Water losses (katcha water courses, water wastage)
Less agriculture production
Conflicts among water users especially the tail end farmers
Large landholders influence the timing and supply of water
No information system exists for small and tail end farmers to inform them about the opening and closure of any canals/distributaries.
Polluted irrigation system due to sewerage and industries
Over installation of tube wells to extract ground water for irrigation
Non transparent system of income and expenses in canal irrigation department properties including rest houses and other installments
Katcha water courses are not maintained/aligned on regular basis
Illegal mogas/nakkas

Sahel Food crisis Regional Coor Oxfam GB 2012 Settlement Balance Sahel Food crisis Regional Coordination
SEC Field Visits to Eth,Uganda and India High use of antibiotics in animal production and multi-resistant strains of microbes are a problem in animal farming in both India and the Netherlands. According to a recent scientific review study in the UK this will lead to global crises by 2050, with more deaths than cancer today  the majority in poor regions of  Africa and Asia.

In the Netherlands, where numerous initiatives to reduce antibiotic use are being experimented with, with emphasis on law-enforced reduction of antibiotic use by farmers and veterinarians, animal health improvements, and milk quality control. In India age-old techniques with the use of medical plants and other natural products have been developed and  since the early 1990s  revitalized. This process of documentation, assessment, propagation, and popularization of the use of medicinal plants is unique in the world, and provides important insights elsewhere.
In 2014 the exchange between experts in the Netherlands and India that combine both experiences has been very successful. This project aimed to reduce the use of antibiotics in dairy production in India and the Netherlands, by increasing the use of medicinal plants and other natural products, combined with integrated animal management and milk quality control. Within both countries the exchange has resulted in numerous new initiatives, strengthened networks, room for the use of medicinal plants and other sustainable practices in dairy farming,and important coverage in the press.
In 2015 there will be a follow up of the India - Nl  exchange, and a new exchange between Uganda and Ethiopia  will be set up. This approval concerns  two major exchange activities, one related to the visit to  Ethiopia  and Uganda in March 2015, and one related to the visit to India in April 2015.
Campaigning on VAW in South Sudan New Sudan Women Federation (NSWF) is an indigenous South Sudanese non-governmental organization established in 1995.  The organization was established to improve the socio, economic and political status of women in the New/South Sudan and the recognitionof their human rights granting equitable and full participation in the development of their individual communities and South Sudan at large. NSWF is an umbrella organisation of 45 women groups operating in 8 counties in South Sudan.

Oxfam Novib has been in partnership with NSWF since 1997.  Since then NSWF has been implementing projects with a focus on women rights, adult literacy and legal aid.  Overthe period NSWF organises numerous literacy classes and provides broad paralegal assistance in 8 mainlocations: Bhar El Ghazal (Rumbek, Wunrrock, Mapel), Equatoria (Yambio, Maridi, Mundri, Tambura) and Upper Nile (Panyangor). In all areas mentioned, paralegal assistance, mainly providing community awareness, counselling and legal support, has been key in supporting women#s access to claiming their legal rights. NSWF also implemented a 2.5-year (July 2010 # December 2012) campaigns project on gender based violence and women rights in the above states. Reported case studies have proven to be a viable source of information for lobby initiatives. Given the existing resources (i.e. number of paralegal officers) to increase impact, given the population and the high incidence of VAW throughout the country, there is a need to upscale the existing project through external funding opportunities.  NSWF would further enhance their impact through coordinated lobby and advocacy work in order to influence national policies/plans and approaches to VAW. Oxfam Novib and NSWF will cooperate on campaigning on VAW in South Sudan and at a regional level.

This proposed project is a continuation of the just concluded 6 months campaigns project.  This project will be implemented in the 3 counties namely Maridi, Mundri andYambio in Western Equatoria State. In addition to this project, ONL will implement an organizational capacity building program aimed at strengthen NSWF#s institutional capacity, operational systems and accountability.  The capacity building component is vital to the partner in preparation for external fundraising from different donors to support their ongoing programs given the phasing out ofMSF II funds.

SW, Fair Finance Guide International This is part of the BankWiser project.

BankWiser International (BWI) is a project that organises and aims to create additional civil society capacity in 7 countries (Belgium, Brazil, France, Indonesia, Japan, Netherlands, and Sweden) to evaluate and monitor major commercial banks policies and practices, and to mobilize bank clients to request a more responsible banking sector. The project establishes a methodology for research and analysis of bank policies and practices, provides evidence-based support for critical dialogues with banks, and stimulates campaigning and agenda-setting on regulatory policies, social responsibility and development relevance of the main banks. The project builds on a pioneering model developed in the Netherlands since 2009, which was followed by a similar initiative in Brazil in 2012, both of which demonstrate leverage and potential for bringing about change.

BWI will fill the gap of a global and comparable standard for responsible banking, which is based on widely accepted international norms and conventions. It will unite various civil society interests covering the broad social and environmental issues which banks impact. The project is expected to lead to improvements in the CSR policies and practices of banks, more informed engagement by the public, and more awareness and debate about banks responsibilities toward society.
