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 thir
d 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-in
fections 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 Evangelica
l Church Mekane Yesus-Development and Social Services Commission-North Central Synod (EECMY-DASSC-NCS) in Dessie.
KV.RAH.LAIT/NordicTrust Fund NTF KV.RAH.LAIT/Maailmanpankin pohjoismainen ihmisoikeusrahasto The Nordic Trust fund (NTF) of the World Bank is a knowledge and learning program on human rights. NTF started its operation in the year 2006 with funding from Norway Denmark Sweden Finland and Island. Total funding at the end of the year 2014 was 256 mill
ion USD of which the share of Finland was 465 million USD. Germany has also contributed 600.000 USD to support programs which they have chosen to be funded. There are two main components in NTF: knowledge sharing and grant support. NTF has during its lifes
pan granted support to programs studies has organized events/workshops to World Bank staff and produced literature on human rights.NTF Grant Programs are focusing and influencing on improving poor people's access to health education food and water; promoti
ng the participation of indigenous peoples in decision-making and the accountability of governments to their citizens; supporting justice reforms fighting corruption and increasing transparency of governments. Maailmanpankin Pohjoismainen ihmisoikeusrahasto (Nordic Trust Fund NTF) on ihmisoikeuksien tieto- ja oppimisohjelma joka aloitti toimintansa v. 2006. Rahoitusta ovat antaneet Norja Tanska Ruotsi Suomi ja Islanti ja vuoden 2014 lopussa kokonaisrahoitus oli 
256 milj. USD josta Suomen osuus on 465 milj. USD.  Myös Saksa on tukenut valitsemiaan hankkeita 600.000 USD:lla. Rahastolla on kaksi pääkomponenttia: tiedonjako ja hanketuki. Se on myöntänyt toimintansa aikana rahoitusta hankkeille tutkimukseen järj
estänyt tapahtumia/työpajoja Maailmanpankin henkilöstölle ja tuottanut ihmisoikeuskirjallisuutta.NTF:n tukemien hankkeiden avulla vaikutetaan siihen että köyhimmätkin voivat saada terveydenhuoltoa opetusta ruokaa ja vettä.  Hankkeilla edistetään 
alkuperäiskansojen osallistumista päätöksentekoon edistetään hallitusten tilivelvollisuutta kansalaisilleen tuetaan lakiuudistuksia torjutaan korruptiota ja parannetaan hallitusten läpinäkyvyyttä toiminnoissaan.
F.a: Quality Assurance, Risk Management and Outreach All organisations involved in international development are facing a growing demand of value for money, as well as significant expectations regarding the quality assurance and results of their work. A proper results-based management system cannot be built 
on one-off interventions or processes targeting the quality of the programme from a narrow perspective. Rather, it entails a set of well-integrated purposeful functions, which respond to the specific requirements of the programme as well as the needs for m
onitoring and implementing the programme as one entity. Within recent years, CMI has put strong effort on developing the different functions related to the various components of programmatic quality assurance such as standardised monitoring documents and i
nternal reviews. However, during the programme partnership, there is need for strengthening the programmatic quality assurance system in two ways: i) synchronising the different functions to a coherent entity and ii) updating the specific functions from pr
oject-level to programme-level functions. Conflict prevention and resolution efforts supported by external actors can only be successful if they are conducted in coordination and with the full cooperation of local and national actors. CMI actively particip
ates in mediation activities worldwide and is a member of several international coordination mechanisms. In these forums, CMI proactively contributes to the international debate on conflict resolution practices. Cooperation with Finnish actors active or in
terested in the fields of conflict resolution and peace building is fostered as well.
