+## Cotton Questions
+
+**When is the best time to plant cotton in northern Benin?**  
+Plant cotton in northern Benin from late May to early June, when the rainy season has established. This timing ensures adequate moisture for germination while giving the crop enough time to mature before the dry season returns.
+
+**How can I control bollworms without using expensive pesticides?**  
+Control bollworms naturally by planting trap crops like okra or pigeon peas around your cotton field, encouraging natural predators like ladybugs and wasps, practicing crop rotation, and removing and destroying infested bolls promptly. Apply neem oil spray weekly during flowering and boll formation.
+
+**What spacing should I use between cotton plants for the highest yield?**  
+For highest yields, space cotton plants 30-40 cm apart within rows, with 80-100 cm between rows. This spacing allows enough room for plant development while maximizing land use. Adjust slightly based on your soil fertility—use wider spacing in less fertile soils.
+
+**How can I tell if my cotton plants need more fertilizer?**  
+Your cotton plants need more fertilizer if leaves are pale yellow (especially older leaves), plants are stunted, flowering and boll formation are reduced, or leaves show purple coloration. Compare your plants with healthy neighboring fields and apply additional fertilizer before flowering stage for best results.
+
+**What are the signs of cotton disease I should watch for this season?**  
+Watch for wilting despite adequate water, yellow or brown spots on leaves, unusual leaf curling, dark lesions on stems, premature boll opening, or sticky leaves from insect honeydew. Inspect plants weekly, especially during humid periods when diseases spread quickly.
+
+## Cassava Questions
+
+**How do I prevent cassava mosaic disease?**  
+Prevent cassava mosaic disease by planting disease-free stem cuttings from trusted sources, removing and burning infected plants, controlling whitefly populations with yellow sticky traps, maintaining field hygiene, and planting resistant varieties like TME 419 or TMS 30572 available in Benin.
+
+**What cassava variety resists drought best in Benin?**  
+The cassava varieties TMS 30572 and TME 419 show excellent drought resistance in Benin. Local variety "Gbeze" also performs well during dry periods. These varieties develop deeper root systems and can maintain reasonable yields even with reduced rainfall patterns.
+
+**How many months until I can harvest my cassava?**  
+Most cassava varieties in Benin can be harvested 9-12 months after planting. Early-maturing varieties may be ready in 7-8 months, while some traditional varieties perform best when left for 15-18 months. Leaves can be harvested for consumption after 3-4 months without harming root development.
+
+**Why are my cassava leaves turning yellow?**  
+Cassava leaves turn yellow due to nutrient deficiencies (especially nitrogen or zinc), cassava mosaic virus infection, mite infestations, or extended drought. Check for patterns—if all plants show symptoms, it's likely environmental; if scattered, it's probably disease or pests.
+
+**What's the best way to store cassava after harvest?**  
+Fresh cassava roots store best when kept in cool, shaded areas after covering with damp soil or sand. For longer storage, process by peeling, cutting, drying in the sun, and storing in dry, clean sacks. Alternatively, make gari or flour within 48 hours of harvest.
+
+## Yams Questions
+
+**How deep should I plant yam seeds?**  
+Plant yam setts (seed yams) 10-15 cm deep in well-prepared mounds or ridges. Cover with loose soil to allow for easy sprouting, and ensure the correct orientation with the cut section facing downward and the "head" facing upward for better germination and development.
+
+**What's causing the spots on my yam leaves?**  
+Spots on yam leaves are typically caused by yam anthracnose disease (fungal), yam mosaic virus, or insect damage. Anthracnose appears as brown or black lesions with yellow halos, while viral infections create mosaic patterns. Apply fungicides for anthracnose and control aphids for viral diseases.
+
+**When is the right time to stake my yams?**  
+Stake your yams when vines reach 30-40 cm in length, usually 4-6 weeks after sprouting. Don't wait until vines start crawling on the ground, as this makes them harder to train and increases disease risk. Use sturdy stakes 2-3 meters tall inserted 30 cm deep into the soil.
+
+**How often should I weed my yam field?**  
+Weed your yam field every 2-3 weeks during the first three months after planting, when competition is most critical. After vines establish good ground cover, reduce to monthly weeding. Use shallow hoeing around mounds to avoid damaging yam tubers near the surface.
+
+**Why are my yams smaller than last season?**  
+Your yams may be smaller due to poor soil fertility, insufficient mound size, planting low-quality seed yams, inadequate rainfall, pest or disease pressure, or early harvesting. Soil nutrients deplete over time, so rotate crops and add organic matter or fertilizer each season.
+
+## Corn/Maize Questions
+
+**Which maize variety grows fastest in southern Benin?**  
+In southern Benin, TZPB-SR and DMR-ESR-Y varieties mature quickly (85-95 days) and adapt well to the region's climate. The EVDT-97 variety also performs well with good drought tolerance and can be harvested in approximately 90 days after planting.
+
+**How can I protect my corn from fall armyworm?**  
+Protect corn from fall armyworm by scouting fields twice weekly, crushing egg masses by hand, applying ash or sand in plant whorls, using neem-based sprays, releasing natural predators, planting repellent border crops like beans, and practicing early planting to avoid peak infestation periods.
+
+**What's the best crop to rotate with my corn?**  
+Rotate corn with legumes like groundnuts, cowpeas, or soybeans to fix nitrogen in the soil. Sweet potato or cassava are also good options that use different soil nutrients and break pest cycles. Avoid rotating with sorghum or millet as they share similar pests and diseases.
+
+**How can I tell when my corn is ready to harvest?**  
+Corn is ready to harvest when husks turn brown and dry, silks darken and dry completely, and kernels become hard and glossy. Press your fingernail into a kernel—if no liquid emerges and it leaves only a slight dent, it's ready. For green maize, harvest when kernels are fully formed but still milky.
+
+**Why are my corn stalks falling over?**  
+Corn stalks fall over (lodge) due to weak root systems from poor soil structure, stalk rot diseases, excessive nitrogen fertilizer, high planting density, severe drought followed by heavy rain, or damage from stem borers. Improve drainage, adjust fertilizer application, and select varieties with stronger stalks.

