State aid for Human Rights training Valtionapu ihmisoikeuskoulutukselle The Ministry awards state aid for the purpose of supporting at least 8 participants from development countries to participate in human rights training in Finland on a yearly basis. This training should support the strengthening of the human rights based ap
proach to development as well as promote the flagship objectives mentioned in the Human Rights Strategy of the Foreign Service of Finland as well as its crosscutting objectives. The State aid will be announced and processed in accordance the national legis
lation. The participants chosen among Ngo-workers Ph.D. students scholars public officials and lawyers from developing countries are given an opportunity to deepen their knowledge and understanding of human rights as well as of the mechanisms available to 
fulfil and protect them. The selection will be made by the university receiving state aid. In previous years the participants have possessed key positions in universities governmental offices and non-governmental organizations. The participants come from O
DA-eligible (the OECD list of development assistance countries ODA-DAC) countries in Africa Latin America and Asia. Therefore the training benefits mostly an enlarged group of people in developing countries. Koulutustoiminnan tulee tukea ihmisoikeusperustaisen kehityspolitiikan toimeenpanoa ja edistää ulkoasiainhallinnon ihmisoikeusstrategiaan kirjattuja kärkihankkeita ja läpileikkaavia tavoitteita. Valtionavusta ilmoitetaan ja hakemuksia käsitellään la
in edellyttämällä tavalla. Kansalaisjärjestötyöntekijöiden tutkijoiden opettajien virkamiesten ja juristien keskuudesta valituille osallistujille annetaan mahdollisuus syventää tietouttaan kansainvälisestä oikeudesta erityisesti ihmisoikeuksista
 ja mekanismeista niiden täytäntöön panemiseksi ja suojelemiseksi. Valinnan suorittaa valtionapua saava yliopisto. Aiempina vuosina toteutetuille kursseille valitut henkilöt ovat olleet avainasemissa yliopistoissa valtionhallinnossa ja kansalaisjärje
stöissä. Osallistujat tulevat ODA-kelpoisista (OECD:n kehitysapukohdemaalista ODA-DAC) maista Afrikasta Latinalaisesta Amerikasta ja Aasiasta. Näin suurin hyöty koulutuksista kohdistuu suoraan laajennettuun ihmisryhmään kehitysyhteistyömaissa.

Support of Joint Financing arrangement of IGAD (extension) Tuki IGADin yhteisrahoitusohjelmalle Finland has supported Inter-Governmental Authority on Development since its establishment in late 1980s. Between 2011-2014 Finland supported strengthening the institutional and project management capacity through a bilateral project. The project achieved i
ts objectives: the Project Planning and Management Unit was established and the project management capacity as well as the strategic planning capacity of IGAD strengthened. In 2015 Finland channeled its support to the Institutional Strengthening Action Pla
n through a Joint Financing Arrangement together with other Nordic countries. IGAD is in a process of formulating a new strategy. At the same time the Institutional Strengthening Action Plan as well as the Joint Financing Arrangement will be revised from t
he beginning of 2016. The Joint Financing Arrangement will support the institutional strengthening of IGAD to deliver its mandate of regional stability integration and prosperity. Finland will support the Institutional Strengthening Action Plan with 15 mil
lion euros in 2016-18 i.e. 05 million euros annually. Suomi on tukenut Afrikan sarven alueellista yhteistyöjärjestöä IGADia (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development) lähes sen perustamisesta lähtien 1980-luvun lopulta. Vuosina 2011-2014 Suomi tuki IGADin toiminta- ja hankekapasiteetin kasvattamista 
kahdenvälisellä hankkeella. Suomen tuella IGADin sihteeristöön perustettiin projektien hallinto- ja suunnitteluyksikkö ja IGADin hankehallinto ja strategista suunnittelukapasiteettia vahvistettiin. Vuonna 2015 Suomi siirtyi tukemaan IGADin institution
aalisen vahvistamisen toimintasuunnitelmaa varten perustettua yhteisrahastoa yhdessä muiden pohjoismaiden kanssa. Yhteisrahoitusjärjestelyn tavoitteena on tukea IGADin insitutionaalista vahvistamista jotta järjestö voi edistää mandaattinsa mukaisesti
 alueellista vakautta hyvinvointia ja integraatiota. IGADin 2016-2020 strategiasta ja ISAP-ohjelmasta on 2018 tehty erilliset ulkopuoliset väliarvioinnit. ISAP-väliarviointi piti ohjelman relevanssia ja tehokkuutta korkeana sekä vaikutuksia ja tuloksell
isuutta keskitasoisena (moderate). Väliarvioinnissa todetaan että IGAD on panostanut strategiansa mukaisiin toimenpiteisiin joiden voidaan odottaa vahvistavan IGADia alueellisena organisaationa. Suomi on tukenut IGADin institutionaalisen vahvistamisen to
imintasuunnittelmaa vuosina 2016-18 15 miljoonalla eurolla. Rahoitus jakautuu siten että Suomi on tukenut IGADia vuosittain 05 miljoonalla eurolla. Vuosina 2019 ? 2020 Suomi jatkaa toimintasuunnitelman tukemista 05 miljoonalla eurolla vuosittain.

