Poultry Disease Regionalization Workshop India is one of the biggest producer of meat in the world and yet provides an opportunity of U.S. meat exports. The demand for high-quality meat and meat products is increasing with the increase in population, and growth in the purchasing power of the middle class. With the increase in expendable income, consumers are increasingly focusing on food safety and quality. This provides a tremendous opportunity for export of U.S. origin meat and meat products. However, the biggest challenge is to develop partnerships with the local industry. The poultry market access to India is one such example where the domestic industrys resistance delayed the market access until the WTO intervention. The market is opened this year and training the Indian government on the adoption of OIE code of regionalization would help to retain this important market. Knowledge of United States industry-government regulatory cooperation; science-based surveillance programs in support of regionalization for avian influenza freedom would support Indian government efforts to control and contain avian influenza (AI) while ascertaining the safety of U.S. poultry imports. Moreover, India asked for assistance in understanding the regionalization concepts and APHIS process for recognizing the disease free status for animal diseases in relation to OIE guidelines.

Kenya Food Security Community Resilience Kenya Food Security Community Resilience initiative builds community welfare through social protection mechanisms by enabling and sustaining access to food, including in situations of short-term acute and long-term chronic food insecurity. This proposal specifically targets food scarcity and malnutrition rates. Funding will be administered through a delegated cooperation agreement with the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID).  The value of AusAID's contribution is $22.0 million over two years, starting 2011-12.
Kenya Humanitarian Assistance 2010-11 This initiative supports the World Food Programme's (WFP) humanitarian operations in Kenya. East African countries have experienced serious drought conditions since November 2010 as a result of the La Nina weather pattern. According to the Government of Kenya, the La Nina effect is impacting the food security of over 5 million people, with up to 2.4 million people in need of food assistance. Households are facing moderate to extreme levels of food insecurity, and in some areas acute malnutrition rates are above emergency thresholds. Malnutrition in women and children remains a serious public health concern in Kenya, particularly in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) and urban poor areas. In addition, the ongoing influx of refugees from countries such as Somalia and Sudan is exacerbating the precarious food security situation. As of October 2010, Kenya was host to 412,193 refugees. A growing number of refugees has been increasing competition for scarce resources and is damaging the re
Functional Review of National Safety Net Program In 2013, the Government of Kenya approved its first National Safety Net Protection Policy (NSPP). The NSPP provides a framework for a coordinated institutional architecture and other reforms in the sector that will enhance coordination, harmonisation and consolidation of activities among the line ministries and other key players in social protection. The NSNP seeks to harmonise the delivery systems of the five main social protection programs in Kenya, including the Hunger Safety Net Program (HSNP) funded by the Australian Government ($22 million, 2011-12 to 2014-15), with DFID and the Government of Kenya. The NSNP will seek to create a single registry of beneficiaries and harmonise targeting methods, monitoring and reporting frameworks and payment systems of the five programs, which are currently managed by three different departments in two ministries. This will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of safety net support to poor and vulnerable populations in Kenya and, over time, s
SLEEK - Emissions Estimation System in Kenya This investment is the System for Land-based Emisssions Estimation in Kenya (SLEEK).  Funding under this initiative assists the Government of Kenya by building a national carbon accounting system (NCAS) that will compile information from Kenya's forestry and agricultural sectors. The system will have capacity for measurement, reporting and verification of greenhouse gases. It will support Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries (REDD+) readiness activities and reporting requirements. This will assist Kenya to receive benefits for reducing emissions from their forest sector, and can also support the Government of Kenya's broader capacity for land-use planning and policy decision making, which can benefit food and water security and efforts to build climate resilience. The total value of this initiative is $13.0 million over 5 years, starting 2011-12.
Kenya Humanitarian Assistance 2012-13 Kenyan national elections are scheduled for 4 March 2013.

The total value of this initiative is $0.2 million to be expensed during the 2009-10 financial year.
Kenya Humanitarian Assistance 2016-17 Three consecutive years of drought in the Horn of Africa have caused widespread thirst, hunger and livestock deaths. It has severely affected livelihoods, increased the spread disease and triggered large-scale population movements. Some of the worst-affected communities live along the Mandera triangle, where the borders of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia meet. The food insecure population in Kenya has more than doubled in less than a year and an estimated 350,000 children, pregnant women and new mothers are acutely malnourished. Kenya declared a state of emergency due to drought in February 2017. Conditions have deteriorated following poor rainfall in April. Kenya hosts over 600,000 refugees and drought-affected areas in the north-east are receiving further Somali refugees driven by drought and conflict. This investment provides $2.48 million through UNICEF for nutritional assistance to women and children and water, sanitation and hygiene.