+## LuxDev systematically incorporates environmental and climate considerations into its initiatives.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Climate change directly and indirectly affects development goals, influencing agricultural yields, biodiversity, soil health, and water quality. It also impacts public health, worsens air pollution, and deepens social inequalities.
+
+The Luxembourg Cooperation has established an "Environment and Climate Change" Strategy with guidance ‘*in terms of environmental protection and the fight against climate change, in order to proactively contribute to the collective effort undertaken at international, European and national levels, and to guarantee the effectiveness and sustainability of the projects and programmes it implements*’.
+
+In this framework, LuxDev systematically integrates environmental and climate concerns into its interventions, directly supporting Sustainable Development Goal 13, taking urgent action to combat climate change and its effects on vulnerable populations and their environments.
+
+## A cross-sector approach to environmental and climate issues
+
+While LuxDev develops dedicated climate and environment initiatives, its primary focus is embedding environmental and climate considerations across all projects and programmes. This cross-sector approach is systematically applied in areas such as natural resource management (agriculture, fisheries, and forestry), water and sanitation, healthcare, vocational training and employment, rural and local development, and any intervention aimed at vulnerable populations.
+
+### Concrete actions for sustainable development
+
+LuxDev implements:
+
+- activities for the adaptation of educational and vocational training programmes focused on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, (eco-)tourism, and green job promotion;
+- projects supporting forest governance, reforestation, and sustainable agricultural practices;
+- initiatives for sustainable water management and sanitation;
+- waste management and treatment programmes;
+- actions to promote renewable energy solutions and measure energy efficiency in infrastructure projects.
+
+The Agency also leads dedicated interventions in:
+
+- energy transition, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and providing underserved communities with affordable, reliable energy;
+- climate governance, strengthening institutional capacity to develop and implement inclusive climate policies;
+- climate finance, funding adaptation measures and developing financial products to enhance climate resilience.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+### The key role of climate finance
+
+Climate finance is crucial for mobilising resources for climate action and fostering a green economy. Green finance initiatives drive sustainable growth, support environmentally friendly practices, and ensure inclusivity. LuxDev actively integrates green finance into its projects, supports the development of tailored financial products, and supports partner countries in accessing climate finance.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+### LuxDev’s Green Climate Fund accreditation
+
+As an accredited entity of the Green Climate Fund, LuxDev is strategically positioned to secure additional climate financing beyond traditional development cooperation funds. The Agency also collaborates with the Climate and Energy Fund of the Luxembourg Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, further strengthening its capacity to support impactful climate initiatives.
+
+Through these efforts, LuxDev is committed to mobilising new financial resources for effective and inclusive climate action – contributing to a transition to a sustainable green economy and ensuring that no one is left behind.

+## LuxDev integrates gender equality across all its initiatives to foster inclusive and sustainable development.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Gender equality is essential for building a fair and prosperous society. Empowering women and girls is key to eradicating poverty and achieving sustainable, equitable development. Actions aimed at reducing gender disparities directly contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including **SDG 5** (gender equality), **SDG 1** (no poverty), **SDG 2 **(zero hunger), **SDG 3** (good health and well-being), **SDG 4** (quality education), **SDG 8** (decent work and economic growth), and **SDG 13** (climate action).
+
+Aligned with the Luxembourg Cooperation’s "Gender Strategy", LuxDev prioritises gender equality to maximise the impact of its programmes and address structural inequalities. Committed to inclusive and sustainable development, the Agency collaborates with diverse partners to promote gender mainstreaming and empower women and girls across all its interventions.
+
+## Gender equality: a core principle in all initiatives
+
+We systematically integrates gender considerations into all projects and programmes we implement, ensuring alignment with national priorities and strategies in its partner countries.
+
+For every intervention, we conduct gender analyses to identify the specific needs and challenges faced by men, women, girls, and boys. This approach helps remove barriers to equality and expands opportunities for all, reinforcing the principle of “leaving no one behind”.
+
+### Improving women’s and girls’ access to healthcare
+
+In the health sector, particularly in sexual and reproductive rights, LuxDev supports initiatives to enhance access to quality healthcare services for women and girls. These efforts address structural and cultural barriers that limit their autonomy. Training programmes for healthcare providers are also implemented to ensure respectful, inclusive, and equitable care.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+### Strengthening women’s employability
+
+In education and vocational training, LuxDev promotes inclusive programmes that facilitate women’s entry into the job market. These initiatives help reduce occupational segregation and increase employment opportunities for women and girls.
+
+Beyond gender equality, our initiatives align with a broader human rights-based approach. Ensuring that the voices of the most vulnerable are heard and included in decision-making processes is central to the success of our initiatives.
+
+Additionally, LuxDev actively promotes impact finance as a key driver of women’s economic empowerment. Initiatives such as improving access to finance, providing financial literacy education, and supporting female entrepreneurship help reduce economic inequalities. These actions equip women with the skills and resources needed to manage and grow their businesses, thus contributing to more resilient and equitable societies.

