Both ENDS IMVO facility 2016-2017 The Dutch government is committed to the development and implementation of agreements between companies, social organizations, trade unions and government in the field of International Corporate Social Responsibility (IMVO) and it granted a subsidy of EUR 996.346to ensure a structured and professional involvement of civil society and trade unions in the preparation of IMVO covenants in the Netherlands. The subsidy is Intended for Dutch based established  civil society organizations involved in the IMVO Covenant negotiations. The current covenant trajectories are on: Nutrition, insurers, gold, floriculture, sustainable natural stone.
The administration of the funds is operated by Oxfam Novib on request of the MVO Platform and the Ministry.
Protect the Environment and Secure Lands Briefly, in one or two paragraphs, summarise Oxfam Novib's relationship to date with this organisation. Also, mention any other salient points for the reader that will not be in either in this Appraisal or in the Counterpart and Project Description.

Kesan  emerged  from the youth group Karen Nature Conservation Group, which has its origins in Thai  refugee camp. Its founders who practically grew up in the camps participated in an inspiring environmental training from Images Asia Environment Desk (a former Oxfam Novib partner) in 1997 leading to the creation of Kesan in 2001.

While initially addressed at improving rural livelihood security and gaining recognition and respect for local and indigenous people#s rights in Karen State, recent ceasefire and peace process negotiations have pushed Kesan to focus more on policy advocacy, land registration and management, and building networks among key government and civil society actors. It is now in the process of establishing a presence in Yangon.

Given this direction, Kesan will remain as a strategic partner to contribute to three key programs of Oxfam Novib: natural resource management in relation to conflict transformation, DRR and resilience and potentially humanitarian response given the potentialrepatriation of some 130,000 officially registered refugees along the Thai-Myanmar border who fled decades of ethnic conflict,  back to Myanmar. Significant number of these refugees are Karens.

As mentioned in the evaluation of Kesan (Dec 2013):
#Kesan#s impressive work and strategic interventions have strengthened Karen communities to be able to withstand the ongoing threats to their security and livelihoods. KESAN has also equipped them with skills and resources to be better prepared for the new challenges that they and their children will be facing in the future.#

However, the resultant budget cut as a consequence of country budget reduction will have a more significant impact on Kesan#s programming as Oxfam Novib is their biggest, single donor.Hopefully, with the approval of the regional Water Governance Program, Kesan is assured of more resources to drive this aspect of its program specifically the Salween River advocacy work.

St. Medio This project focuses on program development leading to a 5 -year multi partner program in which African and Dutch investigative journalists jointly will develop media productions and publications concerning issues that matter (global issues of injustice).

Digital revolution has shaken the entire media world. This has led to uncertainty within the established order of journalism, but also to space created for new initiatives. This will mainly have to be done from within, by connecting to developments which are already going on, no matter at what early stage,

- The meaning of freelancers for Dutch media has considerably increased and became essential.Freelancers who want to survive, will have to specialize. Building their own networks (organizing know-how ) is an important condition (' Changing media landscape');
- Both the media and the individual journalists have a growing need for databases from reliablesources .

Despite the sometimes poor quality of the media in many African countries, the continent has a growing number of highly qualified journalists. This enables equal collaboration between African and Dutch journalists (see the report " White spots on the map' of Kees Schaepman and Bob van der Winden, on which this project is based). Based on these recommendations, the Stiching Medio has developed a project that focuses on a platform for intensive cooperation between journalists from the Netherlands and Africa. In 2014, 10 (pilot) exchanges will take place between Dutch (European) media. These include, amongst others, Stichting Worldcom, ZAM, FPU and African networks (Witzi University, Panos , FAIR ). On basis of these pilots, the Stiching Medio now has developed a project that aims on the exchange between participating journalists from the Netherlands (Europe) and African journalists. This project aims to systematize the experiences of the exchange partners, to come to an executable support program for such forms of cooperation, andfinally to create a network of partners. Besides, a global network on investigative journalism will be identified.

It can lead to a sustainable, specialized network for participants in co - productions. A concept note will be written which will be the basis of the multiannual program. In September 2014 all lessons learned from the pilots will be shared at a seminar in the Netherlands (in depth) and in November at a seminar in Johannesburg (University Witzi).

These seminars serve as an important step in the creation of this network. The "message" used at the seminar is "Cooperation is possible, although necessary barriers it will have to be conquered". In addition, specific solutions will be presented by the participants. The perspective of the action: "let one, two, many partnerships flourish". Ultimately, this should lead to an international media platform in which through working together, nuanced stories are published in the Netherlands and in Africa. This can lead to improvement of understanding, approach and policy/debate.
Sustainable Agriculture Land Management The project is the next phase of a two years support to the communities from the same partner. In the previous project a sea embankment was constructed to stop sea intrusion. Another aim was to save the lives and livelihoods of the affected communities from sea intrusion. As a next phase of the previous project; this project will be implemented in 40 villages located in 4 union councils of district Badin, Sindh Province. 8400 beneficiaries (30% female and 70% male) will be targeted from 4 coastal union councils. The beneficiaries belong to agro-fishing communities and are the most vulnerable to climate change induced disasters that have been taking place in the area intermittently.
The project will support the communities to adapt climate smart agriculture practices which are relevant, and will improve their capacities to practice sustainable land management practices to avoid agriculture and harvest losses. While contributing to sustainable development goals; the project as a case study will be used for influencing agenda for pro-poor policy development and provision of resources at the local level.
Strengthening the capacity of CSOs The importance of strengthening the capacity of Civil Society organizations and local authorities in South Sudan and increasing thecommunities participation in the development process is acknowledged by a number of national and international strategic documents such as the South Sudan Development Plan 2011-2013 where the Government of South Sudan commits itself to strengthen and support the involvement of civil society in ensuring good governance and acknowledges the significant lack of "experienced andtrained personnel to undertake government work across the board in South Sudan to provide the effective service delivery that the people of South Sudan require now"

