1. Introduction The Flemish ODA Report 2011 provides an overview of the Government of Flanders' expenditures on development assistance in the calendar year 2011. These expenditures comply with the official criteria for development cooperation (Official Development Assistance or ODA), which have been laid down internationally for the 24 members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD. A financial intervention may qualify as ODA if it meets each of the following four conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Official: the expenditure comes strictly from government funds Development: the main objective is economic and social development Assistance: it is aid (i.e., it is not a commercial transaction subject to market conditions) The assistance is going to a country (or group of countries) or an international institution on the DAC list.

Next to financial transfers, technical cooperation and development-oriented loans (with a gift element of minimum 25%) are also considered ODA. Transfers through NGOs are regarded as ODA if these are funded through government bodies. Military aid, in contrast, is no longer considered ODA since the end of the Cold War. Debt cancellations associated with export credits on the other hand are recorded as ODA. From 1979 and 1991, administration costs in donor countries and costs associated with refugees and asylum seekers are registered as ODA. In view of this international reporting practice, Flanders strives to keep this exercise as transparent and honest as possible. For a sub-state donor, it is indeed impossible to charge on any military operations or the repatriation costs of refugees. Moreover, under the Framework Flemish Parliament Act (Art.5, §2), Flanders undertakes to offer strictly untied assistance. For this reason an amount totalling EUR 4,315,100 for mostly trade-related support is deliberately not included in this ODA report; the agency Flanders Investment & Trade spend EUR 1,295,667 on feasibility studies and EUR 3,019,433 on Import support for capital goods. Finally, no concessional loans or debt cancellations were employed as an instrument for development in 2011. In line with the OECD/DAC criteria, total Flemish ODA consists on the one hand of Flemish development cooperation expenditures, i.e. the payments made from the actual budget for development cooperation. On the other hand several other policy domains also fund activities that can be charged as official development assistance according to the OECD/DAC. Flemish ODA expenditures were originally gathered at the request of the federal DirectorateGeneral for Development Cooperation (DGD). This administrative body collects similar data from all Belgian authorities, adds them up and subsequently sends them to the OECD Development Assistance Committee in Paris. The OECD/DAC requests the figures for official development cooperation from all the OECD Member States. The ranking according to the percentage of GNI spent on ODA by the donors in the preceding year is one of the best known analyses carried out by this organisation. With the advent of the Framework Flemish Parliament Act on Development Cooperation of 22 June 2007, the ODA report has become a mandatory tool under the Act for reporting to the Flemish Parliament. Furthermore, the report is allocated a dual role under the Framework Act. On the one hand, it is a report about the measures taken by the Government of Flanders to directly contribute to the internationally accepted objective of spending the equivalent of at least 0.7% of the GNI on ODA (Art. 23, 24). On the other hand, the Flemish ODA report constitutes a policy instrument to test the objective of coherent development policy (Art. 3 §1). In addition, these figures shall be incorporated into the next edition of the Vlaamse Regionale Indicatoren/VRIND (Flemish Regional Indicators), which contains a number of quantitative and qualitative measurements for each policy area of the Flemish administration. Many civil society

organisations, however, show an interest in the figures as well. 11.11.11 (the NGO umbrella organisation) for example, studies the report in preparation of its annual report regarding European, Belgian and Flemish development cooperation.

1.1. International context: the 0.7% attainment target Since 1961, the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) has compiled statistics on all funding flows from OECD countries to developing countries, with special focus given to public funds within the context of development cooperation. The DAC first laid down a definition of the Official Development Assistance (ODA) in 1969. The definition of ODA has been refined over the years into the current directive, a voluminous 75-page document. Official development assistance has traditionally been measured in proportion to the Gross National Income (GNI) of the donor countries. At the UN General Assembly of October 1970, the Member States adopted Resolution 2626, in which industrialised countries undertook to invest 0.7% of their GNI in development cooperation by the year 1975. To date, this target has not been achieved. Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark and the Netherlands have each achieved this target on an individual basis.

ODA as share of GNI

In the 1990s, ODA saw a particularly sharp decline. It began rising again in 2000 under impetus from the Millennium Development Goals (2000), the Monterrey Financing for Development Conference, and various G8 and UN summits. In 2010, net flows from OECD-DAC Member States for development cooperation reached a total of USD 128.7 billion, an increase of 6.5% compared to 2009 and the highest level ever measured (in constant 2009 prices). Member States achieved a combined 0.32% relative to Gross Domestic Product, the highest level recorded since 1992. At the 2005 G8 summit in Gleneagles, world leaders promised to increase their development aid from USD 80 billion in 2004 to USD 130 billion by 2010 (figures in 2004 dollars). The figures reveal a gap of USD 19 billion between what was promised and what was actually delivered (more than USD 1 billion of this gap can be directly attributed to the economic crisis). G8 donors

additionally committed to increasing ODA to Africa by USD 25 billion by 2010, though by then, this flow of aid had only risen by USD 11 billion. Figures on the 2011 ODA of other donors were still not available at the time of writing. An OECD survey into the spending plans of its Member States did show a planned increase of 2% in aid volumes for projects and programmes in developing countries (Country Programmable Aid; CPA) between 2011 and 2013. The OECD-DAC recently approved a Good Pledging Practice, in which the organisation provides recommendations on clear, timely, realistic and attainable financial commitments with respect to development cooperation. This publication seeks to foster a better pledging practice and to promote transparency and accountability on the part of donors.

1.2. European context The European Union was responsible for 54% of ODA worldwide in 2010. This makes the EU the largest donor community in the world. 2010 was an important year for EU Member States: in 2005 they together promised to spend a total of 0.56% of GNI on development cooperation by 2011, which entailed a minimum of 0.51% of GNI for old Member States and 0.17% of GNI for new Member States. As a next step, the EU as a whole must reach the 0.7% benchmark by 2015. In 2010, European ODA rose to 0.46% relative to GNI, whereby the interim attainment target of 0.51% of GNI was not reached. Spending by the following members exceeded this interim attainment target: Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (1.09%), Sweden (0.97%), Denmark (0.9%), the Netherlands (0.81%), Belgium (0.64%), Finland (0.55%) and Ireland (0.53%). France reached 0.50% of GNI, and narrowly missed the target. Other donors that did not manage to meet the attainment target: Germany (0.38%), Greece (0.17%), Italy (0.15%), Austria (0.32%), Portugal (0.29%) and Spain (0.43%). The new EU Member States were unable to reach their interim attainment target of 0.17% of GNI. The following changes applied to each donor in 2010 relative to 2009: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Austria (+8.8%), due mainly to grants for debt forgiveness; Belgium (+19.1%), due to debt forgiveness grants and an increase in bilateral grants; Denmark (+4.3%), as it increased its bilateral grants; Finland (+6.9%), due to an increase in bilateral grants; France (+7.3%), mostly due to an increase in bilateral lending; Germany (+9.9%), as it increased its bilateral lending; Greece (-16.2%), due to unprecedented fiscal constraints; Ireland (-4.9%), due to fiscal constraints; Italy (-1.5%); Luxembourg (-0.3%); Netherlands (+2.2%); Portugal (+31.5%), mainly due to increased bilateral lending; Spain (-5.9%), due to budgetary pressures; Sweden (-7.1%), though Sweden continues to allocate approximately 1 % of its GNI to ODA; United Kingdom (+19.4%), reflecting the continuing scaling up of its aid programme.

1.3. The Busan High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness

On 30 November and 1 December 2011, the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness was held in Busan (South Korea). This followed earlier meetings which resulted in the Rome Declaration (2003), the Paris Declaration (2005) and the Accra Agenda for Action (2008). The monitoring of the Paris Declaration clears out that traditional donors can do better in the field of aid effectiveness, for instance by better coordinating their efforts with the policy priorities of developing countries and by enhancing the predictability of the aid. Today, ODA constitutes a mere 13% of all financial instruments flowing to developing countries. The goal in Busan was to get other key players in the South involved - such as development financing institutions and private funders - and to familiarise them with the principles of aid effectiveness already maintained by the official donors. Within the international effectiveness agenda, transparency is a crucial condition. Authorities in developing countries are in a better position to plan and to direct their efforts when up-to-date information is made available and accessible. The predictability of the aid can be increased through a long-term overview of scheduled funding and through the use of effective information management systems, which allows developing countries to better estimate planned revenues. Increased transparency can also prompt a further harmonisation of the aid. Contributions which are actually planned and implemented by the numerous donors can facilitate to agreements on division of labour between several donors active in developing countries. Increased transparency makes the governments of both donor and developing countries accountable for development aid delivered to their respective citizens. In view of the benefits afforded to aid effectiveness by transparency, donors in Busan made commitments to further increase the availability of information on development activities. And finally, by the end of 2015, a joint, open standard will be instituted for the online publication of timely, comprehensive and future-oriented information concerning funding for development activities. This standard must comply with the information requirements of governments and nonstate actors in developing countries.

