FR, Fair Finance Guide International This is part of the BankWiser project.

BankWiser International (BWI) is a project that organises and aims to create additional civil society capacity in 7 countries (Belgium, Brazil, France, Indonesia, Japan, Netherlands, and Sweden) to evaluate and monitor major commercial banks policies and practices, and to mobilize bank clients to request a more responsible banking sector. The project establishes a methodology for research and analysis of bank policies and practices, provides evidence-based support for critical dialogues with banks, and stimulates campaigning and agenda-setting on regulatory policies, social responsibility and development relevance of the main banks. The project builds on a pioneering model developed in the Netherlands since 2009, which was followed by a similar initiative in Brazil in 2012, both of which demonstrate leverage and potential for bringing about change.

BWI will fill the gap of a global and comparable standard for responsible banking, which is based on widely accepted international norms and conventions. It will unite various civil society interests covering the broad social and environmental issues which banks impact. The project is expected to lead to improvements in the CSR policies and practices of banks, more informed engagement by the public, and more awareness and debate about banks responsibilities toward society.
CO-506574 OGB through its back donor SoJersey has provided funds to support the Regional scale up of the Lake Chad Response. The Lake Chad crises emergency was initially a CAT 2 Emergency and was country based. With the increase in the humanitarian consequences with Nigeria having 7Miliion persons as affected excluding neigbouring countries of Niger, Chad and Cameroon, Oxfam decided to scale up the response to a Regional level CAT 1 response to improve response and reach. The funds is part of the Inter-Affiliate donation to supportthe scale up actions.

R4-Protection The protection intervention will adopt a twin-track approach of both safe programming and stand-alone protection activities.
Through engaging in safe programming, Oxfam will build the capacity of site managers to ensure they apply protection principles within camp management and design # thereby reducing the level of and exposure to risks and ensuring site-based activities are context and gender sensitive. This will complement MDM efforts to build the capacity of medical practitioners to prevent SGBV. We will also ensure all Oxfam and partner staff (incl. those engaged in WaSH, NFI and Food activities) are trained on the application of Protection Cluster Minimum Standards for Mainstreaming Protection and are able to adapt programming to ensure safe and equal access to Oxfam services.
The stand-alone protection activities are focused on ensuring increased access to services and information through multiple approaches. A strategic partnership with a local organization (ARSIS) will provide on-site access to services in Katsika and Filipiada, with a particular focus on psychological wellbeing and dignity through provision of a Wellbeing Space (including individual private consultation spaces for psychosocial care and individual counseling), a Women Safe Space (to enable women and girls to feel physically and emotionally safe) and a Recreational Space (to provide children with psychosocial first aid and enable access to services forparents who can leave their children in the care of social workers). A mobile team of psychologists and social workers will also reach smaller sites (Doliana and Konitsa). To enable access to services not provided by Oxfam, we will liaise with relevant actors (authorities and I/NGOs) to develop a Mapping of Services and StandardOperating Procedures (SOPs) for setting up and implementing a referral system for access to services (including those provided by INGOs and local public structures) for RaM in target sites. Partners and roving Oxfam Protection Officers (who speak the languages of the PoC) will facilitate self-referrals to ensure PoC have accessto services. They will also systematically identify vulnerable cases - such as pregnant women or disabled people - and facilitate their direct referral to services (for example, regular medical appointments). Oxfam will provide training to staff and partners to ensure effective implementation of the referral systems.
To increase access to 'impartial and reliable information', Oxfam ProtectionOfficers will conduct information sessions and provide accurate and reliable face-to-face information, especially targeting vulnerable individuals/groups. In addition, information materials will be developed and available in different languages and integrated into Oxfam activities, including NFI distributions. This would include providing laminated information cards containing key informationin the Dignity Kits.
Community Based Disaster Risk Management DRR initiative in district Bakhar, Punjab-Phase II:
Flood (Disasters) has become more complicated in last few years e.g floods 2010,2012 and 2014in south  Punjab are major examples. Climate change as under lying risk factor could increase the impacts offloods in Indus river systems and particularly in district Bhakkar. In terms of climate, Bhakkar district is hot in summer and cold in winter.District Bhakkar lies in a #Semi-arid irrigated plain# zone of Punjab, Pakistan. The mentioned facts are additional dimension to disasters in district Bhakkar.
In context of climate change situation in the region, the population, economy, livelihood and environment are highly vulnerable especially in disaster prone areas. Flood 2010 affected on Natural resources e.g underground water, Agri lands, crops, animals and infrastructure. During the disaster it has been observed that, lack of coordination among community, Government and NGO,s increase the vulnerability of flood prone community.
The basis reason for highvulnerability are, low resilience capacity. Recently, Doaba Foundation has completed the Project entitled#DRR in District Bhakkar#. During the course of the period it has been observed that, community and District Government took serious interest in project interventions. In meetings with DCO Bkakkar and Newly formed Community Forum meeting it was realised and observed that, keeping in view vulnerability of community there are stillrequired some interventions in the sector of DRR to bring improvement inresilience capacity of stakeholders
Women self help group and DRR PDAO actively encourages women to participate in the community based organization (CBO) by stressing the important role women can play in community decision making at community meetings, especially numbers community development affairs. PDAO approaches by targetsat least 40% women being as members of CBOs. PDAO encourages women to take a leadership role in CBOs and also encourages their membership of the village development committee (VDC) and the project management committee (PMC) system. We use femalerole models, employed by PDAO and from other projects, to help encourage women to participate.  Husbands and wives are both encouraged to participate in the project activities such as: general meetings, awareness campaigns, village development affairs, trainings, and other important events related to input delivery, passing on the gifts ceremonies, and the community forums.
The following criteria are used to support engagement of the most vulnerable groups (women, widows, people with disabilities, youth,and ethnic minorities):
# The most vulnerable groups are a priority for becoming direct project beneficiaries.  Once they begin to play a leadership role in the CBO theywill be encouraged to become members of a VDC or PMC,
# The most vulnerable groupswill be given the highest priority to participatein training or events such as, life skill trainings or special events such as national or regional workshop and exposure trips etc.
# The most vulnerable groups will be given highest priority to receivethematerial inputs from the projects.

