Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Zambia Project initiatated by Zambian Honey Council to address the financial and marketing needs of their members: honey producers and processors. The motivation for the project rose from the realisation of the fact that if beekeepers are to change from subsisten
ce honey production to honey production as a business they will need access to working capital. Currently working capital is from nearby sources such as a family member / friend / well wisher but will eventually need to change to a loan from a financial in
stitution. If increased honey production is to be promoted trainings in quality production increasing number of beekeepers and improved market linkages linked to access to finance becomes prudent so as to have a constant supply of quantity and quality hone
y on the market (meeting local demand). Specific objectives of the project are: 1) Help beekeepers increase access to commercial finance through the promotion of savings and credit honey production groups. 2) Improve honey packers access to credit through 
the use of invoice discount scheme hence increasing their purchasing power (bee products) from beekeepers leading to a constant supply of honey on local markets (supermarkets).  3) Improve the marketability of Zambian honey through the promotion of ZHC qua
lity assurance mark. 4) Improve supply of quality and quantities of honey by beekeepers through strengthening seven ZHC district and establishment of additional area associations. 5) Improve quality through adoption of ZHC field standards as national stand
ards in the country.Women participation is set at 30 % in all outlined activities. Within governance issues gender issues will be mainstreamed with at least 30% women leaders in the districts + area associations set up.
Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Argentina The project is a continuing phase for a project the Embassy supported with the Local Cooperation Fund in 2010. The first phase looked at equality in primary education in Argentina using Finland as an example. One of the critical findings was the lack of qu
ality in teacher training and teachers? qualifications and their influence in promoting inequality in the right to education. The qualitative differences in teacher education and teacher competence are notable in Argentina. This problem is addressed in the
 second phase of the project by looking at teacher training in Argentina the Argentine educational policies and decision-making. By using results of studies carried out international comparisons and the Finnish teacher training as examples a book will be d
rawn up on the subject. The purpose is to have recommendations and concrete proposals to create an educational policy for the future which would secure the right to education by ensuring the high standard of education in the whole country through a high qu
ality teacher training. The project will include bringing an expert on education from Finland to Argentina (funded by Unicef Argentina) to lecture on the Finnish education system and teacher training for Argentine policy-makers and those responsible for te
acher training. The embassy's share of the project funding is 73 % and the rest of the funding will be carried out by Unicef Argentina. The project's direct beneficiaries are the officials responsible for education policies at national and provincial minis
try of education and other experts principals and teachers of teacher training institutes as well as other experts and students of the educational sector. The long-term goal is to provide tools for the permanent and fundamental change in education policies
 concerning teacher training.
Capacity Building for the Development of Selective Breeding Programs in Vietnam The project Capacity Building for the Development of Selective Breeding Programs in Vietnam aims to improve the climate sustainability of the fishing industry and  minimize its environmental impact using fish processing means. Vietnam is very mountainous a
rea about 80% of the land is covered by mountains and water is too cold for fish normally growing in  warm areas. Fish farming has long traditions in Vietnam. The project aims at enhancing cold water aquaculture. One part of the project is a fish health pa
ckage which aims to protect the farming of cold water fish so that fish diseases do not ruin it.  The project supports sustainable use of natural resources and improves the climate sustainability which are mentioned in Finland's development policy and in t
he country strategy of Vietnam 2013-2016. The effects of the project in Vietnam are more far-reaching as it is providing a lot of work for the inhabitants of poor areas where also ethnic groups live. By this the project contributes to reduction of poverty.
 The project has its effects also on women as women usually do the most part of the fish processing work in Vietnam. The project is implemented by the Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute and Research Institute for Aquaculture No.1 in Vietnam and 
is carried out in the poor mountainous areas of the Northern and Central parts of Vietnam.

SUFORD-SF Sustainable Forest Development "Finnish support to the forest sector in Lao PDR started in 1995 with the Forest Management and Conservation Project (FOMACOP) which piloted an approach to participatory management of production forests called ""Village Forestry"". 2004 through 2008 began 
the initial phase of the Sustainable Forestry for Rural Development (SUFORD) Project in the form of parallel financing with the World Bank. The overall objective of SUFORD AF is to support the sustainable management of natural production forests in order t
o alleviate the rural poverty in the project provinces. In recent years SUFORD has been the largest development assistance project operating in the forest sector in Lao PDR and is recognised as an important resource in supporting national-level strategic d
ecision-making with the information and knowledge accumulated from the ground. SUFORD has been approached by GoL to assist them in regulatory development for benefit distribution schemes. Several other partners are increasing their support with particular 
interest upon forestry issues related to climate change. There have been ongoing efforts to develop research pilot activities and support for developing a Lao national program in Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+). Additionally th
e programme is seen by GOL as an input into its broader rural development activities. Sustainable Forest Development - Sustainable Financing Phase Project SUFORD-SF defines the Lao ? Finland cooperation in the forest sector for the period of 2013 - 2016. I
t is envisaged to be an exit phase of the long time support. It is designed to be tied with the World Bank's Forest Investment Programme (FIP)/ IDA programme, where the Government of Finland support is mainly in the form of Technical Assistance (TA) while 
the FIP/IDA programme provides the operational resources. The structure objectives and results have been adjusted to the FIP/IDA programme. The Project aims to secure effective implementation of sound policy and legal frameworks and forest management pract
ices enabling environmentally socially and economically sustainable management of production forests and enhanced contribution to poverty alleviation."
