F.a: The Care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in the Context of HIV and Aids, Political Violence and Poverty Project The project aims at encouraging communities to take part in the most vulnerable children's care, protection and the provision of the essentials of life in the children's home communities. Action is based on a comprehensive and sustainable community based s
upport model for AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children.The grandmothers’ groups in the Gwai area were formed as an informal response to Zimbabwe’s 1990s political chaos, deepening economic plight, livelihood challenges, deteriorating situation of 
HIV and AIDS and drought years. The grandmothers of a Lutheran congregation in a small country village in Matebeleland organized themselves in order to take care of orphans in their community. Soon they were joined by grandmothers in other churches. Thus w
as born the first Grandmothers groups in the area.Over the years the activity has expanded and become established, in part, as a result of systematic efforts in copying the model to other areas. The model as such provides an alternative to the institutiona
l care of orphans in Zimbabwe. At the moment there are at least 14 grandmothers’ groups in Chingoma area. The group size and activity varies, but larger groups support up to 250 children. It is estimated that in Zimbabwe, more than 850 000 children have 
been orphaned due to HIV.Grandmothers’ groups define themselves the targeted children. They are familiar with the community and the situation in families and are therefore able to assess and prioritize the situation of individual children. The children a
re faced with a wide range of economic and social problems: stress, sadness, stigma, discrimination, isolation, economic deprivation, lack of access to education, domestic work burden and fear for the future of their own and their loved ones.Grandmothers m
eet a wide range of roles in children's lives. They provide psycho-social support, such as discussion and plays with the children, as well as storytelling and discussions to strengthen children's identity, belonging to society and self-esteem. They also su
pport the education of children by encouraging, assisting with homework and providing school fees, school uniforms and school books. Grandmothers also teach the children daily living skills, such as sewing, small-scale farming, cooking, cleaning up and was
hing up, as well as provide them with food during the dry season and support them with cultivation during the crop season.
Financial support to the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission AIHRC Tuki Afganistanin riippumattomalle ihmisoikeuskomissiolle (AIHRC) Continuation of financial support to the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) in 2014-16 with yearly contribution of 400 000 euros. The AIHRC founded on the Afghan constitution is the most important actor in the country in the field of h
uman rights. Main priorities of AIHRC are: the promotion of the rights of women and children human rights training monitoring and reporting the legal praxis in the transition phase and promotion of the rights of people with disabilities. The AIHRC works to
 support the Afghan government as an advisory body with the goal that human rights are given the precedence they deserve in the government?s decision-making process. Furthermore AIHRC directly supports citizens whose human rights have been violated or who 
are susceptible to violations. For example during the period from March to July 2013 AIHRC received and registered 1525 complaints pertaining to human rights violations. 290 of these cases were identified as a human rights violation 60 of them were solved 
with the legal intervention of the AIHRC; 451 of them are being processed in relevant courts and 462 are being followed up by the AIHRC. During the same period of time AIHRC reported an increase of cases of violence against women. Afganistanin perustuslakiin perustuva riippumaton ihmisoikeuskomissio (Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Comission AIHRC) on Afganistanin tärkein ihmisoikeustoimija. Sen päätehtäviä ovat 1) tarkkailla maan ihmisoikeustilannetta 2) edistää ja suoj
ella ihmisoikeuksia 3) tarkkailla ja edistää afganistanilaisten ihmisoikeuksien toteutumista ja pääsyä oikeuslaitoksen palveluiden piiriin 4) ihmisoikeusrikkomusten tutkimus ja seuranta sekä 5) ihmisoikeustilanteen parantaminen maassa.  AIHRC toimii 
Afganistanin hallituksen neuvoa antavana elimenä ja antaa tukea ja neuvontaa kansalaisille joiden ihmisoikeuksia on loukattu tai jotka ovat loukkauksille alttiita. AIHRC on 16 vuoden olemassaolonsa aikana saanut vietyä maan ihmisoikeustilannetta eteenpä
in. Vankiloiden monitorointi on selvästi tehokkaampaa ja poliisin suorittamat kidutustapaukset ovat vähentyneet. Naisten oikeuksien osalta AIHRC on nostanut keskusteluun arkojakin aiheita. Myönteistä on myös lasten ja vammaisten ihmisten oikeuksien ed
istäminen. AIHRC:n työ nauttii kansallista ja kansainvälistä arvostusta sitä pidetään näkyvänä ja hyvin toimivana ihmisoikeusinstituutiona johon yhteistyötahot luottavat. AIHRC:n rahoittaminen tukee Suomen kehityspoliittisen selonteon painopiste
itä 3 (yhteiskuntien demokraattisuus ja toimintakyky ovat vahvistuneet) ja 1 (naisten ja tyttöjen oikeudet ja asema ovat vahvistuneet). Suomi tukee AIHRC:n työtä yhteensä 1 500 000 eurolla vuosina 2019-2021.

