FLC: Wajir Women for Peace - a gender perspective approach to violence against women and girls in Wajir County Social and cultural norms continue to undermine ongoing legal and administrative efforts helping to sustain gender inequalities which hinder women and girls from fully exercising their rights and make them vulnerable to preventable death and disability.Stu
dies show that the patriarchal system in Kenya and particularly among the Somali Community combined with absence of rights at the household level have made women and girls vulnerable to violence and it is time for every man woman and leaders in Kenya to st
art doing something to end the scourge of violence against women and girls in their homes and communities.FGM for example is an old age barbaric act that was and is still used to subdue and violate the rights of women in many counties. It is widely practic
ed by some communities in Kenya as a heritage of the past and is often associated with ethnic identity as a rite of passage. Despite horrors and life long consequences that it puts women through it is still practiced with impunity. In Kenya an estimated 27
.1% of girls and women aged 15-49 years have undergone FGM (DHS 2008- 09) a figure that has decreased from 37.6% % in 1998 and 32.2% in 2003. There are significant regional variations with prevalence ranges from 0.8% in the west to over 97% in the North-Ea
st (DHS 2008-09). The practice is particularly widespread among the Somalis in the North Eastern province (97.7%) with 75% having undergone Type III infibulation. The prevalence is also highest among the Kisii (96.1%) and the Maasai (73.2%)?.

Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Trust Fund Asekauppasopimus (ATT) vapaaehtoisrahasto 4. rahoituskausi Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) entered into force in December 2014. The Treaty underlines the need to prevent and eradicate the illicit trade in conventional arms and to prevent their diversion to the illicit market or for unauthorized end-users. A voluntary Trus
t Fund (VTF) was established at the Second Conference of the State Parties in August 2016. It assists States requiring international assistance to implement the Treaty. The VTF will assist in strengthening of legislation regulation and capacity building on
 arms export import and transit control in developing countries. It also tackles the illicit trade in arms. Finland contribute in 2017 EUR 300 000 to the VTF. Subject to parliamentary approval the contribution will be at the same level in 2018. The primary
 beneficiaries will be the governments that take part to capacity building activities. Strengthened security will on a long run benefit the whole population of the recipient country. Asekauppasopimuksen (Arms Trade Treaty ATT) tavoitteena on vahvistaa asekaupan valvontaa ja estää tavanomaisten aseiden joutuminen laittomille markkinoille tai luvattomaan loppukäyttöön.  ATT:n  vapaaehtoisrahasto (VTF) perustettiin vuonna 2016 avusta
maa osallistujamaita sopimuksen toimeenpanossa. Suomen apu rahastolle vuosina 2021-2023 on   720 000 euroa. Kyseessä Suomen neljäs rahoituskausi. Rahoitettavien projektien avulla on kyetty edistämään  laittoman asekaupan vastaista työtä kehitysmaiss
a mm. vahvistamalla asevalvontaan liittyvää sääntelyä sekä rakentamalla kapasiteettia viranomaisyhteistyön ja koulutuksen avulla.  Hankkeiden avulla on myös kehitetty asekauppaan liittyvää raportoitointia mikä lisää  kaupan läpinäkyvyyttä. 
 Erityisesti hankkeista ovat hyötyneet kehitysmaiden hallitukset sekä niiden vientivalvontaviranomaiset joiden kapasiteettia on vahvistettu koulutuksen avulla. Pidemmällä aikavälillä parantunut turvallisuus hyödyttää koko vastaanottajamaan väest
öä.
Programme for Institutional Cooperation between Higher Education Institutions (HEI ICI) Korkeakouluohjelma HEI ICI The long-term objective of the HEI ICI programme is to strengthen the performance of higher education institutions in the global south to support their ability to participate in the development of a stable functioning and egalitarian society.

 be reached through building competences based on local regional and national development needs and thus contributing to reduction of extreme poverty. The programme supports widely the Finland's development cooperation priority sectors; Improving the posit
ion of women and girls Supporting the democratic character and proper functioning of societies Promoting sustainable solutions in energy production and food and water supply and Reinforcing the private sector and employment. Through investing in research a
nd education is seen as investment in the long run for the developing of steady active and equal society. HEI ICI programme contributes HEIs participation in building stable efficient and equitable societies by enhancing human capacities for their own deve
lopment needs. Beneficiaries are the students and teachers in Southern higher education institutions who will benefit for improved quality of teaching access on information and services. Ohjelman tavoitteena on vahvistaa korkeakouluja kehittämällä niiden hallinto- tieteenalakohtaista metodologista ja pedagogista kapasiteettia laatua ja toimintakykyä sekä tutkimusympäristöä. Tavoitteena on myös lisätä tarjontaa ja tiedon ja koulu
tuksen saavutettavuutta. Suomalaiset ja kumppanimaiden korkeakoulut voivat yhdessä hakea rahoitusta opetusohjelmien opetusmenetelmien ja laadunseurantamekanismien kehittämiseen opetustarjonnan ja tiedon saavutettavuuden lisäämiseen tieteenalakohtaiseen
 vertaisoppimiseen ja asiantuntijuuden kasvattamiseen hallinto- ja johtajuusrakenteiden sekä korkeakoulujen yhteiskunnallisen roolin vahvistamiseen kumppanimaissa. Tavoitteena on myös vahvistaa kumppanimaiden korkeakoulujen toiminnallista kapasiteettia j
a lisätä laadukasta koulutusta jotta korkeakoulut voivat paremmin vastata opiskelijoiden määrän kasvusta johtuvaan kysyntään ja tarpeeseen. Ohjelman välittömiä hyödynsaajia ovat sekä korkeakoulujen henkilökunta että oppilaat.
F.a: Claiming The Right to Health in Uganda: The value of real synergies in legal rights, constitutional obligations and civil society activism ESC rights are fulfilled unevenly across the country and between different population groups, and in particular the most vulnerable groups are affected by the situation.

ntatives of the media will be capacitated especially health and intellectual property issues. The idea is that journalists would report based on facts of the rights and the challenges of health issues.Center for Health, Human Rights and Development CEHURD
