Governance, Crime, and Conflict Initiative FCDO-funded activities for policy-relevant research under J-PAL Initiatives in Governance, Crime and Violence, and Peace and Recovery
Post-Primary Education Initiative Funds research, training, and policy activities around the world related to post-primary education, primarily in DFID/FCDO priority countries.
Humanitarian Initiative This first phase of the Initiative is designed to to raise awareness among humanitarian organisations about how to implement randomised evaluations, and to collaboratively build a learning agenda for the effectiveness of humanitarian programming with a focus on protection. Drawing both on a series of conversations with humanitarian actors about their priority learning objectives and a review of existing evidence, this learning agenda will identify where we believe randomised evaluations would be particularly useful, and propose concrete areas for rigorous evaluation in the coming years.
Partner Capacity building - Drought Response The overall Drought and Food Crisis in Horn and East Africa has severaly affected the poorest espaecially in marginal and agro-pastoral regions of kenya, Ethiopia , Uganda, is seeking to alleviate suffering among the population hardest hit by the current drought in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Uganda. It will improve access to emergency food relief, safe water and sanitation facilities, fodder and water for livestock. With this extensive response, there is need to enhance partners’ capacity and make them more able to respond to the current food crisis arises.
Documentation of CAFOD East Africa programme impact Transformational Dawn is CAFOD East Africa’s Regional Strategy Paper (RSP) for the period 2013 – 2018. The paper strongly points out that in order to achieve the set blueprint, we will address four key perspectives which are: Achievements, Excelling, Strategic investments and Resourcing. The strategy is in line with the corporate strategy; Just One World; as it recognizes the four aims of J1W.  However, the EA strategy cannot be fully realised if the existing short comings within our programmes have not been addressed. 
CAFOD East Africa programming has inadequate documentation on programme successes and impacts, best practices and lessons learned from communities and with partners we work with. Links between all these with future programming and strategies have also not been documentated.  The reports we currently have are more of projects implementation progressive reports which only capture the information required by donors but they do not show the impacts or lessons learnt especially for CAFOD. The current reporting trends are continuously demanding of the Programme Officers and partners to report against their outcome indicators, the realized impacts and demonstrate the value for money. The Programme team together with the partners need to identify and document the difference their efforts (and funds) have made to the poorest and most vulnerable communities; as well as demonstrate that these efforts are effective in bringing about change. Further, the programme team and partners should understand the implications of their work, be accountable to the beneficiaries, and constantly strive to achieve better outcomes. These have resulted in the production of M&E tools and frameworks to assess programme impact.
Programme development in East Africa Since 1998 CAFOD Nairobi has used the micro grant approach to help partners and Programme Managers/Officers meet costs of organisation and management development initiatives that include among others: partner staff development, consultancy on organisational assessments and workshop planning among others.  While good planning and budgeting has been done to ensure all thematic specific development needs are adequately supported by the micro grant, there is need to strengthen this support for improved delivery and monitoring of programme spending on such activities.  

