Fostering Urban Youth Green Skilling for Urban Resilience This project seeks to equip urban youths with contemporary on-demand technical and vocational skills that will increase incomes to contribute to their resilience building to economic and climate change shocks. A total of 150 youths aged between 18 and 34 will be the targeted individuals using a ratio of 60% female and 40% male. From this group, a dedicated 10% will be earmarked for youths living with disabilities. Career guidance of young people will be conducted by Silveira House to assist young people to select the trades that will be on offer. A career guidance fair will be organised where private sector will be engaged and display their products while providing young people an opportunity to understand a particular trade in intricate detail. Trades on offer will be put into 2 categories namely “Agro-based Green Jobs” and “Vocational Skills Green Jobs”. In the “Agro-based Green Jobs” category, the project will offer Fishpond construction/hydroponics/aquaponics framing and fabrication, fishpond designing and farming and rabbit farming while in the “Vocational Skills Green Jobs” category, the project will offer solar system installation (electrical and geysers), welding, cosmetology, electronics and building. Young people will be required to choose 1 trade from each category.  This strategy has been adopted because agro-based trades take time for young people to realise an income while the vocational skills have a short turnaround time to realise an income.  The “Agro-based Green Jobs skills trainings will be premised at Kuwadzana Major Park where Silveira House has already set up demonstration aquaponics and fishponds. The proposed project will equip youths' hands on skills as they fabricate commercial aquaponic systems, fishpond construction, rabbit cages and rabbit farming. The “Vocational Skills Green Jobs” skills training will be hosted at Silveira House. Trades namely cosmetology, building, electronics, welding and solar systems installation will be led by industry experts that Silveira House has worked with over the years. A 14-day training period will be allocated for each trade based on past Silveira House experience. Soft skills in financial literacy and mindset shift through Training for Transformation will be led by Silveira House. Leadership and advocacy skills will be transferred to the youths to help them advocate safe workspaces from the local authority to practice their skills and earn an income. Each of the young people will be required to undergo a 2 months' work-related learning in commercial entities for them to learn more and gain more skills from the industry.   Post the work-related learning, selected young people will receive 35 start up kits to grow their business. A criterion to receive the startup kits will be developed but key aspects will include completing 2 months' work-related learning and ability to co-contribute 10% towards the purchase of the startup kit.
Capacity strengthening initiative for local, national NGOs and Community Based Organizations in South Sudan Summary State
Capacity strengthening among local partners, C4C and non C4C Endorsers in South Sudan is commonly focused on learning events that improve the technical skills in certain thematic focus areas. Conversations among the national, local and community-based organizations indicate the need for a focused and long-term organizational capacity strengthening and development approach beyond technical programmatic competencies alone. Lack of overhead costs in their partnerships also give chance to staff retention challenges to maintain key technical staff, hence reducing their ability to attract them again. This third phase of the capacity initiative will target new and diverse C4C Endorsers with capacity strengthening activities that will include financial management (QuickBooks), Human Resources and Procurement management training, governance and leadership followed by coaching of the former benefited C4C Endorsers
Problem Statement
Several key informants from local actors noted that majority of capacity building and strengthening activities have been focusing on one-off technical skills training. In contrast, long-term mentoring, coaching and a focus on institutional capacity strengthening for NNGOs sustainability is needed to advance the localization agenda. Limited institutional capacity to absorb funding is recognized as a critical challenge. A significant number of local and national actors face weak operational capacity and lack of internal controls. This key challenge makes it difficult for local actors to provide the level of financial accountability required by international donors
Project Justification 
Local and national NGOs play a key role in reaching people in need of humanitarian assistance and their central role as articulated in the Grand Bargain has become more apparent as they can more readily access affected communities. National NGOs have the advantage of closely observing and understanding the needs of the affected communities and tailoring generic interventions to better match the needs. They communicate in the local languages and there is a commensurate level of trust, which comes from this interaction. Such advantages situate them in an advantageous position to provide relevant and contextualized services these communities need in contradiction to the internationally led, at times socio-culturally out of step, humanitarian assistance.
Project Goal and Objectives
To enhance organizational capacity of local and national NGOs C4C Endorsers in South Sudan
Objectives
To identify and address C4C Endorsers organizational priority needs for immediate capacity-strengthening interventions by the end of the project period.
