SUMMARY:Accréditation au Fonds Vert pour le Climat: Expériences réussies et en cours
DESCRIPTION:Webinaire à venir \nPour soutenir les efforts des pays en développement dans la limitation ou la réduction de leurs émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) et dans l’adaptation aux changements climatiques\, le Fonds Vert pour le Climat (FVC) travaille avec des entités accréditées en vue de créer les conditions leur permettant de tirer le plus grand bénéfice des opportunités de financements qui leur sont offertes. L’accréditation est un procédé de diligence pour s’assurer que les parties partagent les mêmes objectifs du FVC et ont les capacités financières et administratives pour la gestion des projets éligibles. \nAu Sénégal\, le Centre de Suivi Ecologique (CSE) a renforcé ses capacités en formulation et en gestion de projets\, tout en améliorant ses procédures de gestion administrative et financière. Ceci lui a valu d’être accrédité comme entité de mise en œuvre par le Fonds pour l’Adaptation depuis 2010 et par le FVC en 2015. \nL’Observatoire du Sahara et du Sahel (OSS) est une organisation intergouvernementale internationale à vocation africaine basé en Tunisie. L’OSS est l’une des premières institutions africaines à être accrédité par le FVC\, ce qui lui permet de fournir à ses membres et partenaires un appui technique et institutionnel en vue du développement de requêtes de projets pour faire face aux impacts des changements climatiques. \nCe webinaire permettra à tous les participants de partager avec les acteurs clés les expériences réussies et les procédés dans l’accréditation mais aussi et surtout les difficultés rencontrées dans ce processus ainsi que les meilleures pratiques notées. \nIntervenants :\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Comparing the Different Use of ICT4Ag to Inform Farmers in Africa and Asia -- Upcoming Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Members of the two SNRDs will share their experiences with ICT4Ag — from Africa to Asia and vice versa! \nSNRD Africa’s ICT4Ag Community of Practice joins up with SNRD Asia to exchange on how African and Asian farmers can easily access information using latest information and communication technology for agriculture. \n\nToday’s fast-evolving ICT represents a tremendous opportunity for rural populations to improve productivity\, to enhance food and nutrition security\, to access markets\, and to find employment in a revitalized sector  (World Bank 2017\, ICT in Agriculture\, Handbook). \nYour Content Goes Here\, Your Content Goes HereSNRD Africa recently released a new study on the use of ICT in agriculture. It covers 52 ICT4Ag solutions which have been developed for 29 GIZ projects\, operating in 34 countries on both continents. \nIn order to contribute to cross-boundary exchange between the two networks\, the upcoming webinar will have a closer look at a particular ICT4Ag solution that has been applied in India — comparing it to similar implementation in Africa. Lessons-learnt will also draw from specific failures on both continents! \nIs this relevant to you? \nThe webinar is designed for project staff of agricultural and rural development projects from both SNRDs who are interested in sharing their ICT4Ag-related experiences with colleagues in other parts of the world. \nWhat will be your takeaway? \nYou will learn how to use ICT4Ag to improve farmers’ climate resilience\, provide them with access to information\, extension services and finance in two very different contexts. \nPhoto by Klaus Wohlmann\nPhoto at the top by GIZ/Angelika Jakob \nWhat will be your takeaway? \nYou will learn how to use ICT4Ag to improve farmers’ climate resilience\, provide them with access to information\, extension services and finance in two very different contexts. \nThe presenters \nThe discussion will be led by Florian Moder\, who has gained considerable insights during the setup of the Network for Information on Climate (Ex) Change (NICE+) in India. Colleagues from SNRD Africa with know-how in providing farmers with extension services and finance will provide much more than a sounding board. \nWhere \nOnline via Skype4Buisness. You only have to click on the “Join the Skype Meeting” bottom below. \nEdited recordings of most of our SNRD webinars are posted online with some time after the event. \nYou already have tons of questions that you would like to ask our speakers? \nPlease feel free to send your questions to julia.bayer@giz.de prior to the webinar.

