Aminata KANE | 21/06/2021
Pour la journée internationale des femmes, Enabel Mauritanie célèbre cette année le génie des femmes qui ont su déployer des efforts formidables afin de contrer la crise liée à la pandémie de la COVID-19 et d’escompter un meilleur futur à leur façon. Partout dans le monde, chacun à sa manière fait honneur aux dames, en cette journée mémorable.Pour participer à cette cérémonie, Enabel s’est mise en selle et en partenariat avec l’Observatoire de l’égalité du genre, financée par la Coopération Espagnole. L’Observatoire a pour but d’être un espace ouvert à la recherche, à la créativité et l’innovation. C’est un collectif qui est conçu pour suivre l’évolution du caractère social de la thématique de l’égalité du genre. L’égalité des genres et l’autonomisation des femmes constituent une priorité aussi bien pour Enabel et ses partenaires et ce conformément aux axes de sa stratégie genre #WeforHer et de son Plan d’entreprise 2020.L’évènement s’est déroulé dans la bonne humeur et des échanges fructueux se sont faits entre les étudiants et les partenaires présents. La salle était pleine et tout le monde avait son masque. Les propos sont traduits et les étudiants se répartissent les présentations selon la langue préférée.Le tout a débuté avec l’introduction de la modératrice Mme Houleye KANE et les remerciements de l’observatoire avec Mme Binta SY, assistante technique. Suivi de Rita SANTOS, coordinatrice de l’AECID qui a offert ses félicitations aux femmes et à l’université, mot sur l’avancement de l’égalité dans tous les pays, « mais un travail reste à faire, pas en avant sur le focus de l’égalité, inclure la femme dans l’avancement vers la qualité dans l’entreprenariat», explications de la mission de l’OBEG et motivation pour que les étudiants avancent dans leurs recherches et études pour le développement de la Mauritanie. La présentation s’est poursuivie avec le Doyen Faculté des Sciences Juridiques et Economiques de l'Université et son mot de bienvenue, félicitations pour l’engagement des étudiants et leurs investissements, échange sur thématique sur le genre et leur conscience de leur apport et souhait d’échanges fructueux. Exposition sur chaque groupe thématique de l’OBEG :-Exposé sur la mission, les fonctions et objectif de l’OBEG-Justice, exposé sur les textes juridiques concernant l’égalité du genre-Education, exposé sur éducation féminine en Mauritanie et perspectives d’amélioration-Santé, exposé sur la reproduction, contraception et planning familiale-Médias et Communication, exposé sur taux et présence des femmes dans les médias-Développement durable et entreprenariat féminin, exposé sur femme et emploi, le contexte, l’évolution, convention et illustration. Le panel Enabel a été animé par Mathias LARDINOIS, directeur pays, avec un mot explicatif sur les interventions, l’importance de la stratégie genre dans les activités et la résilience des femmes pendant la pandémie. Il a été suivi par Djeinaba TOURE qui présenta l’entreprenariat féminin avec son histoire, ses faits importants, son lien avec le développement durable et elle a fini avec ses recommandations. Sa présentation a été ponctuée de chiffre illustrant l’évolution des femmes dans le secteur de l’entreprenariat dans le monde.Elle a aussi donné des clarifications sur les caractéristiques des entrepreneuses en les séparant en différents groupes ; selon leur environnement positif ou négatif, les éléments déclencheurs de leur aventure dans l’entrepreneuriat et explication sur le plafond de fer qui freine et limite les femmes dans leur processus entrepreneurial. Un exposé brillant et plein d’informations pour mieux comprendre le pourquoi et le comment de l’expérience des femmes dans l’entrepreneuriat. Les panels suivants portaient sur l’éducation avec l’AFD, présentation historique de l’entrepreneuriat avec l’UE, l’ANAPEJ service public de l’emploi et sa mise en place de leur cellule genre et le dernier panel était l’ONG ACTIONS avec un plongeon dans l’économie sociale et solidaire.Pour finir, on peut dire que l’évènement fut un succès avec des échanges dynamiques et que les résultats attendus ont été atteints, apportés aux étudiants :Une idée sur l’environnement de l’entrepreneuriat en Mauritanie en général et pour les femmes en particulierActions en cours dans le cadre des stratégies en vigueur et interventions du secteur privé pour encourager les femmesAppel à la mobilisation des jeunes et des femmes vers l’autonomisation ; meilleure insertion dans le tissu économiqueGrâce aux discussions, partages de connaissances et d’expériences nous avons sûrement insuffler de la détermination et de la motivation aux jeunes étudiants. Cet évènement s’est terminé avec une ouverture pour les opportunités à venir et une mise en relation entre les groupes thématiques de l’observatoire et nos interventions.

