Reconciliation and Socio-Economic Reintegration in Rwanda and Burundi This project seeks to support reconciliation and socio-economic reintegration of those most affected by conflicts in Rwanda and Burundi. It is the third phase of the Reconciliation and Reintegration programme which Alert commenced in 2007, working with Rwandan partner organisations ( 1st of April 2013-31st March2016)  to support those most affected by the 1994 Genocide: survivors, ex-prisoners (imprisoned for crimes in the Genocide), ex-combatants, and youth. In Burundi, the project seeks to reintegration returnees, IDPs and ex-combatant affected by waves of socio-political crisis in the country. The project is reaching 4 objectives: 1)Spaces for exchange and dialogue are created in eight sectors to contribute to a culture of peace, 2) The capacities of existing and new therapeutic groups in communities and schools, and of community and school facilitators, are strengthened to address psychosocial wounds and trauma by the end of the project, 3)The socio-economic situation of those who have suffered gravely as a result of the genocide and its consequences is improved and 4)The authorities and local administrations understand the conflict dynamics which are at play and manage conflict situations in a way that supports peaceful solutions The project targets community and school facilitators who are implementing the project through local civil society partners and reach out those affected by genocide including survivors, ex-prisoners (imprisoned for crimes in the Genocide), ex-combatants, and youth in Rwanda and returnees, IDPs and ex-combatant affected by waves of socio-political crisis in Burundi
Nataf3al Consortium project led by NRC and in partnership with Ana Aqra and Amel Association. In response to the needs of children, parents/caregivers, teachers, schools, and school communities, the consortium will address the immediate and mid-term needs of all community-level stakeholders to support student retention and improve quality of teaching and learning. To ensure a rapid response at the onset of the project as well as identifying and strengthening existing systems at the school-community level, the consortium will implement the project in three phases: 
Phase I: Immediate response and needs-based programmatic development (Jan 2021 - June 2021)
Phase II: Community-informed response (July 2021 - June 2023)
Phase III: Community-led response with support from consortium partners (June 2023 - March 2024)
Alert leads on the integration of social cohesion in the community school framework and on capitalisation. Objective 1: Supporting student retention directly. Academic and psychosocial interventions to address studentsâ€™ needs, explicit support to their parents/caregivers, and teacher professional development on how to address the needs of under-performing students.
Objective 2: Strengthening teacher capacity. Teacher professional development to support teachersâ€™ knowledge and skills to contribute to social cohesion, active learning, and psychosocial support (in school and online). 
Objective 3: Increasing access to school and enhancing social cohesion. Community-informed and/or led interventions to improving the school environment and addressing critical needs including school rehabilitation, community-led initiatives, community referrals, and meaningful exchanges between groups to cultivate understanding and enhance social cohesion.
Objective 4: Learning for capitalisation modelling. The compilation of data and evidence of the interventions and project learning activities to inform programmatic adaptions and sustainable transfer of successful interventions to school communities, duty-bearers, and external actors. The project will support 10 public schools over three years in the most vulnerable cadastres or affected by the Beirut Port explosions, and where partners have strong relationships with the communities.

Towards a Global Programming Framework for Transforming Discriminatory Gender Patriarchal Norms - Nepal To address the findings in 'Twenty years of implementing UNSCR 1325 and the women, peace and security agenda: Lessons from the field', and act upon identified gaps in programmes that constructively engage with men and masculinities, Alert will build a cross-regional intervention that will develop and connect existing gender programming to reveal and dig into the manifestations of patriarchal gender norms at a local level. Projects will be focused in four locations, Nigeria, Philippines, Kyrgyzstan and Nepal. These interventions will assess the distinct influences of discriminatory patriarchal gender norms reflected in varying aspects of gender inequalities, including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and womenâ€™s participation in peace processes. The programme is proactively adopting a bottom-up approach which will form the foundations of a new global programming framework for working towards transforming these patriarchal gender norms through constructive engagement with men and violent masculinities in conflict-affected contexts. This bottom-up initiative will also feed into our three-year gender advocacy strategy â€“ â€˜Addressing patriarchal gender norms and the construction of masculinities in conflict settingsâ€™. Local evidence and approaches will drive our advocacy and influencing upstream at the national and international levels. This project is financed through CORE funding from Sida, with Â£20,000 available for each project and Â£10,000 earmarked for internal costs including production of a final report. Project objectives:

1.	To build a localised evidence-base on the varying articulations and impacts of patriarchal norms and gendered inequalities in Kyrgyzstan, Philippines, Nepal and Nigeria through the delivery of four projects;
2.	To analyse and synthesize the commonalities and differences of patriarchal gender norms and the construction of masculinities across various contexts; 
3.	To (a) develop an organisational programming framework on transforming patriarchal gender norms and violent masculinities in conflict settings and (b) drive the year two of Alertâ€™s gender advocacy strategy from 2022 onwards.

