux applications et services TIC, les bénéficiaires concernent potentiellement l’entièreté de la population centrafricaine à travers l’utilisation de la plateforme d’e-Administration (portail Internet, services administratifs en ligne, etc.). De plus, il est attendu qu’au moins 20.000 bénéficiaires (dont 8.000 femmes) soient initiés à l’utilisation des outils TIC par an. Enfin, 20 étudiants (dont 12 filles) finissant les cycles de Master dans les disciplines apparentées aux TIC (télécommunications, électronique, informatique, optique, etc.) à l’Université de Bangui pourront bénéficier d’une bourse doctorale dans le cadre de la formation des formateurs dans les TIC. Les opérateurs télécoms du pays bénéficieront également des acquis du projet, avec l’extension facilitée de leur offre de service dans toutes les localités desservies par la fibre optique ainsi que les sorties terrestres à fibre optique vers les pays voisins (Cameroun et Congo).

Central African Republic - Support Program for the Reconstruction of Basic Communities, Phase 2 (PARCB-2) République Centrafricaine - Programme d’Appui à la Reconstruction des Communautés de Base, Phase2 (PARCB-2) This intervention concerns the Support Program for the Reconstruction of Basic Communities, Phase 2 (PARCB-2). The programme is designed to follow up on the upstream demobilization and disarmament actions undertaken by the Government with a view to stabilizing the population, improving the incomes and living conditions of the populations affected by the politico-military crisis through the restoration of social cohesion and living together. The programme aims to strengthen the achievements of PARCB-1 and PARCB-1 Additional operations in the areas already covered and to extend it to the interior of the country on the one hand, and to promote employment and the development of entrepreneurship through agropastoral activities (poultry farming, fish farming, beekeeping, dairy production, etc.), artisanal mining and strengthening the community reintegration process on the other hand. PARCB-2 will be based on the following three (3) components: (i) Support the revival of resilient socio-economic activities, stabilisation and social cohesion; (ii) Build institutional and beneficiary capacity; and (iii) Programme management. La présente intervention est relative au Programme d’Appui à la Reconstruction des Communautés de Base, Phase2 (PARCB-2). Ce programme est conçu pour faire suite aux actions de démobilisation et de désarmement en amont entreprises par le Gouvernement en vue de stabiliser les populations, d’améliorer les revenus et les conditions de vie des populations affectées par la crise politico-militaire à travers la restauration de la cohésion sociale et le vivre ensemble. Le programme devrait permettre de renforcer les acquis des opérations du PARCB-1 et PARCB-1 Additionnel dans les zones déjà couvertes et de faire son extension à l’intérieur du pays d’une part, et de faire la promotion de l’emploi et le développement de l’entreprenariat à travers des activités agropastorales (de l’aviculture, de la pisciculture, de l’apiculture, la production laitière, etc.), de l’artisan minier et le renforcement du processus de réinsertion communautaire d’autre part. Le PARCB-2 s’articulera autour de trois (3) composantes suivantes : (i) Appui à la relance des activités socio-économiques résilientes, à la Stabilisation et la cohésion sociale, (ii) Renforcement de capacités institutionnelles des bénéficiaires ; et (iii) Gestion du programme. The sectoral objective of the second phase of the programme is to facilitate reintegration and increase access to basic socio-economic services for populations affected by the politico-military crisis. L’objectif sectoriel de la seconde phase du programme est de faciliter la réinsertion et accroitre l’accès aux services socio-économiques de base des populations affectées par la crise politico-militaire. The direct beneficiaries are the 880,000 inhabitants of the project area, 51% of whom are women. In addition to these direct beneficiaries, the indirect beneficiaries include the inhabitants of neighbouring prefectures, local and national service providers, financial intermediaries, etc. In addition to the potential beneficiaries for the social infrastructure to be upgraded as well as the direct and indirect jobs expected, the PARCB II will make it possible to train about 5000 unemployed young people aged 15 to 25 and to ensure their sustainable socio-professional reintegration. Les bénéficiaires directs du programme sont constitués des 880 000 habitants des zones du projet dont 51% sont des femmes. A ces premiers, s’ajoutent les bénéficiaires indirects qui sont les habitants des préfectures avoisinantes, les prestataires locaux et nationaux, les intermédiaires financiers. Sans compter les bénéficiaires potentiels pour les infrastructures sociales à mettre à niveau ainsi que les emplois directs et indirects escomptés, le PARCB II permettra de former environ 5000 jeunes désœuvrés de 15 à 25 ans et d’assurer leur réinsertion socio professionnelle durable.

Central African Republic - Project to support public-private dialogue in the Central African Republic Centrafrique - Projet d'appui au dialogue public-privé en République Centrafricaine The proposed operation concerns a grant of UA 1 million to the Central African Republic (CAR), under Pillar III of the Transition Support Facility (TSF), for the implementation of the Public Private Dialogue Support Project (PADPP). Indeed, the country faces many challenges, including the mobilisation of sufficient resources to finance its National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan for the Central African Republic (RCPCA) and the development of the private sector to make it the main engine of the structural transformation of the economy. The justification for the PADPP also lies in the need to continue the support that the Bank has provided to CAR in the areas of governance and public finance management as well as in improving the business climate. The needs in terms of capacity building were assessed in a participatory manner with the various stakeholders and some Technical and Financial Partners (TFPs). Within the framework of the PADPP, the Bank intends to consolidate its commitment in CAR to strengthen governance in order to support increased mobilisation of domestic resources and promotion of the private sector. The PADPP is thus divided into three (3) components: (i) Capacity building for public-private dialogue; (ii) Strengthening the implementation of fiscal policy; and (iii) Project management. The project will contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the population by helping to improve the business climate (by reducing the time needed to pay taxes and increasing the formalisation of SMEs) while contributing to the efficiency of the tax policy (by reducing tax expenditure). The implementation period is thirty (30) months. La présente intervention porte sur un don d’un montant d’un million d’UC à la République Centrafricaine (RCA), au titre du pilier III de la Facilité d’Appui à la Transition (FAT), en vue de la mise en œuvre du Projet d’appui au dialogue public-privé (PADPP). En effet, le pays fait face à de nombreux défis parmi lesquels figurent, la mobilisation suffisante de ressources pour le financement de son Plan National de Relèvement et de consolidation de la paix en Centrafrique (RCPCA) et le développement du secteur privé pour en faire le moteur principal de la transformation structurelle de l’économie. La justification du PADPP réside aussi dans la nécessité de poursuivre les appuis que la Banque a fourni à la RCA dans les domaines de la gouvernance et de la gestion des finances publiques mais aussi dans l’amélioration du climat des affaires. Les besoins en termes de renforcement de capacités ont été évalués de manière participative avec les différents acteurs et certains Partenaires Techniques et financiers (PTFs). Dans le cadre du PAPDD, la Banque entend consolider son engagement en RCA visant à renforcer la gouvernance pour soutenir une mobilisation accrue des ressources internes et la promotion du secteur privé. Le PADPP se décline ainsi en trois (3) composantes : (i) Renforcement des capacités du dialogue public-privé ; (ii) Renforcement de la mise en œuvre de la politique fiscale ; et (iii) Gestion du projet. Le projet contribuera à l’amélioration des conditions de vie de la population en participant à l’amélioration du climat des affaires (avec la réduction du temps nécessaire pour payer ses impôts et l’augmentation de la formalisation des PMEs) tout en contribuant à l’efficacité de la politique fiscale (avec la réduction des dépenses fiscales). La durée d’exécution est de trente mois (30) mois. The overall objective of the intervention is to strengthen the public-private dialogue in order to improve the fiscal dimension of the business environment. This consists of contributing to the strengthening of economic resilience by enabling government structures to accompany and assist private enterprises on fiscal aspects, thus contributing to strengthening revenue mobilisation. More specifically, the project aims to support: (i) the reinforcement of skills in the area of taxation by producing specific studies on the interaction between the government and the private sector on tax issues such as the time needed to make declarations or access to public contracts; (ii) the reinforcement and facilitation of the framework for state-private sector dialogue on specific tax issues; (iii) support to tax policy on aspects such as the effectiveness of taxation of the informal sector and e-commerce, thus contributing to revenue mobilisation; (iv) an analysis of emerging financing opportunities, such as green and climate finance. L’objectif global de l’intervention est de renforcer le dialogue public-privé afin d’améliorer la dimension fiscale de l’environnement des affaires. Ceci consiste en la contribution au renforcement de la résilience économique en permettant aux structures gouvernementales d’accompagner et d’assister les entreprises privées sur les aspects fiscaux contribuant ainsi à renforcer la mobilisation des recettes. Plus spécifiquement, le projet vise à appuyer: (i) le renforcement des compétences en matière de fiscalité par la production d’études spécifiques sur l’interaction entre Gouvernement et secteur privé sur les questions fiscales telles que le temps nécessaire pour faire ses déclarations ou l’accès à la commande publique ; (ii) le renforcement et l’animation du cadre de dialogue État-privé sur les questions spécifiques à la fiscalité ; (iii) l’appui à la politique fiscale sur des aspects comme l’effectivité de la taxation du secteur informel et de l’e-commerce contribuant ainsi à la mobilisation des recettes ; (iv) une analyse des opportunités des financements émergents, tels que la finance verte et la finance climatique. The direct beneficiaries of the project are: the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Cooperation and the Ministry of Finance. The project activities will indirectly benefit other structures such as the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, Handicrafts and the Informal Sector. Employers' structures, especially those involved in dialogue with the Government, will also be indirect beneficiaries of the project. The institutional capacities of the beneficiary structures will be strengthened, in particular through training and support, by making high-level expertise available and preparing studies and analytical work that contribute to the development of knowledge. The indirect beneficiaries of the project will be the citizens of the CAR, which should enable them to benefit from more opportunities to undertake and/or obtain employment as a result of the improved business climate. Les bénéficiaires directs du projet sont : le Ministère de l’Économie, du plan et de la Coopération et le Ministère des finances. Les activités du projet bénéficieront indirectement à d’autres structures comme le Ministère du Commerce et l’industrie ainsi que le Ministère des petites et Moyennes Entreprises, de l’artisanat et du secteur informel. Les structures patronales, notamment celles impliquées dans un dialogue avec le Gouvernement seront également des bénéficiaires indirects du projet. Les capacités institutionnelles des structures bénéficiaires seront renforcées à travers notamment la formation et l’accompagnement par la mise à disposition d’une expertise de haut niveau et l’élaboration des études et travaux analytiques qui concourent au développement des connaissances. Les bénéficiaires indirects du projet seront les citoyens de la RCA, qui devraient leur permettre de bénéficier de plus d’opportunités d’entreprendre et/ou d’obtenir un emploi du fait de l’amélioration du climat des affaires.

