Geological Survey of Finland's support to AGS Geologian tutkimuskeskuksen (GTK) tuki AGS:lle Afghanistan has potentially very large mineral resources. The exploitation of these resources in the future would increase the economic growth and positively support the development of the society.Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) has strengthen during a 
five years training programme the capabilities of the Afghanistan Geological Survey (AGS) in the prospecting for ore. A group a AGS geologists received a diverse training in geophysics.The four years future cooperation aims to further improve AGSs capabili
ties and technics in the mining sector based on good foundation and relations which were built during the last five years. The planned budget is 12 million Euros.The main goal is to improve relations between the Governance Private Sector and the Technical 
University and in the long run to support Cluster Approach between the mentioned entities and also to increase the capabilities of AGS to administrate the mineral resources. This would enable AGS to provide better services for the Ministry of Mines and Pet
roleum. Afganistanin potentiaaliset mineraalivarat on arvioitu huomattavan suuriksi. Niiden hyödyntäminen tulevaisuudessa mahdollistaisi Afganistanin talouden ja sitä kautta yhteiskunnan suotuisan kehityksen. Geologian tutkimuskeskus (GTK) on vahvistanut viisiv
uotisessa koulutushankkeessa Afganistanin vastaavan viranomaisen AGS:n (Afghanistan Geological Survey) kapasiteettia malminetsinnässä. Hankkeen aikana GTK koulutti AGS:n geologeja monipuolisesti geofysiikan eri osa-alueilla.Nelivuotisen jatkohankkeen tar
koituksena on edelleen kehittää Afganistanin kaivossektorin toimintamahdollisuuksia ja -menetelmiä nojaamalla aiempien vuosien aikana rakennettuun hyvään perustaan ja yhteistyösuhteisiin. Suunniteltu budjetti on 12 miljoonaa euroa.Tavoitteena on erit
yisesti tiivistää yhteistyötä viranomaistenyksityissektorin ja oppilaitosten välillä. Pitkän aikavälin tavoitteena on tukea klusteriajatteluun perustuvaa mallia edellä mainittujen tahojen välillä ja kehittää AGS:ää niin että se pystyy nykyi
stä paremmin palvelemaan kaivosministeriötä maan mineraaliresurssien hallinnoimisessa.

ännitteisessä tilanteessa. Lisäksi tukijamaana Suomi on saanut osallistua dialogiin mikä on antanut Suomelle tärkeitä kontakteja tietoa ja näkyvyyttä. Suomen 50 000 euron tuki kohdistuu vuodelle 2020 ja se korvamerkitään ODA-kelpoisten maiden osa
llistumisen tukemiseen.
F.a: Alianza Biodiversidad: Constructing Food Sovereignty Through the project Alianza Biodiversidad wants to contribute to the discussion and the construction of new paradigms to shift away from the current model based on over-utilisation of natural resources. Agroecological small-scale production, revaluing trad
itional knowledge, defense of native seeds, strengthening of local markets and building of food sovereignty are seen as the new paradigm's foundations. The project supports adaptation to climate change and its mitigation for instance by nurturing crop vari
ety, shortening crop transportation distances as well as by avoiding packaging and food waste. It enhances human rights by empowering discriminated indigenous and small-scale female farmers. The project will produce educational and information material in 
electronic, print and multimedia formats to strengthen the social movements of the region, analysis and research material on strategic themes, trainings and local workshops on different levels and in different environments based of community needs. Concret
e outputs include, for instance distance learning courses on urban agroecology, environmental public health and project planning, four annual issues in Revista Biodiversidad in Spanish and Portuguese, maintenance of Biodiversidadla.org site and its content
's active sharing in social media, as well as maintenance of campaign and multimedia sites. Project beneficiaries consist of social movements aiming at an agroecology based food production model in Latin America. During the project period 100 peasant commu
nities and 20 native seed networks will be targeted. Most of them belong to the regional peasant movement CLOC-Via Campesina, which forms part of Alianza Biodiversidad. Regarding the website, beneficiaries also include the general public, whose view on dev
elopment based on mainstream media is aimed to be widened (150,000 monthly website visitors). Another target group is political decision-makers, which will be advocated to support legislation in line with peasant organizations' proposals (75 policy initiat
ives targeted during project period). Women's leadership, rights and work against gender based violence are at the heart of Alianza Biodiversidad's work, as CLOC-Via Campesina is a social movement with major participation by women.