+## LuxDev places human rights at the heart of its initiatives, promoting inclusion, equality, and justice.
+
+© Artisan PROD
+
+## Introduction
+
+Human rights are fundamental to development cooperation. They uphold dignity, equality, and respect for all individuals. By advancing human rights, we combat discrimination, poverty, and inequality while fostering peace and justice. These efforts directly contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including **SDG 1** (no poverty), **SDG 5** (gender equality), **SDG 10** (reduced inequalities), and **SDG 16** (peace, justice, and strong institutions).
+
+Aligned with the 2030 Agenda and the Luxembourg Cooperation Strategy "The Road to 2030", LuxDev integrates human rights principles – participation, equality, accountability, transparency, and non-discrimination – at every stage of project planning. This approach helps build inclusive, just, and sustainable societies that respect the needs and aspirations of all communities.
+
+## Promoting inclusion, transparency and accountability
+
+LuxDev implements concrete actions to embed a human rights-based approach into its programmes. These initiatives focus on promoting inclusion, transparency, and accountability while reinforcing practices that respect fundamental rights.
+
+We ensure that vulnerable and marginalised groups are included, actively engaging local communities in decision-making processes to reflect their needs and priorities. We empower rights holders (individuals and communities) by equipping them with the tools to claim and exercise their rights. Simultaneously, we collaborate with duty bearers (authorities and key actors) to strengthen their capacities. Every initiative is guided by the principles of non-discrimination and equal opportunity.
+
+Through our support, we promote access to vocational training for rural populations and ethnic minorities, enhancing their economic inclusion. We also improve access to healthcare for vulnerable groups and ensure better access to justice for women and minorities, contributing to more equitable governance.
+
+## "Business and Human Rights" National Pact
+
+In September 2023, LuxDev signed the National Pact on "Business and Human Rights", an initiative backed by the Luxembourg Government and aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles. By joining this pact, LuxDev commits to respecting, protecting, and promoting human rights across all interactions with partners, contractors, and beneficiaries.

+## Digitalisation is increasingly becoming a key driver of sustainable development, playing a central role in LuxDev’s initiatives.
+
+© Phoonsab Thevongsa
+
+## Introduction
+
+Digital technologies are radically transforming our world, offering vast opportunities to enhance well-being, drive progress, and protect our planet. Digital for Development (D4D) initiatives help reduce inequalities and promote inclusive, sustainable growth by expanding access to knowledge and stimulating technological innovation. These efforts are accelerating progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
+
+From improving access to quality education and making renewable energy more affordable to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting climate adaptation solutions, enhancing healthcare through telemedicine, fostering the inclusion of women and girls in the economy, digitalisation unlocks a wide range of possibilities. LuxDev integrates digital solutions into its projects to drive economic and social progress.
+
+
+## Strengthening digital skills, cybersecurity and e-governance
+
+Digitalisation is a key enabler of sustainable development, and LuxDev is committed to leveraging it in two major ways:
+
+- supporting partner countries in building inclusive, resilient digital ecosystems; and
+- enhancing development outcomes through technological innovation.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+By aligning with national priorities and capitalising on Luxembourg’s expertise, LuxDev focuses on digital skills training, cybersecurity, and e-governance as strategic pillars of its D4D efforts.
+
+The goal is to improve access to information and communication technologies (ICT) and reduce poverty, particularly among vulnerable populations. This involves promoting secure and inclusive digital transformation while ensuring that digital services are accessible and tailored to diverse needs. LuxDev’s approach remains flexible to adapt to high-impact digital interventions.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+Priority actions are identified in collaboration with stakeholders, following a needs-based approach. LuxDev also experiments with new tools and scales up proven digital solutions while carefully managing risks, implementing preventive measures, and adhering to digital development principles.

+## LuxDev actively supports private sector engagement in its interventions, recognising its crucial role in driving economic growth and job creation.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Luxembourg Cooperation Strategy, "The Road to 2030", promotes multi-stakeholder partnerships.
+
+The involvement of the private sector in development cooperation is key to ensuring sustainable success. By driving economic growth, creating jobs, and fostering innovation, businesses play a vital role in development. Partnering with the private sector helps mobilise additional resources and enhances the effectiveness of development projects.
+
+By engaging businesses in its initiatives, LuxDev fosters inclusive and sustainable growth that benefits everyone, ensuring a fair distribution of development gains within communities. This commitment to private sector collaboration directly supports several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly **SDG 8 **(decent work and economic growth), **SDG 9** (industry, innovation, and infrastructure) and **SDG 17** (partnerships).
+
+
+## Collaborating with the private sector for greater impact
+
+LuxDev actively supports private sector engagement, recognising its key role in driving economic growth and job creation. By forming partnerships with businesses of all sizes — from large corporations to social enterprises and SMEs — we can leverage their expertise, financial resources, market knowledge, and ability to sustain activities through sustainable business models.
+
+We tap into these unique strengths to maximise the impact of our initiatives and foster innovation that directly addresses development challenges. Moving beyond a traditional client-supplier relationship, LuxDev strives for strategic partnerships where ongoing dialogue shapes meaningful and effective engagement.
+
+
+## A win-win relationship
+
+To achieve this, we strive to create open, transparent, and constructive communication with businesses. This ensures that communities in partner countries benefit from innovative solutions that meet their needs while providing companies with opportunities to explore new markets or align with shareholder expectations — especially for impact-driven businesses.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+In addition, LuxDev works to create a business-friendly environment and encourage private investment. This includes close collaboration with ministries and government agencies in partner countries to develop policies and regulatory frameworks that support private sector engagement.
+
+Furthermore, we support local entrepreneurship ecosystems by helping micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises enhance their competitiveness, strengthen their capacity for innovation, and contribute to local economic development.