2. Methodological background In order to further boost the transparency of the reporting on the Flemish Development Cooperation, the choice was made to publish a number of quantitative indicators in this report. These indicators have been developed by the OECD’s statistical working group on development cooperation. Because many readers may not be familiar with these indicators, a brief explanation of their purpose and their usage is appropriate.

2.1. Country Programmable Aid (CPA) Initiatives which address aid transparency attempt to provide a clear overview of the aid flows that are transferred directly to developing countries, as major portions of ODA are are neither fully transparent to, nor manageable by, recipient countries. These elements are too volatile or unknown locally, sometimes even to local donor offices; some do not entail any cross-border flows. In order to gain better insight into the aid volumes of developing countries, the OECD-DAC introduced the concept of ‘country programmable aid’ (CPA). CPA is the portion of aid (ODA) that each donor (bilateral or multilateral) can programme for each recipient country. CPA can be defined as total gross ODA, excluding the following expenditures: 1. Inherently unpredictable flows (humanitarian aid and debt relief) 2. Flows which are not directly transferred to developing countries (administrative costs, student costs in the donor country, increasing support for development aid, scientific research, spending on refugee services) 3. Flows which are not discussed between donor and receiving country (aid not originating from the donor’s head agency, food aid, development aid from local authorities, core funding for international NGOs) In short, CPA bundles together all development cooperation that the recipient country can review and over which it has a certain degree of say, and for which payments can be accounted in the financial planning of these countries. Both bilateral donors as well as multilateral institutions report to the OECD each year on implemented and planned country programmable aid. The OECD transmits this information to developing countries, which in turn use this data when planning their budgets. In this ODA report, every programme, project or fund that meets the criteria for country programmable aid is indicated by the code ‘CPA’ in the upper right-hand corner. The sum total of country programmable aid is a subset of total ODA minus the un-earmarked contributions made to multilateral institutions (because these actors report their implemented and planned country programmable aid directly to the OECD themselves). In 2011, Flemish ODA totalled EUR 54,037,368. Multilateral aid came to EUR 1,460,253, with total CPA equalling EUR 18,984,105. The proportion of CPA within Flemish ODA is:

18.984.105 (54.037.368 – 1.460.253)

= 36,11%

2.2. Aid typologies Since the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), a greater priority has been placed at the international level on coordinating donor aid with the existing policy aims of recipient countries. Harmonisation of procedures for the delivery of aid is also high on the international community’s agenda. In order to measure donor progress on this front, measuring tools were developed that also contain information on the way in which the projects, programmes and funds are established. This allows us to ascertain whether a donor is primarily making use of project aid that has been delivered separately, or whether the donor is deploying its aid via pre-existing programmes or funds of the recipient government and/or a group of donors. Project aid that is delivered separately is often associated with relatively high costs related to its identification, follow-up and other administrative tasks. In some instances, project aid can hamper structural efforts aimed at poverty reduction, such as when aid goes to support individual mechanisms that end up competing with existing local government institutions. The following typologies are used to measure policy-relevant information on donor proliferation so as to allow a comparison between all donors: Typologieën van de hulp A. Budget support A01 General budget support A02 Sector budget support B. Core contributions and pooled programmes and funds B01 Core support to NGOs, other private bodies, PPPs and research institutes B02 Core contributions to multilateral institutions B03 Contributions to specific-‐purpose programmes and funds managed by international organizations (multilateral, INGO) B04 Basket funds/pooled funding C. Project-‐type interventions C01 Project-‐type interventions D. Experts and other technical assistance D01 Donor country personnel D02 Other technical assistance E. Scholarships and student costs in donor countries E01 Scholarships/training in donor country E02 Imputed student costs F. Debt relief F01 Debt relief G. Administrative costs not includedelsewhere G01 Administrative costs not included elsewhere H. Other in-‐donor expenditures H01 Development awareness H02 Refugees in donor countries Each time a donor reports a contribution to the OECD-DAC, it reports the typology of that aid as well. The result of the typologies is used to help monitor the international agenda on aid effectiveness. In this report, the typologies are applied to both the ODA arising from the development cooperation budget as well as the ODA of other policy areas (see section 3.2.3.)

2.3

Other methodological information

2.3.1. Additional information on sectoral allocation In previous editions of the Flemish ODA report, aid was classified according to its contribution to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Experience has shown that this way of classifying aid does not always provide a good view of the evolution of expenditures on development cooperation, as the attainment targets of aid flows are all too often related to multiple MDGs: the development of a national healthcare system (MDG6) also benefits women’s health (MDG5) and that of children (MDG4), and also ensures access to affordable basic medications in developing countries (MDG8). These overlaps are furthermore encouraged by the inconsistent structure of the MDG, whereby the attainment targets aimed at full and productive employment (MDG1) and dignified work for young people (MDG8) are incorporated into two separate goals. Strictly allocating aid to a single specific MDG is not always possible with these kinds of aid flows. Because classifying aid by MDG is not a reliable indicator of spending within the context of Flemish development policy, the 2011 ODA report approaches reporting from the sectoral target achievement. Sectoral delineation provides a more accurate way to measure this because coding by sector is less subject to varying interpretations. Moreover, allocation by sector allows for an unequivocal comparison to be made across multiple years (see section 3.4.1.). Chapters 4 - 9 offer an overview of all projects and programmes that have received funding within each individual aid category. The general objectives of each grants are clarified in the numerous dossiers, which also reflect the sectoral allocation. 2.3.2. Information on the policy areas Each dossier listed in chapters 4 - 9 includes an indication of the policy area from which the flow of aid has been initiated. The classification of aid by policy area is also referred to in the third chapter of the ODA report. Due to a lack of available space in diagrams, tables and dossiers, abbreviations are often used to refer to the policy area. The following is a list of policy areas maintained by the Government of Flanders. Abbreviation

Projects in the donor country AdministraVve costs

The Flemish ODA amounted to EUR 54,037,368 million in 2011. Of this amount, EUR 29,466,266 - or 55% - goes directly to projects, programmes and funds in developing countries. Approximately EUR 21.4 million - or 73% of the ODA allocated to projects in the South - is spent in the partner countries of the Flemish Development Cooperation and in the high-priority region of Southern Africa. The summary below divides expenditures into a number of categories, based on spending channel. ODA within the context of bilateral cooperation amounts to EUR 9.9 million. This includes modes of cooperation that are based on an agreement between the Government of Flanders and a partner country of the Flemish Development Cooperation. Both government institutions in the partner countries as well as local, international or Flemish organisations are responsible for implementing bilateral cooperation. Multilateral institutions may also be responsible for implementing specific aspects of the bilateral development policy in the partner countries. Multilateral institutions can additionally be deployed for cross-border, regionally-oriented programmes. Expenditures on multilateral institutions that are allocated by topic and/or geographic location fall under the Bi-multi category. Approximately EUR 13.2 million - or roughly one fourth of Flemish ODA - was deployed this way in 2011. Flanders has a structural relationship with a number of international organisations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), UNESCO, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the World Food Programme (WFP). Multilateral cooperation - whereby contributions are fully absorbed into the budget of a multilateral organisation - totals EUR 1.5 million. In the context of 2011 spending, some organisations stand out by way of their contribution of specific added value to humanitarian assistance, such as CERF, the World Food Programme and UNRWA. Unearmarked aid allows these organisations to allocate on the basis of the ever-changing needs on the field. Indirect cooperation deployed in the South in 2011 amounts to EUR 3.2 million. With indirect cooperation, the expertise of an organisation (NGOs, non-profit organisations, private actors) is consigned to the implementation of specific projects. Within the context of projects in the South, we can discern a number of cooperation initiatives that are set up to realise a specific goal. Expenditures on ‘trade and development’ are aimed at improving the living conditions of inhabitants by improving productivity as well as access to the means of production and the market. The Vlaams Partnerschap Water voor Ontwikkeling (Flemish Partnership Water for Development) works to achieve water-related development goals as outlined in MDG 7. The Vlaams Fonds Tropisch Bos (Flemish Fund for Tropical Forests) emphasises the benefits of forestry and forest management in the course of combating climate change, the loss of biodiversity and desertification in developing countries. In the context of international cooperation, Flanders also provides aid for areas affected by natural or man-made disasters. The remaining category of emergency aid represents EUR 1.7 million of ODA expenditures in 2011. To avoid double counting, multilateral contributions to humanitarian organisations are not included in this category. The breakdown of expenditures based on disaster prevention, actual emergency aid and rehabilitation is evidence of the special focus that is given to all phases of the disaster cycle (prior, during and after the delivery of humanitarian aid).

