Nepal / WHO / Humanitarian assistance for the victims of Nepal's earthquake Nepal / WHO / Humanitaarinen apu Nepalin maanjäristyksen uhreille A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on 25 April creating large scale damage and many casualties. According to initial estimations and based on the latest earthquake intensity mapping over 8 million people are affected in 39 of Nepal?s 75 districts. Ove
r 2 million people live in the 11 most critically hit districts. The UN Flash Appeal calls for US$415 million to respond to the most urgent humanitarian needs for the next three months. Finland will allocate 500 000 euros in humanitarian assistance to the 
victims of the earthquake in Nepal through World Health Organisation (WHO). Alustavien arvioiden mukaan Nepalissa 25.4.2015 sattunut maanjäristys vaikuttaa kahdeksan miljoonan ihmisen elämään. Heistä kaksi miljoonaa asuu pahimmin tuhoutuneilla alueilla. YK:n yhteisen salamavetoomuksen summa on 415 miljoonaa dollaria ja sen ta
rkoituksena on tavoittaa kaikki  ne ihmiset joihin kriisi vaikuttaa.  Suurimmat tarpeet juuri tällä hetkellä ovat ruoka-avussa terveydessä puhtaan veden sanitaation ja hygienian (WASH) varmistamisessa sekä suojien järjestämisessä. Infrastruktuuri o
n tuhoutunut pahoin ja logistiset haasteet avun perille saamisessa ovat suuret. Suurenahuolenaiheena on että tarttuvat taudit alkavat levitä mikä pahentaisi humanitaarista tilannetta entisestään. Suomi myöntää YK:n yhteisvetoomuksen pohjalta 500 00
0 euroa Nepalin maanjäristyksen uhrien auttamiseen Maailman terveysjärjestön (WHO) kautta.
OHCHR; Support to the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities OHCHR; YK:n vammaisten henkilöiden oikeuksien erityisraportoijan tukeminen; 2. lisämyöntö Rights of persons with disabilities are a priority area within the Finnish human rights and development policies. Finland supports the work of the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities. Her duties include the enhancement and advo
cacy work related to disability issues particularly concerning persons with disabilities that live in the developing countries. With the help of the project disability issues are also strengthened in the post 2015 development agenda. An important goal of t
he project is also to increase the participation of persons with disabilities into national and international processes that concern their rights. Finland has supported the work of the Special Rapporteur through UN DESA before but in 2014 the mandate was m
oved to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Special Rapporteur has played an important role in the advancement of the rights of persons with disabilities particularly in developing countries. Finland's support has been appreciated 
by the disability rights actors globally. The amount of support is proposed to remain the same in 2015 (200.000 EUR) as in previous years. Vammaisten henkilöiden oikeudet ovat Suomen ihmisoikeus- ja kehityspolitiikan painopistealue. Suomi tukee YK:n vammaisten oikeuksien erityisraportoijan työtä jonka tavoitteena on parantaa ja lisätä tietoisuutta erityisesti kehitysmaissa asuvien vammai
sten henkilöiden tilaneesta. Suomen tukeman hankkeen avulla pyritään vahvistamaan myös vammaiskysymysten huomioimista osana kestävän kehityksen tavoitteiden toimeenpanoa (Agenda 2030). Hankkeen tavoitteena myös lisätä vammaisten henkilöiden osall
istumista kansallisen ja kansainvälisen tason prosesseihin joissa päätetään heitä itseään koskevista asioista. Raportoijan työ on ollut merkittävässä roolissa vammaisten henkilöiden oikeuksien edistämisessä erityisesti kehitysmaissa ja Suome
n tukea on vammaisyhteisössä arvostettu laajalti. Tukea on tarkoitus myöntää 100.000 EUR vuonna 2018.

F.a: Promote the Citizen Rights of Transgender  (Hijra) Community Raising awareness; information, education and advocacy for Hijras’ rights. Hijras are a group of transsexuals, who feel that they represent the third sex. Hijras are usually abandoned by their own families and communities. Bangladeshi Hijras live in thei
r own communities in almost complete isolation from the rest of society. Hijras do not have access to education, health care, or to participate in cultural events. Hijras have traditionally been forced to earn their living by dancing and prostitution. In a
ddition to the discrimination, Hijras suffer from direct sexual and other physical violence not only by the community, but also by the police. Acts of violence are almost always to be elucidated. There are an estimated 100 000 Hijras in Bangladesh. Sexuali
ty-related topics traditionally in Bangladeshi culture have not been subject to public debate, which is why the sexual and gender minority rights have been neglected in the country, including in the activities of the human rights organizations. The project
 goal is to promote the respect for human rights and the reduction of discrimination against transgender people by human rights education and training. The project specific objectives are the awareness raising about the Hijras’ rights among human rights 
defenders and educators, as well as important reference groups;  to impact the surrounding community in such a way that it recognizes hijras human dignity; hijras empowerment of human rights through education and training so that they would advocate for th
eir rights . The project legal focus is the promotion of the rights of gender minorities. The primary beneficiaries of the project are the Hijra community members and their leaders whose status and social participation is expected to improve . The indirect
 beneficiaries are the parents of transgender people who get more information about hijras. The project is expected to benefit the wider community leaders, legislators, NGOs, teachers and doctors by raising awareness of gender minorities and their rights.

