F.a: From Violence to Reconciliation Project is an initiative to implement the peace agreements after decades of armed conflict in Colombia. It is implemented in Dabeiba and Mutata regions in Antioquia province which has suffered a lot from the conflict and is still an arena of violence and a
ction of the paramilitary groups. Project supports and advances the coexistence of villagers and former guerrillas of FARC, who are settling to the communities. Project activities include psychosocial support and legal assistance, awareness raising and ski
lls training. As expected result the community members are aware of the contents of the peace agreements, have learned and are using self-protection mechanisms and promote actively the implementation of the agreements in their communities. The implementing
 partner is the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia (IELCO) which is familiar with community-based peace and reconciliation issues. IELCO is a member church of the Lutheran World Federation and ACT Alliance. http://www.ielco.org
F.a: Increasing the Organising Capacity of SENTRO SENTRO is the most dynamic Conferederation of the Philippines. The project will improve SENTRO’s and its member unions´ capacity by implementing a systematic training module, as well as enhance workers´ rights and well-being through advocacy work relat
ed to political decision-making and implemented jointly with the trade union coalition NAGKAISA. In addition, the project will support organizing workers in trade unions in the textile factories in Mactan Export Processing Zone. 

Central problems in the P
hilippines labour market are the extensive use of contracted labour force, outsourcing and the big share of informal sector among workforce (38 %). Union density is not high in Philippines, and country’s labour legislation rather hinders trade unions’ 
to operate and grow, instead of facilitating them to expand. So-called yellow unions are common. Trade unions are enterprise-based, and unions´ joint representation and advocacy power at national level is limited, making it difficult for them to confront 
the challenges in the labour market. Collective bargaining is done on enterprise-level and minimum wages are set on regional level, not nationally. These “divide and rule” politics weakens workers´ negotiation power and makes the movement more scatter
ed. Union´s don´t have adequate capacity to respond to the multiple challenges that the workers´ face. 

As a result of the project, 75 new trade union leaders in the regions of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao have been trained with the multilayered trainin
g module and they are able to respond to the challenges in the labour market. SENTRO together with other trade union actors has promoted legislative reforms and measures that improve workers´ rights, such as the Security of Tenure law, extension of Matern
ity Leave and social security reforms. In addition, at least 4 trade unions have been established in the textile factories in Mactan Export Processing Zone to protect workers´ rights. 

The beneficiaries of the project are the trade unions who will benefi
t from the training given to trade union activists and leaders, and the unorganized workers in the textile factories, who will be informed about their rights, and have opportunity to join a union. Legislative measures and social security reforms will in th
e long run benefit all Filipinos. 

The project is implemented by the Confederation SENTRO, which is the youngest and most dynamic central organization in the country, but also the fastest growing in terms of member

