Support to the World Bank research activities KV.RAH.LAIT/Tuki Maailmanpankin tutkimustoiminnalle Knowledge for Change Program (KCP) is part of the World Banks research activity. Finland has been supporting the Program as well as the World Development Reports (WDR) since 2002 when KCP was founded.The Research has focus on six themes: Service delivery a
nd aid effectiveness Poverty and shared prosperity Growth and job creation Fragility and risk management International cooperation and global public goods Innovation and data production methods analysis and dissemination. The seventh theme is the KCPs annu
al support to the World Bank flag ship report (World Development Report  WDR). Simultaneously a strong element in the program is the objective to enhance the research capacity of developing countries. KCP funding is targeted to IDA countries as well as to 
the poorest groups of the IBRD countries especially in Africa and Southern Asia.  The objective of KCP is to expand the World Bank research cooperation to enhance the expertise regarding  development questions in developing countries and in industrial coun
tries as well as to ensure the application of the research results to improve the quality and effectiveness of the work of the Bank. KCP provides  tools  and guidelines for assessing open data readiness in client countries improving survey capabilities ens
uring conceptual framework for economic statistics harmonizing data sources and developing as well as testing  advanced methods of data analysis.  It is suggested that the Quality Assurance Board supports to fund the KCP and WDR with 3 750 000 Euro. Knowledge for Change Program (KCP) on osa Maailmanpankin tutkimustoimintaa. Suomi on tukenut ohjelmaa ja samalla World Development -raportteja (WDR) sen perustamisvuodesta 2002 lähtien. KCP:n rahoittama tutkimus painottuu kuuteen teemaalueeseen: kasvu ja 
työpaikkojen luominen  peruspalvelujen tarjonta ja avun tehokkuus köyhyys ja hyvinvoinnin tasapuolinen jakaantuminen hauraus ja riskien hallinta kansainvälinen yhteistyö ja julkishyödykkeet innovaatio tiedon keruussa analyysissä ja jakamisessa. Seits
emäntenä alueena on KCP:n tuki pankin vuotuisille lippulaivajulkaisulle kehitysraportille (World Development Report WDR).Samalla vahvana elementtinä ohjelmissa on pyrkimys kehitysmaiden oman tutkimuskapasiteetin kasvattamiseeen. KCP:n varat kohdistetaan
 IDA-maihin sekä IBRD-maiden köyhimmille ryhmille erityisesti Afrikassa ja Etelä-Aasiassa. KCP:n tavoitteena on laajentaa Maailmanpankin tutkimusyhteistyötä vahvistaa kehityskysymyksiä koskevaa asiantuntemusta kehitysmaissa ja teollisuusmaissa sekä 
varmistaa tutkimustulosten soveltaminen käytäntöön pankin työn laadun ja tehokkuuden parantamiseksi. KCP tarjoaa tiedollisia ja rahallisia lähteitä köyhyyden vähentämistä ja kestävää kehitystä tukevaan datan keräämiseen analyysiin ja tutki
mukseen. Esitetään että  laaturyhmä puoltaa  3 750 000 euron myöntämistä käytettäväksi KCP:n ja WDR:n rahoitukseen.
F.a: Mekong Energy and Ecology Network 2017 In 2017, the project will continue the development of ongoing concept, strategic themes and some previous scope of workings, based on the three trans-boundary rivers namely Mekong, Salween and Irrawaddy, which have been targeted for hydropower exploitation
 to produce electricity for the rapid growth of regional demand. Within the different countries of the Mekong, Salween and Irrawaddy region, civil societys ability to respond effectively to these problems has been limited. Given this, MEE Net has been work
ing with its partners under three strategic themes Know you Power (to increase the understanding of the electricity sector), Trans- boundary Issues and Following the Money Trail (to make transparent the trans-boundary flow of capital and investments) to co
pe with the afore-mentioned complex situation. For green, decentralized energy options to be fully deployed and considered as serious alternatives to destructive large-scale energy project development, a legal and regulatory framework that paves way toward
s a green energy vision, is vital. The 2017 plan of activities will give priority to Myanmar as a potential and strategic area. 1) Greening Myanmar power sector development, capacity building, alternative PDP and advocacy, 2) Drafting law in support of Sha
n States Green Energy Policy Vision, 3) Additional research on following the money trail and to be instigated into the strategy of Mekong campaign, 4) Irrawaddys C-SEA research and network development on progress, 5) new C-SEA of 12 communities at Mya-Za-D
i village in Ywar Ngan township in the mountain valley of Shan state, 6) Salween strategic work, 7) Information distribution and 8) MEE Nets strategy and plan 2018 onwards. Outputs and outcomes will be the increased capacity of CSOs on energy issues, alter
native power development plans and energy legislation, new research results on energy investments, increased cooperation and advocacy among C-SEA communities and network, increased cooperation on Salween issues, new information material. The main beneficia
ries of the project are CSOs and local communities in Myanmar and the Mekong region, who are empowered to do advocacy work and protect their environment. In Myanmar, C-SEA activities reach up to hundreds of thousands community members. Whole societies bene
fit from the renewable and small-scale energy production. MEE Net works together with local NGOs, academics/universities and local communities. http://www.meenet.org/