Marriage: No Child's Play Mali What - a 5 year programme (2016-2020) to reduce child marriage and its adverse effects on young women and girls. Where - India, Pakistan, Malawi, Niger and Mali. The prevalence of child marriage is high in all of these countries. Niger has the highest rate of child marriage in the world. Every 3 in 4 girls marry before their 18th birthday (76%), whereas India has the highest number of child brides in the world. More than 10 million women aged 20 to 24 years old are married before the age of 15. Within countries, we will aim to target geographic “hotspots” with high proportions and numbers of girls at risk of child marriage. This includes rural and hard to reach communities. With Whom - Working closely together as an alliance with in-country governmental and non-governmental partners, the four alliance members, Save the Children the Netherlands, Oxfam Novib, Simavi and Population Council, will coordinate with other Dutch, international (UNICEF and UNFPA) and national programmes aimed at reducing child marriage and collaborate with the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign affairs and its embassies. Where possible, we will align our advocacy work with Girls not Brides. theory of Change and strategies - The MTBA will work in countries where child marriage prevalence is an important impediment to achieving adolescent wellbeing. The two crucial components of the Theory of Change that we will apply in each country include girls’ empowerment and changing harmful customs, traditions, norms and practices. To ensure structural cross-sectoral prevention and response towards girls at risk of early marriage and already married, we will strengthen child protection systems in countries where this is opportune. We will advocate for the development or amendment of laws, policies and/or action plans and the implementation thereof. 1. Empowering at risk-, and already married adolescents, girls in particular, with life skills education (LSE), CSE and SRHR information. We will strengthen adolescents' protective assets and equip them with knowledge and skills to navigate the challenges and opportunities in the transitions from puberty to adulthood. 2. Providing alternatives to child marriage and mitigate the impact on married girls, through enhancing access to education-, economic opportunities-, and child protection systems for girls and their families. 3. Increasing access to SRHR services for young people. To achieve outcome 3, SRHR services need to be available, affordable, acceptable and appropriate. Communities need to allow unmarried and married young people to access SRH services, and healthcare providers need to be able to deliver quality youth-friendly SRHR services. Young people can be linked to services through outreach and voucher systems. 4. Changing social norms. Challenging harmful customs, traditions, norms and practices is crucial in addressing child marriage. 5. Influencing legal and policy frameworks. A supportive policy and legal environment is crucial to our cause. Girls at risk of child marriage and married girls and their family members.

NAP 1325 Monitor NAP 1325 Monitor will carry out a full implementation analysis of Afghanistan's NAP 1325 over a period of four years consisting of robust monitoring, related in-depth research, evaluations, and training and mentoring to build the capacity of government and civil society organizations to support the operationalization of NAP 1325 in Afghanistan.
Expected Outcome: NAP 1325 Monitor will contribute to good governance in gender-focused programming and policy implementation through informed and constructive engagement and advocacy by civil society aimed at local (provincial), national and international stakeholders. This includes a strong focus on multi-actor partnerships, notably the role of civil society at large and women's rights organizations, in particular, to create linkages between society and its public institutions. These linkages are expected to result in government transparency, responsiveness, and accountability on its commitment to protect and promote women's basic rights, as articulated in the NAP 1325. The key, multi-faceted, outcome of this program will be increased capacity and evidence-based responsiveness of public institutions to protection and promotion of women's rights in Afghanistan consistent with the requirements of UNSCR 1325, related Resolutions, and Afghanistan's NAP 1325. The specific objectives of NAP 1325 Monitor are to:
1. Establish baseline conditions based on the available information, particularly APPRO's own ongoing work on challenges faced by women throughout Afghanistan, and report negative and positive changes for action and learning, respectively. The findings from ongoing monitoring are expected to feed into state-civil society interface on WPS objectives as outlined in Afghanistan's NAP 1325. Ongoing monitoring will compile an up-to-date evidence base for advocacy by women and their organizations and responsive action by the government. Monitoring will be carried out using a standardized methodology based on a comprehensive set of indicators developed from the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSCR 1325), subsequent related resolutions, and Afghanistan's NAP 1325.
2. Generate practical policy recommendations for interventions by civil society and the government on meeting WPS objectives as specified in UNSCR 1325 and Afghanistan's NAP 1325. APPRO will work with women-centered civil society organizations on evidence-based, constructive advocacy to engage with state actors on how to utilize evidence-based, constructive advocacy messaging for more inclusive, relevant, and effective policy-making on WPS.
3. Disseminate information from the monitoring and related research to national and international audiences through APPRO-Europe in Brussels and other international fora with a focus on Afghanistan and/or women's peace and security. This monitoring, research, and training program is also expected to prove useful in identifying entry points for the implementation of Sweden's own NAP 1325 and its implications for Swedish foreign policy and Sweden's development aid programming in Afghanistan.

