Planning and monitoring  funds for the Finnish Syria-support Syyrian konfliktiin liittyvän kehitysyhteistyön suunnittelu ja hallinnointi Ministry for Foreign Affairs has just published the Strategy for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid in response to the conflicts in Syria and Iraq for 2017-2020. Finnish assistance to Syrian conflict exceeds 35 Million Euros in 2017 and 45 Millio
n to Iraq. Financing needs are not likely to decline during 2018. The MENA-unit is responsible for the overall monitoring of the strategy. Roughly 8 million Euros is directly on its project portfolio.The Finnish support to Syria and Iraq is thematically br
oad and changing conflict dynamics require a great deal of flexibility. Thus funds are needed for monitoring the existing (amounting to roughly 26 million Euros) and preparing the new interventions. Finnish funds are channeled through UN agencies World Ban
k Syria Recovery Trust Fund and (I)NGOs. Most of the monitoring is done by the MFA and Embassies' staff but also assessments audits and evaluations are contracted to support this function. Suomen apustrategia Syyrian ja Irakin konflikteihin vastaamiseksi on ollut voimassa vuodesta 2017 lähtien. Apustrategian uudistamistyö aloitetaan vuoden 2020 ensimmäisellä puoliskolla. Suomen apulupaus Syyrian tilanteeseen vuoden 2019 osalta on 25 milj
oonaa euroa. Sekä Syyrian että Irakin kriisien rahoitustarpeet eivät tule lähivuosina vähenemään. Maa- ja aluekohtaisen rahoituksen osuus kokonaisuudesta on vuonna 2019 hieman alle 9 miljoonaa euroa. Tuleville vuosille on suunniteltu sekä Syyrian e
ttä Irakin kriiseihin vastaamiseen varatun rahoituksen kasvattamista maa- ja aluekohtaisesta budjetista noin 10 miljoonan euron vuositasolle.Hankkeiden valmistelu seuranta ja arviointi ovat jatkuvia toimintoja hankehallinnossa. Syyria-Irak-tukemme on tema
attisesti laajaa ja vuonna 2015-2017 aloitettujen hankkeiden seuranta sekä uusien hankkeiden (tai vanhojen jatkorahoituksen) valmistelu tulee vaatimaan vuoden 2018 aikana varoja. ALI-10 suoraan hallinnoimia olemassa olevia hankkeita on käynnissä noin 26
 miljoonan edestä. Tuki on kanavoitu eri YK-järjestöjen Maailmanpankin Syyrianjälleenrakennusrahaston sekä muutamien kansalaisjärjestöjen kautta.Syyrian ja Irakin konfliktit ovat melko ennustamattomia ja tilanteet saattavat muuttua varsin nopeastiki
n. Siksi on tärkeää että ohjelman suunnitteluun ja seurantaan on varattu riittävästi varoja jolloin muuttuviin tilanteisiin pystytään reagoimaan nopeasti ja joustavasti esim. seurantamissioita tai tutkimuksia hankkimalla. Suuri osa työstä tehdä
än UM:n oman henkilöstön voimin mutta esim. tutkimuksia ja selvityksiä voidaan tilata hankintalain puitteissa.
LUKE INFORES Implementation of Forest Data in Tanzania LUKE INFORES Metsien inventointitiedon käyttöönotto Tansaniassa The project overall objective is Sustainable management and use of Tanzanian forests. The project will contribute to this by increasing the availability of information on forests by working with three institutions of which two are research institutes (SUA 
TAFORI) and one is Tanzania Forest Service. In the long run this will improve the living conditions for the people of the country through strengthened national economy and quality of life. The project aims at supporting forest and land use policy in line w
ith the National Forest Policy 2001. Forest land management forest-based industries and products and ecosystem conservation and management with institutions and human resources are included in NFP. The aim is sustainable supply of forest products and servi
ces by maintaining sufficient forest area under effective management employment and foreign exchange earnings through sustainable forest-based industrial development and trade and ecosystem stability through conservation of forest biodiversity water catchm
ents and soil fertility.The results and activities of the INFORES-Tanzania project:1) Strengthened capacity of direct beneficiary organizations on NAFORMA maintenance and data dissemination and improved capacity on multisource forest data processing and GI
S.2) Improved capacity of forest inventory and management oriented research in SUA and TAFORI. Hanke tukee metsien suojelua ja kestävää käyttöä. Sen tavoite on vahvistaa kolmen instituution kapasiteettia joista kaksi on tutkimusinstituuttia. Hanke hyödyntää Suomen rahoittaman metsien inventointihankkeen (FAO/NAFORMA) tuottamaa dataa ja tulo
ksia sekä pyrkii luomaan sille kestävät käyttöjärjestelmät ja -olosuhteet ja kouluttaa organisaatioita niiden käyttöön. Hankkeen kesto on kolme vuotta 2016-2018 ja rahoituksen koko on 700 000 ?.Hanke jakaantuu kahteen tulostavoitteeseen:1)Kapasit
eetin vahvistamiseen Tansanian metsähallituksessa metsätiedon käyttöön liittyvissä asioissa eritoten NAFORMA paikkatietojärjestemä monikanavainen datan tuotanto ja tietokannan ylläpito ja kehittäminen. 2)Parantamaan ja opettamaan SUA (Sokoinen yl
iopisto) ja TAFIRO:a (Tansanian metsäntuktimslaitos) metsän käyttöön ja suojelun tutkimukseen liittyvissä asioissa.Hankkeen välittömiä hyödynsaajia ovat virkamiehet ja tutkijat (n. välittömästi hankkeeseen nimetyt 30 henkilöä) joista 10 SUA:
ssa 7 TAFORI:ssa ja 9 TFS:ssä. Muita hyödynsaajia välillisesti ovat kaikki kolmessa organisaatiossa työskentelevät sekä myöhemmin metsää hyödyntävät ihmiset ja yritykset jotka käyttävät NAFORMA ? metsätietojärjestelmää.
