Enterprising Women The project will work with women's groups to manufacture handbags and sell them in Oxfam shops.  Using a gendered market analysis approach  we will work with women at all stages of enterprise development, including business planning, SWOT, market analysis, sourcing materials, marketing and selling. We also plan to host a partner learning visit between organisations involved and partners in Scotland who have also been supported by Oxfam on enterprise development projects.
A Menu for Change: Cash, Rights, Food Oxfam GB, The Poverty Alliance, Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) in Scotland and Nourish request the support of the Big Lottery Fund Scotland to deliver a three year partnership project which will improve the response to food insecurity in Scotland. We propose a project that will challenge the causes of food insecurity whilst piloting new interventions which will enhance the response to food insecurity. The project's overarching aim is to support key stakeholders to move away from using emergency food aid as the primary response to food insecurity by developing and promoting alternative, dignified models of intervention that also address the underlying causes of food insecurity to prevent repeat crisis. Significantly, the project will also contribute to longer -term prevention of food insecurity through evidence -based advocacy and campaigning.
Youth Empowerment Project JUST West Yorkshire is an existing Oxfam partner which promotes racial justice and equality.  This 6 month initiative aims to work with young people and their support organisations from three Northern regions, so as to help facilitate a dialogue on their concerns and issues with Whitehall decision -makers.  They will inform key policies being developed by the Coalition Government so these meet the needs of young BME people. The project will support costs for Youth Worker, focus groups, travel, report, and video diaries.  The project will also support the production of a briefing paper on the impact of public sector cuts on BME communities.
Foundations research on UK inequality The UK inequality research will seek to fill the knowledge and credibility gap we currently have in speaking about inequality in the UK. Predominantly, this will comprise a literature review of secondary data, alongside working with Oxfam to develop our specific conceptualisation of what we mean by inequality in the UK – and how this may differ from our global framing. It will give us a clear viewpoint on causes and some solutions to UK inequality we can advocate on. The research will be informed by, and link back to, Oxfam's previous work on inequality. It will reflect on Oxfam's international conceptualisation of inequality and discuss how a UK conceptualisation is both informed by, and might differ from, that international approach. The research advisory group will also discuss how UKP can develop a programmatic response to economic inequalities in the UK that is distinct from programmatic responses that specifically address poverty. These discussions should run concurrently with the literature review exercise.

Valuing Women's Work The overall project aim is to increase the recognition of unpaid and low paid work undertaken by women to ensure that it is valued not only by government policies and society, but by women themselves.  The project will illustrate the amount and type and value of unpaid work that is undertaken by women and how this contributes to healthy communities and the economy. The project will increase recognition of the role of low paid workers in the caring industry in our society and will seek to increase the workers knowledge of their rights and so improve their employment conditions.

Fishery products Indonesia The programme proposal very much focuses on supporting the Indonesian fisheriessector to overcome the most important export marketing and EU market relatedbottlenecks identified, which prevent the sector to get the maximum out of its resource. The fisheries sector in Indonesia has made significant progress in the last couple of years also in conforming to EU market requirements. This is also recognised by the European market which increasingly is interested to source in Indonesia.

However, still a lot of work has to be done including strengthening export capacity of exporters and sector associations, marketing and promotion of Indonesian fishery products on the EU market, value addition, value chain management, hygiene/food safety, traceability and sustainability in order for the Indonesian fisheries sector to reach a higher degree of sustainability/responsible fishery and at the same time increase the value of exports. This is not only necessary to meet the demands of international markets but also to make sure that Indonesia will continue to have a viable fisheries sector, also in the longer run.

In view of the above, the CBI programme strategy will basically focus on the following areas of intervention. First strengthening the export sector through export coaching and business skills training of processors/exporters in relation to the European market. Secondly, increasing knowledge/awareness on relevant EU market requirements, facilitating companies and institutions to develop the right compliance strategies. Thirdly, supporting the sector among others by strengthening associations, assisting with developing and implementing marketing/branding strategy, professionalizing Indonesia presentation on the European Seafood Exposition. The programme contributes to a sustainable export increase, minimal 10 companies achieve a total additional export turnover of 7.5 million and another 25 companies supported by BSO activities 5 million by the end of 2017. Further it will contribute to the development of local capacity by intensive cooperation with l3SOs and involvement of local experts.
Country Programme Colombia The Republic of Colombia is located in the North-West of South America and is connected to the Caribbean Sea in the North and the Pacific Ocean in the West. Its neighbouring countries are Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Panama. Colombia is doing economically well,has implemented economic reforms and  is currently one of the economic top performers of Latin America. Government policies are conducive to free- trade and exports and Trade is promoted through measures such as the prioritization of strategic partners and institutional, policy and regulatory adjustments. Colombia has already signed or is negotiating F|'As with a number of countries, including the EU.



