Capacity Building for Emission Measurements in Uruguay VTT/LATU The relevance of the emission measurement development need is increasing with the various pulp mill plants existing and planned in Uruguay. There is a lack of capacity at the national level in Uruguay to perform emission measurements. Hence the control age
ncy Ministry of Housing Land and Environment is reluctant to promulgate generic emission standards due to the lack of official and readily available capacity to enforce the regulation. Uruguay needs its own solid capacity in emission measurements and quali
ty assurance of automated measuring system.  The overall objective of the project is to improve the level of emission monitoring for industrial sources as well as vehicle emissions raise the level of emission measurements in Uruguay close to international 
level and develop the system towards more harmonized measuring policies and procedures nationwide. The project purpose is to improve the competencies of emission measurements of LATU. The project will concentrate on training the LATU experts on specific me
asurement methods for particulates gaseous components as well as dioxins/furans and heavy metals. Furthermore different determination techniques and methods will be taught to tackle monitoring and control of odour from different sources as well as develop 
measurement methods for vehicle emissions and regulation related to these emissions. The direct beneficiaries of the project are the personnel of LATU whose capacity and knowhow is developed as well as the emission monitoring and regulating authorities. Pu
blic in general will benefit from the project through a potential improvement in the air quality with the improved emission monitoring and control.The project partners are VTT and LATU. Duration of the project is 3 years 2012-2014 and budget 400.000 Euros.

Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) Bonthe Island is one of the poorest and most isolated areas in Sierra Leone. The impacts of climate change such as the unprecedented rise in temperature and the frequency and severity of rainfall conditions on Bonthe Island, highlights the extent to which 
humans and their livelihoods have become vulnerable. This is likely to have an impact on the natural resources and environment on which livelihoods are derived. For example, heavy rains cause flooding of settlements and farms, while high temperatures have 
caused crop failure. Flooding also prevents rice farming for many households. Climate change is likely to also cause shifts in crop growing seasons which will have implications for food security. The objective of the project is to improve community resilie
nce and enhance adaptation to climate change on Bonthe Island by supporting sustainable livelihood options. The expected results are 1) Agriculture production increased and diversified, 2) Basic management skills (in business farming group dynamics) improv
ed, 3) Market linkages enhanced, 4) communities resilience against climate change impact built through alternative livelihoods activities.The beneficiaries are provided with training, education and awareness on environmental issues including climate change
 and disaster. They will be trained in the production and processing and storage of vegetables and crops as well as in intercropping technics, and organic manure production and applications. Beneficiaries will be supported with the requisite farm equipment
 and tools and will receive continuous technical support that will lead to a more productive and diversified cropping. Poultry farming is introduces as an alternative source of income for vulnerable women. While engaging the beneficiaries to improve on the
ir livelihoods coping strategies, the project will raise the awareness of the beneficiaries on key issues like human rights, gender equality and equity, and HIV/AIDS.Rights-holders /beneficiaries: Rural and peri-urban poor  Implementing partner: Green Scen

The Conference of Parties of the conventions start
ed a synergy process in 2006 with the aim to promote co-operation and coordination within the implementation of the conventions and to support the national implementation. The collaboration of the conventions has so far been improved by administrative and 
technical measures. The future challenge is to develop programme work. The first step was taken in the Conference of Parties in 2013 when the common budget and work plan of the three conventions were dealt for the first time. Due to the common work plan it
 is now possible to support the implementation of the synergy work.In the joint activities for 2014-2015 the focus is on the capacity building of least developed countries and small island states. Of Finland's long term development partners Ethiopia Kenya 
Mozambique Nepal Tanzania and Sambia are entitled to the support.Finland has worked on the improvement of the implementation of international environmental conventions on a long-term basis. Finland also considers the synergy process to be the core of the w
ork. As a ratifier of the conventions Finland is committed to support developing countries in the implementation of the obligations of the conventions. This commitment contributes to sustainable development and the achievement of the aims of the Finnish de
velopment policy.
