F.a: Community Development and Partner's Capacity Building Programme in Upper Egypt A nation fighting ISIS for a second year has not had the chance to recover from previous oppression and subjugation. Speaking on behalf of people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups has been left in the shadow of party politics, language, religio
n, and ethnic tensions. The partners need more knowledge, vision and support in working with vulnerable groups, and Fida is providing training for this. Fida cooperates with Assemblies of God Ankawan, Halabja School Office and Halbja Handicap in the projec
t. Due to the nature of the project, Fida does not have a contract partner per se in the project. The beneficiaries of the project are children, people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, including refugees. Kindergarten staff are guided to use 
child-centred teaching methods and to teach social skills to children. Those working with people with disabilities are directed to network and to include the community in the rehabilitation. Vulnerable groups (including people with disabilities and refugee
s) are provided with teaching of English and possibilities of expressing oneself through art. The project goal is the increased wellbeing of families and the purpose is partners that know how to work for the increased wellbeing of families.Through the proj
ect, the trained staff’s knowledge on disability and skills of working with people with disabilities develop. Kindergarten staff’s skill to use child-centred methods and to teach social skills increases. The life skills of vulnerable groups increase.
F.a: Organising Private and New Establishment of Service Sector - South-South During this phase a mapping study will be conducted, on which results the organizing programs will be designed. Well aimed organizing programs will be implemented, and when necessary in new enterprises a new trade union will be established. In target compa
nies where the negotiation process and industrial relations are more advanced, the focus will be put on negotiating better CBAs and in maintaining social dialogue. Training will be geared on developing young and women leaders.UNI sectors are affected by we
ak respect of labour rights and have weak working conditions. In Bangladesh, the employers are even more hostile toward organizing workers than in Nepal. In addition, the “artificial offerisation” in Bangladesh, often means that managerial staff cannot
 join trade unions. Other hostile tactics are outsourcing and application of short term contracts. This project will develop union’s capacity to promote labour rights and working conditions through more effective organizing work, quality negotiation proc
esses and training.The project will conduct mapping studies which will enable designing effective recruitment programs. Unions will receive more and skilled organisers, new members, more women and new generation also ultimately to leadership positions. Ind
ustrial relations and negotiation processes will improve. New unions in new companies will receive support in cumbersome registration processes. Trade unions will learn from each other in between countries and sector boundaries.The project enhances NLC’s
 and BLC’s capacity to provide support to sector unions in conducting mapping, recruitment and negotiation processes in private service sector enterprises. Sector unions and their negotiators and organisers will benefit also.Project’s key administrator
s and coordinators are NLC and BLC, which will provide support to around ten sector unions in order to implement activities and gain results. Coordinated implementation and approach through NLC and BLC will benefit most UNI affiliates in financing, insuran
ce and in information and communication technology sector (ICTS).
F.a: Refugees in Nyanza Lac in Burundi Thousands of Burundian refugees are sent back to their homeland every year from the neighbouring countries. The project helps refugees in Nyanza Lac in Burundi to reintegrate in the country. They are offered help to build their own house and they are also 
given agricultural tools, seeds and mosquito nets. So far 270 households have benefitted from this help. A health station, which the returning refugees can benefit from, is getting equipped and renovated through the project. Sewing courses are arranged for
 young women who otherwise would have difficulties supporting themselves. When they finish the course they are given a sewing machine and can start earning money by sewing clothes. The project is supported in cooperation with Community of Pentecostal Churc
hes in Burundin (CEPBU). CEPBU has long experience of humanitarian aid and development projects.
F.a: Community information dialog project Inhabitants of rural communities in Liberia have limited access to general information such as government announcements in newspapers and publications; voter information; public health, sanitation, agricultural, education awareness campaigns; etc. Communit
ies have not organized collection and dissemination of such information. There are no public libraries or resource centers in rural communities, only in district and large rural centers. When information is available, the communities don’t have tructures
 and traditions to share discuss, secure and make written information available such as a library or information resource center. Public information issues are often not discussed amongst larger population to enlighten those who are not able to read and un
derstand the information. Public information is often distributed in such format and language that it is not easily understood by majority. The project aims to increase the access of rural population to information enabling active discussion and participat
ion in decision making on development issues affecting their lives. Communities access to general knowledge and information is increased by establishing small community knowledge libraries and by providing targeted information materials. Community discussi
on forums on targeted issues are organised and coordinated by the trained community information facilitators. The project is implemented in cooperation with National Adult Education association in Liberia (NAEAL) aiming also to increase its capacity to des
ign and produce education and information materials as well as to provide adult education services through developed sustainable open-ended extension for the earlier developed basic adult literacy program. The project will increase NAEAL’s presence in th
e community to facilitate any future delivery of adult education and / information dissemination activities eg voter education, WASH campaigns, government and civil society information campaigns. Beneficiaries will be 500 trained community information faci
litators and members of the 250 targeted communities in Bomi, Cape Mount, Montserrado, Margibi and Bong Counties.