3.1.2. Projects in the donor country (North) A total of EUR 21,845,478 - or 40% of Flemish ODA - accounts for projects in the North. This involves contributions that do not leave the donor country per se, but which can have an indirect impact on development cooperation in the South. This usually concerns modes of cooperation in which the Government of Flanders provides full or partial funding for activities that fall under the scope of an indirect actor’s development policy. Roughly 72% of the funding committed to projects in the North goes to scientific institutions that undertake development-relevant activities. The Instituut voor Tropisch Geneeskunde (Institute for Tropical Medicine) specialises in research, education and services in the field of tropical medicine, as well as the organisation of health care services in developing countries. The Instituut voor Ontwikkelingsbeleid en -beheer (Institute of Development Policy and Management) provides secondary academic education, conducts scientific research and offers social services relating to the economic, political and social aspects of development policy and management. The United Nations University (UNU) conducts research into global problems that fall within the UN’s sphere of interest: peace and government, development, environment, science and technology. Roughly EUR 2.2 million is spent on development education and raising awareness. A positive attitude toward development cooperation forms a critical foundation for peace and solidarity in society. By increasing support for development among the population, the individual Flemish citizen gains a stronger sense of responsibility with respect to global problems and poverty reduction. Cities and municipalities maintain direct access to their citizens and are therefore in a unique position to raise awareness among difficult-to-reach target groups. EUR 1.5 million was committed to the support programme for municipal development cooperation. The Government of Flanders also provided support for NGOs within the context of its projects in the North, primarily in the form of wage subsidies. As civil society actors in the realm of development cooperation, they have a key role to play in strengthening acceptance, in maintaining a watchful eye over government activities and in developing innovative projects in the South. By providing students in the South with the opportunity to pursue specific training programmes in Flanders, an indirect contribution is made to capacity building in their own countries. Scholarships administered in the donor country account for EUR 643,454 of 2011 expenditures.

These expenditures were essential in developing the policy for the development cooperation, as well as for its implementation. In 2011, these costs accounted for 5% of total ODA. This is in line with average administrative costs incurred by all OECD-DAC donors in 2010, which accounted for 5.77% of the ODA that was recorded.

3.2. The Flemish ODA spending pattern

Flemish ODA can be further broken down according to the actor receiving the funds, the primary sector and the recipient country. 3.2.1 Recipients 30% of 2011 Flemish ODA was disbursed to the United Nations and other multilateral institutions. This involves both un-earmarked, multilateral support as well as contributions that are linked to a geographic and/or thematic earmark. In order to maximise synergies between the bilateral development policies in the partner countries, contributions are concentrated on the countries of Southern Africa. In addition, UN agencies can serve as the executive partner of the country strategy papers. Scientific institutions account for 28% of the 2011 Flemish ODA. The Institute of Tropical Medicine received almost EUR 12 million in 2011 in the form of structural support from the departments of Education and Training and Economy, Science and Innovation. NGOs and non-profit organisations together received 22.8% of the ODA. This percentage is the sum of the share of Flemish NGOs and non-profits (17.6%), local NGOs (3%) and international NGOs (2%). A total of 11.1% of Flemish ODA is paid out directly to the governments of South Africa, Mozambique and Malawi. Finally, 2.4% of ODA goes directly to domestic cities and municipalities in order to strengthen support for development cooperation. These funds are fully derived from the development cooperation budget.

In Malawi and Mozambique, the channels of disbursement are evenly distributed between government entities, multilateral institutions and NGOs. In South Africa, 60% of 2011 Flemish ODA was delivered via the channel of multilateral institutions, almost 30% via the government, and almost 10% via NGOs. The Government of Flanders primarily used multilateral institutions for regionally-oriented programmes.

3.2.2 Sectors Flemish ODA per sector is detailed below. The sector coding system was developed by the OECD Development Assistance Committee and allows for comparisons to be made between the all donors. A sector describes the economic or social structure of the development which the transfer intends to foster.

Flemish ODA in 2011 is centred on the sectors of health (30%), education (12%) and agriculture and livestock farming (11%). The support for scientific research (10%) always constitutes an important category. Development education and raising awareness (7%) also prove to be relatively key sectors in terms of ODA. The ‘Other classification’ category (3%) includes few small expenditures in the sectors energy, forestry, peace-building, environmental protection and tourism.

3.2.2 Source of Flemish ODA contributions The number of policy areas actively engaged with development cooperation decreased from 11 to 8 between 2008 and 2011. Three policy areas were responsible for 95.3% of total Flemish ODA: Flemish Foreign Affairs (IV), Education and Training (OV), and Economy, Science and Innovation (EWI).

The share of overall ODA that is occupied by the Flemish Foreign Affairs Policy Area (IV) has increased over the past two years. As a result of increasing pressure on government spending, a number of policy areas have instituted cutbacks in expenditures on foreign projects and programmes. These cuts were partially compensated by higher spending from policy area IV. The chart below traces the progress of ODA in 2010 and 2011 from the perspective of a number of policy areas relative to the ODA that was implemented in 2009.

Budgetary spending on development cooperation (FICA) focuses on other aid typologies than does spending by other entities of the Government of Flanders. The lion’s share of FICA’s spending is accompanied by a cross-border transfer of funds. FICA expenditures are primarily made by means of projects in the partner countries (39.3%). These are carried out by governmental departments, NGOs, and multilateral as well as scientific institutions.

The specific programmes or funds administered by multilateral institutions (19.5%) are related to the support of existing programmes and funds of UNAIDS, the World Health Organization, the World Food Programme, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The third largest typology covers sectoral budgetary support (12.5%). Via budgetary support, a donor coordinates its contribution as much as possible with the policy aims of the recipient countries. The majority of spending by other entities of the Government of Flanders goes to actors based in the donor country. These funds are primarily funnelled to research institutions and NGOs by way of un-earmarked contributions (64.3%). Scientific institutions are mainly funded by the Department of Education and Training and the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation. The Department of Work and Social Economy also supports a number of domestic NGOs. The second most prominent spending channel deals with specific programmes or funds that are administered by multilateral institutions (20%). Denk aan: 1. The Flanders UNESCO Science Fund, funded by the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation and administered by UNESCO. 2. The Flanders UNESCO Trust Fund, funded by the Flemish Department of Foreign Affairs and administered by UNESCO. 3. The Flemish ILO Trust Fund, funded by the Flemish Department of Foreign Affairs and administered by the International Labour Organization.

3.3. The Flemish Development Cooperation spending pattern

The ODA statistics and the budget expenditures for development cooperation should not be confused with one another. Flemish ODA includes spending that originates from multiple policy areas within the Government of Flanders. Flemish spending on development cooperation constitutes a portion of overall Flemish ODA. FICA, which makes up a part of the Flemish Foreign Affairs Policy Area, is responsible for implementing the budget for development cooperation. In recent years, FICA spending has increasingly accounted for a larger share within overall Flemish ODA.

In this section (3.3), we delve deeper into the spending pattern of the budget for development cooperation. In 2011, a total of EUR 29,752,019 in development-relevant contributions was spent by FICA. This ODA can be further broken down according to spending channel and sectoral focus.

3.3.1 Spending categories of the Flanders International Cooperation Agency (FICA) FICA carries out the following duties in accordance with its instrument of ratification: • bilateral cooperation with partners in the South; • support of the actions and activities of indirect actors; • cooperative measures via multilateral organisations; • increasing support and raising awareness; • emergency aid and humanitarian assistance. These duties can also be inferred from FICA’s actual spending in 2011. - More than two thirds of its spending was committed to projects and programmes in developing countries; - NGOs are provided general support by way of wage subsidies (4% of expenditures). They develop awareness raising activities in Flanders, or can be implementing partners in the South. - 31% of expenditures go to programmes and projects administered by multilateral institutions in the partner countries and in the priority region of Southern Africa. The general budgetary support provided to multilateral institutions accounts for 4% of expenditures. - FICA spends 7% on raising awareness in Flanders and 5% on raising awareness via local authorities through its support for municipal development cooperation. Humanitarian aid accounts for 5% of FICA expenditures in 2011 (excluding general budget support for UN agencies that provide humanitarian aid).

3.3.2. Sectors When compared to total Flemish ODA (see section 3.2.2), a more intensive sectoral concentration can be found within the expenditures of the Flemish Development Cooperation. The focal sectors of bilateral cooperation can be linked to the actual payments: health (33%), agriculture & livestock farming (20%) and boosting the creation of dignified jobs (6%). In addition, there are a number of core tasks carried out by FICA, i.e. raising awareness (12%), the processing of humanitarian aid files (7%) and the general support of NGOs by way of grants to cover the cost of wages paid to staff employed under the former DAC status (under sector code ‘sector undefined’: 3%). Total administrative costs represent 8% of expenditures.

3.3.2 Recipients Multilateral institutions account for 36% of FICA spending in 2011. NGOs - both domestic and foreign - receive roughly 30% of total spending, while governments in South Africa, Mozambique and Malawi represent 19.1% of spending. Cities and municipalities receive 4.4% of expenditures from the development cooperation budget. The small share provided to scientific institutions (1%) stands in contrast to the large share accorded these institutions within the overall ODA (28%). Institutions that carry out developmentrelevant research mainly receive their support from the departments of EWI and OV.

3.3.3. Evolution of the commitments and payments for baseline allocation for projects in the South When compared to the previous two years, the average budgetary size of planned programmes or projects is on the rise. Out of a total amount of EUR 19,948,864, 17 budgetary commitments were made for projects in the South. The number of commitments, as well as their average monetary value, points to a fragmentation of the aid. Larger financial commitments can serve to enhance the predictability of the donor because they often provide a relevant contribution over the course of several years, which makes it easier for recipient countries to account for this income when planning their budgets.

