Caritas Norway-CAFOD Strategic Partnership 2023-2026 Caritas Norway and CAFOD have identified that it is mutually beneficial to enter into a strategic partnership, the basis of which is outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding, from August 2023- August 2026. Mutual benefits will be realised as the two agencies work together across a number of organisational functions with a view to enhancing and developing each organisation’s ability to deliver its humanitarian function. While the primary function of the MoU remains around joint humanitarian working, we will work to ensure we share cross organisation information and on our advocacy and development programmes and, where appropriate, develop joint working. A range of specific activities will be agreed mutually and be delivered in partnership, with a particular focus on:

- Institutional humanitarian fund-raising and joint humanitarian programming, 
- Humanitarian advocacy, 
- Humanitarian Capacity Building,
- Joint surge capacity development,
- Joint funding of two position- CVA Advisor and Funding Officer
- Joint country focus. 

The anticipated outcomes arising from this partnership will include greater humanitarian and, where appropriate development programme impact, organisational strengthening, enhanced organisational effectiveness and operational efficiencies.   MOU is to be renegotiated every year at least three months before the end of the current year.  CAFOD will provide £45,000 each year to support the joint funding of a Funding Officer, based in Oslo- no date for this payment is given in the MOU.
CAFOD contribution to Climate Coalition's For the love of... campaign The UK’s largest group of people dedicated to action on climate change and limiting its impact on the world’s poorest communities. Our combined supporter base of more than 11 million people spans over 100 organisations, from environment and development charities to unions, faith, community and women's groups. Together we demand practical action by the UK to prevent global warming rising beyond the 2 degrees C danger threshold.
 
Climate Coalition (formerly Stop Climate Chaos) and its members are running a joint campaign to raise awareness of climate change and help lobby for climate to be included in election manifestos, as well as a global deal agreed in 2015 on global emissions.  A large mobilisation is planned in 2015 and this is to contribute to its planning and implementation.
Caritas Norway Strategic Partnership Phase 2 Caritas Norway and CAFOD have identified that it is mutually beneficial to enter into a strategic partnership, the basis of which is outlined in this Memorandum of Understanding. Mutual benefits will be realised as the two agencies work together across a number of organisational functions with a view to enhancing each organisation’s ability to deliver its humanitarian and, where appropriate, development programmes.  A range of specific activities will be agreed mutually and be delivered in partnership, within the following organisational functional areas:
 
Security management, institutional fund-raising, humanitarian advocacy, supporter development. 
 
There will be a particular focus on activities associated with CAFOD and Caritas Norway’s engagement within the following countries: Central African Republic (CAR), South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Eritrea, Syria, the Philippines.
Strengthening quality and effectiveness of hum response through capacity building (Cost reimbursment This project is aimed at beginning to redress this imbalance, by strengthening the capacity of local and national organizations and networks working directly with communities affected by natural disasters, conflict, and protracted crises. Adeso is in the process of establishing a functional global network of local and national organizations, with the aim of creating a people centred and locally driven humanitarian response. The proposed project will focus on strengthening organizational capacity and enhancing access to direct funding for members of this nascent network. Targeted organisations in 5 countries (DRC, Somalia, South Sudan, Turkey and Nepal) will be supported to assess their capacity gaps and needs, using locally appropriate tools and methodologies. Research into existing pooled funding mechanisms such as the START Financial Enablers project led by Oxfam, UN pooled funds, the Global Fund for Aids, and multi-donor trust funds will be undertaken and based on extensive consultations. A pilot pooled funding mechanism for local and national NGOs will be designed and be ready to be trialed by the end of the project. Being situated within Adeso's wider 5-year network development project, this project will build on and link to a broad spectrum of work on developing SNGOs' humanitarian capacity and is expected to significantly contribute to a more inclusive, more effective and more responsive humanitarian system globally.
Humanitarian Policy and Networking budget Essential to effective humanitarian policy analysis and advocacy is good, detailed research.  This funding is allocated to contract researchers and consultants to do research and analysis and write reports which form the basis of some of CAFOD's policy and advocacy work on humanitarian issues.  This will be both CAFOD-specific pieces of research and contributions towards interagency reports.
Contribution to Labour Behind the Label Labour Behind the Label supports garment workers' efforts worldwide to defend their rights. They educate consumers, lobby companies and government, raise awareness, and encourage international solidarity with workers. In addition, they coordinate the UK platform of the international Clean Clothes Campaign.

