SUMMARY:The Effects of COVID-19 on international Trade: Aspects of Global Supply Chains\, Agricultural Trade and Fisheries
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming Webinar \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCOVID-19 poses unprecedented challenges to economies worldwide and our all well-being. \nMost of us stay at home now\, but how do essential goods and services still reach us and those who need them most? We are just beginning to understand what COVID-19 will mean for international trade in general and for developing countries’ trade prospects in particular. \nIn the coming months\, policymakers in the global south\, as well as north\, will need to set the direction not only for the future of our economies but also for the future of our societies. Better make the right decisions now than return to the drawing board later. At this point\, gathering and exchanging information is of crucial importance. \nWith the aim of bringing together GIZ technical expertise and experiences around the globe\, the sector projects “Agricultural Trade\, Agribusiness\, Agricultural Finance” (SP AAA) “Trade and Investment for Sustainable Development” (SP Trade and Investment)\, “Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture” (SP Fish) are inviting you to join a 1-hour webinar. \nWe would like to discuss with you the latest developments in trade\, agricultural trade and fisheries. Furthermore\, we are eager to hear from your experiences so please do not hesitate to use the chat during the webinar to let us know how COVID-19 has impacted trade in your country. \n\n\n\nAgenda: \n\n\n\n5 min\nWelcoming words and introduction\nHeike Hoeffler and Kristina Mensah (SP AAA)\n\n\n10 min\nImpact on global trade\nTobias Leeg\, Sascha Berndt (SP Trade and Investment)\n\n\n10 min\nPresentation of the current literature on the impacts of COVID-19 on agricultural trade\nAdriana Garcia Vargas (Consultant SP AAA)\n\n\n5min\nImpact on fisheries\nSophia Kochalski (SP Fish)\n\n\n25min\nDiscussion\n\n\n\n5 min\nWrap-up\nSara Mohns (SP Trade and Investment)\n\n\n15 min \nOptional extension of discussion for those interested

SUMMARY:Comment diffuser et mettre à l’échelle les bonnes pratiques de gestion de restauration du sol ?
DESCRIPTION:Prochain webinaire sur RPF « peer-counseling » — Un cas du Cameroun\nLa perte du sols fertiles est le résultat des facteurs anthropiques et climatiques\, entre autres les mauvaises pratiques de gestion des terres. La dégradation fragilise les écosystèmes mais menace aussi les rendements agricoles\, particulièrement en Afrique. Donc\, l’adoption et la diffusion de techniques améliorées sont la base d’un développement durable\, y compris la restauration des terres dégradées. Au Cameroun\, dans les localités de Laf et Mogazang dans la région de l’Extrême Nord\, la GIZ a testé avec succès le reboisement sociocommunautaire et les techniques de revitalisation des sols improductifs. \nDans le cadre du Groupe de Travail CCLNRM du SNRD\, nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à la première session d’échange virtuel sur la Restauration des Paysages Forestiers (RPF) de cette année. Nous voulons vous présenter le cas pratique du Cameroun. Dans le format technique de « peer-counseling »\, on discute entre collègues comment cette approche RPF du Cameroun peut être élargie dans le paysage. \nDans ce contexte\, nous nous réjouissons de recevoir pleins de contributions aux questions suivantes pendant la discussion : Quelles autres approches avez-vous déjà mis en pratique ? Et quels sont les facteurs qui déterminent l’adoption d’une approche ? Les collègues du Cameroun comptent sur vos contributions et expériences. \nL’échange virtuel se tiendra le mercredi 25 février 2020 à 11 heures GMT sur Skype for Business (langue française). En préparation d’échange\, nous vous prions de regarder un clip vidéo du cas pratique RPF Cameroun. \nFor privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded. For more details\, please see our Privacy.I AcceptContact\nPour plus d’information\, veuillez contacter Christian Burren (Christian.burren@giz.de) ou Anna Rother (anna.rother@giz.de). \nPhoto\nSite de production de plants à Mogazang\, © Josephine Makueti/GIZ