OGB Nepal Earth Day Activities Earth Day Celebrations  Oxfam in Nepal
Oxfam in collaboration with Community Self Reliance Center put forward the tentative plan for the Land Rights Now celebration of Earth day 2017.  Celebration will be focused on local communities as well as in national level, and will contribute to the global mobilization planned in more than 22 countries under the banner of Land Rights Now around the theme: "On Earth Day 2017, stand with land rights heroes to fight climate change".

Objective (e.g. awareness raising; mobilization; influencing):
To influence policy makers, political parties and government to adhere the issue of land and climate change in upcominglocal election

Expected outcome
Policy makers, political parties and government will be aware onpertinent issues of land and climate change and will make it part of their local election agenda.

Does the mobilization contributes to influencing a specific policy process? If so, which one?
Oxfam and CSRC has been supporting Ministry of Land Reformand Management in drafting process of Land Use Bill. With this advocacy work Oxfam/CSRC have been trying to influence MoLRM to address rights of community over their local naturalresources.

Is a specific case of a specific community facing a specificchallenge you are highlighting?
Rather than focusing on specific community we have some multiple issues on impact of climate change on land.
1. Changing pattern of land and soil due to climate change
2. Rights of flood victims of southern plains who weredisplaced by flood three years ago and are still not resettled (we donot have specific case study but this issue has been one of the area of advocacy since then)
3. Changing climate and its direct impact on women farmers working on land.
PNDH Active Citizenship This is a project aimed at strengthening of the civil society organizations to facilitate legal support to all citizens in the realization of their humans rights at local and national levels. It is being implemented in Sofala Province but with some regional events and their activities have national impact. The project also deals with capacity building to local authorities, the so called "conselhos consultivos" which are the consultative councils, composed of government and community authorities on issuesrelated to governance, democracy,  human rights and decentralization, including community participation. The project is implemented with funding from SIDA.
Procasur Learning Route PROCASUR is a non-profit organization focused on knowledge management among people linked to development projects, associations, organizations and governments, who are interested in rural development and poverty eradication.

In 2012 a collaboration between PROCASUR and Oxfam Novib was established to conduct so called learning routes , Boosting the contribution of value chain development to gender justice and pro-poor wealth creation: the Gender Action Learning System (GALS) in parallel in Rwanda and Uganda  from the 24th of September to the 3rd of October 2012.

With support from IFAD, the use of GALS  for value chain development was piloted by Oxfam Novib with local organizations in Uganda. Capacity-building and empowerment of the poorest women and men and addressing gender issues are the essential strategies. Through GALS, constructive and sustainable engagement between chain actors was developed. The results of the pilot clearly show that chain efficiency, product quality, innovation and investment in markets can be negotiated in ways that remove gender discrimination, empower poor women and men and increase incomes.