+# Commitments
+
+## LuxDev operates with integrity, social and environmental responsibility, and a strong commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
+
+© Artisan PROD
+
+## Integrity at the heart of who we are
+
+At LuxDev, integrity isn’t just a value – it’s the backbone of how we operate every day. It drives us to work transparently, take responsibility, and lead by example in everything we do. It means upholding the law, acting with honesty, reliability, and loyalty, and embodying fairness, uprightness, and incorruptibility.
+
+Integrity is a cornerstone of our governance and is guided by a Code of Conduct that clearly lays out the behaviour we expect from our team and partners.
+
+## Committed to human rights: National Pact
+
+Since 20 September 2023, LuxDev has proudly signed the National Pact on “Business and Human Rights”. This pact helps companies implement human rights due diligence throughout their value chains.
+
+By signing, we are taking real steps to identify risks and prevent any violations of human rights.
+
+## A socially responsible agency
+
+Being socially responsible is a fundamental part of who we are. Beyond our mission in development cooperation and our environmental projects and programmes, we strive to lead by example with sustainable practices within our own organisation.
+
+In Luxembourg, our offices run exclusively on renewable electricity. We offset carbon emissions from air travel by supporting development cooperation projects. We actively work to reduce our environmental footprint both at headquarters and in our regional offices, while promoting eco-friendly travel among our team and partners.
+
+We prioritise fair trade and solidarity-based products, reduce our paper usage, manage waste ecologically (with the acknowledged *SuperDrecksKëscht* label granted for the sustainable use of resources in companies and facilities), and promote healthy eating by offering local, organic fruit to our team.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+## ISO 9001 certified for quality management
+
+To ensure excellence and continuous improvement, LuxDev relies on a solid quality management system. We have been ISO 9001 certified since 2005, and compliant with ISO 9001:2015 since 2018. This reflects our commitment to transparency, efficiency, and performance in development work.
+
+This certification isn’t a goal in itself – it’s a strategic tool that helps us streamline processes, meet the needs of our partners, and strengthen our rigorous and responsible approach to development cooperation.
+
+## Evaluation: boosting transparency and performance
+
+Evaluation plays a key role in our development cooperation efforts. It helps us continuously improve our work, track performance, and stay accountable to donors, partners, and beneficiaries.
+
+LuxDev follows the evaluation principles and criteria of the OECD Development Assistance Committee, and aligns with the “The Road to 2030” Strategy from Luxembourg Cooperation's framework.
+
+All our projects and programmes go through midterm and final evaluations. These assessments look at relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability – objectively and systematically.
+
+Evaluations are carried out by independent experts to ensure impartiality. They're also opportunities for learning and exchange among all stakeholders, strengthening local evaluation capacities in our partner countries.
+
+The summaries of the evaluations are published on our website. Full reports are available on request: [email protected].
+
+
+## A learning organisation
+
+At LuxDev, we see ourselves as a learning organisation. Knowledge management is part of our DNA and a driving force for sustainable development in the regions where we work.
+
+We believe that turning knowledge into action is key to achieving the best development outcomes. That’s why we’re committed to:
+
+- systematically capturing and leveraging the insights and evidence generated through our projects and programmes.
+- strengthening our team’s ability to learn, innovate, and integrate knowledge into day-to-day operations.
+
+Our knowledge management strategy led to the launch of the Eureka project – a push to build a strong learning culture within the Agency. Eureka encourages critical thinking, challenges the status quo, and promotes innovation. This approach helps us navigate the growing complexity of development cooperation, foster cross-team collaboration and coordination, and stay agile in an ever-changing world.

+# Partnerships
+
+## LuxDev builds strategic, multi-stakeholder partnerships to maximise the impact of its work and accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.
+
+## Partnerships that drive sustainable development
+
+Strong and inclusive partnerships are key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals – whether globally, regionally, nationally, or locally. As part of its Vision 2030, LuxDev brings together and fosters collaborations with a wide range of partners to amplify the impact of its work and promote effective, sustainable development.
+
+## Private sector: a catalyst for impact
+
+The private sector is a powerful driver of innovation and plays a central role in creating positive change and fast-tracking progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. Through strategic partnerships with private companies, we support bold, high-impact projects that directly benefit local communities.
+
+We have set up three funding mechanisms to engage the private sector – offering co-financing opportunities to businesses, whether they are seasoned start-ups or more established companies ready to scale up. These tools help accelerate the reach of innovative business-led solutions to social and environmental challenges in our partner countries. In this way, companies become true collaborators in driving development impact.
+
+More broadly, we take a systems-based approach – especially through market systems development – that encourages businesses and other players to make markets more inclusive for vulnerable populations. This method puts sustainability and scalability at the heart of what we do.
+
+## Academic and research institutions: innovation powerhouses
+
+We also partner with academia, recognising the role that research can play in strengthening development cooperation. Public research tailored to development contexts generates new insights that can feed directly into our bilateral work.
+
+As interest in development cooperation grows within Luxembourg’s research community, we have teamed up with key institutions like the National Research Fund (FNR) and the University of Luxembourg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) to create high-value collaborative initiatives.
+
+## Civil society and NGOs: close-to-the-ground partners
+
+LuxDev works with NGOs in a range of ways depending on their expertise, added value, and local presence.
+
+-
+#### National NGOs
+
+National NGOs in our partner countries are involved in specific activities thanks to their deep understanding of the local context and issues. These partnerships often come with capacity-building support. In these cases, NGOs act as both partners and beneficiaries.
+
+-
+
+#### International or mature national NGOs
+
+International or mature national NGOs work exclusively as development partners. We strengthen their efforts on topics that align with our bilateral programming, to boost efficiency, coherence, and impact.
+
+
+## The Luxembourg ecosystem

