Application for support in monitoring, evaluation & communications Protimos addresses impoverishment issues that can be resolved by the use of the law in the public interest, in IPRs and Biodiversity, and in Governance. We would now like to develop our capacity to measure and assess the impact of our Public Interest project in Lesotho as a new benchmark. We would like to communicate this impact more widely, sharing information and knowledge with those who need it and enabling us, to gain more funding, for existing and new projects, for the social investor and the philanthropist. Investment in our impact assessment programme and improving our communications will enable us to articulate and disseminate the work more widely. Consequently legal and international development professions and organisations will be able to work more closely and efficiently with indigenous and marginalized communities, CSOs, multi-national corporations, specialist lawyers, anthropologists, economists and financial institutions. In acquiring the skills and the resources which enable us to measure and describe the impact of the work, we can thus build support for legal empowerment, whilst developing a greater depth of analysis and clearer articulation for the social impact investor in African legal empowerment work.
Investing in Futures: Inclusive Education for Children with Disabilities in Tanz Children with disabilities are arguably the largest & hardest to reach group of marginalised children.  They are also some of the most vulnerable.  The project is designed to ensure the inclusion of children with disabilities within mainstream education. Whole school health & learning assessments will take place to ensure those with hidden, mild, or misdiagnosed disabilities are identified & the appropriate educational or infrastructure support is put in place. 1000 children with disabilities will be enrolled  in school & communities & district education staff supported to better provide support structures and manage schools for future inclusion of all children in school.

IDE UK Organisational Development Initiative International Development Enterprises - UK (IDE-UK) is part of the IDE International family. Since 2003 it has been supporting its international country offices in work that seeks to increase the incomes of poor farmers, strengthen co-operative structures, innovate with new irrigation technologies and improve access to new markets. After a successful start based on funding from DfID, in 2007 the founder left and IDE-UK contracted substantially. An organisational review was undertaken in 2008, which resulted in an organisational strategy (2009-2013). The key focus of the strategy is on improving the funding base and reducing reliance on project overheads/administration budgets to fund core costs. Financial management upgrades and capacity to influence UK and international policy debates are also important objectives. The thrust of this application is to enable IDE-UK to strengthen the role of Trustees and staff leadership to drive the implementation of the strategy. If this is successful the organisation will be able to broaden its funding sources, increase its visibility and influence and reach its goal of doubling income for 250,000 poor rural households.
Quality Education Programme in the DRC Many rural primary schools in the DRC are very poorly equipped and run; resulting in high dropout rates for children and poor results in examinations. Parental involvement is minimal, and Government priorities lie elsewhere.  The overall aim of the project is to improve access and retention of rural children, and sustain education provision in 24 primary schools in Southern DR Congo by 2020 by promoting effective teaching and learning, achieving meaningful participation of children, teachers, parents and their communities in developing and implementing school improvement plans. Special attention will be paid to girls' retention in school and accessibility for pupils from minority groups and those with disabilities.
Unlocking Zimbabwe?s Organic Potential - climate change addendum Zimbabwe imports organic products from neighbouring countries to meet growing domestic demand; at the same time 75% of Zimbabweans who rely on agriculture as their main source of income are barely able to produce at subsistence level and many are forced to barter for food. The vital knowledge of natural agricultural practices and pool of labour experienced to produce organically has been reduced by mass migration to cities and neighbouring countries caused by poverty.  Costly chemical approaches to farming are ill suited to the poor conditions experienced by farmers on communal lands and further reduce soil fertility and increase susceptibility of crops to pests and drought. This project will support resource-poor farmers to produce more crops without dependence on chemicals. It will also support the farmers to form farmer associations through which they can share learning, work together to overcome barriers to market access, and raise their issues with policy makers, charities, buyers and the media. Activities undertaken by the local partners will increase the awareness of consumers, institutional buyers, the media and policy makers of the positive links between organic agriculture and climate change mitigation. They will also put in place measures to link farmers to markets and remove potential barriers. The project will not only increase household food security and income of the targeted farmers mentioned above but also farmers trained during a pilot project and other small scale farmers across Zimbabwe. In addition, the project will increase demand for organic products, improve farmer's cash flow and market linkages, and galvanise government support for the sector.
Ipaja Special Needs Social Enterprise & Empowerment Project Some disabled children in Nigeria go to special units in primary schools. Sadly there are not enough to meet the need and there is no support for the children on their parents when school finishes.  This project will pilot ideas to prepare them for life in back in the community. Training facilities will be provided within a special unit to teach skills for work such as shoe making and tailoring. And apprenticeships will be negotiated within the community for them to learn skills. Additional support will be provided to ensure that the products are marketed and sold to ensure profit.  The project will be carefully monitored with a view to replicating it in other units and schools.
Ingwavuma Orphan Care & Home Based Care This bridging (1-year) grant will allow time & resources for a thorough external evaluation of the 5-year Comic Relief project (ends Nov2011) and the work as a whole, and inform a subsequent 3-year bid (in Feb 2012) to Comic Relief, while providing funding for key services to continue during 2011. The AIDS epidemic has infected 29% of the KwaZuluNatal population and has affected the whole population. As young adults die, the old are left to care for thousands of orphans without a breadwinner in the house. However, access to antiretroviral treatment means that many people living with HIV are becoming healthier again and are looking for ways to support their families. Jobs are scarce with an unemployment rate over 80% so this presents a challenge. Isibani Sethemba is a grass roots organisation which brings hope to thousands by providing home based care to the sick, empowering people with HIV to run support groups, improving relationships between men and women through couples counselling, running a youth centred mobile HIV testing unit and helping the community to care for its orphans. This project aims to further increase the capacity of people with HIV to respond to the epidemic.