Evaluation on improvement of womens and girls' rights in Finland's development co-operation Evaluointi naisten ja tyttöjen oikeuksien edistämisestä Suomen kehitysyhteistyössä Improvement of womens and girls' rights has been a priority in  Finland's development co-operation for a long time. The purpose of this evaluation is to generate learning that will help Finland to further improve its gender policies and programming. The pu
rpose is to generate learning in the form of good practice examples and lessons learnt rather than give generalizations on the effectiveness and impact of Finnish development cooperation. The evaluability study preceding the actual evaluation revealed that
 there is a gap between strong political commitment and actual implementation. There are insufficient monitoring data as well as evaluation reports available on this theme for the needs of overall impact evaluation.The main evaluation question is to assess
 the value merit and shortcoming of Finlands practices programmes and policies in promoting women and girls rights through multilateral multi-bilateral bilateral and civil society cooperation between 2012 and 2017. Employing mainly an adapted Outcome Harve
sting approachthe evaluation scope comprised missions to Nepal Kenya Somalia and the UN (UN Women and (UNFPA). The total evaluation budget is 441 500 Euros. Naisten ja tyttöjen oikeuksien edistäminen on Suomen pitkäaikainen kehityspolitiikan prioriteetti. Tässä evaluoinnissa on tarkoitus arvioida miten Suomen kehityspolitiikan ja kehitysyhteistyön keinoin on pystytty edistämään naisten ja tyttöjen oi
keuksia käytännössä. Evaluointia edelsi evaluoitavuusselvitys joka totesi että poliittinen sitoumus on vahvaa mutta poliittisen sitoumuksen ja käytännön toteutuksen välillä on kuilu. Arvioitavuuden todettiin olevan heikko mikä viittaa siihen ett
ä tarkoin määritellyt linjaukset sekä toisaalta avun tuloksellinen toteuttaminen ja seuranta ovat olleet epäsuhdassa keskenään Ensisijainen evaluaatiokysymys on ?arvioida Suomen kehitysyhteistyön naisten ja tyttöjen oikeuksia edistävien käytänt
öjen ohjelmien ja linjausten merkitystä saavutuksia ja puutteita jotka olivat toteutuneet monenvälisen yhdistetyn monen- ja kahdenvälisen kahdenvälisen ja kansalaisyhteiskunnan kanssa toteutetussa yhteistyössä vuosien 2012 ja 2017 välillä?. Sen si
jaan että olisi pyritty vetämään yleistettävissä olevia johtopäätöksiä Suomen kehitysyhteistyön tuloksellisuudesta tai sen vaikuttavuudesta evaluoinnin tavoitteena on tuottaa kokoelma esimerkkejä hyvistä käytännöistä ja saaduista kokemuksi
staEvaluoinnissa käytetään soveltaen muutosharava-lähestysmistapaa. Evaluointi kattaa matkat Nepaliin Keniaan Somaliaan ja YK:n päämajaan New Yorkiin (UN Women ja UNFPA). Evaluoinnin kokonaisbudjetti on 441 500 euroa.

