CO-506609 Burundi#s civic space is shrinking every day. Women are the first to suffer because of it, especially regarding their access to land. Several NGOs have been trying for years, unsuccessfully, to change the situation through advocacy and affirmative actions. Other countries in HECA region have registered huge progresses in tackling this issue. Existing knowledge about how they succeeded is not shared and leveraged enough in Burundi. Initial investment in documenting, sharing and managing emerging lessons will lead to broader impact and improved actions in Burundi. Generated knowledge will be directly applied to the design of new, more effective programmes.
The Burundi country office wants to:
- Learn from other HECA countries with similar experiences andcontexts;
- Start to better document and use the knowledge#s generation that is already taking place elsewhere in the region and adapt it to its needs and local context in a creative way, thanks to a facilitator / consultant ;
- Create easily digestible, available and accessible communicationmaterial (image-boxes, videos of case studies#) about women#s struggle and successes in other HECA countries to foster discussions among Oxfam#s, its partners# and their beneficiaries in Burundi;
- Create a spacefor exchange and reflection on other countries# experiences with beneficiaries, especially women.
CO-Somalia Joint Response The Joint Response for Somalia is a project funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Dutch Relief Alliance. Oxfam Novib is leading a consortium that consists of Dorcas, SOS Children#s Villages, World Vision and Oxfam Novib. The proposed projectaims to address the HRP objectives of providing life-saving and life-sustaining integrated, multi-sectoral assistance to reduce acute humanitarian need for communities affected by the drought and protracted conflict. The (revised) Humanitarian Response Plan, dated July 2018, states there are currently 5,4 mln people in need. The locations and sectors for project implementation are to be determined in a planning workshop taking place on 24 and 25 October, with representatives from the participating consortium members and local partners.
FAIR Financial Flows Sida Kenya 17-19 The goal of this program is to ensure that citizens are empowered to redress inequality of power and influence, so fiscal systems are more progressive, and governments implement tax and spending policies that benefit the many, not the few. Active citizenship is therefore an essential element.

Our intervention in Kenya will work on these 3 strategies to reach our goal:

- Tax systems generatemore revenue and are made more progressive so the tax burden is more evenly shared and inequality is reduced,particularly for women.
- Budgeting processes become more transparent and spending on progressive public services that tackle gender and economic inequalities increases and becomes more effective.
- Oxfam and civil society organizations are capacitatedand able to engage with and influence (public) financial sector to achieve greater fiscal justice.
GBV,Protection &shelter for SS refugees CARE will be implementing all GBV, Protection and Shelter activities under results 2 and 4
and CARE will also support Oxfam and CEFORD to mainstream protection and GBV in their actions.
Another important value that CARE adds is its large scale operations in SouthSudan and its deep
knowledge of prevailing sociocultural norms and gender issues in South Sudan as evidenced by
CARE's recently published study (see Inequality and Injustice: the deteriorating situation for women and
girls South Sudan's war. A Progressive Gender Analysis: 2013 - 2016). This is invaluable knowledge to
ensure effective humanitarian actions with refugees inside Uganda. CARE's presence in South Sudan
also means it has firsthand information on the evolving conflict inside South Sudan, ensuring the
consortium can be prepared to respond inside Uganda. While this is also true for Oxfam, the fact that
our agencies work in different part of South Sudan is a considerable advantage

This project shall provide institutional support to the networks.
FNV IMVO award Metal and Windenergy FNV Metal is strongly represented in various works councils and employee representatives of companies in the Metal and Technology sector, also known as small metal. FNV Metaal concludes collective agreements in the Metal Technology sector for industries and companies. This states which employment conditions - such as wages, working hours and the like - apply in the coming period. In addition,FNV argues for more sustainability in the metal chains, also with regard to workers in countries where metal or scrap material is #sourced.
FNV cooperates with partner trade unions worldwide to improve compliance with the labor rights of workers in this sector. Labor rights violations, such as unhealthy or unsafe working conditions, low wages and lack of access tosocial security - in the metal-mining industry or in the work of scrap metal collectors - regularly come to the fore here.

As part of the process, the FNV and other civil society organizations are negotiating with the VNMI branch organization about mechanisms to, among other things, eliminate labor rights violations in the metal chain, with regard to heavy industry and the recycling of scrap or artisanal mining.

