FCA: Mideeye, Support of the National Reconciliation and Local Governance in Somalia Kirkon ulkomaanapu: Mideeye sovintoprosessien ja paikallishallinnon tuki Somaliassa Inclusive decision-making processes and trust towards the government institutions are necessery when building a stable and peaceful Somalia. Finn Church Aid (FCA) in partnership with the Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers is implementing a  Mideeye project. The project works for a more stable and peaceful Somalia, recognizing that genuine national reconciliation and inclusive governance are two reinforcing and interrelated processes, crucial for peace and state building. 

  

 FCA and the Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers have been active in mediation and local-level democratization and institution building in Somalia for several years. Since 2017, FCA has supported the ministry responsible for the implementation of the National Reconciliation Framework (NRF) at the request of the Somali government. Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland has supported the FCA?s reconciliation project with 1,3 million Euros during the years 2018-2021. External evaluation from the year 2020 states, that the project has been highly successful in achieving the central objective to establish a NRF and to advance reconciliation.

  

 Funding for Mideeye project is part of MFA's Country Programme for Somalia. Mideeye project is in line with Country Programme's objectives concerning state building and peace building. The support for the Mideeye project is 4,5 million euros for the years 2021-2024. Rauhallisen ja vakaan Somalian saavuttamiseksi tarvitaan kansan luottamusta nauttiva hallitus, hyvän hallinnon periaatteen mukaan toimivat hallintojärjestelmät ja kaikille kansalaisille yhtäläiset mahdollisuudet osallistua päätöksentekoon.  Kirkon Ulkomaanavun (KUA) ja ja Uskonnollisten ja perinteisten toimijoiden rauhanverkoston toimeenpanema sovinto- ja paikallishallintohanke Mideeye pyrkii puuttumaan näihin ongelmiin tukemalla kansallista sovintoprosessia sekä vahvistamalla inklusiivista hallintoa. 

KUA ja Uskonnollisten ja perinteisten toimijoiden rauhanverkosto ovat toimineet Somaliassa rauhanvälityksen ja paikallistason demokratian ja instituutioiden kehittämisen alalla vuosien ajan. Vuodesta 2017 lähtien KUA on Somalian hallituksen pyynnöstä tukenut sovintoprosessin vastuuministeriönä toimivaa sisäministeriötä sovintoprosessin edistämisessä. Ulkoministeriö on tukenut työtä vuosien 2018-2021 aikana yhteensä noin 1,3 miljoonalla eurolla. Vuonna 2020 tehty evaluaatio toteaa, että hanke on onnistunut keskeisissä tavoitteissaan hyvin.

Mideeye-hankkeen rahoitus on osa Suomen Somalian maaohjelmaa, ja se tukee maaohjelman keskeisiä rauhan- ja valtionrakennukseen liittyviä tavoitteita. Suomen tuki hankkeelle on 4,5 miljoonaa euroa vuosille 2021-2024.
Support to the programme of work of the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes Tuki UNECE:n rajavesisopimuksen työohjelmalle The Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (1992) creates a framework for regional transboundary water cooperation. UNECE Water Convention aims to protect and ensure the quantity, quality and sustainable use of transboundary water resources by facilitating cooperation. The Convention reduces conflicts and enhances security. It prevents and reduces pollution with transboundary impact.

 

 The Convention turned into a universally available legal framework for transboundary water cooperation, following the entry into force of amendments in 2016, opening it to all UN Member States. Several ODA eligible countries have joined the Convention or are interested in ratifying the Convention, which adds to the global impact the Convention has in promoting transboundary water cooperation.

 

 Finland has an active role in global transboundary cooperation. Finland has co-operated with the UNECE Water Convention Secretariat on policy issues and the MFA has also financed UNECE water projects in Central Asia. Finland is represented in the Water Convention Bureau as well as the most important working groups.

 

 The proposed support to the UNECE Water Convention Programme of work for 2022-2024 will be directed to the implementation of the programme of work as a whole with ODA eligible countries as direct beneficiaries. YK:n alaisen Euroopan talouskomission (UNECE) rajavesisopimus (1992) luo puitteet alueelliselle rajavesistöyhteistyölle. UNECE:n rajavesisopimus edistää merkittävällä tavalla rajavesistöjen oikeudenmukaista käyttöä, suojelua ja yhteistyötä sopimuspuolten kesken. Sopimus vähentää konflikteja, lisää turvallisuutta sekä edistää vesivarojen kestävää käyttöä. Sopimus ehkäisee ja vähentää sellaista vesien pilaantumista, jonka vaikutukset ulottuvat maasta toiseen.

Myös UNECE:n ulkopuoliset YK-maat voivat liittyä sopimukseen vuonna 2016 voimaan astuneen sopimusmuutoksen ansiosta ja useat ODA-kelpoiset maat ovat liittyneet tai kiinnostuneita liittymään sopimukseen. Sopimuksella on näin ollen maailmanlaajuista merkitystä rajavesiyhteistyön edistäjänä.
Suomi on aktiivinen toimija globaalissa rajavesiyhteistyössä. 

