Dutch Agreement on Sustainable Garments and Textile The businesses and organisations that sign the agreement commit themselves to fighting discrimination, child labour and forced labour. They also undertake to support a living wage, health and safety standards for workers, and the right of independent trade unions to negotiate. In addition, they will do everything in their power to reduce the negative impact of their activities on the environment, to prevent animal abuse, to reduce the amount of water, energy and chemicals that they use, and to produce less chemical waste and waste water. Transparency is a critical factor when it comes to identifying risks and working together to make improvements. One of the first steps was for the participating companies to share their production sites, an aggregated list of which has been made available. They also agreed on the project method. We intend to see an improvement in working conditions and/or wages in textile-producing businesses as well as in animal welfare and environmental protection. More and more garments and textiles will be produced under better and safer conditions, and a growing number of shops will be able to meet the consumer demand for fair and sustainable products.

Strengthening Resilience and Emergency Response capacity in Rakhine and Kachin This project seeks to strengthen the resilience (the ability of women, men, and children to realise their rights and improve their well -being despite shocks, stresses, and uncertainty) of individuals and communities in conflict affected and hazard prone areas of Kachin and Rakhine states. Within these areas, the action seeks to strengthen local capacities to both deliver quality and timely humanitarian responses to small -scale displacement, whether induced by conflict or natural disasters and to prepare for, cope and recover quickly from shocks caused by natural hazards and wider risks within communities. The approach to the complex challenges, multiple needs, risks and concerns within these communities will be addressed through community driven responses that are by their nature and design participatory and inclusive. The strength of this approach also lies in the experience of two international NGOs and 10 national Non Governmental Organisations/Civil Society Organisations (NGOs/CSOs) with complementary areas of technical expertise and in -depth knowledge of the targeted communities.