Enabel contribue au renforcement de l'accès aux services et infrastructures productives en Mauritanie
Aminata KANE | 21/06/2021
Atelier: Référentiel technico-économique pour les infrastructures rurales productives en MauritanieLors d’un atelier de deux jours du 31 Mai au 1 juin à Nouakchott, Enabel, les équipes techniques des ministères concernés et le bureau d’étude belge SHER ingénierie/conseils ont eu des échanges constructifs sur la mise en œuvre d’une capitalisation technique qui permettra aux services techniques du Ministères d'Aménagement Rural de se doter d’un référentiel technico-économique pour les infrastructures rurales productives. Au niveau des infrastructures rurales, les problèmes rencontrés sont : le mauvais choix d’emplacement ; ouvrage jamais utilisé et jamais réparé vu sa non utilité pour les usagersla mauvaise qualité de l’ouvrage ; ouvrage dégradé et réparé par les usagers eux-mêmesL’ouvrage doit correspondre à une utilité technique et économique afin d’assurer sa pérennité. Le problème est attaqué de plusieurs cotés; technique, légale et le transfert de gestion de l’ouvrage à des organisations locales d’usagers. Pour atteindre une capitalisation technique efficiente et durable, SHER un bureau d’étude belge a été mobilisé. Un travail continu et fluide avec les ministères a été établi via une collecte de données et d’expériences. Le tout ensuite élargi au niveau des ONG et programmes/projets. Les structures rencontrées sont de trois types; ministères, ONG, programmes et projets et comme on peut le voir est très large:Ministère du Développement Rural (MDR)Ministère de l'Hydraulique et de l'Assainissement (MHA)Ministère de l'Environnement et du Développement Durable (MEDD)Programmes EU (Programme RIMDIR, Programme RIMRAP, Programme RIMFIL)OSP et ONG (Groupement National des Associations Pastorales, Groupement de Recherche et de Réalisation pour le Développement Rural, GRET, Tenmya, Atica - Agrisahel)Projets (Projet Régional d'Appui au Pastoralisme au Sahel, Projet Promotion Développement des Oasis, Projet de Développement de la Résilience à l'Insécurité Alimentaire et Nutritionnelle au Sahel en Mauritanie, Projet de Développement des Filières Inclusives, Projet Régional d'Appui à l'Initiative pour l'Irrigation au Sahel, Projet de lutte contre la pauvreté dans l'Aftout Sud et le Karakoro-Phase II, Projet de renforcement de la Résilience à l'insécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle au Sahel, Projet National Intégré dans le Secteur de l'Eau en Milieu Rural)L'élaboration du référentiel technico-économique suit un cheminement en quatre étapes:1/ Définition des besoins de la DAR (Direction Aménagement Rural), DFAPP (Direction de Développement des Filières Animales et Pastorales) et cadrage des prestationsEtablissement d’une liste des ouvrages retenus dans le cadre du référentiel Structuration en thématique, fiches et annexes techniques selon 3 dimensions ; technique, sociale et économiqueIntégration de l’approche ingénierie sociale pour éviter les conflits (socio-foncier, socio-économique)2/ Elaboration de 13 fiches et de 4 annexes techniquesCapitalisation d’expérience (rencontres et échanges)Valorisation de l’expérience régionaleRecherche et synthèse bibliographiqueRéflexion sur l’accessibilité à un public d’horizon varié3/ Formation au référentiel et à sa diffusionFormation de "référents-formateurs"4/Elaboration d’un guide d’entretiens des ouvrages Traduction des fiches synthétiques en arabe Intégration des observations et relecture par le RIMDIR Rédaction, impression et diffusionLes fiches sont présentées sous plusieurs thématiques et complétées par des annexes techniques Infrastructures de mobilisation et de stockage d'eau de surface Aménagements hydro-agricolesInfrastructures de désenclavementAménagements antiérosifsAménagements pastorauxAnnexes techniques; pompage solaire, clôtures, chéneaux de transfert et magasins de stockage fraisLes aspects socio-fonciers des fiches de diagnostic sont gérés par le RIMDIR. Une analyse de préfaisabilité de 10 critères est établies, voir si les conditions sont réunis pour les investissements ou non. Différents caractéristiques pour orienter les décisions de l'état, selon la rentabilité. Le but du référentiel technico-économique est d’avoir des documents de bonne qualité sur le sujet des infrastructures rurales. Ensuite de former les services de l’état, les bureaux d’étude et les universités, exemple de l'ISET institut de Rosso en ingénierie rural pour une diffusion efficace des outils. Des fiches d'entretien pour les associations d'usagers et un guide pour les comités villageois sera traduit dans les 4 langues locales. Pour conclure, la finalité est d'assurer l’utilité des ouvrage dans le contexte social et économique. Former les prestataires des ouvrages ici l'état, les bureaux d'étude, ONG pour assurer une meilleure qualité des ouvrages et rentabilité sur long terme.

