Coordinadora ONG para el desarollo On 17 August, 2012, EU confirmed that we had won a grant for Raising public awareness of development issues and promoting development education in the European Union. The grant is worth Euro 1 mill and will be implemented over the coming three years, beginning this fall. The consortium responsible for the grant consists of Oxfam Novib , NCDO , Jeden Swiat  and Coordinadora . Whereas the previous E-Motive was a Dutch-Southern affair this grant will expand the outreach of E-Motive to two other countries in Europe, Spain and Poland. In doing so, we want to take a bold step toward making E-Motive a truly European-Southern affair among three EU member states.
The overall objective of this EU grant is to further expand this new type of South/North cooperation based on equality and shared responsibilities, involving broader segments of society for awareness raising of the value of global civic-driven change. E-Motive encourages citizens to take it upon themselves to contribute to the transformation of an existing situation in their own locality. They do so either because the authorities are unable or unwilling to step in, or, as happens in most cases, because of the alreadyexisting wealth of local knowledge and initiative in the South that may address the encountered challenges more effectively. They thereby become Agents of Change.

E-Motive roll out in Spain. E-Motive has already proven its effectiveness within a Dutch context, demonstrating that the South has a lot to offer when it comes to civic driven change initiatives in local communities. It is now timeto roll out and adapt the concept further in Spain and expand the method for increased international impact and relevance within a European context.


Agents of change exchange South-North. Innovative civic driven change initiatives shared between agents of change from the South and the North and integrated into local community development programmes. Through South-North exchange of knowledgeand innovative ideas, agents of change become personally engaged and inspired to take it upon themselves to adapt and expand initiatives in their own context.

Social media to reach out. E-Motive believes that by using social media smarty, it can boost the spreadeffect of new ways of interactive citizen dialogue and civic driven change. Especially, the younger generation having grown up withsocial media such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook is best reached using this media. Youth, being the next generation, will also significantly shape the future public discourse on development assistance. Spain will also involved in this social media strategy.
Advocacy coalition support The Coalition Support Programme (CSP) aims to contribute to more accountable governance and to more progressive policy processes and impacts in Vietnam. CSP operates by identifying, fostering and supporting issue-based coalitions for effective advocacy within thepolicy making process. #Coalitions# in this context means multi-stakeholder cooperation among Vietnamese NGOs (VNGOs), state agencies at different levels, media, universities and research institutes, and the private sector. CSP expected to deliver the following outcomes: Improve policies, policy making and monitoring processes via (1) Functioning coalitions ready to act on issues of public concern through effective multi-stakeholder involvement in policy processes, and (2) Strengthening engagement of non-governmental organisations at national and sub-national levels to promote public participation and accountability in law-making and oversight agenda of the National Assembly.

Centre for community and environment (CECR) is a Vietnamese NGO that coordinate the Clean water coalition. Within this project CECR and coalition will do advocacy for 2 policy processes, these are including continuing to advocate the National Assembly to agree including the new law on water pollution control in the new NA legislation agenda period from 2016-2021, andthe second to monitor implementation of portions of the 2014 Environmental Protection Law relating to water pollution in 5 provinces / cities.

For the proposal of the law on water pollution control, the coalition will cooperate with VUSTA and Pollution control department of the Ministry of Natural resource and environment to conduct study and develop the proposal package, which will be used to advocate the ministry and National assembly. The evidence of water pollution and results from community monitoring to prevent andreduce the water pollution at the provincial level are not only good for the water quality at localities, but will also be used as evident for advocacy for the law.
Legal Reform and Women's Rights in Yemen The project activities focus upon research and advocacy work with regard to the following issues:
- Child marriage - Increasing local and international awareness of the harms of child marriage and concerted donor activity to curb child marriage. As result, the issues raised become more central on the agenda of international policy makers and the government of Yemen is encouraged to include a law to fix a minimum age for marriage.
- Legal protection for women - Monitoring of the proper implementation of the political transition plan after the Arab spring revolution in Yemen and promoting a robust participation of women in the two-year political transition process and adoption of measures to enhance gender equality in the reform process and the creation of stronger civil society coalitions that promote womens issues.
- Legislative and judicial reforms. The addition of an international human rights analysis to legislative and constitutional debates and building public and policy-maker consensus around the urgent need to bring existing laws, which restrict freedom of expression, association, and assembly, into line with international human rights standards. Yemeni policy-makers are sensitized to human rights violations in the justice sector and a public discussion will be promoted about the death penalty and stronger coalitions will be acting to abolish it. Also the new government will revise abusive laws that the former government used to stifle free expression, association, and assembly.
- Impunity of the security sector will be tackled by pressure to removerogue commanders and serious human rights violators from the national security forces and monitoring and speeding up  of the approval process of the Transitional Justice law.
FSN Safe Spaces Project Global The programme Creating Safe Spaces for Women and Girls in the MENA region (Safe Spaces), aims to create lasting transformational changes, by changing power relations, attitudes and beliefs of women and men and promoting gender equality. Safe Spaces is a multi-country programme with a regional component covering Egypt, Occupied Palestine Territories (OPT), Tunisia and Yemen (and possibly Morocco in the near future) that connect existing initiatives on VAWG. Building on diverse experiences, lessons learned, and scaling upour innovations, we want to ensure that women and girls in the MENA region are safe from violence. Oxfam and partners will jointly implement a strategy that combines strengthening CSOs, raising awareness and changing attitudes and beliefs of citizens (through edutainment), and mobilizing and empowering women and men to raise their voices at national and international levels (influencing).