Programm Armutsbekämpfung und lokale Entwicklung PLCPDL - Développement Local Das Programm Armutsbekämpfung und lokale Entwicklung, das in Kooperation von FZ/TZ(DED) durchgeführt wird, verfolgt das Oberziel, die soziale und wirtschaftliche Lage der armen Bevölkerung in der Programmregion Hinche durch rechenschaftspflichtige und transparente Regierungsführung durch die lokalen Behörden zu verbessern. Als entwicklungspolitisches Oberziel sollen lokale Verwaltungs- und Regierungsstrukturen (Kommunen und Kommunalsektionen) ihren Entwicklungsauftrag wahrnehmen und soziale und wirtschaftliche Dienstleistungen entsprechend dem Bedarf und der Nachfrage der armen Bevölkerung bereitstellen. Programmziele im engeren Sinne sind (i) die Befähigung von Kommunen und Zielgruppe, in eigener Regie Projekte durchzuführen, damit sie die Hauptakteure der lokalen Entwicklung werden und ihr Humankapital erhöhen, (ii) die Stärkung der administrativen Leistungsfähigkeit der lokalen Strukturen, um den Projektzyklus armutsorientiert, transparent und effizient durch-führen zu können und (iii) die Anwendung von Prinzipien wie Partizipation, Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter und Rechenschaftspflicht auf der lokalen Ebene im Rahmen der Erarbeitung und Durchführung von Investitionsplänen und Projekten.Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist ein Teil der rd. 610.000 Einwohner in den 12 Kommunen des Départment Centre, die im Rahmen des Programms vom Regionalbüro des FAES in Hinche (Bureau Regional) betreut werden. Die bei Programmprüfung ebenfalls in das Interventionsgebiet einbezogenen fünf Kommunen des Département du Nord und Nord-Est gehören nicht zum originären Einflussbereich des FAES-Büros in Hinche. Deshalb war mit Genehmigung des BMZ eine Anpassung des Interventionsbereichs vorgenommen worden.Das Vorhaben umfasst vier Förderkomponenten auf lokaler Ebene: (i) Erarbeitung kommunaler Entwicklungs- und Investitionspläne, (ii) Projekte zur Verbesserung der sozialen und wirtschaft-lichen Dienstleistungen sowie zur Steigerung der Produktivität und Wertschöpfung von Land-wirtschaft, Handwerk und Handel, (iii) Stärkung der Leistungsfähigkeit und Struktur des FAES, der Kommunen, Kommunalsektionen und Stärkung der Leistungsfähigkeit spezialisierter Dienstleister für die Durchführung der Projekte (Berater, kleinere Bauunternehmen, Sozialarbei-ter) und (iv) Krisenprävention.Das FZ/TZ(DED)-Programm bettet sich in die strategischen Schwerpunkt- und Querschnitts-themen ein, die die haitianische Übergangsregierung im Juli 2004 mit Unterstützung der Geber-gemeinschaft im Übergangsrahmenabkommen für die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (Cadre de Coopération Intérimaire 2004-2006 - CCI) formuliert hat. Das Programm Armutsbekämpfung und lokale Entwicklung fügt sich auch in die von der haitianischen Regierung nach dem Erdbeben vom 12. Januar 2010 neu formulierten Schwerpunkte für die Entwicklung des Landes ein, in denen unter anderem die Notwendigkeit zur Dezentralisierung erstmals besonders betont wurde. Die Gesamtkosten der FZ-Komponente des Kooperationsvorhabens werden durch den Umfang der Finanzierung bestimmt. Sie belaufen sich auf rd. 8,4 Mio. EUR, von denen rd. 0,4 Mio. EUR aus haitianischen Mitteln und 8,0 Mio. EUR aus FZ-Mitteln finanziert werden sollen.

Tuvalu Environment and Climate Change Initiative Tuvalu is experiencing increasing climate change-induced damage to human and economic development, with adverse effects already experienced by its small and dispersed communities living in highly vulnerable, low-lying atoll islands. There is a high risk of further climate-change related damage including irreversible loss of habitable areas of the country. Tuvalu’s natural resource base and livelihood opportunities of its communities are seriously undermined by the combined effects of sea-level rise, increased frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones, rapidly progressing coastal erosion, increasing crop damage, and reductions of fresh water supply. This initiative supports policy objectives that minimise climate change impacts and strengthen capacity on environmental protection and disaster preparedness. It will also assist Tuvalu implement relevant environmental adaptation, protection and risk reduction measures, including Tuvalu's National Adaptation Plan of Actin (NAPA). NAPA ide

Sealing up Malaria Interventions to Achieve Universal Coverage Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Malawi and it accounts for 38 percent on all Out-Patient Department (OPD) attendance. The Malaria inpatient death rate is 20 percent in under 5 years and 3 percent in those over 5 years of age. According to Malawi’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey in 2006, 21 percent of the population have access to anti-malarial drugs within 24 hours.. The Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) usage was at 24.7 percent and 25.6 percent for children under five and pregnant women respectively. The program supported by this grant focuses on the diagnosis of suspected Malaria cases with rapid diagnostic tests and distribution of Long Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) as these are major gaps identified and in line with universal access to Malaria interventions. The goal is to reduce the burden of Malaria to a level of no public health significance and to achieve universal coverage for all Malaria control interventions, particularly diagnosis and prevention. The activities include procurement, distribution, and storage of LLINs, community mobilization, and behaviour change communication.

FGG BE ToC 1: Improved Corporate Conduct In 2016 Both Ends will build on the work of previous years and continue to engage in advocacy work in the Netherlands and abroad as well as in joint capacity building activities focused on enabling partners in the global South to among other things actively participate in national and international advocacy processes. We will focus on a number of policy processes concerning the implementation of improved standards, regulation, safeguards limiting the impacts of (multinational) companies, financers and investors on human rights and the environment. Both ENDS will amongst other things focus on working with local partners on promoting and monitoring states’ implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) in developing countries, as well as the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the SDGs. The Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) procedures and the infrastructure sector will be major points of discussion for Both ENDS within the Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue processes of the Dutch Government. Furthermore Both ENDS will be focusing on the fields of agro-ecology and small-scale land users. In 2016, Both ENDS aims to innovate this field together with local partners through technological advances, diversification of crops and trees, sustainable conservation of ecosystems, and improving land use practices through participatory guarantee systems. In addition, Both ENDS will be working towards alternative market access spaces such as continuing work in the Rich Forest and Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) activities. In the agro-commodity sector Both ENDS will continue to be active in various platforms such the Dutch Soy Coalition and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), where Both ENDS serves on the board of governors and several working groups, to monitor companies and governments to ensure that they live up to commitments and provide space and redress for affected people. In 2016 Both ENDS intends to continue to liaise with the Dutch Minister, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies to concretise their commitments towards a 100% sustainable production chain and imports. In 2016 Both ENDS will explore how to develop the normative legal case for divestment from fossil fuel related companies and pension funds. This will include exploring the use of OECD Guidelines for filing cases against individual companies for their contribution to climate impact as well as using multi-stakeholder processes to influence pension funds and institutional investors. Both ENDS and partners are involved in various grievance mechanisms, and will continue this work in 2016 by supporting workers, communities, individuals and CSOs in the Global South seeking to address and, in some instances, prevent human rights abuses related to corporate activity through both legal proceedings (in host and home jurisdictions) and through Non-Judicial Grievance Mechanisms (NJGMs). Both ENDS will continue to support various cases in amongst other places Brazil, Senegal and Panama against the for example the National Contact Point (NCP) and the FMO. Both ENDS will organise capacity building workshops with local partner CSOs in order to improve their monitoring and advocacy capacity as well as capacity to handle grievance cases.

FGG BE ToC 3: Improved Financial and Tax Systems Both ENDS will continue to analyse the role of development financial institutions (DFIs) as key sources of finance for financial sector reform in developing countries, in order to advocate with Southern partners, such as like Afrodad and Tax Justice Africa. Special attention will be given to access for local, female and young entrepreneurs, small-scale male and female food producers, poor clients, rural areas. The UN Sustainable Development Goals and the COP21 climate talks agreed upon by 2015 will serve as a basis to compare whether the roles the DFIs play in relation to the financial sector contribute to the agreed UN goals. Both ENDS will continue her working on climate finance, with a special focus on the Green Climate Fund in order to make sure the actions of the GCF will be in line with the interests of local communities (including their access to the fund, transparency and gender). As an official civil society observer, we try to empower and strengthen the capacities of southern CSOs to actively engage with and have access to climate finance (with a special focus on the Green Climate Fund and strengthen their access by attending board meetings, deliver inputs and comments, invite southern partners to work with them towards accreditation and funding). We also work on the role of tax havens in transactions supported by Atradius DSB and other private sector development support for Dutch corporations in sectors such as water management, coastal defence, port development and land reclamation, and off-shore infrastructure development. It will advocate due diligence procedures to require the exclusion of artificial constructions that result in tax evasion. Both ENDS will build on existing work on Dutch private sector finance (e.g. Dutch Good Growth Fund, FMO) and start monitoring recently introduced programmes like DRIVE and Develop2Build as well as the contributions of Atradius DSB. Both ENDS and partners will seek to influence and monitor the standards, policies and operations of development banks the Netherlands has a stake in (including the AIIB, FMO, World Bank) and Atradius DSB with the aim to strengthen them. In order to do so, Both ENDS will develop case studies and support local communities as advisors in developing and filing complaints where needed. Local partners will be involved in these case studies, allowing for joint advocacy activities aiming to address eventual social, environmental and/or human rights related concerns. Joint advocacy efforts will be elaborated to enhance the transparency and accountability of development banks and the Dutch ECA. Both ENDS will highlight the impacts of Atradius DSB support for transactions and IFI investments in the fossil fuel chain. The activities will contribute to mutual capacity building, so that Southern CSOs can closely observe the investment and policies of emerging DFIs and IFIs, and monitor public funding of the private sector in their countries. FGG members will also support these CSOs enabling them to participate in policy debates, present case studies and participate in international meetings. Cooperation with local organisations in the development of case studies and complaints will generate awareness and capacity for these CSOs to promote effective enforcement of standards and policies of development banks and ECAs. Both ENDS has long term experience applying the Negotiated Approach. A method for involving communities in participatory and climate proof integrated water management and in influencing water related investments. Both ENDS and selected partners from the AfriWater and IndoWater Communities of Practice will increase their knowledge and lobby capacity related to the key public institutions investing in the water sector in their country and region. These institutions invest both directly in specific water related projects and programmes, and indirectly by supporting key water governance institutions such as AMCOW, AMCEN or the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works. The selected partners will first study regional, country and (sub-) basin investment plans of the most relevant international financial institutions (e.g. 5-year country plans of the World Bank). Both ENDS will analyse relevant current or planned support of the Dutch government in the water sector (develop2build, DRIVE or ECA/FMO support to Dutch companies). Aforementioned studies and analysis will determine the selection of basins. Examples of basins with strong links to the Dutch Water sector and/or IFIs identified so far are Tana Delta in Kenya, Cotonou basin in Benin and Jakarta coastal area in Indonesia. The increased awareness and knowledge base will form the basis for further training for selected and potential partners and for a joint lobby and advocacy strategy for the coming years to be discussed with selected partners halfway 2016 in regional and country workshops in Africa and Indonesia respectively.

