Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) The project campaigns for legislation change to ensure public sector negotiation rights in all ten provinces of Mozambique. Related to this are mobilisation trainings especially for young and female workers. The union leadership develops a new strategy and
 based on that a new union-building project will be planned towards the end of the year 2014, with two alternative scenarios in mind: a) if the current public sector bill is passed into law, starting 2015 a massive organising campaign and basic rights trai
ning will be initiated, and b) if the law does not pass, campaigning will continue until it does, and at the same time more members are organised and trained in basic rights.Public sector workers form the largest group of employees in Mozambique having for
mal employment contracts, hence the Mozambican public sector trade union SINAFP could be the biggest and most influential union of the country. However, it does not have officially recognised position as the legitimate representative of workers and a negot
iation partner. Therefore the reasons for workers to join the union are little, which in turn weakens the weight of the union in bringing about changes. This is why the change of legislation is the key for respect of workers? rights, and also a prerequisit
e for the existence and functioning of the union. The Parliament of Mozambique developed a proposal for the law already in the beginning of 2010?s, and in this process comments from SINAFP and the global union federation of public services PSI were partly 
taken into account. Since 2012 the government authorities have made repeated promises to get the law passed, but still the process is on-going. Visible and public campaigning especially in the election year 2014 can promote passing of the law, which would 
be a very significant step towards full trade union rights.The project supports the campaign regarding public sector freedom of association and negotiation rights. A new union development project for the years 2015-2017 will be planned before the end of th
is pilot.Beneficiaries of the project are union members, leaders and public sector workers.The project is implemented by the global federation of public sector unions Public Services International (PSI) and its Mozambican affiliate Sindicato Nacional de Fu
ncao Publica (SINAFP).
KV.RAH.LAIT/Multilateral Debt Relief Iniative MDRI in IDA and AfDF On July 1 2006 the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) which will cancel the International Development Association (IDA) debt of some of the world?s poorest countries will take effect.  Under the MDRI IDA is expected to provide about US$37 billion i
n debt relief over 40 years. This is in addition to approximately US$17 billion of debt relief already committed by IDA under the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative. The MDRI was launched at the July 2005 G8 Summit in Gleneagles Sco
tland where G8 leaders pledged to cancel the debt of the world?s most indebted poor countries most of which are located in Africa. Their proposal required full debt cancellation by the International Development Association (IDA) the International Monetary 
Fund (IMF) and the African Development Fund (AfDF) to countries that have completed the HIPC Initiative.  The MDRI provides irrevocable upfront debt stock cancellation. The objective is to provide additional support to Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC
s) to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) while preserving the financing capacity of the International Financial Institutions. Eligible Countries: As stipulated by the G8 countries that have ?graduated? from the HIPC Initiative (called reaching t
he ?completion point.?) are eligible for additional debt relief under the MDRI.  Initially 19 countries are expected to receive 100 percent cancellation of their eligible debt: Benin Bolivia Burkina Faso Cameroon Ethiopia Ghana Guyana Honduras Madagascar M
ali Mauritania Mozambique Nicaragua Niger Rwanda Senegal Tanzania Uganda and Zambia.  The remaining HIPC countries (see HIPC Web Site) will be eligible for debt cancellation once they have completed the requirements of the HIPC Initiative. There is no new 
conditionality but ?once-off? assessments were conducted for the 19 HIPCs that have already reached completion point to determine whether there had been any deterioration in performance since reaching the completion point. Initially Mauritania did not meet
 the eligibility requirements but has since taken steps to improve its public finance management. Mauritania?s participation was reconfirmed by the IDA Board on June 27.

Groups of women producing and selling avocados in Guatemala In Guatemala indigenous peoples and women are both vulnerable groups. It is especially important to improve the education and income level of women living in the countryside. When the income and the skills increase their opinions also need to be taken bett
er into consideration in the society and families.The project which is currently applied for is based on the best results of the previous 2012-2013 co-operation projet between AMEU and SYL. The direct beneficiaries of the project are the 30 indigenous maya
 women in the project areas of the previous project and 120 women in two new project municipalities: Acatenango and Parramos.The long-term objective of this project is to improve the social status and income of women. The direct objective of the project he
lps to achieve that: Women are able to start selling the Hass avocados in the previous and later in new project municipalities and receive income. These objectives are reached by the following results:1.The avocado nurseries are established and used2. Wome
n have the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to grow Hass avocados.2. Women have the knowledge and the skills to turn avocados into commercial products.Thus the women aqcuire the knowledge and skills to establish avocado nurseries and ta
ke care of the plants which are completed with skills to commercialise avocados. In addition the nurseries will be established.The women participate in key project activities the regular trainings by AMEU. The theoretical and practical sessions are divided
 into modules.This way AMEU wants to create a training model which could be replicated.The cross-cutting objectives are in line with the project: The project attempts to increase gender-equality by showing indegenous peoples' women means to increase their 
income. This would diminish the differences in income in an environmentally sustainable way.Trees absorb carbon dioxide and bind the land that is vulnerable for erosion. The project has a human rights based approach as the project aims at improving womens'
 possibilities to decide on their own matters and to create income and thus to implement womens' rights. On the other hand they have the duty to do their share and the local administration has obligations towards the women. Diveristy is respected and the p

Arusha Hear! Deaf primary school pupils in Tanzania are facing severe difficulties in their progress to reach secondary level education. Tteaching language in secondary schools is mainly English and the deaf are not offered any help in interpretation. A significant num
ber of deaf pupils drop out from school due to the lack of opportunities to study effectively, consequently they find it extremely challenging to find employment. The main goal of the project is to improve the opportunities for deaf pupils to increase thei
r chances to complete the secondary education. The Deaf Unit at Meru Primary School (MPS) in Arusha is chosen to receive a specific information technology targeted learning environment. This enhancement is achieved by supporting continuing training for tea
chers and developing the skills of all pupils in information technology data searching data processing and in the English language.An important aspect of the technological learning environment is the learning centre. The data projector all computers and ro
om lighting are powered by solar energy. The centre will introduce information technology clubs training for teachers/student teachers as well as classroom teaching. To support and maintain the educational and technical infrastructure two persons with both
 IT and sign language skills will be employed.The beneficiaries are the deaf young people including those who have dropped out from education and local young IT supportive teams. This project and its unique training support will also benefit the area?s tea
chers by providing IT expertise to the teachers at MPS and other educational staff around Arusha in turn enabling them all to offer the most appropriate learning environment for disadvantaged children. Those studying at the Patandi Teachers? College will g
ain experience in practice. Thus the target of effectively teaching deaf children can be further enhanced and improved.This project will support the rights of the young disabled and socially displaced minorities. Also gender equality will be effectuated by
 implementing the new teaching method to more female pupils. At present the deaf female/male pupil ratio in MPS is 36/43. With the new tuition method the numbers of female pupils entering secondary education will most likely see a significant increase.The 
Arusha Special Needs Education Coordinator the headmaster of MPS and FSE ry has jointly developed this project. All above organisations will implement the project mutually.
