Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) The project improves working conditions and collective bargaining of the employees in Colombia.Employees often possess key positions in their work places and in their respective unions, but the affiliation level within this group of workers is extremely lo
w. Due to the structural changes in labor markets and economy, precarious labor and out-sourcing are increasing among the white collar workers and a new group of precarious workers, who don't have any labor security or means to defend their labor and trade
 union rights, is arising in the labor market. In Colombia, the anti-trade union attitudes are more common among employees than among workers and employers in the white-collar workplaces have strong anti-union policies: illegal dismissals, discrimination a
nd out-sourcing of labor are common means of employers to show organized workers that trade unions are not accepted in their workplace. In general, employees' knowledge on their legal labor rights is poor and employees fear to join a union, mainly due to t
he violence and persecution of trade union activists during many decades in Colombia. This project strengthens employees' unions in order to improve the defense of employees' labor rights and strengthen collective bargaining.As a result of this project, th
e employees' unions in Cundinamarca, Antioquia and Santander regions will be stronger and able to defend effectively the principles of Decent Work. Union activists and leaders will be trained and union membership will increase.The beneficiaries of this pro
ject are employees in Cundinamarca, Antioquia and Santander regions.The project is implemented by Confederacion de Trabajadores de Colombia (CTC) together with its member unions.
URT/National forest programme implementation support project The objective of Finland's support is to reduce poverty and promote conservation and sustainable utilization of forest and bee resources by contributing towards the implementation of the Programme with financial assistance. Finland coordinates its assistan
ce with other donors supporting the implementation of the Programme. The LoI between the GoT and the Partners supporting the Implementation of NFP constitutes with its possible later amendments an integral part of the Agreement. To this day ten (10) Partne
rs out of eleven (11) have signed The LoI. The signature of one (1) Partner is still pending.The Programme shall be implemented in accordance with the overall NFP work plan and budget for two (2) years (July 2006 - June 2008).
Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) The project supports negotiation skills training of 150 active union members and leaders, negotiating 50 new company level CBAs, establishment of 80 new workplace level local branches and recruitment of around 1 500 new paying members to the Mozambican tou
rism sector union. Despite its relatively high membership density the union is not visible and relevant enough among the tourism sector workers and this is due to the inadequate number of local branches and inadequate negotiation skills. Hence development 
of more effective ways to defend the interests of members is expected to raise the status of SINTIHOTS. As a result it is expected that the negotiations and member services become more efficient, members become more active and the union improves its financ
ial self-sustainability. The beneficiaries are workers of the rapidly growing Mozambican tourism sector, and the project is implemented by SINTIHOTS, the national union organizing hotel and restaurant workers.
Frame Agreement with NGO (WWF Finland) Nepal?s biodiversity is under constant threat from habitat degradation and fragmentation, deforestation and forest degradation which are driven by unplanned infrastructure development, uncontrolled forest fires. The iconic Himalayan species as tigers and s
now leopards are threaten by poaching and illegal wildlife trade as well as causing human wildlife conflicts in some areas. Moreover, climate change has exacerbated the threats to biodiversity and people?s livelihoods.We work in two priority landscapes in 
Nepal: Terai Arc Landscape in Southern-Nepal and Sacred Himalayan Landscape in North-East-Nepal. The conservation work improves corridor and buffer zone conservation and management, reduces deforestation and strengthens community-based conservation. Our wo
rk enables increase in the population of key species such as rhino and tiger by decreased illegal wildlife trade and poaching and protection of their habitats. Improvement of the livelihoods and wellbeing of the local communities is gained through developi
ng income generating activities such as forest-based enterprises and by increasing access to energy and developing health and hygiene solutions. In addition we increase conservation awareness and empower local youth to act for the environment. We also deve
lop integrated river basin management and water smart communities which help local communities to adapt in climate change. Beneficiaries: the local community forest user groups, women and youth groups, ethnic minority groups, forest workers and disadvantag
ed groups. Implementor: WWF Nepal: http://www.wwfnepal.org/, More information about our interventions: http://www.wwfnepal.org/what_we_do/special_projects/decent_work__healthy_environment/expected_results/, Generation Green: http://tgg.org.np/, Building an

Promotion of education right of indigenous peoples in the Santiago del Estero Province and supporting sustainable development of communities The project aims to strengthen and consolidate functions of an agroecology school in Quimili in the province of Santiago del Estero whose students come from Vilela Lule-Vilela Sanaviron and Guaycuru indigenouspeoples communities. The school is located in t
he grounds of the community Pueblo Vilela Pampa Pozo. It is maintained by these four indigenous peoples which also have established it for the purpose of giving integrated education for their young aged 16 to 25 to guarantee social and sustainable developm
ent of communities and enable conditions for the young to stay in the region through advantages obtained by agroecology that enables livelihood and sustainable growth.The school provides the technical knowledge needed for the position of assistant in agroe
gology. The local environment and its requirements are  considerated in the education as well as the traditions and values of indigenous peoples. The school was established to fulfill educational needs of indigenous peoples' young and it is directed and de
veloped by the four indigenous peoples in coordination with its students.The provincial government has granted the school with partial recognition but it doesn't finance its functions. The students travel once a month to the school to take part in the clas
ses during one week while living in the school facilities. Rest of the month they practice  in their communities what they have learned transfering knowledge right to the field. Once graduated they get technical support and the tools needed to fully implem
ent the knowledge acquired to enable their own source of livelihood through sustainable small scale agriculture.The question of equality between men and women is taken into consideration and the participation of women is encouraged and promoted in all acti
ons. Also the matter of equality is being dealt with in workshops that take place once a week during the school week. The aim is to reach 50 % of female students of new students.The goal is to increase the number of student from the current 80 per grade to
 120 students and hence gain greater impact in the communities. To accomplish this and to assure the continuity of school's functions the objective is to obtain institutional support and official recognition for the school by the provincial government whic
h is needed for state subsidy. Its required to enable the increase of the number of students since the capacity of the school and the communities is already fully utilised.
Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) Since President U Thein Sein?s official 1/11 Call to Peace, the space for civil society to contribute to the comprehensive peace process between the government and EAGs has?theoretically?widened considerably. The ongoing peace process is no longer meant to
 be the exclusive, closed-door enterprise concerning only top-level decision makers that have characterised past attempts to solve the six-decade conflict. Civil society?s engagement in the comprehensive process is vital to dealing with 65-years of entrenc
hed mistrust and fear ? to move the country forward through reconciliation and a more sustainable peace. While Myanmar?s peace process is still deep in the nationwide ceasefire stage, civil society engagement has remained opaque with few practical entry po
ints ? leaving a broad swatch of the population concerned and skeptical of the process and its outcomes.  Objectives: Local communities in fragile contexts have enhanced capacity to prevent and resolve violent conflicts, using inclusive mechanisms and focu
sing on the respect for human rights.Activities: ? Support of civil society Changemakers ? particularly women and youth. ? Formation of Myanmar Changemakers Initiative ? engaging youth from target locations as well as across Myanmar.? Exchange and sharing 
of ideas between Cambodia, Finland and Myanmar Changemakers.  ? Support provided?both technical and financial ? to youth formed collaborative community and one national level project intended to advance the vision and mission of the Myanmar Changemakers In
itiative.? Support provided?both technical and financial?to women?s civic engagement groups/network across project locations linking with national level initiatives.  Right-holders /beneficiaries: Particularly women and youth, also duty-bearers.   Implemen
ting partner:As a vital means to effectively implement the proposed new R2P pilot project/process, FCA intends to partner with new and highly experienced peace focused organisations. FCA needs to expand the partnerships to additional partners with peace bu
ilding process capacity to effectively commence and advance the R2P thematic focus. These partner organisations are yet to be identified.  The new engagements will require a partnership assessment to take place.

International Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) The application under the heading ?Human Rights Democracy and Empowerment? resonates with the Cross-cutting objectives ?Elimination of discrimination? and ?Greater openness and inclusion? of the Human Rights Action Plan 2013-2015 of the MFA particularly as
 LGBTI persons are considered a vulnerable group and shares the aims actions like strengthening ?international acceptance for the interpretation that the concept of discrimination includes discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation gender identity and
 gender expression and promotes efforts to define objectives for realising the rights of transgender and intersex people? (pag.16) especially within the context of the promotion of human rights in international organisations both the UN and regional releva
nt bodies (e.g. the African Commission for Peoples? and Human Rights) as mentioned on page 24 of the Human Rights Strategy of the MFA.It is ILGA?s strong conviction based on the experience of our member organisations in the last two decades that the main o
bstacle to the recognition of LGBTI rights internationally lies in the lack of belief as to the true universality of human rights: the existence of strong autonomous LGBTI movements firmly rooted in the global South (and East) working for social and cultur
al acceptance and for the abolition of discriminatory legislation at the national level is the best (if not the only) argument to defeat the notion that LGBTI human rights are not genuinely universal.The proposal marks the second phase of the immediate obj
ectives of developing the regional chapters of ILGA in the global South (Pan Africa ILGA ILGA Asia and ILGA LAC) and ensuring that progress is made towards the universal decriminalisation of homosexuality. Activities related to the first objective range fr
om the setting up of offices to organising regional conferences while those related to the second objective range from supporting the participation of local LGBTI organisation to the UPR process to the coordination of advocacy strategies aimed at regional 
intergovernmental bodies. While the three regional structures of ILGA and the local LGBTI groups involved in the activities are the most direct beneficiaries the proposal will benefit the LGBTI community in the global South at large.
