Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) Poor access to education with regard to poor literacy rates and skills development is one of the biggest problems Sierra Leone. It is estimated that only around 43% of the adult population (over 15 years) are literate (male 55%, female 33%). Girls? school 
dropout is particularly significant causes being for example parents? inability to purchase school materials and cultural practices such as early marriage. Women and girls are very often discriminated against in the rural areas in Sierra Leone in education
 and employment. The districts of Koinadugu and Bombali suffer from lack of adequate opportunities for basic education and access to livelihood opportunities, and women clearly trail behind their male counterparts with regards access to and control over pr
oductive assets, skills and education.The overall objective of the project is to increase the economic and social well-being of vulnerable girls and women in Makeni and Kabala towns in Sierra Leone. Vulnerable women and girls who have had limited access to
 education and often have poor literacy skills are offered a so called ?second chance? to learn vocational skills that are relevant to the current and future employment market and enhance small business opportunities for beneficiaries. New vocational skill
s together with improved life and literacy skills contribute to graduates empowerment, increased self-confidence and contribute to reduced vulnerability.Skills training centres in Kabala and Makeni town provide training in dressmaking, weaving, textile dye
ing, catering and hospitality trades and agriculture. Curriculum content in training centres will include entrepreneurial skills development and incorporate on-the-job training/internships (with external outlets) and production learning opportunities (cent
re based outlet). Adult literacy and numeracy classes and kindergarten/creche services are also provided at the skills training centres.Rights-holders /beneficiaries: Rural and urban girls and young womenImplementing partner: Forum for African Women Educat

Refugee Consortium of Kenya The Refugee Consortium of Kenya is a registered national Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) under registration certificate NO. OP.218/051/2004/0230/3356. RCK was initiated in 1998 in response to the increasingly complex refugee situation in Kenya. The cor
e mandate of RCK is promoting and protecting refugee rights in Kenya and in the East Africa region through provision of legal aid in Kenyan courts of law on asylum related matters, legal counseling and advice in the refugee status determination (RSD) proce
ss, advocacy for creation of refugee-friendly policies and laws and promoting and monitoring the protection of refugee rights through research and documentation.Kenya is host to approximately 579790 refugees and asylum seekers from the Horn of Africa and t
he Great Lakes Region. Of these over 70% are women and children. Majority of refugees and asylum seekers are found in 3 main locations namely Dadaab refugee camp Kakuma refugee camp and Nairobi for urban refugees. Whereas Garissa town is settled by pockets
 of refugees it is a major transit point for asylum seekers and refugees to and from Somalia Dadaab and other urban areas. The participatory assessment conducted by UNHCR on 19th February 2014 revealed that women continue to face risk of GBV as a result of
 insecurity in the camps inadequate alternative sources of fuel that force women to go fetch firewood in the bush where women are raped by bandits. Current interactions with clients in our legal aid clinics continue to confirm the same. This indicates ther
e is a continued need for GBV response and preventions. The UNHCR Comprehensive Needs Assessment report highlighted the need to increase support and accessibility of services to persons with disabilities.The main objectives of the proposed project: ?To inc
rease access to justice and legal assistance for refugees and members of host communities? survivors of SGBV within Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps and Garissa by August 2015,?To improve access of psychosocial support to survivors of SGBV within Kakuma ref
ugee camp and Garissa by August 2015?To enhance protection monitoring of transit corridors for cases on SGBV and trafficking in persons by August 2015

Frame agreement with NGO (Suomen Lahetysseura ry) The project is a wide and integral community development initiative in six kebeles in Sailem, all of them having a Manjo minority. In Kafa Zone, this ethnic minority is traditionally a discriminated and despised people living in the margins of the society.
 The project aims to promote peaceful coexistence and cooperation between the peoples and improve the socio-economic situation of the Manjo. There are about 20 000 beneficiaries of the Saylem woreda that benefit from the project annually. The activities in
clude organizing local discussion forums, improving agricultural productivity (e.g. apple and vegetable production, coffee management), improving the school environment and supporting  the education of destitute students and persons with disabilities, prov
iding trainings on environmental and health issues, improving income generation opportunities for women and the youth, improving access to water, and building capacity of the partner organization. The implementing agency is the Ethiopian Evangelical Church
 Mekane Yesus / Illubabor Bethel Synod Development and Social Services Commission (EECMY-DASSC-IBS) in Mettu.