SUMMARY:Bridging the Digital Gender Gap – ICT4Ag Working Group Webinar
DESCRIPTION:ICTs Can Empower Rural Women in Your Agricultural Project – Learn How!\nWe’re all aware of the tremendous opportunities that ICTs offer to agriculture. In the reality of our agricultural projects\, however\, we witness that technology-driven advances are rather incremental and the benefits are often reaped unequally. Especially in terms of gender\, there’s clearly a huge gap when it comes to access to ICTs and using them in rural areas. \nThis is agonizing. Digitally illiterate female farmers could certainly benefit greatly from agricultural projects providing them with interfaces that are adapted so that they can use them – as long as it’s culturally appropriate. \n\nGlobally\, women use the internet 12% less than men. In Africa\, it’s 25%. While the gender gap has narrowed in most regions since 2013\, it has widened in Africa!\n(International Telecommunication Union) \n\nWhat will be your takeaway?\nFranziska Kreische of the research institute betterplace lab has gained substantial experience while working with development projects in Uganda. In the webinar\, she’ll speak about how rural women can be enabled and encouraged to use ICT components. \nThere’re many lessons to be learned\, applicable to other projects. In particular\, Franziska will present Briding the Digital Gender Gap\, a new survey of betterplace\, and we will also hear about Women Plant Doctors 2.0 – a GIZ project in Tunisia with a tight focus on empowering women. \nIs this relevant to you?\nThis webinar is designed for project staff and decision makers in agricultural projects who want to crank up women’s involvement – who are considering to develop new ICT components or wish to prop up already existing ones. \nYou already have tons of questions that you would like to ask Franziska Kreische?\nKindly send your questions to julia.bayer@giz.de prior to the webinar. We’ll make sure that Franziska covers your points in her presentation\, or we’ll get to them during the Q&A part of the session! \nHow to join\nThe webinar is conducted online via Skype4Buisness. Contact the organisers to receive the logins. \nPlease feel free to forward the invite to others.

SUMMARY:Smart Investments\, Big Returns: How Understanding Financial Data Can Transform Nutrition
DESCRIPTION:Learning from country experiences collecting and using budget data to improve their nutrition programs\nCurrent estimates suggest that current funding is not sufficient to address malnutrition. Part of the difficulty in securing the funding needed to tackle malnutrition is a lack of how much funding has already been allocated to nutrition and how much and where the funding gaps are. \nA number of countries have embarked on nutrition budget analysis exercises\, designed to identify available funding\, highlight existing gaps in funding\, and advocate for smarter investments in nutrition. Nearly 20 countries have completed this work\, often through a framework provided by the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement. SPRING’s interviews with representatives from 11 of these countries illustrated the complexities inherent in sharing these findings and the potential benefits from collecting and sharing data on a topic that is known best for the lack of information available. \nJoin SPRING for a webinar to learn more about the ways in which countries have used findings from nutrition budget analysis activities to identify and coordinate nutrition across sectors\, advocate for increased funding for nutrition\, and manage the use of nutrition funds. In this webinar\, we will hear directly from country practitioners about their experiences\, including their activities\, tools\, briefs\, and graphs used. \nSpeakers\n\nGwyneth Cotes | SPRING\, Director of Global Initiatives\nJovita Sandaite | Action Against Hunger (ACF) of Sierra Leone\, Advocacy Expert\nHugh Bagnall-Oakeley | Save the Children\, Senior Hunger Policy Adviser\n\nMore information\n\nNutrition Budgeting and Financial Analysis — USAID site\nBUDGET ANALYSIS FOR NUTRITION:  A guidance note for countries — by the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement\nTracking nutrition investments\, How much do governments invest in nutrition? – SUN site\n\nRegistration\nRegister online here. \nThe notification was provided by the FSNR working group!

