WEMAN GIZ Since 2008 Oxfam Novibs WEMAN  programme has been supporting the development of an innovative Gender Action Learning System (GALS), a community-led empowerment methodology to facilitate the integration of gender issues into livelihood approaches and rural value chain development. The aim was to develop an participatory approach that combines the business sense of gender equality with the human rights case. And equally important: to show that gender equality is grounded in the realities and demands of women and men in vulnerable communities, and cannot be dismissed as an imposition from donors and feminist organisations in the West.

In 2012 an evaluation identified the organisational support factors in the organisation implementing or spearheading the use of GALS as a critical success factor, which may not be widely reproduced in other settings. In monogamous married couples quick progress was found towards shared visions. Co-wives in polygamous marriages, single parents and widows progressed less rapidly, mainly due to the lack of assetsto underpin their visions. Also there was no evidence of shared visions in polygamous households.

A GALS pilot in Zimbabwe supported by GIZ from end of 2012 to early 2014 aims to address these issues from the evaluation by adapting the GALS methodology  for community-led transformation of gender norms and roles and organisational strengthening of rural (farmers) organisations. This will provide programmers and implementers with a concrete methodology with visual case material to integrate gender action learning in rural development / agricultural programmes.

Zimbabwe was selected based on interest and initiatives by FACHIG, a partner organisation ofOxfam Novib (The Farmers Association of Community self-Help Investment Groups). FACHIG consists of a structure of 1100 self help groups that are organised in 24 community self-help Investment Groups (CHIGs) across four districts. FACHIG focuses on entrepreneurship development, crops and small livestock, market and business training and financial services.

FACHIG identified the need for a new approach and strategy to transform gender norms and relations at individual, household and community levels, to strengthen collective action and the improvement of the position of both women and men in their livelihoods.
Linking Tax Reforms Nexus Essential Serv Fair taxation is a crucial and strategic issue in many developing countries that aim to reduce poverty through national resources mobilization. It is an admitted fact that the richest ten per cent of Pakistanis have accumulated colossal assets in the last three decades without paying due income tax. Exemptions of billions of rupees have been given to the rich and mighty through executive orders (SROs), whereby incidence of indirect taxes on the poor have increased#they have been forced to pay 17% sales tax on many items of daily use. The rich in Pakistan are either outside the tax net or do not pay personal taxes in accordance with their actual ability to pay. Those who control 90% of resources contribute less than 2% in total tax revenue. Pakistan is a tax heaven for the rich andmighty. The military complex, civil bureaucracy, higher judiciary, landed aristocracy and industrialist-turned politicians are enjoying all kinds of privileges and perquisites, tax-free and funded from taxpayers# money, borrowed funds and foreign grants. Present system serves the interests of the privileged classes#they represent only 1% of entire population but own 95% of national resources.Greater reliance on indirect taxes is directly contributing to rising poverty#the worst affected are the poor farmers and labour class. People who possess enormous income and wealth are not being subjected to income taxation in Pakistan (wealth tax and other progressive taxes like capital gain tax, gift tax and estate duty have been abolished to favour the rich) while main tax incidence is onthe middle and poor classes.
The rising level of poverty is due to many attributes and one direct link between growing poverty in Pakistan and income inequalities is due to distortion in tax base. The situation is further of grave concern not only owing to inequitable balance between indirect and direct taxes but also due to the regressive taxes which in fact underlies hidden direct taxes.
Main goal of the project is to contribute to regional campaign Evenitup in more effective way to build a national as well as regional momentum to generate discourse around inequality.
Results

Enhance Quality,Access to TVET Indus Resource Center ( IRC) started its field operations in Khairpur and Dadu districts in the year 2000. From the outset, partnerships with selected CBOs/NGOs were developed and efforts were made to enhance managerial and technical capacities of individuals andinstitutions. Education emerged as the most important programme followed by economic initiatives. Dialogues with partners identified these thematic areas but as the community development process moved ahead other themes such as rural physical infrastructure and disaster response were added.  Most of the partner Community Based Organization became implementation partners in schools, micro-credit, rural physical infrastructure and sustainable livelihood programs. Trainings were organized to build their institutional capacities and project implementation capacities so that they could become effective implementers. The project is designed specifically to meet the budgetary shortfall in TVET project; moreover some support cost will be given to partner for closing activities of project.The main activities of the project will be as follows:
# Counseling (Career+Business+Employment), Basic Courses in Learning Centersand Training

Action Aid NL -Tax Paradise Tax haven Netherlands has created a very favorable tax environment for multinational companies that settle in the Netherlands with a letterbox company in order to avoid tax. Legal, but morally reprehensible.

SRHR-E Program (Bangladesh / DOEL)-HASAB This is a five-year program, initially known as #DOEL#, implemented by five national level organizations i.e. BRAC, HASAB, FPAB, CAMPE and BNPS. The culture in Bangladesh is very conservative and sensitive about SRHR issues and does not allow open sharing of information on these issues. This #silence# prevents the people, particularly adolescents, to access to the information, supports and services which contribute to the persistence of high prevalence of early marriage and maternal-child mortality. The project seeks to break this #silence#. The objective of this project is to improve the sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) status of adolescents (60% girls) through creating increased access to information and services. The project adopts a comprehensive approach combining, campaigning, peer-education, teaching-learning approaches to achieve the program objectives. Initially, the project is covering twelve sub-districts of six (06) districts targeting to reach 45,000 grade 6 to 10 students and 300,000 out of School youths to educate them on SRHR as well as increase the awareness of at least 5% of the parents of adolescents on SRHR issues. The project also targets to mobilize 15 leading media journalists to advocate the SRHR issues as well as sensitize 50 potentially opposing political leaders, who are confronted with the Muslim teachings on SRHR and safe behaviour, and motivated to support formal and informal SRHR curricula. The program will be extended its coverage more upon receiving funding supports from external sources.

ENSURING COMMUNITYPARTICIPATION IN WATER GOVERNANCE IN THE LIMPOPO BASIN, IN MOZAMBIQUE
Over the last years, Mozambique has been affected by recurrent natural disasters, mostly by floods and drought. Due to its geographical location, the population living in the basins of the mainrivers are the most affected by disasters. Specifically, the population living in the Limpopo Basin which accommodates a total of 1,045,000 inhabitants, according the last population Census (National Statistics Bureau, 2007) has been frequently affected by these natural disasters. Although there are several national and regional legal frameworks and policies aimed at ensuring the participation of the affected populations in the water governance in that region, the practice has shown that there is limited participation of the population in the decision making process related to water in the Limpopo Basin, which, in turn, hinders the resilience and preparedness of the affected communities to climate change.

OUR SOLUTION (APPROACH)
The new Oxfam Country Strategy in Mozambique has #right to be heard# as the core in ensuring citizens´ participation and voice. Additionally, one of the 3 main pillars of the country strategy is sustainable livelihoods including access to land and water. Essentially, Oxfam´s approach is to facilitate citizens´ participation and voice of the affected populations in all relevant decisions which have impact on their lives. In short, our approach is inclusive and participatory water governance.

Oxfam Change
Oxfam will lead in changing its own attitudes and practices and in convincing others to do the same. We will do so by addressing the external environment of donors and the public, and our internal environment (staff, including management, and the systems of decision-making and funding).

GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

Goal # Community members and leaders in the Limpopo Basin are strengthened to participate in the decision making process related to water.

Objectives
The objectives of the project are three fold, namely:
1. Contribute to the effective implementation of legislation on water;
2. Ensure active participation of affected actors and structures in decision making process related to water;
3. Increase resilience of the communities in water component related to climate change.