FNV wants to get the branch organization present to carry out due diligence throughout the entire metal chain and to commit to compliance with the OECD guidelines for multinational companies. FNV works together with CNV, UNICEF and IUCN. Through its membership of IndustriALL, FNV has gained experience in coal mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Columbia in recent years. Via IndustriALL Global and Mondiaal FNV, FNV has a wide network of partner unions in countries where sourcing is taking place.
Quality teacher: ON Implementing(HO) Children receiving quality education will have better opportunities to decent jobs and will participate actively in their society. Mali is ranked one of the lowest quality education systems in the world. Despite significant progress in terms of access toprimary education, 800.000 children are not in school. Children completing the school cycle do so without acquiring the basic reading, or thespecialized skills to enter the workforce or continue their education. The poor learning outcomes are mainly a result of the shortage of professionally trained teachers with relevant skills, knowledge and competences. Oxfam and Education International with the help of Comic Relief have joined forces to improve the quality of the education system. Building on lessonslearned from an earlier project that focused on the professional competences and acceptance in public system of primary community school teachers, this projectwill focus on improving student learning at lower secondary education. Factors to improve theeducation received include: Quality teachers with improved teaching skills and knowledge, particularly on girls education and technical and life skills; Consensus-based teacher competence profile that informs teacher training and further professional development; Teachers that receive quality pre- andin-service training through improved training modules. The project will take the mobile telephone development as an opportunity to innovate in-service teacher training and will develop some modules to be usedon SD cards. Development of new modules for teacher training and where possible digital modules by the government in partnership with teacher training institutes, civil society and teachers; Being in the public system will also give informal teachers access to in-service training and improved salary.
Counterpart 506204 Culture and Free Thou The situation of youth and women in Gaza is characterized by violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), human rights and human dignity. The Israeli policy of separating Gaza from the rest of the OPT with the ongoing 11-year Israeli blockade controlling air, sea, and land with repeated cycles of violence have directly exacerbated the situation in the Gaza Strip, increasing vulnerability and dependency of the population on basic humanitarian support and services. In 2014, Gaza experienced mass destruction, civiliancasualties and trauma resulting from the 50 day war.
The proposed project aims to work under the framework of United Nations Security Council Resolution on youth, peace and security (UNSCR 2250), United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNCR 1325 on women, peace, and security and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPDs) which are all interlinked within CFTA#s spaces.  As well as, discussing women and youth peace and security issues and very intertwined relation between them. It will build on a solid base of knowledge and commitment of women and youth rights and gender justice concepts of the targeted young people.
CO-506575 Prior to Cyclone Idai making landfall on the night of 14-15 March extensive flooding had already occurred in the provinces of Tete and Zambezia from the same weather system. The flooding affected 48,000 people in Zambezia, displacing 13,000. Populations in low lying villages along major rivers, particularly in Maganja da Costa, Chinde, Luabo, and Namacura were affected. COSACA partners conducted a rapid assessment in Maganja da Costa and Namacura Districts from 6-8 April to improve their understanding of the different population needs in the aftermath of the flooding. The assessment found that the populations in several villages had been relocated into temporary accommodation in resettlement centres (some existing from the 2015 floods) and lacked access to basic hygiene and sanitation services, risking public health and well-being. Oxfam, as a member of COSASA, was well-placed to respond in these two districtsdue to pre-existing operations in Zambezia and worked to rapidly scale-up a WASH response, including provision of basic NFIs to support hygiene, distribution of lifesaver cubes to prevent the spread of water-borne illnesses, and provision of plastic latrine slabsto construct emergency latrines in settlement centers to support improved sanitation and reduce risk of contamination. Overall, this intervention proposed to reach 3,000 unique households (15,000 individuals) using a combination of materials available from Oxfam#s central WASH supply warehouse in Oxford and small items that could be procured locally and rapidly. This project will be implemented with co-funding from SIDA Rapid Response Mechanism and DRF Hong Kong.
Building Resilient Communities Oxfam Pak Building Resilient Communities through Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction in Pakistan