Suomi on tehnyt pitkään politiikkatason yhteistyötä UNECE:n rajavesisopimuksen sihteeristön kanssa, minkä lisäksi UM on aiemmin rahoittanut UNECE:n rajavesihankkeita Keski-Aasiassa. Suomi on vahvasti edustettuna rajavesisopimuksen byroossa sekä keskeisissä työryhmissä.

F.a: Laos Country Programme Laos maaohjelma Global deforestation in Laos poses major threats to biodiversity, wildlife and human livelihoods. In addition, Laos is a hotspot of illegal wildlife and timber trade and has insufficient funds and resources for conservation and environmental management. The project operates in the Annamites landscape area, one of the largest natural forest areas in the Mekong region and rich in biodiversity. Local residents in and around the protected area are dependent on natural resources for livelihoods, medicines and housing. They often belong to ethnic minorities who are economically and socially marginalized and have poor access to public services and markets. The project aims to promote the sustainable production of, for example, coffee as a solution to the deterioration of ecosystems. The aim of the project is to expand the pilot project of the previous program, which strengthened afforestation and forest resource management led by local communities and improved the protection of natural resources while diversifying livelihoods. The next step builds on the lessons and experiences already gained and the relationships created. In cooperation with WWF Finland, WWF Laos will be able to expand the project to cover 20 communities and two protected areas. The project focuses on engaging communities in forest management and restoration and supporting a holistic approach to tackling deforestation and forest degradation. Implementor: WWF Laos Partner: Local governments Metsäkato on Laosissa merkittävä uhka biodiversiteetille, villieläimille sekä ihmisten toimeentulolle. Lisäksi Laosissa on runsaasti laitonta villieläin- sekä puutavarakauppaa ja puutteelliset varat sekä resurssit luonnonsuojeluun ja ympäristöhallintoon. 
Ohjelma toimii Keski-Laosissa Annamites -alueella, joka kuuluu Mekongin alueen merkittävimpiin luonnonmetsäalueisiin ja on biodiversiteetiltään rikas. Suojelualueiden sisällä sekä ympärillä elävät paikallisyhteisöt ovat voimakkaasti riippuvaisia luonnonvaroista. He kuuluvat usein etnisiin vähemmistöihin, jotka ovat taloudellisesti ja sosiaalisesti syrjäisessä asemassa, ja joilla on heikko pääsy julkisten palveluiden ja markkinoiden äärelle myös hyvin syrjäisen sijaintinsa vuoksi. Ohjelman avulla pyritään edistämään metisen suojelua ja ennallistamista, monipuolisten viljelymenetelmien kehittämistä sekä esimerkiksi kahvin kestävää pientuotanto ruokaturvan ja toimeentulon parantamiseksi.
Ohjelman tavoitteena on laajentaa edellisen ohjelman pilottihanketta, jossa vahvistettiin paikallisten yhteisöjen toteuttamaa metsien istuttamista ja metsäresurssien hallinnoimista sekä parannettiin luonnonvarojen suojelua samalla monipuolistaen kestäviä metsiin pohjautuvia elinkeinoja sekä peltometsäviljelyä. Seuraava vaihe rakentaa jo saatujen oppien ja kokemusten sekä luotujen suhteiden pohjalle. Ohjelma keskittyy sitouttamaan yhteisöjä metsien hallinnoimiseen ja ennallistamiseen sekä tukemaan holistista lähestymistapaa metsäkatoon ja luonnon heikkenemiseen vastaamisessa.

Humanitarian Assistance; UNHCR; support to UNHCR's Sahel operation Humanitaarinen apu; UNHCR; tuki UNHCR:n Sahelin alueelliselle operaatiolle Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland supports UNHCR?s Sahel operation with 3 million euros.

 

 Sahel is one of the fastest growing refugee crises in the world. At the same time, it is one of the most forgotten humanitarian crises.

 

 Instability is rooted in poor social and economic conditions. Poor food security is testing vast areas. The situation in Sahel is further aggravated by extreme climate conditions, rapid population growth and COVID-19. The State?s presence is lacking in extensive areas. Violence has forced millions of to flee from their homes.

 

 The challenging situation in the Sahel region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Tshad) has a direct impact on the security of the EU?s neighbouring areas, the EU and, consequently, Finland.

 

 UNHCR provides shelter and emergency relief supplies and supports victims of increased sexual and gender-based violence. The organization also helps people to access education and works to mitigate climate change Sahel on yksi maailman nopeimmin kasvavista pakolaiskriiseistä. Samalla se on yksi unohdetuimmista humanitaarisista kriiseistä.

Epävakauden juuret ovat huonoissa sosiaalisissa ja taloudellisissa oloissa. Heikko ruokaturva koettelee laajoja alueita. Äärimmäiset ilmasto-olosuhteet, nopea väestönkasvu ja COVID-19 pahentavat tilannetta entisestään. Valtion läsnäolo puuttuu kokonaan laajoilta alueilta. Väkivaltaisuudet ovat pakottaneet miljoonat ihmiset pakenemaan kodeistaan. 