The need for a more specific EA programme capacity development approach is driven by the understanding that different thematic programmes in East Africa are at different levels of growth.  In an effort to comply with PCM requirements, it is therefore anticipated that small payments aimed at strengthening CAFOD driven Programme capacity building initiatives will be drawn from this project while the partner related small grants will be drawn from GEA001.  Approvals from this project will therefore facilitate internal payments only as authorised by the Programme Manager, East Africa
Justice and Peace Actors as Catalysts of Change ABG  contribution to consultancy fee This is to raise £ 5,000 as  a contribution to Making all Voices grant. It  will be dedicated to professional fee payment and or purchase of GIS  gadgets budget items. 
About the project: For the next three years the programme is supporting the dioceses of Maralal and Marsabit in Kenya to implement initiatives that will mobilize and build the capacity of communities to raise their voice and seek space in the management of public resources particularly by the county governments and influencing county governments to uphold their constitutional mandating of facilitating public participation, transparency and accountability. Between September 2014 and June 2016, dioceses of Marsabit and Maralal, and NCCJP herein referred to as partners will be implementing a complimentary project on GIS mapping that is aimed to catalyze the feedback loops between citizens and government. Diocese of Marsabit will focus on mapping out health sector infrastructure in Moyale and North Horr sub counties and conflict corridors and drivers in the said sub counties whilst diocese of Maralal will undertake conflict mapping in Samburu North and Central sub counties. NCCJP will undertake GIS mapping of primary schools infrastructure in Amuria district in conjunction with Soroti diocese.
Consultancy objectives ;
i.	To train CAFOD and Partner staff on all the aspects of the proposed GIS mapping programme that the consultant will set up
ii.	To train community advocacy groups field  mapping use of GPS units for data collection 
iii.	To supervise and oversee all aspects of the project from community mobilization for data collection and transmission to the analysis and development of relevant maps 
iv.	To develop a web based platform for collection of the data generated, collaboration and dissemination of data. 
v.	Provide technical backstopping to CAFOD and partners during the period of the assignment
Proposal Development for DACHEP/PASADA - Comic Relief Application Collaboration between DACHEP and PASADA began before Comic Relief funding.  CAFOD has been in a funding relationship with Comic Relief over the past 3 years. CR funded DACHEP/PASADA through CAFOD on strengthening Community Responses to HIV and AIDS in Dar and the Coastal areas in Tanzania. The funding which commenced in October 2004 ended in September 2007.

The Implementation of the DP community based project was a success; it has had impressive results and has potential to grow further and achieve more impact.  It is an example of successful collaboration between two independent entities to create greater impact in response to HIV and AIDS.

Based on the successful implementation, and the good relationship established with CR from this project, CR has indicated that a second phase would be a good chance for additional funding. 
This is therefore an opportunity to seek additional funding for this program from Comic Relief.  CAFOD and partners makes a new proposal for the project grant in January 2008. Consequently a mini workshop was held at Gracia Garden, Nairobi on 8th November for the purpose of developing a draft summary application.
DEC Lessons Learned Workshop in Nairobi This operational activity budget has been set up to capture a lessons learned workshop bringing together teams from Kenya, South Sudan and London. An opportunity arose to host this workshop as additional funding became available from exchange gains on phase one of DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal. The workshop is to be held in Nairobi.
ABG - Realising the Faith Potential The project entails several activities that include, training, visits, advocacy within regional economic groupings, strengthening the parliamentary liaison desks and cross-learning experience between IMBISA, ACEAC and AMECEA. . This project aims at sensitizing Church leaders on their prophetic through the already established structures like Justice and Peace, PLOs and so on. We will hold a meeting of the national commissions, PLO officers to keep track of the implementation efforts of the Synod on governance and strategizing together on the same. In this we intend to key in the Synod propositions regarding governance in the way the Church will continue doing advocacy for transparency. The projects targets at having the Church advocate for policies that will discourage corruption and promote transparency. We will produce an advocacy tool in form of a documentary that will show the levels of poverty in Kenya and Uganda as sampled country, and how this is linked to corruption and bad governance. This aims at creating awareness within the Church and the general public on the importance of accountability in governance. This will come as an appeal to every individual to practice honesty and condemn dishonesty at all levels. It is also meant to trigger more enthusiasm of all stake-holders working for good governance. It is meant to create a link between governance and the situation of the people, hence making governance a concern of the people.The training of trainers (TOT) workshops on advocacy, targeting commissioners of CJPCs pertinent Catholic Bishop/s and leaders of other churches has been on course.  This will be done through seeking accreditation in such meetings or parallel activities that would make the stand of the Church clear. In order to enrich and harmonize our efforts within our jurisdiction, AMECEA will organize a cross-learning meeting between IMBISA, AMECEA and ACEAC.
Transform Programme ·	Transform Part II aims to enable the organisation to achieve organisational transformation and to build a network of change leaders between the NGOs on the programme
The lake Albert oil inter-region pilot project The exploration and mining of oil in Lake Albert in Western Uganda and Eastern DRC brings in challenges of justice and oil governance in both countries as well as brings in the reality that CAFOD partners in Bunia and Hoima diocese must address in the quest of better governance,especially in the management of the oil resource as part of and in support of the already ongong governace activities supported by the ABG programme across the two regions.In February 2012, the Action for Better Governance (ABG) programme organized a three day workshop in Nairobi. The Purpose of that workshop was to bring the ABG implementing partners in DRC and Uganda working around Lake Albert on activities related to oil mining to; reach a common understanding of the issues related to oil development in Lake Albert and agree to implement a prioritized set of joint actions in response. This is a pilot project by CAFOD under the ABG programme and part of  an ongoing governance programme to bring together partners from two countries  working on a common justice issues related to the activities of oil mining across and along the national borders of DRC and Uganda so as to ensure better engagement with local communities. Specifically this pilot project was borne out of initial conversations that explored possible joint programming between CAFOD’s implementing partners in Uganda and DRC on governance issues related to oil mining and development on Lake Albert in Uganda and DRC. 

