F.a: Programme Communications + Global Education - Ahtisaari Days Current trends put pressure on peace mediation. Great power politics makes states increasingly more pursuing their own interests at the expense of international cooperation. Hard security measures, such as strengthening of armed forces, are often the prima
ry response to insecurity while mediation and conflict resolution as more effective solutions are undermined. Relationships between conflict parties can be further deteriorated by aggressive information campaigns. Therefore, it is a critical time to defend
 and define peacemaking as an effective way of preventing and resolving conflicts and point out CMI’s added value in this respect. Several other trends also highlight more the need for greater emphasis on communication in every organisation. One of these
 trends is the democratisation of the media landscape, driven mainly by the growing importance of social media. Traditional mass media no longer controls the flow of information. Therefore, organisations need to communicate directly to their audiences, int
eract with them, and strengthen their own communications channels. Social media, on the other hand, builds a sense of community, and nurturing it is important to any organisation wishing to build strong support for its work. The growing importance of organ
isations’ own communications equally highlights the need to build our staff’s communications capacity. CMI’s communications aims to strengthen our key audiences – the Finnish general public and decision makers, experts and conflict parties – know
ledge, understanding and engagement in our work and with the broader peacemaking community. As part of this, the project seeks to: 1) Ensure that communication of our programme and its results is attractive and understandable to our audiences; 2) Support C
MI’s peace mediation work and priorities in a strategic manner by communication; 3) Increase organizational communications capacity both internally and externally; and 4) raise awareness among young Finnish audiences and engage them in CMI’s work throu
gh the Ahtisaari Days -concept.
F.a: Bench-Maji Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education Project The project strengthens mother-tongue-based multilingual education in primary schools by developing school materials, strengthening the capacity of teachers, teacher trainers, dictionary workers and school inspectors as well as developing local languages a
nd cultures. In Bench-Maji Zone there are six local languages (Bench, Me'en, Diizi, Suri, Shekko, Baale), and the local government has decided that all of them can be used as language of instruction in the lower grades of primary education in each language
 area.  The project aims to finalize the orthographic systems of the languages, prepare pertinent and contextualized study plans and materials and transition components to English and Amhara for higher grades. With the project the local language communitie
s can better maintain their own language, history and culture, and develop their written culture. It also increases the possibilities of the members of these language communities for integration into the society and helps the children to improve their scho
ol achievements. Out of the six languages, in Bench, Me'en, Shekko and Diizi  languages the mother tongue based multilingual education (MTB MLE) was introduced in pilot classes in grades 1-4 in 16 schools. Now the MTB MLE has been introduced also in Suri l
anguage. Local Government has expanded the MTB MLE following the pilot classes. The number of schools where MTB MLE is  used has increased in four years (2011-2015) from 16 to 228. The number of students in MTB MLE classes in 2011 was 549 (333 boys, 216 gi
rls), and in 2015 it was 33 726 (18 824 boys, 14 902 girls). The beneficiaries are the children and local people of six ethnic peoples, and the teachers and education authorities of the region. The implementing agency is SIL International (Summer Institute
 of Linguistics), with a long experience in developing written languages and strengthening mother-tongue-based multilingual education throughout the world.
F.a: Child rights and protection in cocoa growing communities in Ghana The project is strengthening local and national child protection systems to protect children from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect in the cocoa sector in Ghana. The project is building strong and functional community and district level structures 
for education on child labour and advocating duty-bearer organizations and institutions to roll-out programmes and policies on child labour and child protection. The agricultural sector remains the backbone of Ghana with over 50% of the workforce employed 
in agriculture. Cocoa is the chief agricultural export product and the country's main cash crop. Ghana is the second largest cocoa exporter in the world after Ivory Coast. The Ghana Statistical Service estimates indicate that close to 28% of children in Gh
ana between the ages of 5 to 14 are involved in child labour activities and are not going to school. Out of this proportion, over 50% are engaged in farm labour with cocoa farms engaging about 65% of them. The Cocoa Labour Survey in Ghana commissioned by t
he National Programme for the Elimination of Child Labour in Cocoa estimated a quarter of the children working in the cocoa sector are engaged in hazardous work. Enrolment records from the Municipal Education Directorate reveal an increasing decline as pup
ils’ transition from the primary school to the Junior High School level.The overall objective of the project is to improve child protection and child rights. The purpose of the project is strengthened child protection systems in the Asunafo and Asetanapa
 municipality communities. Expected outputs of the project are increased access to safe school environment, communities’ increased capacities to raise awareness on child rights, increased CSOs’ capacity on child labour and child protection and establis
hment of duty-bearers’ platform to ensure child-rights promotion. The project is targeting small producer organisations, traditional leaders and other community opinion leaders, as well as municipal assembly and its departments and other community level 
stakeholders. The project’s final beneficiaries are children from around 100 cocoa growing communities in Asunafo and Asetenapa.The project is implemented by Fairtrade Africa in cooperation with International Cocoa Iniciative (ICI) and local child-rights
’ organizations. http://www.fairtradeafrica.net/
People on the move Ihmiset liikkeellä The aim of the project is to bring into light the fact that climate change and conflicts; conflicts often caused partly by climate change  are causing increasing number of people to move  from their habitat also across national borders. It is essential to 
tell in Finland that big refugee problems exist elsewhere; in the areas of conflicts and in their immediate neighbours. Hankkeen tarkoituksena on elokuvien ja niihin liittyvien keskusteluiden ja esittelyjen kautta tuoda esille se tosiseikka että ilmastonmuutos ja konfliktit joiden yhtenä syynä on usein ilmaston muutos  aiheuttaa yhä enemmän ihmisten liikkumista-usein v
altioiden rajojen yli. Olennaista on kertoa Suomessa siitä että todella isot pakolaisongelmat ovat aivan muualla kuin täällä tai muualla Euroopassa sillä ihmiset ovat liikkeellä ennen kaikkea konfliktialueilla ja niiden välittömässä naapurustoss
a. Hankkeen pääasialliset tulostavoitteet ja keskeisimmät toiminnot niiden saavuttamiseksi.Tavoitteena on lisätä tietoisuutta siitä missä ja miksi suuret ihmisjoukot joutuvat jättämään kotinsa ja mitkä ovat lyhyen tähtäimen tarpeet heidän au
ttamisekseen ja miten rikkaiden maiden tekemät päätökset vaikuttavat  muuttoliikkeisiin. Hankkeessa kootaan elokuvapaketteja joissa tekijöinä ovat elokuvantekijät ennen kaikkea Saharan eteläpuolisesta Afrikasta joiden tekemien elokuvien kautta saad
aan heidän näkökulmansa asioihin. Riippuen maailmatilanteen kehittymisestä hankkeeseen voidaan liittää elokuvia ja tekijöitä myös esimerkiksi Lähi-Idästä.
F.a: Strong unions and QPS in Philippines health sector The project strengthens health sector trade unions, their joint collaboration and their advocacy in legislative processes and to improve the public health care system in the Philippines. The main objective is the enactment into law of two proposed legislat
ive bills on health: raising of the paid maternity leave to 100 days and expanding the coverage of national health insurance scheme to all Filipinos through Universal Health Care bill. Increasing union membership, training, awareness raising and networking
 of health workers´ organizations contribute to the advocacy work.