ILO/Decent and Safe Jobs in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan ILO/Ihmisarvoisen työn edistäminen Kirgisiassa ja Tadzhikistanissa In the framework of  Wider Europe Initiative International Labour Office ILO has been implementing in 2010-2013 a project  From the Crisis towards Decent and Safe Jobs in Southern Caucasus and Central Asia. The project aimed at assisting the national partn
ers (Government Trade Unions and Employers´ Organisations) to put into practise the prioritites that they have themselves identified in the pursuit of Decent Work. The main pillars have been occupational safety and health employment and social protection.
 The project was funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs  with 4 million euros. Phase II of the project will be implemented in 2014-17 in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. It will continue with the same goals as the previous phase concentrating on the implemen
tation of Decent Work Country Programmes. Total budget of the project phase II is 4 million euros. Kansainvälinen työjärjestö (ILO) on tukenut kohdemaiden ihmisarvoisen työn maaohjelmien toteuttamista kahdeksassa maassa Keski-Aasiassa ja Etelä-Kaukasiassa Suomen tuella vuodesta 2010 lähtien. Hankkeen 1. vaihe (2010-2013) oli luonteeltaan alueelli
nen ja se kohdistui kahdeksaan Etelä-Kaukasian ja Keski-Aasian maahan.  Hankkeen tuloksena onnistuttiin vahvistamaan kolmikantaisen yhteistyön (valtio sekä työnantaja- jatyöntekijäjärjestöt) mallia sekä tuomaan ihmisarvoisen työn tavoitteita kans
allisiin politiikkalinjauksiin. Myös ILO:n sopimuksia on ratifioitu kohdemaissa hankkeen aikana. Työturvallisasioissa on vaikutettu siihen että jälkikäteistoimien sijaan ollaan siirtymässä enenevässä määrin ennaltaehkäisevääntoimintaan. Vamma
isten työllistämistä on pystytty edistämään pilottihankkeella Armeniassa.Suomi tuki hanketta 4 milj. eurolla. Vuosina 2014?2017 toteutettavan jatkohankkeen avulla edistetään työllisyyttä ja parannetaan sosiaaliturvaa Keski-Aasian kahdessa köyhim
mässä maassaTad?ikistanissa ja Kirgisiassa. Tarkoituksena on antaa työntekijöille mahdollisuus ihmisarvoiseen ja tuottavaan työhön. Hanke toteutetaan yhteistyössä maiden hallitusten sekä työntekijä- ja työnantajaosapuolten kanssa. Nuorten naist
en ja vammaisten työllistymistä edistävää politiikkaa ja toimia kehitetään yhdessä työministerön ja työvoimatoimistojen kanssa. Tärkeänä osana on niin ikään epävirallisen talouden piirissä olevien työntekijöiden saaminen virallisen talo
uden piiriin mm. ammattiyhdistysten avulla. Sosiaaliturvan parantamisessa keskeisenä tavoitteena on sosiaalisen suojelun käsitteen sisällyttäminen maiden kansallisiin suunnitelmiin. Työturvallisuuden ja työterveyden edistämiseksi koulutetaan valvont
aviranomaisia. Hankkeen budjetti on 4 miljoonaa euroa.

F.a: Yene Raey - My Future Young people constitute one-third of the total population in Ethiopia, and especially girls and young women are the one who suffer from different harmful practices such as child marriage, female genital mutilation and gender based violence. High dropout ra
tes of girls especially in secondary education correspond directly with age of marriage. These are further complicated by limited access and poor quality of SRH information and services. The project seeks to transform the underlying social norms that contr
ibute to harmful practices and empower adolescents to realize their SRHR. Girls and boys will take an active role in challenging the status quo in their communities, through intergenerational dialogues, peer-to peer-support, awareness raising, and engaging
 in local level advocacy together with, and as a part of civil society. In order to shift the power relations and change norms in a sustainable way, the project will work closely with families, traditional and religious leaders, communities and duty bearer
s. It is implemented in 157 kebeles in Amhara, Oromia and SNNPR together with three local partners (Hundee, PADet and KMG) all of them having a long experience in respective areas and partnership with Plan International Ethiopia. By end of the project, ado
lescents have become more resilient and assertive to decide on their own lives and bodies. They have developed increased confidence and appropriate attitudes to enable them to claim their rights and will have an improved access to information and services 
relating to their SRHR. At the same time, peers, parents and traditional and religious leaders have been supported to better understand adolescents rights to such services. Peers, parents and traditional and religious leaders have engaged in actions that d
emonstrate values of gender equality and do not tolerate gender-based violence including HTPs. Young girls and parents have become economically more resilient and do not need to expose young girls for GBV and other HTPs. CSOs and CBOs are supported in netw
orking and engaging in advocacy actions to support of adolescent SRHR and the right to be free from violence. Government, local authorities and service providers commitment and capacities have increased to implement existing laws and legislation to provide
 adolescent friendly SRH services at different levels.

AfDB-6 General Capital Increase KV.RAH.LAIT/AfDB-6 pääomankorotus Finland´s participation in the sixth General Capital Increase of the African Development Bank. Suomen osuus Afrikan kehityspankin kuudennessa peruspääoman korotuksessa.Pankin hallintoneuvosto hyväksyi toukokuussa 2010 pankin vuosikokouksessa esityksen pankin pääoman korotuksesta 200 prosentilla. Pankin pääoma oli ennen korotusta 22 miljardia 
US dollaria korotuksen jälkeen se nousee 66 miljardiin. Muiden kv. kehitysrahoituslaitosten tavoin Afrikan kehityspankki on talouskriisin seurauksena kasvattanut lainanantoaan merkittävästi eikä ilman pääomakorotusta pankki olisi pystynyt vastaamaan 
rahoituksen kysyntään tulevina vuosina. Suomen osuus Afrikan kehityspankin kuudennessa pääomakorotuksessa koostuu 6% käteisosuudesta (14 829 240 euroa) ja 94% takuupääomasta (232 313 188 euroa). Pääomakorotuksesta hyötyvät suoraan alueen keskitu
loiset maat köyhimmät maat välillisesti. Pankki keskittyy toiminnassaan erityisesti infrastruktuurin parantamiseen hyvän hallinnon edistämiseen yksityissektorin kehittämiseen sekä korkea- ja ammatilliseen koulutukseen.