+
+## Introduction
+
+Agriculture, forestry, and fishery have always been essential pillars of development. They play a crucial role in ensuring food and nutritional security, creating jobs, and promoting environmental sustainability. These sectors directly contribute to key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including **SDG 2** (zero hunger), **SDG 8** (decent work and economic growth) and **SDG 15** (life on land).
+
+Luxembourg Cooperation places sustainable and inclusive growth at the heart of its strategy.
+
+By supporting these productive sectors, LuxDev helps its partner countries improve livelihoods, promote sustainable natural resource management, and strengthen community resilience against crises, including those driven by climate change. This commitment fosters inclusive and long-lasting socio-economic development.

+
+## Agriculture
+
+Agriculture is vital for food security and creating sustainable income for rural communities.
+
+LuxDev implements initiatives to modernise farming practices, promote sustainable agriculture, and enhance agricultural value chains. We also invest in strengthening agricultural infrastructure and building the capacities of both public and private sector stakeholders.
+
+Our work primarily benefits smallholder farmers, farming cooperatives, agribusiness entrepreneurs, and rural families – placing a special focus on women and young people. Through our initiatives, they gain better access to agricultural technology, innovative solutions, training, finance, and markets.
+
+Our approach is integrated and participatory, working closely with local governments and community organisations. These initiatives involve financial and non-financial private sector actors. We leverage innovative methodologies to tailor agricultural practices to local conditions – maximising productivity while safeguarding the environment.

+
+## Forestry
+
+The forestry sector plays a key role in improving the livelihoods of vulnerable populations, conserving ecosystems, and combating climate change.
+
+LuxDev’s actions in this area include reforestation, forest restoration, sustainable forest management, and the promotion of agroforestry.
+
+These initiatives provide local communities with renewable resources and new economic opportunities.
+
+Our approach integrates traditional knowledge with modern and innovative techniques. To ensure the long-term impact of our interventions, we collaborate with research institutions, NGOs, financial and non-financial private sector actors, local authorities, and community groups.

+
+## Fishery
+
+Fishery is essential for food security and the economic well-being of coastal and rural communities.
+
+LuxDev supports the development of sustainable fishing practices and promotes aquaculture activities to help diversify income sources for disadvantaged rural populations.
+
+These initiatives are primarily aimed at small-scale fishers and rural communities, helping them improve their livelihoods.

+## In Benin, LuxDev supports digital transformation, vocational training, and inclusive finance to drive sustainable development.
+
+## LuxDev in Benin
+
+The partnership between Luxembourg and Benin was formalised in December 2022 with the signing of a general cooperation agreement, followed by the establishment of LuxDev’s country office in February 2023.
+
+Since then, Luxembourg has been supporting Benin’s development, focusing on three key areas aligned with national priorities: vocational training, digitalisation, and inclusive finance.
+
+LuxDev works closely with government ministries, agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders to ensure ownership, efficiency, and long-term impact of its programmes.
+
+## Challenges in Benin: financial inclusion, employment, and digital transformation
+
+Benin, classified as a lower-middle-income country, has made significant progress in various sectors. However, substantial efforts are still needed to reduce poverty levels.
+
+Despite technological advancements, a large portion of the population remains excluded from formal financial services. Access to credit – especially for small and medium-sized enterprises and rural communities – is hindered by limited banking access, stringent collateral requirements, and a lack of tailored financial products.
+
+Youth unemployment remains an urgent concern for public authorities. The gap between graduate skills and labour market needs slows the creation of competitive and sustainable jobs. Additionally, a lack of infrastructure, modern equipment, and strong partnerships with businesses further exacerbates the problem.
+
+Furthermore, Benin faces obstacles in the digital transformation of both the public sector and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as challenges related to cybersecurity. These limitations reduce the country’s appeal as an investment destination, undermine trust in online services, and hinder local businesses’ competitiveness in global markets.
+
+Le chômage des jeunes constitue également une préoccupation importante des pouvoirs publics. Le faible alignement entre les compétences des diplômés et les besoins du marché freine la création d’emplois décents et compétitifs. À cela s’ajoute le manque d’infrastructures, d’équipements modernes et de partenariats solides avec les entreprises.
+
+Par ailleurs, le pays est confronté à des difficultés de transformation numérique du secteur public et des petites et moyennes entreprises, ainsi qu’à des problèmes de cybersécurité. Ces manquements pèsent sur l’attractivité de la destination Bénin, la confiance des citoyens et des entreprises envers les services en ligne, ainsi que la compétitivité des entreprises locales sur le marché international.
+
+## Our activities in Benin
+
+To address these challenges, LuxDev implements targeted programmes aimed at supporting digital transformation, enhancing vocational training, and promoting financial inclusion.
+
+-
+#### Promoting financial inclusion
+
+We collaborate with public and private actors to develop financial infrastructures, enhance financial and digital literacy, and improve regulatory frameworks for financial products, fintech solutions, and electronic payments.
+
+-
+
+#### Strengthening vocational training
+
+We support skills development in tourism, hospitality, and food services. We support collaboration between public and private stakeholders, help bridge financial gaps to provide high-quality training, enhance pedagogical innovation, and align graduate competencies with labour market demands. Additionally, we strengthen vocational training programmes tailored to agricultural development, improving young people’s employability and socio-professional integration.
+
+-
+
+#### Driving digital transformation
+
+Our initiatives focus on strengthening cybersecurity, improving digital skills, and facilitating access to financing for tech startups.

