GIZ & FAO | Solar Powered Irrigation Systems Toolbox
The Toolbox on Solar Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS) is designed to enable advisors, service providers and practitioners in the field of solar irrigation to provide broad hands-on guidance to end-users, policy-makers and financiers. Risks related to system efficiency, financial viability and the unsustainable use of water resources can thus be minimized. The Toolbox comprises informative modules supplemented with user-friendly software tools (calculations sheets, checklists, guidelines).
Solar-Powered Irrigation System Educational Videos
A series of seven tutorial videos which explore the topic of SPIS and complements the resources and tools under the Toolbox on Solar Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS) and the SPIS App. The videos are also available in French and Swahili and cover a comprehensive range of topics such as the benefits and challenges, investment and finance, water requirements, system components, farm suitability, maintenance and monitoring and the summary and a way forward.

Peace and Conflict Toolbox
The Peace and Conflict Toolbox provides thematic method support and guidance in relation to Sida’s key processes – developing strategy proposals, programme management and following up on strategy implementation. It targets Sida staff as well as partners and other stakeholders.
Poverty Toolbox
This toolbox gathers tools and information to support the analysis and integration of multidimensional poverty throughout Sida’s operations.
Sida takes a multidimensional view of poverty, implying that poverty not only means lack of material resources, but also lack of power, voice and respect for human rights, lack of opportunities and choice, and/or lack of human security.
USAID Resources
USAID | Agriculture and Food Security
USAID is advancing global food security by helping families and individuals meet their need for a reliable source of quality food and sufficient resources to produce or purchase it. This, in turn, supports global stability and prosperity. By addressing the root causes of hunger, USAID is increasing economic opportunity and growth among vulnerable communities.
USAID | Marketlinks - Women's Economic Empowerment and Gender Equality Wiki
Greater women’s economic empowerment and gender equality (WEEGE) can reduce poverty, promote prosperity and improve development outcomes for future generations. This wiki is intended to help USAID staff, implementing partners and development practitioners to understand, address constraints to, and advance women’s economic empowerment and gender equality in their work.