Evaluation on improvement of women?s and girls' rights in Finland's development co-operation Evaluointi naisten ja tyttöjen oikeuksien edistämisestä Suomen kehitysyhteistyössä Improvement of women?s and girls' rights has been a priority in Finland's development co-operation for a long time. However the evaluability assessment reveals that there are insufficient monitoring data as well as evaluation reports available on this them
e for the needs of overall impact evaluation. Therefore this evaluation is focusing on those approaches on gender equality in Finland's development co-operation that can be used as a best practice for the future implementation of the development policy. Naisten ja tyttöjen oikeuksien edistäminen on Suomen pitkäaikainen kehityspolitiikan prioriteetti. Tässä evaluoinnissa on tarkoitus arvioida miten Suomen kehityspolitiikan ja kehitysyhteistyön keinoin on pystytty edistämään naisten ja tyttöjen oi
keuksia käytännössä. Evaluointia edelsi evaluoitavuusselvitys joka totesi että poliittinen sitoumus on vahvaa mutta poliittisen sitoumuksen ja käytännön toteutuksen välillä on kuilu. Arvioitavuuden todettiin olevan heikko mikä viittaa siihen ett
ä tarkoin määritellyt linjaukset sekä toisaalta avun tuloksellinen toteuttaminen ja seuranta ovat olleet epäsuhdassa keskenään Ensisijainen evaluaatiokysymys on ?arvioida Suomen kehitysyhteistyön naisten ja tyttöjen oikeuksia edistävien käytänt
öjen ohjelmien ja linjausten merkitystä saavutuksia ja puutteita jotka olivat toteutuneet monenvälisen yhdistetyn monen- ja kahdenvälisen kahdenvälisen ja kansalaisyhteiskunnan kanssa toteutetussa yhteistyössä vuosien 2012 ja 2017 välillä?. Sen si
jaan että olisi pyritty vetämään yleistettävissä olevia johtopäätöksiä Suomen kehitysyhteistyön tuloksellisuudesta tai sen vaikuttavuudesta evaluoinnin tavoitteena on tuottaa kokoelma esimerkkejä hyvistä käytännöistä ja saaduista kokemuksi
staEvaluoinnissa käytetään soveltaen muutosharava-lähestysmistapaa. Evaluointi kattaa matkat Nepaliin Keniaan Somaliaan ja YK:n päämajaan New Yorkiin (UN Women ja UNFPA). Evaluoinnin kokonaisbudjetti on 441 500 euroa.
Sustainable development goals in a companies value chains Kestävän kehityksen tavoitteet yritysten arvoketjuissa Companies have great social and environmental impacts related to the SDGs. The greatest impacts may be beyond the scope of the assets it owns or controls with the biggest business opportunities being potentially further upstream or downstream in the value 
chain. Companies should minimize the negative impacts and maximize the positive ones all across the whole value chain as this is beneficial for both the business owners as well as the society at large. The project supports Finnish companies and their parti
cipation in supporting sustainable development in their own field. The project also supports companies in conducting responsible business behavior and in following the relevant international norms. The Project also increases the commitment of companies to 
support the realization of human rights offers information and tools to help minimize negative human rights impacts and act on changing harmful business practices. The two-year project has been granted a total of 97 500 euro government support. Yritykset vaikuttavat kestävään kehitykseen ja sen sosiaalisiin ympäristöllisiin ja yhteiskunnallisiin ulottuvuuksiin merkittävästi. Yrityksen vaikutuksia yhteiskuntaan syntyy läpi arvoketjun ja voi olla että suurimmat vaikutukset syntyvät yrityk
sen oman ydintoiminnan ulkopuolella joko arvoketjun alku- tai loppuvaiheissa. Yritysten tulisi minimoida liiketoimintansa negatiiviset vaikutukset ja maksimoida positiiviset vaikutukset ei ainoastaan omissa toiminnoissaan vaan koko arvoketjun varrella. Nä
in toimiminen kannattaa ? ajatellen niin yrityksen omistajaa kuin yhteiskuntaa yleisesti.Hanke tukee suomalaisyritysten osallistumista kestävän kehityksen edistämiseen omalla alallaan  sekä tukee heidän yhteiskuntavastuun parhaiden käytäntöjen toim
eenpanoa laajemmin. Hanke myös lisää yritysten sitoutuneisuutta kunnioittaa ihmisoikeuksia tarjoaa tukea ja koulutusta sekä työkaluja välttämään negatiivisia ihmisoikeusvaikutuksia sekä puuttumaan toimintansa kielteisiin vaikutuksiin. Agenda 2030
:n linkityksistä yritystoimintaan viestitään aktiivisesti läpi hankkeen myös laajemmalle kohderyhmälle mukaan lukien yritysten sidosryhmät - ja osallistetaan suuri joukko yrityksiä ja sidosryhmiä mukaan kestävän kehityksen ja vastuullisemman lii
ketoiminnan edistämiseen. Kaksivuotiseen hankkeeseen on myönnetty yhteensä 97 500 euron valtionavustus.