International Women's Day 2021
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
As recently reiterated by our Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation, Meryame Kitir, “Women and girls are drivers of change for development, and they should be encouraged in their leadership aspirations.”Last year has been incredibly difficult for everyone. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected health, economies, labour markets, and worldwide and almost every aspect of our lives. For women, the pandemic has been particularly challenging. Women were at the forefront of the pandemic response. However, despite COVID-19’s massive disruption to all spheres of lives, the pandemic has also shed light on an important opening to rethink women’s roles as role models in their community.Enabel joined the global celebration of International Women's Day with the theme “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world” and the tremendous efforts by women and girls in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Team Belgium (Enabel Palestine and the Consulate-General of Belgium in Jerusalem) took this opportunity to put inspirational women and their male allies in the spotlight and share their story.Women in Leadership - YouTubeOn March 10th we held a round-table discussion on women leadership and positive masculinities in Palestine.

A Skills Development Fund - governance and financing of the TVET system
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
Under the first result of the Skilled Young Palestine (SYP) Project, Skills Development Funds (SDF) will be developed and implemented to contribute to the establishment of an institutional framework for skills development funding and governance in Palestine, whereby the set-up will mirror the future TVET commission. The SDF will serve as a flexible financing mechanism to stimulate bottom-up initiatives and partnerships between training institutions (public or private not-for-profit training providers) and the private sector, as well as social partners, in order to provide flexible, qualitative and demand-driven, i.e. labour market relevant, training and to facilitate the transition from the world of school (training institutions) to the world of work.A coaching trajectory to facilitate the set-up and the implementation of the SDF has started in 2020 and brought all stakeholders around the table to define the roles and responsibilities and set up a mechanism for social dialogue. The results of these round table discussions will result in a hands-on blueprint (with manual) that can be used by interested parties to facilitate the organisation and financing of skills development. The first results of the pilot that is taking place will feed into this manual.

Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
In February, SAWA project and partners (Bayader and Woman's Affairs Centre) have successfully implemented 56 sensitization sessions for women and youth. The first group of sessions were organized in the most vulnerable communities in the Gaza strip. The focus of the session was to encourage the communities to apply for financial and non-financial services in the frame of sustainable livelihood opportunities. More than 1200 women and youth attended the sensitization sessions that were facilitated by SAWA team and implementing partners. SAWA received a total of 24,950 applications.The second group of the sensitization sessions was a preparatory step before conducting the Go-green Hackathon. SAWA team and the Palestinian Federation of Industries (PFI) conducted 8 sessions with universities and technical colleges. The sessions presented and disseminated the key challenges of the green and circular economy within the industrial sector. During the sessions, 300 youth (120 Male, 180 Female) have gained a better understanding of the green challenges, which will serve as a starting point for solution and idea generation to compete in the hackathon. SAWA received a total of 395 applications with ideas to participate in the hackathon. The Go-Green hackathon will take place at the beginning of April. It will be the first Hackathon in Palestine that deals with green and circular economy challenges within the industrial sector.