F.a: Organizational Development of Colombian Trade Union Center CUT The project strengthens the organizational development of Colombian Trade Union Center CUT so that it can efficiently support its member unions and the trade union movement in general, and influence labor market issues at national level.

ion movement is fragmented which makes collective bargaining and organizing workers difficult. Women´s and young workers´ participation in trade union activities is still lower than men´s and CUT´s organizational capacity has deficiencies. The project 
aims at supporting and strengthening CUT as a trade union center according to the strategic plan approved in its 2014 Congress. As result of the project, the affiliation in CUT and its member unions increases, women and young people participate more active
ly in the trade union activities, sectorial trade union structures get stronger and CUT´s communication improves, which in turn supports organizing efforts. Project contributes to strengthening existing sector unions and progressing towards sectorial orga
nization structure in other sectors, increasing membership in unions and trade union central CUT by 10 % during the next three years, improvement of CUT´s communication, increasing participation of women and young people in trade union activities and impr
oving their access to decision-making bodies in the unions. Project´s beneficiaries are workers organized in trade unions in the eight target sectors and the trade union central CUT. The project is implemented by Colombian trade union central Central Unit
aria de Trabajadores de Colombia (CUT). CUT was established in 1986 and SASK has cooperated with CUT many years through projects.

his work is needed and which principles are guiding it. Communications focuses on the core thematic and geographic areas of Plan’s programmes. It draws material from Plan’s international network and makes use of programme countries’ grassroots experi
ence as well as the broad report and research database, providing linkages for understanding projects as part of a larger context. Programme work is promoted through press releases and seminars on current issues in both Finnish and Swedish. The website pro
vides information on each of Plan Finland’s projects and presents news on its key themes, including education, early childhood care and development, child protection and the challenges of youth employment.Plan’s communications actively produces backgro

F.a: Supporting African Mediation Capacities In Sub-Saharan Africa various regional, sub-regional, and national organizations have been established to respond to the emerging crises on the continent. In addition to the African Union (AU), at the sub-regional level, the Regional Economic Communities (
RECs), such as ECOWAS, SADC, ECCAS and IGAD, have become integral building blocks of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA). While the AU maintains overall responsibility for peace and security issues on the continent, the RECs – being geogra
phically close to and often more affected by civil and regionalized conflicts – are considered principal conflict resolution actors in their respective sub-regions. Within the APSA, the Principle of Subsidiarity serves as the guiding principle for organi
zing coordination and collaboration between the AU and the RECs. Although relatively robust, these mechanisms for conflict prevention and peace mediation are young and, as such, lack sufficient capacities to effectively and efficiently respond to the diver
se peace and security challenges on the continent. Moreover, the lack of collaboration between regional, sub-regional, and national actors and insufficient inclusivity of peace processes remains a particularly significant challenge to reaching sustainable 
solutions to emerging crises in Africa through peace mediation. The problem addressed by this project is the limited conflict prevention and mediation capacities of African national, regional and sub-regional actors. CMI is well positioned to support and b
uild the capacities of African regional, sub-regional, and national actors for various reasons. Above all, CMI maintains partnerships with key actors in Sub-Saharan Africa, including the AU and a number of RECs (ECOWAS, ECCAS) along with influential non-st
ate actors, such as the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) and the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD). In contributing to the strengthening of African conflict prevention and mediation capacities and enhancing th
e quality of peace processes, the African Mediation Capacities project focuses on two component areas: operational support and policy work.