In the Future Starts N Safe Spaces project, the TFSN funds will be used to provide crucial support to scale-up and do all preparationwork. The focus will be on our key interventions influencing and positivily changing attitudes and beliefs of women and men.
Active Citizen Participation-DG SOTU is a coalition of civil society organizations whose aim is to advocate and monitor the implementation of the African Union Standards , Treaties and decisions. SOTU has prioritised 14 key AU instruments on Democratic Governance, Economic Social Rights, Civil and Political rights. RADDHO is the lead SOTU partner in Senegal implementing this project at the country level. It's major contribution is informing and empowering citizens to demand for their rights and freedoms; by lobbying and advocating for ratification, implementation and monitoring of these key AU standards and mobilizing civil societies and coalitions to popularise  engage and hold their governments accountable.
Women to Watch - Be the next Politician. Women to Watch is a new organisation/network (established in November 2013), although they worked as a Project since 2007.

The small contribution is towards a strategic planning meeting  mid June where they will develop a clear strategic plan (and budget) for 24months campaign called "Be the Next Young Women Politician".At the same time the workshop serves as a capacity building activity for 60 young aspiring women who might want to run for political office.

On the basis of the outcome of the strategic meeting and/or campaign design we might fund them again if our budget permits this.

Results/successes in the past have been: the hosting of the Young Women African Summit, the Women's Monthly Speakers Series, The Young Women's March and the Young Women's Campaign.
Womens Bodily Integrity in OPT The Women#s Bodily Integrity Program with 4 women#s rights organizations in the OPT along with Oxfam Novib seeks to reduce the social acceptance of violence against women and create conditions for women and girls to exercise their human rights, especially their sexual and reproductive rights. Gender based violence including violence against women and girls is widespread rooted in the women#s subordinate position in the society and a belief system that denies women their agency. The program brings together two interventionstrategies by combining work on sexual and reproductive health rights with work on women#s rights under the law such as legal aid and legal reform to provide a comprehensive response to the challenge posed by GBV. Women's Affairs Centerin Gaza will organize awareness raising sessions with university students, young girls, women from the community on sexual and reproductive health rights, women's rights in general and open up spaces to understand and interrogate norms of masculinity andfemininity. WAC will also produce radio programs, photo exhibitions, produce knowledge material targeting young men and women on gender roles, sexual and reproductive rights and campaigns to draw attention to GBV as a problematic issue. The key message of the public facing campaigns would be to challenge the 'normalization' of gender based violence in the society.

Pastoral and Argo-pastoral Economy This project aims to improve the livelihood opportunities, resilience and food security of rural communities (men, women and children) in the Hamas, Ilo-Durgah, Dafar and Shumuhshumuh locations in Sanaag region, of estimated 350 HHs (Est. 2,100 persons) through adoption of more productive and sustainable resource management practices that are technically feasible and socio-economically viableby the end of the project lifecycle in 2014.
Country Office 505233 HUB, NIAMEY, NIGER The Islamist sect Boko Haram (BH) has been fighting a deadly insurgency in northern Nigeria for several years.The recent BH attacksagainst civil populations and Nigerian army led to the migration of people  towards Chad and Niger territory, mainly in the villages along the Komadougou River and Lake Chad Islands (Diffa region).The situation presented by the Niger government on December 16th, 2014 reported 96,019 refugees and returnees who arrived in Diffa region and are currently settled in 88 sites. However the situationis evolving with projection of 150,000 displaced when the census will be completed in the coming weeks or months and with more people fleeing unsafe zones in north-eastern Nigeria.
The security situation has deteriorated in recent months and BH still continues occupying some areas along the border between Diffa and Borno State.
There are also threats from BH to attack others localities in thecoming days and weeks.

