Voluntary contribution for OECD horizontal work on Policy Coherence for Development MFA provides a voluntary contribution to support the horizontal work on Policy Coherence for Development (PCD). The support is channelled through the PCD unit that operates within the office of the Secretary General of the OECD. On the basis of a broader a
pproach to PCD (established in the OECD Strategy of the Development) its mandate is to:? i) broaden and deepen evidence-based analyses on the costs of incoherent policies as well as on the benefits of more coherent policies,? ii) work with a wide range of 
partners to develop robust indicators to monitor progress and assess impacts of diverse policies on development,? iii) apply a PCD lens to ongoing OECD work in order to contribute to the analysis of key issues (such as global food security illicit financia
l flows and green growth), and provide a platform for dialogue with key stakeholders on PCD issues from OECD and partner countries. To fulfil this mandate and to make the best use of the International Platform for PCD additional applications to support and
 increase its functionality will be put in place based on a consultation with the network of the national focal points for PCD. Such an upgrade will help to move from a repository of PCD resources towards a more interactive shared workspace able to facilit
ate collective advocacy on policy coherence for development knowledge sharing and dissemination of good experiences and lessons learned as well as undertake joint initiatives. Close collaboration with the PCD benefits the work that the MFA is undertaking i
n terms of strengthening the policy coherence for development at the national level by chairing the Finnish government's PCD-network. The food security pilot of the Finnish PCD-network is closely monitored by OECD's PCD unit.

Empowerment of Aymara-women in the Bolivian Altiplano This project is part of AYNI's development strategy to support the Aymara community. The aim is to empower Aymara women working in agriculture. The objective is to enhance their skills and production capacity in order to strengthen their position in strong
ly patriarchal and gender-based communities. In Aymara communities women have basically neither power nor influence and are easily victims of violence and segregation. Not even all the girls have access to school and hence illiteracy rates are exceptionall
y high. The first step of the project is to map those activities that bring add value to the production of agriculture in the area. When these activities have been identified the most suitable one for women will be chosen and transferred to the responsibil
ity of the beneficiaries (women). The next step is to organise a wide training programme where 100 workshops will be arranged. The workshops will be aimed at enhancing the professional skills of the beneficiaries. Three times a year there will be a meeting
 for all the members of the community where the participants will have the opportunity to share experiences and realise the dignity and importance of their work.The third and last phase is the organisation of workshops on human and citizens' rights as well
 as  gender equality. Six workshops will be arranged in every community on the status of women gender discrimination etc.

Capacity building for Mongolian deaf people by empowering their NGOs The project aims at inclusion of deaf people in Mongolian society. There are 3 problems to help deaf people to have more opportunities to access the society and claim their human rights:1. The NGOs that are working on all inclusion of deaf people in societ
y are weak and need to be empowered to do a better job then they will be capable of doing. Most NGOs started from an ideology to help deaf people on one or two aspects of inclusion like helping to find employment or with legal issues but they don't have ma
nagement knowledge or skills and mostly lack of money and staff. They are all members of the Mongolian Deaf Federation (MNFD) and could have a stronger voice in the Mongolian society when they work more as a team and join forces. By training them as a team
 in the project centre on different management issues they will have more opportunities to development services for deaf people and be better heard when they stand up for the rights of the Deaf.2. The Deaf in the different areas of Mongolia have developed 
their own sign language in daily life which is limited by the way of this development. The second partner organization in this project the Mongolian Association of Sign Language Interpreters (MASLI) is now developing a National Standard for sign language w
hich will be ready at the end of 2012 with signs that will be a bit different for groups of deaf people in the country and new signs that will extend their learning and communication possibilities. It is very important that deaf people learn that standard 
and we want to use the existing structure of NGOs for the Deaf to make the standard for sign language accessible for deaf people all over the country.3. The third problem is the lack of interpreters in sign language and the lack of knowledge about communic
ation with deaf people among the hearing community which makes it very difficult for deaf people to access justice enter legal commitments participate in regular education information in general and all other human rights. By training volunteers from the N
GOs to become interpreters and by including governmental organizations in the advocacy about communication with deaf people this situation will be improved.
