Country Office 503416 Counterparts Nairo This is an EC funded project. The major challenge facing the two ministries is lack of fisheries experts to carry forward the ministry's mandate. According to the Minister of Fisheries in Somaliland there is a need for more personnel with expertise and knowledge in fisheries to be able to cover the geographical area of the coastline and to be able to train the personnel in fisheries#. There is a general lack of fisheries expertise and there is a high level of brain drain of fisheries experts from the ministry to Europe and other parts of the world.  In addition, there is a lack of appropriate policies, regulations and training in fisheries and marine resources management for fisheries personnel in the ministry.

The ministry also lacks funding and finances to fulfill its mandate. Ministry of Fisheries has not been a government priority in terms of financing the ministry in Somaliland <(>&<)> Puntland.
Lack of recognition of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) by international community led to illegal fishing and dumping of toxic wastes along theSomaliland and Puntland coastline. The Somalia transitional road map contains measures that would address illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.

The specific objective of the action is to strengthen the capacity of the Ministries of Fisheries and Marine Resources in Somaliland and Puntland and private sector to maximize and manage marine resources and environment through adoption of the following two approaches:
1. To build capacity of the authorities in Somaliland and Puntland to formulate and put in place improved policies, regulations and monitoring mechanisms to manage marine resources and the coastal environment. The resultant policies areto form the legal basis for the protection of the right of these areas of Somalia over their sovereign waters and their jurisdiction over the marine environment.
2. Strengthen the capacity of the Ministries of Fisheries in Somaliland and Puntland to put in place a favourable working environment for artisanal fishermen.
Global Campaign for Education NL 2015 Oxfam Novib provides a membership contribution to GCE NL for the activities in 2015.
2015 is a crucial year for education in general. In 2015, the Millennium Development Goals for education and the Education for All goals must be achieved. During World EducationForum in May in South Korea 15 years of working on the EFA goals is being evaluated. Also in the UNESCO Global Monitoring Report 2015 this theme is central. Both the WEF as the GMR 2015 provide important input to the Post 2015 Calendar - and the educational goalsthat must be part of it - that will be established by the UN in September. The Global Action Week of GCE International will be linked to this UN event as GCE international is indeed established to advocate for the realization of the EFA and Millennium DevelopmentGoals.

In 2015 GCE-NL also wants to organize the Dutch launch of the GMR report 2015 and possibly a public campaign linked to the launch. For this purpose, contact is being made to the national UNESCO commission on possible cooperation in the launch of the GMR 2015 in the Netherlands.

Scaling Up Sustainable Palm Oil (SUSPO) The SUSPO programme aims to ensure the recognition and protection of land rights of communities in palm oil producing countries, notably in Indonesia, by governments, and to ensure the respect of land rights by palm oil companies, resulting in access to decision making regarding their land ownership and use rights.

Over the years the expansion of palm oil plantations in Indonesia has gone hand in hand with land grabbing from local (indigenous) communities resulting in over 3,500 conflicts  of which the majority remains without remedy. The loss of land has lead to both economic and social problems for (indigenous) communities leading to decreased food security, lower income and social destabilisation. Women#s land rights are hardly taken into account. Labourers on the palm oil plantations work under poor labour conditions, often severely marginalising their socio-economic position. Oil palm plantation workers experience that their rights to organise are hindered by companies, they face poor safety and health conditions especially for women, low payments (below minimum wage) and inequality of payments between men and women.

The approach is to link project activities at country level ( communities, districts  and national level) to activities at global level at the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and vice versa.
A coherent set of project components have been formulated: empowering communities affected by palm oil plantations in securing their land rights, sustainable land use planning (multi-stakeholder community mapping), strengthening the position of oil palm smallholders, land rights policy reform at national level through lobby and advocacy, setting the agenda for decent work in the palm oil sector, strengthening the social agenda of the RSPO through leading the Human Rights working group (promoting land rights, labour rights, Free, Prior and Informed Consent), through improving social auditing mechanisms, through improving dispute settlement mechanisms and monitoring the sustainabilityof the solutions provided.

