SUMMARY:How to Promote Youth Agripreneurs in Rural Africa — Upcoming Webinar
DESCRIPTION:New online series on rural employment with a particular focus on youth\nAbout the series \nThe series is guided by the question of how projects can promote both employment opportunities as well a spirit of agripreneurship with young Africans in remote areas. Agripreneurs are young entrepreneurs who combine a specific agricultural know-how to launch their own business model along the agriculture and food value chain. \nThe first session focuses on promoting entrepreneurship\, start-ups and self-employment for rural youth! \nWho are the presenters?\nAfter a short introduction to the new webinar series by Frank Bertelmann\, Matthias Schnier and Ahmed Huzayyin will provide the key inputs and lead the discussion. \nMatthias works for GIZ’s Promotion of sustainable agriculture and rural development programme in Tunisia and Ahmed is with the engineering and management consultancy Chemonics Egypt. The firm has vast experience in promoting entrepreneurs thanks to their track record in consulting start-ups and applying MSMEs tools and approaches in sectors like waste management\, water systems\, sustainable energy and sustainable agriculture and food production. \nShifting perceptions: From unemployment youth to agripreneur\nThe World Bank estimates that until 2030 440 million young people will enter Africa’s rural labour market. Until then agriculture will remain to be the single most important source of income and employment for people in rural Africa. \nThe current situation with low income\, bad working conditions and lack of innovative technology in African agriculture contributes to a negative image of agriculture with young Africans. The promotion of agricultural entrepreneurship through start-up and MSME support\, especially with a focus on services and ICT-based opportunities\, helps to improve the attractiveness of the sector for young Africans along agricultural value chains. \nIs this relevant to you?\nThe webinar is designed for project staff\, decision makers and partner organisations. The two inputs will cover experiences in the MENA-region\, but the conclusions will be transferable to other regions. \nWhat will be your takeaway?\nBased on his extensive experience with tracking firms for more than five years of operations\, Ahmed will draw a detailed picture of how entrepreneurship can develop markets. The first practical implementation of these findings by GIZ Tunisia will stress the importance of the inspiration\, orientation and market testing of ideas with young agripreneurs\, way before starting to support the business-creation process.

SUMMARY:Human Rights and Equity in Biodiversity Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Seminar on Nature Conservation in German Development Cooperation on the Isle of Vilm\nThe recognition of rights and diverse value and knowledge systems\, inclusive decisionmaking and fair sharing of costs and benefits are all aspects of equity that are instrumental to achieving conservation goals. These issues have become an important concern in international biodiversity conservation policy and are high on the agenda of key conservation actors. Advancing human rights-based approaches remains a challenge in contexts of ill-aligned legal frameworks and conflicting interests around the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. \nBased on real-life examples the seminar will explore instruments and options for how the challenges can be addressed in practice and develop guidance for development cooperation. \nObjectives\n\nRaise awareness and provide “user-friendly” orientation about the international normative framework including concepts\, legal instruments\, actors and their rights and responsibilities\, as well as current trends and initiatives\nAnalyse and reflect on implications\, challenges and solutions for typical settings of development cooperation projects in the field of biodiversity conservation\nProvide information about instruments for implementation\, and identify options for action using „real life“ examples;\nDevelop recommendations on how to enhance human rights and equity in the area of biodiversity conservation at different levels of intervention in German development cooperation.\n\nA field trip will take place in the middle of the seminar. \nFor whom is the seminar?\nThe seminar is aimed at practitioners at the interface of development cooperation and biodiversity conservation (GIZ\, KfW\, BMZ\, BMUB\, consulting companies\, foundations\, NGOs\, universities\, partner organizations). \nThe number of participants for the 1st seminar is limited to 20\, for the 2nd seminar to 25. \nRegistration\nPlease register online. \nYou’ll also have to send a completed form to martina.finger@bfn.de. Otherwise\, your registration cannot be considered. \nParticipants will be chosen based on a number of criteria\, such as: \nRegional and institutional balance \n\nParticipation in previous seminars\nMotivation and relevance to work context\nAbility to contribute actively\n\nDeadline for online registration and submitting of application form: 31 March 2018\nFor questions\, please\, contact Martina Finger (martina.finger@bfn.de)\nConfirmations will be sent out by 30 April 2018 \nAbout the series of seminars on nature conservation in development cooperation\nThe series has been held at the International Academy for Nature Conservation Isle of Vilm since 1999. It is jointly organised by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)\, KfW Development Bank and the International Academy for Nature Conservation\, Isle of Vilm\, of the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN). \nThe first seminar “Biodiversity conservation for human well-being” presents an overview and update of the most relevant concepts. Based on a combination of practical examples\, tools and trends in biodiversity conservation for human well-being and development\, it provides a good platform for exchanging experiences. The second seminar is devoted to the in-depth consideration of a specific topic identified as of particular interest. Based on feedback from last year’s participants and on-going discussions in international biodiversity policy fora\, the topic “Human rights and equity in biodiversity conservation” was chosen for 2018. \nThe language of both seminars will be English. \nDownload flyer

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.

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 by the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health A4NH
DESCRIPTION:CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health A4NH\nWebinar with the FSNR working group\nThe FSNR working group cordially invite GIZ and SNRD members to a webinar conducted by the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health or A4NH. \nA4NH is led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and helps realize the potential of agricultural development to deliver gender-equitable health and nutritional benefits to the poor. It was created to help ensure that agricultural practices\, interventions\, and policies will maximize health and nutrition benefits while reducing health risks. \nIn its first phase (2012-16)\, A4NH identified which agriculture and food interventions would improve nutrition and health. These studies were crucial to fill the evidence gap A4NH was designed to address. \nThe webinar will describe A4NH-generated evidence on large-scale nutrition-sensitive development programs\, and how knowledge\, evidence\, methods\, and tools can support scaling up and accelerating nutrition and health impacts in EC programs. \nOutline\n\nBrief Overview of A4NH (John McDermott) (10 minutes)\nPresentation: Improving nutrition through agriculture – what have we learned. What’s next? (40 minutes)\n\nWhat have we learned? (Marie Ruel)\n\nPathways from agriculture to nutrition (and critical importance of gender)\nHow do we evaluation nutrition-sensitive interventions?\nPortfolio of nutrition-sensitive agriculture evaluations\nKey findings and summary\n\n\nGender strategies for nutrition outcomes (Agnes Quisumbing)\n\n How to assess empowerment impacts on nutrition: Concepts and metrics (Womens Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) and Project-WEAI)\nReach-Benefit-Empower\nOn-going support to nutrition-sensitive agriculture projects\n\n\nHelping countries create enabling environments and capacity for nutrition (Namukolo Covic)\n\nCapacity support\nEvidence and accountability\nStories of Change\n\n\nWhat’s next (Marie Ruel)\n\nMore emphasis on implementation\nRetain focus on undernutrition but consider obesity and underweight\nAdolescent girls as an important group\nQuestions and Answers (moderated by GIZ team) (40 minutes)\n\n\n\n\n\nBackground information\nA4NH AND LARGE-SCALE NUTRITION OUTCOMES
