Promoting domestic work as a decent occupation for women Domestic workers are one of the most vulnerable groups in Peruvian society and the labour markets. Being mostly women and migrants from the rural areas of the country domestic workers are treated as second class citizens with less rights than others. Domes
tic work is one of the largest sectors of the informal economy. Although there is a law since 2003 regulating domestic work it is often neglected and the rights of persons working in domestic service are systematically ignored. The salaries are below minim
um wage often only accommodation and food are seen as sufficient compensation fo helping in the household. Domestic workers work up to 16hour days with no 24hour rests holidays and no right to social security. Working in private household they are often su
bjected to violence and abuse by their employers.  The objective of this project is to contribute to the inclusion of domestic workers as workers and full citizens of the society. The immediate objective is that the domestic workers once empowered would be
 in a position to better negotiate their rights and fulfil their responsibilities. The main cross-cutting objectives concerning the Finnish development policy are 1) promotion of equal opportunities for a group that is marginalized and discriminated in the
 society and 2) gender equality: most of domestic workers are women. The project will be carried out by the Peruvian partner Asociacion Grupo de Trabajo Redes (AGTR). Activities are organized using already existing structures: La Casa de Panchita is a loca
l meeting point in Lima coordinated by AGTR that offers a variety of services for domestic workers. In the same establishment is also situated the employment agency LA CASA DE PANCHITA S.A.C. that mediate job opportunities for persons in domestic services 
without commission fees. The beneficiaries of the project are around 1500 women over 18 years who work or are seeking for work in domestic services and wish to improve their working conditions and bargaining power. The beneficiaries are contacted through L
a Casa de Panchita and the ones following a job training are elegible to seek for a job through the employment agency.The main activities of the project are: a. Job training b. Legal counseling for domestic workers experiencing problems at their workplacec
. Empowerment through artd. Participatory theatre where domestic workers practice their bargaining power through theatre.

rdination through the country programme. The programme also provides a setting for dialogue on different levels from the central government to the local communities. It is particularly important because good governance is not itself part of the aid archite
cture where the government would be participating.UNDP's country programme is directly aligned with the principles of Finland's Development Policy Programme. The higher development goal is strengthening of democratic institutions and advancing of human rig
hts with the democratic governance and rule of law development. The cross cutting themes are human rights based approach gender equality and strengthening of the status of women as well as southern cooperation.

t. Iraqis are lacking the right to legal employment and also health services and educational opportunities for children and youth are very limited. Moreover, mental traumas and frustrations oppress many families. Fida partners with various representatives

Sumba Water Supply In Kaksingri valley in the nearby areas to Sumba West in Suba District Kenya there are today five boreholes for water. People who fetch water from these boreholes have increased as well as the consumption of water. There has occationally been some small fi
ghting incidents for water close to the waterstations mainly because of long queues. One of the boreholes is nearby the Rukongo Youth Polytechnic (RYP) since the mid 1980-ties. Water at this borehole is pumped with solarenergypowered waterpumps and is led 
to a tank where villagers are pumping water manually.  Sumba village at about 15 kilometers away lacks its own well for water and the school children at Sumba School are carrying water from home to school water which sometimes is of poor quality. This affe
cts the health of the children and their possibility to concentrate  and eventually on their school results. The cattle is walking up to 15 kilometers every day during dryseason to drink water. The area is very hilly has significant elevation differences w
hich is consuming energy and time to fetch water. Sumba area also lacks water places for cattle. For this purpose the villagers are today referred to the nearby Lake Victoria that lies at distance of about seven kilometers from the village. The long walk f
or water makes the livestock less productive.   By drilling deep for water and building infrastructure for a couple of new waterstations as well as a drinkingplace for cattle at about 1-15 kilometers from the closest borehole and uphills on the slope in th
e Sumba village these problems may be solved for a long time.    The borehole will according to the plan be drilled close to the Sumba Primary School. Water will be pumped with solarenergy from the borehole to two diffrerent watertanks with handpumps one o
n the school compound and the other one just next to the borehole where the villagers can fetch water. The pupils may use water during daytime and also bring some along with them when they return home after the school day is over.    Water is pumped with a
 handpump from one of the tanks and is led through a channel to a drinking place for cattle. Overflow water may also form from the pumpingplaces. Since water is pumped authomatically from the borehole as long as sun is shining (daylight) there might at tim
es be an overflow. All overflow water will be led to a drinkingplace for cattle.

South Sudan Water and Sanitation Programme The objective of South Sudan's water and sanitation program is to promote the right of South Sudanese to have an access to clean water and sanitation in four target cities. The project will improve the population's health status the societal position of wo
men and children local people's participation in the sector as well as the development and construction of the state and public services in a sustainable way. The project will initially focus on urban water management support. The support may later be exte
nded to cover water and sanitation sector development in rural areas. The project will reduce urban environmental problems.South Sudan is one of the world's least developed countries. For example the majority of the population is illiterate and maternal mo
rtality is the highest in the world. The country's basic infrastructure deficits are high. Lack of clean water and sanitation deficiencies pose serious health and environmental problems. Only 34% of the urban population has access to potable water system. 
Women and children are responsible for collecting water. Collecting takes significant amount of women's time and also hinders children's attendance to school. Water pipes are in short supply and waste water management is difficult. Lack of clean water in c
ities causes water-borne diseases such as cholera and diarrhea. In particular small children get sick easily. Water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector are one of the top priorities that Government of South Sudan has defined for itself. The project is par
t of the EU joint programming which is based on the Government of South Sudan Development Plan and aid strategy. Finland has delegated the responsibility of monitoring and managing of the project to Germany. Germany has been appointed by the EU member coun
tries as one of the leading donors in the water and sanitation sector.