FGG BE ToC 2: Improved Trade and Investment Both ENDS and partners will seek to influence and monitor the planned and ongoing EU negotiations of trade and investment agreements with a focus on countries in Asia and Sub Sahara Africa. This also includes the implementation of the outcomes of 10th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC10) and the Post-Nairobi WTO agenda. Both ENDS will continue her working on the EU ISDS reform agenda and state of play of ISDS negotiations between the EU and Southern countries. Together with Southern partners Both ENDS will produce analysis of the investment chapters in EU trade and investment agreements to contribute to the development of alternative policy approaches to the current trade and investment regime. The associated activities will contribute to increasing the capacity of civil society actors to do research, network and advocate on the EU investment protection agenda. Both ENDS support of CSOs wil focus on enabling them to participate in policy debates, present studies and analysis and participate in international meetings

Moreover, the project will support women and men small-scale producers in the target landscape in accessing markets and modern value chains. It thereby aims to realize socio-economic benefits for the herders and farmers, while incentivizing them to manage their resources sustainably. Herders and farmers are predominantly men only about 4% of women own property / house, as opposed to 96% men, while 12% own land, as opposed to 88 % men. Only 10% of women make decisions about land-related activities, while 50% of women who own land are not active in the process decision-making on land-related activities. The project, thus, works towards achieving full and productive employment and decent work in rural areas. The project seeks to achieve additional income from enhanced value chains, and/or access to markets for at least 200 households in 28 villages (of which at least 50% women). A baseline income survey will be conducted at the beginning of the project implementation.

Bridging the Gaps 2 Mainline Bridging the Gaps is an alliance of five Dutch NGOs, four global key population networks and more than 70 grassroots organisations bringing together a wealth of international expertise on key populations. We are community driven and apply rights-based and evidence informed approaches to HIV and key populations. Bridging the Gaps works with a Theory of Change approach. A Theory of Change is a description of a list of events that is expected to lead to a particular desired outcome. It is a visualization how change is believed to happen. In 2016, representatives of the PWUD community developed a specified Theory of Change that consists of short-,medium, and long term outcomes. The Theory of Change describes how we plan to realize meaningful involvement of PWUD organisations in the development of government regulations; to regain their human rights; and increased access to health insurance and health services. Through innovation and by building on previous work, we will strengthen civil society organisations’ ability to: 1. We facilitate community development - Providing paralegal services to make sure people are aware of their rights after arrest and to guarantee access to their legal rights in Indonesia; - Building the capacity of civil society on service delivery. 2. We advocate for the continuously strengthening of services and upholding human rights - Conducting research into the treatment center-system of Indonesia; - Conducting a follow-up study around crystal-meth use in Indonesia. 3. Deliver inclusive, rights-based and gender sensitive services - Developing new services for young PWUD aimed at overdose prevention and preventing switching from smoking to injecting drugs; - Piloting a project directed at crystal-meth users based on previously conducted research on sexual risk behaviours.

Promotion and strengthening of Juvenile Restorative Justice in SICA countries Promozione e rafforzamento della Giustizia Giovanile Restaurativa nei Paesi del SICA Youth violence is a Central America's bigger problem. It is linked to social and family fragmentation and to extortion, often related to drug trafficking. So far, measures to deal with it have been essentially repressive. IILA, together with SICA, agreed on an intervention Framework based on Juvenile Restorative Justice, an approach based on the possibility to repairing the damage caused to the victim and the restoring of social relationships between the offender, the victim, and the community they belong to. The aims of the Project, with a 3 budget of 2MEUR and a three-year duration, are to strengthen the Juvenile Justice Systems in the SICA countries, as part of the Framework of SICA Central American Security Strategy and to support in these countries the review, design and adaptation of a Juvenile Restorative Justice model as a strategy for the prevention of violence and the reintegration of minors in conflict with the Law. The main components are a) advocacy, b) strengthening and development of the operators' skills also through field work and c) social awareness and communication. The fund for the creation of micro-projects for experimenting this approach in specific Central American realities will be an important part. Given its pilot nature, governance mechanisms will be equally important. La violenza minorile è uno dei maggiori problemi del Centroamerica. È legata in particolare alla frammentazione sociale e famigliare ed all’estorsione, spesso relazionata con il narcotraffico. Finora le misure per fronteggiarla sono state essenzialmente repressive. IILA, assieme al SICA, hanno concordato un Quadro di intervento basato sulla Giustizia Minorile Riparativa, un approccio incentrato non unicamente sul castigo ma sulle possibilità di riparazione del danno alla vittima e di restaurare le relazioni sociali fra il trasgressore, la vittima e la comunità di appartenenza. Le finalità del progetto, dall’importo di 2MEUR e della durata triennale sono rafforzare i Sistemi di Giustizia Minorile nei Paesi del SICA, nel quadro della Strategia di Sicurezza del Centroamerica del SICA e supportare in tali Paesi la revisione, progettazione e adeguamento di un modello di Giustizia Minorile Restaurativa come strategia per la prevenzione della violenza ed il reinserimento dei Minori in Conflitto con la Legge. Le principali componenti riguardano a) l’incidenza politica, b) il rafforzamento e lo sviluppo di competenze degli operatori anche attraverso la sperimentazione sul campo e c) la sensibilizzazione e la comunicazione sociale. Molto importante sarà il fondo per la realizzazione di microprogetti per la sperimentazione di tale approccio in specifiche realtà centroamericane. Dato il suo carattere pilota altrettanto importanti saranno i meccanismi di governo.

Multi Donor Trust Fund for Women Entrepreneurship Development Project The project development objective of the WEDP is to increase the earnings and employment of MSEs owned or partly owned by the participating female entrepreneurs in the targeted cities. This will be achieved by: i) tailoring financial instruments to the needs of the participants and ensuring availability of finance; and ii) developing the entrepreneurial and technical skills of the target group and supporting cluster , technology and product development for their businesses.
Key PDO results indicators will be (1) enterprise earnings and (2) enterprise employment. In addition, intermediate results indicators for the sub-components are included; for details refer to the Results Framework, Annex 1.
The project beneficiaries are micro and small enterprises in the targeted areas that are: owned or partly owned by women entrepreneurs, not full-time in school, and who are committed to growing their enterprise.
The program is designed so that female entrepreneur participants choose the WEDP activity that is most beneficial for growing their MSE, and no compulsory combination or sequence of activities is imposed. Women interested in participating in WEDP and fulfilling the criteria for project beneficiaries listed above will be issued a WEDP membership card before any WEDP finance, training or services are granted. The members will go through different selection criteria depending on the specific WEDP activity: (1) Those who seek finance will go through an “eligibility for finance and granting procedure for growth-oriented female entrepreneurs†as determined by the financial institution involved, (2) those who want to be trained will be deemed eligible by a skills enhancement/training and selecting mechanism, and (3) participants within clusters chosen for WEDP support will be qualified by a separate set of criteria. Estimates of demand for microfinance and projections of loan disbursement suggest that the WEDP funds for this component will cater for at least 17.500 women entrepreneurs . Given the indications from the targeted group that training and skills development are necessary to grow their business, the aim of the entrepreneurial and technical skill enhancement is to offer such training to all WEDP members that takes WEDP microfinance. Adding the estimated number of WEDP members that would only seek training indicates that the total number of WEDP participants will be around 20,000 female entrepreneurs. Further details of the selection processes and expected number of participants are presented under each component, below.

