FLC: Responding to Issues of the Missing in Lebanon and Syria with Effective Transitional Justice Mechanisms PYM: Kadonneita henkilöitä koskeva siirtymävaiheen oikeus Libanonissa ja Syyriassa Lebanese authorities and the civil society have been debating what kind mechanisms would be needed to respond to the requests of the families of the persons who have gone missing during the civil war and thereafter in Lebanon. Currently the civil war in Sy
ria raises new questions related to transitional justice in the region and it will eventually become topical to respond to the issue of the disappeared in Syria. International Center for Transitional Justice has through its Beirut Office participated in th
e debate on the disappeared in Lebanon. As a result of the deliberations so far a process of a draft bill on the disappeared has been announced in the Lebanese Parliament in spring 2014. It foresees the establishment of a Institute for Missing Persons in L
ebanon. The aim of the project is to draft a budget for the proposed Institute for Missing Persons which could be a reference for the Lebanese authorities and the civil society. The project will be implemented by ICTJ?s Beirut Office (ICTJ-Lebanon). It wil
l be primarily carried out in Lebanon but it will also include comparative analysis of other countries and it will benefit from ICTJ?s international ?Truth and Memory Reparations Program?. As situations in Lebanon and Syria have implications for each other
 the project will also engage Syrian actors in Lebanon. The project aims to give technical assistance in order to prepare them to address the issue of the disappeared when the conditions in Syria so allow. Libanonissa viranomaiset ja kansalaisjärjestöt ovat käyneet keskustelua mekanismeista joilla vastattaisiin kadonneiden henkilöiden omaisten vaatimuksiin sisällissodan aikaisten ja tämän jälkeen tapahtuneiden katoamisten selvittämisestä ja korvauk
sista. Samaan aikaan Syyriassa vastaavat kysymykset ovat nousemassa esille ja tulevat ajankohtaisiksi sisällissodan päätyttyä. International Center for Transitional Justice -järjestön maatoimisto Beirutissa on osallistunut kadonneita henkilöitä kos
kevaan selvitystyöhön Libanonissa. Työn tuloksena Libanonin parlamenttiin on keväällä 2014 tuotu luonnos kadonneita henkilöitä koskevaksi laiksi jonka mukaan maahan tulisi perustaa toimielin omaisten vaatimuksiin vastaamiseksi. Hankkeen tavoitteena
 olisi laatia budjettiarvio ehdotetulle toimielimelle Libanonin viranomaisten ja kansalaisjärjestöjen hyödynnettäväksi. Hankkeen toimeenpanisi ICTJ:n Libanonin-toimisto ja se sijoittuisi Libanoniin mutta siinä hyödynnettäisiin vertailua toisiin maa
tilanteisiin ja ICTJ:n kansainväliseen ?Truth and Memory Reparations? -ohjelmaan. Koska Libanonin ja Syyrian tilanteilla on useita yhtymäkohtia hankkeella kyettäisiin luomaan yhteyksiä myös Libanonissa oleviin syyrialaistoimijoihin. Heille annettaisii
n teknistä tukea jonka tavoitteena olisi valmistella Syyriassa kadonneiden omaisia sisällissodan päättymisen jälkeiseen aikaan.
F.a: Strenghtening civil society in Asia for increased child protection This is a programme on the follow up of the recommendations of United Nations study on Violence against Children (UN-VAC), and it is currently being implemented through 4 regional projects; and it aims to contribute to the prevention and elimination of VAC
 in Africa, Asia and Latin America. VAC is one of the most serious problems affecting children.  Much violence is still hidden, and children and their representatives often are not able to report acts of violence for fear of retribution by their abusers an
d due to lack of independent, child friendly and safe reporting mechanisms. The UN-VAC study recommendation urged states to “prohibit all forms of violence against children in all settings.” Many governments and key actors in these regions have taken s
teps to address violence against children, making commitments through international and regional instruments. However these efforts have been slow and uncoordinated. Besides, very few efforts are made so far at regional level to strategically address VAC. 
Hence, this programme strengthens the capacity and networking of civil society organizations, children and youth groups and law enforcement institutions, and creates opportunities for shaping a joint advocacy platform to lobby for increased commitment towa
rds effective child friendly and gender sensitive child protection mainly at national and regional levels.  The overall programme implementation is led by Plan regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, in close collaboration with regional and nat
ional CSO networks and children and youth groups.