The Way Forward after the Revolution: Decent Work for Women in Egypt and Tunisia - Phase II Naisten työelämäoikeuksien kohentaminen Egyptissä ja Tunisiassa vaihe II The gender employment gap is still large in the Middle East and North Africa particularly in Egypt and Tunisia. Female labour force participation rates in the region are not only the lowest in the world but are also rising very slowly. Higher level of educ
ational attainment does not translate into improved labour market participation. Low female employment rate has a negative effect on economic growth.ILO's project aims at supporting women to better participate in labour market through a comprehensive appro
ach that tackles at the same time access to employment entrepreneurship decent work conditions and social dialogue. Finland has funded the project in 2012-2017 (31 MEUR). The project has proceeded well: 705 officials and members of employers' and workers' 
organisations have been trained on women rights and gender equality and the skills of women have been enhanced. In addition the national knowledge base on gender-sensitive issues is improved and tripartite recommendations for reform of the policy and legis
lative environment concerning women's rights and gender equality in the labour market are formulated. Finland's contribution in 2018 - 2021 is EUR 2 170 435. Ero naisten ja miesten välisessä työllisyysasteessa on edelleen suuri Lähi-idässä ja Pohjois-Afrikassa erityisesti Egyptissä ja Tunisiassa. Naisten työllisyysaste alueella ei ainoastaan ole matalin vaan sen kasvu on myös erittäin hidasta. Korkeam
pi osallistuminen koulutukseen ei johda korkeampaan työllisyysasteeseen. Naisten alhainen työllisyysaste vaikuttaa negativiisesti maiden talouskasvuun.International Labour Organizationin (ILO) hankkeen tavoitteena on vahvistaa tunisialaisten ja egyptilä
isten naisten mahdollisuuksia osallistua työmarkkinoille kokonaisvaltaisen lähestymistavan kautta joka samaan aikaan puuttuu työhön pääsyyn yrittäjyyteen työolosuhteisiin ja yhteiskunnalliseen keskusteluun. Suomi on rahoittanut hanketta vuosina 201
2-2017 (31 MEUR). Hanke on edennyt hyvin: sen aikana on koulutettu 705 virkamiestä ja järjestöjen jäsentä naisten oikeuksiin ja tasa-arvoon liittyvissä asioissa sekä naisten työelämätaitoja on kehitetty koulutuksilla. Lisäksi kansallista tietopo
hjaa tasa-arvoasioihin liittyen on parannettu ja työmarkkinalaitoksille on annettu suosituksia koskien naisten oikeuksia ja tasa-arvoa työelämässä. Suomen tuki hankkeelle vuosina 2018 ? 2021 on 2 170 435 euroa.

F.a: Increased participation in Myanmars peace process in Kayin State 1. Project: 12002 Increased participation in Myanmars peace process in Kayin State#2. Project area and Country: Kayin State, Myanmar#3. Project justification: #Extremely poor infrastructure throughout Kayin have historically constrained access to informati
on and social services, and economic and livelihood opportunities. There is a lack of structures and trust for dialogue between right-holders and duty bearers, as well as low capacities. Most communities in rural Kayin State are not aware of the ongoing pe
ace process and public consultation is very limited. For the peace process to be successful, there needs to be buy-in and support of the wider population. While lack of awareness and access to information impacts people in remote areas equally, some groups
 are especially excluded because of ethnic, linguistic, religious, socio-economic, gender, age or other factors. Inclusion of youth and women in the national peace process is seen as a priority for most stakeholders, but barriers stemming from gender and a
ge continue to persist. #4. The main objective and expected results: #The main objective of the project is to enhance inclusion and participation of communities and civil society in the peace process in Kayin State through increased awareness, capacities a
nd opportunities. Access to information will be a contributing factor to enhanced inclusivity and participation. In addition to supporting peoples awareness of their rights, the project will also support their efforts to claim these rights and duty bearers
 capacities to act accordingly.#Both rights holders and duty bearers are engaged through a range of activities. To help ensure sustainability, local authorities are collaborated with. As the main duty bearers with regard to peoples rights, they will take a
n active role in ensuring improved compliance with existing laws, regulations and agreements. Women Empowerment Committees (WEC) are co-opted to act as a community-based platform at the village level, and they will be supported to play an active role in pr
oviding and sustaining access to information and learning in their respective communities.# 5. Right-holders/ beneficiaries: People in remote villages in Kayin State#Duty bearers: Government of Myanmar, Karen National Union (KNU)#6. Implementing partner: K

