Finnish support to Water Supply + Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) Suomen tuki Water Supply + Sanitation Collaborative Councilille (WSSCC) Water Supply + Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) is a global multi-stakeholder partnership which focuses on improving sanitation and hygiene among the poorest. WSSCC's activities are divided to the implementation of sustainable and safe sanitation o
n a country-level under the Global Sanitation Fund (GSF) and to knowledge management advocacy and information activities under the Sanitation Leadership Trust Fund (SLTF). UNOPS serves as a legal host organization for WSSCC. WSSCC works predominantly in ru
ral settings in Africa and Asia. WSSCC operates in line with the Community Lead Total Sanitation (CLTS) model. It does not fund sanitation infrastructure but focuses on behavioral change through education and advocacy.Finland has contributed 1 MEUR annual 
non-earmarked support to the implementation of WSSCC's Medium-Term Strategic Plan 2012-2016 since 2012. During the period of Finland's funding WSSCC has succeeded in creating Open Defecation Free (ODF) environments in GSF programme countries and conducted 
successful global advocacy work in the area of menstrual hygiene management. It is proposed that Finland will contribute 500 000 EUR non-earmarked support to the implementation of WSSCC's Medium-Term Strategic Plan 2012-2016 for 2016. http://wsscc.org/ Vesihuollon ja sanitaation yhteistyöneuvosto (Water Supply + Sanitation Collaborative Council WSSCC) on erityisesti kaikkein köyhimpien sanitaation parantamiseen ja hygieniatyöhön keskittyvä monitoimijaverkosto.

F.a: Cambodia Changemaker Network (CCN) In Cambodia 65 % of the population is under age of 30 and therefore youth empowerment is an imperative. While youth is dynamic resource, there is little representation of young people in decision-making process. Robust youth participation is perhaps the st
rongest mechanism to enable their potential contribute to the development of their community. By building capacity among Cambodian youth, Cambodia Changemaker Network (CNN) is empowering the next generation of leaders and agents of change.Objectives:• To
 enhance space and opportunities for youth to be actively involved in the society and policy making process • To increase knowledge, skills and awareness of youth on human rights, education and peaceExpected Result: • Youth have enhanced knowledge and 
capacity to constructively engage in advocacy actions• Youth have increased opportunity and spaces to express their voices on their concerned issues• Strengthened youth organisation and networkingRights-holders/beneficiaries:Cambodia Changemaker Networ
k has identified the core to establish the network in 2014. During 2015 this group has been growing to more than 100 members with diverse background including high school students, university students, monks, disabled, and staff from different NGOs and pub
lic sector. Many of them are from Phnom Penh city, and some smaller numbers are from provinces including Kom Pong Spue, Bonteay Meanchey, Kompong Cham, Siem Reap, Battam Bong, Kandal, and Prey Veng. Implementing partner: Khmer Youth Association (KYA) was a
 hosting partner for Cambodia Changemaker Network (CNN) in 2015, but for 2016 CNN members have agreed to have FCA as the hosting partner. FCA is able to provide effective administration and other technical support to the network as needed.

