The general objective of PAS is in line with SDG 2 of the 2030 Agenda, and more specifically with target 2.1 (“By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round“), proposing to intervene on the possibility of access to food through the structural improvement of the food production system at local level, via the promotion of the effective use of natural and material resources, process and technological innovation, and circular economy. The specific objective, in line with OSS 2.4, is to improve the productiveness of the primary food production systems by reinforcing their climate change adaptation capacity. By making the production systems more resilient and adapted to climate change (climate variability, climate shock, soil exhaustion, water scarcity, etc.), PAS contributes to guarantee the resilience of the primary production. The beneficiaries of the project, i.e. the small farmers and small breeders of the Municipalities of Mutimbuzi (Bujumbura Province), Ruyigi and Nyabitsinda (Ruyigi Province) and Bukemba and Rutana (Rutana Province), will see their production capacity maintained and increased, with a significant improvement in access to food and therefore a reduction in food security. Actions on the resilience and resistance of primary productions to climate change also guarantee the sustainability of future use of land and water, and contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing gas emissions from agri-food production plants. In order to support and facilitate the adoption and dissemination of the proposed climate-smart production practices, the structuring of an enabling environment is foreseen by the project, with the creation of mechanisms of public-private collaboration (multi-stakeholder Roundtables) for planning and managing the territorial climate-smart, sustainable and resilient food production systems; the result of the work of the multi-stakeholder Roundtables will be the definition of Territorial strategies on the topic. L’Iniziativa PAS - Politiche Alimentari Sostenibili in Burundi contribuisce ad assicurare l'accesso a un'alimentazione sana, nutriente e sufficiente a tutte le persone residenti in alcuni comuni della Provincia di Bujumbura, di quella di Ruyigi e di quella di Rutana attraverso il rafforzamento dei sistemi locali di produzione alimentare, sia agricoli che di allevamento. L'obiettivo generale di PAS è allineato all'OSS 2 dell'Agenda 2030, e più specificamente al target 2.1 (“Entro il 2030, eliminare la fame e garantire l'accesso di tutti gli esseri umani, in particolare dei poveri e delle persone in situazione di vulnerabilità, inclusi i bambini, a un'alimentazione sana, nutriente e sufficiente tutto l'anno”): il progetto si propone infatti di intervenire sulla possibilità di accesso all'alimentazione attraverso il miglioramento strutturale dei sistemi di produzione alimentare locali, mediante la promozione dell'uso efficace delle risorse naturali e materiali, dell'innovazione dei processi e delle tecnologie, e dell'economia circolare. L'obiettivo specifico, allineato all'OSS 2.4, è il miglioramento della produttività dei sistemi di produzione alimentare primaria attraverso il rafforzamento della loro capacità di adattarsi agli effetti del cambiamento climatico (CC). Rendendo i sistemi di produzione più resilienti e adattati ai mutamenti indotti dal CC (variabilità del clima, shock climatici, esaurimento dei suoli, scarsità d'acqua, ecc.), si contribuisce ad assicurare la resilienza della produttività della produzione primaria. I beneficiari del progetto, cioè i piccoli agricoltori e i piccoli allevatori dei Comuni di Mutimbuzi (Provincia di Bujumbura), di Ruyigi e Nyabitsinda (Provincia di Ruyigi) e di Bukemba e Rutana (Provincia di Rutana), vedranno la loro capacità produttiva mantenuta e aumentata, con un significativo miglioramento del loro accesso all'alimentazione e, di conseguenza, una diminuzione dell'insicurezza alimentare. Le azioni sulla resilienza e la resistenza al CC della produzione primaria garantiscono anche la sostenibilità dell'uso futuro delle terre e dell'acqua e contribuiscono alla mitigazione degli effetti del CC, riducendo le emissioni di gas serra provenienti dalla produzione agroalimentare. Per supportare e facilitare l’effettiva adozione e diffusione delle conoscenze e delle pratiche proposte agli allevatori e agricoltori, PAS prevede la strutturazione di un enabling environment grazie alla definizione di meccanismi strutturati di collaborazione pubblico-privata (Tavoli di Condivisione multistakeholder) per la pianificazione e gestione integrate di sistemi territoriali di produzione alimentare climate-smart, sostenibili e resilienti, che abbiano come risultato la definizione di Strategie territoriali sul tema.

