a. Periaatteena on lyhentää arvoketjuja ja mahdollistaa kokonaisvaltainen kehitys myös ketjujen alkupäässä. Allianssiin kuuluu tällä hetkellä 12 kehitysjärjestöä (agri-agencies) jotka yhdessä hallinnoivat ja toteuttavat yhteistä Farmers Fight
ing Poverty (FFP) -kehitysohjelmaa.Agricordin ohjelman Farmers Fighting Poverty  programme - Improving farmers' organisations' access to Agricultural and Forestry Value Chains (2018-2019) välittömät tavoitteet ovat:1. Maanviljelijäjärjestöjen ja niid
en jäsenistön kapasiteetin vahvistaminen jotta ne pystyvät edistämään inklusiivisia sertifiointijärjestelmiä tai kauppasopimuksia laatu huomioiden.2. FFP -ohjelman kautta kanavoidun avun tehokkuuden ja tuloksellisuuden parantaminen ja vahvistunut t
asa-arvo näkökulma.Vahvat ja toimintakykyiset maanviljelijäjärjestöt voivat  edistää talouskasvua tasaisempaa tulonjakoa sekä vahvempia demokratioita.  FFP -ohjelma tukee viljelijöiden järjestäytymistä ruohonjuuritasolla mitä pidetään yhten
ä tärkeimpänä edellytyksenä pienviljelijöiden tuotannon kasvattamiselle ja markkinoillepääsyyn.  Maanviljelijäjärjestöjen kapasiteetin vahvistaminen jotta ne voivat puhua pienviljelijöiden puolesta ja osallistua politiikkojen valmisteluun ja va
ikutustyöhön on ensisijaisen tärkeää inklusiivisen maaseutukehityksen varmistamiseksi.
F.a: Dialogues for enactment of Regulation concerning 'Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act' The project will carry out 3 workshops on grassroots level and two workshops on national level to promote the regulation of #Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act#.
F.a: Organising and Strengthenin Organisation Structure The project will strengthen organizing in key service sectors of ASPEK. Special focus will be given to activating women and youth to trade union work. Capacity building and campaigning is intended to increase awareness on the importance of paying membershi
p fees as well establishing check-off and percentage systems for collection of membership fees. New element is the capacity building on collective bargaining and strengthening of branch, regional and sectoral structures of ASPEK. The challenge of ASPEK rem
ains to be weak organizing, structural dispersion and low financial sustainability which would be needed in order to combat the ever-growing challenges of working life. Long-term development objective for ASPEK is to be a strong and financially sustainable
 trade union that is able to effectively enhance the rights of its affiliates on branch, regional, sectoral and national level. As results of the project it is expected that six new sectoral structures are established, nine regional structures are establis
hed/strengthened, twelve new unions join in ASPEK, women participation increases especially on national level, percentage system and membership fee coverage increases, new collective bargaining agreements are signed and three sectors succeed in having join
t tripartite recommendations. The beneficiaries of the project are the unorganized workers of service sector in Indonesia, ASPEK affiliate unions, leaders and activists on local, regional and national level (especially women and youth). Project partners ar
e UNI and ASPEK.
F.a: Siemenpuu-Kansalaisliikkeiden yhteistyösäätiö sr Mali Sigida Nyetaa cooperation program 2015-2016 MFC Nyetaa is a Malian organisation working around energy and environmental issues. The organisation works also internationally on good governance, development of local economy and environmental protection.The current MFC application wants to continue to s
trengthen the Sigida Nyetaa program for the period of 2015-2016, which has been carrying an emphasis on the promoting of co-governance of environmental commons, putting people and nature first whilst incorporating traditional knowledge and practices, and t
he development of alternative economic activities in support of this in the localities of Garalo, Filamana and Finkolo, in the region of Sikasso, Mali. The SN program will now be putting a strong stress on the departing point for the program being the Cent
res of Excellence, the physical spaces of learning, experimentation and demonstration currently already existing in Garalo and Filamana, and being built in Finkolo (where sofar cooperation has taken place through the Mayor) and that through their increased
 consolidation and autonomous working supported by the current program phase, the Centres would fascilitate :-the further strengthening and empowerment of the local communities and their (professional) organisations, with regards to the development of a co
mprehensive view on environment + climate, in order to work towards sustainable natural commons/resource co-governance.- the further strengthening of the development of sustainable local economic activities. - the campaigning on different levels regarding 
