RESEARCH & DEV. AFRICAN WOMEN WIN-AAWORD Progressive international action on livelihoods and sustainable development dictates the need to address three inter-related objectives: Address food security, while dealing with the effects of climate change that are already being felt by the poor and vulnerableespecially small scale farmers; Ensure space for Africa#s development and in support of a just transition investing in small scale farmers and in Agricultural economy and calls for a  paradigm shift that supports strategies for achieving equitable development, realizing human rights, and the well-being of populations in the context of sustainable development. It is on the basis of these realities that intensified efforts by civil society and particularly small holders active participation in decision making and inclusion in policies to advocate for their interests.

It is against this backdrop that the efforts of ESSAF and its partners become more relevant since the impacts of investing in small scale agriculture and family farming will be felt at the local level and therefore theactive participation of the stakeholders at the local, regional and national levels is critical for the advancement of decisions reached through institutions and policy makers at all these levels.  This reality raises the question of governance within the agricultural agenda and practices.
ESSAF fills a capacity building and coordination need as small farmers increasingly feel marginalised and challenged by new agriculture trends and agribusiness for example bio fuels, carbon credit,Guided by the human rights approach in its quest to focus on women discriminated against in Africa as its main target group, AAWORD/AFARD, in its strategic Plan 2014 - 2016, will in the next three years fight against gender disparities and will continue to exert influence on the major policies and programs in Africa for significant, positive and concrete changes in the lives of women.

Contributing to the attainment of gender equality during the next three (3) years, AAWORD/AFARD will focus on economic justice and democratic governance and will also address emerging issues related to violence against women, to the impact of climate change on the health of women and their economic activitiesand gender in migration.

AAWORD/AFARD willuse its technical leadership and its position as a Think Tank to address the root causesof gender inequalities that perpetuate poverty, and advocate for political and social changes that will help transform the lives and livelihoods of women of all agesand communities in order to improve their lot. AAWORD/AFARD will not only raise awareness on development issues from a gender perspective, but also will strive for the transformation of and introduction of GMOs and seeds. This is pushing them to become organised at local level and increasingly at national level and regional level.

CO-Afghanistan Joint Response Oxfam is part of the Afghanistan Joint Response (AFJR), a coalition of Dutch-based NGO#s that provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to IDPs fleeing the escalating internal conflict in Afghanistan, returnees from Pakistan and Iran, Pakistani refugees and theAfghan host communities. This 6-month joint programme is implemented in the most affected districts, with Oxfam operating in Nangahar and Kunduz.

The key objective of the AFJR is to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable people affected by conflict (including host community), IDPs and returnees, protect their dignity and reduce their vulnerability with winter rapidly arriving in the country.

The AFJR will focus on activities in the priority sectors that have been identified in the UN Flash Appeal, OCHA, UNHCR and IOM weekly reports and the Humanitarian Response Plan 2016 for Afghanistan. These sectors are: Shelter <(>&<)> NFI, Food Security and WASH. This emergency response will respond to immediate needs and gaps of selected objectives within these sectors, with a strong focus on winterization.

BEDARI-Marriage: No Childs Play Oxfam Novib and its partners, Bedari and Indus Resource Center (IRC), will implement the MTBA programme in four Union Councils (UC), namely  Larkana and Shikarpur in Northern Sindh and Muzaffargarh and Lodhran in South Punjab. Over the 5 years of implementation, the programme will target a total of 80 villages.
Review of secondary literature indicates that the issue of child marriage is multilayered, spanning socio-cultural, religious, economic and legal dimensions. Any effective measures to address it, therefore, need to be multi-pronged confronting these various dimensions. Moreover, social norms and values, including honour and tradition, are major factors that play a role in early marriage. Therefore, interventions need to be comprehensive, with multiple entry-points, and, moreover, be firmly rooted with the local context. It is for this reason that the MTBA in Pakistan emphasises creating awareness and promoting harmful norms change whilst contributing to a more egalitarian and safe environment for adolescent girls. The MTBA will sensitise and build the capacity of youth to claim their rights and to protect themselves from child marriage.

