CO-NIGER: No Childs Play In Niger, in summary the project activies are defined as following :
1) Community involvement and dialogues : Assessment and dialogue with influential community leaders and service providers have been conducted regarding their perception on early marriage and girl education.
2) System Strengthening and Capacity building of duty bearers:In Niger a complaint committee and reporting mechanism have been established in all 5 villages which have helped prevent eight cases of early marriage to date.
3)Providing educational and vocational opportunities:training sessions were implemented with pedagogical training units in 5 schools to improve quality of education. 35 school administrators were trained on child rights, child
protection, gender sensitivity, positive discipline, and roles andresponsibilities. This resulted in child protection action plans that are being implemented. 20 teachers in 5 schools have been trained in child protection, including child marriage. In each village, functional literacy centres have been established.

husbands and fathers to promote their commitment towards preventing child marriage. Adolescents

Advocacy Initiative (IR) International Rivers  has played a key role in supporting civil society networks to understand hydro-power and to be better prepared to fight against bad projects, and advocate for their rivers and livelihoods. IR, along with Oxfam, has been key in supporting thedevelopment and operations of the regional Save the Mekong Coalition, and we continue to play a key convening and capacity buildingrole within that network. As a result of our ongoing campaigning to raise awareness in the region about the valueof the Mekong River and the need to protect this vital resource, regional governments have begun to recognize that critical knowledge gaps still remain in understanding dam impacts, and that timely scientific and economic analysis can help influence decision-making in the politicalrealm.
CO-Uganda Right to Food 2019-2020 The Country Office (C0- Uganda) will coordinate efforts of partners towards realization of the project goal and Oxfam's country andglobal vision. The country office will manage contracts, ensure partners' compliance,  connect partners with key influential institutions for strategic and effective influencing at national, regional and global levels, hold regular reviews and retreats with partners, actively organize <(>&<)> participate in field monitoring,  support documentation of results, coordinate <(>&<)> consolidate reports, seek strategic <(>&<)> technical support from thematic leaders for and behalf of the CO and partners .
In addition, the Office will take on the responsibility of spearheading the impact research on the pasture seeds model in Karamoja. This will bedone by commissioning periodic and vigorous researches on especially attitudes shifts in relations to pasture growing and determining the impacts of growing pastures on livestocks health, productivity and improved households nutrition.
HO-ELNHA Phase II This is a 2-year costed extension to the ELNHA Project. The ELNHA project aims to promote a more equal sharing of power and resources in the humanitarian sector between international humanitarian actors and local and national ones.
The underlying assumption is that empowering local and national humanitarian actors (LNHAs) to lead
emergency preparedness and responses in their own context will positively impact vulnerable people living in disaster and conflict prone areas, by providing faster and more appropriate humanitarian response.

In the wider policy sphere of the World Humanitarian Summit of 2016 and the ensuing Grand Bargain commitments, the concept of localization has been identified as a priority to make the humanitarian system more effective.
ELNHA is pursuing three main strategies which complement each other:
- STRENGTH concerns the collective and organizational capacity of LNHAs to design, lead and deliver humanitarian responses;
- VOICE relates to influencing the local and national humanitarian agenda through coordination and advocacy among LNHAs.
- SPACE is concerned with influencing the overall international humanitarian architecture in order to create anenabling environment for LNHAs.

In this second-phase of the Project, the aim is to capitalize on the past three years of learning,connections and networks to accelerate progress, and invest in greater sustainability and impact of project achievements.

Promoting GALS/WEMAN approach in Vietnam WEMAN/GALS has been implemented by Oxfam in Africa since 2005. GALS was introduced in Vietnam in 2014 and implemented in Dak Nong, Lao Cai, Ha Tinh and Bac Giang provinces in the project #Promoting GALS/WEMAN approach in Vietnam#. Since July 2015, the approach was introduced in Soc Trang and Ca Mau province within GRAISEA project.
Centre for Community Empowerment (CECEM) has been working in partnership with Oxfam to manage and implement the project #Promoting GALS/WEMAN approach in Vietnam#.  Besides, CECEM also provides technical consultancy service for GALS application in GRAISEA project.

In Dak Nong province,  GALS was piloted in four farmer groups with 78 members in 2 communes of Dak Glong District, Dak Nong province. 153 members of 4 white pig farming groups applied GALS forlivelihood improvement. In the meantime, Vietnam Women Union introduced GALS to 02 chicken raising collaborative in Bac Giang province and 02 vegetable planting cooperatives in Ha Tinh province. GALS also was applied to 8 shrimp cooperatives/collaborative in Soc Trang province and 6 shrimp ones in Ca Mau province.

After the piloting period, some positive changes have been seen at all three levels including individual, household and  group. In particular, male members haveinitially recognized unsuitable labor division in the family and started to share houseworks with their wives.  Some of groups in Bac Giang and Lao Cai have started to apply GALS1 for group cooerpation in value chain development. Besides, a group of localGALS facilitators have been built capacity for facilitatingGALS1 application in groups and household. Neverthless, the implementation of GALS in Soc Trang and Ca Mau has not yet created the cooperation within/among groups in particular and posive changesat all levels in general. It is essential to further strengthen GALS1 application in all project provinces as well as pilot GALS 2 for women economic empowerment through value chain enhancement. The documentation of GALS application process is very important for advocacy activities of scaling up GALS
