#PostOfTheWeek BLOG: The transnational wildlife trafficking circuit is valued at $23 billion per year globally and the Amazon in Peru is one of the main sources of supply. Limited in terms of capacity and resources, Peruvian authorities lack the tools to address illegal trafficking effectively, which requires tackling the entire chain—not focusing solely on intermediaries or final sellers. From 2019 to 2024, DAI led a USAID initiative working with Peru’s government, civil society, and private sector to turn the tide against trafficking and other threats to biodiversity. Our new blog by Kjeld Nielsen looks at what the project has achieved https://buff.ly/3X21U5L. #WildlifeTrafficking #Amazon #wildlifecrime Kjeld Nielsen Shannon Vasamsetti Noah Vetter Jette Findsen

One of The Scottish Government funded Climate Just Communities: Malawi project goals is to provide safe and clean water to 7 Districts in the country. Following an assessment of 96 water points across Chikwawa District, the project team found that 26 were contaminated and unsafe for consumption due to frequent flooding in the area over the last 5 years. Our project partner, Water Witness Malawi, in collaboration with the District Water Office and Area Mechanics, employed a shock chlorination process - a disinfection treatment recommended when a drinking water system has been contaminated. As a result, 25 boreholes now provide safe, drinkable water for approximately 1,750 households (9,625 people) in the area.

Public financial management (PFM) reforms face challenges due to insufficient skills and limited civic engagement, which hinder public participation. Additionally, modernizing information systems is crucial for improving efficiency and transparency in PFM. To address these challenges, DAI is implementing the #EuropeanUnion’s Technical Assistance component of the Public Accountability and Service Delivery (#PASEDE) program. This initiative supports the National Treasury’s Public Finance Management Reform Secretariat in executing the PFM Reform Strategy 2018-2023. Our team has re-engineered e-government procurement business processes #eGP, developed Public Investment Management #PIM sector manuals for education, health, and roads, and established a Knowledge Management System #KMS to enhance knowledge retention and transfer. The Technical Assistance component has been extended to support the rollout of the new #PFMR Strategy for 2023-2028. In this video, our expert Samvel Markosyan shares insights and lessons learned during the project’s implementation.

Since 1999, #Nigeria has made some #electoral progress, particularly in 2011 and 2015, but the 2023 elections revealed ongoing challenges, especially with the IReV portal, which affected public confidence in the electoral process. The European Union Support to Democratic Governance in Nigeria (EU-SDGN) is the EU's flagship democracy support program in Nigeria. This program is designed to complement the Nigerian government's efforts to improve and strengthen democracy. https://bit.ly/4fZzyC2 DAI is implementing Component 1 of the EU-SDGN Programme, aimed at supporting Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The key objectives are to enhance INEC's operational efficiency, increase voter engagement, and integrate new technologies into the electoral process. 📖 Read the latest progress report from our team to learn more about the tech innovations, capacity-building initiatives, and communication efforts that are enhancing the electoral process in Nigeria. #EU I European Union Delegation to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and ECOWAS I #EUSDGN I Rudi Elbling I Pokani Musa MBA, FCCA, BAcc, CPA (M) I Denis Mutabazi I Sinisa Djuric

It was a proud moment for the startup teams as we met with His Excellency Mohamad Al Amour, Minister of National Economy, to showcase the progress of Palestinian startups supported by IPSD programs, alongside the vital roles of MoNE, the World Bank, the EU, and our DAI team. Eight startups and innovative SMEs presented their products and business models. With the right support, they are transforming industries and driving impact across Palestine. Their success stories highlight how these startups are fostering innovation, registering companies, creating jobs, attracting investments, expanding regionally, and generating revenue. 🤝 Together, we’re empowering the next generation of Palestinian innovators. كجزء من التزامنا المستمر بدعم الشركات الناشئة الفلسطينية والشركات الصغيرة والمتوسطة، التقى فريق مشروع دعم ابتكارات القطاع الخاص مع وزير الاقتصاد الوطني محمد العامور، لعرض الشركات الناشئة التي استفادت من برامجنا.