A commitment encompasses the total cost of a programme or project and implies a financial commitment on the part of the donor. A commitment is then paid in one or more instalments, based on the progress being made locally. Each payment order entails a certain administrative cost for donor and recipient alike. Calculating the average instalment for CPA is a good way to gauge the impact of donor proliferation, given the concerns over the administrative costs incurred by recipient countries. There was a slight drop in the average instalment in 2011. This can be partially explained by a reduction in the average commitment made in 2010 and 2009.

3.4. The Flemish ODA in perspective

3.4.1. The evolution of Flemish ODA With the exception of 2010, the ODA has seen constant growth over the past 10 years. In 2011, Flemish ODA exceeded the EUR 50 million milestone for the first time. This growth was coupled with a further professionalising of the Flemish Development Cooperation. FICA, established in 2006, has been responsible for an increasingly larger share of the overall aid over the past four years (indicated in blue in the bar chart). Steady growth was also seen in funding for scientific institutions and universities. This support has in many instances been contractually specified, leading to a more stable flow of expenditures (indicated by red in the bar chart). Other ODA expenditures rose through 2009, and then began to decline in 2010 and 2011 (indicated in green in the bar chart).

The increase in FICA’s expenditures within the overall ODA can also be seen in the evolution of CPA. Only expenses of the head agency (FICA), which can be planned in the budget of developing countries, can be considered to be CPA. For more information on this indicator, please refer to the methodological background (section 2.1.). Based on the evolution of the CPA, the partner countries of the Flemish Development Cooperation received increasing levels of support.

The sectors of health, agriculture, and raising awareness all increased as a proportion of total ODA. The education sector dipped by 3.5% relative to total ODA between 2006 and 2011, in part as a result of a decrease in expenditures from the Department of Education and Training. Scientific research and sector undefined (= NGO support) saw a relative decrease of 2%. Expenditures in other sectors in 2011 varied less than 1% when compared to the average share of sectors over the previous six years.

3.4.3. Flanders as donor in the international context The contribution made by Flanders to the partner countries of the Flemish Development Cooperation can be compared with that of other donors. Because figures for the 2011 ODA of other donors were not yet available at the time of writing, this comparison ends in 2010.

Between 2009 and 2010, the proportion of the Flemish contribution to the total bilateral development cooperation in South Africa remained relatively constant, while its rank among donors dropped by three positions. In Mozambique, Flanders dropped to 20th among the list of bilateral donors. Flemish ODA to Malawi rose sharply, both in terms of its overall share within the ODA that was provided to Malawi as well as its donor ranking.

4. Bilateral cooperation The Framework Decree on development cooperation describes bilateral cooperation as forms of cooperation funded by the Government of Flanders and based on an agreement between the Government of Flanders and the partner country of the Flemish Development Cooperation. These are countries from the South, represented by their governments, which are considered to be priorities for the Flemish Development Cooperation. Besides partnering with the central governments of the partner countries, the Flemish Development Cooperation can possibly, if permitted by law or by the central government of that partner country, also partner with states and regional authorities. At the present time, the Flemish Development Cooperation has three partner countries: South Africa, Mozambique and Malawi.

South Africa The Flemish Development Cooperation started out in 1994 with South Africa as its first partner country. In the space of a decade, this cooperation has seen profound changes: from the mere support of NGOs operating in South Africa, to direct cooperation with the South African authorities. The development cooperation between Flanders and South Africa is laid down in a bilateral agreement - a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) - as well as a strategy paper establishing the priorities for cooperation over a five-year time period. On 15 July 2011, the Government of Flanders approved the second 2012-2016 strategy paper on development cooperation. Focus is being given to two sectors that have been designated as priorities by the South African government: agriculture and food security, job creation and entrepreneurship. In addition to cooperation with the government, room has also been created for cooperation with non-state actors. Results from the evaluation of the previous strategy paper for 2005-2009 were taken into account when this strategy paper was drafted.

Mozambique Development cooperation between Flanders and Mozambique was formally initiated in 2002. In 2004, Flanders and Mozambique entered into an initial MOU on cooperation in the health sector. The primary aim of that MOU was to intensify the fight against HIV/AIDS. In 2009, a second MOU was negotiated, which placed more focus on the broader mode of cooperation. It dealt with the rights and obligations of the partners and the resources and tools to be deployed for cooperation. In 2006, the cooperation was incorporated by Flanders and Mozambique into an initial strategy paper for the 2006-2010 time period, which emphasised the support of initiatives in both the health and education sectors. The second strategy paper (2011-2015) focused entirely on advancing the right of the Mozambican population to health. Further sectoral concentration was needed to be able to provide meaningful and cost-effective contributions and support from within the already heavily populated field of donors in Mozambique. Efforts within the health sector were primarily focused on making a contribution to: (1) the further development of a critical mass of well-trained and highly-motivated health care workers; (2) the provision of solid health research and a comprehensive health monitoring programme of diseases and epidemics; (3) the promotion of sexual and reproductive health and rights; and (4) the promotion of good nutrition and nutritional practices.

Malawi On 28 April 2006, the Government of Flanders selected Malawi as the third partner country for the Flemish Development Cooperation. A Memorandum of Understanding was subsequently signed in January 2007. This Memorandum provides a framework for supporting the development plans of the Malawian government, with the goal of fighting poverty and encouraging economic growth as described in the Malawi Growth & Development Strategy report. Fact-finding missions that were conducted clearly indicated that Malawi’s priorities lie in agriculture and food security. At the request of its partner, Flanders has decided to lend its cooperation in these sectors. On 7 November 2008, an initial joint 2009-2013 strategy paper was approved. In addition to agriculture & food security, health care also became a priority concentration sector for cooperation with Malawi beginning in 2009. When developing new initiatives, Flanders works to coordinate its activities and its cooperation with other donors. This cooperation includes sectoral support for the health sector and sectoral support for agriculture is in the preparatory stage.

Other countries Flanders signed a cooperation treaty with Chile in 1995. Within the broader context of Flemish foreign policy, Chile is the only partner in Latin America with which Flanders cooperates at the structural level in several areas. In 2011, a number of projects were supported in Chile that were aimed at economic development and rural tourism. The Flemish Department of Foreign Affairs supported nursery and primary education in the interior of Suriname by way of nucleus centres.

Integrated network for combating HIV/AIDS/STDs in Tete Province Recipient Artsen Zonder Grenzen CPA Subsidy 1.575.000 € Commitment year 2007 Payment in 2011 389.890 € Sector Population policies & reproductive health Policy domain IV The general goal of the project is to improve the capacity of the Provincial Health Care Services in Tete Province (DPS Tete) with respect to high quality treatment for HIV/AIDS/STDs. The ‘integrated network’ model for HIV/AIDS-related services, described in the HIV/AIDS/STD (2004-2008) strategic plan for the health sector, remains in place, but has been reinterpreted. The emphasis is now on the inclusion of HIV/AIDS services in the general health services. In December 2006, Tete Province started decentralising its antiretroviral therapy treatment services to all districts. During the first phase of the project, support to HIV/AIDS services that were provided by health services was preferred to direct support to people-oriented activities. Other support and organisations operated in a complementary fashion. During the second phase it is opted to continue this strategy. However, this time, attention is also paid to the decentralisation of the granted support, to an integrated training programme at the health training centre and to the building of capacity within provincial and district health services in terms of the coordination, monitoring and supervision of the services. The aim of the project is to transfer the entirety of the HIV/AIDS/STD services to the Tete provincial hospital by the end of the first year. Activities geared towards preventing vertical transmission will be intensified and decentralised to allow them to reach the whole of the province. The provincial hospital will keep its status as a reference hospital. The project is coordinated by the provincial health services of Tete (DPS Tete) province and implemented by Médecins sans Frontières (MSF), the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITG) in Antwerp and the International Centre for Reproductive Health of Ghent University (ICRH/UG). The project lasts three years (July 2007 - June 2010).

Innovations in Maternal Child Health Recipient Clinton Health Access Initiative (Chai) CPA Subsidy 1.037.796 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 785.880 € Sector Health Policy domain IV The Clinton Health Access Initiative supports the development of high quality basic health care for all, by facilitating the effective distribution of health services and an efficient management of health systems, in cooperation with the government. This project supports the national initiative of the Mozambican government to achieve the health targets by 2015 by reinforcing the national health system and increasing the number of HIV patients in treatment.The project has the following specific objectives: 1. the early detection of infections, with specific attention to mothers and children 2. the reduction of mother-to-child transmission 3. increased access and better health results for a population of 8.8 million patients.