Seinoli: Lesotho Dams and Environmental Justice Project Phase 1 of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP), which supplies water to South Africa, forcibly displaced more than 50,000 poor subsistence farmers living in the dam areas. A compensation and resettlement package was agreed with these communities. But in reality, there have been serious delays and what has actually been offered has been inadequate. The result is that thousands of families have been made destitute.  These communities, used to farming and keeping livestock, and with little experience of a cash economy, have been resettled within slum settlements – many of which are now blighted by toxic waste discharge from factories.   This project will build on a recent record of success in conducting corruption trials in Lesotho related to LHWP, and aims to ensure that forcibly displaced families and communities get better, and timely, compensation. The project will also tackle the government and businesses on improving toxic pollution control.  The project will work with and build the capacity of existing community co-operative societies of the displaced highlanders, and train them in awareness of their rights, legal processes, communication, and negotiation skills. A new organisation formed of forcibly removed highlanders will be supported to become a stronger voice of the people. Local lawyers will be trained in public interest law. As a result of this multi-pronged approach, communities will experience improvements in their lives and they will be more able to stand up for their rights, and expertise in public-interest law, not previously present in Lesotho, will have been created to defend people's rights in the future.
Reintegrating Nepalese Child Domestic Workers There are more than 60,000 child domestic workers under the age of 14 in Nepal. The majority are girls living in poor conditions, without education, isolated from their families and who are vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse. This project will return over a thousand ‘live-in' child domestic workers to their families, and will protect thousands more children at risk of entering domestic work.   They will work with employers, law enforcers, teachers and policy-makers to reduce demand for child domestic workers, while at the same time working in sending areas with families and communities to ensure children are able to continue living in stable, family environments with access to quality services. As a result, fewer children will face having to work in domestic service and duty bearers will be better able to address this issue in the long term.
African Storybook consolidation Saide's African Storybook project provides open access to hundreds of storybooks for children.Each book can be translated in another language via their website, formats & illustrations changed or even new stories uploaded.This has enabled stories from teachers, parents, professionals & children to be developed & uploaded. The storybooks are used in a wide variety of ways.With text removed or simplified, stories can be shared with very young children, using mother tongue translations supports early reading skills and dual language translations can support English learning -as part of the formal curriculum. This work provides resources where very few exist, to support learning & govt provision
Improving access to treatment & support for people with epilepsy Thousands of children and adults live as outcasts in misery and poverty because of the devastating impact of epilepsy.  Complications such as malaria, meningitis and birth problems lead to many people developing epilepsy – about 60,000 in all. Most people think it is demonic or a mental illness, and suffers are often locked up in psychiatric hospitals or ostracised from schools and gaining employment. Many epileptics end up with horrible injuries and disabilities because of accidents during a fit, or have to wait over five years for treatment. Through this project, children and adults with epilepsy will get life-changing support and treatment in Sierra Leone. The programme will train workers to counsel, advice and treat people with epilepsy. Awareness of the illness will be raised in schools, places of worship and communities to help people understand epilepsy and stop discrimination. Affected families will be supported to better understand the illness and workers in government clinics and hospitals will be trained to treat epilepsy patients. A media campaign will further raise public awareness. The project will lobby government to provide money and services for effective epilepsy treatment, and as a result of the awareness-raising campaign, find acceptance in their communities.
Oromia Coffee and Dairy Development Project (OCDDP): promoting gender and entrep Coffee is Ethiopia’s greatest export earner.  In spite of many farmers being organized in Fairtrade cooperatives, coffee yields, quality and incomes remain low.  Women’s membership is minimal and they do not see the income from their labour in coffee.  This project addresses the root causes of persistent barriers to improve coffee production and income for men and women, and diversification of income from dairy through practical training.  Working with the largest cooperative union in Ethiopia, the project will build their capacity to service their members to improve quality and combat climate change, distribute coffee seedlings, diversify income and increase women’s participation.
Tuwekeze Pamoja: Working together to give children in Tanzania a better start to For a child growing up in rural Tanzania the chance of staying in school and achieving the grades needed to go to secondary school is low. This project aims to give children from birth to age 6 the best possible start to life by working with parents, schools, communities and government to promote a safe and conducive environment for learning - at home and school. There is a large investment in research to understand what inputs at this early age really make a difference, with an opportunity to influence government policy and wider practice in early childhood development. As a result of the project, children will be able to thrive and fulfil their potential.

Provision of essential humanitarian aids into Gaza through increased fleet and logistical capacity ltpgtThis project aims to increase the aid transport capacity to deliver vital aid and services to people across the Gaza Strip through procurement of additional 30 trucks. The additional trucks are urgently required to allow for a substantial logistical augmentation of the commodities entered into Gaza from Kerem Shalom and distributed through the Gaza Strip. Since the re-opening of the crossings, the UN system has had to manage heightened security incidents at the crossing which led to major damage to the fleet that disseminates critical aid to Gaza. Many of the existing UN assets have also been decimated by the conflictltspangt. lt/spangtltspangtThe shortage of trucks, coupled with the increasing number of emergency shelters and IDPs (currently up to 1.9 million IDPs inside and outside of UNRWA shelters, most of them receiving UNRWA assistance), has made distribution of aid increasingly challenging, leading UNRWA to resort to other options such as using UNRWA buses and outsourcing transport services to meet the demand to deliver assistance to the affected population. lt/spangtltspangtThe additional procurement of trucks is essential to increase the logistical capacity of not only UNRWA but the UN system and its partners to fulfil the request for additional commodities into Gaza to close the gap on the humanitarian crisis.lt/spangtlt/pgt
