KEDV: women-led renewable energy In Turkey, 28 renewable energy cooperatives have been established since 2013. Within these 28 cooperatives only one of them has concluded its investment and started to produce electricity out of solar energy. It is a big move but there is still long way to go. Inthese 28 cooperatives male partners are predominant.  At this point, it is very important to encourage women#s participation in renewable energy cooperatives and increase the impact of women#s in renewable energy transition in Turkey. This project developed jointly by Foundation for the Support of Women#s Work (KEDV) in Turkey aims to develop a community organizing model around renewable energy with the leadership of women to supply the community#s energy need and create income from the external power they produce. This contribution will be used for a feasibility study. The report will include selection of project locations for a project on women-led renewable energy investments.

Review of secondary literature indicates that the issue of child marriage is multilayered, spanning socio-cultural, religious, economic and legal dimensions. Any effective measures to address it, therefore, need to be multi-pronged confronting these various dimensions. Moreover, social norms and values, including honour and tradition, are major factors that play a role in early marriage. Therefore, interventions need to be comprehensive, with multiple entry-points, and, moreover, be firmly rooted with the local context. It is for this reason that the MTBA in Pakistan emphasises creating awareness and promoting harmful norms change whilst contributing to a more egalitarian and safe environment for adolescent girls. The MTBA will sensitise and build the capacity of youth to claim their rights and to protect themselves from child marriage.

The project is aimed ataddressing the issue of child marriages through multi-pronged strategies. Its planned outcomes are:
Outcome 1:  Young people are better informed about SRHR, including adverse effects of child marriage and empowered to voice their needs and rights
Outcome 2: Increased access to formal education for  girls at risk of and affected by child marriage
Outcome 3: Increased access to economic opportunities for girls at risk of and affected by child marriage, and their families
Outcome 4: Increased access to child protection systems for girls at risk of and affected by child marriage
Outcome 5: Increased utilization of SRHR services that are responsive to the needs of young people, particular girls at risk of-, and affected by child marriage

HO-ELNHA Oxfam Novib The global humanitarian system is overstretched; unable to meet rising needs of crisis affected countries, and providing assistancethat is often insufficient, inappropriate and late. There is growing support for a shift of power and resources to local actors. Local actors are the first responders when crisis hits and know the local context better than internationals, and yet receive a tiny fraction of international aid.

This program sets out to turn this system on its head and allow vulnerable peoplein disaster prone countries to benefit from better humanitarian response. We have chosen to focus on Bangladesh and Uganda, two countries acutely at risk from humanitarian crises. The frequency and impact of disasters in both countries is being exacerbated by climate change.

To achieve this transformation, Oxfam will strengthen the capacity of local humanitarian actors, so that they can lead humanitarian action in their countries. We will also give them the space to create a strong domestic humanitarian agenda, by giving them the opportunityto design and implement quality humanitarian programs. The program will also influence other international NGOs and donors to contribute to this systemic change.

Advocating for the Law on Property Tax Property tax is applied by many countries in the world because of its visibility and often publicly available as tax assets. However, property tax forms such as land and housing tax, agricultural land use tax, land rent, water fees and registration fees ... account for just 0.7% of the Vietnamese total local budget with many restrictions. For example, progressiveness of the tax system is being eroded while budget deficits are becoming commonly. The system of research and advisory agencies serving the National Assembly in legislative, supervisory and decision on important issues is not strong and very few National Assembly deputies have expertise in finance and budget.
The project "Advocating for the Law on Property Tax towards the Fair, Equitable and Effective Tax Law" is proposedincluding the following main activities: conducting research on the application of property tax in Vietnam and policy recommendations; organizing consultative workshops for National Assembly deputies and officials of the Finance Department; organizing communication consultations; strengthening the network of activists on property tax law.
The lead agency for the project is the Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR), with the close involvement of other members of the Fair Tax Association and BTAP. The Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR) proposed the implementation of the Law on Property Taxation to
      1. Enhance progressiveness of the tax system and increase budget resources for social welfare programs, health,      education
      2. Reduce the hot growth rate and real estate bubble
      3. Stabilize the macro economy and creating conditions for the country's economic development
Project Outcomes
      1. Build Vietnam's tax system fairly, transparently, and efficiently
      2. Raise awareness of public finance issues
      3. Improve CSOs and state budget to implement social welfare, health, and education programs.

This project aims to lobby and advocate the Asian Development Bank (ADB), financial institutions and private sector to develop an inclusive strategy that takes into account issues of LGBTQI people and fulfil the promiseof LeavingNo-One Behind as it is formulated in the SDGs for the Asia and Pacific region.
ADB is a social development organisation that is dedicated to reducing poverty in Asia and the Pacific through inclusive economic empowerment and regional integration through investments # in the form of loans, grants and information sharing # in infrastructure, health care services, financial and public administration systems. Thus far, however, it has a non-inclusive approach to LGBTQI people.
APCOM works with partners in Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Lao PDR to break the driving stigma that excludes LGBTQI people in accessing markets, essential services and space. APCOM follows the World Bank model and strategy by focusing on three key areas: 1. improving the inclusion of Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression (SOGIE) in the ADB#s overall work through trainings 2. data collection on the developments and inclusion of LGBTQI people; and 3. stimulating pilot projects to improve access of LGBTQI people to markets, services, and spaces.
