TZ NOW US-Inequality Disruptors As a result of social cultural practices such as patriarchy, women in the lake zone region, particularly in Mwanza, are often regarded as individuals of a lower class and are perceived as someone whose primary responsibilities are to care for the family and bear children. While the vast majority of the men folk are engaged in either smallscale agricultural practices, business, or employment. The household chores of the women take up the majority of their time, and they are not given a voice in the decisions that affect their families. They are also prevented from obtaining a higher education and are wholly reliant on their male counterparts. In addition, they are forced to take the burden of the majority of social ills, such as dowry systems and domesticabuse. The majority of the women in the Isamilo ward of Mwanza are actively engaging in unpaid work. As a result, the majority of the activities these women participate in are for subsistence purposes rather than activities that result in income. This contributes to a cycle of poverty amongwomen in the lake zone and an increased gap of inequality, particularly with regard to access to and ownership of productive resources. Now Us Cooperative has the intention of putting into action a project that will raise awareness about women's rights to employment and access to productive resources such as land and properties. The goal of this project is to make a long-term improvement in the quality of life of women who are socially marginalized. Our effort will begin by organizing and forming three self-saving groups inside the Isamilo ward. Each of these groups should have ten different women participating. After that, we will offer training on leadership skills and financial literacy. This training should encompass the process of saving money and skills for managing finances. At the meeting of the villagers, we will organize and lead a session to raise awareness and sensitization about women's rights to access to employment and their contribution to the growth ofthe economy at the home level. We will organize a group meeting and approach financial institutions, local government agencies (LGAs), and other interested partners about supporting the three groups with seed capital that will be repaid without interest.One example of a stakeholder that we will engage with is an Islamic bank, which isone type of lender that does not charge interest on loans. In addition, we have plans to provide mentoring and coaching services towomen in order to ensure that they aresuccessful in running their existing businesses, which will allow them to pay back the loans they have received and carry on with their other revenue-generating endeavours.
Africa Albinism Network The purpose of this project/Network is to: 1) Develop a concrete movement of persons with albinism in Africa to drive implementation of the AU’s Plan of Action on albinism (2021-2031). 2) Support a professional Africa-based regional advocacy body at the core of the movement that strategically advocates for the implementation of the Plan of Action at the national level. Priority strategy is the replication of the “Kenya Model” namely the use of advocacy, lobbying and training support to move government and relevant stakeholders to adopt a national action plan on albinism (based on the regional Plan of Action) and with an annual budget to ensure implementation. 3) Promote effective leadership in organizations representing persons with albinism to drive theabove two goals. 4) Producereliable data for decision-making and for driving goals 1 and 2 above. Persons with albinism “don’t die, they disappear.” This is the myth propagated in several African countries, where persecution and discrimination against persons with albinism—who are demonized,dehumanized, and whose body parts are believed to possess magical powers—has spread (from 20 to 29 countries in the last decade). In the past two years, there continues to be reports of violence, including mutilation,and killing, kidnapping, grave desecration and trafficking in body parts of persons with albinism for witchcraft purposes including in countries where such had never/rarely beenreported, for example, Mali, Togo and Zambia. The cross-border nature of these incidents has also been reported. While several civil society organizations, UN mechanisms, and the diplomatic corps are contributing to addressing this issue, these efforts have historically been uncoordinated and ad-hoc. The UN Independent Expert onalbinism, Ms. Ikponwosa Ero (Nigeria), a woman with albinism herself, has, since her appointment in 2015, played a pivotal role in supporting the convening a wide range of actors, supporting national-level grassroots responses to attacks and discrimination,and mounting a game-changing communications strategy that challenges thevery myths and misperceptions upon which the discrimination and attacks are based. She has also led the development of a Regional Action Plan (2017-2021 and monitored online at actiononalbinsim.org). That Plan has guided interventions to date leading to several successful case studies and the reduction of attacks in some countries. Since then, the Expert has successfully lobbied the AU to adopt and extend the Plan to 2031. Thereforein 2019, the African Union Plan of Action was adopted by the Executive Council of the AU with the time frame of 2021-2031. At the same meeting, the AU also decided to appoint a Special Envoy on albinism, an honorary post todrive implementation at high-level meetings and within Member States of the African Union. Several regional outfits have emerged inthe last 5 years to address the human rights violations faced by persons with albinism in Africa but none have been sustained due to lack of support andresources: both technical and financial. All of these will be approached to collaborate in the proposed Network.
Support elderly to access formal SP HelpAge Cambodia (HAC) is a Cambodian non-government organization working with and for older people.

CO-VN Sida FFA II Vietnam Program The Fair Finance Asia Program (FFA) envisages to reduce the negative impact of national and cross-border bank investments in Asia on human rights, the environment and climate change, and to increase adequate financial services for pro-poor, inclusive economic development. The goal is to establish a sustainable financial sector in Asia, with financial sector institutions operating at national and regional level being more transparent and accountable and adhering to Economic, Social and Governance (ESG)-criteria. FFA is funded by Sida.

This project is implemented by Oxfam in Vietnam. It envisages to contribute to FFA by promoting environmental and social responsibility of commercial banks who are investing environmentally and socially sensitive projectssuch as coal power. They prioritize the energy sector, since this makes up the majority of regional loans to Vietnam and has the largest environmental impacts. In this project, the FFG coalition of Oxfam and partners in Vietnam will adopt the Fair FinanceGuide (FFG) to assess investment policies of Vietnamese and foreign banks investing in the coal power sector and do an in-depth study to assess environmental performance of some selected commercial banks. When investigating Vietnamese and foreign banks investing in coal power sectors, the Vietnamese coalition will specifically target Japanese banks, which are the 2nd largest investors in coal power plants in Vietnam: JBIC, Mitsubishi (MUFG), Mizuho, Sumitomo Mitsui (SMBC). Later they will also extend advocacy on coal power to banks from Vietnam, China, and other countries to the extent this is possible within the scope of FFA. Another focus is on Vietnamese banks investing in cross-border projects on hydropower, agriculture, and other issues: Vietinbank,others. Regionally, the Vietnamese coalition will join with Thailand and other countries targeting regional banks investing in hydropower (i.e. the six Thai banks funding the Xayaburi dam in Laos: Bankgok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, Krung Thai Bank, Siam Commercial Bank, TISCO, and EXIM bank).
CO-Support Partners & Alliance Building Oxfam in Cambodia will lead and coordinate in implementation this initiative call: Inclusive national social protection initiativesthat respond to the needs of apparel industry employees (INSPIRE)