 esiselvitysvaiheen tukea evaluointien edellyttämien tietojen identifiointia ja keräämistä sekä evaluointikonsulttien tukemista evaluoinnin eri vaiheissa.
F.a: Myanmar School of Politics Demo Finland/ NIMD project in Myanmar to support democratic transition focuses on strengthening the democratic role of political parties in a cross-party setting at the regional/state level of Myanmar. The current programme of Myanmar School of Politics (M
ySoP) started in 2016. The basic element of the programme are core courses, oganized 3 times a year. The core courses are 4-week-long and all the parties in particular regions/states of Myanmar, send their participants into the course, according to criteri
a set by MySoP. Politicians gain practical experience in policy development, public consultation, strategic policy planning, human rights, gender equality, debating, speech writing and multiparty dialogue. This contributes to a culture of dialogue amongst 
political parties, leading to the facilitation of dialogue. Moreover, a permanent Multiparty Dialogue Platform has been created in Shan State to support multiparty dialogue in practise among 12 parties in a sustainable and participatory way. MySoP alumnis 
will receive specific support through tailor made workshops, focusing on enhancing skills in debating, advocacy and planning policies etc. Additionally, peer exchange between international and Myanmar politicians will create further support on multiparty c
o-operation on the basis of experience sharing and mutual learning.##Outcomes of the project 2016-2020:#1. Safe space for dialogue btw. all relevant political actors#2. Political actors voice and monitor citizen´s interests#3. Improved capacity of local p
artner#4. Increased interest in collaborating among and btw political and civic actors, fostering inclusiveness of women and youth.#The achievement of the outcomes and results are monitored against pre-set indicators throughout the project. #The direct tar
get groups are the state level politicians taking part in the MySoP courses, but also the political parties as institutions. In the end, the people of Myanmar are the final beneficiaries of improved governance and democracy in their country.#NIMD and Demo 
Finland are currently implementing the programme directly through our joint country based country representative and supporting staff, building on the work of the pilot phase in 2014-2015. NIMD and Demo Finland will further develop a strategy to set-up a c
ountry office. Identification of an impartial, skilled and efficient local partner organisation for future implementation has not yet been succesful in the country.
Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in Zanzibar Sansibarin ympäristö- ja paikkatietojärjestelmien kehittäminen The Overall Objective (intended long-term impact) of the Project is improved utilisation of geospatial information in spatial planning and management in Zanzibar. The Project will improve access to spatial information and thus possibilities for inter-agenc
y cooperation and public participation in environmental and other spatial planning and management processes. Easy access to spatial information is a precondition for private sector involvement in economic development participatory democracy good governance
 (transparency) reduction of inequalities and fair sharing of benefits from natural resources which all contribute to poverty reduction. More efficient data sharing will create savings by reducing duplication of work by various agencies. In particular accu
rate coastal and marine spatial data also support the planning of adaptation to climate change which is imperative for small islands communities like Zanzibar. The project lasts for 3 years from 2016-2018 and its budget is 719 000 .Results areas are:1)Incr
eased capacity for developing and maintaining the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)2)Increased capacity for ecosystem-based planning and management of coastal zones maritime activities and the marine environment3)Improved geospatial capacities at

F.a: Implementation of ILO Convention 151 in the Philippines The project supports the implementation of the ILO Convention 151 and the regulation of the enabling laws in the Philippines. For this, public sector trade unions will have legal and technical support from labour legislation advisors. In addition, the proj
ect will provide training to trade unions on advocacy skills and capacity to monitor and guide the implementation of Convention 151 on workplace level. Interest representation of public sector workers in the Philippines has been difficult, since their righ
ts to organise have been almost non-existent. Due to privatization and outsourcing of public services the state administration and public services workers´ situation and rights have weakened, and without an official recognition, the strikes and collective
 bargaining are ineffective and even illegal. In 2013-2015 PSI together with its affiliates and SASK implemented a project, which aimed at ratifying the right to organise and negotiate for public sector workers in Philippines. received. The ratification di
d not succeed, but a new campaign, based on a new strategy, was implemented in 2017.  In August 2017, Philippines was the first Asian country to ratify the ILO Convention 151. This was an extremely significant victory for the trade union movement of the Ph
ilippines. The ratification of ILO Convention 151 will significantly improve the public sector workers´ situation and collective bargaining rights in the Philippines. The challenge for the trade union movement after the successful ratification will be the
 inclusion of the Convention into the national legislation through enabling laws and its implementation on workplace level. The beneficiaries are public sector workers and trade unions in the Philippines. The project is implemented by Public Services Inter
national (PSI) and its member unions in the Philippines.