Improved detection of tuberculosis in Mozambique Recipient Apopo Vzw CPA Subsidy 590.695 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 382.184 € Sector Health Policy domain IV Despite all the efforts that have been made in the field of tuberculosis control in Mozambique, one of the biggest challenges in combating this rapidly spreading disease is to increase the TB detection rate. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of a simple, fast and accurate diagnostic method. Due to this alarming situation, the Mozambican government has declared this epidemic to be a national emergency and for this reason drafted a National Strategic Plan 2008-2012. In 2011, the Mozambican government wants to raise the detection rate from 53% to 58% and substantially increase the recovery rate and the number of TB patients that is tested for HIV/AIDS. With an eye to finding a solution to this pressing problem of TB diagnosis in countries with limited resources and infrastructure, Apopo has started exploring the possibility of using African HeroRATs to detect tuberculosis. By implementing its unique TB detection technology Apopo aims: (1) to contribute to the national TB control programme of Mozambique by effectively increasing the number of detected TB patients in the short term; (2) to build a local capacity of TB detection rats and trainers to also have a continued long-term impact on the reduction of the TB problem in Mozambique.

Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) Recipient Red Cross - Vlaanderen Internationaal Vzw CPA Subsidy 300.000 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 170.000 € Sector Social Infrastructure Policy domain IV A number of trends can be explicitly attributed to the consequences of HIV/AIDS: the increase of single parent families, the growing number of orphans and children as head of the family, the loss of productivity as a result of chronically ill family members, and the work overload among medical staff. The number of minors that lost one or both parents as a result of HIV was estimated at 441,000 among the 1.6 million orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Mozambique. Indirect consequences include an increase in the number of children that leave school early and the migration of men to other provinces and countries in search of better living conditions.This project aims to meet this challenge by alleviating the suffering of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and their carers/families. The specific objective is to improve the care for and support of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and to increase the knowledge of HIV/AIDS in the target communities. Expercted results: 1. improved capacity of carers/foster families and the target communities in supporting OVCs in the districts of Chíuta, Chifunde and Changara by late 2012; 2. better nutrition for OVCs in the districts of Chíuta, Chifunde and Changara by late 2012; 3. enhanced knowledge of the Rights of the Child in the districts of Chíuta, Chifunde and Changara by late 2012; 4. less illiteracy among OVCs in the districts of Chíuta, Chifunde and Changara by late 2012; 5. improved health promotion behaviour with regard to HIV/AIDS prevention in the districts of Chíuta, Chifunde and Changara by late 2012.

Improved sexual and reproductive health services and rights for high- risk groups in Tete Recipient Universiteit Gent CPA Subsidy 553.046 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 200.000 € Sector Population policies & reproductive health Policy domain IV In the Moatize district a clinic is situated where members of staff provide information about sexual health in the evening. They provide this information to 2 specific target groups who are vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and STDs, namely female sex workers and lorry drivers. In addition, the members of staff of the clinic also treat STDs, test people for HIV and syphilis, and offer contraception.The specific goal of this project is to improve the access to high quality services for sexual and reproductive health and rights for female sex workers and their clients.The target group of the project consists of more than 4,500 female sex workers in the Tete region (Mozambique) and their clients, mainly long-distance lorry drivers. Female sex workers run a high risk of contamination by HIV/AIDS and disorders such as syphilis and gonorrhoea, but they often also fall victim to sexual violence, unwanted pregnancy, harmful vaginal practices and cervical cancer. Female sex workers are difficult to reach and have very limited access to social, legal and health services. These women are highly discriminated and stigmatised by their activities as sex worker.

Basic health care and capacity building in Tete Province, Mozambique Recipient Red Cross - Vlaanderen Internationaal Vzw CPA Subsidy 250.000 € Commitment year 2009 Payment in 2011 144.189 € Sector Health Policy domain IV The project is a continuation of an earlier project of the same name that was adopted in 2006. The project strategy is still composed of two parts: basic health care and capacity building. As far as basic health care is concerned, the various aspects are maintained: health care, health education, water and sanitation, HIV/AIDS awareness, home care for people with HIV/AIDS and care for orphans. However, the methodology that was used has changed. The idea was also to introduce the new methodology for basic health care, i.e. the ‘Community Based Health and First Aid approach’ (CBH&FA), in the Tete programme in 2010. General objective: to reduce the vulnerability of the target group in terms of health and to increase the capacity of our sister association at different levels. Specific goals: 1. To finish the activities remaining from the 2006-2009 action. 2. To strengthen activities that were started during the 2006-2009 action with regard to basic health care and capacity building. 3. To introduce the new Community-Based Health and First Aid methodology (CBHFA).

Scaling up Access and Demand for Male Circumcision in Tete Province Recipient Population Services International (PSI) Mozambique CPA Subsidy 375.000 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 167.500 € Sector Health Policy domain IV General objective: increase access to and demand for adult male circumcision in Tete Province, via capacity building support to the Ministry of Health, to help prevent HIV transmission as well as other sexually transmitted infections among men and women in Tete. Summary: PSI/Mozambique will work with the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Tete Province to select two health facilities to scale up access to safe, quality adult male circumcision (MC) services among HIV negative men. MC services will help prevent the transmission of HIV between women and men as well as other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). PSI will train existing health providers, including nurses, doctors and health technicians, within the select MOH facilities to improve their capacity to provide minor surgical procedures, including MC. The MOH staff will be supported by 1-2 PSI staff during the first two years of the project to provide the entire MC package to ensure quality service delivery and to meet demand. The MC package will also include group education, individual HIV counseling and testing, MC counseling and a 2- and 7- day check up and with condom access and counseling. The proposed project will reach over 15,000 men over two years and avert over 16,800 disability adjusted life years (DALYs) and avert 836 cases of HIV.

Mine action plan mozambique gaza province 2009-2013 Recipient Apopo Vzw CPA Subsidy 1.199.858 € Commitment year 2009 Payment in 2011 291.927 € Sector Conflict, peace, safety and security Policy domain IV The “Mine Action Plan Mozambique Gaza Province” runs from 2009 to 2013. The Government of Flanders grants aid amounting to 1.2 million Euros to the npo Apopo for demining actions in Gaza Province. The National Demining Institute has requested APOPO to take up responsibility for the demining of Gaza province. APOPO has drawn up a programme for clearing the mines in this province by 2013. This will be done district by district. Each district will be subject to a Mine Free District Evaluation before being declared safe. It involves an overall surface area of nearly 3.8 million square metres. APOPO will do this at a cost price (1.3 USD per square metre) which is significantly lower than the internationally accepted standard of 2 USD per square metre. Apart from detecting and clearing mines, APOPO will also apply the principles of ‘land release’. The purpose of ‘land release’ is to avoid the use of expensive demining instruments in places where mines are unlikely to be found.

Dissemination of the results of the study into Gender, Sexuality and Vaginal Practices Recipient ICRH Mozambique CPA Subsidy 61.410 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 49.128 € Sector Population policies & reproductive health Policy domain IV General objective of the study: to map out and gain a better understanding of vaginal practices that affect the health and sexuality of women. It is also very important to illustrate the overall social context in which these practices occur, viz. gender sensitivity, economy, culture, religion, and the historical and medical settings. It is also essential to understand the motivation of women for carrying out such practices. The general objective of the project (dissemination of study results) is to share the study results with the communities that participated in the study. The results must also be communicated to anyone who prepares and implements national policy plans regarding STDs, HIV/AIDS and sexuality. Work will also be done on awareness raising and prevention at the national and international levels.

Support to agricultural extension training and services Recipient Bunda College Of Agriculture CPA Subsidy 1.359.143 € Commitment year 2008 Payment in 2011 408.000 € Recipient Department Of Agricultural Extension Services CPA Subsidy 752.990 € Commitment year 2008 Payment in 2011 225.897 € Recipient Natural Resources College CPA Subsidy 695.700 € Commitment year 2008 Payment in 2011 208.710 € Recipient Small Scale Livestock Promotion Programme CPA Subsidy 694.906 € Commitment year 2008 Payment in 2011 208.906 € Sector Agriculture and livestock farming Policy domain IV The general objective is to support the extension services provided to farmers in order to improve their activities, i.e., the farming itself as well as the small-scale economic activities which they carry out. That is why the competencies of extension workers are improved. To this end the capacity of the three agricultural schools, the two departments involved, namely the Extension Department and the Department of Animal Health and Livestock, and an NGO which already has good expertise in this area, will first of all be increased. Moreover, the training materials for extension workers in schools and training institutes for farmers will be upgraded. This will enable these institutes to offer farmers a more holistic package of extension services. Key figures in the farmers’ community will be provided with the necessary material as well as farmer technicians, so that they can ensure the transfer of knowledge to farmers within a given community. Thanks to this transferred knowledge these farmers will be able to realise a higher food production and improve their living conditions. Each actor will make a specific contribution to the success of this programme.

Programme of Work II 2009 - 2015 Recipient Banya La Mtsogolo CPA Subsidy 500.000 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 170.000 € Sector Population policies & reproductive health Policy domain IV Malawi is facing countless challenges in the field of health. Not only is the HIV/AIDS epidemic growing, as a result of which more children are orphaned, the mortality rate among pregnant women and children under five is alarming as well. In combination with an explosive annual population growth of 3%, this causes family planning to become increasingly important in Malawi. The lack of good information and awareness-raising, combined with poverty, requires a comprehensive approach. The general objective of the project is to achieve a decrease in maternal mortality rates and population growth and to combat HIV/AIDS. The specific objective is to increase the use of modern family planning methods among the poorest rural population groups.

