Frame agreement with NGO (Siemenpuu) The project continues the work on climate justice and community rights that Siemenpuu supported through DISHA during 2012-2013 (11018AAS). In this new project the RVC will function as the host organization and legal holder, but the project involves support
 to the same network, India Climate Justice (ICJ) forum. Also the person responsible for the project, research-activist Soumitra Ghosh, is same as in the previous DISHA?s project.  The project will be implemented by a group based in North-East India, with 
a long track record of working on climate and natural disaster issues.In spite of the revival of the ICJ and the work made by other groups, however, climate change has not become a mainstream political issue and neither do the affected communities perceive
 it as a life-threatening chain of extreme weather events, which it really is. The process needs a continuous support to remain visible and effective. The present project is conceived with the limited but strategic focus of making the ICJ (or any other col
lective programme that might lead to a strong climate justice movement in India) effective and ensure that the work made under the previous projects is followed up adequately and more collectively. This would ensure that affected communities and the Indian
 civil society can come together on the crucial climate justice issue.       In the present project the aim will be to build on the previous work and reach out to more groups and people to strengthen peoples? understanding and response to the interrelation
ship between the prevailing neo-liberal model of unbridled energy and capital intensive economic development with the climate crisis. Efforts will include studies and collective campaigning with emphasis on thermal power and coal mines (mainly Maharashtra)
, hydro power (mainly Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Northern Bengal and Sikkim), large-scale wind and biomass energy projects (mainly in Maharastra and Karnataka)and also the methods of adaptation and disaster readiness of the communities in mountain areas. On
e important task will be to exchange information and experience with groups/movements engaged in similar programmes in other parts of the globe, including global networks like Financilization of Nature, World Rainforest Movement, and Global Forest Coalitio
n, as well as more regionally focussed groups such as MEE Net in the Mekong region.The project is expected to generate new knowledge on the impacts of large-scale energy projects, foster the clima
Dalit Artisans' Empowerment Project in Haltipada Haltipada village is one of the poorest and isolated dalit artisans' villages in rural Balasore district in Odisha. Villagers suffer from violence and extortion committed by the upper caste community members. Possibilities to reach a stable income level by
 self-employment are hindered by lack of access to markets and insufficient skills to diversify and develop their products in Haltipada. Very few of them have official identification documents and therefore no access to loan systems or possibilities to get
ting organized through artisan groups. Lack of basic infrastructure educational opportunities and job opportunities contribute to the cycle of poverty in Haltipada. Overall objective: Women and men girls and boys in the most vulnerable and marginalized com
munities are empowered to realize their right to adequate standard of living as full and equal members of society in Balasore district of Odissa state in India. The project will contribute to this by strengthening professional skills economical status and 
thereby self-esteem of the dalit community contributing to decreased discrimination. The project promotes gender equality by giving emphasis to women?s vocational training and by analysing related gender roles. The main aim of the project is to empower the
 dalit artisans and thereby the community through vocational training that is seen as a key strategy for reducing discrimination and inequality. Climate sustainability will be addressed through use of environment-friendly raw materials and techniques for p
roducing crafts.The project supports the establishment of artisans' self-help groups and a cooperative structures recognized nation-wide enabling the artisans to get organized have access to government loans and to create joint marketing. The capacity of t

Sport Sans Frontieres/Sport4Youth 2014 -Sport Sans Frontieres is registered since 2002 in Kosovo. SSF actions in Kosovo are directed to Kosovo?s youth and aim to reduce discrimination by providing spaces and opportunities that bring together ethnic communities through sport physical activities 
and games. Recognised as a neutral organisation Sport Sans Frontieres is acting as a facilitator of dialogue. Web page: www.sportsansfrontieres.org.-Education and training systems in Kosovo both formal and informal cannot currently meet the demand and the 
needs of Kosovo?s children and youth both in terms of quality and quantity. Most pupils only attend class 4 hours a day as two classes must rotate the same day through the same classroom with the same teacher. . Children and young people spend too little t
ime in the classroom and consequently have too much unstructured free time with little to do. This time could be used to organize sports and artistic activities non-formal education and awareness-raising sessions. Thus the project also intends to develop t
he use of sport as a tool to educate children from diverse backgrounds. The children benefiting from sport activities are learning basic values such as tolerance fair play respect of the rules and team spirit that are important for their development and wi
ll help them shape their personality.-The expected results of this project are: a) The dialogue between the different communities is enhanced, b) Volunteers have gained valuable skills, and c) Children have acquired new values knowledge and life skills.-Th
e main aim of the project is to contribute to social inclusion of youth in society especially of children and youngsters from minority communities. The project has three specific objectives:  1. Create bridges among communities 2. Empower youth 3. Provide 
children with informal educationSSF activities will take place in 12 localities: Gracanica Kacanik Kamenica Mamusha Mitrovica Peja Roma Mahalla (in Mitrovica) Strpce Shtime Skenderaj and Tuneli i Pare. Activities will also start in Mitrovica North, In the 
selected localities SSF Kosovo will develop strong partnerships with the relevant actors (municipalities youth centers schools etc).

