Support for strengthening of cooperation among the biodiversity related conventions Tuki biodiversiteettisopimusten välisen yhteistyön vahvistamiseksi In order to implement the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and its Aichi Biodiversity Targets efforts to improve cooperation and collaboration among relevant international processes are more important now than ever. Building on prior decisions of 
the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) the twelfth meeting of the Conference of the Parties adopted decision XII/6 on strengthening such synergies.The purpose of the project is strengthen cooperation among biodi
versity related conventions in order to enhance implementation at country level particularly in the developing countries. The specific objective of the project is to establish a Party-led process aimed at supporting Parties to the biodiversity-related conv
entions to enhance synergies and improve efficiency among the conventions with a view to enhancing their implementation at all levels. A contribution of 200 00 euros will be used during 2015-2016. Luonnon monimuotoisuutta koskeva yleissopimus (Convention on Biological Diversity - CBD) teki osapuolikokouksessaan 2014 päätöksen luonnon monimuotoisuutta koskevien kansainvälisten ympäristösopimusten (biodiversiteettisopimukset) välisen yhteistyö
n vahvistamisesta. Tämä päätös tukee CBD:n 2011-2020 strategisen suunnitelman toimeenpanoa. Hankkeen tarkoituksena on edistää  biodiversiteettisopimuksten välistä yhteistyötä jotta niiden toimeenpano erityisesti kehitysmaissa helpottuu ja tehost
uu. Tätä varten käynnistetään sopimusten osapuolimaiden välinen valmistelutyö minkä on määrä johtaa suosituksiin sopimusten osapuolikokokuksille sopimusten välisten synergioiden tehostamiseksi. Ympäristösopimusten toimeenpanoa vahvistamalla t
uetaan myös kehitysmaiden köyhien oikeutta puhtaaseen ympäristöön ja luonnon monimuotoisuudesta saataviin hyötyihin ml. ruokaturvaan. Hankkeen 200 000  euroa on määrä käyttää vuosina 2015-2016. Suomen rahoitus kohdentuu kehitysmaiden edustajien

F.a: Trade Union Rights in the Public Sector in Ecuador The project strengthens the capacity of trade unions to promote the realization of workers’ rights in the public sector in Ecuador.In Ecuador, the power and elbow-room of the labour movement has been narrowed considerably during the past years. The Ecuad
orian government has been systematically trying to increase the role and control of the state over activities in society, such as in civil society and in the labour movement. Labour rights in the public sector have been narrowed during the past year with t
he help of new laws and regulations, which means that the bargaining system in the public sector has been weakened even further. As a consequence, the trade unions in the public sector have weakened and the labour movement has lost its foothold as a negoti
ating partner and as a driving force in society. Despite economic growth, public sector wages have not grown, but working time has increased e.g. in the health sector. The example of the public sector can have a wider effect on the entire Ecuadorian labour
 movement, which is stigmatized by its shattered character and lack of unity. The main goal in the project is to get all public sector workers under the same legislation and to support the development of the new union in the public sector national level so
 that it would cover all public sector workers in the future, irrespective of the form of employment.By the end of the project, the unions have created and executed important proposals for change*(such as a coherent legislation for all public sector worker
s, guaranteeing public services for all groups of people and creating a bargaining system for state workers), the operational and organizational fusion process for  the unions has progressed, the economic administration and communication of the unions has 
become more efficient and the union leadership has received training in bargaining and labour rights.The project beneficiaries are Public Services International (PSI)  affiliated unions and all workers in teh public sector.Project is implemented by Public 
Services International together with its 11 Ecuadorian affiliates.