Modern Energy Cooking Services Existing strategies are struggling to solve the problem of unsustainable, unhealthy but enduring cooking practices which place a particular burden on women. After decades of investments in improving biomass cooking, focused largely on increasing the efficiency of biomass use in domestic stoves, the technologies developed are said to have had limited impact on development outcomes. The Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme aims to break out of this “business-as-usual” cycle by investigating how to rapidly accelerate a transition from biomass to genuinely ‘clean’ cooking (i.e. with electricity or gas). By integrating modern energy cooking services into the planning for electricity access, quality, reliability and sustainability, MECS hopes to leverage investment in renewable energies (both grid and off-grid) to address the clean cooking challenge. MECS is implementing a strategy focused on including the cooking needs of households into the investment and action on access to affordable, reliable, sustainable modern energy for all.

Kenya-UK development award to support the design of a whole system approach to facilitate the
functioning of the baby friendly community initiative within the Kenyan health system This project aims to build capacity & strengthen understanding of stakeholder research needs to
facilitate the effective functioning of the Baby Friendly Community Initiative (BFCI; a community-based
public health programme supporting health, growth & development of infants) within African primary
care health systems. Members of our team have shown the BFCI’s efficacy within a randomised
controlled trial (RCT) in Kenya and the Kenyan government is committed to scaling the BFCI. The
challenge of this transition from RCT to scale is to embed the programme effectively into the health
system working with existing resources. The team will engage with community, national and regional
stakeholders to; 1) Share understanding of the BFCI, 2) Identify needs for research and develop a
whole systems-based strategy for the BFCI uptake and dissemination in Kenya and into other African
health systems, and 3) Build capacity in health economics and systems science between the UK &
Kenyan teams.

The Africa Clean Energy Technical Assistance Facility (ACE TAF) The Africa Clean Energy (ACE) Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) programme is a 4-year programme funded by the UK Government Department for International Development (DFID). The objective of the programme is to catalyse a market-based approach for private sector delivery of renewable energy electrification technologies, with a specific focus on high quality stand-alone solar systems. The ACE TAF is part of the broader ACE Business programme, consisting of the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) Renewable Energy and Adaptation to Climate Change Technologies Household Solar (REACT HS) funding windows and the quality standard workstream implemented by IFC Lighting Africa in five countries. This will lead to improved access to modern energy services for people and communities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with an emphasis on affordable access for poor people and marginalised groups. ACE Business consists of two components, implemented by different development partners, but designed to cooperate and collaborate closely. The two components are complemented by SHS quality standards work implemented by Lighting Africa in five of the 14 ACE countries. Component 1: ACE Technical Assistance Facility (TAF): This component is implemented by Coffey International Development. The objective of ACE TAF is to improve the enabling environment for private sector delivery of access to energy through stand-alone solar systems. The programme will be implemented through three pillars: 1. Enabling Environment: Assisting governments to put in place appropriate policies and regulations, supporting market development and improving quality standards to catalyse private sector delivery of stand-alone solar systems. 2. Knowledge Management: Generating and disseminating knowledge and evidence on the success factors for, and benefits of, private sector delivery of off-grid solar energy, including the application of learning. 3. Coordination: Promoting Collaboration between ACE Business Programme components, in particular with AECF Ltd and IFC’s Lighting Africa programme, and other relevant initiatives and programmes and encouraging other donors to contribute towards ACE objectives and activities. This includes managing the overall approach to Monitoring and Evaluation for all components of the ACE Business programme.

Growth Gateway The Growth Gateway (Gateway) is a single access point for UK and African businesses to the UK Government’s offer on trade, finance, and investment.
Gateway aims to drive increased two-way trade and investment between the UK and Africa, delivering significant benefits to both the UK and African economies. It will do this by leveraging existing HMG services to business; an accessible digital presence on “GOV.UK”, the UK Government’s centralised website where all government services and information can be found; and the UK’s global network and long-standing bilateral relationships to offer advisory services to businesses and investors that efficiently resolve queries. Moreover, Gateway’s targeted interventions will further open market access and investment opportunities. Gateway will thereby deliver on the UK’s strategic priorities while providing development impact in our partner countries.
As a cross-HMG programme, Gateway brings all HMG services and offers on trade, finance, and investment to businesses under one seamless service offering. In addition to the programmes and services being offered by the implementing departments, FCDO and DIT, Gateway is positioned to enhance access to the offers of HMG departments, agencies and entities including British International Investment, UK Export Finance and BEIS. Gateway will also establish linkages to central trade and investment (T&I) services including the Centres of Excellence / UK Expertise and the Build Back Better World (B3W) Toolkit. Through its digital portal on GOV.UK, Gateway will provide a clear entry point for UK and overseas based users of HMG business services. Gateway has a managed inbox that is up and running – business enquiries are serviced through signposting or in-person advisory support as required. Gateway can also work with internal HMG users and external business users to identify and develop proposals for further in-depth support. Digital tools such as an online wizard that will allow quicker triaging of business enquiries and a marketing campaign website will further enhance access to the range of support provided.
Growth Gateway is being implemented by a joint public-private sector team from FCDO, DIT, and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG)-led consortium of PA Consulting, Tetra Tech (TT) and Invest Africa.

Contribution to ICRC Assistance, Protection and Cooperation Activities in Niger Contributo al Comitato Internazionale della Croce Rossa per le attività di assistenza, protezione, prevenzione e cooperazione in Niger The Italian Agency for Development Cooperation is contributing to the implementation of the present initiative led by the International Red Cross Committee (ICRC), in collaboration with the Red Cross Society of Niger. This project aims to protect and assist people affected by armed conflicts, abuses and violence, while restoring or maintaining their livelihoods, making sure that the rule of law is respected. ICRC will ensure prompt and adequate health and nutrition assistance to victims of violence, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable population, which includes migrants, children, women, persons with disabilities and widows. Strategies will be adopted in order to ensure and enhance the standards imposed by International Humanitarian Law between authorities and armed groups, especially in areas along Niger's borders. Furthermore, the ICRC will facilitate restoring family links, reconnecting members of families separated by armed conflict, detention or migration; and it will ensure that families are informed of the death of relatives during armed conflicts or along the migration route. The ICRC aims to ease overcrowding prisons, a phenomenon that, together with inadequate health-care and poor hygienic conditions, causes high rates of malnutrition and frequent epidemics affecting the physical and psychological state of prisoners, ultimately compromising their living conditions. Moreover, prisoners in jails will be assisted to ensure that their judicial rights are respected. Once released, prisoners will be provided with money and clothes to enable them to return home. In order to prevent and limit the spread of hygiene-related diseases, the ICRC will promote good hygiene practices and will facilitate access to adequate and free health-care and physical rehabilitation, and will support health facilities providing technical and material support, including staff training. Furthermore, in collaboration with local authorities, the ICRC will install water points to increase water supply in rural and urban areas of the Diffa region and in border areas, which are currently hosting large numbers of displaced persons and migrants. L’Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo contribuisce alla realizzazione della presente iniziativa promossa da parte del Comitato della Croce Rossa Internazionale (CICR), in collaborazione con la Società della Croce Rossa Nigerina. Tale progetto si prefigge di proteggere e assistere le persone colpite da conflitti armati, abusi e violenze, ripristinando o mantenendo i loro mezzi di sussistenza, e accertandosi che norme e leggi siano rispettate. Il CIRC assicurerà pronta e adeguata assistenza sanitaria e alimentare alle vittime degli episodi di violenza, prestando particolare attenzione alla popolazione più vulnerabile, che include migranti, bambini, donne, persone con disabilità e vedove. Verranno adottate strategie al fine di assicurare gli standard imposti dal Diritto Umanitario Internazionale tra le autorità e i gruppi armati, soprattutto nelle zone lungo le frontiere del Niger. Il CICR agirà al fine di facilitare il ricongiungimento familiare tra le famiglie separate dal conflitto armato, dalla detenzione o dalla migrazione, assicurando che le famiglie siano informate della morte dei parenti durante gli scontri o lungo la rotta migratoria. Verranno prese misure per far fronte al sovraffollamento delle carceri, un fenomeno che insieme a un’insufficiente assistenza sanitaria provoca alti tassi di malnutrizione e frequenti epidemie ripercuotendosi negativamente sullo stato fisico e psicologico dei detenuti, compromettendone le condizioni di vita. Inoltre i prigionieri nelle carceri verranno assistiti al fine di garantire che i loro diritti giudiziari vengano rispettati e verranno loro forniti soldi e vestiti per consentir loro di rientrare a casa una volta rilasciati. Il CICR promuoverà buone pratiche igieniche per prevenire e limitare la diffusione di malattie legate all'igiene, facilitando l’accesso a un’adeguata e gratuita assistenza sanitaria e riabilitazione fisica, e sosterrà le strutture ospedaliere fornendo materiali e preparando il personale sanitario. Inoltre, in collaborazione con le autorità locali, il CICR installerà punti d'acqua per aumentare l'approvvigionamento idrico nelle aree rurali e urbane della regione di Diffa e nelle regioni di confine che ospitano un gran numero di sfollati e migranti.