Supporting Alert's working in BARMM This project supports Alert's ongoing conflict monitoring system, 'Conflict Alert', to monitor critical and emerging events as well as provide real-time updates to relevant stakeholders such as government agencies and the media to respond effectively to mitigate conflict escalation in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). #N/A #N/A #N/A
Voices from the Borders This project involves the development of two short documentary films with young women on issues of (un)employment, local governance and security perceptions to be used as an advocacy tool to raise awareness on women’s views on security.  This approach builds on the tried and tested method of developing short-documentary films with young people in Thala, Kasserine. Those documentaries have served to change narratives and bring to the forefront the viewpoints as well as aspirations of young people in this region This integration aims at promoting human rights, promoting civilian oversight and local ownership. Women and young people have been excluded from discussions on security and their priorities have often been side-lined. It is, therefore, the aim of this project to bring in viewpoints and recommendations of more effective security as well as border management from the viewpoint of women and young people.  This will be done primarily through innovative citizen diagnostic tools, such as filmmaking and mechanisms of citizen audits on basic services. 
Outcome 1: Increased capacity of women and young people to carry out a citizen diagnostic and have a voice on security priorities and other development priorities  
Outcome 2: Relationships between local authorities, women and young people are improved and local authorities take women’s and young people’s needs into account in decision-making Young women
Bekaa Dialogue - phase 3 This project for continued support to the Bekaa Dialogue Group (BDG) and conflict sensitivity support and capacity development to the Bekaa Water Establishment (BWE), constitutes a third phase of the Creating Space for Peace project. This phase of work builds on the achieves and learning of the previous two phases. In Phases I and II the Bekaa Dialogue Group (BDG) was established and its capacities built on conflict-mapping, conflict-analysis, and facilitation skills. In Phase II the BDG identified as three topics which cause high conflict and tensions, these were: (a) Education, (b) Protection, and (c) Natural Resource Management. 

Phases I and II of this project constituted piloting and proof of concept of the dialogue model and the approach of integrating conflict sensitivity into water management in the Bekaa: developing a dialogue mechanism (facilitating dialogue, supporting initiatives and establishing a platform for increased outreach through the conference). 

Phase III aims at consolidating the learning and building on these results to a) further strengthen and grow the dialogue mechanism, with a focus on local ownership and sustainability, b) develop and connect up additional dialogue groups, and c) connect up the dialogue process with key institutions, such as the BWE to address tensions. Alongside this process, Alert will continue to work directly with the BWE, in partnership with SDC UNICEF and others, to develop its capacities and cultures to identify, manage and ultimately mitigate tensions related to water services in Bekaa. 

This third phase will focus on capitalisation of learning, scale up and replication of the dialogue mechanisms, transfer of capacities and evidencing the approach for similar dialogue and conflict mitigation projects in Lebanon. 

The project activities will be implemented over 15 months from Jan 2019 â€“ March 2020. SO1: To strengthen and sustain local capacity for conflict mitigation developed through the â€˜Creating Space for Peaceâ€™ dialogue mechanism and process. 
SO2: To promote and foster positive relations between Lebanese and Syrian communities, with a focus on youth and women.
SO3: To promote conflict sensitive water management through community engagement and capacity building of the Bekaa Water Establishment (BWE). Members of the Bekaa Dialogue Group, who will receive further support from Alert through capacity development, accompaniment, facilitating dialogue and design of community initiatives that promote their role as a conflict management group in the Bekaa. The goal of the project is to strengthen local capacities in dialogue and reduce and mitigate conflicts in the Bekaa.

Living with Dignity: Preventing Violence Against Women and Girls in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Year 2 The literature suggests that young women in Central Asia face high risks of experiencing violence, including sexual and gender-based violence. In contexts of economic and financial insecurity, as well as high levels of social tension or violent conflict, these risks increase. In Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, SGBV is rooted in traditional, patriarchal, generational, and gerontocratic gender norms. This project has been designed in response to these realities and is based on consultation with donors and co-designed with local partners and stakeholders in SGBV prevention in both Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The project will use the Living With Dignity (LwD) methodology, an evidence-based, family-level intervention which looks to address harmful gender norms and reduce SGBV through behavioural change and family economic empowerment, which has been successfully implemented in Tajikistan, Nepal, and Myanmar, and has applicability to the context in Kyrgyzstan. It has a proven record of lowering incidence of SGBV, transforming prohibitive patriarchal norms, improving family economies and women’s savings and decision making, and contributing to more cohesive communities. This project will, for the first time, adapt the methodology to urban areas, and help to facilitate national civil society movements on SGBV prevention, in collaboration with ongoing initiatives (such as UN FPA’s work with religious communities and the Spotlight Initiative) and contribute to processes dedicated towards making SGBV prevention policy more effective. Goal: SGBV has been reduced and a stronger evidence base for advocacy and policy making at the national and local level created in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, increasing potential for cohesive societies 

Outcome 1: Improved gender attitudes knowledge, and behaviour among beneficiary families (including male and female family members) has reduced acceptability and perpetration of SGBV

Outcome 2: Beneficiary women and girls have been empowered to contribute to family decision making, household finance, and wellbeing through equal participation in family-run enterprises in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan

Outcome 3: Awareness and advocacy on SGBV response/referral, and prevention has improved based on evidence, from coalescing of civil society movements on SGBV prevention, government policy design/implementation, to public rejection of SGBV Direct beneficiaries