The project components are currently being implemented in Indonesia and at the global level of the RSPO. Indonesian partners are the Oxfam country office, TuK Indonesia (#Transformation for Justice#), LBH Medan (Legal aid organisation) and JKPP (#Participatory Mapping Network#). Allies to our work at the RSPO include Forest Peoples Programme and Both ENDS. Scaling up of the Oxfam sustainable palm oil work is being considered in DRC, Nigeria and Burma. The RSPO work is currently being done by highly experienced Oxfam Novib policy advisers based in the Hague.
Current donor agencies of the SUSPO programme are: Ford Foundation (land rights, labour rights, RSPO) and the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs (sustainable land use planning). Also Oxfam Novib invests with its own funding sources in the programme. Other donors were: Foreign and Common Wealth Office (FCO), Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), Ford Foundation.
YFCA Red&Mit Gender based Violence The project specifically focuses on gender-based violence/violence against women. In Yemen women and girls are subject to differentforms of gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) including intimate partner violence, sexual violence, early and forced marriage, deprivation of freedom of movement and of choice, forced pregnancy and female genital mutilation and/or cutting (FGM/C). Perpetrators are partners, family members, community members and security personnel.
On the basis of its experience in GBV related issues the YFCA decided to concentrate on the following interventions:
1) Drawing up legislation against GBV  Advocacy. The phenomenon of violence in general and against women in particular can only be addressed by the formulation and implementation of real laws that protect the rights of women and society, and by taking precautionary measures to deter the perpetrators of thesecrimes.
Advocacy work which will involve the creation of a technical group to review existing legal texts and reviewing previous studies and proposals by women national committee and civil society organizations towards the drafting of a GBV law and amendment of GBV-relevant texts.
2) Capacity Building
a. Service providers: on the basis of its experience and insights on GBV the YFCA decided tofocus on the education with regard to prevention of GBV and the protection of victims by stakeholders from health and legal services, specifically police and health workers. The present project intends to integrate GBV-issues in the curriculums of the Police Academy to ensure that all graduates of the Police Academy acquire sufficient knowledge on GBV and the skills to refer the cases to the necessary service providers.
b. The project also will create a coordination mechanism between major health providers, Police stations and local councils to initiate a local referral system and reporting on the survivor cases through YFCA mobile clinic and health centres at targeted governorates. In addition at these governorates YFCA have been training health educators and they can help the new educators and share their experience with them.
3) Awareness raising:  the YFCA will conduct 150  dialogue sessions ((30 per governorate) with the general audience at community level to identify the ideas among  men and women on  the concept of GBV and to promote an exchange between men and women and the start raising awareness on GBV. This information will serve as a recommendation for the authorities and MOI decision makers to get an idea about the changes they should promote at community level.
4) Partnership & Networking.
The YFCA will also contribute to enhancing the coordination and networking between the local NGOs in the targeted governorates; to mobilise members of Local Councils and religious authorities, community and family members (males and females) to contribute effectively to the reduction of violence in  general and GBV in particular and to advocate for womens rights issues in the targeted governorates.
CLUA 3 Head Office As part of GROW, Oxfam launched the Behind the Brands (BtB) campaign in 2013 in order to influence
and facilitate the food and beverage (F<(>&<)>B) sector in advancing global food and climate justice. Through
BtB we successfully encouraged the Coca-Cola Company and Pepsico to take a #zero tolerance# policy to
land grabs in its supply chains; Mars, Mondel#z and Nestle committed to develop plans of action to
address gender inequities in their cocoa supply chain; and General Mills and Kellogg made landmark
climate commitments with new policies to address emissions throughout their value chains, strengthen
their existing GHG reduction targets, and raise their voices as advocates for governments to take
meaningful climate action. Oxfam intends to build on this strong track record as wepivot to a focus on holding companies
accountable for their deforestation commitments; ensuring that they are implementing these
commitments; pushing companies to engage their suppliers; grounding global advocacy in country
engagement; and strengthening the social and human rights dimension of these commitments.

Mobile phone scorecards improvement Public administration services (land registry, business registry, etc) in Vietnam are inefficient and corrupt. Citizens and businesses suffer from non-transparent procedures, constant delay and requests for bribes for better services. Citizens are frustrated and want to change this situation, but do not know where to give feedback or how their individual feedback can reach the government.
Mobile phone scorecard (M-Score) is a solution for citizens to score performance of public servants via phone calls and text messages immediately after they complete a public administration service. Their feedbacks are then compiled into rankings among public officesand published on mass media as pressure on government to improve public services.

Country Office 505233 HUB, NIAMEY, NIGER The program objectives are:

1. Interest companies (media, telcom) to engage inCSR;
2. Helping to develop a value chain around agri-food products, including livestock feed, poultry and fish;
3. Contribute to Grow campaign supporting the promotion of local products, including the improvement of their quality (a study is needed to understand the real reasons for resistance to using local produce prices, presentation, and regular availability reliability, taste, logistics, etc etc);
4. Possibly work with civil society to recommend, therefore plead to state measures to create a favorable environment to achieve the objectives mentioned above.

The theory of change behind this idea is that the responsibility to operate in a profitable and sustainable value chains and / or to create a competitive market cannot, must not fully meet the efforts of small producers, supported and strengthened by projects. Companies have a responsibility to promote the sector (private) and to contribute to sustainable development. An analysis of power is necessary to know the strengths and existing players that promote or block the development of sustainable and profitable value chains and development sector.

Niger CO will work this year (august 2014-july 2015) to develop the content and strategy of the program according to local context.
