F.a: Strengthening of CSO Network on Mangrove Conservation in Indonesia This project strengthens the JANGKAR network of NGOs (established in 2016) on mangrove forest protection and sustainable use, and supports its planning, campaigning and publication work. This project will enlarge the action of the network, improve the exch
ange of information among operators and effects on policy makers and other stakeholders for acknowledging the importance of mangrove and for stopping the rapid destruction of mangrove forests. So far the mangrove forests havent get adequate attention from 
the government of Indonesia, when the concentration has been on the commercial utilization of mangrove. This project aims also to collect information and to draw more general view about the amount of mangrove forest still existing in Indonesia, since the e
stimations made by ministries and other operator varies widely.  Additionally, this project will support a local working group in east Kalimantar to examine the situation of the mangrove forests in Balikbapan Bay, and the communities that are dependent on 
these forests. The goal is to influence on local policy makers to enable the protection and sustainable use of mangrove.  The key results of the project are different publications, bulletins and a map about East Kalimantan mangrove ecosystem. Expected impa
cts are the growing engagement of local government to conserve mangrove, to enable the protection of mangrove in East Kalimantar, as well as strengthening the capacity and campaign work of JANKGAR network. Along with the members of the network, the central
 stakeholders are ministries  of  forestry and marine, local governments, indigenous people that are depend on mangrove forests and other local communities/ minor fisheries and the corporations that are threatening the preservation of mangrove forests (suc
h as coal mining, pulp and oil plantations, industrial fishing and crab farming and ship transport). http://fwi.or.id
Support to the programme of work of the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes Tuki UNECE:n rajavesisopimuksen työohjelmalle The Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (1992) creates a framework for regional transboundary water cooperation. UNECE Water Convention aims to protect and ensure the quantity quality and sustainable u
se of transboundary water resources by facilitating cooperation. The Convention reduces conflicts and enhances security. It prevents and reduces pollution with transboundary impact. Initially negotiated as a regional instrument it turned into a universally
 available legal framework for transboundary water cooperation following the entry into force of amendments in 2013 opening it to all UN Member States. Tshad's accession to the Convention occurred in February 2018 and several other ODA eligible countries a
re interested in ratifying the Convention. Finland has an active role in global transboundary cooperation. Finland has co-operated with the UNECE Water Convention Secretariat on policy issues and the MFA is currently financing UNECE water projects in Centr
al Asia. Finland (SYKE) is represented in the Water Convention Bureau as well as the most important working groups. The proposed support to the UNECE Water Convention Programme of work for 2016-18 will be directed to the areas of work with Finland as a lea
d party. These include the opening of the Convention promotion and partnerships and water-food-energy-ecosystems -nexus in transboundary basins.It is proposed that the MFA will support the UNECE Water Convention Programme of work for 2016-18 with the amoun
t of 100 000 euro in 2018. YK:n alaisen Euroopan talouskomission (UNECE) rajavesisopimus (1992) luo puitteet alueelliselle rajavesistöyhteistyölle. UNECE:n yleissopimus edistää merkittävällä tavalla rajavesistöjen oikeudenmukaista käyttöä suojelua ja yhteistyötä sopimus
puolten kesken. Sopimus vähentää konflikteja lisää turvallisuutta sekä edistää vesivarojen kestävää käyttöä. Sopimus ehkäisee ja vähentää sellaista vesien pilaantumista jonka vaikutukset ulottuvat maasta toiseen. Myös UNECE:n ulkopuolise
t YK-maat voivat liittyä sopimukseen vuonna 2013 voimaan astuneen sopimusmuutoksen ansiosta ja useat ODA-kelpoiset maat ovat kiinnostuneita liittymään sopimukseen. Ensimmäiset UNECE-alueen ulkopuoliset maa Tshad ja Senegal liittyivät sopimukseen 2018.
 Sopimuksella on näin ollen maailmanlaajuista merkitystä rajavesiyhteistyön edistäjänä. Suomi on aktiivinen toimija globaalissa rajavesiyhteistyössä. Suomi on tehnyt pitkään politiikkatason yhteistyötä UNECE:n rajavesisopimuksen sihteeristön k
anssa minkä lisäksi UM on rahoittanut UNECE:n rajavesihankkeita Keski-Aasiassa. Suomi (SYKE) on edustettuna rajavesisopimuksen byroossa sekä keskeisissä työryhmissä. Esitettävä tuki UNECE:n rajavesisopimuksen työohjelmalle 2019-2021 kohdistuu työ
ohjelman toimeenpanoon kokonaisuudessaan.
