In West Africa, Burkina Faso is one of the countries selected for the implementation of the Green Innovation Centres Project (ProCIV), which operates in the Hauts-Bassins, Cascades, Boucle du Mouhoun and South-West regions, mainly in the sesame and rice value chains (CVA).
The project is integrated into the approaches of the Alliance for Product Quality in Africa (hereinafter: ALLIANCE) as well as the GIZ global sector project “Supporting sustainability aspects in the implementation of EU Economic Partnership Agreements” (hereinafter: NEW). Both the ALLIANCE as well as NEW focus on strengthening agrifood businesses in various African countries by supporting efforts in reaching quality requirements in international trade.
Background: The decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on measures for the development of agricultural cooperatives in the fruit and vegetable industry, dated 14.04.2019, helped to establish the first agricultural cooperatives in Uzbekistan. Since then, only a few cooperatives have been established. In 2020, 94 cooperatives were officially operational. In 2021, only 40 cooperatives were left. The main reason is that local specialists, especially staff of the government organizations, have limited knowledge, information, and experience on the role and meaning of cooperatives.
Background: Since 1992, GIZ is supporting the economic development and employment in Uzbekistan. This project focuses on organic agriculture as one potential driver for improved business development.
Agriculture accounts for about 32 per cent of GDP and 27 per cent of employment in Uzbekistan, thus playing an important role for the national economy. Organic production is already ongoing in the country and over 5’932 ha are certified for organic products. However, 5,000 ha are certified for wild collection, making organic farming in the classical sense still marginal.
Because of the very favorable hydro-climatic conditions, coasts in Mauritania are reputed to be among the richest in fish in the world. Small pelagic species are of great economic importance as they constitute the main marine catches and are an essential resource in alleviating poverty and food insecurity.