In 2010 the Ethical Trading Initiative is prioritising work in support of living wages in global supply chains. Traditionally it has proved very difficult to make progress even with ETI member companies on this issue, although it is a priority for workers in developing countries. LBL will keep up the external pressure through campaigns asking high street companies to ensure that their suppliers pay a living wage and by linking in with workers organisations in Asia through the Asian Floor Wage campaign. The aim of this grant is to support LBL in their work on living wages and ensure that they are working strategically with NGO members of ETI to exert maximum influence over company policies.
DEC Appeals Pooled Income - AMELAC for Payment to the DEC to return pooled income collected by CAFOD during various DEC appeals.
Food System Myths Busters This project seeks to produce a ‘myths busters’ set of brief papers to unmask and dismantle some of the myths behind the dominant industrial agriculture food system model. It builds in part on the approach of the coal, oil, gas and poverty briefings that various agencies produced to make the case that fossil fuel development is not needed to tackle poverty. 

IDS has been contracted to deliver the core research and initial briefing papers. Other activities such as communications work, will be developed after delivery of the briefings.
Contribution to National Justice and Peace Network Funding to support a visit from Fr Edu from Nassa, Caritas Philippines. These funds were originally requested in Spring 2014 but it was decided to withhold payment until closer to the date of this visit.
Protection Mainstreaming Working Group There is growing consensus across the humanitarian sector that all humanitarian actors share an ethical responsibility to mainstream protection across their work, ensuring their activities promote meaningful access, safety and dignity of disaster affected populations. 

As such, CAFOD, CRS, Trocaire and Caritas Australia have committed to a joint initiative, the Protection Mainstreaming Working Group (PMWG), to strengthen their own capacity and that of their partners in order to be more strategic and consistent in mainstreaming protection throughout emergency response and recovery programmes.  In order to ensure this working is effective, CAFOD will host the Protection Mainstreaming Coordinator – a shared post working with all 4 agencies.

The PMWG will seek to strengthen protection mainstreaming through building widespread commitment and providing practical support to the implementation of protection mainstreaming; developing and promoting good practice and continual learning in relation to protection mainstreaming; ensuring representation and participation within relevant international protection fora and developing strategic links with the wider Caritas network.

The role of the Protection Mainstreaming (PM) Coordinator will be to provide essential coordination and leadership for this initiative across the four organizations. They will be responsible for finalizing and rolling out a common PM framework in collaboration with the PMWG.  The PM Coordinator will provide technical leadership, manage the roll-out process for the framework and a related minimum package of PM tools/guidance, and represent the organizations within international protection fora.
Contribution to Caritas Sri Lanka for Tsunami 10th Anniversary Commemoration Events Solidarity contribution to Caritas Sri Lanka to facilitate 10th year Tsunami Remembrance events in Sri Lanka. Several other Caritas organisations have also contributed to this event.
Independent Catholic News To increase awareness of issues affecting the Church among believers and in the wider community.
Set up on a voluntary basis in May 2000 in response to Tertio Millennio Adveniente, which called for lay people to play a more active role in the work of the Church. Aim is to provide speedy and accurate news coverage of all subjects of interest to Catholics and the wider Christian community.
Match Fund III related travel by partners/policy advisors for international advocacy This project provides MFIII partners in Bangladesh, Kenya, Myanmar and Zimbabwe the opportunity to attend and participate in national and/or international visits to further partners' advocacy aims within the theme of sustainable, climate resilient livelihoods. This includes visits to international and national audiences – conferences, advocacy visits to parliaments, international organisations such as the UN, FAO etc. For more information on the MFIII programme please see Programme ID: ICD651.
Multi-Hazard Assessments for Building Sustainable and Resilient Communities Considerable ambiguity surrounds the likely impacts of climate change; this presents major challenges especially in multi-hazard environments where humanitarian and development practitioners have to decide how and where to allocate resources in order to reduce disaster risk and promote long-term sustainable development.  In recent years, climate change has become the focus of attention for many in the humanitarian and development sectors – it is seen to be the ‘most serious and urgent problem the world faces’.   Whilst globally, this view may be valid, at a local scale, other environmental hazards and human induced environmental degradation are often far more damaging and, currently, have much greater impact on communities and livelihoods than climate change alone.  This is particularly the case in many developing countries where humanitarian and development practitioners must target their resources responsibly and sustainably.