RiSE project finalized rehabilitation works in 3 schools
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
In Al-Hasan Al-Thany school, Wadi Al-Joz, the space for a Fablab with an external working area was created. In this Fablab the students will receive technological, innovative, and creative training where they can further develop their 21st Century skills.In Al-Rawdah Al-Haditha, the only public school located in Zaayem suburb, a school extension was built to create 6 much-needed additional classrooms and a counselor room. Until now, the school was mixed only up to 8th grade and girls-only upwards, leaving teenage boys with no option to complete their education locally and leading to a high school drop-out. The new extension will allow them to complete their curriculum from kindergarten to grade 12 within the same school.In Jabal Al-Mukabber a kindergarten unit was created. With an education in East Jerusalem under constant pressure and ever-increasing threat, offering free early childhood education within Palestinian public schools is a key element to ensure the freedom of choice to follow one’s curriculum and narrative from the start. The whole school, together with 9 extra schools selected for the RiSE project, will be further rehabilitated in 2021.

Rehabilitation, transformation and extension works in three Waqf schools in Jerusalem and Zaayem
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
For the Resilience in Schools of East Jerusalem (RiSE) project, and notwithstanding the current Covid-19 crisis, Enabel is implementing rehabilitation, transformation and extension works in three Waqf schools in Jerusalem and Zaayem this summer 2020. These works, funded by the European Union and Belgium, will allow the creation of a kindergarten, a FabLab and additional classrooms. The creation of a kindergarten is highly needed since there are not sufficient Waqf kindergartens in Jerusalem.In Zaayem there are no public secondary schools for boys. Additional classrooms will be built on top of the only existing school, so that teenage boys don't need to cross a checkpoint anymore to reach their schools.In Wadi al-Joz the first FabLab will be installed, making it our pilot for their creation in other schools. FabLabs are digital fabrication laboratories where you can innovate and develop almost anything by using advanced technology and 21st-century skills. The installed FabLabs will be accessible for multiple schools making it a creative space for young students to collaborate and create.

Inception phase for Skilled Young Palestine (SYP)
Roula HANDAL | 10/06/2021
The project Skilled Young Palestine officially started in the beginning of 2020. During the inception phase, two studies were conducted in order to better target the intervention. Meta-analysis of the labour market in Palestine The study provides insight in the needs of the labour market in Palestine, by giving an overview of sectors, trades and corresponding demand for vocational and 21st century skills, that hold potential for (self-)employment for youth in Palestine. The study shows the effect of the challenging political situation and Covid-19. They have an unmistakable impact on the economic situation in Palestine, and on the needs of the private sector. Are you interested in the findings? Contact us to receive the report. Mapping of the innovation eco-system in Palestine The report reviews the eco-system of innovation hubs in Palestine, by providing data on existing hubs (type, services, facilities etc.), and analysing their quality and effectiveness. The findings of the study will be used to decide how to fill the void and skills gap regarding innovation and 21st century skills in Palestine. The study shows that there is a need to invest in remote areas, so to have a better outreach to vulnerable youth. Do you want to find out more? Contact us to receive the report.

Rural electrification in Mozambique: how to find the right villages?