Agroecological intensification and valorisation of the leather supply chain for the inclusive economic development of the Agadez and Tahoua Regions Intensificazione agroecologica e valorizzazione della filiera pelli e cuoio per lo sviluppo economico inclusivo delle Regioni di Agadez e Tahoua” The initiative aims to contribute to increasing the welfare of the populations of the Tahoua and Agadez regions, priority areas in Niger for the Agency, starting with the improvement of their food security conditions, by increasing the incomes of these populations, in particular women and young people, through the enhancement of agri-food systems and the leather value chain. Despite occupying a large part of the population, agro-forestry systems are poorly productive due to population growth and climate change, which result in soil degeneration, poor availability of technical means, poor valorisation of traditional knowledge, poor dissemination of technical skills, limited access to markets and gender inequalities. The objectives of the initiative will be achieved through two distinct strategies: agroecology (an integrated approach that optimises the interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment, to ensure a productive, sustainable, equitable and climate change resilient agri-food system, enhancing social aspects and traditional knowledge) and market system development (which aims to enhance the value of the leather supply chain, through an improvement in the quality of techniques and products for not only economic but above all social and environmental improvement). The beneficiaries of the initiative will be operators, especially women and young people, in the agri-food and leather sectors of the two regions. This intervention is in continuity with AICS initiatives, aligns with national policies and is consistent with joint European programming. Moreover, it comes at a time of economic and social vulnerability that has affected the country following the coup d'état of 26 July 2023 and the resulting trade and financial sanctions. L’iniziativa intende contribuire all’aumento del benessere delle popolazioni delle regioni di Tahoua e Agadez, aree prioritarie del Niger per l’Agenzia, a partire dal miglioramento delle loro condizioni di sicurezza alimentare, tramite l’aumento dei redditi delle suddette popolazioni, in particolare di donne e giovani, attraverso la valorizzazione dei sistemi agroalimentari e della filiera pelli e cuoio. Nonostante occupino gran parte della popolazione, i sistemi agrosilvopastorali sono scarsamente produttivi per la crescita demografica ed il cambiamento climatico che si traducono nella degenerazione dei suoli, la scarsa disponibilità di mezzi tecnici, la minima valorizzazione delle conoscenze tradizionali, la ridotta diffusione di competenze tecniche, il limitato accesso ai mercati e le disuguaglianze di genere. Gli obiettivi dell’iniziativa saranno raggiunti grazie a due strategie distinte: l’agroecologia (approccio integrato che ottimizza le interazioni tra piante, animali, uomo e ambiente, per assicurare un sistema agroalimentare produttivo, sostenibile, equo e resiliente ai cambiamenti climatici, valorizzando gli aspetti sociali e le conoscenze tradizionali) e lo sviluppo del sistema di mercato (che intende valorizzare la filiera pelli, attraverso un miglioramento della qualità delle tecniche e dei prodotti per un miglioramento non solo economico ma soprattutto sociale e ambientale). I beneficiari dell’iniziativa saranno gli operatori, soprattutto donne e giovani, della filiera agroalimentare e della filiera pelli delle due regioni. Tale intervento è in continuità con le iniziative AICS, si allinea alle politiche nazionali ed è coerente con la programmazione congiunta europea. Inoltre, si inserisce in un momento di particolare vulnerabilità economica e sociale che ha colpito il Paese in seguito al colpo di stato del 26 luglio 2023 ed alle conseguenti sanzioni commerciali e finanziarie.

Protection of refugees and the host population in the Maradi region – II Fase Intervento di protezione a favore dei rifugiati e della popolazione ospitante nella regione di Maradi – Fase II The intervention aims at strengthening beneficiaries' protection space through border monitoring and the absorption and inclusion capacity of the refugee resettlement villages. The new project proposal aims at giving continuity to the actions already undertaken by the project funded by the Italian Cooperation in 2019 (implemented from February 2020), proposing activities both in the three "opportunity villages" built/rehabilitated thanks to the previous initiative, and in the host villages on the Niger/Nigeria border to respond to protection needs. The initiative targets refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons (IDPs), Nigerians returned from Nigeria due to terrorist attacks along the border between the Maradi region (Niger) and the Sokoto, Katsina and Zamfara regions (Nigeria), and the host populations. Activities will focus on: Capacity building of government and local actors in the area of child protection and vulnerable persons and/or survivors of VBG; Enhancement of economic empowerment opportunities of beneficiaries through the implementation of projects (small businesses, agriculture, fishing, handicraft production, etc.) aiming at creating long-term livelihoods; Strengthening of a community-based response policy through the creation of beneficiary groups dedicated to monitoring child protection and combating VBG-based violence L'Intervento si pone l'obiettivo di rafforzare lo spazio di protezione dei beneficiari attraverso il monitoraggio delle frontiere ed il potenziamento della capacità di assorbimento e di inclusione dei villaggi di reinsediamento dei rifugiati. La nuova iniziativa di progetto mira a dare continuità alle azioni già intraprese dal progetto finanziato dalla Cooperazione Italiana nel 2019 (implementato da febbraio 2020), proponendo attività sia nei tre “villaggi di opportunità” costruiti/riabilitati grazie alla precedente iniziativa, sia nei villaggi di accoglienza sul confine Niger/Nigeria per rispondere alle esigenze di protezione. L’iniziativa si rivolge ai rifugiati, ai richiedenti asilo, agli sfollati interni, ai nigerini ritornati dalla Nigeria a causa di attacchi terroristici lungo il confine tra la regione di Maradi (Niger) e le regioni di Sokoto, Katsina e Zamfara (Nigeria), e alle popolazioni ospitanti. Le attività si concentreranno su: - Sviluppo delle capacità degli attori governativi e locali nell’ambito della protezione dell'infanzia e delle persone vulnerabili e/o sopravvissute al GVB; Rafforzamento delle opportunità di reddito dei beneficiari attraverso la realizzazione di progetti e/o attività (piccole imprese, agricoltura, pesca, produzione artigianale, ecc.) che mirano a creare mezzi di sussistenza a lungo termine; Rafforzamento della risposta basata su un approccio community based attraverso la creazione di gruppi di beneficiari dedicati al monitoraggio della protezione dell'infanzia e alla lotta contro la violenza basata sui GBV.