the rights of the communities to the preservation of their ecosystem.
F.a: Labour Research in Mozambique The 18-month research project started recently, and already in a few months started producing outputs and some important results. A study on pension system development, bargaining indicators development, position paper about the mine giant Rio Tinto's prof
its not benefiting citizens, start-up of the research about the so-called mega projects, i.e. large investments in natural resource extraction and their influence on the labour market. The project aims at improving these aspects by bringing further through
 solid information basis and analytical capacity through research.Despite being a national centre, OTM-CS traditionally has been focusing on the so called “bread and butter issues”. Union movement is for most people unknown, irrelevant or having image 
of old fashioned, hierarchic and ineffective, only going through annual minimum salary negotiations and nothing more. One of the consequences of this approach is the weak visibility of the Mozambican trade unions in their interventions to defend workers’
 interests.A visible and proactive national centre will be respected by the social partners and the general public. New dynamics in the union movement is also expected to attract more members, especially young workers and women, and thereby strengthen the 
negotiation and policy intervention capacity, as well as financial self-sustainability of the unions.It benefits global and national unions, e.g. IndustriALL project 2356. After the pilot phase, there are high hopes that other research topics will be usefu
l both for Mozambican union movement and SASK, other SSOs and GUFs, employers and the general public in Mozambique. Additionally, it is worth to mention that the project is also a good source of information for the international labour movement, especially
 in Finland as the document “Current Dynamics of Labor Market and challenges of the Trade Union Movement in Mozambique” has been translated into English and Finnish.The project is implemented by the OTM-CS people, specifically by the research unit coor
dinator and the finance manager. They are supervised by the secretary for labour relations and legal affairs. The regional coordinator of SASK for Southern Africa takes care of the regular monitoring.
F.a: Involving the Rural Communities of the Beira and Nacala corridors in the protection and sustainable management of their natural resources. The project is a continuation of the earlier projects in the development of sustainable livelihoods and the improvement of the environmental situation in Sikasso region in the three municipalities of Koussan, Finkolo-Ganadougou and Garalo. The capacity bui
lding of the local population to further the development of sustainable local economic activities, as well as the development of local natural resources management will continue, with this phase being a further deepening of local empowerment and ownership 
of the developed local training and activity hubs ‘Centres of Excellence’ in the three municipalities. The aim is to strengthen the possibilities for local economy building vis-a-vis the pressures of the non-sustainable extractive economy (agribusiness
 + mining). The Centres ties with the host communities at large will be strengthened and the work towards increased autonomy of the centres from outside support will be intensified. The activities of transforming the local products (cashew, shea, honey, mi
lk) will be strengthened and diversified. Trainings and developing of peer support mechanisms in sustainable practices in gardening, waste management, use of energy saving stoves etc. will be continued and the centres will be developed further to be run as
 permanent demonstration sites for these practices. Environmental awareness and understanding of the processes of the governance of the local natural resources, as well as of the possibilities and rights to participate in the decision making will be streng
thened with the trainings organised at the centres and with environmental campaigns, cultural and sports activities and radio programs. The participatory governance model for each of the Centres will be consolidated and a local financing model for the acti
vities will be designed. The communal platforms of local associations and cooperatives around each of the Centres will be consolidated. The beneficiaries of the project will be the populations of the communities of the municipalities of Koussan, Finkolo an
d Garalo, as well as their organisations, associations and cooperatives. Through the FENA environmental forum process (FENA =Forum Environnemental National Annuel), public policy makers as well as the larger population will be reached out to. www.malifolke