Exploratory study on Myanmar peace process Selvitys Myanmarin rauhanprosessista Myanmar has suffered from ethnic conflicts since its independence in 1948. In October 2015 a Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement was signed between the Government and 8 ethnic armed organizations but number of armed groups remain outside the Agreement. Not much
 progress has been made in the peace process despite efforts of the State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi. The overall objective of the project is to assess the possibilities to support inclusive and negotiated solutions to the issues underlying and sustaining 
the conflict logic in Myanmar. The project also assesses the complementarity of possible activities with the existing Finnish funded peace process support. Myanmarissa on käyty etnisiä konflikteja koko maan itsenäisyyden ajan ? vuodesta 1948 lähtien. Hallitus solmi lokakuussa 2015 koko maan kattavan tulitaukosopimuksen kahdeksan etnisen aseellisen ryhmän kanssa mutta iso joukko etnisiä aseellisia ryhmi
ä jäi sopimuksen ulkopuolelle. Rauhanneuvottelut ovat kuitenkin olleet pitkälti jumissa valtiokansleri Aung San Suu Kyin rauhanponnisteluista huolimatta. Hankkeen tarkoituksena on arvioida erilaisia mahdollisuuksia ja keinoja tukea Myanmarin rauhanprose
ssia ja auttaa maata löytämään inklusiiviset ratkaisut ongelmiin jotka ylläpitävät konfliktia. Hanke arvioi myös mahdollisuuksia täydentää Suomen tämänhetkistä tukea Myanmarin rauhanprosessille.
F.a: Health and Care in Communities Since 2010 FRC has supported Afghanistan Red Crescent Society’s (ARCS) health programme through IFRC. The objective is to support the most vulnerable parts of the population, the remote rural communities. The humanitarian needs are further exacerbated by
 frequent natural disasters and the fact that the country’s basic services are largely not met and lack of sufficient livelihoods and malnutrition are a severe. More than 70% of the population live in chronic poverty. By far the most crucial needs are in
 health sector with estimated 3.1 million people in direct need. Public health sector is insufficient or non-existing when ca. 36% of population have no access to essential health care. In 2016, the FRC will continue to support the ARCS health programming 
in an integrated manner. The focus is in enabling ARCS volunteers to provide services to the people. Global CBHFA tool is used in training and dissemination. Volunteers do preventative work, work with local communities and shuras, provide first aid and hel
p in emergencies and participate to immunization campaigns. Main objective is to continue enforcing ARCS structures and policies and support them in finding relevant humanitarian space in extremely volatile country.
F.a: Decent Work and Healthy Environment The project develops Nepali forestry sector workers awareness, skills and methods in sustainable forest management. At the same time the trade unions capacity and joint action are promoted, and union membership enhanced.Often times the methods used in Nepa
li forest management have been short-sighted and the occupational health and safety (OHS) practices weak. In addition, the workers awareness and opportunities to effect on their terms has been minimal. Due to low organising rates unions have not been able 
to effectively defend workers interests. The project strengthens unions and OHS through education, training and organizing, contributes toward applying more sustainable forest management methods and forests viability and sustainable use. Increasingly union
s, with other civil society actors, will influence forest and conservation related policies, so that labour rights are taken into account in them.Union’s capacities, opportunities and networks will strengthen, and this will ensure more effective defendin
g of the workers’ rights application. Gradually, also collective agreeing and social dialogue will begin to improve positively toward workers terms and conditions. OHS situation will improve and finally the status of forests will become healthier and mul
tiple use of forests will realize.In the outset project’s beneficiaries are trade unions (skills, image, strength), which will gradually be better able to defend and promote worker’s rights, terms and OHS. Gradually, many forest and nature sector worke
rs will benefit from the project. Project is coordinated by Building and Wood Workers International Nepalese Affiliates Committee (BWI NAC), and implemented by their affiliates in Nepal (CAWUN and CUPPEC).
