Emergency help for the locally hired staff of the Embassy of Finland in Kathmandu affected by the earthquake Hätäapu Nepalin maanjäristyksessä omaisuutensa menettäneille Katmandun edustuston paikalta palkatuille The big earthquake in Nepal on the 25th of April 2015 is estimated to affect into the lives of several millions of people. Some of these Nepalese people who lost their homes and belongings work at the Embassy of Finland in Kathmandu. This amount (max. 15 0
00 euros) will be used for immediate needs and first stages of reconstruction.   The purpose of this emergency help for the locally hired staff of the Embassy of Finland in Kathmandu is to help people to be able to rebuild their homes and continue their li
ves after the earthquake. The Embassy´s main task in Nepal is development co-operation. For the continuity of the Embassy´s operations it is critically important that these employees are able to continue their work at the embassy. Nepalin suuri maanjäristys 25. huhtikuuta 2015 vaikuttaa alustavien arvioiden mukaan useiden miljoonien ihmisten elämään. Kotinsa ja omaisuutensa menettäneitä nepaleja on myös työsuhteessa Suomen edustustoon Katmandussa. Hätäavun (max. 15 000 eur
oa) tarkoituksena on auttaa menetyksen kohdanneita edustustoon työsuhteessa olevia ihmisiä saamaan vaurioituneet kotinsa kuntoon sekä pääsemään jaloilleen maanjäristyksen jälkeen. Varat käytetään välittömiin tarpeisiin ja ensi vaiheen jällee
nrakennukseen. Kehitysyhteistyötä päätyönään tekevän Katmandun suurlähetystön toiminnan jatkuvuuden kannalta on kriittisen tärkeää että nämäkin työntekijät voivat jatkaa työtään.

FLC: WEL - National Dialogue on two thirds principle There has been heated debate on the viability of article 81 (b) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 which requires the  not more than two-thirds of the members of elective and appointive public bodies shall be of the same gender. Much has been centered on th
e modalities of implementing this provisionDespite Kenya having what has been termed as one of the most progressive Constitutions in the world much is yet to be attained especially in regards to an enabling environment for women's political participation. 
Compared to the rest of Eastern Africa  Kenya has the least number of women in Parliament. The gender equality bill is a great milestone and is provided in the Bill of Rights.Many Kenyans are not aware of Affirmative Action within the Constitution and the 
resultant effects of this provision on women's political leadership in the society. A study conducted between 28th + 7th April on the Gender rule showed that only 4 out of 10 Kenyans (39%) are aware of the gender rule and what it entails and that there wer
e more men than women who knew about the principle - 45% and 33% respectively. It is worthwhile to note that of those polled 66% of Kenyans are of the view that the quality of leadership and governance will improve if women were at least one third of the p
arliament. It is in this regard that Women's Empowerment Link in partnership with the media of Kenya seeks to undertake a national debate on the five proposed bills tabled in the National Assembly and the Senate
F.a: Defending Trade Union Rights of Vulnerable Groups The project strengthens the capacity of vulnerable groups of workers to defend their labor rights and to defend decent work. This is done by conducting a research on working conditions and challenges of these groups and designing a strategy to defend and a
dvocate for the rights.In Colombia, discrimination in labor market based on peoples ethnic background, skin color, sexual orientation and age is very common. Among certain groups, such as afro-colombian, tillers, women and young people, untypical contracti
ng, underpayment, and exploitation are far more common than among the rest of the Colombian population. This discrimination is often invisible, partly because these groups themselves are not able to influence the situation and to defend their legal rights.
 The project responds to this challenge by raising the public awareness on the labor and trade union rights of these forgotten groups of people, and by strengthening their organization.As a result of this project, the awareness of the situation and challen
ges of these groups in the labor market increases, the groups have strategic plans on how to defend their rights and their organization in trade unions grows.The beneficiaries are peasants (particularly rotating workers who are contracted by day, and who a
re often in the most vulnerable situation), women working as domestic workers (particularly afro-colombian) and young people (particularly young people entering to labor market).The project is implemented by Escuela Nacional Sindical (ENS). SASK and SAK ha
ve had several projects before with ENS and the organization has proved to be a reliable project partner. The target groups of the project are dispersed and weakly organized and therefore it is necessary to have as implementing partner an organization with
 sufficient capacity to implement activities and obtain results.

äydennetään Suomen kehitysavun keinovalikoimaa ja pyritään laajentamaan ja monipuolistamaan sen vaikutusaluetta. Kulttuurivaihdon tavoitteena on edistää kehitysmaiden ja Suomen kulttuurityöntekijöiden yhteistyötä sekä tukea kehitysmaiden kulttu
uria ja kulttuuri-identiteettiä. Hankkeita valittaessa otetaan huomioon eri kulttuurialojen ja maanosien tasapuolisuus sekä hankkeen ero muihin yhteistyömuotoihin ja tukiin.

F.a: Support to the Tree Monocultures Related Campaign in Latin America The Latin American Network against Tree Monocultures (RECOMA) will be strengthened through the project, and some monoculture cases, which represent so called solutions to the social and environmental crises, will be selected within the network (e.g. biomas
s, agrofuels and REDD+). In coordination with local organizations, case studies will be implemented and stories produced regarding the impacts of monocultures to the local communities. These stories will be published through WRM’s bulletin, and local org
anisations will be provided with materials on similar situations in other countries. In regard to the Uruguayan network Grupo Guayubira, new case stories will be documented and information on the impacts of tree monocultures, their alternatives, possible c
onstruction of a third pulp factory and a REDD+ project drafted by the government will be communicated. Networking will take place with other Latin American civil society networks, as well as with those working in the pulp industry’s home countries. The 
long term aim of the project is to halt the expansion of tree monocultures by strengthening the resistance against them in Latin America through RECOMA and in Uruguay through Guayubira. The aim is on one hand for the actors resisting tree monocultures to p
ossess more information on new developments promoting the expansion of monocultures, and on the other hand for the local struggles against plantations to gain more visibility. Halting of the tree monoculture expansion would result in avoiding their negativ
e impacts on water bodies, soil as well as flora and fauna. Hence, local communities would be able to continue their current livelihoods and ways of life. The project beneficiaries and collaborators include local communities tackling with the impacts of tr
ee monocultures, RECOMA’s member organisations in ten countries and WRM’s other collaborators.