The main objective of the learning route is to analyze and reflect on experiences with GALS as a gender transformative empowerment methodology at different stages of integration in livelihoods development interventions, in order to plan its further replication in value chains, at a larger scale or in other programmes.
Coffee Feasibility Study WWF, which was founded in 1961, works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to five million members globally. WWF#s mission is the conservation of nature. Using the best available scientific knowledge andadvancingthat knowledge where it can. WWF works to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth and the health of ecological systems by protecting natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, promoting sustainable approaches to theuse of renewable natural resources, and promoting more efficient use of resources and energy and the maximum reduction of pollution. WWF is committed to reversing the degradation of our planet#s natural environment, and to building a future in which human needs are met in harmony with nature.
Oxfam Novib and WWF Laos are currently engaged in a partnership around water governance and broader natural resources management in the Mekong Region, looking in particular at the synergies of livelihood improvement and conservation, with a focus on gender. As part of this partnership, a project is being considered that it would target the coffee processing industry and its impact on water and broader natural resources on the Bolaven plateau in the southern Laos inorder to obtain a more detailed picture of the issues. It is deemed necessary to conduct a specific environmental assessment of water use in the coffee industry on the Bolaven plateau, which can be potentially used as a baseline for future programming and actions.
The abundant rainfall and fertile soil makes the plateau very well suited to coffee production. Over 90% of the national crop (30,000 tons of green coffee beans) is produced in two districts (Paksong and Thatheng). Production is largely through smallholder, family owned plantations. In a country which remains heavily dependent of foreign aid, coffee makes an important contribution to the market economy. Coffee is Laos# largest agriculturalexport and there is a growing demand internationally for premium coffee products. Coffee is also an important livelihood and sourceof income, especially for women in rural communities.
Coffee wet-processing requires large volumes of clean water, and it is done during the dry season. The quality of water has adirect impact on the quality of the final product. The extraction of ground water (and potentially fresh water) is poorly regulated and the effluent from coffee processing is also highly polluting. It is estimated that 23 million liters of untreated coffee processing effluent flows into rivers on the Bolaven each year. Much of this is produced bysmallholders at the household or community level. There are also a growing number of larger local and foreign owned plantations andprocessing companies.
Championing Women, Peace and Security The Championing Women, Peace and Security project consists of a number of journalistic investigations on the influence Dutch citizens may have on important WPS themes. These studies form the basis for the master class, in which 16 young future leaders will be prepared for the implementation of the most exciting part of the project: 4 targeted public campaigns that reach a broad Dutch public and that should increase the knowledge and understanding of the WPS themes. We hope that a greater awareness and understanding of theWPS theme among the Dutch public, will have a positive influence on their perception of development and the role of women therein.
This project is financed from the WPS fund that was developed by the Global Link Department of Oxfam Novib.
The Championing Women, Peace and Security project aims to stimulate dialogue and development of ideas on Women, Peace and Security; to introduce these themes with both young so called "future leaders", development professionals and also the general public in various activities in order to:
1) investigate data and the complex issue of WPS and translate the results into attractive and insightful stories,
2) to make this unfamiliar material clear in an accessible way to most people , and
3) to provide a new dimension about the role of the Netherlands in the dialogue about WPS themes.

Conflict Transformation Programme This is one year program involving 5 Israeli civil society organizations and Oxfam Novib. The program is based on the joint conflict analysis conduted by Oxfam and its partners and allies to identify the key driving factors of the conflict and prioritizeactions that are strategic in addressing them. The consortium will work together to strengthen accountability for the violations of human rights and humanitarian law that governs the context of occupation. Consortium members will use Israeli legal systemand administrative justice mechanisms in Israel, undertake national and international influencing of key decision makers, engage with Israeli and international media and reach out to Israeli public in promoting international rule of law. In a democratic setting, Israeli civil society is vibrant and active in strengthening governance and holding its own government accountable to its actions violating the human rights of Palestinian civilians under its control. The consortium's feminist and women's rights partner will reach out  women ( acrossage and ethnicity) in Israel to create a public discourse, understanding and guidelines for action in support of peace and continuing militarization of the society. Consortium partners will work on planning and zoning regulations in the West Bank Area C; violencefaced by Palestinian civilians in Area C; and residency and social rights of Palestinians in East Jerusalem; and monitor the use ofarcheology in a manner that contravenes international law and norms.. Oxfam Novib will support the development and implementation of a monitoring and evaluation frameworkallowing the consortium to show how change happens with evidence. ON will also use its convening role to bring the consortium together to reflect on joint activities and processes that could strengthen the impact of our work.Too often organizations workin silos and this program seeks to bring like minded organisations to work together in a manner that could be cost-effective and increase the impact of our work.