Decentralized Forest and other Natural Resources Management Programme Metsä- ja muiden luonnonvarojen paikallishallinnon tukiohjelma 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. Vaikka Sambia luetaan yhdeksi Afrikan nopeimmin kasvavista talouksista köyhyysaste maaseudulle ? 77% vuonna 2011 ? ei ole vähentynyt ja kuilu rikkaimman ja köyhimmän väestön välillä kasvaa. Köyhyyden ja toisaalta ympäristön ja luonnonvarojen til
an välinen yhteys on suora. Suurin osa maaseudun väestöstä on erittäin riippuvaisia metsävaroista ruokaturvallisuutensa takaamiseksi (esim. pähkinät hedelmät sienet toukat) sekä puuvaroista rakentamiseen ja energialähteeksi. Lisäksi köyhimmill
ä maaseudun alueilla puutavaran ja puuhiilen tuotanto on väestön pääasiallinen tulonlähde. Sambian metsien ja muiden luonnonvarojen hallinta on monimutkaista ja haastavaa erityisesti paikallisväestölle. Hankkeen tavoitteena on kehittää mekanismi 
jolla kyettäisiin käsittelemään paikallisen väestön kohtaamia haasteita metsien ja luonnonvarojen hallinnassa ja edistää metsien ja luonnonvarojen kestävää käyttöä.
Tampere Social Forum Market of Possibilities and Winter Forum 2015 Tampereen sosiaalifoorumi Mahdollisuuksien tori ja Talvifoorumi 2015 The project consists of three happenings and their participatory planning  process. Tampere Social Forum Market of Possibilities and Winter Forum take place at Tampere in 2015. Around 70 non-governmental organizations and networks participate in planning o
f the happenings and organize various events within them. The themes discussed in the events are all connected with global justice and development issues: environmental justice democracy multiculturalism human rights etc. The happenings gather thousands of
 people and offer them information and new perspectives on these issues as well as effective ways to act for better future. The project also contributes to networking and exchanging of ideas among local NGOs and activists. Hankkeessa toteutetaan Tampereen sosiaalifoorumi Mahdollisuuksien tori ja Talvifoorumi -tapahtumat Tampereella vuonna 2015. Tapahtumien suunnittelu ja toteutus osallistavat noin 70 kansalaisjärjestöä ja muuta yhteiskunnallista toimijaa. Tapahtumissa kä
siteltävät teemat nousevat kansalaisyhteiskunnasta ja ne liittyvät laajasti kehityskysymyksiin ympäristöön demokratiaan kansalaisyhteiskuntaan ja monikulttuurisuuteen. Teemoja käsitellään monipuolisesti luentojen keskustelujen työpajojen kulttuur
iohjelman kautta sekä toritapahtumassa. Tapahtumat tavoittavat tuhansia tamperelaisia ja tarjoavat heille tietoa ja tuoreita näkökulmia globaalin oikeudenmukaisuuden kysymyksiin sekä tapoja osallistua ja vaikuttaa yhteiskunnallisesti. Hanke edesauttaa 
lisäksi paikallistoimijoiden verkostoitumista yhteistyötä ja näkemysten vaihtoa globaalikysymyksiin liittyen.

Support to Zambia National Farmers' Union Core Support Programme Phase II Tuki Sambian kansalliselle viljelijäliitolle Core Support Programme vaihe II Finland has supported Zambia National Farmers? Union (ZNFU) under the Core Support Programme (CSP I) through the years 2009-13  and the next phase (CSP II 7692 Million Euro) will cover years 2014-2017. CSP I which ended in December 2013 is one of Finland?s
 most successful projects in Zambia and has proven to be a very successful way of supporting smallholder farmers in increasing agricultural productivity incomes and food security. The next phase of the support aims at enhancing ZNFU?s research capacity lob
bying and advocacy function and provision of diversified and improved member services for the smallholder farmers. CSP II serves to increase the coverage of the overall programme in terms of geographic reach across rural Zambia and income levels by about 2
0% for at least 50% of the targeted farming households. The CSP II is designed to improve ZNFU?s capacity to provide better quality services to smallholder farmers in the following fields: Improved access to on-farm productivity enhancing technologies; imp
roved and expanded access to market and trade facilities by piloting diversified market and facilitation services; enhanced and expanded access to capital and productive assets for small scale farmers; improved access to land and security of tenure. Suomi on tukenut Sambian kansallista viljelijäliittoa (Zambia National Farmers' Union ZNFU) vuosina 2009-2013 ja jatkotuki (7692 miljoonaa euroa) kattaa vuodet 2014-2017. Joulukuussa 2013 päättynyt Core Support Programme I (CSP) on yksi Suomen menestyne
immistä hankkeista Sambiassa ja se on osoittautunut tehokkaaksi tavaksi parantaa pienviljelijöiden tuottavuutta tuloja ja ruokaturvaa. Tuen tavoitteena on vahvistaa järjestön tutkimus- lobbaus ja edunvalvontafunktioita sekä parantaa ja monipuolistaa e
rityisesti pienviljelijöille suunnattuja jäsenpalveluita. CSP II tukee ZNFU:n palvelujen maantieteellisen kattavuuden parantamista ja se pyrkii lisäämään tuloja 20%:lla puolessa hankkeen kohderyhmän kotitalouksista. CSP II on suunniteltu erityisesti
 parantamaan ZNFU:n kapasiteettia tuottaa pienviljelijöille palveluja seuraavilla osa-alueilla: Maatilojen tuottavuutta parantavien teknologioiden saatavuuden parantaminen kehittämällä ja monipuolistamalla koulutuspalveluja; markkinoille pääsyn edist
äminen ja kauppaa edesauttavien instrumenttien pilotointi ja käyttö; pääoman ja tuotantovälineiden saatavuuden parantaminen pienviljelijöille parantamalla ja laajentamalla olemassa olevien rahoituspalvelujen saatavuutta sekä kehittämällä uusia r
ahoituspalveluja; viljeltävän maan saatavuuden parantaminen ja hallintaoikeuden turvaaminen.