The sectors were pre-selected together with PROEXPORT and analysed in depth through a VCA. They represent sectors that offer opportunities in the European market and increasing European demand. All the sectors are also policy priorities of the Colombian Government, sufficient potential SME participants were identified in each of the sectors, and none of the sectors constitute unacceptable CSR-related image risks for CBI. On the contrary, the selected offer ample opportunities for CBI to further and promote CSR practices. Finally, the selected sectors will allow CBI to make an impact on poverty reduction and reduction of regional (urban-rural) inequality in Colombia The programme will consist of 6 projects, one for each sector. Each sectorial project will work at two levels simultaneously (1) at micro/company level, supporting participating companies in their preparation and European market entry efforts, and addressing company-level constraints and bottlenecks and (2) at meso/sector level, where sector-specific bottlenecks will be addressed. From the start of the programme CBI will involve EU importers in order to match them to the participating companies and to gather valuable input from the market to assist in the preparation and market entry of participating SMEs. Various (generic and sector specific) BSOs will be involved

in the implementation of the programme These partners will enable CBI to implement the programme effectively as the partners will support in promotion of the programme and selecting those companies that have a high potential. Furthermore, the programme can be implemented efficiently because certain activities will be implemented and/or financed by these local partners. Implementing the programme with local partners will also ensure that knowledge and skills will beavailable at BSO/sectoral level for the benefit of the wider sector, beyond the participating

companies."

The programme should lead to 13,75 million worth of additional European exports for some 60 participating companies. The integrated programme design combines different CBI modules, thus making maximum use of CBI's strengths.
Fishery Products Vietnam The fisheries sector plays a key role and is a highly dynamic sector in the Vietnamese economy, providing income to 8 million people (around 10% of the country's population). In 2011 seafood exports contributed approximately USD 6.1 billion out of a total export value of USD 71.6 billion. Currently, the fisheries sector ranks third in terms of foreign export earnings after the garment and crude oil industries, but ahead of other agricultural products such as rice and rubber. The most important seafood products in Vietnam are pangasius, shrimp, tuna, and molluscs (including clams, oysters, mussels, squid and cuttlefish). Aquaculture has grown strongly in the last decade, especially pangasius and shrimp.



Vietnam exports fishery products to more than 100 countries. The EU ranks on top of the list and the US and Japan on second and third place. Within the EU, The Netherlands is in the top three countries importing seafood from Vietnam. In 2011, the export to the Netherlands even increased by 20% in value compared to 2010.



The fishery sector is however confronted with various bottlenecks throughout the value chain which affect growth prospects and Vietnam's ability to get more value for its products on international markets. Companies have difficulty in understanding and complying with EU market requirements on issues like food safety, traceability, sustainability, certification/labelling etc. Furthermore, the pangasius sector, has grown in an unstructured way and is now confronted with low prices/profitability and image problems on the EU market. In addition, despite the strong export orientation of the sector, both companies and institutions are lacking essential international business skills.



In view of the above, the CBI programme strategy will basically focus on three areas of intervention. First creating awareness on relevant EU market requirements, facilitating companies and institutions to develop the right compliance strategies. The second area of intervention focuses on assisting the Pangasius sector with developing a marketing and branding strategy and providing guidance in implementation to achieve a better overall average price per unit product. Thirdly, by conducting relevant training/coaching on international business skills, further professionalizing the export sector by means of improved marketing and market entry strategies, is envisaged.
Eastern Partnership Ready to Trade Together with the International Trade Organization (ITC), CBI is implementing the Ready to Trade project in 6 Eastern Partnership countries to the EU. CBI’s activities focus on the development of the garments industry in the Republic of Moldova and the Republic of Belarus, specifically to develop the export of garments to Europe. The garments sector was identified in the Ready to Trade project as one of the most promising sectors in view of developing exports to the European market. Early 2019, companies who will participate in the program have been selected in both countries, with the aim to further develop their exports in the near future. In the remaining project period (until Q1 2021), these companies will be trained on export marketing, and will participate in market entry activities to get introduced on the EU market.
Laos Home Decoration and Home textiles (HDHT) "One of the current relevant market trends in demand (for Asia) is the increase in importance and number of niche markets, particularly for fair trade, handmade, sustainability, eco-friendly products. This offers Laos an unique opportunity to position itself in the niche markets based on their unique story: hand woven hand spun cotton and natural dyes; weaving skills, house hold looms all over the country which provides extra income next to farming income. The objective of this project is therefore to position Laos in the market as THE niche market in Asia for sourcing products made with hand-spun and handwoven cotton and dyed with natural dyes such as Indigo. In a tailor-made approach that provides technical assistance to exporters, the sector associations LHA and LPHA, the Laotian government and facilitates public private collaboration to address the mentioned issues in the export enabling environment as well as others not addressed by CBI. The essence of this project will be to support SMEs in becoming export ready and link them to the relevant niche markets. In a project in Nepal for this sector CBI was successful in branding small companies who produce low volumes. This was done through a clustering trajectory with the small SME and is essential to ensure the same level of quality and to be able to spread orders. The sector is characterised by a community based production model and needs to be better connected to the SMEs and in end to the buyers’ requirements. This would mean CBI however that more support through CBIs Export Enabling Environment interventions (and/or through other stakeholders) is needed to go deeper into the chain to improve quality and production efficiency. This needs to be done with support of national stakeholders and/or international donors."
Bangladesh Home Decoration & Home Textiles (HDHT) Overall obective: by establishing sustainable export relations on the EU/EFTA market, increase export revenues, create employment and income opportunities especially for women workers active in home decoration and home textiles production. The focus will be on those product groups that have the best chances to become successful in terms of export growth and employment creation during the project period: basketry, shopping bags/totes, rugs/mats and decorative home textiles made (combinations of) jute, grasses, cotton incl. waste and recycled materials The approach will be providing technical assistance to SME exporters through CBIs business export coaching trajectory in combination with strengthening the enabling environment by supporting business support organizations with improving/developing relevant trade services and stimulating cooperation between major stakeholders in the value chain.
