Country Office 506291 Oxfam Novib Bukavu This project will work towards women#s political participation by doing the following (1) overcoming the constraints that women face if they wish to participate in politics, (2) strengthening the capacity of civil society to work with women to influence duty bearers and for women to have a voice; (3) mobilizing women and youth for targeted campaigns to promote women's leadership and politicalempowerment; (4) increasing the commitment of key stakeholders to change attitude and behaviour so women can obtain their rights and (5) change structures within government so women can have a voice in the areas that affect them.
This project is part of the OxfamNovib DRC PISD program which has the long term outcome to ensure women and girls' sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) are respected, allowing them to live free of violence and to negotiate healthy relationships thus developing their bodily integrity. This project specifically works towards the targeted outcome to promote active citizenship and women#s leadership, making women#s rights matter within the public and social spheres in DRC.

The assumption within this programme and of this specific project is that by having women be politically active they can influence to ensure that laws are not only changed but implemented around their rights which include ensuring the implementation of the DRC governments policies on #Politique Nationale de la Santé de la Reproduction# which currently are not being met.

The project will create space for dialogue between citizens and their representatives which could fundamentally change people#s attitudes regarding the future of their community and livelihood. Social contracts between citizens andtheir political representatives will systematize citizen#s ability to demand accountability of duty bearers as well as good governance. The civic groups can do follow up over time, encourage and accompany young women candidates to run, they can participate in election observation and even lobbying; they will serve asmodels for their peers and can grow and replicate. Overall the training of media partners will not only deliver a product to use for campaigning around women#s leadership but will have lasting effects where competent women#s interest media organizations and community mobilizing will continue to work in synergy for the lead up to elections in 2016.

Construction of pit latrines in schools using government standard designs will assure and promote privacy for the opposite sexes (girls and boys) and it will contribute to reductionin disease incidences resulting from poor faecal disposal. Working in close collaboration with the local government will create a sense of ownership because the infrastructures will revert back to the district local government when the refugees return home and this will reduce government burden to manage emergency occurrences.

Construction of houses for PSNs shall improve the quality of lifeof the PSNs. They will have better shelters and sanitation facilities thereby reducing incidences of hygiene related illnesses

Provision of core relief items and hand washing facilities will enable female sex experiencing menstrual monthly cycle to maintain goodmenstrual hygiene and management. It will contribute to increase enrollment and retention and good class attendance by school girlshence reducing school drop outs resulting from failures to manage menstrual hygiene and management

Hygiene education in schools and at HH level will improve the level of participation of beneficiaries in sanitation activities e.g. washing hands after using latrine, cleaning the pit latrines on a daily basis, constructing dish racks, using 1 refuse pit per HH, 2 refuse pits per school and 1 hygiene promoter per 500 persons will improve hygiene and sanitation situation and reducing incidences of disease spread in the settlement at both institutional, community and household levels. This is further expected to decrease the risk of outbreaks of diseases like cholera hence improve general healthand living conditions of refugees and hosting communities.

Psychosocial interventions shall create peaceful co-existence between the conflicting groups. These avenues shall build resilience among the depressed communities and individuals.

Promotionofcash transfer programming will increase access to income to most household members that will boost the family financial status and enabling them to meet basic domestic needs instead of staying idle.

The project envisages transformed, healthier and happy refugee and host families free from post war trauma and co-existing peaceful with all.
The project targets to concentrate in only zone of the Camp with a total population of 43,178 people.More focus will be on schools and young girls.
Care for victims of sexual violence The proposed project aims to provide support for 2 years in the health system of the province of North Kivu in its effort to strengthen the medical and psychosocial care for victims of sexual violence. A population of 1,267,333 inhabitants in 4 health zones will be targeted by this support.
Long characterized by ongoing insecurity, the North Kivu province has seen some improvement in the security situation following the victory in 2013 of the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo on the main rebel movement called M23. However, the security situation begins again to deteriorate in late 2014, and some areas of insecurity persist. As a result,sexual violence remains a serious public health problem. The areas where the conflict persists are particularly affected and authors are in those areas attributed to armed groups. sexual violence survivors have very limited access to health services, basic socio-economic and legal.
The project objective is to improve the accessibility, availability and quality of medical and psychosocial carefor victims of sexual violence (VVS) in Kirotshe health zones, Goma, Karisimbi and Nyiragongo located in the North Kivu province bystrengthening the health system.