Increasing the incomes of small coffee farmers through sustainable coffee production systems Recipient Mzuzu Coffee Planters Cooperative Union Limited CPA Subsidy 500.000 Commitment year 2009 Payment in 2011 150.000 € Sector Agriculture and livestock farming Policy domain IV This project proposal aims to improve the living conditions of small coffee farmers by diversifying their incomes.

This should be reflected in higher incomes, improved housing conditions and social achievements.

Reinforcing the dairy Subsidy for small farmers in Malawi Recipient Malawi Milk Producers Association CPA Subsidy 500.000 € Commitment year 2009 Payment in 2011 150.000 € Sector Agriculture and livestock farming Policy domain IV Through this project Flanders aims to reinforce the dairy sector in the centre and the north of Malawi. The project will work around the following four result areas for four years: 1. capacity building and training of farmers and milk bulk groups; This result area focuses on the direct link with the farmers and the less favoured regions. The idea is to increase the low milk production through good training and management. New and existing farmers will be trained in marketing, hygiene and quality control. The effects of this project will include, among other things, an increased income, more self-respect, improved soils thanks to fertilisers, access of farmers to the market, and food diversification. 2. strengthening the capacity of associations; Institutionally speaking, this is the most important result of the project. The personnel of the associations (CREMPA, MDFA and MMPA) will be trained to improve management and achieve sustainable associations. This includes, among other things, general and financial management in managing cooperatives, marketing, etc. 3. improving technical service provision; One of the important duties of the associations is to provide information to their members about animal welfare, nutrition, artificial insemination, barn construction, etc. Through the joint purchase of inputs, such as seeds, by the regional associations farmers will have to pay less than when they make individual purchases. In time, this will allow the association to continue to maintain itself. A well-functioning association that provides professional services will indeed attract more members. The farmers can switch more and more from informal to formal dairy production 4. increasing the number of cattle. The aim is to increase the number of cattle by organising all kinds of training programmes and finalising registration systems

Productive project regarding honey and strawberries Recipient NEMEC vzw Subsidy 75.000 € Commitment year 2007 Payment in 2011 25.000 € Sector Agriculture and livestock farming Policy domain IV Chile turned out to have a great need for modern beekeeping techniques and further training for local beekeepers. Through a simple study of the local situation it can be established that a skilled beekeeper can double, even triple, his income from honey. This project aims to strongly improve the cultivation capacity by thoroughly changing the approach to cultivation techniques. The expected outcome is the generation of higher profits with fruit that is of a much better quality. This can first of all be done with better varieties that are affordable for strawberry growers, to be realised with material that is not under pressure from some or other patent. Moreover, new techniques are supplied, as a result of which the grower is much less dependent on pesticides. Consequently, huge benefits are generated for both consumers and producers. Even the environment and soil will benefit from this. As a result, the expenses for the production are under considerably less pressure.

Strengthening national capacities for implementing the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in four selected countries in Southern Africa (Zimbabwe, Botswana, Malawi and Zambia), Recipient United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 287.525 € Sector Social Infrastructure Policy domain IV With this project UNESCO wants to assist the Southern African countries involved at the national level in preparing and implementing the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. The States Parties to the Convention have the obligation to make one or more inventories of the intangible heritage present on their territories. These inventories are to be drawn up with the participation of the local communities. Within a period of 24 months, the technical assistance provided by UNESCO, combined with the expertise contributed by Flanders (Flemish support centre for cultural heritage FARO), must lift the local capacity to an independently operating level. Currently, teaching materials, such as handbooks, teaching slides, curricula, etc., are being developed that will be tested during the project in a number of pilot training projects. Most of the selected countries are already involved in the inventory project, so there is a basis to start from. The final goal and expectation of the project is to enable the four countries involved to pursue a more efficient and effective policy on the preservation of their intangible heritage and to allow them to receive the benefits of a UNESCO recognition. This expertise-by-experience of UNESCO and the countries concerned will be used to train the neighbouring countries, if they wish so. In this way local cooperation in regional ties is promoted and information is exchanged.

It was approved by the United Nations General Assembly on 15 December 2005 and launched in March 2006. Following a disaster, the world looks to the UN to lead the international response. The UN relies on donor contributions to undertake relief activities. Contributions, however, can often be unreliable, uneven and late. Early and predictable funding is essential. It prevents situations from spiraling out of control, saving resources and, more important, saving lives. The CERF was created to ensure that funds are available immediately in response to disasters and emergencies. The Fund provides an easy and centralized way to support the UN’s life-saving efforts in humanitarian crises around the world. Whether in response to a headline disaster or a forgotten crisis, the CERF permits the UN to respond rapidly and equitably to save lives.

This fund is an example of how Flanders translates some of its international commitments in the area of biodiversity and sustainable forest management into concrete actions. The Fund aims to concentrate on forestation and reforestation projects in the context of the Kyoto protocol, and at the same time, to work harder to ensure that projects of this type make a genuine contribution toward conserving biodiversity and the social development of the population groups involved. The fund is administered by the Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos (Agency for Nature and Forests) as well as the Flemish non-profit organisation, Groenhart.

Flemish Partnership Water for Development The Flemish Partnership Water for Development was launched on World Water Day 2004 as a cooperative link between several Flemish NGOs, companies, (educational) institutions and the Government of Flanders. Flanders pledged its involvement in the Millennium Development Goal that is intended to help reduce by half the number of people having no access to clean water by 2015. The Partnership maintains the concrete and explicit goal of helping as many people in third-world countries with water and/or sanitation by 2015 as there are inhabitants of Flanders. An annual appeal is made by the Flemish minister for Environment and Nature for proposals on water and sanitation projects for the South. Scholarships Through indirect channels, access to training sessions, studies, conferences, lecturers, etc. is increased in the developing countries.

Alternative forest production systems and land use planning to reduce deforestation of Tumbesino Forest, Ecuador Recipient NCI Subsidy 36.913 € Commitment year 2008 Payment in 2011 7.383 € Sector Forestry Policy domain LNE The price increase of many food crops as a result of the rising demand for biofuels causes all kinds of ecological and socio-economic problems worldwide. In Latin America the increased maize price (from 18 USD per 100kg in 2005 to 34 USD per 100kg in 2008) has led to many coffee farmers logging their shadow coffee plantations and other forests for these lucrative, unsustainable practices. Consequently, apart from the destructive consequences of animal husbandry and illegal logging, which have been known for a long time already, a new threat has emerged for the forest. In the south of Ecuador the maize did not yield the expected return as a result of climate conditions. The consequence is therefore deforestation, but without additional revenues and the continuation of unsustainable practices.The project wants to work on an alternative management for the Papalongo micro-basin (2,100 ha), where the farming communities and the municipality are working on safeguarding their water supply. This project consists of two parts:1) the zoning and participatory land use planning of the micro-basin to identify the different remaining natural forests and in this way help avoid the deforestation thereof;2) the reforestation with indigenous species, including Tara (Caesalpinia spinosa), agroforestry systems with coffee and fruit trees in order to increase and diversify the sources of income of the local communities. The proposed alternatives can compete with maize.These alternatives will help harness carbon, avoid deforestation and protect the water supply.

According to the latest reports, some 500 people were killed and over 1,000 people wounded. Over 2,000 flats are also reported to have collapsed, mainly in the most hard-hit cities, such as Erciş and the provincial capital city of Van itself. What is certain is that many tens of thousands of citizens were made homeless due to the fact that their houses collapsed or were damaged. For lack of any shelter, a lot of people are currently living in the open air or are afraid to return to their homes for fear of aftershocks. Since the nights are growing increasingly colder in this elevated area in eastern Turkey, with temperatures nearly reaching freezing point at night, emergency temporary shelter is a priority. In concrete terms, the Turkish Red Cross is asking for 10,000 family tents, 50,000 blankets and 50,000 sleeping bags to meet the most urgent shelter needs of 50,000 people. The Belgian Red Cross Flanders wants to contribute to this by purchasing and dispatching about 300 family tents, and possibly also blankets or sleeping bags. It is currently examined which items are available for immediate shipment.

The activities relate to plant biotechnology and the application thereof in the food supply system. Examples include the growing of traditional local crops which are more resistant to stress (dry and rough land, tolerance against a high aluminium level, etc.) or which contain high levels of certain substances which are lacking in local foods (vitamin A, medicinal substances, etc.). The Flemish Region and Ghent University signed a first agreement concerning support for the IPBO on 10 June 2004. As a result, the Institute received funds for drawing up a strategic and financial plan for structural cooperation between the IPBO and the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB). The ICGEB was formed under the auspices of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO). This organisation conducts and coordinates research and training in molecular biology and biotechnology, with particular attention given to the needs of developing countries. In 2007, the IPBO received an operating grant of EUR 100,000. This amount is annually reduced by EUR 10,000 up to and including 2011.