F.a: Moxico Integrated Sustainable Livelihoods and Empowerment Project The project aims at strengthening the rights of the IDP´s, returnees and the targeted communities in the Lunda Sul and Moxico provinces in eastern Angola.Angola's 27-year civil war destroyed the political and community structures in the rural areas in par
ticular and left 1.8 million people as refugees. The peace agreement in 2002 led to repatriation and reconstruction, but the war-torn areas are still highly under-developed.The project areas are among the poorest in the country and their biggest challenges
 are land mines, organization of repatriation, low financial and human capabilities, lack of infrastructure and basic services, as well as the lack of administrative structures in remote areas. By empowering the targeted communities the project aims at inc
reasing the capacity of communities to promote human rights and to advocate for increased access to social services. As a result of the project the targeted residents are trained, their skills have been developed and basic services improved. The communitie
s have been empowered.The beneficiaries of the project are the residents of the Lunda Sul and Moxico provinces.The project is implemented by the Lutheran World Federation Angola Program, which has over 25 years of experience in disaster relief and repatria
tion of refugees and returnees, especially in Lunda Sul and Moxico states in eastern Angola.
Creating Environmental Culture to Empower the Youth in Tanzania (CECE) CECE II - Ympäristö Terveys ja Informaatioteknologia There are 250 AIDS orphan youths in the project region villages. Due to the lack of social security they have been placed into their relative families where there already are many children and lack of food. The AIDS orphans live in an environmental disaste
r area. The livelihood of the family is based on the grazing of the cattle. Overgrazing erosion caused by rainstorms and draught caused by the irregularity of the rainy seasons reduce the pastures. The project will empower the AIDS orphans with more attitu
de skills and tools to improve their living environment and it strengthens their self-esteem as important members of the community. This also enables the sufficient feed of the grazing cattle with fodder. The project also offers the AIDS orphan youths food
 assistance. With the help of the project new environmentally-centered afternoon club activities will be launched. The new base will be the club house called Jericho in the Ekenywa village owned by WEPA (Women Educational  Project of Arumeru) situated alon
g the highway approximately 14 km from Arusha to the direction of Nairobi. The AIDS orphan youths from  Ekenywa Lengijave ja Elikureti villages will gather for four hours twice a month after school to the club house to receive food and environmental educat
ion. In addition the project will organize the youth practical exercises  on environmental protection in smaller groups. The emphasis of the education is to prevent erosion and to restore forests on the high plateau savanna. CECE-projektin maasaikylissä orpoja lapsia ja nuoria on nyt enemmän kuin projektin alkaessa vuonna 2014. Kaksi kertaa kuukaudessa toteutettaviin ympäristöiltapäiviin on osallistunut kuhunkin  keskimäärin 150 lasta ja nuorta. Vuositasolla koulutusker
toihin osallistuneiden määrä on ollut n. 3500. CECE II - projektissa on tavoitteena vuosien 2017 - 2020 aikana laajentaa koulutusta terveyskasvatukseen sekä informaatioteknologiaan. Koulutuksen kokonaisvolyymiä emme kuitenkaan pyri lisäämään. Tavo
itteenamme on innostaa paikallista yhteisöä kehittämään itse orpojen lasten ja nuorten oloja pienen siemenrahan ja jaetun osaamisen avulla.  Toiminnan rungon muodostaa kaksi kertaa kuukaudessa toteutettavat CECE-koulutusiltapäivät Jeriko - nimisess
ä orpojen iltapäiväkeskuksessa.  CECE II - projektin ympäristöiltapäivien opetuksesta vastaavat edelleen paikalliset ympäristöasiantuntijat. Terveyskasvatuksen organisoinnista huolehtii suomalainen lääkäri jolla on erityisasiantuntemusta kehitys
maiden terveydenhuollosta ja trooppisista taudeista. Informaatioteknologian koulutuksen käynnistämisestä ja ohjaamisesta vastaa suomalainen asiantuntija jolla on pitkä kokemus tietoverkkojen pedagogisesta opetuskäytöstä. CECE II - projektin painotuk
set vuosille 2017-2020 toteutetaan seuraavasti: vuonna 2017 - ympäristö 50% terveys 25% ja ICT 25% vuonna 2018 - ympäristö 25% terveys 25%  ja ICT 50% vuonna 2019: ympäristö ja ICT 25% sekä terveys 75% vuonna 2020: ympäristö ja ICT 25% sekä terve
ys 75%.