The main site which received most returnees and refugees are Bosso with approximately 70,000, persons and Gagamari with approximately 15,000. The part of returnees (Niger citizens who used to live in Nigeria) is estimated 30%.
The main activities in Diffa region are livestock (more than 60%), agriculture and fishing.
The 2014 agro pastoral campaign resulted in a 53% ofdeficit of agricultural production making 156,480 vulnerable persons and the fodder deficit has been estimated at 1.8 million TMS  (corresponding to 62% of animals needs of the region). In addition the usual annual movement of about 28% of the herd observed from Niger to Nigeria (border transhumance) is being stopped while thousands of animals cross the border from Nigeria to Diffa Region because of the insecurity in northern Nigeria. In the other hand, animals that usually transit to Nigeria via Chad are obliged to crossDiffa and Zinder Regions before landing to Nigeria. These situations accentuate pressure on the already non sufficient pasture.

Sweet pepper farming and fishing that once were thriving are seriously undermined because of the lack of access to rivers in some areas and the limitation of commercial transactions.

Commercial activities between Diffa region and Nigeria are compromised because of insecurity, which significantly hinders the local economy heavily dependent on cross-border trade.

The lack of clean  water supply and sanitation, and the contaminated  Komadougou Yobe River has caused cholera outbreaks. The Ministry of Health reported a cholera outbreak in the Diffa region on December 13, 2014 and a total of 228 cases including 13 deaths were recorded on 22 December 2014.
The pressing needs of the displaced and host populations are reported in the next section

Promoting Women's Comm Participat in Gov The project emerged from the activities of Kebetkache#s core of democracy monitors in Ibeno LGA as well as meetings of Kebetkache#ssecurity and advocacy committees in Akwa Ibom state. The democracy monitors are not only involved in budget and election monitoring, but also monitoring the situation of women as regards participation in governance processes and interaction between the grassrootscommunity members and elected representatives, government officials, corporations and development agencies and conditions of women in rural communities.
Deliberations during the meetings of Kebetkache#s security and advocacy committees in April 2015 revealed thatthere is need to empower women economically to make them more assertive in family and the community levels.  It was also resolved that members of the advocacy and security committees should be trained on governance to enable them on governance processes towards 2019 political process. This also should be closely followed by intense community conscientiousness on civic responsibilities, which will enhance women action towards increased political participation. A quick action was taken by identifying Igwo-Okpom Opulom as a pilot community in Ibeno LGA; riverine, oil producing area to assess how governance isimpact on the people, particularly the women. A needs assess was therefore conducted in Ibeno through FGD with women, May 6, 2015; interviews with Key informants on May 6, 2015; transect walk and public meeting with community members/leaders on Monday, May 11, 2015 as well as social mapping which was done by the women between May 6 and May 9, 2015.

These activities revealed that governance processes have not impacted on the community as challenges of poor economic status of women; livelihood issues; lack of health care facilities and lack of access to clean drinking water were identified. It was resolved that to address these issues women should engage with elected ward councillors, supervisory councilor for health, Director of Health; Public Affairs Manager of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited and also engage with the media through a radio discussion.
This project will build on the Kebetkache#s previous project on promoting increased participation of women in politics, where community women were trained as democracy monitors to monitor governance processes in their constituencies. Kebetkache sees women participation in politics beyond voting in elections and/or being voted for but having the capacity to engage with authorities to assert their rights and demand for justice. This requires continuous building and strengthening of capacity. The project adopts recommendations of the Security and advocacy committees to conduct more capacity building training, address livelihoodissues through skills training and begin community sensitization on voter education towards the 2019 elections
CLIMATE CHANGE CAP BLDING FOR WIN PACJA A continental coalition of Civil Society Organizations from diverse backgrounds in African, the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance has emerged as the most vibrant and largest Civil Society platform on climate change and sustainable development. With a membership of more than 500 organisations and networks, the Alliance brings together Faith-based Organisations, farmers and pastoralists groups, Community-based Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations, among other sectors with a common goal of promoting and advocating for Pro-poor, climate-friendly and equity-based responses to climate change.
PACJA aims at unifying and coordinating isolated civil society efforts on climate change advocacy in Africa, seek to mainstream climate change into national poverty reduction and sustainable development strategies and actions.
Due to the expansion of the Alliance, a strategic planning meeting held in September 2012 recommended that CSOs in various countries congregate themselves into national platforms that subsequently are represented at continental level by one representative. This was ratified during the General Assembly held in February 2013, which reaffirmed the Alliance#s resolve to strengthen national platforms to ease coordination and act as central pillars of PACJA at national level. A single national network or trans boundary sectoral network where they exist may represent hundreds of other members.
The strategy seeks to deliver four key results: Sufficiently improved capacity and efficiency in the attainment of the mission, vision and objectives of theorganization; Pro-poor climate change response policies and strategies taken on board at National and Regional levels; Equitable, people-centred and ambitious international climate policies/strategies responsive to African realities and concerns realised; Enhanced and positive media coverage of Africa climate change issues attained as to ensure that pro-poor and people-centred response measures are given attention as governments in Africa
