CO-Reducing Inequality Amidst COVID-19 Uganda has continued to benefit from the various development assistance from  developed  countries. Key sectors such as health are sufficiently  funded by the external support to  about 41% of the total expenditures.  In additional to this support, more external support in terms of debts have been acquired by the government  from both  multinational and bilateral  lenders. The provisional total public debt stock (in nominal terms) at the end of February 2022 for instance  stood at Shs.74,434.3 billion, a 6.8 percent increase from June 2021 compared to an increase of 16.3 percent the same period last year.  This however doesn’t negate  several debt reliefs the Uganda received in early 1990s and in 2006 through the  the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPCs) initiative, and the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) respectively . Increased public debt and its related obligations in terms of interest payments has thus deprived the available government budget to finance its sectors. For instance over the last 5  financial years, interest payments on  the public debt has been the first  funding priority for government compared to other  sectors such as education,  health ,agriculture among others. This has a large implication on service delivery to citizens as  financial resources that would  be invested in critical public service deliverables are  eroded by the debt obligations. According to Oxfam’s CRI index report 2021, EastAfrican countries were spending five times as much on domestic and external debt servicing as on health. This  clearly  imply  that increase public debt negatively affect  the poor who  mostly rely on public amenities.

Against this background, OXFAM in Uganda ,plan to implement   two  media  engagement activities in which  insights from the CRI report  will be shared with stakeholders for policy actions. These insights are planned to speak to the current realities including the inflationary pressure, raising cost of living, unpaid workforce, increasing public debt, government expenditure on poverty reducing sectors among others.

Specifically,  themedia engagement activities  are aimed at:
1. Influencing public narrative on the commitments of  government to address inequality in Uganda
2. Increasing  citizens demand for downward accountability.
VCCI - Clam & Bamboo Trade Promotion The Overall Objective of this project is to contribute to reduce poverty and inequality in rural areas of Vietnam through inclusiveand sustainable Value Chain (VC) development. To reach this overall goal, two specific objectives must be achieved are:
#(SO1) SSPsand Micro/Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) processors of clam and bamboo VCs have increased income from sustainable production practices, improved business efficiency and access to markets
# (SO2) Clams and bamboo value chains in five provinces are better organized, equitable and inclusive.

There are four parties together carrying out the project activities to achieve the aforementioned objectives, respectively Oxfam, ICAFIS, NTFPRC and VCCI. (1) Oxfam, is very seasoned in programme management according the international standards. It has all the routines and systems in place to comply with the donor requirements. Further it has important expertisein private sector engagement, value chain development and governance and policy advocacy. It will lead in the activities that relate to these expertise fields. Further it mobilizes its partners network of policy advocacy coalitions (in the Agricultural and land Coalitions) and legal assistance from other relevant agencies to land user rights claims . For the mounting of financial institutions# and investors# engagement it leans on the associate: the State Bank. (2) ICAFIS (a not-for profit artisanal fishing expertise organization) and (3) NTFPRC (a not-for-profit resource center for the sustainable use of timber operations) are technical leads in the management of sustainable clam and bamboo operations, respectively. All activities relation to the specific technical and towards the development of either of the two VCs, is directly and fully delegated to these two partners. (4) VCCI (the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce and Industry) is the technical lead on trade promotion and leads on the activity where these are at stake.
LRF-Women Leadership through Rugby Those women coaches and athletes, as well as Hmong women, are facing high expectations and a variety of pressures including gender,ethnicity, and primary language. Those expectations and negative stereotypes towards gender that have been deeply ingrained in the local community pose a great barrier to women's engagement in rugby. Even though some of them could overcome the challenges and follow their passion to play and teach rugby, some could not step out of their fear. The federation has formed two groups, Unstoppable (F) and Change Champion (M), comprised of people of various ethnicities. They are the youth who have been trained in sports and leadership in order to lead and change the community. Concerning unstoppable (F), our goal is to create a safespace for the new generation to express themselves, seize opportunities, and broaden their network. While Change Champions (M) aim to break social stereotypes about leadership roles, they should be for men. Therefore, this project has started with this rationale. The project will be implemented in 5 districts across 3 provinces (Vientiane, the capital; Xiengkhouang; and Vientiane) within a year (the final version of project description will be replace this one later)

