ectual, professional and physical abilities to address their needs. The project will create awareness on the rights of young people and how they can influence the duty bearers on their rights.The project will be implemented by The Community of Pentecostal 
Churches in Burundi (CEPBU) in partnership with Fida International. The Project will be spread across 7 local church assemblies in the communities which have the largest population of unemployed Youth. The project will be implemented in a holistic manner w
ith the active participation of the all stakeholders including the Young people. In Burundi, a large number of young people leave school early without acquiring the intellectual, professional and physical abilities in order to fit into the socio - professi
onal or find a job. The education system has indeed a high repetition rate in primary education (38%) and secondary education (29%). At the end of each school year, a very important number of pupils drop out the school. After primary school (6 years of sch
ooling), many pupils do not have access to secondary education. This situation is more critical when it comes to the returnees from Tanzania. Most of the children who were in Tanzania schools drop out when they arrive in Burundi because of the language bar
rier. Schools in Burundi use French language unlike in Tanzania who use Swahili and English and therefore makes it difficult for returnees Children.   There are various activities which will take place during the implementation process. Among the activitie
s are to train Church leaders on the rights of Youth and the drafting of the youth policy. The project will follow up the approval and adoption of the youth ministry policy by CEPBU and support the process of printing and dissemination. The project will as

Mental Health Interventions in high risk conditions Project focuses to the South of Lebanon where the Palestinian refugee population suffers from large scale poverty and lack of basic services. Damages of the Israeli-Hezbollah war 2006 are still there and the camps are surrounded by military forces. Since 2
012 South has got an influx of displaced Syrian and Palestinian people from Syria. One third of the population is under aged 18. Treatment of the developmental and mental health difficulties of the children and adolescents is crucial for their future.Long-
term goal is the psychological well-being of the Palestinian community. The purpose of the project is to assist Palestinian-Lebanese NGO Beit Atfal Assumoud to develop mental health program for the children and adolescents living in Palestinian communities
 in South Lebanon. BAS has opened two Family Guidance Centers (FGC) in the region (Tyre 2007 Saida 2010). Centers support the families in parenting tackle the maltreatment and negotiate with parents in family conflicts. The continuation project combines th
e experience of these two centers to start a new phase. Crucial is the implementation of the community-based mental health (CBMH) working model, specialists support the social workers in home interventions. Project enables mental health services yearly for
 ca 250-300 new patients and continuation of the treatment for 400-500 children. The quality of service is maintained and the adoption of new working model is supported by staff training. For the local staff in children's services FGCs arrange training ses
sions. For parents siblings and other caregivers FGCs arrange awareness group sessions workshops about required themes and encourage to the peer support. The work of BAS is environmental friendly. Recycling and nature protection are common themes in activi
ties. Due to the water problem in the region the inhabitants use bottled water. The gender is added in the activity statistics to be able to monitor the equality in service. Fathers are actively invited to share the efforts for the well-being of their chil
dren. Unfortunately Palestinians in Lebanon do not have civil rights and no possibility to join in democratic decision making in the host country. State of Lebanon defines the Palestinian child only as recipient of UNRWA assistance (Al-Yassir + Khalidi 200
6). In this context to familiarize children with children's rights is important to build future perspectives.

Dien Bien Phu Drainage Wastewater Collection and Treatment ProjectVN The project comprises rehabilitation and extension of drainage system and sewerage network as well as construction of a 10 000 m3/day biological wastewater treatment plant. The project aims at improving the living standard of local people by reducing pollu
tion of the environment and flooding in the town. Because of the elimination of many untreated wastewater discharge points the project considerably reduces water pollution.The need for the wastewater treatment plant is imminent and undeniable. The current 
wastewater system is practically nonexistent. Small combined drainage and sewerage system is mainly located along some of the main roads and due to neglected maintenance and dredging its drainage capacity has been seriously limited. Wastewater from househo
lds and other sources is mixed with storm-water and discharged untreated at several points to the Nam Ron River.The project management and implementation is under the Dien Bien People's Committee and the executing agency responsible for the project is Majo
r Construction Project Unit of Dien Bien Province. Urban Environment Company is responsible of the waste management of the area and thus is the end user of the wastewater system. The Finnish exporter was procured in Vietnam and Econet Ltd was chosen. Dien 
Bien People's Committee will be responsible of connecting private households to the wastewater system and on this part the project will only cover the sewer piping.Implementation of the project should take 2 years and the project is funded with the 10-year
 loan. In addition to the grant portion interest expenses are covered from the Finnish development aid funds.
