Women's access to land - REFEPA In Niger, the issue of land interests more civil society and producers organizations. Family farms face the problem of land fragmentation due to population pressure on natural resources which often leads to conflicts between stakeholders and users (farmers and ranchers). This pressure of ever increasing natural resource make the right to land denied to certain professional categories of the society especially women. Yet, in Niger, the right to land for women is recognized both by the legislation (Rural Code) and by Muslimreligion. But because of certain social prejudices, communities still refuse to recognize it. Niger is a country with large Muslim predominance. Thus tenure insecurity is an ongoing concerns that rural women living in Niger. They are most often in a very precarious position in terms of their access to and control of land, recognized yet vital for their development. Addressed to this problem, Oxfam decided to support the initiative of the Women's Network for Peace (REFEPA) through project Women's access to land in Niger. The project aims to strengthen and secure women's access to agricultural land and ability to exploit it. Given the results achieved during the first phase (performed between October 2010 and February 2013), Oxfam has decided to support this partner again by agreeing to finance a second phase, which started in March 2013 for two more years. For the implementation of project activities, Oxfam andREFEPA highlighted the partnership and collaboration within a framework of promoting an ongoing dialogue between actors capable of bringing the various stakeholders. The project was based on Islamic law to conduct its advocacy that helped convince beneficiary communities that woman as much as man, has a property right in the land.In addition to the partner, the project works with villagers community leaders.

The project has develop a strategy to establish that according to the national law, human rights exist for women in the different systems governing land Niger (modern, Islamic and customary), but this is the result of an automatic applicability of these rights. The project focuses on five (5) strategic axes of intervention:
Strengthening legal and political capacity of women;
Capacity of communication and advocacy of women;
The economic empowerment of women;
Capacity building of the staff of NGOs and the project;

Connecting4Life Management Strong social and cultural taboos prevent girls (and boys) from any significant sexual education before marriage and (sexual) relationships making them vulnerable.  Through the C4L programme, we work with youth in - and out of schools to provide them with accessible information enabling them to take control over their lives. We combine cross (mass) media and ICT interventions with youth mobilization, strengthening lobby and advocacy to empower youth with skills and knowledge on sexual and reproductive health and rights. The cross media and ICT interventions are interactive and adapted to the local context. This is proven to be very effective in reaching mass audiences and changing behaviour.

AWYAD Integrated WASH&protection 4 SSR African Women and Youth Action for Development (AWYAD) is a Non-Government Organization (NGO) founded by Christians with a deep concern for vulnerable youth and women in Uganda, living in abject poverty and whose voices cannot be heard.

African Women and Youth Action for Development (AWYAD) is a Non-Government Organization (NGO) founded by Christians with a deep concern for vulnerable youth and women in Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania in the East African Region, living in abject poverty and whose voices cannot beheard.
AWYAD was established 2010, by Christians with a passion to support vulnerable youth and women groups in various parts of the region, where 78% of youth are enslaved in the war of want, unintended self-torture, unproductiveness, crime, hunger and stress due to poverty as a result of joblessness and hopelessness. Over 70% of women in many rural communities live through untold suffering caused by horror of poverty associated with cultural and economic injustices such as discrimination and unpaid labour which is both on and off farm.  During emergencies like sever famine and hunger and displacement, women and children suffer most from the consequences of the disaster.
In order to overcome these challenges, AWYAD is driven with apassion to work and advocate for change that eradicates the causes of poverty, discrimination and injustice striving to achieve equality, voice and empowerment. The organization targets vulnerable youth between the age of 15 # 30 years and vulnerable women including young single mothers, widows, women with HIV and disability with competitive skills and knowledge on agro business, promoting talent, innovation and entrepreneurship as well as nurturing and mentoring youth and women leaders with skills to influence, participate in decision making for the development of theirfamilies, their communities and nation.
OGB Rwanda team The Gender Action Learning System (GALS) was developed under ONs WEMAN programme since 2008 with Linda Mayoux and partners. Since 2009 IFAD has been promoting the use of GALS and other innovative household methodologies (HHM) as a mechanism to achieve asignificant and sustainable reduction in rural poverty. GALS and the "Household Mentoring approach" developed as part of the Agricultural Support Programme (ASP) supported by Swedish Sida in Zambia are among the two most comprehensive methodologies promoted by IFAD.