CO-505233 Oxfam Niger held a workshop on May 5 and 6, 2021, which allowed for a participatory self-diagnosis of its strengths and areas for improvement in terms of conflict sensitivity (see workshop report). Based on the challenges and solutions identified during the workshop, the proposed action plan below was developed covering a start-up phase from January to April 2022.  2. The purpose of the validation meeting is to review and refine the plans before validation and launch of activities. The significant challenges associated with the volatile national context, coupled with the constraints and uncertainties of the global health crisis, are putting a lot of pressure on Oxfam Niger's teams. A key criterion of feasibility therefore guided the proposed directions, so that the plan would be as realistic as possible given the time and resources available and would take into account current organizational priorities. 3. Twopartners are committed to supporting this process in 2021/2022, and possibly beyond, depending on the needs identified by Oxfam Niger in terms of support and resources: Oxfam IBIS, within the Oxfam confederation, and PeaceNexus, a Swiss private foundation specialized in organizational capacity building around conflict and peace issues.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

CO-Flood Response in Mbale Elgon region is one of the regions in Uganda prone to recurrent disasters associated with heavy rainfall such as landslides and floods given its geographical set up aligned in three zones. The highland zone is prone to landslides and mass wasting of soils, hailstorms, falling boulders, deep cracks while the mid highland zone is also at risk and experiences the impacts of the highland disasterwith falling debris and boulders. In both cases, communities experience , loss of lives, loss of crops and livestock, as well as destruction of houses and  infrastructure such as water supply systems, sanitation facilities, schools, health facilities, churches  and road networks. The wide spread  flooding leads to risks of water borne diseases , crop pest and animaldiseases.
During the period July to October 2022 , the heavy rains received cross the region affected a number of districts, with  Mbale, Sironko, Bulambuli, Bududa and Mbale City being the most severely affected; live were lost  and property destroyed.

Food crisis response in Somalia As in most parts of the Somalia, Gu rains were poor in Gedo region resulting in crop and pasture failure and water scarcity. The price of locally produced foods have doubled and livestock prices have decreased resulting in a poor purchasing power of the population in all the districts of Gedo region. The situation has resulted in outward migration of the rural population to urban areas including Dollow district. In response to the increasing needs, SADO will implement a 2-month cash intervention to assist the most vulnerable drought affected IDP households to receive immediate assistance, and ensure a first-line defense against further deterioration through early response. The transfer value is aligned to Somalia CWGs recommended transfer values for Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance for Gedo region.
Understanding Migrations in the Sahel Understanding Migrations in the Sahel: A  key for action (COMIS)

The objective of this project is to provide a better knowledge ofcertain aspects of migration with a view to contributing and strengthening advocacy on the situation of internal and international migrants in Niger, which will allow, on the one hand, to consolidate research on migration in Niger and on the other hand to strengthen science-policy dialogue and science-society dialogue.
The research component of the project will concern Niamey, the main host cities for internal migrants combining administrative, political and economic functions. It will therefore concern Agadez, Tahoua, Maradi and Zinder, four regional capitals which capture internal migratory flows coming mainly from their hinterland. Three small and medium-sized towns (Birni N’Konni, Tchin Tabaraden, Tanout) and departure villages in the Tahoua region are also concerned. The Tahoua region is the main region of departure from Niger. It was the subject of a survey on migration practices (in 24 villages) in 2008conducted by some of the members of GERMES. The existence of previous data will make it possible to conduct a study on the migratory dynamics and the changes that have affected this area over the past twelve years.