Whilst this research will not attempt to play down the important threat climate change poses to human security, it will aim to develop methodologies which will allow multi-hazard assessments to be undertaken. These will allow humanitarian and development practitioners the opportunity to analyse threats to human security, the vulnerability of communities to such threats and their capacity to deal with them. This will subsequently lead to the development of tools to enable the effective application of indigenous and scientific knowledge to build resilience.

Importantly this research will allow the threat of climate change to be analysed in the context of other threats to ensure undue attention is not focused on the issue unless there is reason to do so.   In order to achieve this challenging undertaking, environmental hazards, including climate change, will be appropriately assessed and the associated risks mapped and quantified in order to set a priority agenda for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and adaptation to climate change.

Whilst this research will have global applicability through the provision of new methodological approaches for the humanitarian and development sectors, it will also be of great value at the community level.  Importantly, indigenous knowledge will be recognised as a community resource and a building block in developing community resilience to environmental hazards.  In order to ‘ground’ the research, field work will be carried out in a multi-hazard environment (the Philippines) which presents unique challenges and opportunities for work in the fields of DRR and climate change adaptation.  

This EngD project aims to show how the humanitarian and development sector can usefully assess hazards and prioritise their work in multi-hazard environments.  It aims to provide a way for helping communities build resilience to the threats that are most likely to undermine their security both now and in the future, through utilising both scientific and indigenous knowledge.
CIDSE Joint Action Project Participation in the joint action project including the 2015 highlights joint social media work and mobilization for Paris COP21.
Caritas Denmark Nexus Research Study CAFOD is collaborating with Caritas Denmark and Caritas national organisations on a research initiative looking at localisation implications of the Humanitarian, Development and Peace Nexus. Two studies are planned, and a pooled research budget being established at Caritas Denmark to support this work. One study is planned with Caritas Bangladesh to draw learning from the experience of both Caritas Bangladesh and a wider range of national and international actors in the country with a particular focus on the experience with Nexus funding, coordination and partnership approaches in relation to climate change related emergencies. The study will aim to generate findings and recommendations of relevance both for Caritas member organisations programme quality and learning efforts, but also policy-relevant findings and recommendations to inform the policy and practice of institutional donors (notably the Danish government, the UK government and other major donors in Bangladesh).
Contribution to Programme Cooperation Officer post (CIDSE) The grant represents CAFOD's share of an agreed contribution to the 'Programme Cooperation Officer' post at CIDSE.
SURVIVE MIVA To provide mobility for outreach programmes which have been planned in collaboration and consultation with local communities in response to their needs and priorities.
Contribution towards Irish Rule of Law International training programme, Zambia To provide training for Judicial Assistants in Zambia through facilitation of training sessions and workshops coordinated between local stakeholders from the Zambian judiciary system and facilitators acting on behalf of the Irish Rule of Law International.
ECHO-Accelerating Localisation Through Partnerships-CAFOD contribution ECHO has provided funding a 6 member consortium led by Christian Aid (and including CAFOD, ActionAid, Tearfund, Care and Oxfam) to develop and promote local humanitarian leadership capacities in 4 focus countries; South Sudan, Nepal, Nigeria and Myanmar. Consortium members will engage with networks of local and national NGOs, via a consortium/INGO focal point for each respective country, and coordinate a series of workshops and accompaniment programmes to develop and promote the abilities of local humanitarian actors to respond to crises in their unique country settings.
Christian Aid will lead this consortium. CAFOD will contribute towards co-financing of the initiative. We will sit on the project steering committee, support the administration and management of the consortium, and contribute to discussions and implementation at the country level. 
CAFOD is not a focal point agency for any of the 4 countries; as such we will not received any funding in return.
ICHR Research Programme The International Council on Human Rights Policy will provide a forum for applied research, reflection and forward thinking on matters of international human rights policy. In a complex world in which interests and priorities compete across the globe, the Council will identify issues that impede efforts to protect and promote human rights and propose approaches and strategies that will advance that purpose.  