Frame agreement with NGO (Fida Int.) Empowering Partners for Community Development. The objective of the project is to improve the capacity of the partners to respond to social challenges in post Tsunami Sri Lanka. Fida's partners are Alliance Development Trust and the Assemblies of God Ceylo
n. Good relations during Tsunami relief work inspired continuation of cooperation between the partners and development of sustainable project ideas. The Programme will help complete some tsunami rehabilitation but focus more on supporting local partners? i
nitiatives. Issues such community development are challenges to social work in Sri Lanka because of the on-going conflict. Nevertheless, the project addresses good governance, community development and vulnerable group issues by educating and improving the
 capacity of nationals and partners while promoting the use of local resources. By encouraging, training and empowering local actors, they will be enabled to continue the work on their own after the project. The civil society will be strengthened and given
 a sense of dignity as the potential of positive interventions in the society is realized using local resources that support sustainable development.
Frame Agreement with NGO (Plan International Finland Foundation) The programme aims to increase participation by students especially those from marginalised and excluded groups, and their parents / caregivers in school affairs and management for equitable access to quality education. The programme builds the capacity of
 student councils, school management committees and education officials on school governance and accountability. In Uganda over 90% of children enter primary school but over 50% of students who enroll in primary one either repeat classes or drop out before
 completing the full seven years, more so girls and children with disabilities. Besides low completion rate, the quality of learning outcomes is equally poor meaning that children are going to school but not actually learning. The current national school g
overnance system described in the education laws emphasizes community participation in school governance but with little emphasis to the role of the learners. Increased participation leads to reduced teacher and pupil absenteeism, joint planning and usage 
of funds, improved capacity to support the work of the schools and finally to improved learning and teaching outcomes. The programme is implemented by Plan Uganda together with education officials and communities.
Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) Lack of access to formal education and skills trainings and the lack of employment opportunities for the youth make them particularly vulnerable to exploitation and abuse and limit the opportunities available to them. To address these challenges, the proje
ct will support the vocational training and small business support to the targeted youth, including demobilised child-soldiers, single- mothers, girls formerly associated with armed forces and groups, street children, and orphans. The project provides a sm
all-scale credit facility through M-PESA mobile money system, because most microfinance institutes do not reach out to the territory of Masisi. Also, in most cases the targeted youth are not eligible for credit in banks or MFIs. Therefore, the project prov
ides them an important start-up capital to build their businesses.In DRC, girls and women often face systematic discrimination and to address this, the project has a specific focus on promoting women?s empowerment and enhancing their livelihood opportuniti
es and income generation. The objective is that they will become economically empowered and in the longer run increase their self-esteem, social status and participation in decision-making in their families and communities. At least 50% of the targeted sma
ll businesses are run by women, but the project targets that 80 % will be girls. Objectives: The targeted trained youth are engaged in sustainable and profitable socio-economic activities and integrate professional life through the creation of small busine
sses.  In 2015, the targeted youth will continue to receive skills training in the profession of their choice (transformation of agricultural products, livestock development), in small business management, life skills, savings and loans, and will be suppor
ted to develop and monitor their business plans. Others, who have graduated in 2014, will benefit from the 12 month long business incubator period. ETN will continue to grant loans ranged from 300 and 700 EUR/per individual) to the youths? businesses that 
were established in 2014. The amount of the loan is fixed according to the established needs of the business, the quality and feasibility of the proposed business plan, and the number of persons participating in the business. ETN has contracted Vodacom M-P
ESA mobile money system to be technically in charge in distributing and receiving the reimbursements of the loans. First loans are of small scale, and gradually the youth can receive bigger loans.