Oxfam will work with the local partner #Laar Humanitarian Development Programe (LHDP) in district Badin to implement the project from 01st July, 2016 to 31st March, 2018. In close partnership with local CSOs, vulnerable communities and their representative bodies, Oxfam has a strong track record of effectiveworking relationships with local partners and government authorities in Pakistan and has played a pivotal role inshifting the focusfrom emergency response to disaster preparedness. Oxfam together with its local partner will strengthen community governance structures and the established civil society district DRR forums, for example through training sessions and facilitated project implementation. Women and disabled persons, in particular, will be included in decision-making and planning processes. The project will enablecommunities to manage assets, resources and promote diversified livelihoods, especially in times of disasters. Capacity-building modules will include management skills and disaster risk reduction training at union council level, distribution of DRR kits, and early warning training for disaster management committees at the village and union councillevel. Oxfam will also support the LHDP to systematically engage with local government representatives to ensure increased knowledge through technical exposure, and support future government prioritisation of DRR as reflected in district annual developmentplans and budgetary allocations. The project will be implemented in the flood prone of union councils in district Badin.

Following are the major aims and objectives of the project:

Overall Objective: Increase community resilience to disasters in district Bhaker and Badin within Sindh and Punjab province through preparedness and adaptation capacities of local communities, CSOs and authorities.

Outcome 1: Development and effective implementationof policy and practice that supports the uptake ofDRRand resilience.

Outcome 2: Enhanced coping mechanisms and livelihoods for flood -prone communities in Bhaker and Badin districts of Pakistan
Women Counseling and Legal Aid Center WCLAC is a leading WRO in Ramallah, in this project WCLAC will aim to enhance the prevention of cases GBV/WBI  in the West bank through carry out awareness raising workshops for community members and professionals on women human rights in oPt namely in three universities in the WB (Bier Ziet, Al Istqlal and Hebron) and Sharia court lawyers. WCLAC will be part of building informal network/bodyof CSO that do not have the capacities on dealing with cases of GBV but they have a greater outreach in the WB, WCLAC will contribute towards providing easier access to women survivors of GBV in marginalized areas by taking part in building skills and knowledge of 45 targeted field workers/coordinators from non-WROs in three targeted areas on the legal and social aspects of TAKAMOL (referral system) to help them to give advice to cases of violence about guidance on referral system, as well WCLAC will conduct six field visits to those trainees to provide coaching while working, this will cover the practical aspect of the referral system. This will helpto build informal network between WROs and other CSOs in the West Bank which would facilitate the work of both sides. through the work of the CSOs cases of GBV will be identified and will be referred to the best referral pathway, however WCLAC under this project will provide quality legal, social and protection services for women survivors of GBV by providing services, finally WCLAC will invest in developing the capacities of housemothers in their shelter in Jericho and to build the capacity of staff lawyers and service providers  to ensure access to services and to ensure better quality of those services.
CO-Emergency WASH interventions in Palab This project seeks to increase supply of potable water to meet the sphere / UNHCR standard of 20 l/p/d for 11,700 beneficiaries (8,190 refugees and 3,510 host community residents in Lamwo). This will be enhanced through changing identified high yield wells into motorized solar run systems, pumping water into storage tanks and supplying by gravity into tap stands within the settlement especially in zones 6 and 8 in Palabek as well as supporting with spare parts and pump mechanics tools for any boreholes repair in the host community and settlement while working in partnership with local authorities of Lamwo.

Additionally, the project will intensify andstrengthen community hygiene promotion through mobilization for construction, completion and use of household latrines which is a more sustainable solution to meet the sanitation standards (e.g. 1 latrine with hand washing facility per family) than communal facilities which will be eventually phased out. Through the project, we will support construction of lined pit latrines for water logged areas especially in zone 6 and follow up on communities that will benefit from the motorised water systems. Additional communal bathshelters and latrines for new arrivals will be constructed for emergency use to avoid open defecation.

These sanitation facilitiesshall be equipped with hand washing facilities installed at every household latrine block. The project will ensure sensitization and awareness creation for behaviour change specifically focusing on key 5 hygiene messages which include proper use of latrines to avoid open defecation, Hand washing with soap during the 5 critical moments for hand washing, safe water chain, food and environmentalhygiene. Monitoring to ensure the facilities required for an ideal home stead are in all the households will be one of the task that will be prioritised in hygiene promotion activities.

