YK:n vammaisia henkilöitä koskevan yleissopimuksen ratifiointiin liittyviä kysymyksiä sekä parannettiin virkamiesten ja väestön oikeustietoutta. Keskeisiä hyödynsaajia ovat olleet syrjäseutujen haavoittuvat ryhmät kuten maaseudulla asuvat naiset
 ja vammaiset joiden tietoisuus omista oikeuksistaan ja pääsy oikeuspalvelujen piiriin on usein heikkoa. Vaiheessa II jatketaan aiemman vaiheen työtä ja keskeisenä tavoitteena on turvata ilmaisen oikeusapujärjestelmän kestävyys Suomen rahoituksen p
äättyessä. Oikeusministeriön alaisuuteen perustetaan oikeusapua koordinoiva kansallinen keskus jonka henkilöstöä koulutetaan ja laatustandardeja kehitetään. Kansalaisyhteiskuntaa ja mediaa koulutetaan ja informoidaan kansalaisten oikeuksiin liitty
vissä kysymyksistä ja velvoitteista. Hankkeen budjetti on 17 milj. euroa v. 2018-21.
Geological Survey of Finland's support to AGS Geologian tutkimuskeskuksen (GTK) tuki AGS:lle Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) has strengthen during a five years training programme the capabilities of the Afghanistan Geological Survey (AGS) in the prospecting for ore. It has been estimated that Afghanistan has very large potential mineral resourc
es. The exploitation of these resources in the future would increase the economic growth and positively support the development of the society.The four years future cooperation aims to further improve AGS?s capabilities and technics in the mining sector ba
sed on good foundation and relations which were built during the last five years. Afganistanin potentiaaliset mineraalivarat on arvioitu huomattavan suuriksi. Niiden hyödyntäminen tulevaisuudessa mahdollistaisi Afganistanin talouden ja sitä kautta yhteiskunnan suotuisan kehityksen. Geologian tutkimuskeskus (GTK) on vahvistanut viisiv
uotisessa koulutushankkeessa Afganistanin vastaavan viranomaisen AGS:n (Afghanistan Geological Survey) kapasiteettia malminetsinnässä. Hankkeen aikana GTK koulutti AGS:n geologeja monipuolisesti geofysiikan eri osa-alueilla.Nelivuotisen jatkohankkeen tar
koituksena on edelleen kehittää Afganistanin kaivossektorin toimintamahdollisuuksia ja -menetelmiä nojaamalla aiempien vuosien aikana rakennettuun hyvään perustaan ja yhteistyösuhteisiin. Suunniteltu budjetti on 12 miljoonaa euroa.Tavoitteena on erit
yisesti tiivistää yhteistyötä viranomaistenyksityissektorin ja oppilaitosten välillä. Pitkän aikavälin tavoitteena on tukea klusteriajatteluun perustuvaa mallia edellä mainittujen tahojen välillä ja kehittää AGS:ää niin että se pystyy nykyi
stä paremmin palvelemaan kaivosministeriötä maan mineraaliresurssien hallinnoimisessa.
F.a: Libya: Supporting Dialogue Platforms in Libya Since the fall of the Gaddafi regime, Libya has become a “stateless state”. Libya’s political actors have failed to establish a new inclusive political order, including to form a unified state controlled army. Instead, Libya is witnessing a severe fr
agmentation of power and political polarization, coupled with a proliferation of armed groups. Political divides are shaped by regional, ideological, economic and societal cleavages. Elites that prospered under the Gaddafi regime and new post-revolutionary
 elites contest political power and resources. The project provides actors from across the political spectrum an opportunity to engage in informal dialogue on critical yet highly contested transition issues and develop joint solutions to them. The inclusiv
e platforms for dialogue are particularly important if some of the key groups reject participation in or are side-lined from formal transition processes. The absence of spaces for encounter and communication often serve to deepen mistrust and misperception
s. In reverse, sustained, inclusive dialogue can help to enhance trust and help to overcome the persisting divisions between the political/social groups. Through their engagement in an informal setting, the participants demonstrate that, despite deep divis
ions, dialogue among all key actors is possible and can bring significant benefits to the political process. Through national and local level informal dialogues, the project enables stakeholders to develop consensual policy recommendations related to key t
ransitional issues in Libya. The underlying assumption is that for the political transition to proceed peacefully, the post-Jamahiriya Libya needs inclusive dialogue platforms engaging relevant stakeholders in Libya’s key geographical areas. Given the fr
agmentation of power centres, Libya’s new social contract will be formed through an incremental process of stabilization at the regional level through power consolidation and mutual understanding at the local level, leading into a formula for a national 
level unified governance mechanism.