 in Northern Uganda leading to improved standard of living by 2017.Expected results:• Increased participation of women in economic activities in northern Uganda by 2017• Increased involvement and participation of women in socio-economic development• 
Increased access of women to productive resources by 2017Right-holders/ beneficiaries: The project targets 900 women organised in women groups (saving groups)Implementing partner: Uganda Change Agent Association (UCAA)
F.a: Strong Transport Unions ITF commissions updated baseline research about the Southern Africa transport corridors problems based on documents and field research. The results will be presented in a meeting where continuation project will be planned. At the same time Mozambican union
s start national level information and organizing campaigning. Zambians are supported by Namibians when having difficulties driving on Namibian territory. During October Action Week visible campaign action at border crossings will be organized. ITF’s wid
er action plan includes five countries: South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Swaziland, but of these AKT and SASK support Mozambique and Zambia, whilst ITF uses its own resources to cover the participation of the others.

The purpose of the pilot 
is to compile baseline data about the problems and solution options of transport workers and their unions, in order to towards the end of the year develop a longer-term plan for making the unions stronger. Workers face the same problems as along other tran
sport corridors: differences in salaries between countries even in the same companies and generally low income level, non-compliance with work and rest time and other safety regulations, harassment by authorities and corruption, robberies of cargo goods, l
ack of sanitation facilities en route, long border crossing waiting times and border bureaucracy as well as inadequacies in social security. At the same time when a more precise mapping is done to form the basis for continuation planning, Mozambican and Za
mbian unions will already 2015 start tackling these issues through campaigning.

Immediate results will be exact information for continuation planning as a result of the mapping. Additionally the visibility of the unions in Mozambique and Zambia will impro
ve, and this is expected to bring new members to the unions. Beneficiaries are Mozambican and Zambian transport workers working in road transport, railways and ports.

ITF is the international umbrella organization of transport workers that with this proje
ct supports its affiliates in two countries. The project is linked to wider ITF interest representation tackling the problems along Southern Africa Transport Corridors focusing on transport hubs and corridors. ITF coordinates and manages the project from i
ts London head office and Nairobi Africa regional office, and is recruiting a local project coordinator in Mozambique to ensure progress with local level focal points in each country.
FLC: Help Self Help Centre - Economic empowerment of women and youth through sustainable management of essential oil value chain The project focuses on sustainable management of economic indigenous plant resources through a combination of local knowledge strengthening local structures access to technology inclusive business model market development and tree domestication.

F.a: Organising in the Steel, Mining and Energy Sectors in India The project improves the capacity and cooperation of steel, mining and energy sector unions to ensure that they can effectively defend and represent workers’ interests in five target states in India.The cooperation between the trade unions in these secto
rs has long been minimal, and the rate of organization in these sectors is low. Labour right violations are common especially in the mining sector. The project strengthens the rate of organization and significantly contributes to the cooperation between th
e unions, so that they can better represent and guard the interests of the workers. The ability of the unions to operate in member recruitment, promotion of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), collective bargaining and solving of disputes will become mor
e efficient. In a more concrete way, in 2014–2016 the project aims at getting 35,000 new members to the unions, creating a permanent professional pool of organisers (252 actives), a pool of trade union trainers (84 trainers), functioning OHS committees a
nd 84 OHS trainers. The trade union structures of the states are strengthened and they become self-sufficient. The beneficiaries are the permanent and short-term workers and white collar workers in the steel, mining and energy sectors. In addition, the org
anisers, trainers, OHS representatives, union representatives at the workplaces, actives and the leadership in the Indian affiliates of IndustriALL in the states of Orissa, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Maharastra and Andhra Pradesh will benefit from the project
. Main partner is IndustriALL Global Union, which coordinates the project. The implementing unions are IndustriALL’s Indian affiliates on selected sectors and states.
