Resource Mobilisation for Investment fo girls' education from poor families in Morogoro Region particularly in Mvomero District The number of girl pupils enrolled in secondary schools in Tanzania is one of the lowest in the world. Gender disparity while not significant at the primary level is still wide at secondary level. The conclusion of many empirical studies is that child deve
lopment depends more on increased schooling of the mother than increased schooling of the father.  The development of the child includes health of the child schooling and productivity in adulthood.This project is addressing the access to secondary educatio
n among the female children of poor families in Morogoro region especially in Mvomero district. Key idea of the project is to promote and improve education to girls and increase awareness of education.The project continues to support the poor and talented 
girls who pass the national examination and fail to get school fees to join secondary education. Essential point is the sensitization of and mobilization of the families especially parents or guardians to understand the importance of education to children.

ies.Through the continuation project we intend to continue supporting the enrolled students and improving teaching and learning environments in selected rural villages in Morogoro region. The special focus of continuation project is on the evaluation which
 will take place during 2014.The continuation project will make follow up of health clubs established since the beginning of the project so as to ensure their accomplishment. By making follow-up we insure improved health practices in pilot schools and thro
ugh healthy students better performance and less absenteeism. Project will also create new possibilities for fundraising of WEETU with a purpose on increasing financial sustainability. One possibility is to accomplish theatre building to  be used as a fund
ing source for WEETU through rent from outside users.The project aspires to achieve improved gender disparity in enrolment performance and access to secondary education. In the long run it will improve gender equality in decision making improved life skill
s of women improved economic growth and reduced poverty.
Empowerment of Aymara-women in the Bolivian Altiplano This project is part of AYNI?s development strategy to support the Aymara community. The aim is to empower Aymara women working in agriculture. The objective is to enhance their skills and production capacity in order to strengthen their position in strong
ly patriarchal and gender-based communities. In Aymara communities women have basically neither power nor influence and are easily victims of violence and segregation. Not even all the girls have access to school and hence illiteracy rates are exceptionall
y high.The first step of the project is to map those activities that bring add value to the production of agriculture in the area. When these activities have been identified the most suitable one for women will be chosen and transferred to the responsibili
ty of the beneficiaries (women).The next step is to organise a wide training programme where 100 workshops will be arranged. The workshops will be aimed at enhancing the professional skills of the beneficiaries. Three times a year there will be a meeting f
or all the members of the community where the participants will have the opportunity to share experiences and realise the dignity and importance of their work.The third and last phase is the organisation of workshops on human and citizens? rights as well a
s  gender equality. Six workshops will be arranged in every community on the status of women gender discrimination etc.

Marine resarch ICI project The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE has since 2012 implemented an Institutional Cooperation Instrument (ICI) Project on marine research (Marinam) with Namibian National Marine Information and Research Centre (NatMIRC) that is part of Namibia's Ministry 
of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR). The Project is planned to continue until 2015. MFMR commissioned a fisheries and marine research vessel from the STX Finland shipyard with concessional credit loan from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Fin
land. The ICI Project was designed to complement the acquisition of this vessel. The aim of the Marinam Project is to achieve conditions where the regulation of fish stocks in Namibia is based on valid scientific information. In order to reach this goal th
e research vessel has to be used efficiently. Training of the crew has a key role in this and as part of the ICI Project the Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) has been training the crew in the use of the research vessel. It was the wish of th
e Namibian partner to include the SAMK training component in the Project. The aim of the ICI Project's SAMK training component is that the research vessel is used efficiently and safely. The training has progressed as planned but at the same time a need fo
r further training has arisen. A recent evaluation of the concessional credit loan project also recommended further training for the crew of the vessel. As the training component has an impact on the whole ICI Project and the efficient use of the vessel fu
rther financing of the component is justifiable.