Gold campaign

Recipient Catapa Policy domain IV Subsidy 182.500 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 73.000 € Objective: justified and responsible methods of gold mining have been examined and discussed with the sector. The main stakeholders have reached a joint accepted definition of a concrete alternative that is implemented and available on the market in Flanders.Public outreach campaigns denouncing the large impact of gold mining are launched everywhere in the South. Large campaigns were also organised in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain. Unfortunately, most campaigns are limited to denouncing pollution, health impact and accidents. With this campaign, CATAPA not only wants to denounce the problems, but also aims to put forward a clear alternative. Given the fact that this is not available just like that, we spent 15 months developing and studying an honest alternative and creating a strong network to launch this new honest culture product from the South as of 1 December 2012. Until Valentine's Day in 2013 it will conduct a broad public outreach campaign with approved formulas, such as a campaign clip and video, a number of famous Flemish people and media reportages. Each year, in the sales periods between 1 December and 14 February, it organises speakers' tours with a number of witnesses from Latin America, partially from affected communities, and of course especially from good examples of communities that have indeed been able to foster local sustainable development. The focus is shifted from research and networking with civil society organisations and the gold sector in year 1, to a public outreach campaign on the use of jewellery in year 2, to gold in technological applications in year 3, in cooperation with the processing industry.

Educational pathway for future craftsmen in the wood sector regarding forests and climate in a global context

Recipient Groenhart vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 176.897 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 35.379 € Climate change and the associated forest conservation or avoided deforestation are hot issues. A great deal of information has been published and produced on this topic (articles, teaching kits, films, debates,...). These themes, or rather problems, are still insufficiently known by today's youth, in particular by future craftsmen in the wood sector in Flanders. Due to the lack of knowledge, in connection with their interests and social environment, these wood users and woodworkers of the future do not play any active role in using sustainably produced wood themselves or in encouraging other parties to do so. The education sector would definitely also like to find suitable methods to publicise this matter in a way that will make a lasting impression. Specific goals: 1. Some 1,000 to 1,500 young people aged between 16 and 20, who belong to the future craftsmen in the Flemish wood sector (which is about 50%), are aware of the importance of forest conservation, forest restoration and sustainable wood management in the North and South to the fight against global climate change. 2. Some 100 to 150 young people aged between 16 and 20, who belong to the future craftsmen in the Flemish wood sector (which is about 5%), commit themselves to an adjusted climate-friendly wood use and encourage others to do so as well (at school, within the youth movement, professional sector,..) by means of an action model which they themselves have set up.

Kleur het bos van je dromen Recipient Groenhart vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 179.908 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 71.963 € Groenhart wants to foster this from its specific niche. From a unique cooperation with MUS-E Belgium and two Ecuadorian partner organisations, Groenhart aims to have more than 20,000 Flemish children, young people and adults experience how important natural resources are to development in the South.This will be done in 4 steps:- Ecuadorian youth from different backgrounds will, with the assistance of two Ecuadorian partner organisations and multi-media experts, compile a digital teaching kit in which they record the functions of forests/nature in a truly impressive manner from a sociocultural perspective.- This multi-media kit of Ecuadorian origin will be finished into a completely digital teaching kit (the forest box) which will be used as basis by MUS-E Belgium to flesh out its specific art educational MUS-E programme. Under the guidance of professional artists MUS-E will set up specific workshops for some 400 9-to 13-year-olds within primary education. - In the Flemish schools concerned (minimum 10, often equal educational opportunities schools) open artistic activities are also provided in connection with these workshops, during which all the pupils of the school and the teachers will be involved and made aware of the significance of forests/nature for development. - The unique cooperation, the artistic angle, the International Year of Forests as well as the (cultural) richness of forests and nature allow for the frequent organisation of activities that require attention from the public and the media. The public at large (mainly in Flanders, but also in Ecuador) will also be stimulated via an attractive blog which focuses greatly on the North-South exchange.

De Zuid-Noord Klimaatspiegel Recipient Protos Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 114.635 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 22.927 € PROTOS and GREEN jointly develop an educational project entitled "De Z-N klimaatspiegel". For this purpose an interactive website is designed with background information, video material, a baseline and final measurement, a guidance package for teachers and an online assignments game. One of the assignments is the video game, for which they will cooperate with WERELDMEDIATHEEK (a game in which a series of short film fragments, i.e. the videos, are to be linked to each other). The idea is for pupils to learn to see connections between the consequences of climate change in the South and the effects that manifest themselves as a result of this in the North. For classes that wish to go further than merely raising awareness through the interactive website and want to encourage their pupils to take action, a class project called "klimaatvriendelijkheid binnen de eigen studierichting" is presented, for which PROTOS and GREEN will provide the necessary support. Out of these class projects 15 will be selected which will be presented to a jury in the Flemish Parliament at the Climate Forum (April-May 2012), in the presence of parliamentarians, experts and VIPs. The jury selects 5 class projects which will subsequently be placed on the website as start project and will serve as a source of inspiration for other classes that want to initiate a class project.

ART ECO - Creative process as intercultural dialogue Recipient Djapo Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 161.500 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 64.600 € De Veerman, Djapo, VVOB and Zuiderpershuis join efforts for a three-year project around art, NorthSouth, and sustainability. Throughout Flanders, 10 primary schools will form a cluster with both a school and an artist from the South.In the first year of the project the three parties get to know each other and enter into communication. During the second year the Flemish schools organise activities around the artist from the South in the expressive education lessons and around the country from the South during the environmental studies lessons. In the third project year the Flemish school then sets up an extensive project to ensure a sustainable return for the South. This includes, among other things, the activities that are organised around the artist. Apart from that, the results may greatly differ.During this phase of the project De Veerman and the Zuiderpershuis are looking for interesting artists from the South. De Veerman also screens Flemish schools who can and want to participate in the project. During the next phase, schools and artists in the North and South are linked to each other.

Dvd: de wereld vertelt Recipient Natuurpunt Educatie Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 28.642 € Commitment year 2008 Payment in 2011 17.185 € 1. The project wants to inform citizens about the theme of sustainable development within the broad theme of the Millennium Development Goals, with focus on the campaign 2015 De Tijd Loopt, Countdown 2010 and the Kyoto Protocol. Citizens are informed about the theme, the situation worldwide and in their own country, and about how sustainable choices have an impact both locally and in the South. 2. The project wants to educate people in sustainable development, as the use of the DVD can be linked to numerous educational activities. The DVD approaches sustainable development as a development that integrates the ecological, economic, social and participatory aspect and pays attention to global and long-term effects. Education on sustainable development is of vital importance because a sustainable world is impossible without the participation of the people. 3. Finally, during the third phase, Natuurpunt aims to encourage people to take action and to stimulate them into social commitment. By showing diverse aspects of sustainable development, citizens come into contact with concrete projects, initiatives and elements from everyday life that encourage and stimulate people to give meaning and to change their behaviour. By linking the DVD to existing local initiatives (website), local participation is stimulated. This increases the chances of people continuing to make sustainable choices, even after the project has ended.

De Zuidprik " genoeg gepraat, tijd voor een klimaatdaad" Recipient Broederlijk Delen Policy domain IV Subsidy 180.000 € Commitment year 2009 Payment in 2011 72.000 € Contributing to a broader community of young people who are active in North-South solidarity. Young people become actors and create in Flanders new cores of young people who are active in NorthSouth solidarity. It concerns 16- to 18-year-olds, within the context of school or a youth movement.

Greenergy Recipient Green VZW Policy domain IV Subsidy 134.209 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 26.842€ Young people are often not aware of the consequences of climate change in the South and even less of the impact thereof on our society (more refugees, taking our responsibility in terms of finances, how to organise development cooperation,...). Through the sub-theme 'energy' we want to familiarise them with these problems. Inspiring testimonies of peers and activating methodologies encourage the young people to take action. 1) To raise awareness in Flemish youth of energy and climate issues and the relating unjust relations between North and South through several methodologies. 2) To effect a change in mentality and behaviour in Flemish youth.

Oostende Tropical Recipient Koninklijke Vlaamse Schouwburg Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 179.100 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 71.640 € Within the framework of Theater Aan Zee/TAZ (Theatre by the Sea) a programme of awarenessraising and educational activities is developed which illustrate the importance of culture to sustainable development in Africa. These activities are organised around performances (theatre, dance, music, exhibitions) of African artists which are included in the Theater Aan Zee programme. Oostende Tropical wants to establish an explicit link between the global (Africa) level and the local (Ostend) level. Therefore, it will involve specific, less obvious population groups in the design and implementation of this project. KVS, TAZ and the local 11.11.11 committees will actively work together with other associations and groups from Ostend for this purpose. Since the programme covers a three-year period, frequent consultation and cooperation will take place between the different partners, before, during and after the festival.

Sharing world views: students from Congo and Belgium make room for the future. Recipient Ucos Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 180.000 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 72.000 € With this project UCOS wants to create, together with a mixed group of students from Flanders and Katanga, a cross-media forum for Congolese views on the future which are translated artistically by Congolese cultural producers and displayed in Lubumbashi and Brussels. The idea is for participants and the audience to understand and appreciate the content and power of expression of culture from the South, so as to become inspired to make a contribution of their own to sustainable development. The project consists of three consecutive project years, with a large-scale closing event at the end of the third year.