H HM position poor female and male smallholder farmers as drivers of their own development rather than recipients of aid or victims. It enables them to identify and address obstacles in their environment, change gender relations in the household and community, negotiate better prices for their products or better service delivery, and strengthen their asset base1. HHM have been successfully applied in a number of countries and can effectively be integrated into agricultural extension, ruralfinance and value chain development. They increase the pro-poor impact of such economic interventions and can contribute significantly to IFAD´s goal of helping 80 millionpeople out of poverty.

For this project a consortium was formed with local CSOsinRwanda, Burundi and DRC to promote sharing of experiences between three countries, capitalise on the opportunities for linking with IFAD programmes in these countries and to bring in more practitioners from Francophone West Africa. The selection of thesethree countries was based on the demand to provide materials in French and to have locations where participants can learn from HMM in practice. The experience and expertise built up with partners and their community groups in Rwanda will be beneficialforthe other two countries but also for IFAD staff from other Francophone countries.

Improved Youth Manifest 4 agenda setting This project forms part of a series of 3 pilot initiatives called test cases for the project Deepening Democracy, coming out of several years of North South exchanges of innovative citizens driven solutions to social problems.
With Deepening Democracy, E-Motive is changing from wide spread thematic focus to a one issue focus, in order to use expertise of different countries to tackle one global issue in-depth. Key for the way of working is mutual learning where the North and the South are learning from each other horizontally.
The project deepening Democracy aims to change the role of citizens in (the) policy development (cycle) by increasing their influece and by creating the ability to hold representatives accountable for their actions and make their policies more responsive to their direct concerns and priorities.

The test cases of 2015 will provide input for the development of the longterm project Deepening Democracy. The test cases  will test innovative solutions (tools) for deepening democracy in new contexts and linking up with tools form different context.

The project managed by CEW-IT will further elaborate and expand the Youth Manifesto tool of CEW-IT for agenda-setting, zooming in on the theme of youth unemployment, and link that tool to the ongoing initiatives towards young citizens agenda-setting of INESC and Movisie, and made compatibel to their influencing and edutainment tools. The thematically focussed and customized tool will be implemented in the three countries.

The pilot, thematically focussing and customizing the Youth Manifesto tool for youth unemployment, provides an in-road for youth citizens to express what they think should be undertaken to effectively combat youth unemployment for all segments of young people, and hold their governments accountable for more effective and responsive youth unemployment policies. This helps youth and groups of young citizens to expresses their views and priorities and influence the setting of the political agenda on youth employment, demand responsiveness and advocate for policy changes.
SOS Habitat Programme 2013-2015 SOS Habitat provides assistance to (peri-)urban residents who are threatened by eviction by government institutions aligned with powerful interests that try to abuse the lack of adequate land rights in the Angolan urban settings in order to profit from this. SOS Habitat also engages in national and international advocacy (among others with Human Rights Watch, another partner of Oxfam Novib) to draw attention to the plight of the vast majority of urban dwellers in Luanda without adequate title to their informally built houses.

The organisation finally managed to hold its Annual General Meeting in December 2012; the meeting confirmed the acting Coordinator (Rafael Morais) in his position.

The activities by staff and volunteers in Luanda continued. Oxfam Novib - in coordination with Christian Aid - decided to continue funding this distressed partner in 2013, allowing SOS Habitat to engage in a participatory planning process (with external support) to establish a new strategy and plan for the coming years.

Ongoing activities include: working with communities in the wider Luanda area facing threats of eviction; strenghtening existing community organisations, supporting the communication network to enable lobbying.