SUMMARY:How to Integrate Living Incomes in Agricultural Value Chain Promotion?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar #12 of the ValueLinks Plus series on agricultural value chain promotion\nWe will have a closer look at the essentials of the living income concept. How is it calculated and how are living income reference prices set up? Where are we at in terms of its application right now? How should it be applied in the context of the ValueLinks approach and what will be its likely relevance in future? \nGuests\n\nEberhard Krain\, GIZ Sectoral Department (Competence Centre 4D30)\nTim Loos\, GIZ Sector Programme Sustainability and Standards in Global Agriculture Value Chains\n\nModeration\nAlfons Eiligmann\, International ValueLinks Association \nHost\nCarolin Voigt\, GIZ Sector Project Agricultural Trade\, Agribusiness\, Agricultural Finance (SP AAA) \nIs this relevant to you?\nYou promote agricultural value chains development and want to learn more about the approach of living incomes?\nYou have no idea (yet) whether living incomes are a valuable aspirational goal to strive for\, or far from achievable\, or still not high enough to make a real change towards better living conditions???\nYou want to get an idea how the approach is used within project implementation for agribased value chain promotion\, e.g. in Ghana or Malawi? \nIf the answer to one of these questions is ‘yes’\, our webinar #12 will be worth your while! We will focus on the essentials of the concept\, explain how a living income is calculated\, how a reference price is determined and how it has already benefited countries to negotiate for higher commodity prices and encouraged our own governments to think of due diligence regulations. \nOur guest Eberhard Krain will explain the concept of living incomes\, the calculation of living incomes and reference prices and tell us about his country experiences from Malawi and Madagascar. \nThe second guest\, Till Loos\, provides insights to the cocoa value chain in Ghana and Ivory Coast. He’ll tell us more about the outcomes of recent conferences in Europe. We will also briefly introduce the community of practice on living incomes. \nYour takeaway\nWebinar #12 provides an open platform for exchange amongst colleagues and experts working in the field of agricultural value chain promotion within and outside of GIZ. You can share your own experiences\, your knowledge and contribute good practice examples as well as learn from others.

SUMMARY:Digital Applications in Small-Scale Irrigation
DESCRIPTION:Half-Day Workshop With Online Access\n\n\n\nDigital applications for improving efficiency and for monitoring agricultural water use play an increasing role in the debate on small-scale irrigation in international cooperation. On the one hand\, technical processes for minimizing irrigation water and reducing the use of fertilizers as well as for energy savings in irrigation technology can be supported. On the other hand\, apps can often facilitate management processes and the monitoring of irrigation and operating systems. However\, up to now\, digital applications that specifically target small-scale irrigation have only been used sporadically and pilot-like in GIZ projects. \nAs part of a market analysis — which is supported by the Competence Centers for Agriculture and for Water\, SV Sustainable Agriculture\, SV Sustainable Waterpolicy\, Green Innovation Centres for the Agriculture and Food Sector and the Project Promotion of the productive agriculture\, Niger — the team investigating the potential of digital applications for small-scale irrigation. The aim is to identify and structure existing experiences and\, based on current developments and challenges\, to define further requirements for digital applications in this area. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor that reason Ralph Elsaesser was selected as a consultant to conduct a study. As a graduate engineer in electrical engineering and a graduate hydrogeologist he has been working for almost 25 years at the interface between water and IT\, for the past 10 years also in the synergy space of agriculture and computer science. \nThe study is to gather experiences from different directions. An exchange with as many discussion partners from different areas is therefore necessary. Experiences and requirements from development projects\, especially from Africa and Asia\, are interesting\, as well as knowledge from competence centers and universities or details about available technical products. The focus is on increasing efficiency of irrigation practices and sustainable use of the resource. \nRalph Elsaesser is searching more interview partners for short ~30 minute interviews via Skype or another channel. If you are available and if you have an interest in sharing your experiences please write to ralph.elsaesser@geo-solutions.de or Skype user name: relsaesser \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is this event for? \nMembers of the GIZ working group on water and agriculture\, experts from GIZ agriculture and water sector projects\, freelance consultants\, companies working at the interface water and agriculture\, experts from the GIZ sector networks Mediterranean Environmental Network\, Sector Network Rural Development and Services on Water and Sanitation. \nAgenda \nDownload pdf \nAdditional information \nIDA Community Water and Agriculture & Agriculture and Water explores interlinkages between those two important sectors.

