Institutional Cooperation between Finland and Nepal in meteorological services;  3rd Phase Nepalin hydrometeorologisten palvelujen kehittäminen IKI-hanke; III-vaihe The Finnish Meteorological Institute has carried out institutional cooperation (ICI) with the Nepalese counterpart Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) in the years 2010-2012 and 2013-2017. DHM is an organization under the Ministry of Population a
nd Environment in Nepal. DHM has a mandate from Government to monitor all the hydrological and meteorological activities in Nepal.The first phase of the project was evaluated in 2012. The conclusion was that DHM had a high ownership of the project and mutu
al accountability had been evident in the project. It was noted that the project had addressed the specific needs of the DHM and the impact of the project had been positive. However improvements were suggested to wider dissemination of skills within the De
partment results-based management and targeting of participants to the trainings. The recommendations were taken into account in the planning of the second phase of the project.The third phase of the project will continue to respond to the development need
s of the Government of Nepal and the DHM in the years 2018-2021. The funding for the third phase is XX euros. The overall objective of the project is improved capability of the Government of Nepal to respond to the increased risks of natural disasters rela
ted to weather and climate. The project has three main expected results: 1) Improved processes of DHM to manage the new observation systems 2) Improved production and service system 3) Enhanced Customer Relations Ilmatieteen laitos on toteuttanut viranomaisten välistä yhteistyötä (IKI) Nepalin hydrologian ja meteorologian laitoksen (DHM) kanssa vuosina 2010?2012 sekä vuosina 2013?2017. DHM on Nepalin väestö- ja ympäristöministeriön alainen osasto jolla on
 Nepalin hallituksen mandaatti kaikkeen hydro- ja meteorologiseen toimintaan Nepalissa.Hanke evaluoitiin vuonna 2012. Evaluaation mukaan DHM:llä on ollut vahva omistajuus hankkeesta ja yhteistyö kumppanien välillä on sujunut hyvin. Hanke on ollut tarko
ituksenmukainen tuloksellinen sekä kustannuslaatusuhteeltaan hyvä jonka vuoksi sen jatkorahoitusta suositeltiin. Kehitettävää löytyi hankkeen kartuttaman tieto-taidon levittämisessä laajemmalle organisaatiossa tulosperustaisen toimintatavan omaksum
isessa sekä koulutukseen osallistuvien tarkemmassa valinnassa. Evaluoinnin suositukset huomioitiin hankkeen toisen vaiheen suunnittelussa. Hankkeen kolmas vaihe toteutetaan vuosina 2018?2021 ja sille on myönnetty rahoitusta yhteensä 500 000 euroa. Hankk
een päätarkoituksena on tukea Nepalin hallituksen varautumista säästä ja ilmastosta johtuviin lisääntyneisiin luonnonkatastrofeihin ja jatkaa edelleen DHM:n kapasiteettia tuottaa hydrometeorologisia palveluita. IKI-yhteistyön kolmannella vaiheella 
on kolme päätavoitetta: 1) uusien säähavaintolaitteiden käyttämiskapasiteetin kasvattaminen 2) sää- ja ilmastopalveluiden tuottamiskapasiteetin kohottaminen sekä 3) DHM:n asiakaspalvelukapasiteetin parantaminen.