The project will promote and mainstream community based gender and protection initiatives ensuring that the most vulnerable including women and children have dignified, safe and accessible WASH facilities.
Strengthening of community based management structures and linking with local Government will be a key priority as this will ensure sustainable operation and maintenance of the established infrastructures and continued behaviour and practice changes. Through sector coordination, Oxfam will continue to contribute to quality improvements in service delivery by sharing lessons learned.
Advocacy on Property Tax Policies Property tax is applied by many countries in the world because of its visibility and often publicly available as tax assets. However, property tax forms such as land and housing tax, agricultural land use tax, land rent, water fees and registration fees ... account for just 0.7% of the Vietnamese total local budget with many restrictions. For example, progressiveness of the tax system is being eroded while budget deficits are becoming commonly. The system of research and advisory agencies serving the National Assembly in legislative, supervisory and decision on important issues is not strong and very few National Assembly deputies have expertise in finance and budget.
The project "Advocating for the Law on Property Tax towards the Fair, Equitable and Effective Tax Law" is proposedincluding the following main activities: conducting research on the application of property tax in Vietnam and policy recommendations; organizing consultative workshops for National Assembly deputies and officials of the Finance Department; organizing communication consultations; strengthening the network of activists on property tax law.
The lead agency for the project is the Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR), with the close involvement of other members of the Fair Tax Association and BTAP. The Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR) proposed the implementation of the Law on Property Taxation to
      1. Enhance progressiveness of the tax system and increase budget resources for social welfare programs, health,      education
      2. Reduce the hot growth rate and real estate bubble
      3. Stabilize the macro economy and creating conditions for the country's economic development
Project Outcomes
      1. Build Vietnam's tax system fairly, transparently, and efficiently
      2. Raise awareness of public finance issues
      3. Improve CSOs and state budget to implement social welfare, health, and education programs.
CO- Oxfam Novib Cambodia Support CSOs in working toward protecting and expanding civil society space and strengthening for civil society organizations through key partners including Cambodian Cooperation Committee, Budget working groups, COMFREL, and Youth Coalition Unity Development.

Emergency WASH kit distribution Due to heavy raining, the Helmand and Kandahar provinces including its districts suffered with flash floods, which demolished the homes, agricultural lands, irrigation canals, gardens, water streams, and livestock, especially, the flood prone areas. In the same time, the overflowing water flowed into the homes and partially damaged or destroyed houses, washed out the household items, NFI and belonging, as well as livestock and animal fodder. Furthermore, the houses, where they were entirely collapsed by flood, these houses# HoH could not afford to rebuild them, therefore, the family members, especially women, and children spent the days and nights in wet clothes. As a result, they were infected with different kinds of diseases facing the population health issues and challenges.
Recent Protection Incidents:
# In Cemetee area of Lashkergah city, due to heavy rain, a house was completely collapsed where four children were killed and two persons were severely injured.
# During protection monitoring, the team monitored six houses, where the HoHs were widows and children, were completely destroyed, hence, were referred to PSN project assistance.
# As they were exposed to cold and lack of shelter in Nawa district of Helmand province, thus, most of the children were suffering serious diseases.
# Due to heavy rain and floods, a large number of families a homeless and leaving with no shelter.
# The main harvest, expected in upcoming months, was entirely lost.
# Some parts of the houses were collapsed, therefore, they needed emergency aid or shelter in order to save dependencies.
# Most of HoH lost their NFIs and house belongings.
# Most of the livestock were killed by flood, which further exacerbates the local economy, as cattle were used as a source of income for these families.
# Overall, the privacy of the population was not conserved, due to non-availability of emergency latrines.
# The bore wells were contaminated with the flood water, no proper access to adequate drinking water.
# The flood-affected people were mentally and physically disturbed.
# Lack of secure food and secure livelihoods made the population vulnerable.

In general, the flood-affected families were in an extreme poor situation. Most of the families were affected by the flood and lost everything, such as agricultural fields, livestock, shelters and food stocks. Due to these strains, the flood-affected families in Helmand province were yelling for emergency assistance.