+## In Burkina Faso, LuxDev supports sustainable development, access to quality education, and vocational training programmes.
+
+## LuxDev in Burkina Faso
+
+Since 1996, Luxembourg’s cooperation with Burkina Faso has taken shape through key initiatives, such as the creation of the Ouagadougou Artisanal Village and the active engagement of numerous Luxembourgish NGOs. This collaboration led to the signing of a general cooperation agreement in 1999, marking the beginning of a structured partnership between the two countries. In 2003, LuxDev strengthened its presence by opening a country office in Burkina Faso.
+
+Initially focused on handicrafts, healthcare, literacy, and environmental initiatives, LuxDev’s support has evolved into a more structured approach, aligning with national priorities and emphasising environmental sustainability, education, and vocational training.
+
+In recent years, the Agency has shifted to a project-based approach, directly targeting end beneficiaries, particularly children and young job seekers.
+
+## Challenges in Burkina Faso: education, employment, and climate adaptation
+
+Burkina Faso faces numerous development challenges.
+
+A significant portion of the population lives in poverty, exacerbated by rapid population growth, urban expansion, and increasing pressure on natural ecosystems amid climate change.
+
+Persistent insecurity, particularly in regions affected by terrorism, destabilises the socio-economic fabric, disrupts agriculture, and forces mass displacement of people toward major regional and national centres.
+
+Access to quality education remains limited, especially in rural areas, while youth unemployment and underemployment present significant issues. Insufficient social infrastructure in rural areas and urban peripheries further slows development and strains existing services.
+
+Moreover, sustainable management of natural resources – critical for a country reliant on agriculture – is under threat due to climate change, worsening land degradation and water scarcity.
+
+Addressing these challenges requires strengthening basic social infrastructure, promoting education and vocational training, developing climate-resilient agricultural solutions, and enhancing local governance to improve living conditions and reduce poverty.

+
+#### Strengthening vocational training
+
+A strong focus is placed on expanding technical education and vocational training. The goal is to equip young people with relevant skills that match labour market needs, ensuring long-term employability. Digital tools play a key role in guiding young professionals toward the workforce. Thus, our interventions aim at facilitating access to career information, training, and coaching opportunities in collaboration with employment stakeholders.

+## In Cabo Verde, LuxDev works to improve access to water and sanitation, enhance youth employability, strengthen the healthcare sector, and support the country’s energy transition.
+
+## LuxDev in Cabo Verde
+
+Development cooperation between Luxembourg and Cabo Verde began in the late 1980s, with the first general cooperation agreement signed in 1993. LuxDev has maintained a presence in the country since 2000.
+
+Over the years, Luxembourg has engaged in five multi-year Indicative Cooperation Programmes with Cabo Verde, primarily focused on healthcare, education, vocational training and employment, water and sanitation, energy transition, and integrated local development.
+
+Since 2021, the Indicative Cooperation Programme V "Development – Climate – Energy" has aimed to support the country’s socio-economic and environmental policies while continuing to strengthen these key sectors.
+
+LuxDev’s initiatives align with Cabo Verde’s national development strategies and poverty reduction efforts. The Agency works closely with government ministries and local authorities to ensure effective, impactful, and locally owned programmes.
+
+## Challenges in Cabo Verde: economic diversification and climate resilience
+
+Although Cabo Verde transitioned from a Least Developed Country to a lower-middle-income country in 2008, it still faces significant challenges. The economy heavily relies on tourism, fossil fuels, and international aid, making it highly vulnerable to external shocks and climate change.
+
+Poverty remains a pressing issue. Limited formal job opportunities push many citizens into precarious employment in the informal sector, where wages are low and social protections are minimal. As a result, many young people seek better prospects abroad, contributing to high emigration rates.
+

+**30%**of the populationliving below the poverty line
+
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+Additionally, infrastructure deficits impact key sectors such as water, energy, and transportation. Water scarcity and challenging agricultural conditions threaten food security. The country also faces frequent droughts and limited freshwater resources, making climate resilience a critical concern.
+
+Addressing these challenges requires coordinated efforts to strengthen infrastructure, diversify the economy, develop human capital, and improve food security, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and resilient Cabo Verde.
+
+## Our activities in Cabo Verde
+
+LuxDev’s programmes in Cabo Verde play a key role in **addressing the country’s development challenges**.
+
+-
+#### Expanding access to clean water and sanitation
+
+We support universal access to safe, affordable drinking water and high-quality sanitation services. These efforts are crucial for public health and sustainable development, particularly benefiting the most vulnerable communities.
+
+-
+
+#### Enhancing youth employability
+
+Our vocational training and employment initiatives focus on equipping young people with skills for the tourism sector, a key driver of Cabo Verde’s economy. The programmes also promote innovation and entrepreneurship among young professionals.
+
+-
+
+#### Strengthening the healthcare sector
+
+We work to reinforce the public healthcare system, ensuring that it can better meet the needs of the population and improve overall health outcomes.
+
+-
+
+#### Supporting the energy transition
+
+In collaboration with Cabo Verde’s climate policy goals for 2025, the programmes strengthen climate governance and promote renewable energy solutions. These efforts support the country’s transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system.