F.a: Trade Union Rights in Central America The project aims at strengthening the capacity of the public sector unions to defend the rights of the workers in this sector and to lobby for the ratification of ILO conventions 151 and 154 in El Salvador and Nicaragua. The rights of public sector workers
 to organize and to bargain collectively are violated by many ways. Collective bargaining is allowed only to restricted groups of public servants. In Nicaragua, the government tends to intervene in trade union movement by supporting only unions that are al
lies to the government. In El Salvador only certain groups of public workers are allowed to join unions, for others it is forbidden. The project strengthens public sector unions and their advocacy capacities so that they can effectively advocate for the ra
tification of ILO conventions 151 and 154. The ratification of these conventions would improve the rights of public sector workers and would give an important tool for the unions. The project will improve the capacity of unions and increase the participati
on of women and young workers in the unions. The cooperation between unions and other relevant actors (ILO, CSI/CSA, labor centers) will also be improved and better focused. The beneficiaries of the project are the public sector unions, for example in the 
health sector. If governments do ratify ILO conventions 151 and 154 this will benefit all public sector workers in these countries.

FLC: Refugee Consortium of Kenya The Refugee Consortium of Kenya is a registered national Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) under registration certificate NO. OP.218/051/2004/0230/3356. RCK was initiated in 1998 in response to the increasingly complex refugee situation in Kenya. The cor
e mandate of RCK is promoting and protecting refugee rights in Kenya and in the East Africa region through provision of legal aid in Kenyan courts of law on asylum related matters; legal counseling and advice in the refugee status determination (RSD) proce
ss; advocacy for creation of refugee-friendly policies and laws and promoting and monitoring the protection of refugee rights through research and documentation.Kenya is host to approximately 579790 refugees and asylum seekers from the Horn of Africa and t
he Great Lakes Region. Of these over 70% are women and children. Majority of refugees and asylum seekers are found in 3 main locations namely Dadaab refugee camp Kakuma refugee camp and Nairobi for urban refugees. Whereas Garissa town is settled by pockets
 of refugees it is a major transit point for asylum seekers and refugees to and from Somalia Dadaab and other urban areas. The participatory assessment conducted by UNHCR on 19th February 2014 revealed that women continue to face risk of GBV as a result of
 insecurity in the camps inadequate alternative sources of fuel that force women to go fetch firewood in the bush where women are raped by bandits. Current interactions with clients in our legal aid clinics continue to confirm the same. This indicates ther
e is a continued need for GBV response and preventions. The UNHCR Comprehensive Needs Assessment report highlighted the need to increase support and accessibility of services to persons with disabilities.The main objectives of the proposed project: ?To inc
rease access to justice and legal assistance for refugees and members of host communities? survivors of SGBV within Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps and Garissa by August 2015;?To improve access of psychosocial support to survivors of SGBV within Kakuma ref
