s characterized by historically deep-rooted political, social, ethnic and resource-related conflicts that form part of local, regional and national conflict dynamics. It remains one of the most underdeveloped areas in the country, and the minimal existing 
infrastructure, including houses, schools, hospitals and roads, has been largely destroyed. People have been displaced from their homes due to violence, insecurity and economic hardship, and have sought refuge in civilian protection sites within the countr
y and in refugee camps in the neighbouring countries. #4. The main objective and expected results:#The proposed project aims to restore communities right to peace through empowering the targeted rights-holders to claim their right to peace and increasing t
he capacity of duty-bearers to fulfil their role as the duty-bearers.#The main objective of the project is to contribute to achieving sustainable peace and stability in the Greater Upper Nile Region. The project will support holistic conflict transformatio

F.a: Supporting Burundian civil society in monitoring and advocacy The aim of the project is to promote peace process in Burundi and contribute international community to support of a comprehensive resolution to the ongoing political crisis in Burundi. The project seeks to increase awareness of the human rights situation 
in Burundi and advocates this at the internation level. This project will allow Atrocities Watch to continue and expand its monitoring and advocacy work in support of a comprehensive resolution to the ongoing political crisis in Burundi. The project is to 
be executed in cooperation with two key Burundian partners, the Forum pour le Renforcement de la Societe Civil au Burundi (FORSC) and the Mouvement des Femmes et des Filles pour la Paix et la Securite (MFFPS). The project will support the continuation of j
oint AWA/FORSC monitoring inside Burundi, with a particular focus on the situation of internally displaced persons. This monitoring will also be expanded into refugee hosting countries in the region, allowing the organisations to document both the reasons 
for flight and violations of refugee rights. On the advocacy side, AWA will support both organizations to make their voices heard by translating their products and opinions into products that are accessible to policymakers, improving outreach with these pr
oducts using electronic distribution and social media and supporting in person meetings between Burundian advocates and international policy makers. Through these efforts, we will ensure that local voices are heard and heeded and that local understanding i
nfuses international engagement.
F.a: Policy and Learning The dynamics of conflicts and the field of mediation are in flux and the international community faces challenges in creating new and adapting the existing tools to the changing global environment. While traditional tools  like official diplomacy and inter
nationally led peace processes  and actors like the UN and state actors are still highly relevant, there is need for wiring-up the international peacemaking system to respond to the new challenges and complementing the traditional actors and tools. The fie
ld of mediation is undergoing a process of development, to address the accelerating dynamics of internal and transnational conflicts. Globally, the resurgence of power politics has actualised the need for creative approaches to peacemaking, a demand that n
on-governmental peace mediation actors are ideally placed to meet. #In sum, there is a widely experienced need for more established and commonly agreed practices and principles that complement the traditional actors and tools of peacemaking. Successful pol
icy formation should be nurtured with sharing of good practices and examples from the praxis, in consultation with policymakers and research.#CMI aims to capitalise on its experience and partnerships in order to strengthen international best practices and 
norms in the field of conflict prevention and resolution. This work will be built around the efforts to enhance understanding and recognition of targeted thematic best practices and lessons, or context/conflict-specific awareness, among the international p
eacemaking community, efforts to increase connectivity of various types and levels of actors in exchanges on practice and lessons learned in conflict prevention and resolution, as well as enhancing recognition of best practices based on the legacy of Presi
dent Ahtisaari among other actors in the international peacemaking community.
F.a: Women in development project for Yumbe district in Uganda 1. Project: 11870 Women in Development project for Yumbe District, Uganda #2. Project area and Country: Yumbe + Arua districts, West Nile region, Uganda#3. Project justification: #The influx of South Sudanese refugees in the districts of Yumbe and Arua has
 put significant pressure on social services in the district. Settlements in both Yumbe and Arua have surpassed their recommended maximum capacities, transit and reception facilities are overwhelmed and host communities compete for resources. Many refugee 
households are food insecure, and WFP has reduced food rations amongst refugee populations by half due to funding shortfall. The women and young girls in the project areas, who are the ones taking care of crop production and domestic chores, are most vulne
rable due to their limited access to cash income, credit facilities and resources such as land, which are largely controlled by men. Due to a lack of opportunities for income generating activities and gainful employment, womens right to sustainable livelih
oods is not fulfilled, exposing them to the risk of chronic poverty.#4. The main objective and expected results:#The main objective of the project is to contribute to improving the well-being of rural women in the refugee hosting districts of Yumbe and Aru
a in Northern Uganda. This will be achieved through increased capacity of women to initiate, plan and manage their businesses, to mobilize their own saving and access credit to finance their activities and to participate in decision-making processes affect
ing their wellbeing.#5. Right-holders/ beneficiaries: 1500 refugee women and women in host communities#Duty bearers: Local leaders at village, parish, sub-county and district levels, members of parliament, Chief administrative Officers and Community Develo
pment Officers, traditional leaders, community based organizations, religious institutions, local non-governmental organizations.#6. Implementing partner: Uganda Change Agent Association (UCAA)