the lake Albert oil activities shall be implemented by the partners in DRC and Uganda jointly from October 2012 to March 2013 by CAFOD partners.

Conflicy Sensitivity Approach Pilot CAFOD as CSA consortium  member  seeks to enhance its daily outputs in a bid to  enhance its goal of alleviating poverty and suffering thus the  pledge to  enhance conflict sensitivity in programming and policy processes.  The project is two  fold with activities at CAFOD Nairobi  office level and field test at  partner level ( KEN 631 - Conflict sensitivity pilot project ).At  pilot level the pilot has  utilised  the peacebuildiing  and  livelihoods projects to introduce conflict sensitivity as an appraoch to  maximise on positive outcomces while minimising negative outcomes for the purpose of learning and  documentation.  

At CAFOD Nairobi office level  the main  activities will include capacity  building of  staff , monitoring and  technical input for the pilot  project.

The project  shall carry out a baseline survey with an aim of knowing;-
1.The Risks of conflict and violence in the project region and how it can be reduced.
2.How do the project activities iterract with  potential conflicts  and how can this be avoided.
3.Possible starting points for constructive conflict management and  how to intergrate them to the projects
4.Other actors in the area and possible collaborations.
5.How different groups are affected and how they influence the conflict.
6.Traditional conflict coping mechanisms and  possiblity of a early warning system to be used by the communities.


The findings of the survey will be used for:
 Propasal development for peace building and development initiatives in the three dioceses.
 Sharing with other stakeholders for purposes of networking and development of minimum operating standards in interventions.
 Inform the implemention of intervention in terms of conflict sensitivity.
Partner support in developing and strengthening fundraising and resource mobilization strategies This project will support CAFOD partners to develop their organizational sustainability through improved resource mobilization potential by developing and strengthening fundraising strategies.

The participants will include senior programme and finance staff in the partner organization. Priority will be given to parners being phased out then followed by those that CAFOD has committed a longer term engagement.
Humanitarian Capacity Building and Partners Accompanier Project The quality of CAFOD’s work is reflected by the quality of work done by its local partners. This project is about capacity building focused on improving the quality of work and accountability of partners. It will also seeks to help partners to improve their administrative systems and procedures in areas such as human resources, finance, supply chain and logistics, parish and diocesan project implementation and administration guidelines. The outcomes will be improved effectiveness in delivery of humanitarian and development work and improved accountability of partners and administrative systems. 

Emphasis will be on key aspects of humanitarian work, better implementation of emergency responses including improving community managed disaster risk reduction and preparedness. Training activities will be on project cycle management, managing emergency response, international humanitarian principles and  humanitarian standards such as Good Enough Guide, HAP-I, Sphere, LEGS (for partners that deal with pastoral communities) Red Cross Code of Conduct and so on. The project will build the partners confidence and and consistence in applying international humanitarian standards and principles in their programming. Whilst some capacity exists in the partners this project seeks to strengthen the capacity of the partners to respond to emergency situations and to mitigate the impact of humanitarian disasters in their areas of operation.

A Programme Accompanier shall be recruited who will work with CAFOD partners in Northern Kenya to provide technical support for capacity building and projects management. The Programme Accompanier shall provide technical support to three northern Kenya Catholic dioceses (Marsabit, Maralal and Isiolo) in planning, capacity building and implementation of humanitarian programmes and coordination.
