Strengthening Civil Courage – South Sudan For decades, the population of South Sudan has experienced an almost continuous state of violent conflict. Despite several peace deals in the recent past, national level conflict still interlinks with local, pre-existing conflicts over land, pasture, water, cattle. The conflicting interests related to natural resources add to the complex interlinkages between local and national conflicts. Communities do not benefit from resources sharing and in addition suffer from the exacerbation of armed conflict, deforestation and environmental damage. In this context of unresolved conflicts, civic space is squeezed by the prevalent threat of violent and repressive actions by those whose interests are threatened when citizens speak up or act. Traditional cultural beliefs hinder women to participate in decision making processes and peace-building initiatives. Sexual violence has been used as a weapon in conflicts, but perpetrators are often not prosecuted as local judges are often applying traditional laws. In selected South Sudanese states, the programme aspires to work at multiple levels (national, sub-national and grassroots) and to contribute to widening civic space, peacebuilding, gender justice and accountability of economic actors. Human rights defenders will be supported in safely raising their voices and claiming civil and political rights. Communities, armed youth groups and local and national leaders will be supported in engaging in peace processes and sustainable peace arrangements. Female leaders will get support in influencing decision making on gender laws and policies. Activities include research, training and other ways of capacity development, advocacy, facilitating dialogues. The programme will primarily work with (women) human rights defenders, communities affected by conflict and insecurity, victims of human rights abuse and insecurity (including victims of oil exploitation) and church, civil society and traditional leadership, especially youth and women leaders. Local authorities, security actors, international actors and the diplomatic community will be addressed on their roles and responsibilities in realising change towards peace and justice. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – External Stress Factors / International Lobby and Advocacy In the Strengthening Civil Courage programme, the pillar of work called External Stress Factors (ESF) is aimed primarily at taking away stress factors that are external to the conflict. The conflicts in which the alliance is seeking to implement its programme have a myriad of external stress factors. For the international lobby and advocacy component of the work on external stress factors, the alliance seeks to address the factors caused by two types of actors: states and companies. Impact through environmental factors is also part of the programme. The main objective for this programme is that states, companies and other actors contribute to effective international standards which protect people against harm caused through the effects of weapons, business activities in conflict-affected areas or environmental impacts of conflict. More specifically, the programme aims for states to contribute to effective international standards regulating the use of and trade in (controversial) weapons; and, for companies to adhere to effective international standards that prevent and mitigate human rights impacts of businesses in conflict. Lastly, the programme aims to address and mitigate environmental impact of warfare. The programme targets states, the Dutch government, the UN and multilateral bodies, arms companies, affected communities, financial institutions, multinational companies, and consumers in Western countries. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Yemen After the fall of the Saleh regime in 2011, the country has been drawn into a conflict with national, regional and international actors. The country is facing a tremendous humanitarian crisis. Civic space is very limited, since organisations face a lack of protection, funding, capacity and support. Against this backdrop, the SCC programme in Yemen is crucial to create a safe space for CSOs to act and to play active role towards ending the conflict. The main objective of the SCC programme in Yemen is for Yemeni civilians represented by civil society play an active role towards building inclusive peace, reducing civilian suffering through arms control and environmental protection, and ensuring accountability at the local, national and international level. The aim is to expand civic space, particularly by women and youth-led civil society, for civil society to gain access to accountability processes, and strengthen international standards and due diligence on arms control. The target groups are local partner organisations; activists; local councils; small CSOs; national actors; and the international community. A particular focus is on women and youth. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Sahel Provide a brief but meaningful description of the ‘why’ and the focus of the programme. Write concise and specific. Avoid jargon. The Sahel has been the scene of large-scale armed conflict since 2012. Jihadist groups, state security forces, international military actors, and community militias and bandits are involved in these armed conflict. The conflict is exacerbated due to conflict between communities and weak state presence. There is economic underdevelopment, clientelism and corruption among elites. The programme in the Sahel will work with civil society actors to address these issues, common security and human rights problems. The main objective of the Sahel programme is for CSOs and human rights defenders, working in the tri-border region of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, to contribute to greater accountability and more inclusive conflict-sensitive policies through effective monitoring and documentation of human rights violations, advocacy, and inclusive dialogue for peace and justice. More specifically, the aim is for CSOs, female and young human rights defenders and activists to claim their civic space; that state actors increasingly respond to the pressure of citizens to build inclusive communities; and, for national governments and international military actors to adhere to international norms and human rights standards. The main target groups are human rights defenders that work at national level on civic space, good governance and rule of law; human rights defenders involved in monitoring and reporting conflict_x0002_related human rights violations; civilian populations and communities in the Liptako Gourma border region; and, CSO partners from the three sides of the border. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – DR Congo In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, human rights violations are widespread and human security is far from guaranteed. Violations and abuses, by both state and non-state actors, include extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, torture and sexual violence against women and girls. Democratic space is restricted with far_x0002_reaching consequences for press, civil society organisations and human rights defenders active on issues like natural resources, human rights, accountability and elections monitoring. The programme aspires to contribute to improving the human rights and human security situation at different levels. It aims to support pro_x0002_democratic civil society actors in effectively advocating for the improvement of electoral laws, institutions and processes. At the same time, it works with local organisations and selected communities in East and Northeast Congo on resolving (armed) conflict and the protection of human rights by state and non-state authorities. Conflicts relate for instance to access to land and natural resources and may e.g. occur between communities and authorities, between nomadic and resident communities or between artisanal miners and industrial mining companies. Activities include skills development (including on physical and digital security), monitoring and documenting human rights violations, facilitating dialogues and advocacy campaigns. The programme primarily works with (women) human rights defenders, pro-democratic civil society actors, and with selected local communities affected by natural reserves policies, industrial mining or violent conflict with rival groups. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Iraq Iraq has been experiencing many years of violent conflict. This has caused a shrinking of civic space, deteriorating human rights situation, unresolved past conflict and gender inequality. The SCC program in Iraq will address the damaged inter-community relations and the relation between state and citizens. Thereby empowering survivors and victims of violence to advocate for their rights with regards to justice and accountability. The main focus of the program lies on the Ninewa governorate, which was hit hardest by ISIL. Capacity-building training will be provided focusing on human rights, gender, dealing with the past, and advocacy. The main objective is to reach evidence-based advocacy of strong and diverse victim groups and other civil society group in Iraq, that contribute to the realisation of inclusive transformative justice processes and to the nun-recurrence of atrocities. More specifically, the program aims for the victims and survivors of human rights abuses and violent conflict in Ninewa to influence transformative justice and accountability processes to be more inclusive. Secondly, the goal is to reach an increased collaboration between inclusive victim and survivor groups across the political divide, and finally, the programme aims to strengthen international standards and due diligence on arms export control. The target groups are marginalised survivor and victim groups; Iraqi partner organisations; grantees, such as community-based organisations; a network of advocates; local and provincial authorities; national authorities; and international policymakers. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Palestine The programme’s wider context include the ongoing occupation of Palestinian land, the increased fragmentation of the Palestinian population and the suppression of civic space, including delegitimization of Palestinian and Israeli human rights defenders and other civil society actors. In this complex context the programme focuses on the violations of the housing and residency rights of Palestinians in East Jerusalem and Area C. Addressing these violations requires commitment and an active role of a variety of stakeholders. The programme therefore aspires to support human rights defenders and civil society actors in their efforts to counter the repression of civic space (including social media), to prevent specific violations of housing and residency rights, and to address companies in the UN Database and their investors on reducing their involvement in Israeli human rights violations. Interventions may include development of skills and leadership, research, and joint advocacy. The programme will in particular work with Palestinian and Israeli (women) human rights defenders, other civil society actors and Palestinian and Israeli citizens. It will address authorities, international duty bearers, companies and financial institutions on their opportunities to contribute to equal rights for Palestinian and Israeli citizens. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.