To design and implement specific capacity strengthening needs for selected C4C Endorsers
Climate YES and youth engagement phase II Continuation of PRJ 1407 but hosted now by a new partner
Building Community Resilience through Transparent County Climate Finance (BCORT) The project seeks to enhance capacity of right holders in Kisumu County on policy frameworks and strengthen policy dialogue between CSOs and county government officials over the formulation and implementation of county level climate change policy frameworks to deliver climate finance.  The project will also enhance community involvement in the implementation of climate finances, enhance knowledge and understanding on climate finance, adopt relevant and appropriate tools for climate financing tracking and share knowledge and experiences on locally led adaptation for replication. The local communities will develop their own Ward Climate Adaptation Plans (WCAPs) to enable them respond to climate change both proactively and reactively, establishing clear and specific adaptation goals based on the identified risks and vulnerabilities during the Participatory Climate Risk Assessment (PCRA). The plans could also be used to source and attract for other climate finance for locally led adaptation from the county and beyond.
The proposed project seeks to ensure effectiveness of climate finance within Kisumu County in shaping locally led climate actions to reduce vulnerability to climate change and enhance community resilience. This will be achieved through empowering the local communities through the ward climate change planning committees (WCCPC) to identify initiatives that best fit the needs of the wards as well as oversee the implementation of proposed projects. This will contribute to strong community members involvement of youth, women and men in the planning and prioritization of climate funds, design and implementation of interventions. Ultimately, the communities will be able to create, access and use climate finance from varied sources in order to reduce their vulnerability and build their resilience to climate change. 
The project will strengthen capacity of right holders as well as hold multistakeholder policy dialogue workshops between CSOs and county government officials over the formulation and implementation of county level climate change policy frameworks to deliver climate finance noting possible gaps and overlaps for consideration. In addition, the project will rally Kisumu County CSOs to work closely together with the Kisumu County government to ensure transparency and accountability of climate funds. This will be done through media engagement, CSOs convenings, trainings, development of County Climate Finance scorecard, holding strategic dialogues with relevant government institutions and lastly there will be knowledge and experience sharing on locally led climate adaptation and climate risk management practices and community climate adaptation planning in selected wards.

Strengthening the capacity of Women and Youth in Peace Building in Malakal and Juba Problem statement:
South Sudan has a protracted history of conflict that has led to loss of lives, deep economic and political turmoil, and widespread violence, as the social fabric of the country has been torn apart. In 2018 a peace agreement was signed which was intended to bring an end to the conflict, leading to a power sharing arrangement and heralding in prospective elections, but progress on its implementation remains painfully slow, and worryingly many parties at all levels have started to lose faith in the peace process.  
In the interim, violence has only intensified. Overlapping conflicts over resources, power and identity have undermined people’s ability to feed themselves and created widespread hunger, displaced whole communities, weakened basic services, and led to widening political and ethnic divisions. As negotiations continue at the national level, at regional and local level it is evident that the following pressing issues need to be addressed to have any chance of successful implementation of the peace agreement.
Justification of the project 
The project is a good fit with Christian aid corporate priorities, and it is directly contributing to realization of Christian’s aid political justice and peace building work “As in South Sudan vulnerable women and youths are the most marginalized group of people experiencing the worst effects of the conflicts in South Sudan due to inter-communal violence, revenge attack etc. Therefore, in line with Christian Aid 3Ps (poverty, power, and prophetic voice) approach as its priorities the poorest who are most vulnerable to impact of conflicts and climatic shocks by amplifying their voices through working in collaboration with faith-based networks and likeminded alliances, shifting power in favor of the poor at risk of adverse impact of conflicts. PRDA will work in close collaboration with faith actors, harnessing their role as influencers and mobilizers to build strong and inclusive peace building and reconciliation process in order to end intercommunal conflicts at grassroots level. The project will contribute to realization of Christian AID global results frame outcome and priorities. PRDA as part of the Presbyterian Church and other international actors have in the past intermittently participated in various peace and reconciliation meetings that were to a greater extend successful.

Serve Now sclr ACT Christian Aid’s signature in Ukraine is cash first, including micro grants through the survivor and community led response (sclr) with the goal to link response, preparedness, and recovery. This project is continuing the approach, delivered by Blythswood's partner Serve Now, who have not completed sclr previously. 
The survivor and community-led response (sclr) approach encourages and empowers crisis-affected communities to identify and implement initiatives in ways that improve their immediate well-being, addresses root causes to the crisis, strengthen longer-term resilience, and accelerate social cohesion by focusing on the natural creativity and capacities of the affected communities. These communities fund initiatives using community micro-grants. The micro-grants will strengthen the scope, scale, and impact of autonomous collective self-help groups among crisis-affected people to complement otherwise externally led humanitarian response.
