However t
hese initiatives face external and internal threats. There has been little participatory analysis of the forms of support communities themselves would like to receive to enhance the resilience of their conservation initiatives and “Buen Vivir”. The aim
 of the project is to provide policy advice on effective and appropriate forms of support for community conservation. The project will document and review the findings of bottom-up, participatory assessments in at least 10 different countries of the resili
ence of community conservation initiatives and the support that should be provided to strengthen these initiatives. The results of the assessments will be widely disseminated and fed into the relevant international policy processes like the UN Framework Co
nvention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biodiversity and the World Forestry Congress through an active outreach and advocacy campaign. The project is expected to have significant multiplier effect by building the advocacy capacity of indigenous peopl
es and local communities and by providing targeted advice to influential policy processes that can generate effective and appropriate support and enabling environment for community conservation initiatives. The project will contribute to a global dialogue 
between a diverse group of rights holders and other actors on how to strengthen the resilience of community conservation initiatives and Buen Vivir in the light of local and global threats. It will include, but not be limited to, a dialogue on defending co
mmunity conservation against forest-related threats like deforestation, the commodification and financialization of forests, and the promotion of monoculture tree plantations. The results of the assessments and conference will be disseminated through a ran
ge of outreach and advocacy activities, specifically targeting the World Forestry Congress in September 2015. Main activities: 1. Build the capacity of indigenous peoples, local communities and their support groups to apply the participatory methodology of
 the community conservation resilience assessment (CCRI) 2. Document and review the findings of at least 10 community conservation resilience assessment processes and organize a multi-stakeholder conference 3. Implement an active outreach and advocacy stra
tegy to disseminate the main findings of the community conservation resilience assessment and multi-stakeholder conference.

Human Rights training Valtionapu ihmisoikeuskoulutukselle The discretionary government grant supports the participation of approximately eight professionals from developing countries to the advanced trainings organized by the grant recipient. In addition two researchers will be offered an eight-weeks-stay at the 
institute for human rights at Åbo Akademi. The professional participants will be chosen amongst researchers teachers government officials and jurist. The participants are given the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the international human rights pr
otection and promotion and of different national mechanisms for implementing and protecting human rights. During the previous years the participants have held key positions in universities governmental offices and non-governmental organizations. The partic
ipants come from ODA-eligible (the OECD list of development assistance countries ODA-DAC) countries in Africa Latin America and Asia. Therefore the training benefits mostly an enlarged group of people in developing countries. The government grant will enab
le the recipient to offer stipends to two different trainings:1) Advanced Course on Law Development and Human Rights (17.-21.8.2015)2) Advances Course on Justiciability of Economic Social and Cultural Rights (16-20.11.2015)The content of both courses corre
spond to the priorities of the Human rights Strategy for the Foreign Service of Finland by promotion of economic social and cultural rights and they also relate to the objectives of the Development Policy Programme of Finland through the promotion of a hum
an rights based approach to development . Non-discrimination gender equality and reduction of inequalities are the crosscutting themes in Finland?s Development Policy Programme and Human Rights Strategy. The non-discriminatory realization of ESC-rights is 
a key component in reducing inequality and poverty. Valtionavustuksella tuetaan noin kahdeksan kehitysmaista kotoisin olevan henkilön osallistumista Suomessa järjestettävään ihmisoikeuskoulutukseen. Koulutustoiminnan tulee tukea ihmisoikeusperustaisen kehityspolitiikan toimeenpanoa ja edistää ulkoasi
ainhallinnon ihmisoikeusstrategiaan kirjattuja kärkihankkeita ja läpileikkaavia tavoitteita. Valtionavusta ilmoitetaan ja hakemuksia käsitellään lain edellyttämällä tavalla. Kansalaisjärjestötyöntekijöiden tutkijoiden opettajien virkamiesten ja
 juristien keskuudesta valituille osallistujille annetaan mahdollisuus syventää tietouttaan kansainvälisestä oikeudesta erityisesti ihmisoikeuksista ja mekanismeista niiden täytäntöön panemiseksi ja suojelemiseksi. Valinnan suorittaa valtionapua sa
ava yliopisto. Aiempina vuosina toteutetuille kursseille valitut henkilöt ovat olleet avainasemissa yliopistoissa valtionhallinnossa ja kansalaisjärjestöissä. Osallistujat tulevat ODA-kelpoisista (OECD:n kehitysapukohdemaalista ODA-DAC) maista Afrikast
a Latinalaisesta Amerikasta ja Aasiasta. Näin suurin hyöty koulutuksista kohdistuu suoraan laajennettuun ihmisryhmään kehitysyhteistyömaissa.