SUMMARY:Webinar on Agricultural Value Chains — What’s in It for You?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar on Agricultural Value Chains — What’s in It for You?\nThis kickoff session will focus on introducing the overall concept of the ValueLinks Manual 2.0. Participants are invited to discuss which specific topics should be covered in the upcoming series of webinars\nThe sector project Agricultural Trade and Value Chains\, the SNRD working group Agribusiness and Inclusive Value Chain Development\, and the FMB cordially invite to their first online seminar. \nIs this relevant to you?\nThe webinar series is specially designed for all colleagues – in particular those from the Sector and Global Programs Department (G500) and SNRD – who get in touch with agricultural value chains as part of their project implementation. \nAbout the entire webinar series\nThe overall concept of the series hinges on an inclusive and proactive topic selection by you. Being demand-oriented means more to us than just saying it. Please have a look at the ValueLinks2.0 Manual to get an overview of which types of subjects we could delve into. \nHere are some ideas: Subject-wise\, we can include the analysis of socioeconomic\, ecological\, and gender-related aspects within value chain development\, business models and nutrition questions. However and most importantly\, we will have a closer look at the application of different tools in project context\, practical experience\, as well as challenges arising and lessons learnt. So we want to get your guidance on topics as well as on what kind of tools you would be interested to hear more of in the coming months. \nHow does this initial seminar work?\nIn this first kick-off session\, we will focus on introducing the overall concept of the ValueLinks Manual 2.0\, as well as on the discussion on which specific topics we will focus during the upcoming webinars. Andreas Springer-Heinze\, Senior Planning Officer at GIZ Eschborn will guide you through the kick-off webinar\, together with Alfons Eiligmann\, and Karina Brenneis. \nWhat’s your takeaway?\nWe want to encourage you to join the kick-off session and actively state your particular interests in certain areas related to agricultural value chains\, to get them covered in more detail during the upcoming webinar series. \nAbout the promotion of agriculture value chains\nInternational and German development cooperation has encouraged the promotion of agricultural values since the beginning of the 2000s. It is viewed as an important strategy to transform agribusiness towards more economic\, ecological and social sustainability. \nThe advancement shall lead to improved competitiveness and income increases for smallholders and workers — in agriculture itself as well as in upstream and downstream sectors. \nSince the food price crisis in 2007/2008\, strategies to promote value chains are more and more applied to support development goals around food and nutrition security\, not only reduce poverty. \nAbout the speakers\nAndreas Springer-Heinze is an agricultural economist by training and a Senior Planning Officer at GIZ Head Office in Eschborn\, Germany. He has extensive experience in the field of sustainable development. \nHe is author of the ValueLinks methodology on value chain development.

SUMMARY:Leveraging ICT to Make Agribusiness Attractive for Unemployed Youths: Some Concrete Ideas for Your Project -- Upcoming Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Leveraging ICT to Make Agribusiness Attractive for Unemployed Youths\nSome Concrete Ideas for Your Project — Upcoming Webinar\nThe ICT4Ag Community of Practice of SNRD Africa cordially invites SNRD colleagues to their next online seminar. We will focus on how agriculture development projects can make proper use of ICTs to create thought-after employment along the agri-value chains in rural areas. \nThe presentation will focus on how you can advance agricultural entrepreneurship of young people\, triggering ICT innovations in order to boost climate-resilient food value chains. \n\n“ICTs can help connect urban consumers with smallholder producers\, including women and young farmers. This way agriculture could become an attractive sector for talented young people who can make an important contribution in transforming African agriculture into a profitable and sustainable business.”\nMichaela Hailu\, Director CTA \nYour Content Goes Here\, Your Content Goes HereICT has great potential to excite young farmers/agripreneurs and entice young innovators to engage in new agricultural enterprises. About 65% of the total population of Africa is below the age of 35 years; over 35% are between the age of 15 and 35 years – making Africa a continent full of youth. Each year\, 10 million young Africans join the labour market\, more than ever before.  These young people are crucial for replacing the older farming generation. They can also bring an important contribution to the agriculture sector\, through innovation and especially digital ICT solutions. \nImplementing digital solutions can do much to improve the image of agriculture contributing to a future-oriented\, sustainable development in rural areas; when broadened to include agribusiness\, marketing and services related to crop and livestock production. ICT offers dynamic career options for young people with agricultural and non-agricultural profiles that Ken will go into. He will base his contributions on various activities — targeting both young farmers and young ICT agripreneurs — that CTA and others have been implementing for several years and including some new plans. He will present and illustrate a model for engaging youth in agriculture using ICTs. He would like to learn from your experiences as well and collectively with you reflect on the way forward for this issue. \nIs this relevant to you?\nThis webinar is designed for project staff and decision-makers in agricultural and rural development projects interested in using ICT4Ag to improve rural youth employment. \nWhat will be your takeaway?\nYou will learn how you can use ICT to encourage young farmers in your project to engage in agricultural value chains. \nAbout the speaker\nFor the last 20 years\, Ken Lohento managed numerous initiatives related to ICT policy and its use for food security and socio-economic development.  He has joined CTA in 2009 as ICT for Agriculture Programme Coordinator\, focusing on ICT and youth in agriculture through various activities. These ICT and youth activities won the UN WSIS Forum Awards in 2015. He is also Focal Point for CTA’s youth activities. \nHow to join\nThe webinar is conducted via Skype4Buisness and is open to SNRD members and GIZ staff only. RSVP julia.bayer@giz.de \nYou already have tons of questions that you would like to ask Ken Lohento?\nPlease send your questions to julia.bayer@giz.de prior to the webinar. We will make sure that Ken covers your points in his presentation\, or we will get to them during the Q&A part of the session! \nWe are looking forward to having great discussions with you! It’s an exciting subject!