F.a: Organising and Better Working Conditions for Road Transport Sector The project strengthens the transport sector trade unions and their negotiating activities in Peru and Venezuela.The transport sectors in Peru and Venezuela are unregulated and relatively shattered into small companies.  The share of the informal economy i
s also significant in the sector. The biggest problems for the workers include very low salaries (often even under the minimum wage defined by law), inadequate social security, longer driving times than regulated by law (up to 16 hours) and dangerous worki
ng conditions. The deficiencies in working conditions threaten the lives of both the workers and other drivers and pedestrians. Furthermore, the drivers are often subject to physical violence. In addition, HIV infections have increased considerably among t
he drivers. The negotiating capacity of the labour organisations for the workers is weak in particular due to the company-specific organizational structure and the low rate of organization.By the end of the project, the membership rate of the transport sec
tor trade unions has risen, the negotiating practices have become more effective and union cooperation has strengthened. The participation of young and female workers in union activities has increased. In addition, the union leadership and the activists ha
ve received training.  The development of the unions towards a single sector-specific trade union has progressed in both countries.The project beneficiaries are the decision-makers, activists and members in the trade unions for the transport sector.The pro
ject is executed by the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and its affiliates in Peru and Venezuela.

F.a: Protection of children from gender based violence The project aims to improve protection mechanisms and community practices against female genital mutilation (FGM) and Child Marriage particularly in Amhara and Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples (SNNP) Regions. FGM and Child Marriage are among the 
most serious violations of children's right in Ethiopia; and they are the product of various forms and degrees of gender discrimination in Ethiopia that generally value boys more than girls. Victims of FGM suffer physically, and psychologically; and the he
alth consequences are severe. Child marriage often results in girls quitting school; and it also results in sexual abuse as victims are forced to start sexual relationship at an early age. Hence, the project contributes to the improvement of community, sch
ool and district level protection structures and mechanisms for the elimination of these harmful practices. The project also works towards improving knowledge and positive attitude of girls and boys towards equality of girls; and towards sensitizing the co
mmunity on the fight against FGM and child marriage. The project also supports the institutional and technical capacity of key district government offices to improve their response to cases of FGM and child marriage. Girls but also their families and the c
ommunities in the two districts (Fagtalekuma in Amhara and Bonazuria in SNNP) are the primary beneficiaries. A total of 20 kebeles (smallest administrative unit) are addressed in both districts. Professional Alliance for Development (PADet) and Kembatti Me
nti Gezima (KMG) are the implementing partners respectively, working in close partnership with the Bureau of women, children and youth (BoWCYA). Overall project implementation is led by Plan International Ethiopia.

FLC: RtO Expert Field Officer Model expansion to Central Province PYM: Rent to Own: myyntiedustaja- ja asiakastukiverkoston laajentaminen Sambian Keskiprovinssiin Currently Rent to Own Zambia Limited (RtO) focuses its business on the higher income farmers and shop owners to minimize the risk of default. However Rent-to-Own has seen potential for growth in the lower income farmers and shop owners but has not yet expl
ored this potential due to the high risks involved. Lower income clients are more vulnerable to changes in the market and the regular demands of life. To reach these clients a fundamental change to how the company operates will be required.  This shift is 
based on the key contact each client has with RtO. If the key contact the Field Officer is well trained on the specific type of business the client is operating then this Field Officer can provide in depth advice on how to succeed. The current model RtO Fi
eld Officers are operating with requires them to give advice on 7 different types of businesses and has proven to be limiting. 90% of RtO's sales come from just three products; irrigation pumps refrigeration and maize mills. Expand on the current agent net
work by hiring and training Field Officers to provide support to clients on how to succeed. This will be done for the top three selling products namely; maize mills irrigation pumps and refrigeration. Additional training will be provided on record keeping 
maintenance and marketing skills. This should allow an entirely new set of Clients to access RtO's services. This model will be trialled and implemented throughout the whole company. However in order to ring fence the FLC funding and be able to demonstrate
 the direct impact of the FLC funding it is our suggestion to use the FLC allocated funds for the development and implementation of this new model in Central province only. RtO uses cutting-edge communications technology to manage a widespread field operat
ion that is fast efficient and effective. A centralized cloud-based management system keeps each member of the Rent-to-Own team up to date with the latest information on their clients. RtO management team also gains access to instantaneously updated overvi
ews of their portfolio and operations. An automated SMS system also sends clients reminders and keeps them informed of the status of their applications.