Widening Access to Justice for Legal Empowerment in the Kyrgyz Republic phase II Oikeuspalvelujen saatavuuden laajentaminen oikeudelliseksi voimaannuttamiseksi 2. vaihe Rule of Law Project of the UNDP is continuation for the phase I project that was implemented in 2014-2017. Main achievements of the phase one are opening of Government free legal aid centers covering also civil cases support to the drafting of law on domes
tic violence promotion of ratification of UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and promotion of legal awareness of officials and population. Main beneficiaries have been vulnerable groups of remote areas such as rural women and people w
ith disabilities. The legal awareness and access to justice of these groups is often weak.  In phase II the project will continue the work started in phase I. One of the main aims is to secure sustainability of free legal aid system after Finnish funding h
as ended. New national free legal aid center will be established under the Ministry of Justice. Its personnel will be trained and its quality standards developed. Members of the civil society and media will be given legal education and/or information. Proj
ect budget is 17 million euro for 2018-21. UNDP:n oikeussektorin hanke on jatkoa v. 2014-2017 toteutetulle 1. vaiheelle jossa käynnistettiin valtion maksuton oikeusapujärjestelmä siviilitapauksiin liittyen tuettiin perheväkivaltaa koskevan lain valmistelussa autettiin Kirgisiaa selvittämään 
YK:n vammaisia henkilöitä koskevan yleissopimuksen ratifiointiin liittyviä kysymyksiä sekä parannettiin virkamiesten ja väestön oikeustietoutta. Keskeisiä hyödynsaajia ovat olleet syrjäseutujen haavoittuvat ryhmät kuten maaseudulla asuvat naiset
 ja vammaiset joiden tietoisuus omista oikeuksistaan ja pääsy oikeuspalvelujen piiriin on usein heikkoa. Vaiheessa II jatketaan aiemman vaiheen työtä ja keskeisenä tavoitteena on turvata ilmaisen oikeusapujärjestelmän kestävyys Suomen rahoituksen p
äättyessä. Oikeusministeriön alaisuuteen perustetaan oikeusapua koordinoiva kansallinen keskus jonka henkilöstöä koulutetaan ja laatustandardeja kehitetään. Kansalaisyhteiskuntaa ja mediaa koulutetaan ja informoidaan kansalaisten oikeuksiin liitty
vissä kysymyksistä ja velvoitteista. Hankkeen budjetti on 17 milj. euroa v. 2018-21.
F.a: Disability inclusion ‘Disability is not a reason for early marriage but it could be a primary cause for a girl to experience rape.’ This quote from a Child Marriage + Disability study in Ethiopia, is illustrative for the situation of children and young people with disabili
ties in the four project countries. The study confirms that adolescent with disabilities do not have any access to SRH services, which is exactly the matter that the My Body, My Future program intends to address. In all the planned interventions of the pro
gram, an effort will be made to ensure these interventions are disability inclusive. Plan Finland has signed a partnership with Light for the World, a leading disability organization with expertise in mainstreaming disability inclusion and experience in in
clusive SRHR, as to ensure technical expertise within reach in all the four project countries. The main objective of the Partnership is to ensure that all stakeholders in the My Body, My Future program of Plan realize what the main barriers to disability i
nclusion are within society and what they and the communities can do to put a stop to these barriers, particular related to Sexual and Reproductive Health + Rights (SRHR). In order to do so the following areas of collaboration have been identified: 1) To i
dentify the focus intervention areas for inclusion of persons with disabilities in sexual and reproductive health activities, as well as to assist in tracking and tracing the process of disability inclusion by contributing to monitoring, evaluation, (actio
n) research and studies; 2) To enable trainers and disability inclusion focal persons to train implementing partners on inclusion of persons with disabilities in sexual and reproductive health activities by developing resources and training packs; 3) To en
sure Plan and implementing partners raise their commitment, strengthen their capacity and seek collaboration to include persons with disabilities in sexual and reproductive health activities by strengthening capacity through training, coaching and mentorin
g; 4) To demonstrate and the factors that impact the inclusion process, the lessons learned are documented and disseminated among the project countries as well as in Finland as in the wider development community. Ultimately these efforts should ensure the 
adolescents with disabilities are not left behind.

F.a: Corporate engagement Private sector engagement is a highly relevant field of work not only in view of the strong prioritization of the Finnish Development Policy on the role of private sector in development, but in terms of its concrete results.In the next four years, we will 
focus our efforts on engaging with private sector actors regarding Human Rights Due Diligence based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). Specifically, we aim to work together especially regarding children in the supply chain o
r identifying particularly vulnerable segments in the supply chain workforce as well as in piloting innovative ways for stakeholder engagement and community dialogue in communities with potential business-related child right impacts.In summary, the 2018-20
21 Programme, Plan Finland’s corporate engagement will: 1) Continue to establish multi-sector partnerships in order to enhance the realisation of child rights also in business operations; 2) Pilot innovative approaches in Human Rights Due Diligence and 3
) Advocate strongly with other child-centered organisations in Finland for enhanced regulation in regard business and human rights, especially Human Rights Due Diligence.The results of this work will be to find new working models together with private sect