Joint public outreach campaign on climate by the environmental and North/South movements Recipient 11.11.11 VZW Policy domain IV Subsidy 137.933 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 27.587 € Deepening and widening support in Flanders for the climate issue from the North/South perspective and for the North/South issue from the climate perspective by joining forces in a joint public outreach campaign. The message of the campaign has two tracks or angles: - to support the South with more resources to limit the damage resulting from climate change and to develop a carbon-neutral economy; - to take up our responsibility over here by reducing emissions in the North. Expected results: 1. Cooperation is established and supported between VODO, 11.11.11, BBL and their respective members which work around the central theme of climate. 2. A strategy has been outlined to extend to campaign to target groups that are involved in climate and environmental issues. 3. Communication, action models and instruments are developed to actively involve these new target groups in the campaign. 4. Cooperation and synergy between the environmental movement and the North/South movement is reinforced and structurally embedded.

Sexual Health and Youth Recipient Sensoa Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 149.995 € Commitment year 2009 Payment in 2011 59.998 € - Flemish young people are made aware of the sexual and reproductive health and rights, including HIV/AIDS, of young people in the South. - Pupils have useful tools and examples to shape their commitment.

Verhalenmachine (Story Machine) Recipient Groene Zeep Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 82.710 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 33.084 € Groene Zeep want to oppose the one-sided image of Africa given by today's media and the stereotype views that prevail in Belgian society. The image of Africa we are presented with today is usually either that of a continent in need which is torn by conflict or that of a traditional, exotic and authentic society. Through this project it is tried to point out to people that reality is much more complex and that this view should be nuanced.

Utopiart27 Recipient Art27 Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 106.810 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 42.724 € Utopiart27 wants to move forward in making the 27th article of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights public and in further realising the idea behind it. This 27th article declares: "Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in its scientific advancement and its benefits." With this project Art 27 wants to start partnerships in which visual art is the medium to approach globalisation in a positive way and to add local stimuli to make that essential human right accessible. Artists have always been fascinated by an achievable community. Some have worked on ‘utopian’ projects or are still working on them. Sometimes, this utopia seems too far away from reality or daily life, sometimes it worked out to be nothing more than an empty shell. But whatever, utopian creations give food for thought and inspire urban designers, economists, scientists and politicians, but just as well common people. An artist claimed that in Kinshasa local artists were financially supported by the community for sake of cultural and artistic input. The potential and the necessity of art speaks for itself. The engagement of artists is of vital importance for a community, both locally and worldwide. Artists have a cultural impact and give meaning to local and global coexistence. But art and culture can also contribute to an economic upturn: creative stimuli, based on a realistic planning give chance to survive and to find new solutions for old problems. Utopiart 27 looks at utopian art in both North and South through the perspective of the human rights. In concrete terms an exchange will be organised between the artworks of artists from Cuba, Mali and Flanders. One artist reflects on the work of another. The public – individual children and adults or groups - can, for their part, reflect on the project in exhibitions, workshops and elearning platforms. These shall also be accessible after the project. The Network in North and South continues to look for creative input, as well as the economic sale of art products.

Wapenland Recipient Educatief Theater Antwerpen Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 163.525 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 32.705 € The project Wapenland was developed by Educatief Theater Antwerpen, together with the authors Dirk Dobbeleers and Marc Hendrickx. After their previous projects "Wolken en een beetje regen" (traffic, bullying) and "Ma, pa, puinhoop!?" (running away from home, reconstituted families) they now chose ‘environment’ and ‘displacement’ as themes, which are - in a broader perspective - linked to human rights and the Millennium Development Goals. It is important that young people can contextualise and process the incentives they receive from the book and during the theatre performance. This is possible thanks to the educational dossier/DVD. The cooperating partners take the lead in this. They develop an accompanying brochure. Since these will often be used in a school context or by associations, and because the project also wants to reach individual young people, a project website and a weblog platform are developed as well. Information and authentic material, including testimonies, will be placed on them. Just like the previous projects, Wapenland also targets young people aged 13 to 16. They are at a critical age. If they are not interested in problems regarding development cooperation and sustainable development at this age, there is a great chance that these issues will leave them cold later on in life as well.

Ja, ik steun. Search for an innovative approach to development cooperation within associations Recipient Neos Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 5.000 € Commitment year 2010 Payment in 2011 5.000 € Neos is convinced that bridges can be built between the third and four pillars of development cooperation. In their opinion, involvement in a project (fourth pillar) is of major importance. However, the sustainability of a project (third pillar) should not be forgotten either. For this reason, neos want to look for a way to allow both pillars to complement rather than compete with each other. Neos wants to continue to leave room for fourth pillar initiatives. These initiatives can continue to be organised. However, as association Neos opts resolutely for a third pillar initiative, viz. Trias NGO, as privileged partner for development cooperation. The aim is to bring this initiative closer to the people.

Youngsters against unacceptable child labour Recipient Kinderrechtenhuis Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 182.495 € Commitment year 2007 Payment in 2011 36.468 € General description: To involve Flemish young people in the fight against unacceptable child labour on the basis of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child and ILO Convention 182. - Within the framework of a large awareness campaign in Flanders, the project aims to involve at least 10,000 Flemish young people in the fight against unacceptable child labour, mainly on the basis of the application of ILO Convention 182. - The project intends to invite, on an annual basis and in consultation with our local partners, a wellprepared and supported delegation of youngsters, consisting of three to five (former) child labourers, to stay a few weeks in Flanders to be involved in the campaign. Solidarity with the South is of paramount importance. - Each year, the project aims to involve 25 to 30 Flemish youngsters, who have worked at least six months in the South for one or other solidarity project, as privileged witnesses in the awareness activities that are organised over here. The project uses their insights, experiences and testimonies to reach Flemish youth. Young people wake up young people. - In cooperation with the social partners and the organisations confronted with this problem the project wants to make child labour debatable in its own country. The results of this qualitative research will be used in the campaign and be publicised with help from the media. 1. - After consultation with the regional Governments, Belgium has ratified ILO Convention 182. The project wants the government to take any measures resulting from the ratification of this Convention after the example of the Portuguese programme "de eliminacion de trabacho infantil (PETI)".

1,2,3 Piano - Kind zijn wereldwijd in beeld Recipient Studio Globo Policy domain IV Subsidy 105.123 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 42.049 € This project is set up around a documentary film with accompanying picture book (or set of pictures) about the daily lives of children from 3 exemplary countries in the South. This film about the experiences of children is realised in cooperation with partners in the South. A lot of attention is paid to topical images and a nuanced image building. Not only cultural differences and appearances (clothing, housing, nutrition,...) are discussed, but emphasis is above all placed on resemblances in experiences, dreams, and feelings. Through a nuanced image Flemish children discover the richness of diversity while focussing on similarities, and grow to adopt an attitude of openness and solidarity.In relation to this documentary film an educational processing session is organised as well as a training module for teachers, in order to give them a vision and background as well as concrete instruments for using the teaching kit themselves. This teaching kit is widely distributed throughout Flanders.

Contacts with the Congolese community in Flanders give added value to the project and will ensure a fascinating dialogue and interaction with the Flemish partners and cultural actors, the INA lecturers and the public at large.

Correspondents in the South Recipient HUB-EHSAL Vzw Policy domain IV Subsidy 133.295 € Commitment year 2011 Payment in 2011 53.318 € Every academic year, some 40 HUB students are provided with a practical training in the South. For instance, they participate as nurse in a vaccination programme of a regional hospital in Ghana. In this project the partnership aims to develop educational activities during which such experiences are shared with class groups from different levels of education in Flanders. As such, it provides valuable input for mobilising children and young people in Flanders, as well as for raising their awareness. It brings the South to the classroom, no longer as an abstract issue that is far from their own social environment, but as an impressive story that is closely monitored. The project provides for educational activities which place central focus on systematic correspondence between the training student and a fixed class in Flanders. The student, the class and the teacher complete a joint pathway. First, a number of themes are agreed. Then, the student shares his or her relevant practical training experiences. The class then works around this input within its own possibilities. After the practical training an initiative is organised at school. The content/educational training in the project enables the student, teacher and class to place the experiences. It pursues an active processing within a contentrelated framework at macro-level (historical and current backgrounds), meso-level (information about the practical training) and micro-level (personal reports and reflection on the practical training experience by the student). The project offers a digital platform to have any communication between the student and the class run as effectively and efficiently as possible. To this end the latest technology is used (blog, sharing of videos via Flickr and YouTube, Skype, etc.). Diversity-friendly technology is provided. During the first project year the focus will be on primary education. During the second year the target group is extended to secondary education (ASO, TSO, BSO and KSO), as well as special primary education. In the third project year the target group is extended to special secondary education. From the area of study of the student in practical training (including primary education teacher, nurse and remedial educationalist) there is always a link with the form of education of the target group.