The project is aimed ataddressing the issue of child marriages through multi-pronged strategies. Its planned outcomes are:
Outcome 1:  Young people are better informed about SRHR, including adverse effects of child marriage and empowered to voice their needs and rights
Outcome 2: Increased access to formal education for  girls at risk of and affected by child marriage
Outcome 3: Increased access to economic opportunities for girls at risk of and affected by child marriage, and their families
Outcome 4: Increased access to child protection systems for girls at risk of and affected by child marriage
Outcome 5: Increased utilization of SRHR services that are responsive to the needs of young people, particular girls at risk of-, and affected by child marriage
Outcome 6: Increased engagement and collective social action against child marriage and in support of ASRHR
Outcome 7: Supportive rights-based legal and policy environment against child marriage
improved sanitation and hygiene for inte After heavy torrential rains in central and northern regions of Afghanistan reported landslides had affected some communities, thenon 12 April a landslide directly engulfed Khoja-Khairab village in Rustaq district of Takahr province affecting 118 families destroying homes and livelihoods. The affected families were forced to flee to Dashte-e-Qala district, remarkably, there were no fatalities. On 13 April 2014 some humanitarian assistance was provided including food rations, emergency health, tents and NFI (clothes, winter kits, and kitchen kits).

The landslide hit Khoja-Khairab village of Rustaq district # Takhar Province - on the night of 11/12 April 2014.  The 118 families living in the village (corresponding to 826 individuals) left their homes and moved to a safer location.To date, there are still no reports about persons being injured or killed. Families are now living in a temporary location in campsand with host communities. The communities# livestock, food and belongings were all lost in the landslide. As the damaged houses are no longer useable, and the village is not possible to inhabit. Government Institutions and Humanitarian Organizations are providing Humanitarian assistance, but the affected population is still in need of further assistance.
The rapid needs assessments reports indicated that the major needs consisted in Food, Health and sanitation/hygiene. WFP has supported the affected population with food assistance. Tents were distributed by ARCS. Some NFI were distributed by UNCHR and other active organization.  DRRD  provides drinking water. DoPH established a mobile clinic in the area. Most of the needs are responded to, but Sanitation and Hygiene promotion arestill a gap, with a very limited number of public latrines available, which increases the risk of communicable diseases.
Oxfam and its partner AHEAD already completed necessary needs assessment and designed its intervention, in coordination with the relevant stakeholders. Oxfam is providing Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) support to the landslide affected population in Takhar.
This project aims to support the vulnerability of natural disaster induced 118 IDP families in Dasht-e-Qala district through provision of basicWASH services (provision of sanitation facilities, hygiene training and hygiene kits).
Through implementation of this project, the following activities will take place:
# Conduction health and hygiene awareness training for 118 male and 118 female
# Distribution of health and hygiene kit for 118 landslide affected families
# Construction of 20 public latrines
Economic and Social Development Center The Improved Access to Markets for Female and Male Small Scale Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Producers in the West Bank aims to improvemarket systems and governance in the agriculture sector, specifically in the fresh fruit and vegetable (FFV) subsector, inthe interest of small-scale producers (SSPs) and sharecropping farming communities working in the West Bank, and thus lead to a sustainable increase in their income levels.

The overall goal of this Programme is to contribute to sustainable farming practices and increase the income of small-scale women and men FFV producers in the West Bank. The Programme will operate at two levels: one, at the sub-sector level to facilitate the overall market system for the FFV producers, and two, at the value chain level to address the opportunities and constraints in the selected specific product value-chains. These two inter-connected layers will be approached from the small producers# perspective, with clear benefits to women farmers.

Key programme stakeholdersinclude the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the Ministry of Local Government (MoLG), municipalities, other donor programmes mostly focused on exports, as well as urban wholesalers and Israeli traders, select export companies, and key NGOs involved in promoting cooperatives, extension and market services. Different types and modalities of partnerships will be negotiated during programme start-up phase.

THP Communication Project 2015 The Hague Process on Refugees and Migration (THP) is oriented towards obtaining practical insights and enabling its partners in thesearch for solutions in the refugee and migration field. THP is aware of opportunities for a constructive approach that takes as its point of departure the positive contribution of refugees and migrants to economic and social development. With a series of Expert Consultations, THP is addressing the nexus of migration/refugees and urbanisation in the context of globalisation and from the perspectives of businesses and local government. The Expert Consultations collect input from participants presenting their perspective onrefugee and forced migration challenges in relation to their professional objectives. The Expert Consultations work towards findingcommon ground and drafting a common agenda.
Integrating Natural resource Management Within the Lao PDR, a large number of government agencies and CSOs are working in local communities where they observe threats and disputes involving the access of the local communities to natural resources, such as land and water, which are barriers to their mutual goals of sustainable development, improving local livelihoods, ensuring food security, and maintaining social harmony. Many of these front line organisations do not have the capacity to help those local communities protect their rights to land and water resources. The key water governance issues of resettlement due to dams and loss of watershed due to illegal logging can be mitigated by providing communities, local civil society and local government stakeholders with knowledge on community rights and how these can be implemented.

