Open Market Consultation (OMC) for a future Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) of R&D (research and development) services on the climate adaptation domain using space and EO (Earth Observation)-based information to prevent and mitigate water related crisis challenges to increase climate resilience in Europe – PCP WISE-This Prior Information Notice announces an OMC and provides early information in preparation for a future PCP carried out by the PCP WISE project (Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions for Water Management from Space). This project receives funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement number No. 101182917 and selected under the HORIZON- CL6-2024-GOVERNANCE-01-5, topic: Customisation/pre-operationalisation of prototypes end- user services in the area Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (see EU Funding & Tenders Portal - https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen /opportunities/topic-details/horizon-cl6-2024-governance-01-5), with a budget of €12 million earmarked for the R&D phases during the implementation of the PCP instrument. However, the European Union does not participate as a contracting authority in the procurement. PCP WISE aims to challenge the market to develop innovative solutions (up to TRL8) to improve water management, particularly in the fields of agriculture, urban climate resilience and planning, climate risk management and resilience to water-related natural disasters, using satellite based earth observation data, hydrological models, field data and artificial intelligence in order to provide intelligence on rural and urban soil-water-vegetation-system-conditions and related risks per sector. By leveraging space technology and environmental observation data, PCP WISE seeks to address critical challenges related to floods, fires, and infrastructure impacts both in rural and urban areas. This collaborative effort brings together public buyers, research institutions, and industry experts to create and implement advanced climate services that will enhance Europe's ability to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. Therefore, it marks the start of an ambitious international collaboration dedicated to the sustainable management of water resources and the need to enlarge climate resilience across Europe. PCP WISE focuses on five distinct use cases, each addressing specific water-related challenges in different regions of Europe (North, South, West, and East) and geographical contexts (urban and rural) on flood, drought, subsidence, fire, or other concerns distinguishing between issues of a regular nature and those arising from crisis situations. For more information about the use cases, please see the OMC document.

81315741-Jobs Boost Process and Value-for-Money Evaluation-In South Africa young people in particular struggle to enter the labour market. In response to this challenge, the President of the Republic of South Africa has established the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention (PYEI), a comprehensive effort to ensure young people are successfully transitioning from learning to earning. The PYEI established a number of funding mechanisms to test and scale approaches to improve access to economic opportunities for young people. One of these funding mechanisms is the Jobs Boost programme. Jobs Boost is a R300 million (~EUR15 million) pay-for-performance model being piloted in South Africa. It is an outcomes fund that works with implementing partners to secure sustainable, quality jobs for unemployed, excluded youth. It is the largest youth employment outcomes fund in the world, and a major innovation in the South African government"s effort to confront the chronic youth unemployment problem. Further information on Jobs Boost is available on this website: https://jobsboost.org.za Jobs Boost was initiated by the Presidency, together with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the National Skills Fund (NSF), as part of the PYEI. It received funding support through the Presidential Employment Stimulus and directly from the NSF. Funding for the design of the programme was provided by the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. The pilot of the programme was designed and is being managed by Krutham through a non-profit company (NPC), Employment Outcomes NPC, which was established to administer the fund. The implementers were contracted in July 2024. Implementation commenced in August 2024 and will run for 12 months. Measurement of milestone achievement will continue for an additional 6 months beyond the 12 month period. For the pilot, the NSF, a part of the DHET, act as the sole funders, a pioneering role for a public entity. By acting as the funder, the NSF is taking the lead in government grant-making for skills development and is intended to identify new, innovative approaches to funding solutions for youth unemployment.