UN Womenin hanke Maastrategia on osa UN Womenin Nepalin maaohjelmaa vuosille 2018-2021 ja sen kokonaisrahoitus on 4 miljoonaa euroa. Hanke jakautuu kahteen tulosalueeseen. Ensimmäisen tulosalueen tavoitteena on vahvistaa viranomaisten kykyä toimeenpanna 
sukupuolten tasa-arvoon liittyvää politiikkaa. Toisen tulosalueen tavoitteena on parantaa syrjäytyneisiin ryhmiin kuuluvien naisten osallistumista rauhanrakentamiseen ja talouteen.Lisämyöntö käsittelee sosiaalisten ja kulttuuristen normien muutoksen
 mittaamista tarinankerronnan avulla. Lisämyöntö on UN Womenin ja Suomen välinen yhteistyö jonka pitkän aikavälin tavoitteena on moniperusteisen ja intersektionaalisen syrjinnän ehkäiseminen vaikuttamalla yhteiskuntaan juurtuneisiin haitallisiin s
osiaalisiin ja kulttuurisiin normeihin. Keskipitkän aikavälin tavoitteena on vaikuttaa yksilöiden ja yhteisöjen asenteisiin sekä käyttäytymisen muutokseen. Nyt esityksessä olevan inception-lisämyöntövuoden tavoitteena on kehittää metodologiaa 
pysyvän muutoksen vaikutusten mittaamiseen ja kerätä hankkeen baseline sekä samalla vaikuttaa Nepalin UN Womenin vuonna 2022 alkavaan uuteen maastrategiaan.Metodologian replikointia ja sen laajentamista alueen muihin maihin suunnitellaan yhdessä aluet
oimiston (UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific) kanssa hankkeen edetessä.

The mission of the organization is to work for protecting the remaining forests of Riau, and that the local communities would benefit of the forest resources. The go
als of this joint project is to encourage policy changes, to support the participation of the civil society in stopping deforestation, to promote and to monitor the implementation of forest-related legislation, to promote participation and rights of local 
and indigenous communities in management and protection of natural resources and to promote efficient and sustainable landscape level management in peatland areas. The total project areas cover over 50 % of Sumatran peatland, which in turn equals to about 
20 % of all the peatlands in Indonesia. Also a mountaineous forest area, the Rimba corridor, is included in the project. High species biodiversity is typical for these project ecosystems. All project areas possess high levels of biodiversity and act as mas
sive carbon sinks. They are also important for water conservation, transportation, and providing livelihoods. The area is threatened by logging, deforestation and drainage of peatlands due to pulp and oil palm plantations. Together with the Jikalahari head
 office, the project will be carried out by four other NGOs: Mitra Insani, Elang, Hakiki and Jaringan Masyarakat Gambut Riau (JMGR), and the Riau Corruption Trial (RCT). Main methods are workshops and trainings, compiling reports and evaluations, advocacy 
and campaigning, along with monitoring implementation of the legislation. Beneficiaries of the project include 29 communities around the Riau province. Target groups include also local government, state government officials, big forest companies and Jikala
hari member organizations and international partners. The project will contribute to reduction of the the countrys carbon emissions that are caused by deforestation, as well as facilitate forest management by communitites and promote the rights of indigeno
us groups. Law enforcement is expected to prevent committing forest crimes. Local communities are also expected to become better aware of area protection and conservation. In addition, Jikalaharis capacity as a network of campaigning and advocacy to save R
iaus forests will be improved. Experiences from this project can be utilized for similar struggles in other areas. http://jikalahari.or.id/

Project formulation potato smallholder capacity building project, Punjab - local transport, expert Studies have found that potato production in Pakistan has room for improvement, and there is a need for better access to high-quality potato seeds. One way to achieve this is by encouraging Dutch seed companies to grow their products in Pakistan. However, these companies hesitate to do so because plant breeders’ rights are not fully protected in Pakistan. A project will be developed to improve the skills of small-scale potato farmers in Punjab and create a roadmap for better plant breeding rights in Pakistan.

Digital innovation in monitoring & tracing Child labour continues te be an important, yet often hidden, problem in worldwide value chains.Monitoring child labour is challenging as:1. information from plantation about child labour is limited,2. plantation is not fully willing to combat child labour,3. data collection and interpretation is not independent,4. monitoring is often a snapshot, and5. workers and relatives are often hesitant to provide sensitive information.With the use of technology (even with limited internet access) any local entity can report on child labour and has the information verified in a pseudo-anonymous way – a solution that is highly scalable, anonymous, sector agnostic and culturally embedded using the latest technologies. Project partners' solution is very cost-efficient and allows them to truly cover vast areas without the need of much additional manpower, having the potential of being a game-changer for monitoring in the developing world. The project is focused on tackling these challenges by using more sources, creating incentives to provide information, as well as increasing the independency, continuity and anonymity in monitoring. They use technology to support this goal taking into account literacy rates, access to technology and cultural styles.
