OVER 1.8 MILLION IMPROVED SEEDLINGS/CUTTINGS WERE PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED WHILE OVER 7,000 ISTA FARMERS ACHIEVED CERTIFIED STATUS. TUDITUALE:THIS 5-YEAR (NOV 2023-SEP 2028) FUNDED PROJECT WAS LED BY THE CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES (CRS) AND NCBA CLUSA PROVIDED TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES AS SUBAWARDEE WITH APPROVED TOTAL BUDGET OF $10.1 M. THE PROJECT WAS EXPECTED TO SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND AUTHORITIES IN THE DRC (SPECIFICALLY LOCALTED IN THE KASAI CENTRAL REGION) TO ADDRESS FOOD, NUTRITION AND ECONOMIC INSECURITY, AS WELL AS LACK OF RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE-RELATED SHOCKS. WITHIN THIS CONTEXT, NCBA CLUSA LED TECHNICAL WORK RELATED TO THE STRENGTHENING OF PRODUCER ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNANCE AND CAPACITY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL BUSINESSES, THE ACCESS TO MARKET OPPORTUNITIES (FOR FARMERS), THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONDITIONS NEEDED FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION, AS WELL AS THOSE FOR ACCESS TO QUALITY FOOD BY LOCAL COMMUNITIES, SPECIALLY THOSE IN VULNERABLE CONDITIONS. IN 2024 NCBA CLUSA CARRIED OUT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH ACTIVITIES THAT INCLUDED: WORKSHOPS FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS, REPRESENTATIVES OF LOCAL INSPECTION FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT (LOCAL AUTHORITY) AND SMALL-BUSINESS OWNERS, TO EXCHANGE ON OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES DEVELOPMENT. ALSO WORK SESSIONS FOCUSING ON WATER RESSOURCES MANAGEMENT, AND PRACTICAL MEASURES TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY-LEVEL COLLABORATION DYNAMICS. THE PROJECT WAS TERMINATED IN 2025 AS PART OF THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S DECISION TO END FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION INITIATIVES. ADVANCING FOOD SYSTEMS AND NUTRITION:THIS USAID FUNDED PROJECT ($15 M) WAS EXPECTED TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN TIMOR OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD (SEP 2023 TO SEP 2028). HOWEVER, IN JANUARUAY 2025 RECEIVED A STOP WORK ORDER, AND SUBSEQUENTLY IN FEBRUARY A CANCELLATION NOTICE, AS PART OF THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S DECISION TO CANCEL FUNDING FOR SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION INNITIATIVES. THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO STRENGTHEN THE COUNTRY'S FOOD SYSTEMS BY INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY, ACCESS, AFFORDABILITY, DESIRABILITY, AND CONSUMPTION OF HEALTHY DIETS THAT ARE SAFE, DIVERSE, AND MADE UP OF NUTRITIOUS FOODS, PARTICULARLY FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. IT DEVELOPPED WORK IN FOUR TARGET LOCATIONS (EMERA, AILEU, AINARO AND DILI) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOCAL COOPERATIVE "COOPERATIVA CAFE TIMOR" (CCT) AND HAMUTUK ITA AJUDA MALU (HIAM) HEALTH. THE WORK CARRIED OUT IN 2024 HELPED TO REGISTER 1,040 FARMERS KEEN ON LEARNING AND GROWING NUTRITIOUS FOODS FOR HOME CONSUMPTION AS WELL AS FOR LOCAL TRADITIONAL MARKETS (FARMER DISTRIBUTION: AILEU: 269, AINARO: 284, DILI: 235, ERMERA: 252). IT ALSO ORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH A COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENT FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY'S NUTRITION AND GOOD HEALTH -THE EVENT COUNTED WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 150 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. A FARMER-TRADE FORUM WAS ORGANIZED IN AILEU TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES IN MARKETING VEGETABLES, AND EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION FOR FARM PRODUCTS TO REACH LOCAL MARKETS. SEVERAL ASSESSMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT, INCLUDING ON ENVRONMENT, NUTRITION BARRIERS, AND WATER RESOURCES. USDA CLIMATE-SMART COMMODITIES:THIS 4.5-YEAR PROJECT ( APRIL 2023 - SEP 2027) IS FUNDED BY USDA/NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE (NRCS)'S PERTNERSHIP FOR CLIMATE-SMART COMMODITIES ($15.6 M).IT WAS TEMPORALY PAUSED IN 2025 AS PART OF THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S TERMINATION OF SEVERAL US FUNDED PROJECTS, AND RE-ACTIVATED IN 2026/FIRST QUARTER. IT'S MAIN GOAL IS TO BUILD MARKETS FOR CLIMATE-SMART COMMODITIES AND INVEST IN AMERICA'S CLIMATE-SMART PRODUCERS TO STRENGTHEN U.S. RURAL AND AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES. TO ACHIEVE THIS, THE PROJECT DEVELOPS WORK AROUND SUPPORTING, THROUGH TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANE, UNDERSERVED PUERTO RICAN FARMERS IN ADOPTING CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY PRACTICES (CSFA) MEETING NRCS' PRACTICE STANDARDS FOR THE PRODUCTION IN 10,000 ACRES OF LAND OF CLIMATE-SMART COMMODITIES -NAMELY: RUST/CLIMATE CHANGE RESISTANT VARIETALS OF ARABICA COFFEE, SHADE, HARDWOOD, AND CITRUS. THE PROJECT PROVIDES VOLUNTARY INCENTIVES TO PRODUCERS AND LANDOWNERS, INCLUDING EARLY ADOPTERS, TO IMPLEMENT CIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION PRACTICES. IT ALSO WORKS IN MEASURING/QUANTIFYING CARBON AND GREENHOUSE GAS BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE PRACTICES; AND ENGAGES IN DEVELOPPING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESULTING CLIMATE-SMART COMMODITIES. IN TOTAL, THE PROJECT EXPECTS TO INVOLVE AROUND 2,000 PRODUCERS/FARMERS, DISTRIBUTE OVER 2 MILLION TREES, AND ESTABLISH OVER 30 NEW MARKETING CHANNELS. AMONG THE WORK DONE TO DATE, IT IS WORTH TO MENTION THE PARTNERSHIP WITH PROCAFE WHICH INCLUDES THE DISTRIBUTION OF OVER 15,000 TREES. WADATA:THIS 7-YEAR (OCT 2018-SEP 2025) FUNDED PROJECT WAS LED BY SAVE THE CHILDREN (SAVE) AND NCBA CLUSA PROVIDED TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES AS SUBAWARDEE WITH APPROVED TOTAL BUDGET OF $7.1 M.
