African Development Bank (AfDB) 7th General Capital Increase Afrikan kehityspankin (AfDB) 7. Pääomakorotus The Governors of AfDB  mandated the Bank to start negotiations on the 7th capital Increase in the annual meeting in 2018. The decision on the 125 % capital Increase was approved 31.10.2019 in Abidjan. With this Capital Increase the Bank is able to increase
 its lending to 86 billion euros yearly. AfDB's priorities are aligned with the Agenda 2030 and SDGs as well as Finland's development policy priorities. 40 % of the Bank's resources are counted as climate finance 50 % of this mitigation and 50 % adaptation
. The shareholders of the Bank will pay in 6 % of the capital increase and 94 % will be  callable capital. Finland will subscribe 39248 shares which is equal to 0469 % shareholding. This is equal to paid in capital of 23 550 000 UA (295 MEUR) and callable 
capital of 368 930 000 UA  (460 834 155 EUR) AfDBn kuvernöörit antoivat mandaatin käynnistää neuvottelut seitsemännestä pääomakorotuksesta vuoden 2018 vuosikokouksessa. Päätös pankin seitsemännestä 125 % pääomakorotuksesta hyväksyttiin yksimielisesti 31.10.2019 ylimääräisessä kuv
ernöörien kokouksessa Abidjanissa. Korotetun pääoman turvin pankki pystyy nostamaan vuosittaisen lainanannon noin 86 miljardin euron tasolle. AfDB:n prioriteetit vastaavat hyvin YK:n kestävän kehityksen tavoitteita sekä Suomen kehityspoliittisia pai
nopisteitä. Suomen neljästä kehityspoliittisesta painopisteestä korostuvat erityisesti ruokaturvan ja energian saatavuuden parantaminen sekä kehitysmaiden talouselämän kehittäminen etenkin yksityinen sektori ja työpaikkojen luominen. Sukupuolten t
asa-arvon parantaminen on pankin toiminnassa vahva poikkileikkaava prioriteetti samoin ilmastonmuutoksen hillintä ja siihen sopeutuminen. Ilmastotoimiin ohjataan 40 % pankin rahoituksesta joista 50 % hillintään ja 50 % sopeutumiseen. Kuten edellisissä 
pääomakorotuksissa jäsenmaat osallistuvat korotukseen suorittamalla 6% käteismaksun ja kirjaamalla 94% takuupääoman. Suomi merkitsee seitsemännessä pääomakorotuksessa yhteensä 39248 osaketta joka vastaa 0.469 % omistusosuutta.Tämä merkitsee et
tä Suomen käteisosuus Afrikan kehityspankin seitsemännessä pääomakorotuksessa on yhteensä 23 550 000 UA eli n. 295 miljoonaa euroa ja takuupääomaosuus on 368 930 000 UA eli n. 460 834 155 euroa.

F.a: Economic empowerment for social justice: support efforts of the women in Southern Lalitpur to scale up business initiatives and combat inequality 1. Project: 12057 Economic empowerment for social justice: Supporting efforts of the women in Southern Lalitpur to scale up their business initiatives and combat inequality.2. Project area and Country: Southern Lalitpur, Nepal                              
              3. Project justification: The social and development indicators of Lalitpur district as a whole, in general, are above the average status of Nepal. Nevertheless, the Southern part of the Lalitpur district is characterized by limited access, h
igh concentration of the socially marginalized groups (Janajatis, Dalits), the prevalence of the caste and gender-based discrimination and inequalities including domestic violence resulting into higher poverty and marginalization. Women are one of the most
 marginalized groups with very limited participation, network, and opportunity. Moreover, the control of women in production resources is extremely low.  4. The main objective and the expected results:The main objective is to increase influence and dignity
 of women in southern Lalitpur through consolidation of achievements on access to finance, business and market skills, and promoting gender justice. To achieve this goal, the project will enhance the access of women to affordable finance through consolidat
ion of capacity of twelve women’s cooperatives. Thematic trainings to key stakeholders will include account management, product and business development, gender based violence (GBV) reduction, inclusion of people living with disabilities, etc. The projec
t will carry out several advocacy activities to overcome GBV and promote meaningful participation of women in the communities by implementing family and CBOs dialogues targeting men of the localities. Additionally, there will be a close cooperation with th
e GBV sub-committees and Judicial Committee at the local government on monitoring of GBV cases, reporting child marriage and supporting women victims of violence to access justice. Likewise, advocacy will take place at local government level for encouragin
g local producers to promote pest-free production.5. Right-holders/beneficiaries: 4,500 women Duty bearers: Rural municipalities, local government’s agencies, CBOs 6. Implementing partner: Society of Local Volunteers’ Effort (SOLVE) and Federation of W

