Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Kenya The proposal is based upon the second phase project carried out by InformAction in partnership with the Embassy of Finland on Social Justice Vision: Mobilizing communities through Film. The project uses a field-based approach to enhance citizen's participa
tion in human rights governance and democratization. Its main output is film and community discussions. Social justice films are used to mobilize and spark discussion- they are a practical tool to carry forward the ideology of change and accountability.The
 newly devolved government structures bring a whole new spectrum of opportunities and challenges. There has been insignificant public information on devolution making interventions around devolved structures crucial. The dismissive attitude of the central 
authorities towards devolution has resulted in inadequate resources to the counties and the appointment of parallel power structures that report to the presidency.  There are efforts by the centre to supervise the counties claiming financial and results-ba
sed management. This tug-of-war between the center and the regions will have significant impact on freedom of expression association and assembly. At the same time issues affecting Kenya pre-election phase continue: terrorism isolation and insecurity in No
rthern Kenya, marginalization and political isolation of Luo Nyanza, rising political violence in Western Kenya, extra-judicial killings by the police and a rise of criminal gangs, and paralysis of security sector reforms. The recurring problem of ethnic d
ivisions and animosity are now aggressively fought out on social media mirroring the underlying anxiety and tensions. A sense of empathy understanding and common cause urgently needs to be inculcated across the country.By creating formal networks of human 
rights defenders and community organizers IFA will work to organize communities in more structured and effective ways emphasizing the benefits of joint actions. Reaching across ethnic and political divisions to create a progressive national outlook from th
e bottom up is critical. Old models of civic education and top down civil society engagement are not enough, CSOs will need to connect more and better with ordinary people at the grassroots in order to be more effective as well as generate a measure of pro
tection when under siege.

Support for ostrich farm implementation After foreign fishing companies operating on the coast of Senegal have caused the local fishing business to disappear unemployment in Mlomp village is even higher than the average 48 % in Senegal. The nurishment has become less and is missing on protein. T
he planned ostrich farm will produce a remarkable change on this situation. The project will create employment in farming in processing meat and eggs in sales and logistics and processing skins into products. This is expected to bring work opportunities fo
r women and young unemployed in particular. Strong handicraft tradition prevails in the village. The main problem in the village is that practically no employment is available specially for young people. The ostrich farm would create jobs for approx. 10 pe
ople for growing fodder and animal care and a larger number of jobs in handicrafts. The Mlomp village lives in a large extent in barter economy growing rice and vegetables, the people have very little money. After the investment and revenues arriving from 
outside Mlomp many people would earn directly or indirectly some money either from working at the farm or from selling handicrafts or from selling vegetables for those who are employed. Even a small income may have the impact that people feel empowered to 
stay in the village instead of moving to the cities where no employment or food is easily available. The farm workers would have regular income and the candicraft producers income from sales. The major part of the revenue would flow for the Association to 
be used for mutual benefit like eg. the sick fund.

Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Egypt Despite the changes that swept Egypt during 2011 Egypt still lacks strong institutions which protect human rights and Egyptian citizens lack proper access to the information which they require to inform themselves sufficiently about their rights. The Integ
rated Human Rights Education Programme has been specifically developed to address this problem by disseminating and promoting human rights culture values and knowledge to Egyptian youth and providing a space for them to discuss and act upon political and s
ocietal developments from a human rights perspective. This project seeks to cater for both those with little if any prior engagement with concepts of human rights and to those who already have some knowledge but are keen to expand upon this knowledge to ex
press ideas with other youth and to engage in human rights advocacy. The project will respond to the lack of knowledge of human rights in Egypt by training more than 100 Egyptian youth in human rights and advocacy. The follow-up Alumni Network Forum and Yo
ung Trainers Program will develop the critical thinking capacity and rhetorical skills of participants of the 2012 Student?s Summer Course as well as of CIHRS alumni of previous years so as to enable them to effectively advocate for human rights.

the marginalised and most vulnerable members of the communities. Regional approach is needed because problems do not respect national borders. Networking awareness building and training promotion of innovative approaches in social work and and advocacy wor
k are the main aims of the project.
Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Kenya The Constitution presents considerable challenges for the forest sector. The most critical issue is how forest management obligations will be shared between the national and county governments. At the county level counties are required to be largely self-s
ustaining. This demand is already making communities and county leaders lay strong claims over natural resources which they target as source of revenue. Many new issues with important links to local forest governance are emerging in the global arena. There
 are emerging trends towards large land acquisitions by foreign firms for biofuel and agriculture. There is a lot of misconception misinformation and concern about these issues at national and local level. Most local communities do not understand what thes
e means for their livelihoods and the sustainability of their forest resources.This project is premised on the need to empower local communities to actively and effectively participate in the implementation of Kenya's Constitution 2010. It aims at empoweri
ng communities to realize the host of constitutional provisions and rights on environment and natural resources.Project Objective: -  to build capacity of local communities to participate effectively in forest governance by strengthening community institut
ions (CFAs and CFA networks)- support implementation of the Constitution at county level by fostering participatory forest governance influencing the development of county legislation on forest management benefit sharing and forest concessions