Akila MUNIR | 03/06/2021
By: Antoine DE CLIPPELE & Riccardo DEL CITTOMozambique has abundant resources for generating clean, accessible and sustainable energy. In 2011, the United Nations launched the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative to ensure universal access by 2030 to modern energy services, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency, and double the share of renewable energy in the global mix. Although a wide range of socio-economic and environmental arguments are in favour of renewable energy systems, political and legal, technical and financial barriers generally persist. The electricity access in Mozambique in 2018 was estimated at 31.1%. In rural areas, however, this rate drops to 8.0% (World Bank[1]). Meanwhile, in November 2018, the Government of Mozambique launched the National Energy for All Programme to advance the country towards achieving energy access by 2030. The programme prioritises grid expansion and densification but also considers the role of off-grid, renewable energy-based solutions, especially in remote areas. Providing electricity to everyone in Mozambique requires considerable investments. Experience in Mozambique so far shows that the high number of stakeholders in the energy sector, their different interests and lack of coordination increases the risk of duplicating efforts and waste resources. A systematic and objective approach will facilitate coordination in off-grid energy planning. One of the tools available for planning is remote sensing. This allows us to systematically evaluate all the sites for off-grid electrification and determine which locations have the highest potential based on defined criteria and priorities. General planning based on estimates of population size and distribution, electrified areas, location of the national grid and socio-economic data will help prioritise the villages for electrification and determine which delivery technology should be used. Mozambique however faces the same data availability issues as many other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Very often, population data or national grid data are not available. This information does not exist or is not available due to the lack of collaboration between the different stakeholders. FUNAE, the National Energy Fund, is particularly concerned about this issue. Indeed, together with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MIREME) and the Mozambican Electricity Company (EDM), these institutions need coordination to avoid duplication of effort in the field of electrification. While EDM works on the expansion and densification of the national grid, FUNAE is mandated to electrify the remote(r) areas with off-grid technologies. This, of course means knowing each other's presence in the national territory to avoid working in the same areas. FUNAE has so far been able to identify the most promising off-grid electrification sites due to its widespread presence at the provincial level. The standard approach involves intensive fieldwork, with constant deployment from delegation offices and from headquarters in the capital. However the risk remains that this approach does not take into account places that are more isolated and less well known by FUNAE and its partners. In 2020, this approach was further hampered by travel restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Through its Renewable Energy for Rural Development Phase II (RERDII) project, Enabel (the Belgian Development Agency), as a partner of FUNAE, proposed, among other solutions, the use of innovative geospatial technologies (GIS) to solve the problem of data availability. After analysing the best practices in other countries, a method was developed internally. The method addresses data scarcity by combining largely openly available data with the existing data in the institution. The idea behind the proposed method is simple: Firstly, we identify the location of population and the existing and planned national electrical grid. This will allow us to filter the villages with large and dense populations so far from the grid that they are unlikely to be connected to the national grid in the foreseeable future. For FUNAE, these two criteria (location of settlements and the national grid) are strategic. After mapping these as accurately as possible, it is still possible to complete the analysis by cross-referencing with other information, such as the location of schools and health centers, distance to major cities, population growth, household income, economic potential and potential productive uses of electricity. Both for the population and the electrical grid, only incomplete and outdated data is currently available in Mozambique. In order to approximate this data and carry out our analysis, we will therefore use alternative approaches. For population data, there are several open data initiatives to estimate the population of countries based on available census data, satellite images, statistical models, built-up areas… These initiatives provide population estimates with a resolution of 100m. This resolution is high enough to identify villages. The joint work in this area between the RERD2 project and the FUNAE Department of Research and Planning made use of GRID3[2]. As far as the data of the national grid is concerned, the lack of data can be compensated by remote sensing and satellite images. Based on night light and population data, we used the Gridfinder[3] model to determine the most probable path of the power lines. We then combined the modelled lines with the available data. By strengthening our cooperation with EDM, the national electricity company, we added the planned power lines to the map.Even though both datasets remain estimates, it is a significant improvement from the situation as it was. It can already be used as a starting point for planning the priority villages for off-grid electrification. After combining all this information, we can draw up a shortlist of villages and, thanks to the FUNAE delegation in each province, contact the local authorities of these places or villages. For the more promising villages, telephone surveys can be conducted to collect more information. Eventually, if the village seems to have sufficient potential, a site mission can be organised to confirm the information and prepare the next steps for electrification.During the application of the methodology conducted recently in two provinces, 14 sites were selected from an initial list of 53 submitted by the provincial FUNAE delegations while 13 new locations were identified that were not included in FUNAE's rural electrification plans. Data collection is now underway through telephone interviews on all priority sites. The potential of the most interesting villages will be verified through field surveys.Ultimately, the methodology described above leads not only to a systematic approach to rural electrification planning, but also to a reduction in the number of on-site missions. Indeed, these missions are resource-intensive and can have a significant impact on the availability of technicians for other tasks. Moreover, working through this method with the different stakeholders has also made it possible to address the issue of collaboration between the different institutions. Although there is still work to be done in this area, working on this method was an important step in raising awareness of the importance of enhanced collaboration in the energy sector.