The IJC mission is to facilitate the development of an informed s
ociety by strengthening a free and viable press including new media by means of projects that provide education in journalism and public relations advocacy media campaigns research media literacy and non-profit journalistic products.Overall expected result
: by the end of the project media consumers will be more aware of instruments of manipulation and disinformation used by the media. Media consumers will be better able to assess media content critically.Specific results:1.Critical thinking is promoted amon
g media consumers via professional content distributed on the Mediacritica platform;2. Teachers and pupils develop better media literacy skills by using professional resources on media literacy available on Media Education Online Platform;3. Media consumer
s develop media literacy skills by reporting media content they consider biased false discriminatory obscene hate-inducing etc.4. Media consumers including people with visual impairments will have access to professional content aimed to fight disinformatio
n and provide them with the necessary abilities of critical thinking. Independent Journalism Center (IJC) on moldovalainen kansalaisjärjestö joka tukee Moldovan toimittajia ja medioita. Järjestö työskentelee vahvistaakseen Moldovan vapaata mediaa kouluttamalla toimittajia tekemällä tutkimusta sekä kasvattamalla media
lukutaitoa. IJC:n tavoitteena on luoda informoitu yhteiskunta. IJC on alan tunnettu ja arvostettu uranuurtaja Moldovassa.IJC päivittää ylläpitämäänsä valeuutisten ja manipulaation vastaista mediasivustoa mediacritica.md:tä. Tuotettu materiaali on 
analyysejä haastatteluja tutkimuksia jne. Järjestö jatkaa koululaisten ja opettajien mediakasvatuksen tukemista educatia.mediacritica.md sivuston kautta. Järjestö kannustaa moldovalaisia mediakriittisyyteen nostamalla ajankohtaisia huomioita esille ka
navillaan sekä kehittää aiheesta podcastin.Hanke on tärkeä koska valeuutiset leviävät Moldovassa helposti valtamedioita myöten. Medioiden riippumattomuus ei toteudu eikä hyvän journalismin ohjesääntöjä aina seurata. Järjestön missio on kasv
attaa moldovalaisten medianlukutaitoa. Hankkeen tulokset: Opettajien ja oppilaiden kasvava medialukutaito (järjestö tavoittaa yli 20 000 koululaista vuosittain) moldovalaisten mediakuluttajien medialukutaito kasvaa yhä suurempi joukko moldovalaisia pyst
yy saamaan tietoa valeuutisista uusien kanavien kuten podcastin välityksellä (esim. näkövammaiset). Pitkällä aikavälillä hanke tähtää median toimintatapojen muuttamiseen läpinäkyvimmiksi. Hanketoiminta edistää moldovalaisten mahdollisuuksia 
arvioida mediaa kriittisesti ja parantaa heidän mahdollisuuttaan erottaa tieto valeuutisista.  Pitkällä aikavälillä koko Moldova hyötyy valveutuneemmasta ja aktiivisemmasta kansasta.
Peace Basket Fund's Covid-19 Support Rauhanrahaston covid-tuki The implementation of the Mozambique Peace Accord signed in August 2019 is on its way. The accord ended hostilities between the government and the opposition party Renamo that have shadowed development ever since Mozambique got its independence.Peace Baske
t Fund provides the international community a way to support the peace process and sustainable peace in Mozambique. This includes among others the disarmament demobilization and reintegration of former Renamo combatants. The fund is administered by UNOPS. 
Covid 19 epidemic has slowed down the disarmament and demobilization of the former combatants which has resulted in budget increases. To ensure that the process will be fully excuted Finland gives additional 300 000 euros to the covid related expenses. ear
lier on Finland has contributed to the fund 300 000 euros in 2020 and 100 000 euros in 2019. Mosambikissa on meneillään elokuussa 2019 solmitun rauhansopimuksen toimeenpano. Sopimus päätti hallituksen/hallituspuolue Frelimon ja oppositiopuolue Renamon välisen konfliktin joka on eriasteisena varjostanut maan kehitystä itsenäistymisestä läh
tien. Kansainvälinen yhteisö tukee rauhansopimuksen toimeenpanoa ja pysyvän rauhan saavuttamista UNOPSin hallinnoiman rahaston kautta. Niin sanottuun DDR-prosessiin (disarmament demobilisation and reintegration) kuuluvat Renamon joukkojen aseistariisunt
a ja kotiuttaminen sekä entisten taistelijoiden palaaminen osaksi yhteisöjä. Covid-19-epidemia on hidastanut loppukeväästä 2020 alkanutta toimeenpanoa ja lisännyt siihen liittyviä kustannuksia. Tukeakseen prosessin loppuun saattamista Suomi myönt
ää rahastolle 300 000 euron lisätuen covidia koskeviin kustannuksiin. Suomi on tukenut rahastoa aiemmin 300 000 eurolla vuonna 2020 ja 100 000 eurolla vuonna 2019.