INGO/International union of forest research organizations (IUFRO) The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) has a recognized status as an advocate for the international cooperation in forest research and as an educator of research institutions and scientists. IUFRO has 630 member organizations incl
uding all the most significant forest research institutions such as the Finnish Forest Research Institute (METLA).  The partnership agreement between the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and IUFRO was signed in 2006 intended to enhance the contribut
ion of international research community to international forest related policy processes especially the work of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF). IUFRO's global programmes include the Special Project on World Forests Society and Environment (WFSE
) initiated by METLA. In addition IUFRO has launched a new panel on forest science and produces policy brief publications targeted at political decision makers. WFSE has proved to be able to produce multinational and multiscientific information for develop
ing country societies which strengthens political decision-making. The Expert panel has been able to produce basic information for the UN Forum on Forests among others and for the COPs of Multilateral Environmental Agreements. In 2014 Finland supports IUFR
O with 300 000 euros. Finland's contribution is directed to research on international forest policy via WFSE project (still coordinated by METLA) to the activities of the Global Forest Expert Panels (GFEP) to support the implementation and synergy of the R
io environmental agreements as well as to the strengthening of research capacities of developing countries through the Special Programme for Development of Capacities.

Development of teaching Physical Education at University of Dar es Salaam Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences The goal of the project is to improve the quality of physical education in all levels of education from primary schools to university level in Tanzania.At the moment the students of University of Dar es Salaam Department of Physical Education and Sports Sc
iences (UDSM-PESS) can graduate as Bachelors. Project will support UDSM-PESS to develop the curriculum and increase the quality of Bachelors' Degree level.The project concentrates especially on development of didactics and pedagogy of the physical educatio
n in Tanzania. These are the cornerstones of development of PE in Tanzania as the quality of pedagogy is poor.There are about 10-30 students of each class at UDSM-PESS. Several of them continue to teachers colleges as sports tutors. LiiKe has supported 12 
colleges in PE and Health Education (HE) in 2009-14.The cooperative partner of LiiKe in the project is University of Jyvaskyla Department of Sports Sciences (JyU) which is specialized in teaching pedagogy and didactics. The project invites the tutors from 
teachers colleges to update their knowledge and increase the capacity on pedagogy and teaching methods. Once returning to the teacher's colleges they are able to increase the quality of teaching to improve the knowledge of students becoming primary and sec
ondary school teachers in PE.Almost all PE teachers lack of skills in teaching pedagogy and teaching different sports. The project will support their future capacity to teach and the results will be seen in all levels of education.To sustain good knowledge
 in the UDSM-PESS there is a need to increase the number of postgraduate students as well. At the moment there are 3 post graduate students outside Tanzania studying PE. One is in UK (Joyce Ndabi) one in Sweden (John Kazungu) and one in Kenya (Ismail Panga
ni). Currently there are three Ph. Doctors in PE (Mr. Hamad Ndee 62 Mr. Cyprian Maro 46 and Mr. Steven Mbagala 46) and two not defended (Jonas Tiboroa Devota Marwa) at University of Dar es Salaam. Within the next 4 years all post graduate students will ret
urn to UDSM-PESS and strengthen the bachelor's degree program. The project will also assist minimum one student annually to start the post graduate studies at the Jyvaskyla University Department of Physical Education. This ensures the continuation of the g
ood quality Bachelor's degree studies in UDSM-PESS.