F.a: Defending Water as a Human Right The project improves collaboration among trade unions of water services sector in the Andean region and Central America, and support their efforts to stop privatization of water and sanitation services. PSI together with its member unions support the idea 
of public water services as a basic human right that must be available to all people regardless of their ability to pay for it. PSI aims at getting right to water included in the national constitutions in all Latin American countries. The biggest challenge
s water sector unions have are the wide-spread intentions to privatize public water companies and the free trade agreements on services. A more recent challenge to sector’s workers is the fast pollution and exhaustion of water resources and its consequen
ces to the workers. During the previous project phase in the Andean region PSI together with its member unions managed to achieve many remarkable changes, for example in the fight against privatization, increasing the unions’ capacity to act, creating al
liances and networks, and improving cooperation among unions. Thanks to the project, also many NGOs started to take labor rights and Decent Work issues in their own agenda. This project promotes the rights, not only of water sector workers and trade unions
, but also of all citizens. Specifically, it defends the rights of the poorest as in general privatization of water services has impacted most the poorest people not able to pay market price for water. As a result of this project, water sector unions will 
have regional joint strategy to strengthen trade unions in the sector and to improve public water and sewage services. Trade unions have established alliances with NGOs and energy sector public trade unions, which gives them more visibility, credibility an
d power. Unions have better knowledge on new ways of privatization and are able to affront them. The direct beneficiaries of this project are water sector workers and trade unions in the Andean region and Central America. Indirectly the project benefits al
l consumers of public water services. The project is implemented by Public Services International (PSI) together with its member unions in the target countries.

F.a: Kishapu Community Empowerment Programme The project improves water harvesting and supply, promotes firewood saving methods, enhances the use of draught resistant crops and tree planting, sanitation and hygiene and creates better livelihood. The project is implemented by using community empowerme
nt methods which improves the capacity of the communities to work for sustainable development in a democratic way. Kishapu area has become a semi-arid region as consequence of climate change and human actions like overgrazing and cutting trees. This has le
d to unreliable rainfall, low crop production, environmental degradation and malnutrition within the project area. Particularly women and girls have been bound to spend their days in fetching water and firewood. The project looks for environmental friendly
, sustainable solutions to adapt to climate change and turn the vicious cycle to opposite direction. An old water supply system has been already renovated to supply water to villages. More public water points are constructed and other actions like sand dam
s and rain water tanks will be added. Water committees and organizations are trained to sustain the water systems. Communities are trained in hygiene and sanitation, latrines are constructed in order to raise the standard of living and reduce diseases. The
 project will directly benefit 31.500 inhabitants in 12 project villages. Also the neighboring villages will benefit from the project making the total number of indirect beneficiaries 12.000. The project is implemented by Tanganyika Christian Refugee Servi
ce TCRS which implements a large human rights based country program including community empowerment programs and refugee work.

Helping Ourselves Omatoimisuus The aim of the project is to improve the quality of live of the mentally handicapped children and their families and to influence the attitudes of the people in the area by providing them with more information. The main beneficiaries are the mentally handi
capped children in the area and their families. The indirect beneficiaries are the Nguna Women?s Group which is the partner organization of the project as well as the village community. The aim of the follow-up project is to solidify the attitudinal and co
ncrete changes we have accomplished by now: the children?s education and rehabilitation increase of awareness replacing the traditional beliefs with knowledge and the functioning of the newly-founded parent organization. In addition to that the aim is to b
uild a special education classroom and a dormitory connected to Msingi Primary School and help them get started. At the moment the children of the project go to school in Siuyu village which is expensive and difficult to the parents in the long run. The fo
llow-up project both develops the already existing operations and creates something completely new to the area in the form of special education. The project is located in the rural area of middle Tanzania where a majority of the population are uneducated f
armers. The project is in cooperation with a women?s group and focuses on lives of an extremely discriminated group the mentally handicapped. The change of attitudes in the community is progressing slowly. The changes already made are not stabilized enough
 in order to function without economical and social support from the outside. Hankkeen tavoite on parantaa kehitysvammaisten lasten ja heidän perheidensä elämänlaatua ja vaikuttaa alueen ihmisten asenteisiin tietoa lisäämällä. Hankkeen päähyödynsaajat ovat alueen kehitysvammaiset lapset sekä heidän perheensä. Välillis
inä hyödynsaajina ovat Nguna-naisjärjestö joka on hankkeen kumppanijärjestö sekä koko kyläyhteisö. Jatkohankkeen tavoite on vakiinnuttaa asennemuutos joka tähän mennessä on tapahtunut; lasten koulunkäyntiä kuntoutusta tietoisuuden lisäämist
ä traditionaalisten uskomusten korvaamista tiedolla sekä tukea vasta perustetun vanhempainyhdistyksen toimintaa. Lisäksi tavoitteena on rakentaa Msingi Primary schoolin yhteyteen erityisluokka ja asuntola sekä saattaa näiden toiminta alkuun. Tällä h
etkellä hankkeen lapset käyvät koulua Siuyun kylässä olevassa koulussa. Se on perheille kallista ja hankalaa. Jatkohanke kehittää olemassa olevaa toimintaa mutta luo myös alueelle täysin uutta erityisopetusta.Hanke sijoittuu Keski-Tansanian maaseu
dulle jossa suuri osa ihmisistä on kouluttamattomia viljelijöitä. Hanke toimii yhteistyössä naisjärjestön kanssa  ja paneutuu alueella erittäin syrjityn ryhmän kehitysvammaisten elämään. Yhteisössä tapahtuvat asennemuutokset etenevät hitaast
i.Jo aikaansaadut seikat eivät ole tarpeeksi vakiintuneet pystyäkseen toimimaan ilman ulkopuolista taloudellista ja sosiaalista tukea.