The shared commitment aims at strengthening the local agri-food sector to promote employment, food security and the capacity of the Municipality of Bujumbura for socio-economic development and the valorisation of its territory. Thanks to the agri-food vocation of the territory of Parma (Unesco Creative City for Gastronomy), the project’s goal is to promote a supply chain approach for the cultivation of tomatoes and to establish a product transformation consortium. To this aim, the Municipality of Parma has involved significant institutions (CNR National Research Council, CNA), the University of Parma (Department of Food Sciences) and technical partners (Azienda Agraria Sperimentale Stuard) with recognized expertise in transferring know-how along the tomato supply chain which is recognised worldwide as an Italian excellence. Il partenariato territoriale tra Parma e Bujumbura è stato presentato nel marzo 2019 alla presenza della rappresentanza diplomatica italiana e delle istituzioni locali, con l’impegno di rafforzare il settore agroalimentare per favorire occupazione e sicurezza alimentare e le capacità del Municipio di Bujumbura per lo sviluppo socio-economico e la valorizzazione del territorio. Grazie alla vocazione agroalimentare del territorio di Parma (città Creativa Unesco per la Gastronomia) si vuole promuovere un approccio di filiera alla coltivazione del pomodoro e la costituzione di un consorzio di trasformazione del prodotto. A tale scopo il Comune di Parma ha coinvolto significative istituzioni (CNR Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, CNA ), Università di Parma (Dipartimento di Scienze degli alimenti) ed enti del territorio (Azienda agraria sperimentale Stuard) con riconosciute competenze tecniche e di analisi per trasferire know how ed esperienza della propria filiera del pomodoro che rappresenta una delle eccellenze italiane a livello mondiale.

In particular, it aims at strengthening the resilience of rural populations to food and environmental crises in the villages, hills and municipalities of Kirundo Province. To this end, it proposes a holistic and integrated approach of intervention on three levels corresponding to different geographical extensions, to strengthen existing socio-economic development models and to better respond to the needs of families, cooperatives and MSMEs in the agri-food sector (agriculture, livestock and fishery). In particular, at the level of the family (municipality of Busoni) the initiative intervenes on the change of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP approach) of families to support nutritional self-consumption, so that they can ensure adequate food needs in a healthier environment, through a Community approach that promotes solidarity and social cohesion (Result 1). At the level of cooperatives in the agri-food sector (Kirundo Province), managerial, productive and financial capacities are strengthened to contribute to the professionalisation and improvement of productive capital, so as to better adapt to the challenges of climate change, including through the provision of innovative and climate-smart solutions (Result 2). Finally, at the level of the private sector (Kirundo Province and neighbouring areas), the managerial, technical and financial capacities of MSMEs providing processing/conservation/distribution and marketing services for the agri-food sector, are strengthened so as to increase the availability of food with nutritional and hygienic-sanitary qualities for the benefit of the target population, also through the provision of technical innovative solutions (Result 3).Particular Allegato 2_Modello Documento Unico di Progetto_DUP_Bando Promossi 2023 8 attention is given to children <5 years of age particularly affected by chronic malnutrition, which will be monitored to measure the impact of the initiative on food security in the target territory, and to women and young people, who make up 50% of the beneficiaries of the initiative. ICU is the lead applicant, responsible for coordinating the entire initiative with direct responsibility for productive capacity building activities and for innovative technical and climate smart equipment provision; UCBM offers its know-how in nutrition and hygiene in strengthening the knowledge and food hygiene practices of families as well as in nutritional monitoring; AMS brings its expertise on economic development and financial education of families, cooperatives