The three pillars of UNCTAD's work are: 1) intergovernmental negotiations; 2) research policy analysis and statistics; and 3) technical assistance. Finland is one of the mos
t important countries providing voluntary contributions to UNCTAD. Finland has actively participated in the reform processes of UNCTAD during the last few years. President Tarja Halonen was co-chair of UNCTAD's Panel of Eminent Persons in 2012-2013. Finlan
d supports financially the following areas of UNCTAD's work: investment and entrepreneurship ICT and development Virtual Institute and trade and gender as well asa WTO accessions. Vuonna 1964 perustettu UNCTAD (United Nations Conference for Trade and Development) on YK:n yleiskokouksen alainen konferenssi. Konferenssin sihteeristö sijaitsee Genevessä. UNCTADin tehtävänä on avustaa kehitysmaiden integroitumista maailmantalouteen
. UNCTAD on hallinnollisesti osa YK:n sihteeristöä. Sen päätehtävät ovat: 1) hallitusten väliset neuvottelut; 2) tutkimus sekä 3) tekninen apu.Esitettävällä tuella rahoitetaan UNCTADin mandaatin mukaista toimintaa tutkimuksen ja teknisen yhteist
yön alueella. Tavoitteena on kehitysmaiden osaamisen kasvattaminen kauppaa ja sukupuolenvälistä tasa-arvoa koskevissa kysymyksissä. Tavoitteena on vahvistaa kykyä analysoida kaupan ja kauppapolitiikan vaikutuksia sukupuolten väliseen tasa-arvoon ja h
uomioida tulokset päätöksenteossa. Hyödynsaajina ovat periaatteessa kaikki kehitysmaat mutta lisäksi osa tämänkertaisesta Suomen tuesta kohdennetaan Keski-Amerikkaa koskevaan opetusmateriaaliin ja analyysiin. Teemaattisena painopisteenä on maatalou
den rakennemuutos ja sukupuolten välinen tasa-arvo. Hanke tukee WTO:n Buenos Airesin 2017 ministerikokouksessa annetun naisten taloudellista voimaannuttamista koskevan julkilausuman toimeenpanoa. UNCTADin työ on ollut erittäin kustannustehokasta. Pieni 
tiimi on saanut vähäisillä resursseilla aikaan hyviä tuloksia joka on näkynyt voimakkaana kysynnän kasvuna UNCTADin gender-työhön. Työ on saanut uusia tukijoita.Vuodesta 2015 verkkokursseille on osallistunut 578 osallistujaa (388 naista ja 190 mie
stä) 109 eri maasta. Opetukseen osallistujien arviot ovat olleet erittäin hyvät. Laaturyhmältä pyydetään puoltoa hankkeen rahoitukselle. Hankkeeseen esitetään myönnettäväksi vuoden 2018 määrärahoista yhteensä 380.000 EUR (UNCTADin sihteeris
tö 372.000 EUR ja hankeseurantaan 8.000 EUR) vuosille 2018-2020.

FLC: Towards a democratic and accountable society by investing in communities as partners in development PYM: CSFN Yhteisöt kehityskumppaneina: demokraattisen ja vastuullisen yhteiskunnan vahvistaminen CSFN was recently established (2013) as a funding vehicle to generate manage and distribute grants from a variety of donors to Civil Society organizations especially those organizations working at grassroots level with the most disadvantaged vulnerable and
 marginalised members of society. The aims of this project are as follows: 1) Establishing a strong mico-grants mechanism and process with good regional impact. In particular the CSFN seeks to embed in its systems tens years of experience of the UNAIDS Sma
ll Grants Fund. 2) Driving forward an institutional and service skills framework for CSOs and ensuring that CSFN micro-grantees are able to benefit from this framework. The framework will be fully integrated into the merging national vocational training sy
stem giving it access to the levy that will shortly be imposed on all Namibian employers (including NGOs) and ensuring consistency measurable standards and sustainability in capacity building. 3) developing structures to coordinatoe the work of organizatio
ns engaged in small granting schemes among existing small fund granters to civil society and more generally among private sector small grant givers who might wish to engage with civil society4) developing a detailed strategy for accessing funding from the 
corporate sector and implementing the first months of the strategy to build a long-term income stream for civil society CSFN on hiljattain perustettu säätiö jonka tavoitteena on varmistaa kansalaisjärjestöjen toiminnan kestävyys erityisesti rahoitukseen liittyen. CSFN  hankkeen tavoitteena on: 1) luoda tehokas järjestelmä yhteisöissä tehtävien ruohonjuuritason pr
ojektien rahoittamiseksi (mic-rogranting) hyödyntäen UNAIDS:in korirahoituksen mallia 2) kehittää kansalaisjärjestötoiminnasta puuttuvat instituutioihin ja palveluihin liittyvät standardit ja koulutuspolku 3) pienrahoittajien välisen yhteistyön ke
hittäminen 4) yritysvastuun ja yksityisen sektorin rahoituksen varmistaminen kansalaisjärjestötoiminnalle.
F.a: MANWU Union Development The project increases the negotiation power of the Metal and Allied Namibian Workers’ Union MANWU by recruiting 20 000 new members, improving the knowhow of members, activists, officials and leaders and increasing the visibility of the union.The membersh
ip of MANWU consists of workers in metal and construction sectors, and the number of members has in three years almost tripled to the current level of 15 000. However, the current potential is 40 000 and numbers of workers are still in the increase. For th
e union to get to negotiations in more companies, recruitment of members still needs to be continued and intensified. According to the Namibian law each company must have at least half of the workers organized (meaning the so called “50 % +1” rule), in
 order to gain official recognition for the union as negotiation partner. Most of the agreements are at company level and national minimum levels are a rarity. MANWU is therefore a pioneer influencing the entire negotiation system that has managed to negot
iate national minimum level for the construction sector. Now the objective is to achieve the same in the metal sector, but this requires wider company level coverage. Through the project MANWU also aims at financial and operational self-sustainability by i
ncreasing its membership and intensifying dues collection.The increased negotiation power and improved knowhow produce better collective agreements, improve the quality of life of workers in terms of income level and occupational health and safety and stre
ngthen the workers’ rights awareness. At the same time, the increased membership and improved dues collection make MANWU a more sustainable organization also financially.Beneficiaries are current and new members of MANWU, all workers of these sectors and
 the leadership and staff of the union.The project is implemented by the Metal and Allied Namibian Workers’ Union MANWU.

F.a:  Supporting  womens' livelihood The project aims to contribute to the overall socio-economic empowerment of women and children in Mersa surroundings. In the project area, especially women suffer of extreme poverty, negative cultural practices and abuse because of their position and condi
tion in the society. Women’s economic dependence on men is one of the root causes for women to be marginalized, which leads also to violation of women’s rights. Also, women’s access to decision-making processes is very limited.  By the end of the thi
rd phase of the project, women have been trained to improve their livelihoods and they know about accountings and can get micro-loans to establish small enterprises. Negative cultural practices are changing, family planning enhanced and the number of hiv-i
nfections reduced through awareness-raising and women´s groups. Psychosocial support is offered to people living with aids and to orphaned vulnerable children. Access to basic education for girls is improved through changing of attitudes, school mentoring
 and provision of school materials to girls of poor families. The direct beneficiaries of the project are about 25.000 women and girls in Mersa surroundings and indirect beneficiaries about 22.000 persons. The implementing agency is the Ethiopian Evangelic
al Church Mekane Yesus / North Central Synod Development and Social Services Commission (EECMY-DASSC-NCS) in Dessie.