New energy sources for enhancing living conditions of disadvantageous groups in Patagonia The project supports sustainable development in the Argentinean Patagonia by enhancing usage of removable energy and recycling of biowaste. It's executed in two localities, in the village of Chacay Oeste in the province of Chubut and in the town of Sierra 
Grande in the province of Rio Negro. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gases by replacing fossil fuels by environment friendly and simple sun energy technology and by promoting recycling of organic waste. The purpose is to enhance the living conditions of di
sadvantageous citizens and promote sustainable development. The specific objective is to safeguard the functions of a village school in Chacay Oeste by guaranteeing the supply of energy for its needs.In Chacay Oeste live approximately 60 members of the ind
igenous people's community Mapuche-Tehuelche. The village has the only school available for the children from the surroundings and it has around 50 pupils who come from the village and farer away from the steppe area. The number of inhabitants of the villa
ge has been growing for actions taken to promote school attendance of children in rural areas. This has caused such an increase in energy consumption that the school faces trouble in reception of energy. There isn't alternative energy source available for 
it and the capacity of the village isn't enough to satisfy the energy needs of the entire village.  These problems endanger the function of the school and the education of numerous pupils from the steppe area. Through this project the school and the whole 
village will be benefitted by better supply of energy with sun energy collectors and ovens. Also compost heaps will be installed for the recycling of biowaste. The community members will be capacitated of the maintenance and usage of the installations as w
ell as separation of waste.In Sierra Grande with approximately 7600 habitants the project concentrates on capacitation of disadvantageous  groups with limited resources local civic organizations and for example technicians from the provincial and municipal
 environment office. Also in Sierra Grande sun collectors and ovens and compost heaps will be installed in most disadvantageous neighborhoods. The local government has committed to support and enhance project's activities in order to secure them in the fut
ure as well. The experiences gained thought the project will be taken advantage later on by replicating its activities in other small urban centers of the region.
Active labour market programmes 2 The development cooperation budget of Finland for Kosovo is 15 million euros annually. The sum includes the local cooperation funds for 300 000 euros per year. The themes of other Finnish supported projects in Kosovo are economy and employment. Unemploymen
t is one of the biggest problems in Kosovo. Youth unemployment is a big challenge in Kosovo and women's unemployment rate is generally high compared to the unemployment rate of men. PWDs' and minorities' employment situation is poor. Active labour market p
rogrammes 2 will increase employment by developing the labour market system in Kosovo taking into account the gender aspect and participation of the most vulnerable groups.The project aims at strengthening of the links between labour market actors -employe
rs job-seekers policy-makers public employment services and vocational training and educational institutions -through:a) improving human capacities and financial resourcesb) continued implementation of active labour measures for vulnerable groupsc) enhance
ment of the labour market knowledge base in order to ensure evidence-based decision makingUNDP has supported the employment sector of Kosovo since 2005. UNDP has organised training and employment opportunities for 11 000 long-term unemployed women and men 
in cooperation with aroung 3500 private companies. According to the evaluations the activities have been successful. After the project the employment rate of the beneficiaries has remained remarkably higher that the employment rate of the control group. Fi
nnish supported projects on Gender based violence and Sustainable development in Dragash have also had employment components implemented.The recommendations of the appraisal will be taken into account in the project.Kosovo is not a priority development coo
peration partner of Finland and Finnish funded projects are implemented mainly through international organisations -in this case through UNDP. The proposed Finnish contribution for the project is 12 million euros for the years 2014-2016.
MYA/Support to Democratic development and Rule of Law building in Myanmar Finland supports the UNDP Pillar III programme which aims to support building democracy and rule of law in Myanmar. UNDP's structures procedures and processes are familiar to Finland. UNDP's country programme for Myanmar corresponds to the principles and c
onditions supporting Finland's preparations.UNDP has created close relations to Myanmar's central government. UNDP's neutral and objective profile helps maintain reliable contacts. UNDP brings several donors together and creates a framework for the aid coo
rdination through the country programme. The programme also provides a setting for dialogue on different levels from the central government to the local communities. It is particularly important because good governance is not itself part of the aid archite
cture where the government would be participating.UNDP's country programme is directly aligned with the principles of Finland's Development Policy Programme. The higher development goal is strengthening of democratic institutions and advancing of human rig
hts with the democratic governance and rule of law development. The cross cutting themes are human rights based approach gender equality and strengthening of the status of women as well as southern cooperation.
Frame agreement with NGO (CMI) Over the past five years, CMI has developed methods and tools that are specifically designed to enable broader engagement in the planning and implementation of dialogue, conflict resolution and policy processes. The methods and tools that CMI develops and 
deploys have a special feature of addressing complexity of conflicts. Typically resolution of conflicts requires support on three particular phases: i) promotion of dialogue and confidence building, ii) analysis and negotiations, and iii) implementation of
 agreements. For example CMI's methods are designed to allow the conflict parties themselves i) ensure wider inclusion to problem identification and solving, ii) to do better analysis and facilitate structured negotiations and iii) implement agreements tog
ether by mitigating further conflict. The methods are always crafted to take into consideration simultaneously multiple viewpoints to multiple issues as well as multiple interests of stakeholders. This project strengthens the development, documentation, sh
aring and using of those methods across CMI?s programme.