and MSMEs; finally, COPED is responsible for the sustainability of the intervention on the beneficiary families, as well as for the coaching activities aimed at the economic and operational development of cooperatives and MSMEs. The initiative is in line with SDGs: 2 - End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture; 8 - Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all; 12 - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; 6 - Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, and promotes Food security for the rural population and Sustainability along the agri-food chain in the territory of intervention. L’iniziativa DUFUNGURE NEZA, “Mangiamo bene” in lingua kirundi, nasce dalla volontà di ICU e dei partner internazionali Associazione Microfinanza e Sviluppo - AMS e UCBM, e partner locale COPED, di contribuire al raggiungimento della sicurezza alimentare nelle zone rurali nel Nord del Burundi. In particolare, l’iniziativa propone azioni dirette a rafforzare la resilienza delle popolazioni rurali alle crisi alimentari e ambientali nei villaggi, colline e comuni della Provincia di Kirundo. A tal fine, si rafforzano i modelli di sviluppo socio-economico esistenti per meglio rispondere ai bisogni di famiglie, cooperative e micro, piccole e medie imprese (MPMI) del settore agroalimentare (agricolo, zootecnico e ittico), attraverso un approccio olistico e integrato di intervento su tre diversi livelli, a cui corrispondono distinte estensioni geografiche di intervento. In particolare, a livello familiare (comune di Busoni) si interviene sulla modifica di Conoscenze, Attitudini e Pratiche (approccio CAP) rivolte all’autoconsumo nutrizionale delle famiglie, perché esse possano garantirsi il fabbisogno alimentare adeguato in un ambiente più salubre, attraverso un approccio comunitario che promuove la solidarietà e la coesione sociale (Risultato 1). A livello di cooperative del settore agroalimentare (Provincia di Kirundo), si rafforzano le capacità manageriali, produttive e finanziarie, per contribuire alla professionalizzazione e al miglioramento del capitale produttivo e riuscire ad adattarsi alle sfide del cambiamento climatico, anche attraverso l’introduzione di soluzioni innovative e climate-smart (Risultato 2). Infine, a livello del settore privato (Provincia di Kirundo e aree limitrofi), si rafforzano le capacità manageriali, tecniche e di gestione finanziaria delle MPMI che offrono servizi di approvvigionamento, trasformazione, conservazione, distribuzione e commercializzazione di prodotti Allegato 2_Modello Documento Unico di Progetto_DUP_Bando Promossi 2023 7 agroalimentari nel territorio, per accrescere la disponibilità di alimenti con qualità nutrizionali e igienico-sanitarie adeguate per la popolazione target, anche attraverso la dotazione di soluzioni innovative (Risultato 3). Particolare attenzione è dedicata ai bambini <5 anni particolarmente colpiti da malnutrizione cronica, che saranno oggetto di monitoraggio per misurare l’impatto dell’iniziativa sulla sicurezza alimentare nel territorio target, nonché alle donne ed ai giovani che costituiscono il 50% dei beneficiari dell’iniziativa. ICU è l’ente proponente responsabile del coordinamento dell’intera iniziativa con responsabilità diretta sulle attività di capacity building produttivo e delle dotazioni tecniche innovative e climate smart; UCBM offre il suo know how in nutrizione e igiene nel rafforzamento delle conoscenze e pratiche igienico-alimentari delle famiglie, nonché nel monitoraggio nutrizionale; AMS apporta la sua expertise in sviluppo economico e educazione finanziaria di famiglie, cooperative e MPMI; infine COPED è responsabile della sostenibilità dell’accompagnamento delle famiglie beneficiarie, nonché delle attività di coaching per lo sviluppo economico e operativo di cooperative e MPMI. L’iniziativa è in linea con OSS: 2 – Porre fine alla fame, raggiungere la sicurezza alimentare, migliorare la nutrizione e promuovere un'agricoltura sostenibile; 8 - Incentivare una crescita economica, duratura, inclusiva e sostenibile, un'occupazione piena e produttiva ed un lavoro dignitoso per tutti; 12 – Garantire modelli sostenibili di produzione e di consumo; 6 - Garantire a tutti la disponibilità e la gestione sostenibile dell'acqua e dei servizi igienico sanitari, e promuove la Sicurezza alimentare della popolazione rurale e la sostenibilità lungo la filiera agroalimentare nel territorio di intervento.