A few organisations have successfully empowered their target villages to resolve natural resource conflicts, by providing their target villages with a strong understanding of citizens# rights in relation to natural resources as well as the legal and administrative methods to access the justice system. However, these organisations are too small to reach all of the communities around the country by themselves.

This scenario presents an opportunity and a need to consolidate the experience, methodologies and capacities of trainers from the organisations that have succeeded, to then transfer this capacity to the numerous frontline government and CSO entities throughout Laos that are faced with similar issues. This will ultimately enhance the protection of land and water resource rights in Laos.

SRHR-E Program (Bangladesh / DOEL)- FPAB This is a five-year program, initially known as #DOEL#, implemented by five national level organizations i.e. BRAC, HASAB, FPAB, CAMPE and BNPS. The culture in Bangladesh is very conservative and sensitive about SRHR issues and does not allow open sharing of information on these issues. This #silence# prevents the people, particularly adolescents, to access to the information, supports and services which contribute to the persistence of high prevalence of early marriage and maternal-child mortality. The project seeks to break this #silence#. The objective of this project is to improve the sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) status of adolescents (60% girls) through creating increased access to information and services. The project adopts a comprehensive approach combining, campaigning, peer-education, teaching-learning approaches to achieve the program objectives. Initially, the project is covering twelve sub-districts of six (06) districts targeting to reach 45,000 grade 6 to 10 students and 300,000 out of School youths to educate them on SRHR as well as increase the awareness of at least 5% of the parents of adolescents on SRHR issues. The project also targets to mobilize 15 leading media journalists to advocate the SRHR issues as well as sensitize 50 potentially opposing political leaders, who are confronted with the Muslim teachings on SRHR and safe behaviour, and motivated to support formal and informal SRHR curricula. The program will be extended its coverage more upon receiving funding supports from external sources.

Strategic Partnership D&D "Towards a worldwide Influencing Network" The Strategic Partnership (SP) "Towards a Worldwide Influencing Network" is a Lobby and Advocacy programme with the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme enables global and local influencing work on three thematic areas: 1) Right to Food; 2) Greater Responsibility in Finance for Development; 3) Conflict and Fragility. The ambition of the SP is to achieve policy changes by governments and the private sector to the benefit of groups facing poverty and injustice, and to strengthen civil society#s capacity to demand for such change. The SP is implemented over a period of 5 years by an Alliance consisting of Oxfam Novib and SOMO.
Strengthening the Apiculture Value Chain the Project will focus its work in Kotido and Lira. where there are cultural and environmental challenges.  In Koitido, the projectwill build on the recent work Oxfam did in Karamoja with JICAHWA to provide an alternative source of livelihood to the communities who are in transition from nomadic pastoralism to more permanent settlement. Yet the  climate and environment in Karamoja are challenging for arable farming and agriculture livelihood alternatives are limited. This is forcing communities to turn to charcoal makingwhich is environmentally destructive and unsustainable # and does not offer a long term sustainable pathway out of poverty. Unlike cattle keeping, which is an economic activity carried out by men, beekeeping is an activity which provides livelihood opportunities to women # there are no cultural barriers against their participation.  Parts of Lira have been left economically disadvantaged as aresult of the long-running LRA insurgency. The honey value chain presents the opportunity particularly to rural women to get involved in productive and income generating activities quickly to improve their quality of life with minimal land, time and capital investment requirement. Also in both districts of Lira and Kotido, the vegetation and crops (such as Gum Arabic, shea nut tree and sunflower) support production of honey with market preferred colour but the problem is that local people have limited technical skills andknowledge in honey value chain, have limited access to market and value chainfinancing and hence a continued failure to harness this potential. They instead resort to charcoal burning, an activity which threatens the area that already experiences long dry spells.Casual labour is another coping strategy but this traps women in further poverty as they are paid less than men, and their earningsare minimal and offer no long term path to greater economic development.