Strengthening the Agenda 2030 implementation and multilateral development cooperation Agenda 2030 toimeenpanon monenvälisen kehityspolitiikan tuki Finlands development policy and development cooperation are guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development endorsed within the UN. Nearly all of Finlands development cooperation partner countries count among the least developed countries (LDCs) who 
have the greatest need for international support. The Ecosoc monitoring process and related mechanisms regarding the Agenda 2030 implementation are also in transition. Influencing and participating the midterm review of the implementation of the Programme 
of Action for LDCs process and Ecosoc Agenda 2030 process are integral part of UN development issues. The funds will enable the unit and MFA experts to adequately  participate in this work and the corresponding international meetings together with the like
 minded countries i.e. cover the travel expenses when these expenses are not covered by the organizing/inviting party. Suomen kehityspoliittinen toimintaohjelma 2016 on sovitettu Agenda 2030 mukaiseksi. Tältä pohjalta Suomi sopeuttaa myös kehityspolitiikkansa tukemaan kehitysmaiden kykyä saavuttaa kestävän kehityksen tavoitteet. Uuden linjauksen mukaisesti Suomen tuk
i painottuu aiempaa vahvemmin vähiten kehittyneiden maihin. Suomi osallistuu suurlähettilästasolla vähiten kehittyneiden maiden toimintaohjelman väliarviointiprosessiin ml. vähiten kehittyneiden maiden ja ystäväryhmän konsultatiivinen kokous sekä
 välitarkastelua ja loppuasiakirjaa koskevat valmistelukokoukset. Myös ECOSOCin alainen Agendan seurantaprosessi ja siihen liittyvät mekanismit ovat siirtymävaiheessa. Seurantaprosessiin vaikuttaminen ja siihen osallistuminen on erityisen tärkeää ot
taen huomioon Suomen aktiivinen rooli kansallisessa raportoinnissa. Esitetty hanketuki kohdistuu kehityspoliittisten tehtävien hoitamiseen ja yksikön monenkeskiseen vaikuttamistyöhön. Hankerahoituksesta on tarkoitus kattaa mm. ko. kysymyksiä hoitavien
 virkamiesten matkakuluja siltä osin kun niitä ei saada katettua kutsuvien tahojen toimesta ja näihin kysymyksiin liittyvien tilaisuuksien järjestelykuluja sekä muita mahdollisia vaikuttamistoimintaan liittyviä kuluja kun ne ovat ODA-kelpoisia.
Funding of the Sponsor Funded Staff Programme of Asian Development Bank Rahoitus Aasian kehityspankin Sponsor Funded Staff Programmelle With this intervention the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland funds the Sponsor Funded Staff Programme of the Asian Development Bank. The funds cover the secondment of two FInnish experts for two years in the Asian Development Bank. One of the experts
 will be placed in the bank's headquarters in Manila as an education expert and the other in the VIetnam country office as a private sector development expert. Other positions may be funded based on the needs of the AsDB and the funding available.The speci
alist stationed in Manila will support the Bank in its work in the education sector with a focus on education in the innovation and STEM (science technology engineering and mathematics). There is one common theme for Finland's influencing work in developme
nt banks: enhancing education. Education is viewed as one of the primary objectives to ridge the growing income gap in Asia. The private sector development specialist will promote greater private sector participation in ADBs Viet Nam country operations. Th
rough the IPP programme that is closing in 2018 Finland has gained in Vietnam a good standing as well as results in the innovation sector and the start up ecosystem both with the authorities as well as in the start up communities and big cities and univers
ities. The cooperation is strongly forward-looking and beneficial to Vietnam. It is envisioned that the sponsoring of the specialist will support the continuity of the cooperation. Tällä hankkeella ulkoministeriö rahoittaa Aasian kehityspankin Sponsor Funded Staff Programmea. Myönnettävällä rahoituksella katetaan kahden suomalaisen asiantuntijan sijoittaminen Aasian kehityspankkiin. Aiemmalla varainmyöntöpäätöksellä raho
itetaan kaksi vuotta tällä lisämyönnöllä kolmas vuosi. Yksi asiantuntijoista sijoittuu pankin pääkonttoriin Manilaan koulutussektorin asiantuntijaksi ja toinen pankin maatoimistoon Vietnamissa yksityisen sektorin kehityksen asiantuntijaksi. Muita a
siantuntijoita saatetaan rahoittaa tarpeen ja rahoituksen saatavuuden mukaan.Manilaan sijoittettava asiantuntija tukee kehtiyspankin työtä opetussektorilla keskittyen innovaatio- ja tiede- ja teknologiasektorin ja matemaattisten aineiden koulutukseen. Su
omen vaikuttamistyölle kehityspankeissa on määritelty yksi yhteinen teema: koulutuksen vahvistaminen.  Koulutus nähdään yhdeksi ensisijaisista keinoista kasvavien tuloerojen umpeen kuromiseen Aasiassa. Yksityisen sektorin kehitykseen keskittyvä asia
ntuntija edistää yksityisen sektorin suurempaa osallistumista ADB:n toimintaan Vietnamissa. Suomi on Vietnamissa vuonna 2018 päättymässä olevan IPP-ohjelman ansiosta ja vedolla saanut hyvää jalansijaa ja tuloksia innovaatiosektorilla ja start-up ym
päristössä niin viranomaistahoihin kuin itse start-up yhteisöön ja suuriin kaupunkeihin sekä yliopistoihin. Asiantuntijan rahoituksella tuetaan toiminnan jatkuvuutta.