SUMMARY:What Works in Rural Youth Employment Promotion?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar focusing on good practices and lessons from GIZ programmes with regard to rural youth employment\nSince Africa’s (rural) youth is rapidly growing in numbers\, advising on job creation has become a major objective of development cooperation. \nFor German development employment cooperation the promotion in rural areas with a focus on youth is still a relatively new topic. While the issue is becoming more pressing\, very few projects explicitly and comprehensively address the issue. \nNevertheless\, many projects of both rural and economic development\, are addressing different aspects and a range of learning experiences is already available. The Sector Project commissioned a study to outline the different approaches to rural youth employment promotion (RYEP) within GIZ programmes and distill their main success factors and lessons learned. \nThe consultants Claudia Knobloch and Christian Pirzer of Endeva are going to present the main findings and highlight two of the 11 case studies in an interactive interview. There will be plenty of time to discuss with representatives of the featured case studies\, but also amongst each other about the results and their implications.

SUMMARY:Future  Market  Africa !
DESCRIPTION:Business Round Table at AGRITECHNICA \nMany African economies are investing heavily in their agri-food industries. We will present success stories of market development in sub-Saharan Africa from a German perspective\, successful business models of African entrepreneurs\, information on promotion and financing options as well as targeted matchmaking that are intended to highlight new business opportunities. \nThe mechanization of agriculture – that is using machinery for ploughing\, threshing\, harvesting and other related tasks – is increasingly important for Africa’s rural transformation. Rapid urbanization is pressurizing Africa’s agriculture systems to produce more with less labor\, as more and more people move to cities or engage in non-agricultural rural activities. In response\, farmers in many parts of the continent are showing increased demand for mechanization. There is increasing demand for suitable agricultural machinery for tillage\, sowing and harvesting as well as storage technology. Business models such as contractors\, rental services and contract farming systems are evolving. \nWho is the event for?\nThe Business Round Table is aimed at business delegations from various countries as well as German companies: \n\nManufacturers of agricultural equipment (AGRITECHNICA exhibitors)\nExporters of used machinery\nImporters and dealers from selected African countries\nEnd customers (agricultural enterprises and cooperatives etc.) from selected African countries\nPolicymakers\nFinancial service providers\n\nYour takeaway\nWe bring different types of actors together\, exchange best practices\, present new consulting tools as well as funding and financing opportunities for German and African companies. \nAgenda\n\nWelcome and introduction\nInput: Success story of a German technology manufacturer – market entry into sub-Saharan Africa\nInput: Successful business models of African companies\nModerated panel discussion with audience participation\nRefreshment and communication break (drinks/snacks)\nInput: How can mechanization be implemented sustainably and profitably in Africa?

SUMMARY:M&E of Employment Effects in Rural Development Projects
DESCRIPTION:Training workshop in Abidjan\n\n\n\n\nWe introduce the RWI methodology to enable projects to link current intermediate outcomes to employment effects. In the workshop you’ll learn how to apply this new methodology in your projects\, specifically how to better measure and report your employment impact and effects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget group/ participants \nOpen to all GIZ staff\, specifically monitoring and evaluation experts \nLanguage \nThe workshop will be conducted in English \nBackground \nIn Africa alone\, 440 million young people will enter the labour market by 2030. Therefore\, the creation of employment opportunities is a major objective in development cooperation. In parallel\, it is becoming increasingly important to measure the impact and effects of our projects on employment. Together with the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research (RWI)\, we created a pragmatic methodology to link current (project) outcomes to employment effects. \nYou want to participate? \nRegistration is open until 20.08.2019\, kindly email to finja.hartwig@giz.de from the SV. \nPlease inform the SNRD conference organisation team (irenepridu@gmail.com) in case your arrival day changes because of your participation in the workshop. \nNB: Seats are limited.