F.a: Development education Even though information on global issues and globalization is available to Finnish audiences more than ever through social media and internet, the need for experience-based and evidence-based material on development cooperation is needed more than ever. Al
so the political development in European countries in the past years has shown, that there exists a lot of intolerance and ignorance against people and phenomena in developing countries and therefore all the actors in development filed are obliged to provi
de accurate and reliable information on global issues. Development education of ISF is based on informing and discussing about the causes of poverty, inequality and the basics of development cooperation and its impact on improving the conditions of life. T
he audience and participants of ISF's development education are students, teachers and interested public in general who will be reached through social media, printed material and events. Cooperation is done with youth organisations and other NGOs in this f
ield in Finland.

UNICEF on lapsen oikeuksien sopimuksen valvoja ja sopimus on pohjana sekä ohjelmatyölle että vaikuttamistyölle kotimaassa ja ohjelmamaissa. UNICEFin kansainvälinen ohjelmatyö
 pyrkii köyhyyden vähentämiseen eriarvoisuuden poistamiseen ja yhteisöjen osallisuuden ja omistajuuden kasvattamiseen. UNICEF on lisäksi yksi maailman suurimmista humanitaarisen avun toimijoista. Lisäksi Suomen UNICEF tekee merkittävää globaalikas
vatus- ja kehitysviestintätyötä fokusoiden YK:n kestävän kehityksen tavoitteisiin erityisesti lapsen aseman ja oikeuksien näkökulmasta. Suomen UNICEF käyttää toiminta-avustuksen yleishallintokuluihinsa sekä kehitysviestintä- ja globaalikasvatus
toimintaansa. Vuosina 2021-2022 tavoitteena on jatkaa oikeusperustaisia kehityskasvatusluentoja oppilaitoksissa ja kehittää virtuaalisia kouluvierailuja painottaen erityisesti vuorovaikutuksen ja lasten osallisuuden toteutumista sekä yhdenvertaista saat
avuutta. Lasten ja nuorten tietoja ja toimijuutta lisätään mm. kehittämällä  YouTube-kanava U-Tuubia katsojia osallistavampaan suuntaan. Mahdollisuutta avata uusi nuorille suunnattu sosiaalisen median kanava selvitetään. Järjestö myös kouluttaa 
laajasti vapaaehtoisia globaaleista kehityskysymyksistä ja sitä kautta lisää suomalaisten osallistumismahdollisuuksia kansalaistoimintaan.Myönnetty toiminta-avustus vuosille 2021-2022 on 470 000 euroa.
F.a: Women's and girls' vocational skills training in Sierra Leone Poor access to education including skills training is one of the biggest development challenges in Sierra Leone. Only around 43% of the adult population (over 15 years) are literate (male 55%, female 33%). Girls’ school drop-out is significant for exampl
e due to parents’ lack of funds and cultural practices such as early marriage. The districts of Koinadugu and Bombali suffer from lack of education and livelihood opportunities, and women and girls are often discriminated against with regards to access t
o and control over productive assets, employment, skills and education.The main objective of the project is to increase the economic and social well-being of vulnerable girls and women in Makeni and Kabala towns and surroundings by providing skills trainin
g to often vulnerable women and girls who have had limited access to education and often have poor literacy skills. Training is offered in vocational skills that are relevant in the employment market and can also lead to self-employment and small business 
opportunities. Expected results:120 girls and young women in skills training centres in Kabala and Makeni are provided with training in dressmaking, weaving, textile dyeing, catering and hospitality trades and agriculture. Entrepreneurial/business skills d
evelopment, on-the-job training/internships with external outlets and production learning opportunities at the centres will lead to employment or self-employment of graduates. New vocational skills together with improved life and literacy skills contribute
 to graduates holistic empowerment, increased self-confidence and reduced vulnerability.Right-holders/ beneficiaries:Rural and urban girls and young womenImplementing partner:Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE Sierra Leone)

INT/New form of cultural and media co-operation Kulttuuri- ja media-alan uusi yhteistyömuoto Cultural development projects share the same goals set in the Finnish development action plan. Cultural development projects aim to complete the toolbox of the Finnish development aid and broaden and diversify the impact of development aid. In 2016 equalit
y and the rights of women and girls are in focus as well as the main topic of the 100-year-jubileum of the Independence of Finland Together as well the balance between different cultural sectors and continents. Vuonna 2005 perustettuun hankkeeseen sisältyi kaksi Suomen ja kehitysmaiden välistä yhteistyömuotoa: kulttuurivaihto ja kehitysmaatoimittajakoulutus. Vuonna 2012 toteutetaan molemmat hankkeet omilla projektikoodeillaan. Kulttuuriyhteistyöhankkeilla t
äydennetään Suomen kehitysavun keinovalikoimaa ja pyritään laajentamaan ja monipuolistamaan sen vaikutusaluetta. Kulttuurivaihdon tavoitteena on edistää kehitysmaiden ja Suomen kulttuurityöntekijöiden yhteistyötä sekä tukea kehitysmaiden kulttu
uria ja kulttuuri-identiteettiä. Hankkeita valittaessa otetaan huomioon eri kulttuurialojen ja maanosien tasapuolisuus sekä hankkeen ero muihin yhteistyömuotoihin ja tukiin.
