Low-carbon Agriculture for avoided deforestation and poverty reduction Phase II (Rural Sustentavel)
Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs
As a follow-up phase to a similar ICF intervention in Brazil, Rural Sustentável aims to promote low-carbon agriculture (LCA) on small and medium-scale farms to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through avoided deforestation, enhance producers’ income and quality of life, increase the adoption of sustainable practices, and foster policy replications in Brazil and abroad. The programme operates through three distinct projects in separate Brazilian biomes: PRS Amazon, PRS Cerrado, and PRS Caatinga. Each project has its own budget, implementing agency, timelines, and activities but despite their differences, all three projects share a common theory of change: by providing small- and medium-scale farmers and landowners with alternative methods of production and income generation, the rate of deforestation can be significantly reduced.
Fleming Fund - Contribution to the International Reference Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
The Fleming Fund contribution to a UK draw-down service for technical assistance, training and quality assurance for low and middle income countries to support antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance system building across all one-health sectors. The objectives of the reference centre are to: 1. Develop capacity of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) for surveillance of AMR and antimicrobial use (AMU) through residential AMR training workshops, country visits to partners to offer training, provision of proficiency testing schemes; 2. Strengthen governance related to AMU and AMR by providing expert advice on new or emerging resistances that present a threat to animal or public health, providing expert advice on how to bench-mark capability and the authorisation of antibiotics and providing verification testing at our UK laboratories; 3. Promote good agricultural practices and prudent use of antimicrobials by providing advice and support for the adaptation and implementation of alternatives to antibiotics; and 4. Raise awareness of AMR by publishing and contributing to expert reports and peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts. Projects funded through the Fleming Fund will benefit people in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of drug resistant infection is greater
Fleming Fund - Contribution to the International Reference Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid programme from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s Fleming Fund.

Projects funded through the Fleming Fund will benefit people in LMICs, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater. (*One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.)

Climate Investment Fund for Pakistan (CIFPAK)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
CIFPAK will mobilise private climate finance to support Pakistan’s green growth and climate resilience ambitions. Currently the 8th most climate vulnerable country in the world, the World Bank estimates that Pakistan will require US$348 billion of investment to become climate resilient and make the transition to a low-carbon economy by 2030. CIFPAK aims to crowd in private climate finance using a blended finance approach (public/private, concessional/non-concessional), supported by targeted technical assistance. It will have a specific focus on mobilising private investment for climate adaptation. The programme will support delivery of Pakistan’s National Adaptation Plan and also aims to deepen Pakistan’s capital markets. Programme’s approved budget is £108m (£70m fiscal CDEL and £38m RDEL) over seven years (April 2024 – March 2031).
Investments in Forests and Sustainable Land Use - Phase 2

The Evidence Fund - 300708
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The Evidence Fund procures and manages research and evaluations that primarily benefit ODA eligible countries. Most research and evaluations paid for by the Evidence Fund are country-specific, and all respond to requests for evidence to inform programme or policy decisions. Primarily serving research requests from HMG’s Embassies and High Commissions in ODA eligible countries, and from HMG policy and strategy teams, the Evidence Fund strengthens the evidence behind the UK’s priority international development investments and development diplomacy. The Evidence Fund also invests modest amounts of non-ODA, to strengthen the evidence behind wider UK foreign policy.
Productivity for Prosperity (P4P)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Productivity for Prosperity is a sustainable economic transformation programme that will increase labour productivity and climate-resilience in Tanzania’s job-creating sectors. It will achieve this through private sector development (investment facilitation, trade facilitation and building capabilities of firms) and business environment reform (supporting proportionate and predictable regulation). P4P will dovetail with the UK’s external engagement and influencing activities in Tanzania. P4P will initially prioritise the agroprocessing and horticulture sectors, and will provide flexible support to bolster the UK’s current and future prosperity objectives.

Supporting Environmentally-friendly Mineral Extraction and Sustainable Trade in Agriculture (SEMESTA)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Indonesia is making efforts to decouple commodity production from deforestation, most successfully in the timber sector with its timber legality system (SVLK). A similar approach is in train with Indonesia’s palm oil standard, Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO). Learning from the timber experience, the programme will support Indonesia’s sustainable commodities production, including for exports to the UK. SEMESTA will address concerns that undermine sustainability, including upgrading ISPO by establishing a licensing unit and supporting the merger of regulations and to establish national system for other strategic commodities, including nickel. The programme will also support further necessary strengthening of SVLK, including on geolocation.