Syrian Voices: Exploring inclusive solutions for peace in Syria by European Institute of Peace (EIP). Phase II 2016-2018 Syrian Voices -rauhanvälityshanke Euroopan rauhaninstituutti (EIP). II vaihe 2016-2018 lisämyöntö vuodelle 2019 Project aims at contributing to peace process in Syria by facilitating regular dialogues between relevant national and regional stakeholders and supporting the work of UN Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura. Finland has financed the first phase of the project
 (8/2015 - 7/2016) with EUR 400.000. On the second two-year phase (8/2016 - 7/2018) the Finnish funding will amount to EUR 800.000. During the first phase EIP has established the structures for its Syria work and it is very well positioned between the diff
erent tracks of mediation and can bring real added value to both the UN-led track 1 and for the work of various track 2 actors. Mr. Pekka Haavisto (MP) has been nominated as president of the EIP board in October 2016. The project complements the work done 
by other Finnish-funded peace-building efforts for Syria. Hankkeen päämääränä on edistää Syyrian rauhanponnisteluja fasilitoimalla eri tasoisia dialogiprosesseja ja tukemalla YK:n Syyria erityisedustajan työtä. Suomi on rahoittanut hankkeen ensimmäistä vaihetta (8/2015 - 7/2016) 400.000 eurolla ja kah
den vuoden (8/2016 - 7/2018) vaiheen rahoitus on yhteensä 800.000 euroa. EIP on ensimmäisen vaiheen aikana luonut Syyria-työnsä rakenteet ja se on erittäin hyvin asemoitunut rauhanvälityksen raiteiden väliin ja pystyy tuomaan todellista lisäarvoa s
ekä YK-raiteelle että eri 2-raiteen toimijoiden (kansalaisjärjestöjen rauhanvälitystyön) työlle. Lisämyöntö kohdistuu yksinomaan kahden multitrack-kokouksen rahoittamiseen vuonna 2019.Kansanedustaja Pekka Haavisto valittiin lokakuussa 2018 uudell
en EIP:n hallituksen puheenjohtajaksi. Hanke täydentää hyvin Suomen muita olemassa olevia Syyrian rauhanrakennuksen tukihankkeita.
Women's rights in Myanmar Naisten oikeuksien edistäminen Myanmarissa Myanmar is one of the least developed countries and is a fragile state. Inequality of sexes and gender based discrimination and violence hinder democratic development in the country. The objective of the project is to advance women's rights in three areas 
still suffering from conflict (Rakhine Northern Shan and Kachin). The project aims to integrate prevention and response for gender based violence into general sexual and reproductive health services. The project is implemented by UNFPA. The duration of the
 project is three years and Finland's contribution 365 million euros. UNFPA:n Women and Girls First (WGF) -hankkeen toinen vaihe toimii Myanmarin konfliktialueilla tarjoten tukipalveluja sukupuolittuneen väkivallan uhreille. Hankkeen päämääränä on edistää sukupuolten välistä tasa-arvoa Myanmarissa. Tärkeimpänä 
komponenttina tavoitteen saavuttamiseksi on seksuaalisen ja sukupuoleen kohdistuvan väkivallan vähentäminen ja ennaltaehkäisy. Tähän pyritään tarjoamalla laadukkaita mielenterveys- seksuaali- ja lisääntymisterveyspalveluita sekä palveluita seksu
aalista- ja sukupuoleen kohdistuvaa väkivaltaa kokeneille.  Lisäksi pyritään muuttamaan sosiaalisia normeja siten että naisilla ja tytöillä on valmiudet vaatia ja saada yhtäläiset oikeudet yhteiskunnassa. Hankkeen ensimmäisessä vaiheessa UNFPA k
eräsi paljon uutta dataa teki tutkimusta osallistui myös vetoroolissa koordinaatiomekanismeihin sekä järjesti työpajoja konsultaatioita ja tapahtumia. Erityisen onnistunut komponentti on ollut tietoisuuden kasvattaminen ja yhteisöjen mukaan lukien mi
ehet ja pojat mobilisointi. Lisäksi yli 200 000 naista ja tyttöä konfliktialueilla sai hankkeen tarjoamia palveluita ja tietoa vuosina 2016-2017.Suomi tukee hankkeen toista vaihetta 4 miljoonalla eurolla vuosina 2020-2022.

F.a: DRC office PMER support for exit The decision to exit from DRC by the end of 2015 was made in September 2015. The exiting from DRC is due to significant budget cuts resulting from reduced MFA funding for FCA’s development and humanitarian work in 2016. It is foreseen that most FCA funde
d and implemented programme work will end by the end of 2015, with the exception of the MFA funded humanitarian operation continuing in Masisi until the end of March 2016. The exit process has been negotiated with FCA stakeholders in Goma, such as the Unit
ed Nations organisations and Government partners at provincial level, as well as with all partners during October 2015. Based on these discussions all local partners have developed and submitted their exit plans to FCA. The plans focus on supporting the su
stainability of the on-going projects and initiatives in the long term. In 2015, FCA will support the partners in particular with the efforts to introduce the projects to new donor organisations. Preliminary discussions have been held with a number of INGO
s. Additional capacity building is also provided during the second half of 2015. The main objective:In January and February 2016, FCA will maintain a small support staff in Goma, North Kivu to ensure an effective and full exit, including finalisation of 20
15 office audit and partner audits, as well as preparing an annual report for 2015 and assuring that all administrative and financial processes are respected and the closing down will be done in a responsible manner.  Expected results:Successful finalisati
on of all FCA supported projects and where possible, the hand-over to new donors in DRC. This includes the final office and project audits, final reporting and ensure full respect of all administrative, contractual and human resource processes.

FLC: NM - Nawya - Baladini The program will aim to empower a broad group of 75 low-income women with the skills knowledge and resources to produce and sell high value-added clean healthy and traditional food products. By offering a series of ?healthy practice? sessions (held once qu
arterly) we will aim to teach methods for producing high-quality high-nutrition hygienic food based on local traditions and environments.the program will focus more heavily on investing in a smaller group of high-impact women to become leaders and entrepre
neurs within their communities. Through the mechanism of an already-established Baladini ?business? ? based on healthy innovative food products that fuse local and international traditions ? we will promote a continual cycle of educational and income-makin
g opportunities. Underneath this business structure a first official cohort of women from Abu Sir and Sakkara will be selected to receive a series of technical trainings and on-the-job experiences building skills in artisanal food production. A series of b
usiness shadowing apprenticeship and mentorship programs will help women ?specialize? in specific business skills such as sales finance management and R+D. Literacy programs with business-based activities as primary learning tools will also be held.