F.a: Peace and Tolerance in Schools The project is a continuation of the project Peace and Tolerance in Schools implemented in 2013-2014. MISSEH has for several years already been developing a process promoting the tolerance and peace education among the children and youth of most marginalis
ed neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince and its surroundings. In order to achieve the sustainability of the results of earlier work it is important to continue the peace and education in schools and active promotion of violence prevention and advocacy to reduce
 poverty, one of the generators of conflicts. Also due to the high vulnerability of children and women in Haiti, it is very important that the gender-based violence is addressed and the project aims at consolidating the achievements in education, training 
and sensitisation of men, women and children to prevent, resist and reduce gender-based violence.   The project will train teachers, school administrators and sports instructors in peace and tolerance education methods. The training will provide the teache
rs with skills and methods to conduct conflict management and tolerance sessions in schools. The teaching tools for peace and tolerance education will also be developed and Peacemaker Networks will be established to the participating schools, bringing toge
ther the different actors participating in the project. The sports instructors will organise sports events for the youth of the project area, including those with no access to education, with the aim of promoting peace and tolerance. There will be activiti
es directed to parents of the students to train them in conflict management. Also leaders of religious missions and men and women of the communities are trained in gender equity and women’s rights. In addition, psychosocial support will be provided to wo
men and victims of gender-based violence.Rights-holders /beneficiaries: Teachers, school administrators, sport monitors, children and youth and their families in marginalised neighbourhoods of Port au Prince and its surroundings.Implementing partner:La Mis
sion Sociale des Eglises Haïtiennes (MISSEH)
F.a: Project for Improving Women’s Livelihood (PIWL) The project will have the overall objective to alleviate poverty in Myanmar through maximising the role of women in rural development. This will be achieved through the facilitation of the formation of Women Groups (WGs) that are able to mobilise resources
 to support village development works, and by increasing their capacity to have increased participation in village level decision making processes. The WGs will also be supported in networking with government, village and township authorities, by taking tr
aining in leadership, networking, and proposal writing skills.  Secondly the project will focus on empowering women to obtain improved and sustainable socio-economic livelihoods.Based on the assessment done in the project area’s women groups following th
e pilot phase, it was evident that women members understand the importance of the group and how the savings and credit scheme can support to improve their livelihoods. The groups want more intensive facilitation and support in the areas of management, book
 keeping, entrepreneurship skills, linking with other actors - basically to connect to markets and legalising the women’s groups. Expected results are:• Women’s Groups are able to mobilise resources to support village development works and have incre
ased participation in village level decision-making process.• Women increase skills and knowledge in village development decisions-making and activities.• Villagers knowledge increased on women rights.Rights-holders /beneficiaries: 18 Women’s Groups 
with 360 women members, as well as the families of the women: children, youth, elderly. Implementing partner:Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Myanmar has been working in Myanmar since 2008 in responding to Cyclone Nargis in the Ayeyarwaddy Delta. LWF Myanma

F.a: Organising Transport Sector in Thailand The project develops union cooperation and trade unions in the Thai transport sector with the aim that the worker groups in public and private transport companies will get organised.The political situation in Thailand has been subject to continuing changes
, conflicts and even military coups for a long time. This has resulted in weak union structures and development, low organizing rates particularly in the private sectors and weak operational capacity.  This project will enhance union capacities, recruitmen
t union cooperation and joint action. Particularly the private sectors and atypical work forms will be will be addressed.By educating trainers, the project ensures the forming of a permanent and efficient organizer pool (45 trainers) and a network, tailore
d and planned organizer campaigns and basic training for trade unions. This way, the increase in members, the presence of the labour movement in new transport companies and the start of collective bargaining is guaranteed. The cooperation between old and n
ew unions supports member recruitment as a whole.    Beneficiaries are the organised and unorganised workers, trained organisers, TU activists and their unions in the transport sector (railway, road transport, subway, money transport, harbor and airways). 
ITF pays special attention to the participation of the young and aims at a 30% share of female participants in all project operations. The main partner is the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and its ten affiliates in Thailand.