+## In Costa Rica, LuxDev focuses on migration, South-South and triangular cooperation, and digital transformation.
+
+## LuxDev in Costa Rica
+
+In July 2023, Costa Rica and Luxembourg signed a bilateral cooperation agreement, followed by the opening of LuxDev’s representation office in September. By December 2024, the framework agreement formalising this new partnership was published in the official gazette. This agreement outlines key areas of Luxembourg Cooperation in Costa Rica, including socio-economic integration of women and youth, climate resilience and environmental sustainability, social cohesion, and human rights. Cross-cutting themes such as impact finance and digital development are also covered.
+
+The two countries operate on a project-based cooperation model. LuxDev’s main institutional partners in Costa Rica are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship and the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policy.
+
+## Challenges in Costa Rica: environment, migration, and economic diversification
+
+Costa Rica is globally recognised for its exceptional biodiversity, conservation efforts, and its historic abolition of the military in 1949.
+
+The country invests heavily in education and healthcare. It continues to advance gender equality and minority rights.
+
+Its diverse economy is driven by tourism, agriculture, and services. Costa Rica has also strengthened its climate change and conservation policies, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050.

+
+
+Despite these achievements, Costa Rica faces significant environmental challenges, including water pollution and waste management issues resulting from extensive agriculture, inadequate wastewater treatment infrastructure, and a lack of integrated land-use policies.
+
+In terms of migration, the country serves as both a destination and transit hub for many migrants, creating social, economic, and institutional pressures.
+
+Economically, Costa Rica is working to diversify its industries and improve infrastructure to sustain long-term growth while addressing persistent social inequalities.
+
+## Our activities in Costa Rica
+
+LuxDev implements innovative projects tailored to Costa Rica’s development challenges.
+
+-
+#### Addressing migration challenges
+
+Our initiatives aim to enhance the efficiency of migrant regularisation processes while supporting the socio-economic integration of migrant populations, primarily from Nicaragua. Alongside the European Union, the Spanish Cooperation Agency, and United Nations agencies, Luxembourg is among the key donors in this sector.
+
+-
+
+#### Promoting South-South and triangular cooperation
+
+Costa Rica is a leader in regional cooperation, knowledge exchange, and capacity-building among Latin American partner countries. We support these efforts, with a particular focus on strengthening ties with Caribbean nations.
+

+
+## Introduction
+
+Education, training, and employment play a crucial role in reducing poverty, promoting equal opportunities, and empowering individuals. Quality education provides essential skills, drives innovation, and fuels economic growth. Vocational training equips young people and adults with the competencies needed to enter the job market, while employment is the key driver of long-term social and economic inclusion.
+
+These efforts contribute directly to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including **SDG 4** (quality education), **SDG 8** (decent work and economic growth) and **SDG 10** (reduced inequalities).

+## LuxDev in El Salvador
+
+Luxembourg’s development cooperation with El Salvador began in 1993, following the Chapultepec Peace Accords, as part of the country’s post-civil war reconstruction efforts. Initially, Luxembourg’s support focused on fighting poverty and strengthening democracy. Between 2003 and 2015, cooperation expanded to include poverty reduction, institutional capacity-building and sustainable development. During this period, LuxDev helped implement initiatives in education, healthcare, and rural development, improving living conditions for vulnerable populations and strengthening local infrastructure.
+
+El Salvador’s economic and social progress has reshaped the partnership, leading to a diversification of cooperation efforts. Since 2016, Luxembourg’s focus has shifted to supporting civil society and fostering South-South and triangular cooperation.

+## Challenges in El Salvador: education, security, and healthcare
+
+As a key economy in Central America, El Salvador faces complex development challenges. Despite notable progress in poverty reduction and economic growth, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted these achievements. Social inequalities persist, with a substantial portion of the population still living in poverty.
+
+The education system struggles with high dropout rates and inconsistent teaching quality, particularly affecting children from low-income families and perpetuating cycles of poverty. While security conditions have improved, they remain a concern for the country’s stability.

+
+## Introduction
+
+Impact finance is becoming increasingly central to development cooperation. It not only facilitates access to financial services for marginalised communities but also channels funding into projects that generate social and environmental benefits alongside financial returns. By doing so, impact finance promotes economic inclusion and poverty reduction.
+
+By aligning investments with the Sustainable Development Goals, this sector fosters inclusive and sustainable growth, while attracting private capital to complement public funding. Impact finance is a key driver in the transition towards a fairer, more environmentally responsible economy, addressing global challenges such as social inequality and climate change.
+
+Luxembourg Cooperation strategies, "The Road to 2030" and "Inclusive and Innovative Finance", support impact finance initiatives to expand access to financial services for vulnerable populations and enable small and medium-sized enterprises to grow.
+
+LuxDev’s work in this sector focuses on creating economic opportunities for all, especially women and young people, strengthening community resilience, and driving innovation.

+
+Luxembourg’s development cooperation with Kosovo began in the early 2000s, shortly after the conflict in the region. Initially focused on humanitarian aid and reconstruction, it gradually shifted towards sustainable development projects. LuxDev established a permanent office in Pristina in 2009. In April 2013, Kosovo and Luxembourg signed their first bilateral agreement and a memorandum of understanding, outlining key areas of collaboration: healthcare, vocational and technical training, and water and sanitation.
+
+After 20 years of close cooperation with sectoral ministries and sustained engagement in social development, a third bilateral agreement and a renewed memorandum of understanding were signed in July 2022. Covering the period 2023–2025, these agreements reflect both countries' commitment to diversifying cooperation, integrating the private sector, and fostering research. LuxDev’s support in Kosovo focuses on implementing key reforms and preparing the country for EU accession..