Re.Mi.: Networks for safe migration: civil society, rights, services, work Re.Mi.: Reti per la Migrazione Sicura: società civile, diritti, servizi, lavoro The project has the overall objective of reducing the risks of unsafe migration and strengthening the protection of human, social and economic rights for migrants and returning migrants in Niger. In fact, despite the commitment of the government and UN agencies in the fight against human trafficking, in assisting displaced persons fleeing from conflicts and migrants in difficulty in the migration path, the context of Niger is characterized by the presence of many migrants in a highly vulnerable condition and/or at risk of (re)-insertion in the channels of irregular migration. The target of the project can be summarized as follows: -long-standing diaspora communities and working migrants from the Cedeao area -displaced persons and refugees due to jihadist conflicts -migrants in transit towards North African borders -migrants returning, even forced, due to rejections/insecurity conditions in Algeria and Libya The project therefore intends to act on four different levels: (a) Strengthening the synergies and intervention capacity of civil society actors working in the field of migration, diasporas, trade unions and other CSOs - through capacity building on safe migration planning, rights, assistance, guidance and caretaking of migrant persons, with a special focus on women. (b) Facilitating spaces for social dialogue between public and private actors of migration for the revision of norms and the promotion of a welcoming approach to safe, orderly and responsible migration as envisaged in the National Migration Policy documents; (c) Creating 'spaces' and 'services' for migrants at risk or already in a vulnerable condition. (basic medical and psychological assistance, with particular attention to migrant women victims of abuse and violence; orientation to regular mobility, job placement, registry services - and second level services - vocational training and start of incomegenerating activities); d) Implementing awareness and advocacy campaigns, promoting greater awareness of the dangers of insecure migration in the public opinion and migrants. Il progetto Re.Mi., di durata triennale, si pone l’obiettivo generale di ridurre i rischi della migrazione insicura e di rafforzare la tutela dei diritti umani, sociali ed economici per i migranti e i migranti di ritorno in Niger. Negli ultimi 15 anni il paese si è affermato come un territorio allo stesso tempo di partenza (di nigerini), di residenza per comunità diasporiche dell’Africa occidentale, di transito più o meno prolungato di migranti subsahariani diretti in Nord Africa e/o Europa, ma anche di rifugio e di ritorno forzato a causa dei conflitti, dei respingimenti/espulsioni e delle condizioni di insicurezza nei paesi limitrofi (Mali, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Libia). L’articolato quadro della presenza migrante in Niger, target del progetto, può oggi essere ricondotto a quattro insiemi: -comunità della diaspora di lungo corso e migranti lavoratori dell’area Cedeao -sfollati e rifugiati a causa dei conflitti jihadisti -migranti in transito verso le frontiere nord-africane -migranti di ritorno, anche forzato, a causa di respingimenti/condizioni di insicurezza in Algeria e Libia Nonostante l’impegno del governo e delle Agenzie ONU nella lotta al traffico di esseri umani, nell’assistenza a sfollati in fuga dai conflitti (Unhcr, con oltre 500.000 persone prese in carico) e a migranti in difficoltà nel percorso migratorio (Oim, con oltre 40.000 rimpatri volontari assisti effettuati tra il 2016 e il 2020), il contesto nigerino si contraddistingue per la presenza di numerosi migranti in condizione di forte vulnerabilità e/o a rischio (re)-inserimento nei canali della migrazione irregolare. Tra la popolazione migrante risultano particolarmente critiche le condizioni dei migranti in transito inseriti nei canali della migrazione irregolare, dei migranti di ritorno forzato/respinti/ da Algeria e Libia e dei migranti lavoratori/residenti, delle donne migranti (il 52% dei migranti, dati UNDESA), dei migranti colpiti dalla pandemia Covid 19 o da calamità naturali come l’alluvione dell’agosto 2020, che ha pesantemente messo in crisi le comunità di agricoltori urbani nella città di Niamey. Il progetto intende quindi contribuire ad eradicare le cause delle migrazioni irregolari e insicure agendo su diversi livelli: a) Rafforzando le sinergie e la capacità di intervento degli attori della società civile che operano nel campo della migrazione – diaspore, sindacati e altre OSC - attraverso capacity building in materia di pianificazione della migrazione sicura, diritti, assistenza, orientamento e presa in carico delle persone migranti, con particolare attenzione alle donne. L’intervento intende creare una piattaforma multistakeholder per la promozione congiunta di interventi; b) Facilitando spazi di dialogo sociale tra gli attori pubblici e privati della migrazione per la revisione delle norme e la promozione di un approccio accogliente alla migrazione sicura, ordinata e responsabile come previsto dai documenti della Politica nazionale migratoria; c) Creando ‘spazi’ e ‘servizi’ per i migranti a rischio o già in condizione di vulnerabilità. L’intervento intente creare una rete di servizi gestiti in collaborazione con sindacato, diaspore e altre OSC – partner o stakeholders - coinvolte nel progetto. Il progetto offrirà servizi di primo livello – assistenza medica e psicologica di base, con particolare attenzione alle donne migranti vittime di abusi e violenza; orientamento alla mobilità regolare, all’inserimento lavorativo, ai servizi di anagrafe – e servizi di secondo livello – formazione professionalizzante ed avvio di attività generatrici di reddito - con il fine di ridurre la condizione di vulnerabilità e propensione alla migrazione insicura e promuovere processi sostenibili di re-inserimento socio-economico; d) Implementando campagne di sensibilizzazione e advocacy, favorendo una maggiore consapevolezza sui pericoli della migrazione insicura nell’opinione pubblica e i migranti.

omen and people with disabilities in action for an eco sustainable agro-pastoral system Donne e persone con disabilità in azione per un sistema agropastorale ecosostenibile The project aims to strengthen food and nutrition security of Zinder region in Niger: in line with the Sustainable Development Goals no. 2 and no. 6 (Targets 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 and 6.1), it will promote inclusive access to food and water in the departments of Magaria, Kantché and Mirriah, together with the promotion of resilient and sustainable agricultural and food production systems in the area. The project aims to target the most vulnerable population groups, such as people with disabilities and women focusing on the reproductive, maternal, new-born and child health. The action has been formulated thanks to the long-standing presence of the international partners CBM Italia, CISP and ACRA in the territory of Zinder, and has enriched by the partnership of local organizations with 20 years’ experience in the sectors of food security, agriculture, water and the inclusion of people with disabilities, such as KARKARA, DEMI-E and the Niger Federation of People with Disabilities - FNPH (the umbrella federation of 25 associations of people with disabilities in Niger). The project wass designed to be fully in response to the needs enumerated in the Local Development Plans (Plan de Développement Communal) issued by the municipal authorities of the rural municipalities of Hamdara, Kwaya and Ichrinawa, and it is in line with the thematic priorities set in the Plan de Développement Economique et Social 2017-2021 (PDES) issued by the Government of Niger. According to UNDP, Niger occupies the last position of the Human Development Index 2020, and it is characterized by the lowest socio-economic indicators in the world, with 90.5% of the population living in a situation of Multidimensional Poverty. The needs assessment research and project feasibility studies conducted directly in the field, in the period July 2020 - March 2021, highlighted the following main gaps and needs in the 3 target municipalities. (a) Local agricultural production is not sufficient to cover even half of household food needs and a large part of the population is persistently exposed to recurrent risks of malnutrition. (b) Access to safe water sources, both for human consumption and for use in agricultural and pastoral production systems, is currently not guaranteed to a large part of the population. (c)Tthere is a vicious circle between disability and poverty: people with disabilities (5.3% - among the highest percentages in the country) further suffer from discrimination and social exclusion (particularly aggravated by gender discriminations, in cases of women with disabilities). In the 3 years of implementation of the project, it is intended to strengthen the resilience of local communities, focusing on people with disabilities, on women’s empowerment and on the most vulnerable groups of the population. The synergic work with the Municipal Technical Services and with the technical structures of the State and territorial authorities will constitute an appropriate strategic dynamic to guarantee the sustainability, community ownership and local endorsement of the initiative. The project intend to work on 3 strategic pillars: 1. the enhancement of the local agricultural sector, through the establishment of family gardens for increased food production, equipped with efficient irrigation systems and the initiation of up-to-date seed certification practices; 2 the support of income generating activities that focus on food conservation and processing; 3 improvement of techniques and practices of smallholder farmers in the area. L’obiettivo del progetto consiste nel rafforzamento della sicurezza alimentare e nutrizionale della regione di Zinder, in Niger: in linea con gli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile nr. 2 e 6 (Target nr. 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 e nr. 6.1) intende promuovere l’accesso inclusivo a cibo, acqua potabile e sistemi di produzione agroalimentare resilienti e sostenibili nei dipartimenti di Magaria, Kantché e Mirriah e si rivolge in modo particolare alle categorie più vulnerabili della popolazione, quali persone con disabilità e donne concentrandosi sulla salute riproduttiva, materna, neonatale e infantile. Il progetto nasce grazie alla pluriennale presenza dei partner internazionali CBM Italia, CISP e ACRA nel territorio di Zinder e si arricchisce della partnership di organizzazioni locali con esperienza ventennale nei settori della sicurezza alimentare, dell’agricoltura, dell’acqua potabile e dell’inclusione delle persone con disabilità, quali KARKARA, DEMI-E e la Federazione Nigerina delle Persone con Disabilità – FNPH (ente che raccoglie 25 associazioni di persone con disabilità in Niger). L’impianto progettuale è disegnato in maniera da essere pienamente rispondente ai bisogni evidenziati nei Piani di Sviluppo Locale (Plan de Développement Communal) emanati dalle autorità municipali dei comuni rurali di Hamdara, Kwaya e Ichrinawa, ed è in linea con le priorità del “Plan de Développement Economique et Social 2017-2021 (PDES)” del Governo del Niger. Il Niger occupa l’ultimo posto al mondo nell’indice di Sviluppo Umano stilato da UNDP nel 2020, ed ha gli indicatori socio-economici più bassi al mondo, con il 90,5% della popolazione che vive una condizione di Povertà Multidimensionale. Le analisi dei bisogni e gli studi di fattibilità di progetto, condotti direttamente sul campo da luglio 2020 a marzo 2021, hanno evidenziato i seguenti gap e bisogni principali nei 3 comuni target: a) la produzione agricola locale non è sufficiente a coprire neanche la metà del fabbisogno alimentare delle famiglie e gran parte della popolazione è persistentemente esposta a ricorrenti rischi di malnutrizione; b) l’accesso a fonti di acqua sicura, sia per il consumo umano che per l’impiego nei sistemi di produzione agricoli e pastorali, non è attualmente garantito a gran parte della popolazione; c) esiste un circolo vizioso tra disabilità e povertà: le persone con disabilità (5,3% - tra le percentuali più alte del Paese) soffrono ulteriormente di discriminazione ed esclusione sociale (particolarmente grave nei casi di donne con disabilità). Nei 3 anni di implementazione si intende rafforzare la resilienza delle comunità locali, focalizzandosi sulle persone con disabilità, sull’empowerment femminile e sui gruppi più vulnerabili della popolazione. Il lavoro sinergico con i Servizi Tecnici comunali e con le strutture tecniche dello Stato e degli enti territoriali costituirà una dinamica strategica appropriata per garantire la sostenibilità e l’ownership comunitaria dell’iniziativa. L’iniziativa è rivolta ad un totale di 7.780 beneficiari e si fonda su tre pilastri strategici: il potenziamento del settore agricolo locale, attraverso la realizzazione di orti familiari per l’incremento di produzione di cibo, dotati di sistemi efficienti di irrigazione e l’avviamento di pratiche aggiornate di certificazione delle sementi; il supporto di attività generatrici di reddito che vertono sulla conservazione e lavorazione del cibo; il miglioramento di tecniche e pratiche delle piccole produttrici agricole del territorio.