TRA Tax Administration Twinning TRA Verohallinnon tuki Good tax policies and effective tax collection can promote the development of an equal society. Tanzania  is reforming its tax administration based on a new five-year development plan (TRA 5th Corporate Plan).  Finland will during  the years 2017-2021 prov
ide core support amounting to four million euros to  the Tanzania TRA five-year development plan's basket fund (TMP). In addition to the core support Finland considers it important to strengthen the capacity of the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) to imple
ment the necessary reforms by providing technical assistance to TRA through Finnish Tax Administration (VERO) especially in order to increase tax compliance . Finnish Tax Administration will support TRA 1) to improve implementation of measures supporting b
etter tax compliance of business taxpayers with particular focus on voluntary tax compliance 2) to improve understanding of customer needs and a strengthened TRA service culture 3) strengthened approach and management of TRA internal audit. VERO?s technica
l support to TRA will be one million euros during the years 2018-2021. Additional contribution amounting to 230.000 euros will be provided to the cooperation aiming at 4) to strengthen TRA capacity to prepare for the implementation of the comprehensive tax
 administration system. Hyvällä veropolitiikalla ja tehokkaalla verojen kannolla voidaan edistää tasa-arvoisen yhteiskunnan kehittymistä. Tansanian verohallintoa  ollaan uudistamassa uuden viisivuotissuunnitelman pohjalta (TRA 5th Corporate Plan). Suomi tukee vuosina 2017-20
21  Tansanian verohallinnon viisivuotissuunnitelman toimeenpanoa neljän miljoonan euron yleistuella korirahastoon (TMP).  Yleistuen lisäksi Suomi pitää tärkeänä vahvistaa Tansanian verohallinnon (TRA) kapasiteettia toimeenpanna tarvittavia uudistuks
ia antamalla Suomen Verohallinnon (VERO) kautta TRA:lle teknistä tukea erityisesti verosäännösten noudattamisen parantamiseksi. Suomen verohallinto tukee TRA:ta 1)  lisäämään toimenpiteitä joilla yritysveronmaksajat vapaaehtoisesti noudattavat ver
osäännöksiä 2) parantamaan ymmärrystä asiakkaiden tarpeista ja vahvistamaan TRA:n palvelukulttuuria  3) vahvistamaan TRAn sisäisen tarkastuksen toimintatapoja. VEROn tekninen tuki TRA:lle on määrältään  miljoona euroa ja tuki kestää vuodesta 
2018 vuoteen 2021.Yhteistyölle annetaan vuosina 2019-20 lisätukea 230.000 euroa jolla pyritään myös 4) vahvistamaan TRA:n osaamista valmistautua kokonaisvaltaisen verohallintojärjestelmän toimeenpanoon.
FLC: Theatre Doc: Centre Stage for Women´s Rights PYM: Teatteriesitys naisten oikeuksista Though Tajikistan has ratified the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination agains Women (CEDAW) women still face widespread discrimination and inequality in social economic and political life. Gender-based violence is prevalent with as
 many as 1 in 2 married women having experienced emotional physical or sexual violence by their husbands. Domestic violence is often considered as commonplace and something that should not be discussed outside the family. A survey found out that 97 % of me
n and 72 % of women believe that a voman must tolerate violence to keep her family together. Naisiin kohdistuva väkivalta on suuri ongelma Tadzhikistanissa. Vaikka Tadzhikistan on ratifioinut YK:n sopimuksen naisiin kohdistuvasta syrjinnästä (Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women CEDAW) kokevat naiset päivi
ttäin syrjintää ja tasa-arvottomuutta elämän eri osa-alueilla. Esimerkkinä mainittakoon että joka toisessa avioliitossa naiset kokevat henkistä fyysistä tai seksuaalista väkivaltaa aviomiesten taholta. Asiasta ei kuitenkaan puhuta vaan sitä kats
otaan läpi sormien. Tutkimusten mukaan miehistä 97 % ja naisista jopa 72 % toteavat väkivallan olevan normaalia jota naisten tulee sietää pitääkseen perheen koossa. PYM-hanke on jatkoa kulttuurikeskus Bactrian menestyksekkäälle teatteriesitykselle
 joka esitettiin Tadzhikistanin pääkaupungissa Dushanbessa tammikuussa 2019. (Tuolloin rahoittajana toimi Sveitsi Swiss Development Office). Teatteriesityksessä käsiteltiin naisiin kohdistuvaa väkivaltaa. Yleisö otettiin mukaan esitykseen mm. yleisö
 toi esille omia mielipiteitä naisiin kohdistuvasta väkivallasta ja ideoista väkivallan lopettamiseksi ml. uusien lakialoitteiden kehittämiseksi. (Teatteriesitys videoitiin ja se on nähtävillä osoitteessa: https://bit.ly/2OpJkRy2). ITÄ-21 rahoittam