The Philippine Government continues cutting funds from public health care and weakening the working conditions of public health workers, through privatization of public health services an
d favouring short-term contracts and contract agency labour. The privatization has already now decreased the health budget which challenges the availability of services and the working conditions of health workers. Even vital health services are being tran
sferred from public management to private enterprises. At the same time health care is no longer free of charge. Close to 10 million Filipinos are not covered by National Health Insurance. Side services such as cleaning, laundry, catering and security are 
being outsourced which increases the dispersion of workers and thus makes organizing more difficult. Weak and dispersed unions are not capable of efficient interest representation of the workers. 

As a result, the understanding of the new legislative meas
ures among the health sector unions increases and the political approval and enactment into law of those bills are promoted by advocating political decision-makers. The joint collaboration of the trade unions improves and union membership increases by at l
east 13 000 new members: 9 new local unions in public health care and 3 new unions in private health care join the coalition. Also, an increase for public health care budget will be advocated. 

The beneficiaries are Philippine health sector workers and ci
tizens using the health services.  

The project is implemented by Public Services International (PSI) together with its member unions in the Philippines (AFW, CIU, PGEA, PSLINK ja PIPSEA).

F.a: Education Quality Enhancement Initiative (EQEI) 1. Project: 12007 Education Quality Enhancement Initiative (EQEI)#2. Project area and Country: Mubende District, Uganda.#3. Project justification: #According to the District Development Plan 2016  2020, low quality of education is one of the most pressing 
development challenges in Uganda. Moreover, surveys have shown that pupils attending public schools especially in rural areas cannot read or solve simple arithmetic calculations.#Low teacher proficiency greatly contributes to low quality of teaching. Furth
ermore, teacher absenteeism discourages parents from sending their children to school, thus contributing to high pupil absenteeism and dropout rates. Many parents also prioritize domestic work, market days and agricultural activities, while school related 
gender-based violence (SRGBV) has great impact in particular on girls school attendance. #4. The main objective and expected results:#The overall objective of the project is to improve the learning outcomes of the girls and boys in the 20-targeted primary 
schools. This will be accomplished through teachers improved teaching skills and appropriate methodologies in early grade reading and mathematics, strengthened school management and support to the School Management Committees (SMCs) and Parent-Teacher Asso
ciations (PTAs). Furthermore, the project will promote active community and parent participation in the education of their children. #As a result, the learners in the targeted primary schools are expected to have enhanced literacy and numeracy skills. The 
schools will have improved student retention rates, higher teacher proficiency and functional school management committees. The general perception of schools as safe learning environments will have improved.   5. Right-holders/ beneficiaries: 12,500 learne
rs.  #Duty bearers: 160 teachers, 2080 parents/guardians, 180 management committees (SMCs), and 11 district staffs.#6. Implementing partner: Rural Action Community Based Organization (RABOCAO).