Promotion of the peaceful coexistence, protection and socio-economic inclusion for the Christian resident and migrant population in Niger Promozione della convivenza pacifica, protezione e inclusione socio-economica per la popolazione cristiana residente e migrante in Niger This project is proposed as a leader by Medici per i Diritti Umani (MEDU) in partnership with Caritas Développement Niger (CADEV), Apurimac ETS, Nexus Emilia Romagna and the Nigerian association Alternative Espaces Citoyens (AEC). The general objective of the initiative is to support Christian communities through the response to basic needs, the protection of rights, the promotion of socio-economic inclusion, the promotion of reconciliation and interreligious dialogue in Niger. The specific objective of the project is to strengthen the social and health protection and the socio-economic inclusion of the resident and migrant Christian population to promote peaceful coexistence in the Niamey region. The planned duration is 24 months. Among the various needs identified by the United Nations Plan 2023-2027 for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda in Niger and the Health and Social Development Plan 2022-2026 (PDSS) of Niger is to integrate health services with activities in support of socio-economic integration. This need is even more evident for minorities living in vulnerable and precarious conditions. In a country where 294,161 migrants were registered in 2019, of whom 218,261 were refugees mainly from countries with a relatively high Christian population (Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast) the need to improve access to basic health services and to social and economic inclusion between the migrant community and the local population is even more important. The project expects to achieve the following results: 1) Improve the access of the recipient population to basic health services and income generation activities in Niamey through the provision of a mobile clinic for primary medical care, prevention and health guidance and provision of medicines and health materials; training of health professionals; development of income generation activities; and training for the collection and analysis of health data. 2) Enhancing opportunities for social inclusion and peaceful coexistence between migrant communities and the local population through human rights training groups; awareness-raising events and the promulgation of issues relating to peaceful coexistence, social inclusion and the sharing of community resources; and cultural initiatives aimed at promoting issues of peace, democracy, security and interreligious dialogue. 44,524 direct beneficiaries are estimated, including: 1) 16,000 beneficiaries of the mobile clinic service; 2) 25,000 beneficiaries sensitised on issues of reproductive health, GBV and health rights; 3) 154 health care workers participating in reproductive health and DHIS2 training; 4) 400 women beneficiaries of IGA; 5) 770 beneficiaries trained to carry out informal and community educational activities, who have access to human rights education and who participate in cultural initiatives for civil coexistence; 5) 3045 beneficiaries informed via video, press / newsletter on the culture of peace and dialogue; 6) 800 beneficiaries of information desks. The involvement of local partners such as CADEV and AEC in the design and implementation of activities, together with the contribution of organizations such as Nexus and Apurimac with solid experiences of social inclusion in the field of international cooperation and the involvement of the Regional Directorate of Public Health of Niamey (DRSP), ensures institutional sustainability, technical, economic and social aspects of the project. Il presente progetto è proposto in qualità di capofila da Medici per i Diritti Umani (MEDU) il partenariato con Caritas Développement Niger (CADEV), Apurimac ETS, Nexus Emilia Romagna e l'associazione nigerina Alternative Espaces Citoyens (AEC). L’iniziativa ha l’obiettivo generale di sostenere le comunità cristiane, attraverso la risposta ai bisogni di base, la protezione dei diritti, la promozione dell’inclusione socio-economica, la promozione della riconciliazione e del dialogo interreligioso in Niger. L’obiettivo specifico del progetto mira a rafforzare la protezione socio-sanitaria e l’inclusione socio-economica della popolazione cristiana residente e migrante nonché a favorire la convivenza pacifica nella regione di Niamey. La durata prevista è di 24 mesi. Tra le varie necessità identificate dal Piano delle Nazioni Unite 2023-2027 per il raggiungimento dell’Agenda 2030 in Niger e dal Piano di Sviluppo Sanitario e Sociale 2022-2026 (PDSS) del Niger c’è quella di integrare i servizi di salute con attività a supporto dell’integrazione socio-economica. Questa necessità è ancora più evidente per quelle minoranze che vivono in condizioni di vulnerabilità e precarietà. In un paese in cui nel 2019 sono stati registrati 294.161 migranti di cui 218.261 rifugiati provenienti principalmente da paesi con una popolazione di professione cristiana relativamente alta (Nigeria, Burkina Faso e Costa d’Avorio), la necessità di migliorare l’accesso ai servizi sanitari di base e di inclusione sociale ed economica tra comunità migrante e popolazione locale è ancora più rilevante. Il progetto prevede di raggiungere i seguenti risultati: 1) Migliorare dell'accesso della popolazione beneficiaria ai servizi sanitari di base e alle attività di generazione del reddito a Niamey tramite la messa a disposizione di una clinica mobile per prima assistenza medica, prevenzione e orientamento sanitario e fornitura di medicinali e materiali sanitari; la formazione di operatori sanitari; lo sviluppo di attività di generazione del reddito; e la formazione per la raccolta e analisi dei dati sanitari. 2) Potenziare le opportunità di inclusione sociale e la convivenza pacifica tra comunità di migranti e popolazione locale tramite gruppi di formazione sui diritti umani; eventi di sensibilizzazione e promulgazione di tematiche relative alla convivenza pacifica, all'inclusione sociale e alla condivisione delle risorse comunitarie; e iniziative culturali volte a promuovere temi di pace, democrazia, sicurezza e dialogo interreligioso. Si stimano 44.524 beneficiari diretti, tra cui: 1) 16.000 beneficiari del servizio della clinica mobile; 2) 25.000 beneficiari sensibilizzati sui temi della salute riproduttiva, GBV e diritti alla salute; 3) 154 operatori sanitari che partecipano alla formazione sulla salute riproduttiva e su DHIS2; 4) 400 donne beneficiarie di AGR; 5) 770 beneficiari formati per la realizzazione di attività educative informali e comunitarie, che hanno accesso ad un’educazione sui diritti umani e che partecipano a iniziative culturali per la civile convivenza; 5) 3045 beneficiari raggiunti da informazioni a mezzo video, stampa / newsletter su cultura della pace e dialogo; 6 ) 800 beneficiari di desk informativi. Il coinvolgimento di partner locali come CADEV e AEC nella concezione ed implementazione delle attività, insieme al contributo di organizzazioni come Nexus e Apurimac con solide esperienze di inclusione sociale nel campo della cooperazione internazionale e il coinvolgimento della Direzione Regionale della Salute Pubblica di Niamey (DRSP), garantisce la sostenibilità istituzionale, tecnica, economica e sociale del progetto.
