Project Examples
SADC Dialogue Facility
The SADC Dialogue Facility will support the process of regional integration within SADC through structured dialogue with key stakeholders on thematic areas of importance to the SADC regional integration agenda. It will work within and strengthen existing mechanisms such as the SADC-ICP Dialogue groups and existing CSO platforms. The project builds on previous successful dialogues with the EU and other cooperating partners.
Landell Mills has been contracted to set-up and manage the SADC Dialogue Facility (SDF) and will work closely with the SADC Secretariat to achieve: strengthened evidence-based and results-oriented policy dialogue; enhanced SADC cooperation and policy dialogue with stakeholders to strengthen regional integration; and strengthened inter-regional peer-to-peer dialogues.
Capacity Building Project for State Authorities in the East of Sudan, under the Regional Development and Protection Programme
This project aims to contribute to creating an evidence-based, innovative, and sustainable development and protection solution for refugees and host communities in Sudan, hence providing alternatives to irregular primary and secondary movement. The specific objectives are to improve the capacity of the State authorities in assessing needs in relation to providing integrated services, and increasing economic and employment opportunities in favour of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and host communities.
The main beneficiary of the project is the State Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning in Kassala and, in particular, the Department for Economic Development Planning.
Support to the Management and Coordination of Development Cooperation in Lesotho
The overall objective of the project of which this contract is part is to contribute to the implementation of Lesotho's national development agenda as embodied in the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2012/13-2016/17 and the Vision 2020. In line with this strategy, the Government of Lesotho has made a commitment to pursuing programmes that aim to achieve inclusive economic growth, poverty reduction and macro-economic stability.
Through this project, Landell Mills will help improve transparency and effectiveness of policy orientation of the budget through strengthened management and coordination of development cooperation.