The Council will stimulate co-operation and exchange across the non-governmental, governmental and intergovernmental sectors, and strive to mediate between competing perspectives. It will bring together human rights practitioners, scholars and policy-makers, along with those from related disciplines and fields whose knowledge and analysis can inform discussion of human rights policy.  

It will produce research reports and briefing papers with policy recommendations. These will be brought to the attention of policy-makers, within international and regional organisations, in governments and intergovernmental agencies, and in voluntary organisations of all kinds.  

In all its efforts, the Council will be global in perspective, inclusive and participatory in agenda-setting and collaborative in method.
INTERNATIONAL W/S ON MEETING MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
· To raise awareness of the need for mental health care services in developing countries among Christian leaders and Christian medical professionals, so that they can more effectively serve all the people in their own community.
· To define and disseminate a Christian perspective on mental health care in developing countries, on the basis of biblical examples and patterns of care and compassion.
· To involve and motivate key personnel, including church leaders, medical workers and government medical staff from a range of developing counties in Africa, Asia, South America and Eastern Europe, and to help them to formulate the best possible programme for meeting the mental health needs of the nation or community within which they work.
· To define and disseminate simple and workable models of mental health care, by looking at existing models and suggesting ones that are adaptable to varying circumstances by Christian health providers.  Also to determine appropriate methods for evaluating the mental health care programmes developed.
· To encourage other organisations involved in health care in developing countries to add mental health care to their programmes.
· To ensure post-workshop support for delegates, including formation of an international network of addresses and e-mail links to conference speakers, workshop leaders, other delegates, and other sources of information, advice and help on mental health care and related medical and nursing issues.
Center of Concern The work of the Center of Concern during the past several years has been directed at analyses of globalisation through the lens of gender, class and race, with a concern for human rights, especially economic and social rights.
In its recent analysis of the evolving situation during a staff planning retreat, the Center of Concern identified its work for the next year as threefold: 1) Continuing to work to discredit the current neo-liberal economic and social model; 2) Seeking alternatives that translate into policy redirection; and 3) working for and within global solidarity.  These goals will be addressed through several coordinated project activities.
PWYP Coordinator Post Outline of what work needs to be done, including details of the volume of work
Work is already of sufficient volume for a full-time Coordinator.
-Developing and implementing campaign plans with the PWYP Steering Committee and member agencies, e.g. follow up on the EU Transparency Obligations Directive.
-Ensuring members are updated with relevant information from various campaign initiatives, e.g. international accounting standards, Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, lobbying of IFIs and Export Credit Agencies, progress on revenue transparency in individual countries.
-Developing briefings, for developing country members and others, on particular issues of relevance which may include international frameworks relating to financial transparency.
-Supporting and responding to developing country based members so that they are fully involved in the initiative. Organising events including training seminars in conjunction with other members of the campaign.
-Supporting member organisations in liaising with national governments and industry.
-Where appropriate, representing the campaign in meetings with government or industry
-Drafting campaign materials e.g. PWYP Newsletter, web copy, briefings, press releases and information materials.
-Maintaining updated email distribution lists and database of all coalition members.

PWYP shares CAFOD's values of solidarity and stewardship. The objective of the PWYP campaign is to ensure that the people of developing countries benefit from their natural resources.  To do this civil society needs to have information about the payments that companies make so that they can hold their governments to account for how those revenues are spent.  The PWYP coalition is an excellent example of a collaborative and joint campaigning initiative between Northern NGOs and Southern partners.  Since 2002 it has grown from 60 to 290 member organisations, many of which are in the South.  A major factor in this sustained growth has been the energy and effectiveness of the PWYP Coordinator.
Workshop - Talking with poor people about a post 2015 framework A two-day workshop that brings together to enable dialogue between three constituencies: those who already have activities in development to engage with poor-people about post-2015; those who have expertise in large-scale exercises in participatory engagement; and agencies who might consider providing funding (including DFID) to a larger scale global exercise.
