CSR-facility: Let's do it right in Myanmar - supporting strong corporate social and environmental responsibility In the absence of a fully effective legal framework for environmental management in vulnerable emerging states, like Myanmar, it is vitally important that corporations voluntarily exercise their social and environmental responsibility to avoid pollution and excessive use of natural resources. The project looks to generate solutions for voluntary corporate environmental responsibility in Myanmar, while at the same time advocating for and supporting the necessary capacity development for CSR standards to be instituted. 

This will be done through initiatives in three areas:
1) inputs to the environmental area in existing developing initiatives regarding strengthening of legislation and regulation of corporate social responsibility

2) promotion of public rights regarding access to information, public participation and access to justice in environmental governance, and strengthening the capacity of civil society and media to hold businesses accountable for their environmental impact; and

3) partnerships with 'best in class' corporations within environmental responsibility to demonstrate concrete solutions.
Støtte til civilsamfundsbaserede HIV/AIDS-indsatser for mænd som har sex med mænd i Afrika The International HIV/AIDS Alliance is a global alliance of nationally-based, independent civil society organisations with the objective of securing the human rights of all people affected by HIV/AIDS in low and middle income countries, with a particular emphasis on vulnerable and marginalised population groups. It is particularly concerned with the access to health services of groups exposed to stigmatisation and discrimination, such as commercial sex workers, men having sex with men etc. 

The Alliance was set up in 1993 to support communities in developing countries to play an active role in the global response to AIDS. It works through a network of over 35 so called linking organisations in the South. The overall objective of the organisation is to stop the spread of HIV and to end AIDS. It is pursued through actions to promote health and human rights via direct engagement with and through local communities.

Denmark has supported the Alliance since 1999. Denmark supports the International HIV/AIDS Alliance's work to increase access to HIV and reproductive health and rights information and services for men who have sex with men. The intervention focuses on four African countries: Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe and supports national civil society engagement and strengthening. Local partners and organisations are supported to carry out their work. The activities include supporting and strengthening civil society capacity to advocate the human rights of marginalized groups, raising awareness, creating the links between the communities and health services, training health care staff on meeting all patients without stigma and discrimination etc.

Support to the 10th Bangladesh Parliamentary Election The main objective of the Project was to enhance the transparency and accuracy of election results and the management of the
candidate nomination process of the Bangladesh Election Commission (BEC) through the
development of a computerised results management system and candidate management system. However due to the volatile political situation and amid the boycott of the 10th Parliamentary Election by the opposition, some activities could not take place, as planned. Later UNDP came up with a broader project aiming at creating a more conducive environment for stakeholders including political actors to generate and participate in inclusive public policy dialogue on big society issues. Although some achievements in the originally planned activities were made in the area of training and capacity building, ensuring transparency and effectiveness in candidate information management and election result management, supporting major procurements and logistics for elections, etc. However, it was identified that several of the planned activities notable in the area of voter education and training were substantially reduced from that was initially planned as a result of volatile political situation and the decisions of the opposition to boycott the polls. In this circumstances, the participating Development Partners agreed to have some revised activities under the project. Accordingly the Project has been provided with a no-cost extension until September 30, 2015 to implement those activities. However due to reduction of activities the full Danish amount remained unspent. UNDP completed the project and returned the Danish contribution. Thus this project is considered as non-materialised project as far as Denmark is concerned and will be closed accordingly.

Study on Illicit Financial Flows from five African Countries Developing countries, including in Africa, are losing billions of dollars each year due to illicit
financial flows - funds that could otherwise have been used to invest in development. The
Washington based think tank Global Financial Integrity (GFI) has conducted research which
reveals that developing countries in 2010 lost between USD 859 billion to USD 1,138 billion
due to illicit financial outflows. The MENA region had the highest growth rate of illicit capital
in real terms in 2001-2010 (26.3 per cent per annum on average), followed by Africa (23.8 per
cent) and Asia (7.8 per cent). The major part of illicit financial outflows stem from trade mispricing, in Africa 65 per cent.

The strategy for Denmark¿s development cooperation gives key priority to Danish efforts to
fight against tax loopholes, address illicit financial flows and promote a fair taxation of natural
resources in the world¿s poorest countries. Locally in Danish priority countries, not least in Africa, the issue of curbing illicit financial flows, not least in countries with recent large oil, gas
and mineral finds, is increasingly part of Denmark¿s and local development partners¿ on-going policy dialogue with the government. The grant will fund a more detailed analysis on the magnitude of illicit Financial outflows and possible measures against such flows in 5 Danish priority
countries in order to complement Danish policy efforts in this field and provide data and analytical
tools for relevant Danish embassies in their efforts to try to lift this agenda locally together with other development partners. The Objective of the study is to analyse the magnitude of illicit capital outflows stemming from mispricing of trade in Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda and outline and outline possible policy options against such flows.

Support to Formulation The Sahel region is among the worlds poorest with a security situation that has deteriorated over the past years, and the development in Mali is an apparent evidence of the instability in the region. The current situation reflects well how regional, national and local circumstances are interdependent and requires stabilisation efforts that address both the causes of the conflicts and their influence across the region, in order to promote sustainable development and security. 

To address these issues, the Danish government has launched The Danish Regional Sahel Peace and Stabilization Programme 2013-2017. The programme¿s overall objective is to contribute to international efforts to increase stability in the Sahel region. The Sahel Programme focuses on activities in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.

The root causes for the present crisis in the Sahel are due to several intertwined factors, notably a) chronic underdevelopment, b) continuous humanitarian crises, c) underlying political and security concerns. The latter political and security concerns may be summarised in three headlines: 1) Unresolved conflicts, 2) lack of security, and 3) the rise of violent extremism and organised crime.

Accordingly the Sahel programme has been designed around these three headlines and has three components: 
Contribute to enhanced mediation and conflict resolution, where the focus is especially on local level mediation and conflict resolution, as the local conflicts can often act as triggers or drivers of the larger, national and regional conflicts.
Contribute to improved security, where the focus is on enhancing the democratic control of the security sector in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso by building capacity of Parliaments, civil society and Ministries of Defence.
Contribute to the countering of violent extremism and organised crime, where the focus will be on new ways to counter violent extremism and on improving the regional cooperation on combatting organised crime.