Sahelin alueen (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Tshad) haastava tilanne vaikuttaa suoraan EU:n lähialueiden, EU:n ja sitä kautta Suomen turvallisuuteen.

UNHCR tarjoaa alueella suojaa ja hätäaputarvikkeita, tukee lisääntyneen seksuaalisen ja sukupuolittuneen väkivallan uhreja. Järjestö auttaa ihmisiä myös koulutuksen pariin sekä toimii ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutusten hillitsemiseksi.
Development of Tajik Surface Water Monitoring by Quality Management and Collaboration, FinWaterWEI III SYKE/Vesialan yhteistyö Keski-Aasiassa FinWaterWEI III Since 2009, the Finnish Environment Institute has been implementing Finnish-funded development cooperation projects in Central Asian countries. The ICI project ?Development of Tajik Surface Water Monitoring by Quality Management and Collaboration? is a continuation of the FinWater WEI (Wider European Initiative), Programme for FinlandŽs Water Sector Support. Phase I of the program was be implemented between 2009 and 2013 in 11 different countries in Eastern Europe, the Southern Caucasus and Central Asia, and phase II in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan in 2014-2019.

 

 The programme has supported the sustainable and equitable management of water resources. Through the programme, the environmental sustainability, availability of clean drinking water and sanitation have been supported. The ICI project will continue the work already commenced in Tajikistan, with special focus in the monitoring of surface water quality. The project has a strong emphasis on capacity building of the Committee on Environmental Protection (CEP) and ensures the sustainability of the results already achieved. With the help of this project, capacity of the institutions is strengthened, the field is modernized and the staff is trained. The project also promotes adapting to climate change. The budget of the project is 750 000 euros. Suomen ympäristökeskus on toteuttanut Suomen rahoittamia kehitysyhteistyöhankkeita Keski-Aasian maissa vuodesta 2009 alkaen. Vuosina 2020-2023 toteutettava vesialan IKI-hanke on jatkoa Suomen rahoittamalle vesisektorin strategisen vaikuttamisen ohjelmalle FinWater WEI (Wider European Initiative). Ohjelman I-vaihe toteutettiin vuosina 2009-2013 11 eri Itä-Euroopan, Etelä-Kaukasian ja Keski-Aasian valtiossa ja II-vaihe Kirgisiassa ja Tadzhikistanissa vuosina 2014-2019. 

Ohjelman tuella on kehitetty vesivarojen kestävää ja oikeudenmukaista hallintaa ja tällä tavoin tuettu ympäristön kestävyyteen, puhtaaseen juomaveteen ja sanitaatioon liittyvien tavoitteiden saavuttamista. IKI-hanke jatkaa aiemmissa vaiheissa aloitettua työtä Tadzhikistanissa keskittyen erityisesti pintavesien laadun seurantaan. Hanke on koulutuspainotteinen kapasiteetin vahvistamishanke ja varmistaa aiemmissa vaiheissa saavutettujen tulosten kestävyyttä. Hankkeessa vahvistetaan kansallisen viranomaisen Committee on Environmental Protection (CEP) kapasiteettia, modernisoidaan alaa ja koulutetaan henkilöstöä. Hanke edistää myös kykyä sopeutua ilmastonmuutokseen. Hankkeen budjetti on 750 000 euroa.

Strenghtening livelihoods and improving food security of Turkana women in Kangathotha and Kerio ward Ruokaturvaa ja parempaa toimeentuloa turkana-naisille Kangatothan ja Kerion alueilla Hunger is a constant threat in Kenya?s arid north. Recurrent droughts and changing rainfall patterns caused by climate change have aggravated the vulnerability of the pastoralist communities, leading to loss of assets and food insecurity. The traditional reliance on natural resources for food and livelihood of Turkana people, the historic marginalization of the region, and the lack of infrastructure make them especially vulnerable to any changes in the environment. Women bear the brunt of adverse impacts of climate change. A lack of viable livelihood alternatives has led many households to resort to livelihood practices that further undermine the livelihoods base, creating a vicious cycle that further contributes to poverty and food insecurity.

 The project aims to address the problem of food and livelihoods insecurity that is experienced by poor pastoralists communities in Kerio and Kangathotha wards of Turkana Central Sub-county, and by women and children in particular. This will be achieved through strengthening and diversification of livelihoods alternatives:

 Training women in beekeeping and honey processing as well as basket weaving and improving the access to markets for honey and baskets; improving the local goat breed by introducing into the mixture breeds that increase meat and milk production and helping women to establish Savings and Internal Lending Community groups.

 These activities will be carried out in 18 women groups in six communities, altogether 540 women will be trained. Indirectly 3240 persons will benefit from the project. The project will particularly empower women who have traditionally had the burden of providing for their families while not having the same rights as men.

 The project will be mainly implemented by Caritas Lodwar, for the basket weaving component in cooperation with Mifuko Oy. Caritas Finland will provide consultative help in beekeeping development. 

 The expected development impact is that the women participating in the project will be more resilient and adaptable and they will contribute to their family?s long term food security and sustainable livelihoods.
