(CONTINUED FROM FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE, LINE 4A) Agricultural Growth Program - Livestock Growth Project (LGP) - Ethiopia - Improve smallholder incomes and nutritional status through investments in selected livestock value chains to generate increased productivity and competitiveness of these value chains. Resilience and Economic Growth in the Arid Lands - Accelerating Growth (REGAL-AG) - Kenya - Foster an inclusive livestock value chain that increases pastoralists' resilience and stimulates economic growth by assisting households that are moving away or stepping out from pastoralism in becoming input and service providers. Victory Against Malnutrition (VIM) - Burkina Faso - Reducing chronic malnutrition among children under five years of age and pregnant and lactating mothers; increasing and diversifying household incomes; and strengthening and diversifying agricultural production and productivity. Enhancing Nutrition, Stepping Up Resiliency and Enterprise (ENSURE) - Zimbabwe - responds to food insecurity in Zimbabwe and addresses many of the underlying causes of chronic food insecurity by improving knowledge, capacity, and links to produce food and generate income, maintain and optimally use assets, and facilitate household savings primarily for women and children in subsistence farming communities. ENSURE program interventions are organized around three important themes: maternal and child health, agriculture and economic development, and resilience while focusing on the cross cutting objective of promoting gender equity in nutrition and agriculture. Integrated Rural Program to Improve Nutrition in Mali (PNH) - aims to improve nutrition in five /health districts in the Sikasso Region in Mali by focusing on social and behavioral change and community mobilization. PNH will implement activities to promote optimal nutrition and hygiene behaviors and practices, increase the production and consumption of nutrient rich-foods among targeted populations, and heighten the capacity of health facilities and frontline health workers to identify and treat acutely malnourished pregnant and lactating women and children. The Cooperatives for Change (C4C): Value Chain Approach for Cooperative Development - Ethiopia - aims to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers' households by strengthening the technical and managerial capacities of agricultural cooperatives in Ethiopia. The project will address obstacles of Ethiopia's agriculture sector's poor infrastructure, fractured agricultural value chains, limited access to credit, and lack of coordination between farmers' households, distributors and buyers. The project will provide smallholder farmers' households with a more stable and profitable market for crops and strengthen their enabling environment and business arrangements by increasing capacity of agricultural cooperative unions and their member cooperatives. Inclusive Business Model - Private Oil Operators - Uganda - to establish an Inclusive Business (IB) Hub in the Nebbi and Nwoya districts of Uganda, which will facilitate cooperation and engagement between local community members (particularly farmers and other economically disadvantaged members) and private sector companies in their areas. The goal of the project is to empower the Nebbi and Nwoya communities and to optimize local supply of their services and products to incoming private oil operators in adherence with a "local content" policy. Through opportunities such as catering and camp management, up to 5,000 local households in these rural communities may experience increased employability and overall improved economic conditions for the community.

The Demonstration of pro-poor market based solutions for fecal sludge management - Bangladesh - in urban centers of Southern Bangladesh (FSM) project is directed towards improving the living environment, and health and well-being of the low-income urban population in Bangladesh by contributing to a change in the way in which human waste is managed. The project intends on demonstrating financially viable and sustainable fecal sludge management solutions using a pro-poor market-based approach.

Vietnam Clean Energy Program (VCEP) targets opportunities for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) in Vietnam's energy sector by increasing widespread adoption of energy efficiency and demand-side management measures for reducing demand for energy, and investment in renewables. VCEP aims to increase capacity of GoV institutions to adopt clean energy policies and programs, increase energy efficiency in high energy-use sectors and increase public and private investment in piloting of renewable energy technologies. The Technical Advisory Package for Biogas Program in Vietnam aims to develop a commercially viable biogas sector in Vietnam that improves the livelihood and quality of life of rural farmers by capitalizing on the economic and non-economic benefits of biogas. The project already trained over 1400 micro biogas enterprises and delivered clean energy benefits to over 1 million people in Vietnam. The Improved Cook Stove (ICS) Program in Lao PDR builds off an ICS market feasibility study SNV developed which confirmed the commercial viability of the ICS value chain and market in Lao PDR. The project aims to increase the capacity of a local NGO, the Association for Rural Mobilization and Improvement (ARMI), to self-manage the production of high quality cook stoves, ensuring effective marketing strategies for retailers and fully-informed consumers. SNV will facilitate the production of cook stoves, improving health and providing financial benefits with an expected result of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The Integrating Payment for Environmental Services (PES) and REDD+ Project in Bhutan aims to develop and operationalize PES demonstration models that will contribute to the development of an informed PES policy framework that is fully integrated with the comprehensive Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program.