The main problems to be addressed are:
1. Weak structure of civil society.
2. Lack ofcivic awareness among communities.
3. Lack of trained civil society experts.
4. High rate of gender inequality and inaccessibility of statutory justice system.
5. Poor performance of the gender desks established at the police stations in Western Equatoria due to poor community to police relationship, poor equipment/infrastructure, weak investigation and prosecution skills.

Women's Empowerment Mainstreaming and Networking (WEMAN) Value chains and the rural economy: making it work for women and men.

Join us in enabling vulnerable women and men in rural Africa and Asia to address the root causes of their poverty.

Using the power of symbols and principles of inclusion, we helprural populations to improve livelihoods and gender equality, negotiate better prices for their goods and increase their influence on local economies. We mobilize people and institutions to work towards common visions of change.

Women in poor rural areas often can#t own property and don#t have much say in what happens to the household income they help to earn. Peer pressure on men to behave #like a man# restrains them from saving money and investing in household welfare. This holds back families and communities. Greater gender equality typically means healthier children and more productive, faster-growing local economies.

Many organizations work on issues such as agricultural value chains, local economic development, financial services and agricultural extension services. But it#s estimated that less than 1 in 10 of these programs explicitly address gender inequalities. The others could have more impact if they did.

We work with local organizations and businesses as well as UN agencies, other donors to support them put gender frameworks into practice in their programs. We help women and men in marginalized rural communities to articulate their ambitions and understand how greater gender equality can improve their livelihoods and lives. With morecontrol of their own development process, rural communities negotiate better prices for their products, better work conditions, and more relevant services.

ARSIS Management Hotels in Epirus Region In response to the "Winterization Plan for the Refugees (People of Concern) in Greece" and especially to the request of Greek Ministry of Migration Policy, OXFAM Novib, undertook the movement, relocation and provision of food and accommodation of 327 PoCs (Persons of Concern) in Hotels of Epirus Region in December 2016. The first movement of PoCs held during the second week of December, when the Ministry of Migration decided to move vulnerable families from emergency sites of Northern Greece (Softex, Derveni, Oreokastro and Diavata) to village Ligia (Ionian Hotels (2) of Preveza Prefecture in Epirus Region. The second movement took place two weeks later, when the Ministry of Migration requested the PoCs from the emergency site of Katsikas to be moved to the Hotels of Epirus region(village Eksohi and town Igoumenitsa). One more movement of PoCs held in the beginning of January, when vulnerable families from the emergency site of Derveni moved to third Hotel in village Ligia. Furthermore, OXFAM Novib is planning to move the rest of PoCs from Katsikas site (who are accommodated temporarily in Igoumenitsa), to Hotels in Ioannina region until the end of January.

Country Office 506574 Oxfam Novib Nigeri The conflict in the northeast has aggravated the vulnerability of displaced people as well as the host communities. Thus the WASH infrastructure/resources of the host communities have been overstretched, further adversely affecting equitable access to safe water and sanitation, with attendant risk of outbreaks of water borne diseases. Lack of adequate sanitation facilities mean that women andgirls often have to wait till it is dark before they can defecate in the open, posing security as well as risks from snake/insect bites. The CERF intervention shall help bridge the access gap in WASH services by providing live-saving WASH assistance to the affected populations pending the implementation of larger responses including the government#s Presidential Initiative in the North-East (PINE), the Victims Support Fund (VSF) and the Joint Humanitarian Action Plan to stabilize response situations

Women Civic Education in Puntland MFS Funded project:
Puntland is going through a democratisation process and plans to hold their first democratic elections after delays - the first round of elections will be the local elections planned for 30 June 2013 (hoping that no postponments are made in the coming weeks). Following discussions with partners and members of the Democratisation Coordination Committee (DCC) gaps on civic education targeting women was identified.

The project seeks to support WAWA to continue with an already ongoingactivity (WAWA funds from Diaspora)   focusing on civic education targeting women. The following activities will be supported

1. Training/workshop for village committees/local councils on women participation and knowledge on civic/political rights of citizens # this will target village committee members and local councils. This will be in order to sensitise them on the importance of women participation and encourage support for women vying for local council elections.
2. Sensitization forums in each of the target areas # these forums will be used to disseminate election/voter education information. Focal persons will assist to organise women to perform role plays, recite poems, and songs sending messages that will resonate with women voters.

3. Information dissemination during Abaya Abaya (sermon sessions) neighbourhood sessions # different things and information will be passed during these sessions. Female members will be encouraged to assist vulnerable groups during the election process. Female members of the community and youth will be sensitized on how toassist pregnant women, wait on each other#s children, and assist the elderly during the voting process. The sessions will also be used as forums to pass on voting information for example, whydo we need to vote and will include discussions on who is a good leader based on local concept of qualities of a good leader.

The activities will be implemented in Ba#adweyn, Badhan, Iskushuban, Qardho, and Bandarbayla villages in Puntland. This projectwill contribute to outcome 52.