assa PYM-hankeessa muokataan aiempaa teatteriesitystä käsittelemään jokapäiväistä syrjintää ja tuodaan esille naisten oikeuksia myös kouluttautumisen ja työllistymisen saralla sekä luodaan ideoita syrjinnän lopettamiseksi. Esitys ei kohdistu v
ain naisiin vaan myös miehille annetaan mahdollisuus itsetutkiskeluun lopettaakseen naisiin kohdistuvaa väkivaltaa. Teatteriesitys käännetään ja esitetään myös tadzhikiksi aiemman venäjänkielisen esityksen lisäksi. Näin tavoitetaan mahdollisim
man laaja yleisö. Teatteriesitykset esitetään sekä Dushanbessa että Khujandissa. Tämän lisäksi Bactria tekee videon esityksestä joka on tarkoitus levittää sosiaalisessa mediassa.
F.a: Enhancing Inclusive and Gender Sensitive Mediation Capacities When conflicts are mediated, it is crucial to identify and address root causes that drive and feed the conflict, and to be aware of the gender-specific effects of proposed solutions. Mediators play a key role in translating this potential to reality: their
 ability to promote inclusive and gender-sensitive mediation strategies can harness the resources women and other excluded groups provide to achieve sustainable peace. While more gender expert advice has been provided to peace processes and a growing numbe
r of peace agreements have included gender-relevant provisions, the number of women involved in formal peacemaking processes remains low. Women and their views continue to be grossly underrepresented in peace processes. An increasing number of policymakers
 and mediation actors are normatively committed to increasing women’s participation in peacemaking but are only lacking support structures to do so. To bridge this policy-practice gap, CMI continues to reinforce the knowledge and agency of key actors in 
inclusive and gender sensitive mediation. The intention is to continue equipping mediators and mediation actors and structures with relevant knowledge and strategies on multiple inclusion mechanisms and support them to seize political entry points to do th
eir peace-making work better.Importantly, CMI’s work in this area is based on the premise that women’s inclusion can take on many different forms that go beyond direct representation at the negotiating table. There is a need to advance more politically
 nuanced mediation strategies that are tailored to context and its specific dynamics – rather than merely enforce global prescriptions. It is also crucial to document and disseminate these efforts and experiences to enhance learning and keep the profile 
of the issue high. To this end, CMI builds on its empirical track record and learning on strengthening women’s inclusion in mediation structures and specific conflict-affected contexts. Combined with in-depth context knowledge and longstanding partnershi
ps with key mediation actors such as the AU and the UN, CMI is uniquely positioned to support mediators in putting the Women, Peace and Security and inclusion agendas into play in the best interests of peace processes.
Humanitarian aid/UNHCR/Southwest Asia (Pakistan Afghanistan Iran) Hum.apu/UNHCR/Lounais-Aasian alue (Pakistan Afganistan Iran) The refugee situation in Afghanistan has continued for forty years and Afghans make up the the second largest refugee population in the world. Uncertain security situation continues to drive both internal displacement and refugee movements especially to ne
ighboring Pakistan and Iran. The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has worsened since 2018 because of severe drought and the number of people in need of humanitarian aid has almost doubled. The UNHCR assists and protects refugees IDPs and returnees. 1 
million euros is suggested to the UNHCR' Afghanistan situation operation. Afganistanin pakolaistilanne on jatkunut jo neljäkymmentä vuotta ja afgaanit muodostavat maailman toiseksi suurimman pakolaisväestön. Epävakaa turvallisuustilanne ajaa ihmisiä edelleen kodeistaan sekä maansisäisesti että Afganistanin ulkopuolelle 
erityisesti naapurimaihin Pakistaniin ja Iraniin. Humanitaarinen tilanne Afganistanissa on heikentynyt vuoden 2018 kuivuuden takia ja avuntarvitsijoiden määrä lähes kaksinkertaistunut. UNHCR keskittyy pakolaisten maansisäisesti siirtymään joutuneide
n ja palaajien avustamiseen sekä suojeluun. Esitetään 1 MEUR UNHCR:n alueelliseen operaatioon.