F.a: Installation of electricity in the forest village of Sogola In this project, Bougouni municipality?s Sogola village in Mali will be electrified by installing 40 street lamps equipped with solar panels and by installing solar lighting systems to the buildings of the women?s cooperative as well as the maternity clini
c. Currently, petrol lamps are being used and batteries are charged in the municipality centre 10 km away. Village people?s capacity to participate in and monitor the installation and take care of the maintenance will be strengthened. The selected electrif
ication council will prepare the technical agreement between the village and the responsible government authority and make the regulations for the use of the street lamps together with the municipality. Villagers will participate in the maintenance costs o
f the solar systems. Street lights will benefit all villagers (over 2000 people, of which 420 are school children), and via electrification of the women?s cooperative, all villagers will benefit from open charging points for mobile phones and other devices
 (up to 100 devices at time). The women?s cooperative has 367 benefiting members, but in addition, another 400 women from nearby villages use the cooperative space and equipment for the handling of gathered forest products. The project implementor is the M
alian NGO ?uvre Malienne pour le Developpement des Zones Arides (OMADEZA).
F.a: Advancing Rural Women Rights in Agriculture The project will train a total of 200 women in four villages in Grand Gedeh county on climate change, in particular adaptation and food production. A community dialogue on land rights will be implemented to guarantee women's land rights as part of communit
y-based land management in the villages. In addition, plain language communication and education materials on women's land rights and the Land Rights Law adopted in 2018 will be produced and distributed. Out of the training participants, 10 women in vulner
able position will be selected to pilot a model farm. The model farms will be designed together with a technical support person. The piloting women will be provided with rice, local chickens and fish, and trained and supported in the implementation of the 
farm. The food production model seeks to protect the area's natural resources: rice is grown in marshland and fish and chickens are raised as sources of protein to relieve the pressure on natural resources from deforestation, hunting and river fishing. Ada
ptation to climate change emphasizes preparedness for weather irregularities.  The project is implemented to empower marginalized rural women in Liberia and for them to have access to agricultural land and reach sustainable livelihood. As a result of the p
roject, rural women are expected to acquire the necessary know-how to claim their rights within the community decision-making system according to the 2018 Land Law, women's land rights are expected materialise and food sovereignty is expected to be achieve
d through self-sufficient food production in the model farms. The direct beneficiaries of the project are the 200 rural women involved in its activities. Other target groups include national level civil society networks, government and development partners
, to which the initiative to be drafted at the community-level dialogue is directed.  The project is implemented by the Foundation for Community Initiatives (FCI, www.fcints.org).

F.a: Legeheda Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction This project aims at addressing the negative effects of climate change and contributing to building community's capacity to manage the disaster risk through rehabilitation of degraded lands, and enhancing gender equality and climate literacy. Activities in
clude construction of soil and water conservation, seedling preparation, reforestation, irrigation/spring development and promotion of green energy technologies. Women and people with disabilities are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change in
 the project area and they will be supported through income generating activities, such as livestock keeping and green brickets. Women will also participate in saving and self-help groups. The project will organise trainings for local government regarding 
gender rights and climate change issues.
F.a: Public Sector Trade Unions for Climate Justice in Africa In Tanzania, Nigeria and Morocco, the effects of climate change are reflected in rising temperatures as well as increased natural disasters. The effects of climate change will hit hardest the most vulnerable citizens and workers, who may not have access to
 basic services. In the project countries, co-operation between public trade unions and governments on climate change mitigation and just transition is either completely lacking or very limited. The project will increase public sector trade unions knowledg
e of climate change and their capacity to act so that they can play a significant role in their countries climate change mitigation and adaptation plans. At the same time, the capacity of trade union leadership to engage in effective dialogue will be impro
ved. As a result of the project, public sector unions in Tanzania, Nigeria and Morocco will have a coherent and strong solution to curb climate change and ways to get workers to adapt fairly to the changes caused by the phenomenon. During the project, the 
unions will work with national governments on climate change and just transition measures. The project will benefit the citizens of Tanzania, Nigeria and Morocco, especially the disadvantaged. The project is being implemented by Public Services Internation
al PSI together with its Tanzanian, Nigerian and Moroccan affiliates. In Finland the project is supported by Trade Union JHL.