or for businesses to respect child rights and gender equality in their business operations. The specific results to children and particularly girls will vary depending on partner and country of operations. The result for the advocacy work will be to increa
se public discussion on state responsibility to protect human rights in business operations, and strive for policy changes to support UN Guiding principles of business and human rights in Finland.The beneficiaries of this work are children, particularly gi
rls and their families who are impacted by business operations in developing countries. Key beneficiaries are also Finnish companies and their staff working on business and human rights due diligence.In seeking solutions to these complex problems, we have 
joined up the expertise of the corporate partners, Plan Finland as well as Plan Country Offices’ in-depth knowledge and understanding of child rights and the local corporate scene. The rich experience of Plan from various parts of the world, and a strong
 child rights and gender expertise, has proven to be attractive to many Finnish companies, as they tackle social responsibility issues in their supply chains

F.a: Scaling up Solar PV Drip Irrigation Systems in Myanmar's Dry Zone In this project, the PV Drip Irrigation Systems that were introduced in 2016 in the Dry Zone of Myanmar's central region, will be expanded to nearby villages.  Seeing the great success of the piolot project, over 100 neighbouring farms have expressed stron
g interest to establish their own Solar PV Drip Irrigation Systems but lack financing and technical support. This project will see the expansion of the system to 60 family farms. Direct beneficiaries will include some 700 persons, in addition to the 60 fam
ily members, they include other villagers working on these farms. The long-term development aims are the reached climate resilience of the agri livelihoods in the Dry Zone, increased role of renewable energy in Myanmar's rural development, increased divers
ity of agri value chains in the Dry Zone, agro-economic development of the Dry Zone, reduction of migrant works from Dry Zone and healthier family diets in the Dry Zone. The participating farmers will receive technical assistance and funding from the Ayerw
addy Farmers Development Bank (A-Bank) which covers most of the drip irrigation system installations. Siemenpuu and EKOenergy funding is less than one fourth of total project costs and acts as catalyst for the success of the scheme. The expected project ou
tcomes are: A total of 60 family farms, across 5 villages of the Dry Zone, have received capacity building to efficiently increase yields and crop diversity: Technical capacity building on Solar PV Pumping, Drip Irrigation, Aquifer Protection, Seasonal Agr
iculture, and Agro Processing, Families are trained regarding financing to establish their Solar PV Drip Irrigation System, REAM has established a revolving fund to finance 5 more family farms every 3-years, A total of 60 family farms have initiated agro-p
rocessing with technical support from and financing support from A-Bank, An increased awareness of the role of renewable energy for rural development -- among civil society organizations, policy makers, international development partners. The project partn
er Renewable Energy Association (REAM) has an official expert and advisor role in Myanmar energy issues. REAM is well networked also among civil society actors and internationally, and does research and advocacy work on renewable and sustainable energy pro
duction.
F.a: Hiyaw Tesfa Media Academy The Media in Ethiopia is limited and the authorities control most of the media channels. The goal is to offer more media producers a good quality education and a better foundation for work both professionally and ethically. The long-term goal is to create 
change in society in form of democratic processes and impartial media. Through the project there will be offered a 23 week certification course for future radio and TV- producers (estimated 40-50 students will be trained during the projectperiod). Local pa
rtner is Hiyaw Tesfa.
F.a: Palestine: Supporting Palestinian Dialogue and Consensus The schism in the Palestinian polity has led to separate governance and security structures in the West Bank and Gaza – separations that have been reinforced by vested interests. Despite several important agreements between the rival parties Fatah and Ha
mas, the formal process has not resulted in their implementation and the process is stalled. Additionally, a deep distrust prevails between the two factions. As a result, the parties are willing to make concessions only when under pressure, with no genuine
 political will to achieve reconciliation.Reconciliation agreements have lacked concrete implementation mechanisms and have actually prevented or delayed progress on most sensitive issues. Furthermore, the Palestinian political system suffers from a lack o
f effective representation, as consecutive elections have been postponed and mandates have expired. The reconciliation process has normally included only the main political factions, Hamas and Fatah, and neglected the wider Palestinian civil society, inclu
ding the smaller parties. Internal divisions have led to a diminishing number of people involved in reconciliation-related discussions, as well as a narrowing agenda at the discussions that do occur. The long-term costs of political division on the Palesti
nian population are considerable. Women represent a large portion of Palestinian civil society actors, but a smaller proportion of those involved in reconciliation.CMI, with its local partner Masarat, has worked in Palestine since 2010. The focus of this w
ork is on supporting the sustainable dialogue and consensus in Palestine through increasing the relevance, inclusiveness, and resilience of the intra-Palestinian reconciliation process. The specific objectives are to equip Palestinian stakeholders in devel
oping joint solutions, to further inclusive national reconciliations; and to strengthen the ability of Palestinian stakeholders to react jointly and constructively to instabilities and risks relating to the intra-Palestinian peace process.
