What we do
IDRC funds research in developing countries to create lasting change on a large scale.
To make knowledge a tool for addressing pressing challenges, we
- provide developing-country researchers financial resources, advice, and training to help them find solutions to local problems.
- encourage knowledge sharing with policymakers, researchers, and communities around the world.
- foster new talent by offering fellowships and awards.
- strive to get new knowledge into the hands of those who can use it.

The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) seeks to strengthen the operational and institutional capacity of its departments. This strengthened support targets increasing the resilience of small ruminant livestock herders in the Area C of the southern West Bank (Hebron governorate) by boosting the production and productivity of the sheep and goat populations. Targeted interventions are in the fields of breeding, feeding and animal health service provision. The equipment and material listed in this supplies tender were identified with support from the technical assistance services, with strong involvement of the following central and decentralised directorates of MoA: the General Directorate (GD) of Extension and Rural Development, GD Veterinary Services, GD National Agricultural Research Station (NARC) and their departments: Ruminant, Field Crops, Range Land Management, as well as the breeding stations in Beit Qad and As Samua, the central veterinary laboratory, and the Palestinian Centre for Livestock Improvement (PCLI).
Klimaatportefeuille - luik Senegal
General
Thematische portefeuille met als algemene doelstelling het geïntegreerde beheer van de natuurlijke rijkdommen verbeteren en de natuurlijke ecosystemen van de Sahel duurzaam herstellen in de strijd tegen de verwoestijning en de negatieve gevolgen van de klimaatverandering, en zo de weerbaarheid van de bevolking van de Sahel die in kwetsbare omstandigheden leeft, versterken Le Portefeuille Thématique Climat Sahel (PTCS) est construit autour d’une logique d’intervention partagée par l’ensemble de ses volets nationaux (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger et Sénégal). Tous se partagent le même Objectif Global et les mêmes Objectifs Spécifiques. Au sein des volets pays, la structure de Résultats (en ligne avec les Piliers de la Grande Muraille Verte) est également identique, ceci afin de renforcer la cohérence, l’apprentissage et l’impact de ce portefeuille. Une partie des défis à relever pour permettre de lutte contre la désertification et le changement climatique au Sahel sont également structurels : l’insuffisance de coordination et d’échange de l’information, le manque d’intégration intersectorielle des actions de lutte contre le changement climatique, la faiblesse des structures et des processus de mise en œuvre, la difficulté d’accéder à des financements climat et la faible gouvernance en matière d’aménagement du territoire et de foncier. De plus, le suivi et la mise en œuvre des initiatives et des engagements internationaux tel que la CNCNUCC et CNULCD, l’Initiative de la GMV et de lutte contre l’insécurité (G5 Sahel) représentent également un goulot d’étranglement majeur au niveau national car les normes de suivi et de vérification sont exigeantes pour des institutions gouvernementales parfois faibles en équipement et en personnel qualifié. Afin de répondre aux défis et limiter ces impacts, des réponses appropriées et intégrées couvrant les aspects d’adaptation et d’atténuation mais aussi ceux de gestion responsable et durable des ressources naturelles et de la biodiversité au sens large sont apportées, tout en renforçant la résilience sociale, économique, sécuritaire et environnementale des populations. Cela implique d’agir sur un vaste éventail de domaines de changements, certains de nature technique comme les pratiques agroécologiques, la gestion intégrée des ressources en eau ou la restauration des écosystèmes, d’autres plus orientés sur des facteurs humains, comme par exemple l’implication des communautés locales (notamment les femmes et les groupes vulnérables ou marginalisés), la promotion d’une gouvernance inclusive des ressources naturelles et la dynamisation d’un dialogue entre différents niveaux et natures d’acteurs.