Strengthening Civil Courage – Lebanon Lebanon is facing multiple crises: an economic crisis, refugee crisis, political crisis and a health crisis. On top of that, young Lebanese citizens have been demonstrating for change against state corruption and the lack of accountability of the political elite. At the same time, the rights to freedom of speech and assembly is under pressure due to increasing measures by the government. In addition, the deteriorating context has contributed to an increase in Gender_x0002_based Violence (GBV) throughout the country. Therefore, the projection and expansion of civic space is a necessity to push for reforms, hold accountable the political elite and to combat the challenges Lebanon is facing. The overall objective is that Lebanon’s civic change movement defends its civic space and acts as an inclusive collective to foster gender equality, address community tensions and hold local and national actors accountable for human rights violations. Specifically, the program seeks for activists and civil society to protect their civic space to freely express their concerns; for civil society and the international community to pressure Lebanese and international actors for greater protection of Syrian refugees, and for girls and women to have better protection and expand their influence on their economic, social and political rights. The target groups are (young) Lebanese activists and activist groups that can mobilise other people into a movement of social change; Lebanese partner CSOs who can create and protect fee and open cultural spaces; Lebanese local and national authorities; international actors; women and girl; men and boys; and, religious leaders that can be of significant importance in increasing the tolerance and acceptance of others in a divided society such as Lebanon’s. The activity is part of a larger programme implemented by the Strengthening Civil Courage Alliance, consisting of ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, Amnesty International The Netherlands, DefendDefenders, PAX and their partner networks.

PH - Chiller Energy Efficiency Project The project development objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing inefficient chillers including both oldCFC-based chillers and non-CFC-based chillers.
Building Chiller Replacement Project The project aims to create a market for high-energy efficiency chillers in Thailand by initially replacing about 24 CFC chilllers on a pilot basis to demonstrate the economics and feasibility of the technology. Following a sucessful demonstration, a larger-scale chiller replacement program would lead to the replacement of 30% of the remaining CFC chillers. It is expected that the demonstration effect of the project and the experience gained would lead to a more widespread use of energy efficient chillers in the chiller market as a whole. In addition to the market transformation benefits, the project would lead to a significant reduction in both greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ODS. By replacing the CFC chillers with systems that are 30% more efficient, the CO2 emissions associated with air-conditioning can be reduced by the same amount.
India - Chiller Energy Efficiency Project - MP Component The overall global environment objectives of the CEEP are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst simultaneously supporting the completion of the phase-out of consumption of Ozone Depleting Substances required under the Montreal Protocol.

CFC Phase-out Management Plan for Antigua and Barbuda The National CFC Phase-Out Management Plan for Antigua and Barbuda will assist the country in phasing out its  remaining CFC consumption (Annex A, Group 1 chemicals) and meet its obligations under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer. To achieve this end, the main focus will be on reducing the demand of CFC for servicing of remaining CFC-based refrigeration equipment. Specific tasks will include: - Studying CFC use in concerned subsectors - Providing training to refrigeration technicians in good management practices - Encouraging affordable retrofit of remaining CFC equipment as a component in the training program and encourage service providers to develop and implement such retrofits - Providing training to customs officials to support the Government's quota system - Providing funding to cover the incremental cost of retrofits and/or conversions in the food market and mini market refrigeration area that eliminate CFC as refrigerant.
CTC Sector Phaseout Project - ODS IV The global environmental objective of this Montreal Protocol operation is to support international efforts to restore the stratospheric ozone layer to its original level in order to provide the earth's living organisms with the full benefit of the ozone layer's protection from solar radiation.  India's effort on the carbon tetrachloride (CTC) front is part of India's national program for the phaseout of ozone depleting substances controlled under the MOntreal Protocol. The project will therefore support the India's objective to reduce its Protocol-controlled CTC production and consumption level to zero by 2010. While it is impossible to directly link India's efforts with specific achievements/development outcomes related to the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer, it is worth noting that India was the second largest consumer of ozone-depleting substances among developing countries and that its efforts are essential for the long term recovery of the ozone layer.