es for different groups to express their views on the future of the country. In Mazar-e-Sharif Northern Afghanistan CMI supports a group of independent civil society actors to initiate discussions and dialogue among civil society academia women groups and 
media about the causes drivers and consequences of the conflict and more importantly the prospects for peace. The views and proposals developed by this group will be advocated both to the political decision-makers and among the general public both inside a
nd outside Afghanistan.
Promoting alphabetisation The project aims at educating 30 alphabetisation teachers on human rights issues women's rights including Cedaw. Morocco is still facing problems regarding the alphabetisation that at some areas exceeds over 50 %. A notably part of the responsability to er
adicate analphabetisme is  given to the civil society actors.
Frame Agreement with NGO (Foundation for Human Rights/KIOS) The project activities are awareness-raising, information and training, monitoring and documentation. Violence against women in Bangladesh is very common and often very cruel (gang rape, acid attacks). Even police statistics show that violence against wome
n is the most common form of violence.The project's central goal is the prevention of violence and discrimination against of women and girls on the island of Moheshkhal, and the legal focus is on women's rights and children's rights. The target group of th
e human rights training in schools is the age of 12-16 years. The campaign is slums is aimed at 10-15 year old children and mothers of all ages. The legal assistance is provided for the participating girls and women. The target group of  the theater of hum
an rights is the whole community. Promoting Human Rights and Education in Bangladesh (PHREB ) , was founded in 2004 in Bangladesh in eastern part of the Chittagong region. The organization's founders wanted to intervene against women, particularly young gi
rls against sexual harassment and violence, as well as empower the girls to advocate for their rights.
Frame Agreement with NGO (Foundation for Human Rights/KIOS) Project consists in training, producing training materials, organizing workshops and making school co-operation for the improvement of women?s rights. The human rights situation in the Somali region of Ethiopia is extremely weak. In the South-Eastern Somal
i region of Ethiopia the the tradition of female genital mutilation is the most common (about 97%). In Ethiopia, women between the 15 and 49 years old, about 74 % have been mutilated. In Somali Region of Ethiopia, the typical mutilation is the infibulation
, which is the widest and the most harmful form of mutilation. The central aim is the reduction of mutilation of girls, as well as improving the status of the victims of this harmful traditional practice in Somali Region of Ethiopia. Project promotes girls
' and women's rights in Ethiopia. The primary target group is girls who are at risk of being mutilated or who are victims of mutilation. The project is implemented Somali Region of Ethiopia, in Kebribeyah. Nurture Education and Development?s (NED) predeces
sor was EHRCEPA, founded in 1999. Kios has made a cooperation project with EHRCEPAn and NED. NED has been re-registered due to changes in the law 07/10/2009.
Frame agreement with NGO (Operation a Day?s Work) Rapid, uncontrolled population growth due to internal migration from rural to urban areas characterizes El Alto. The majority of this multicultural city's population is indigenous, aymaras being the biggest group (74% of the population). The city has a you
ng population: 40% are underaged, and over 70% less than 30 years old. Nevertheless, children's wellbeing is being neglected because the culture is very adultcentric. Children and youth are undervalued which together with numerous social problems is making
 the youth passive and uncommunicative. Education based on memorization and respect for the teacher's authority does not encourage youth to think independently or express their opinions.  Taksvarkki ry and it's Bolivian partner Compa have been implementing
 the project 'Art and social change' since 2010. The objective of the first phase of the project has been to increase youth wellbeing and raise debate on migration-related issues in order to promote intercultural equality and justice in periurban neighbour
hoods of El Alto districts 1, 4 and 6. The cornerstone of the project are art workshops in Compa's cultural centers and local schools. Through different forms of art (theater, music, dance, circus etc.), the youth reflect the society around them and prepar
e artistic productions to communicate about their neighborhood's problems. The artworks seek solutions to problems and challenges the youth encounter in their everyday life, and collectively build new kinds of positive migrant identities. The activities co
ntribute to horizontal intercultural relations, empowering youth and developing their self-esteem, self-expression and critical thinking skills, and offer children and youth a safe environment to act together with their peers as part of the community.In th
is second phase of the project the activities in Compa's cultural centers and schools continue. In addition, the second phase builds sustainability for the project activities by providing capacity building for the project staff and Compa's youth network, b
y sharing experiences and good practices on participatory methods for art education, and by providing methodological training for teachers. Through the trained teachers, these methods that aim at empowering children and youth and developing their expressio
n are taken into use in schools so the impact of the project will grow beyond Compa's immediate sphere of influence.