Cameroon Functional Literacy Program Development problemThe project will target people in 11 different indigenous language groups especially women  and youth. These language groups consist of 632 000 people in the North West West Centre East and Far North Regions of Cameroon.All chosen langua
ge groups belongs to minorities and therefore are more underdeveloped than others. They suffer from poverty malnutrition health issues and poor education. Lack of education  results in people being unaware of their rights.The core problem among these peopl
e is their poor access to appropriate education and training.Overall objectivesThe immediate objective of this project is to increase the communities and individuals in their own capacity to deal with their own problems. The goal is to empower unskilled yo
ung people and adults with their own language. Through the program their reading skills will develop and they will learn to use learn to put their reading to practical use.Another immediate goal is to strengthen the partner?s and village committees? capaci
ty to act as competent development actors.The goal of the project is to seek improved quality of life for minority people groups in Cameroon by maximizing the opportunities for self-directed development. Cross-cutting development objectivesGender equality 
Reduction of inequality and Climate sustainability will be taught in the classes. These issues are part of the learning material. In addition they will be taken into consideration in all the activities. E.g. chosing the main target people and a part of the
 advocacy .Structure This program will not create any new organizational structures but rather strengthen existing ones.The main beneficiariesThe goal is to reach the youth and adults who have completed basic mother-tongue literacy classes. In particular w

Frame agreement with NGO (CMI) The ability of any peacebuilding effort to produce high quality results and generate impact is connected to the degree of coordination and cooperation among relevant actors and being tapped into best available knowledge. Sufficient, broad-based funding is 
another basic prerequisite for successful interventions. This project aims at enhancing proactive cooperation and coordination between CMI, local actors and the international peace making community as well as supporting CMI?s fundraising efforts in the US 
and EU.  This is done by participating in professional discussions with relevant actors and forums, engaging in joint learning+sharing initiatives, and enhancing the scoping and development of funding applications to US and EU actors.
Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) A vast majority of the inhabitants of Bo ? the second city in Sierra Leon - live in extreme poverty. There is a high unemployment among young people especially those within the youth age bracket (between the ages of 17 to 35 years). The area also has a ver
y high school dropout rate among young people due to various factors ranging from lack of finances to continue their education to having to work for an income to support other more vulnerable family members. The continuous increase in the fees and cost of 
University education is drastically decreasing access to that level of education for the poor and vulnerable. Consequently, this makes the improvement of the options, quality and access to technical and vocational training institutions extremely important.
However, despite these trainings, unemployment remains high as the trained youths lacked the level of skills and competencies required for accessing employment. And for those who wanted to become self-employed they lacked the skills required to turn busine
ss ideas into bankable business plans. Moreover, access to credit facilities and business advisory services continues to be a limitation. The need to improve on the employability of the graduates so that they fit into the context of the work place also rem
ains a challenge.The key objectives of the project are to improve the livelihoods of poor young male and female artisans in relation to their respective trades, to adopt improved entrepreneurial practices in the production and sale of goods/services and ac
cess  resources, business advisory services and wider markets.It is also ensured that the training delivered at the centre meets the industries requirements and occupational standards for key sectors to support a competency based certification ? this will 
require partnership with the private sector.The main activity is vocational and skills training in carpentry, masonry, tailoring, welding, hairdressing and catering services. The cross cutting courses will include: literacy and numeracy, life skills, emplo
yability skills to include interpersonal skills, communication skills comportment and sensitivity to diversity.Rights-holders /beneficiaries: Vulnerable urban and peri-urban youthImplementing partner: Rehabilitation and Development Agency (RADA)
ERITT/RECOFTC Mekong Region Forest and Climate Support Local communities need information of better form and accuracy to be able to access forest product and services markets and obtain a higher share in value creation. Payments for environmental services including carbon mitigation are increasingly available 
but local communities are as yet unable to capture these markets or even comprehend them. They need better information about their forest resources to be able to access such schemes. The goal of the project: Local people gaining additional benefits through
 improved access to forest product and carbon markets and payments for environmental services contributing to poverty reductionenhancement of environmental conditions and mitigation and better adaptation to climate change.
Rescue of the collective memory: sons and daughters of the disappeared The aim of the project is to analyze and understand the stories from the late 80s by a group of young people sons and daughters of the disappeared in the context of psychosocial care received by the Foundation PIDEE and relate to their current stories in o
rder to link them in terms of experiences of political repression and the evolution of each of the stories. The synthesis of this collective memory will be given to the Museo de la Memoria as a contribution to the oral file of the museum.The aim is to make
 visible the harm in a child youth at the detention and disappearance of the parent. Share these individual stories and how they marked their development on a social and emotional level and finally analyze and contribute to the discussion of collective mem
ory respect and promotion of human rights.
Support to the achievement of water and sanitation MDGs The Water and Sanitation Programme (WSP) is managed by the World Bank and its main objective is to scale up water and sanitation services to poor people. WSP is a global organization but the largest regional programme is in Africa where access to water sup
ply and safe sanitation are lowest. Finland has supported the Africa programme in 2009-2011 and based on the positive experiences it was deciced to continue the support in 2012-15 (Trust Fund number 70958).
