What we do
IDRC funds research in developing countries to create lasting change on a large scale.
To make knowledge a tool for addressing pressing challenges, we
- provide developing-country researchers financial resources, advice, and training to help them find solutions to local problems.
- encourage knowledge sharing with policymakers, researchers, and communities around the world.

This strengthened support targets increasing the resilience of small ruminant livestock herders in the Area C of the southern West Bank (Hebron governorate) by boosting the production and productivity of the sheep and goat populations. Targeted interventions are in the fields of breeding, feeding and animal health service provision. The equipment and material listed in this supplies tender were identified with support from the technical assistance services, with strong involvement of the following central and decentralised directorates of MoA: the General Directorate (GD) of Extension and Rural Development, GD Veterinary Services, GD National Agricultural Research Station (NARC) and their departments: Ruminant, Field Crops, Range Land Management, as well as the breeding stations in Beit Qad and As Samua, the central veterinary laboratory, and the Palestinian Centre for Livestock Improvement (PCLI).

Klimaatportefeuille - luik Senegal
General
Thematische portefeuille met als algemene doelstelling het geïntegreerde beheer van de natuurlijke rijkdommen verbeteren en de natuurlijke ecosystemen van de Sahel duurzaam herstellen in de strijd tegen de verwoestijning en de negatieve gevolgen van de klimaatverandering, en zo de weerbaarheid van de bevolking van de Sahel die in kwetsbare omstandigheden leeft, versterken Le Portefeuille Thématique Climat Sahel (PTCS) est construit autour d’une logique d’intervention partagée par l’ensemble de ses volets nationaux (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger et Sénégal). Tous se partagent le même Objectif Global et les mêmes Objectifs Spécifiques. Au sein des volets pays, la structure de Résultats (en ligne avec les Piliers de la Grande Muraille Verte) est également identique, ceci afin de renforcer la cohérence, l’apprentissage et l’impact de ce portefeuille. Une partie des défis à relever pour permettre de lutte contre la désertification et le changement climatique au Sahel sont également structurels : l’insuffisance de coordination et d’échange de l’information, le manque d’intégration intersectorielle des actions de lutte contre le changement climatique, la faiblesse des structures et des processus de mise en œuvre, la difficulté d’accéder à des financements climat et la faible gouvernance en matière d’aménagement du territoire et de foncier. De plus, le suivi et la mise en œuvre des initiatives et des engagements internationaux tel que la CNCNUCC et CNULCD, l’Initiative de la GMV et de lutte contre l’insécurité (G5 Sahel) représentent également un goulot d’étranglement majeur au niveau national car les normes de suivi et de vérification sont exigeantes pour des institutions gouvernementales parfois faibles en équipement et en personnel qualifié. Afin de répondre aux défis et limiter ces impacts, des réponses appropriées et intégrées couvrant les aspects d’adaptation et d’atténuation mais aussi ceux de gestion responsable et durable des ressources naturelles et de la biodiversité au sens large sont apportées, tout en renforçant la résilience sociale, économique, sécuritaire et environnementale des populations. Cela implique d’agir sur un vaste éventail de domaines de changements, certains de nature technique comme les pratiques agroécologiques, la gestion intégrée des ressources en eau ou la restauration des écosystèmes, d’autres plus orientés sur des facteurs humains, comme par exemple l’implication des communautés locales (notamment les femmes et les groupes vulnérables ou marginalisés), la promotion d’une gouvernance inclusive des ressources naturelles et la dynamisation d’un dialogue entre différents niveaux et natures d’acteurs.

Provision of Integrated Life-saving Protection Response to Drought -Affected Population in Baidoa;Berdale, Bur
Objectives
In response the growing the humanitarian needs in the country due to the devastating drought situation SOS CVS is proposing an integrated CP, GBV and HLP interventions with aim of addressing the acute protection needs of the affected populations in Baidoa, Berdale, Burhakaba and Qansax Dheere in Bay region. SOS CVs will primarily target newly displaced IDPs including children at risk of abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect including UASC vulnerable women and girls with heightened GBV risk including GBV survivors and supporting IDP communities with insecure land tenures. The project will target the following IDP camps ()Balad amar, Bilal, Buulo jay, Buulo Tugeer, Edaan Qaboobe and Hagaray IDP camps in Baidoa, Aray, Holwadag, Masusow and Waberi in Burhakaba and All Xamdu, Badbaado, Bakaro, Barwaqo, Bulsho and Camp Eyle In Bardel and Busle, Buulo Abag and Maanyow IDp camps in Qasaxdhere. The main objective of the proposed integrated protection project is to address holistically the acute protection needs by providing prevention and responsive interventions. The integrated protection response is designed to improve the protection of the target children, girls and women from abuse, violence and exploitation through provision of CP /GBV comprehensive case management support including rapid identification, tracing and family reunification services for those at risk of family separations, GBV survivor centered services, PSS/PFA services. SOS CV will engage with the authority and community in secure land for the IDPs in Baidoa. SOS CV will be strengthening CM systems by strengthening the capacity of the frontline CM staff, facilitate service mapping specially newly established IDP camps and updating of referral pathways. SOS CV will closely be working with GBV and CP state-level coordinators and partners to ensure coherent response to protection needs of the populations. SOS will scale-up the provision of case management services by deploying trained social workers in sites the new IDPs are settling into as the needs are high in those sites, a total 300 children will be targeted for the CM. SOS CV will support the arrangement and placement of 200 UC in interim care. and will provide support during the care arrangement. SOS CV will initiate family tracing and reunification exercise for all UASC using the CPMIS + and CM SOPs. The project will provide PSS support to 4000 children such as sports activities, indoor games and other interactive plays, counselling services and life-skills sessions. Existing CFS will be supported with additional resources including maintenance and small rehabilitations as deemed necessary. IDP sites without no existing CFS will have mobile CFS team who provide PSS activities within the camp. The project will support two existing CFS in Baidoa and will establish two mobile CFS Burhakaba and Berdale. Each CFS will have 2 animators and 1 social worker while CP officer will have the overall supervision of the work. The two static CFS have disaggregated WASH facilities with hand washing standing. 4 recreational kits will be procured for PSS programs The project will support IDPs with land insecurity by verifying land ownership, creating conducive environment for dialogue between land owners and community by facilitating access to land, supporting and facilitate proper agreement between the stakeholders including the development and reviews of the land tenure documents. The interventions will help new IDPs have secured and agreed land tenures. The proposed interventions will be reinforced and strengthen the protection of the drought affected populations and will significantly contribute in reduction of the protection risks increased safety and community wellbeing in the midst of the drought condition. Total 16 IDP sites will be supported with HLP services