SUMMARY:How to Convince Stakeholders to Invest in a Landscape  — The Economics of Forest Landscape Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Webinar with case studies from Ethiopia and Madagascar\, conducted by the FLR group which forms part of the CCLNRM Working Group\nWhat are costs and benefits of the various FLR options in the landscape? How can one convince stakeholders of the positive return of their investment in FLR measures? How can you calculate the ROI for the different FLR interventions in a particular landscape and improve project implementation from an economic point of view? \nDid you ever ask yourself similar kinds of questions because you are interested in the economic aspects of FLR? — Then our next webinar is for you! You’re welcome to join us and learn about the possibilities and constraints of a new methodology developed for measuring the economics of FLR. With the watershed of Lake Chamo in Ethiopia and mangroves in the Boeny region in Madagascar\, the methodology has been tested in two very different ecosystems and regions\, revealing interesting insights about the economics of Forest Landscape Restoration. \nYour takeaways\n\nInformation on the methodology of FLR economics\nInsights in the opportunities and constraints that economic assessments offer to FLR\nOpportunity to discuss possible implications for other regions and FLR projects\n\nPresenters\n\nLincoln Davis\, Senior Economist at UNIQUE forestry and land use\nDuncan Gromko\, Senior Economist at UNIQUE forestry and land use\n\nThis session will be conducted via Skype for Business in English.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Transformation of Rural Africa — Key Recommendations of the EU Task Force Rural Africa
DESCRIPTION:Expert talk\n\n\n\nTo strengthen the EU’s partnership with Africa\, President Jean-Claude Juncker announced in his 2018 State of the Union speech a new ‘Africa-Europe Alliance for Sustainable Investment and Jobs’. To operationalize the suggested actions of this alliance a group of African and European experts – the Task Force Rural Africa (TFRA) – was tasked to propose concrete solutions for a positive rural transformation and an inclusive and sustainable agriculture and agri-food sector. \nIn March 2019\, the Task Force published its landmark report\, an agri-food and rural agenda for the new ‘Africa-Europe Alliance’\, which proposes four strategic areas of action: job creation\, climate action\, sustainable transformation of African agriculture and development of the African food industry and markets. \nThis event will discuss the key recommendations of the report with the German TFRA members Prof. Christine Wieck and Albert Engel and reflect on the opportunities for German development cooperation in the implementation of the proposed actions. \nYou’ll learn about the key recommendations and proposed actions and have the opportunity to ask questions and receive first-hand answers from the authors of the report. \n\n\nWe encourage you to join our discussion in order to understand what this new Africa-Europe Agenda for Rural Transformation holds for the future and what it (could) mean for your daily work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \nModeration \n\nMarc Nolting\, Team Leader Fundamentals for a Rural Future and Nutrition\, G530\n\nWelcome & introductory remarks \n\nTobias Gerster\, Director Division Africa Supraregional and Horn of Africa\, GIZ\n\nTFRA expert presentations \n\nInsights on the proposed Africa-Europe Agenda for inclusive rural transformation Albert Engel\, member of the Task Force Rural Africa\, Director Corporate Unit Evaluation\nInsights on Agricultural Trade & Finance\nChristine Wieck\, member of the Task Force Rural Africa\, Head of Department Agricultural and Food Policy at the Hohenheim University\n\nFishbowl discussion: Relevance of the report – why it is important for our work? \n\nInge Baumgarten\, Director GIZ Liaison Office to the African Union\, OE 1700 (tbc)\nUli Sabel-Koschella\, Team Leader Value Chains Agriculture\, OE 1720\nChristel Weller-Molongua\, Director Division Rural Development\, Agriculture\, G500\n\nWrap-up and closing \n\nChristel Weller-Molongua\, Head of Division Rural Development and Agriculture\, G500\n\nLight lunch \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information \n“Global Partners on Equal Footing — Calling for an Africa-Europe agenda for rural transformation”\nFind video interviews (forthcoming)\, the Task Force Report\, Fact Sheet and more in this detailed article.

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. Kamel DJEMOUAI\, du Fonds Vert pour le Climat (FVC)\nM.