+Since gaining independence in 2008, Kosovo has made significant economic progress, with a 50% increase in per capita income and a 35% reduction in poverty. However, several challenges remain to ensure sustainable growth.

+The vocational training system does not fully align with labour market needs, requiring reforms to equip young people with practical skills and better connect them with the private sector. Supporting entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized enterprises is also crucial for job creation.
+
+Kosovo’s energy sector relies heavily on fossil fuels, with 90% of electricity production still dependent on them.
+
+Meanwhile, although civil society is active, it faces financial constraints and limited political participation opportunities.
+
+Luxembourg provides both technical and financial assistance in these key areas, working closely with local partners under LuxDev’s guidance.

+## In Laos, LuxDev works in healthcare and nutrition, vocational training, and good governance to support sustainable development.
+
+## LuxDev in Laos
+
+Luxembourg and Laos formalised their development cooperation in 2000 with a general cooperation agreement. Since then, five successive multi-year Indicative Cooperation Programmes have demonstrated Luxembourg’s long-term commitment to Laos’ socio-economic development.
+
+Luxembourg’s bilateral aid aligns with Laos’ national priorities and LuxDev plays a key role in implementing these cooperation programmes. By working closely with local partners, we help reduce poverty, improve living conditions, and support Laos’ transition toward sustainable development.
+
+## Challenges in Laos: healthcare, training, governance, and climate change
+
+Laos faces significant development challenges. Regional inequalities, particularly between urban and rural areas, and limited access to basic social services like healthcare and education remain major concerns. The country’s landlocked geography, dependence on natural resources, and vulnerability to climate change further exacerbate these issues.
+
+In the healthcare sector, maternal and infant mortality rates remain high due to limited healthcare access and a fragile system.
+
+Vocational training is another critical challenge, as equipping the workforce with relevant skills is essential for economic integration.
+
+Good governance and the rule of law are also fundamental pillars for ensuring citizens’ rights and achieving sustainable development.
+
+Additionally, local development plays a crucial role in empowering communities and addressing poverty at its roots.
+
+## Gallery viewer
+
+Climate change is a cross-cutting issue that intensifies all these challenges. Extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, threaten agriculture, infrastructure, and food security, disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable populations and hindering development progress.
+
+## Our activities in Laos
+
+The programmes implemented by LuxDev in Laos provide targeted solutions to these pressing challenges.
+
+-
+#### Enhancing healthcare and nutrition
+
+We support efforts to ensure universal access to high-quality, affordable healthcare, with a special focus on maternal and child health. These initiatives contribute to achieving universal health coverage and improving overall public health.
+
+-
+
+#### Promoting vocational training in key sectors
+
+We focuse on vocational training in hospitality, tourism, agriculture, and forestry – key sectors for employment and economic growth, particularly for vulnerable populations. These industries also offer significant opportunities for green and digital economy development.
+
+-
+
+#### Strengthening good governance and the Rule of Law
+
+Our initiatives aim to build capacity within the judicial system, improve access to justice for all, and promote transparency and good governance. By strengthening legal education and supporting judicial reforms, we help create a more efficient and accountable governance framework. A participatory approach ensures that local communities play an active role in shaping their own development. By building local capacities, we empower stakeholders to better address community needs and improve public services.

+
+## LuxDev in Latin America and the Caribbean
+
+Building on its bilateral experience and national-level achievements, Luxembourg Cooperation has gradually expanded its regional partnerships in Latin America. Today, its initiatives focus on three key priorities: socio-economic integration of women and youth, climate resilience and environmental sustainability, and social cohesion and human rights. These are complemented by two cross-cutting themes: inclusive and innovative finance, and digitalisation for development.
+
+In this framework, LuxDev leads regional projects in environmental sustainability and climate change, impact finance, and women’s entrepreneurship. These efforts are complemented by bilateral projects in Costa Rica and El Salvador, all coordinated from LuxDev’s regional office in Costa Rica and its satellite office in El Salvador.
+
+## Challenges in Latin America: inequality, natural disasters, and migration
+
+LuxDev’s efforts in Latin America and the Caribbean are currently concentrated in the countries of the Central American Integration System (SICA), a region characterised by diverse geography and economies. However, poverty and social inequalities remain significant challenges, affecting large segments of the population. Unemployment, a lack of formal job opportunities, and limited access to financial institutions disproportionately impact women, youth, and minority groups.
+
+The region is also highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, which hinder economic and social development. Governance challenges further limit the effectiveness of public policies and erode citizens’ trust. Additionally, economic dependence on raw material exports exposes local economies to global price fluctuations.
+
+Migration remains a major issue. Instability, violence, and climate change force many people to leave their home countries, leading to significant intra-regional migration flows. While the United States remains the primary destination, Costa Rica is becoming an increasingly attractive option for migrants.

+
+## Our activities in Latin America and the Caribbean
+
+LuxDev’s regional initiatives aim to promote sustainable forest management, empower women entrepreneurs, and create an enabling environment for access to tailored financial products for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) led by women. These efforts directly address regional challenges related to gender inequality and forest conservation, which are critical for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
+
+-
+#### Enhancing sustainable forest management
+
+We support private and community-led initiatives promoting sustainable forestry practices to mitigate and adapt to climate change. We provide financial services and technical assistance to encourage responsible wood use, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem protection.
+
+-
+
+#### Promoting women’s entrepreneurship
+
+We work to strengthen enterprises as well as public and financial institutions. The goal is to eliminate institutional and financial barriers, enabling women entrepreneurs to reach their full potential across the region.
