Introducing Our New Speaker and Co-Speaker of Transport Working Group!
Trang Truong - Speaker
Trang is a Senior Project Officer with GIZ Vietnam, where she is in charge of climate change projects with focus on transport and industry. She has been active in various working group activities, has worked with both IKI and BMZ projects, and has co-led the Private Sector Cooperation WG for GIZ VN.
René Freytag – Co-Speaker
René heads the IKI Interface in the Philippines as well as GIZ’s in-country transport activities. He has strong roots in the climate change field and is an avid cyclist.
HIGHLIGHTS AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING
A knowledge exchange opportunity concluded with a trip to the neighboring Guimaras Island to learn best practices from the implementation sites.
Acknowledging the efforts, individual households receive awards for contributing to a cleaner environment and encouraging others to join the plastic-free Tonle Sap movement.
The district administration cooperated with the GIZ’s ISD Programme to issue the Deika of waste collection fee and solid waste management.
Vietnam is a global leader in aquaculture production and export, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in food production worldwide. Within this sector, shrimp farming stands out as a strategic economic pillar.
Districts and Municipalities in Cambodia develop local waste management plans in a participatory manner with involvement of sub-committees
Indonesia’s waste battle finds a potent ally: its women. Despite barriers, ERiC -DKTI project taps into their potential, driving grassroot change for a sustainable future.
Like a map drawn on sand, vital waste information gets washed away by institutional silos, inconsistent methodologies, standard and format. This lack of clarity leaves us a drift in a sea of uncertainty.
Not the glittering coin in the pocket, but the invisible river of funds coursing through the city’s veins. Nowhere in Indonesia is its flow more crucial than in the unseen battle against waste problems.
DOCUMENTS AND PUBLICATIONS
Many projects and organisations focus on both the development of rural areas and on promoting employment opportunities in the agri-food sector. For the colleagues it can be challenging to locate and identify resources and tools that are best suited for their specific tasks at hand. That’s where the new Toolbox for Rural Youth Employment (RYE) Promotion comes in handy. The toolbox not only outlines over 70 existing tools and how to use them. It also includes concrete project examples showing how these tools can be adapted and replicated.
Key buzzwords