SUMMARY:The Power of Mobile for Agricultural Projects -- Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Mobile for Agricultural Projects — WebinarHow You Can Leverage the Power of Mobile for Sustainable and Measurable Impacts in Your Agricultural Project\nIn the next online seminar of the ICT4Ag Community of Practice\, we will discuss with Lukas Borkowski — Madagascar Country Manager at Viamo\, a mobile engagement consultancy — and GIZ’s Paul Cronjaeger how you can use cost-effective mobile solutions for a bigger\, faster and more efficient impact of your project. \n\n“Mobile-to-mobile interaction is only 5% of the cost of traditional outreach — and rural beneficiaries are ten times more likely to engage in two-way conversation over automated voice-based communication (IVR) versus SMS”” \nThe World Bank \n\nThe power of mobile\nToday most Africans have access to mobile phones. Mobile technology quickly delivers to rural smallholder farmers and other clients such as MSMEs with information that is critical for investments\, production and marketing decisions. Governments\, NGOs and the private sector can collect important field-level information for their decision-making and planning. Smartphones and apps are often seen as the best way to reap these benefits\, and there are numerous examples of their successful use in rural development projects. \nHowever\, mobile solutions that make use of simple mobile phones are more sustainable given that smartphones and mobile data are still prohibitively expensive for most Africans. Through the use of apps\, IVR and SMS\, it is possible to engage beneficiaries that have any kind of phone\, and mobile rewards project staff and field managers with rich data and timely insights for their M&E. \nHow to join\nFor technical requirements and to obtain access links\, please contact Julia.Bayer@giz.de of the Sector Project Rural Development\, which facilitates the webinar. Kindly note the webinar is for SNRD members and GIZ staff only! \nThe project offers a training series for marine practitioners\, technical staff and decision makers\, covering these topics: \nIntegration of ecosystem services into coastal and marine planning (Blue IES)Climate change adaptation in coastal and marine areas (Blue CCA)Ecosystem-based marine and coastal spatial planning (Blue Planning in Practice\, BPiP)Is this relevant to you?\nThis webinar is designed for project staff and decision-makers in agricultural and rural development projects interested in innovating agricultural extension and advisory services\, data collection\, and behavior change communication. The webinar does not require prior experience in mobile communications. \nWhat will be your takeaway?\nYou will learn how you can use cost-effective mobile solutions to achieve bigger\, faster and more efficient impact in your project. This discussion will be led by Lukas Borkowski\, Viamo’s Country Manager in Madagascar. \nViamo is a leading social enterprise in global mobile for development\, with more than ten years of mobile engagement experience and offices in more than 25 countries in Africa and Asia. \nLukas\, whose experience includes working with GIZ\, will walk you through applied case studies from across Africa\, including one that will be presented by Paul Cronjaeger\, Technical Advisor with GIZ’s More Income and Employment in Rural Areas Program in Malawi. The two will discuss with you the benefits of having an integrated mobile engagement strategy for your project. \nThe main presenter\nLukas Borkowski\, Country Manager\, Madagascar \nThe co-presenter\nPaul Cronjaeger\, Technical Advisor\, GIZ Malawi        \nYou already have tons of questions that you would like to ask Lukas Borkowski?\nPlease feel free to send your questions to julia.bayer@giz.de prior to the webinar.