F.a: Community Forest Governance The project is a continuation of the previous one dealing with the implementation of the Forest Rights Act 2006. During the previous phase the central activities were the preparation and submission of the forest rights claim forms. The present project will
 be a continuation of the same with additionally more focused programmes on different aspects of Community Forest Governance (CFG), emphasizing on popular assertion of forest rights with or without the Title of Community Forest Rights (CFR). This phase wil
l include both vigorous efforts to submit CFR claim forms on the one hand, and up gradation of the ongoing CFG efforts by including two new ingredients, namely, access to potential government funding for the CFG and marketing of Minor Forest Produces (MFPs
) on the other. The Rule 16 of the FRA directs all the state government departments to fund the CFG but there has not been much progress in making any funds available for the purpose. In the marketing of the MFPs there are legal obstacles that should have 
been removed when FRA 2006 came into being but they are still prevailing. The gathering and marketing of forest produces and value addition to the products will be supported by promotion of women´s cooperative, among other things. Environmental awareness 
building among the youth will be continued, too. The primary focus of the project will be the same 200 villages that were focussed during the previous project phase. However, more and more villages are becoming eager to join the JJBA efforts, and some of t
hem may be taken up as an addition to the existing villages. Networking at the Jharkhand state and all India level with other relevant movements and groups in the field of CFG will be emphasized very strongly, like engagement with the state government for 
speedier implementation of the FRA. www.birsa.in
F.a: Advancing Sustainable Peace in Myanmar Civil society’s engagement in the comprehensive process of Peace and Conflict is vital in dealing with 65-years of entrenched mistrust and fear – to move the country forward through reconciliation and a more sustainable peace. While Myanmar’s peace p
rocess is expected to advance and building on a positive trend, hopefully strengthened by a positive outcome of the Elections and Ceasefire agreement in 2015, civil society engagement will be crucial to stress as there are few practical entry points – le
aving a large part of the population concerned and skeptical of the process and its outcomes. The Main Objective: This project aims to address on-going violence in Rakhine and Kachin State by accompanying and establishing local peacebuilders to develop ini
tiatives at local/community level for rights-holders and duty-bearers. Expected Results: • Local peacebuilders and an increasing number of communities have a better understanding of the complex conflict dynamics in Rakhine and Kachin States • Increased
 engagement and interaction of local actors (government, NGOs, CSOs) in the peace process through increased skills in handling the sensitive issues among participants and building platforms for reconciliation• Peace and Conflict issues are an integral pa
rt of and reflected upon in development issues and the governing agenda for local communities• CSO’s play an increasingly important role in P+C issues and represent their constituency better Rights-holders/beneficiaries: groups of local peacebuilders (
different faiths and women representatives) and CSO organisations; increased cooperation with local government as a duty-bearer.Implementing partner:The Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPCS) is a Cambodia-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) wo
rking in the field of peace building and conflict transformation in Asia. Its’ mission is to strengthen strategic interventions into armed conflict with the overall goal of reaching sustainable and positive peace in the Asia region. CPCS is home to a ran
ge of interconnected programmes and initiatives that are informed by on-going analysis and consultation with a myriad of local partners from the various contexts in which CPCS works, including Myanmar, the Philippines, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
F.a: Early Childhood Care and Development Project supports quality early learning and development of children at home and community settings and co-operates with government authorities in order to improved legislation and resources for early childhood care and development (ECCD). Timor-Leste is th

F.a: Strengthening Indian Forest Communities' Struggles for Forest Commons #The project will continue and build upon the work of All India Forum of Forest Movements (AIFFM) that was supported by Siemenpuu-Kansalaisliikkeiden yhteistyösäätiö sr during 2013—2014 (12046AAS + 13038AAS). The struggle for reclaiming and defending
 forest commons will be supported by centering on efforts to establish suitable commons governance institutions at the grassroots, and developing suitable political and organizational strategies at state, national and international levels. The main benefic
iaries will be forest dwelling communities organized under various Gram Sabhas. The focus areas will be in the states of West Bengal, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Telangana, where the work will be done in association with AIFFM constituent groups
 and other local groups.The activities include holding at least three All-India level and five state/sub-national level meetings, formulating political/organizational strategy documents and disseminating them, generating campaign materials, visiting variou
s Gram Sabhas to facilitate the work of the movements, and providing financial support and information/knowledge to local movements.The activities will largely focus on increasing the spread of community institutions with a more articulate political focus 
on commons at various levels. A strong support group will also be created at pan-Indian level. The project will also further strengthen AIFFM as a network of diverse forest movements.Bajkul Gram Bharati (BGB) was established by youth inpired by Gandhian id
eology in 1990. BGB works in West Bengal with e.g. rural women, land ownership, forest rights, as well as to defend the traditional village culture. BGB acts as a legal holder and financial coordinator in the project.All India Forum of Forest Movements (AI
FFM) is a forum that implements the activities in the project. AIFFM is an evolving network, which campaigns particularly for the rights of forest dependent communities at the local level in several states and at the national level. AIFFM is a member of th
e Global Forest Coalition (supported by Siemenpuu-Kansalaisliikkeiden yhteistyösäätiö sr) and is thus well linked with Siemenpuu-Kansalaisliikkeiden yhteistyösäätiö sr’s Global Dialogue program.#