ply and safe sanitation are lowest. Finland has supported the Africa programme in 2009-2011 and based on the positive experiences it was deciced to continue the support in 2012-15.
Humanitarian food assistance/WFP Humanitarian food assistance through WFP to Niger a total support EUR 1 million. The Sahel region incl. Niger is suffering from the effects of climate change on agriculture and the region has over the past decade experienced recurrent food and nutrition cr
ises. The wide-ranging needs for food assistance will continue in Niger in 2013. About 2.8 million men women and children lives in food insecure areas which is an estimated 10 per cent rise since last November despite last year's good harvest season. WFP i
s targetting a total of 1.8 million people in Niger. WFP's Niger operations include food distribution cash and voucher assistance food for assets programs aimed at  providing skills for improved household and community food security and targeted nutrition 
programs as well as special operations for humanitarian logistics. WFP's Niger operations will still need 105 million U.S. dollars for the end of the year.
Decentralized Forest and other Natural Resources Management Programme Although Zambia has one of the fastest growing economies in Africa the poverty rate in rural areas - 77 % in 2011 - has not decreased and the gap between the wealthiest and poorest population is growing. There is a direct link between poverty and the statu
s of environment and natural resources. Most of the rural population is highly dependent on forest resources for food security e.g. non-wood forest resources (nuts fruit mushroom caterpillars) on wood resources for constructions and as source of energy. Al
so in poverty stricken rural areas extraction of trees for charcoal production and timber offer the main source of income.  The use and management of forest and other natural resources in Zambia are complex and challenging for most stakeholders especially 
for the local communities. This project is aimed at developing a mechanism that can address the difficulties faced by local stakeholders in forest and natural resources management and contribute to the sustainable use and management of forest and other nat
ural resources.
Lutheran Action against Gender Based Violence The project focuses on gender based violence (GBV) a serious human rights violation as well as a social and a public health problem concerning all sectors of society. GBV is widespread phenomenon in the Southern Africa and presents a major obstacle to atta
ining gender equality. Project objective is to empower Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa (ELCSA) and local communities at large in Southern Africa (South Africa Lesotho Swaziland and Botswana) to address GBV. Churches play a key role in these 
societies to overcome GBV as they hold great authority and are able to influence social issues in all levels of society. Gender equality is one of the human rights objectives agreed upon in the United Nations. Gender justice is also one of the cross-cuttin
g priorities of the World Lutheran Federation and Southern African Development Community. Altogether poverty and other forms of injustice impact unevenly on men women and children and thus there is a need for actions that promote gender equality. Project r
espects also other cross-cutting development policy objectives notably redument of inequality and climate sustainability. The project does not create any new structure or institution but will be positioned at the existing structures of ELCSA. The ultimate 
beneficiaries of the project are victims and survivors of GBV the potential victims of GBV and the communities they are part of. While GBV is usually targeted at women and girls boys and men may also be victims of GBV. GBV can occur within the family or co
mmunity and is perpetrated by persons in positions of power. Understanding that discrimination and violence based on gender takes place invites everyone to be an agent of change. The indirect beneficiary of the project is the ELCSA who will learn approache
s and methods to respond to ever increasing exploitation of the vulnerable people. Key activities include 1) effective project management and administration, 2) creation of holistic view on GBV among ELCSA training of ELCSA leaders personnel and volunteers
 to respond to GBV development of awareness raising tools and materials and  establishment of trainers' peer network, 3) training of community members to respond to GBV in local level awareness raising on gender rights in communities and peer support and c
ase management of victims of GBV, 4) network building with relevant stakeholders attention brought to challenges faced by victims of GBV and share of best practices.

f the society. Stigma and discrimination has so far hindered the process of HIV Prevention because people fear to go for HIV testing to know about their status. To respond effectively to this challenge, empowering Church leaders who have respected position
s in the community can reduce discrimination of people living with HIV and AIDS and enhance the knowledge on HIV and AIDS. During the implementation process, the project will enhance HIV and AIDS responses in the community by creating awareness and trainin
g Church leaders on the basic facts of HIV/AIDS. The project will sensitize the community through community forums and church Meetings. The projects activities will involve top Church leaders training, Training of trainers, formulation of HIV and AIDS mate
rials, distribution of HIV materials to the trained Church leaders, formulation of HIV and AIDS policy, establishment of support groups of people living with HIV and AIDS and support to Orphans and vulnerable Children in their education. The goal of this p
roject is to contribute to the reduction of the spread of HIV in the community and improve the wellbeing of people living with HIV and AIDS. Through a Just, safe and caring Church/partner, people infected and affected by HIV will have relief and find a saf
e place where people living with HIV and AIDS will be accommodated and involved in community activities.  The society will be transformed to create an HIV and AIDS friendly environment with zero stigmas and zero discrimination. People living with and affec
ted by HIV and AIDS will know their rights and enjoy their wellbeing.
