ICCO COOPERATION

ICCO Cooperation is a global, non-governmental organization. We work towards a world in which people can live in dignity and well-being, a world without poverty and injustice. Founded over 60 years ago, the organization envisions a world where people are empowered to build sustainable livelihoods within a society that upholds their rights. Its mission is to strengthen sustainable agricultural systems and realize resilient communities, with a special focus on women and youth. It has been actively engaging in development efforts in over 40 countries in the world. In Ethiopia, ICCO Cooperation involves in development initiatives that support smallholder farmers, poor and marginalized communities, as well as producer organizations in various value chains. ICCO Cooperation is the lead implementer of the RESET Plus Innovation Fund program, and its major activities in this program include . . . .

innovation4resilience.org 3 Picture: Pastoralists in search of feed and water, Afar - ICRITAS STATUS AND PROGRESS In 2019, the RESET Plus Innovation Fund for Resilience was launched in Zoma Museum, Addis Ababa. The Innovation Fund Team was delighted to have welcomed so many interested people. It marked a great beginning of the program and with full energy and excitement, the Innovation Fund Team went ahead with its goal to promote innovations for resilience. With high spirits and great momentum gained from the launching event, various innovators submitted a total of 119 concept notes for ICCO to review. We would have liked to see many of the ideas to be materialized, but we had to make a selection of ideas which we would like to learn more about. This resulted in the shortlisting of 56 concept notes and we asked its writers to further develop their ideas into a full proposal. We were very pleased to have received 56 well- written innovative ideas in April 2020. In that same month, the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe and everyone had to find out how to deal with the new realities that came with it. We had to rethink how we could do our office work, how we could visit beneficiaries and how we should design our future activities to support the people in need. This resulted in delays of the Innovation Fund’s timeline, but now, at the end of 2020, the final selected innovations are about to start their implementation. One year after the launch we will continue the project with 13 great ideas that we shall support in developing sustainable solutions for resilience building. The coming two years, the partners, together with the Innovation Fund team, will pioneer social innovations and demonstrate what works and what does not work. All these valuable lessons learned, knowledge accrued, and skills gained, shall be disseminated to all stakeholders with which we aim for uptake of the innovations beyond the implementation areas of these pilot innovations. The 13 projects will be implemented for two years, with the goal to address some of the most persisting problems around vulnerability, faced by many in the rural parts of Ethiopia. By means of this catalogue, we are proud to present you the partner innovators and their projects in this Innovation Fund.
