Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) The aim is to strengthen public sector trade union in Namibia so that it can effectively respond and confront the violations of workers' rights in public sector that result from the neoliberal policies implemented by Namibian government. Besides that, the 
project aims at improving the capacity of union's shop stewards to solve workers' problems at work place level. Restructuring of public services and neoliberal policies of the government have accelerated the weakening of working conditions in the public se
ctor through contract agency labor and out-sourcing. Public workers' union NAPWU has not been able to influence enough these processes.  The capacity of union's shop stewards to defend workers in work places is low, which also weakens the credibility of th
e union.  The project strengthens the public workers? trade union and its capacity to advocate and influence quality public services and defense of workers. As result of the project, 60 shop stewards are trained, union membership increases by 5 %, an incre
asing number of workers' problems are solved in the work place level by shop stewards, the union has conducted a research on public restructuring and its impact on workers, and has developed a proposal and strategy on alternative models to guarantee qualit
y public services and decent work for workers. The project benefits public sector workers in Namibia and the members of public workers union NAPWU. The project is implemented by public workers union NAPWU together with global public workers Federation PSI.
 The same partners implemented the planning phase of this project in 2014.

Regular printed publications Kehitys-Utveckling magazine The realisation of the objectives of Finland's development policy requires support from citizens and their confidence in the effectiveness and potential impact of any actions taken.  The MFA's Development Communications Unit is responsible for raising publ
ic awareness about global development issues and the objectives themes and results of Finland's development policy  Effective development communications require that medium and message meet citizen and stakeholder needs that texts be written in clear langu
age and that each message be tailored to its target group.  Information is made available not only through traditional official channels but also via social media and at public events.  Specific programmes are being prepared to help the media learn about d
evelopment issues and development cooperation.  Kehitys-Utveckling comes out four times a year. The majority of the articles and pictures in the magazine are purchased from external suppliers and the layout and textual editing are acquired from outsiders.

Frame Agreement with NGO (Foundation for Human Rights/KIOS) The evaluation of legislation of ESC rights, Public interest litigation, advocacy , the organization's support . Hakijamii, in its project, focuses on the right to health, water and sanitation, and implementations of these rights. The Constitution defines 
the part of health care as a fundamental right for all citizens, but especially among the poor the unavailability of services is a major problem. The development process of the nationwide network of water distribution network, in turn, has suffered from in
efficiency, corruption and mismanagement. One of the downturn was, when  along with the Water Act in the 2002, the water privatizations occurred. From the lack of clean water and sanitation suffer both rural and urban slums, and in particular the marginali
zed groups. Kenya's estimated population of 42 million, about 30% now live in cities, and the urbanization is rapid. Slums have been incorporated into urban planning and budgeting, and residents have very little chance of the health, education and other ba
sic services. It is estimated that only 20 per cent of slum residents have the opportunity to have permanently clean water and slum residents also pay out of the water several times more compared to other residents. The project aims to promote economic and
 social rights implementation. The aim is both to improve the State's procedures for new policies and legislation, as well as through the adoption of improving the economic and social rights, the implementation of fundamental rights through the bringing of
 the action. The project beneficiaries are the most vulnerable groups whose needs are taken into account in the content promoted laws, women, the elderly, the disabled, children, young people and minorities, and other vulnerable groups. Hakijamii was found
ed in 2004 to fill the gap in Kenya to deal between the organizations, which focuses on the human rights field, and on the other hand the organizations that handle the economic and social problems in a non-legal perspective.
Frame agreement with NGO (Demo Finland) Demo?s programme in Tanzania enhances cross-party cooperation of women. It supports a forum for dialogue between the different parties? women?s wings, facilitated by the Tanzania Women?s Cross-party Platform (T-WCP). The Platform is currently growing into 
a well-known instance in addressing issues related to gender equality in national politics, while also coordinating training workshops and discussion forums for aspiring female politicians at district-level. Studies have shown that one of the biggest obsta
cles to women's political participation is a lack of networks. Women from different political parties have previously had little cooperation, but now they sit together for the first time thinking about how to strengthen gender equality and women?s position
 in political decision-making.  Furthermore, considering the recent political tension in the country, there is also a need to promote peaceful dialogue between all political parties in order to support further consolidation of multiparty democracy and to p
revent possible future acts of violence. In the coming years, the Platform will organize joint campaigns and training activities at local level to raise the voice of women in politics. With Demo?s support, the Platform functions resolutely to channel women
's joint concerns into national politics. For formulation of these concerns and joint advocacy messages, the Platform also aims to increase the level of interaction and collaboration between local and national level female politicians.  Support is also dir
ected to local-level in Platform?s three working districts of Masasi, Zansibar and Kyela.  Here the objective is to improve the skills and confidence of women to participate as aspirants in next elections.

Frame agreement with NGO (Demo Finland) The objective of the project is to strenghthen inclusive democracy and youth participation in politics in Tunisia. This will be done through the Tunisian School of Politics (TSoP) which aims at enhancing political youth's capacity and constructive, policy 
oriented engagement in politics. The TSoP targets young people already active in political parties and consists of courses that provide youth politicians with increased knowledge of multiparty politics and democratic practices. The school provides particip
ants with the necessary skills and tools to influence political decision-making in a more effective manner. Moreover, through the TSoP, Tunisian youth politicians gain practical experience in policy development and public consultation. The TSoP is expected
 to improve the visibility of youth representatives of political parties to the electorate through supporting them in developing clear and concise policy proposals and making their voice heard in political decision-making as well as within their mother par
ties. When youth politicians have the necessary means to advance issues important to young Tunisians in politics it is anticipated that youth issues will gain a more central place in Tunisian politics and that awareness among young people in the democratic
 system and political parties will be enhanced. This in turn is expected to lead to increased youth participation in politics.