Access Now Access Now clusters its work under three headings:

(i)	Technology:  Provide technology solutions and real-time advice for activists and civil society groups in contexts where open, free and safe communications is lacking.  This strand of work includes emergency response interventions, as in the case of providing security expertise to independent news websites in and outside Malaysia when they came under DDoS attacks  during the recent elections, as well as longer term nurturing of and support to technology solutions.  Access has through its grants programme provided seed funding for initiatives to develop freedom-of-expression technologies, and continues to encourage such innovation through its award programme which it launched in 2012 .

(ii)	Policy:  This strand of work covers broad policy interventions in the different areas of digital security.  The targeted actors are governments, corporations, and civilsociety.  A prominent example of Accesss work here is its efforts to get companies in the ICT sector to commit to their responsibilities, through its TelCon Action Plan, and the Silicon Valley and Human Rights Conferences it organised in 2011 and 2012, with a third one scheduled for September this year.

(iii)	User Engagement: Access places under this heading all its campaigning work, which mobilises its 400,000-strong community, to defend and extend the digital rights of users at risk around the world.  Examples of suchcampaigns include those that targeted Syria, Egypt, Malaysia, MTN, Facebook, and Yahoo.

Weman Fadu FADU is one of the 10 contributing CSO partners in the GENVAD progamme funded by IFAD for the period November 2011-December 2013. Other CSO partners are ACORD, BAIR and Duhamic Adri (Rwanda), FADU (Nigeria), CEFORD, CREAM, ESAFF, PELUM and VEDCO (Uganda).

FADU together with NANTS aim as part of this project to enable women and men from vulnerable groups in the rice and cocoa value chains in Nassarawa and Osun States to address gender inequalities and improve their position in the value chains. They aim to directly and indirectly involve 5000 people (3000 women and 2000 men) from vulnerable groups in the rice value chain, and 10,000 people (8000 womenand 2000 men) from vulnerable groups in the cocoa value chain. They aim at community-led changes to overcome poverty and inequality, as well as gender equality in the rice and cocoa value chains.
Since November 2007 Oxfam Novib's Women's Empowerment MainstreamingAnd Networking (WEMAN) programme has been spearheading the development of an innovative Gender Action Learning System (GALS). GALS is a key methodology employed by Oxfam Novib to challenge and change gender inequalities in households and communities. It also addresses power issues between communities and service providers, religious and traditional authorities, private sector and government actors.

The project funded by IFAD aims to contribute to sustainable pro-poor wealth creation and value chain upgrading in Uganda, Rwanda and Nigeria through empowerment of women and men from the poorest and most vulnerable households and the establishment of equitable participatory processes for economic decision-making at various levels. This will be achieved through adapting and scaling up the innovative pictorial GALS methodology for the community led action research in a range of value chains, contexts and organisations. The local experiences of integrating GALS in particular value chains or types of interventions will be documented as integration models. These can be used by others as an example for designing and implementing GASL as a pilot, providing a basis for further scaling up and replication (including India, Sierra Leone and Ghana) and wider influence on national and international policies and practices in value chain development.
Empowerment and raising voice of ethnic This is the continuation of the project #Empowerment and raising voice of ethnic minority people in Dak Glong district, Dak Nong province# from October 2013 to October 2015

The project #Empowerment and raising voice of ethnic minority people in Dak Glong district, Dak Nong province# aims to empower the ethnic minority people living in seven communes in Dak Glong to claim their social, culture and economic rights.  The project fosters ethnic minorities# confidence to take action and identify solutions to their own problems and to become more active participants in community development activities. This project is among other projects of Oxfam aiming to empowerment and raising voice of ethnic minorities.