Psychosocial support for victims of conflict, and assistance with providing comprehensive rehabilitation in Gaza Psihosocialna pomoč žrtvam konfliktov in pomoč na področju celostne rehabilitacije v Gazi The psychosocial support programme for victims of conflict was implemented in Gaza in 2017 and 2018 to provide training for pre-school and school counselors, as it has become evident that pre-scholars, who were victims of conflict, also need support. The objective of the project was to set up counseling services at three schools. It included also an assistance programme with comprehensive rehabilitation provisioning. The project provided support to Community-Based Rehabilitation (i.e. small communities set up in areas without rehabilitation centers or other centers that assist victims of conflict). It was also provided training in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Soča University Rehabilitation Institute, Slovenia, for four Palestinian experts. V letih 2017 in 2018 se je izvajal program psihosocialne pomoči žrtvam konfliktov iz Gaze, ki je zajel usposabljanje za šolske in tudi predšolske svetovalne delavce, saj se je pokazala potreba po pomoči predšolskim otrokom - žrtvam konfliktov. V okviru teh aktivnosti je bila predvidena vzpostavitev treh svetovalnih enot na šolah. Prav tako se je izvajal program pomoči s področja celostne rehabilitacije. Nudila se je pomoč v CBR (manjših skupnostih, ki so nastale na področjih, kjer ni rehabilitacijskih centrov oz. drugih centrov pomoči žrtvam konfliktov). Predvideno je bilo tudi usposabljanje štirih palestinskih strokovnjakov s področja fizikalne medicine in rehabilitacije na URI Soča.
Voluntary contribution Prostovoljni prispevek Republika Slovenija je namenila prispevek UNRWA za pomoč pri zaposlovanju palestinskih beguncev na Bližnjem vzhodu skladno z zavezo, podano na ministrski konferenci za mobilizacijo sredstev za UNRWA v Rimu 15. marca 2018. Prispevek v letu 2020 je usmerjen v Covid-19 aktivnosti. The Republic of Slovenia allocated a contribution to UNRWA to support employment of Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, in line with the commitment made at the ministerial conference to mobilize funds for UNRWA in Rome on 15 March 2018. Contribution, paid in 2020, is directed towards Covid-19 activities.
Psychosocial support for victims of conflict, and assistance with providing comprehensive rehabilitation in Gaza and the West bank Psihosocialna pomoč žrtvam konfliktov in pomoč na področju celostne rehabilitacije v Gazi in na Zahodnem bregu ITF je pričel izvajati program psihosocialne pomoči otrokom žrtvam konflikta in podpore njihovim staršem in program usposabljanja strokovnjakov s področja celostne rehabilitacije in fizioterapije v Gazi v letu 2014 in ga izvaja še danes. Dolgotrajna konfliktna situacija področja Palestine in še zlasti oboroženi konflikti zadnjega časa prizadevajo duševno zdravje otrok. Obenem se v takšnih okoliščinah zmanjša podporna in zaščitna vloga staršev in družine, ker so le ti prav tako prizadeti s travmatskimi doživetji in izgubami. Številni otroci potrebujejo psihosocialno pomoč. Enega od razpoložljiv in dostopnih virov pomoči za vse otroke lahko zagotavljata šola in vrtec. Da bi šola in vrtec v večji meri udejanila svoje varovalne vplive, je potrebno dopolnilno usposabljanje, spodbuda in motivacija šolskih in predšolskih delavcev (učiteljev, šolskih svetovalnih delavcev..) na psihosocialnem področju za pomoč otrokom, sodelovanje in podporo staršem. Usposabljanje učiteljev in vzgojiteljev je dolgotrajen proces, saj ko eden od učiteljev ali vzgojiteljev v šolah ali vrtcih vključenih v projekt zazna otroka s težavami ali z motnjami se obrne na trenerja, ki je bil na seminarju in skupaj predelata primer otroka in mu nato ustrezno pomagata. Glede na dejstvo, da je situacija v Gazi in na splošno v Palestini še vedno nespremenjena oz. je občasno še slabša ter povzroča travme predlagamo nadaljevanje programa psihosocialne pomoči v Gazi tudi v letu 2019 in 2020. Doslej izvedeni program je bil izjemno dobro sprejet na šolah in vrtcih. Eden pomembnih segmentov pomoči je tudi ustrezna pomoč žrtvam konfliktov na domu. Program pomoči s področja celostne rehabilitacije zajema tudi usposabljanje strokovnjakov s področja rehabilitacije preko spleta. Poudarek je na izobraževanju s področja CBR (Community-based rehabilitation). Tudi v letu 2019 in 2020 se bodo izvedla usposabljanja preko spleta (za fizioterapevte in delavce iz različnih organizacijij, ki izvajajo pomoč na domu) in pomoč na domu.

PROG17-21_Outcome_Les populations des zones de santé de Kansimba et Moba utilisent les services de santé sexuelle et reproductive de qualité Fort des avancées acquises durant le triennal - il n’existait quasiment aucune activité portant sur la santé sexuelle et reproductive dans la zone d’intervention avant 2014 – Médecins du Monde Belgique poursuivra dans le cadre de ce programme son soutien aux zones de santé de Moba et Kansimba dans le domaine de la santé sexuelle et reproductive. Avec une équipe réduite, une synergie encore plus importante avec l’Action Damien et l’appui de Blue Square pour le volet digital, MdM construit son intervention sur trois niveaux : sensibilisation et mobilisation des communautés ; soutien aux structures sanitaires et formation des agents de santé ; appui aux deux équipes cadres pour la supervision et la gestion de leurs zones de santé. Etant donné qu’il s’agit de deux zones très isolées et enclavées, MdM continuera également sa stratégie d’amélioration de l’accessibilité géographique en construisant de nouvelles maternités y compris de référence. Sur proposition des équipes cadres, les lieux ont déjà été identifiés. Participe également à cette stratégie la mise sur pied de systèmes de référence gérés par les communautés pour les accouchements compliqués nécessitant une intervention du niveau supérieur (entre autres césariennes). Les volets planning familial, un succès du triennal, et prise en charge des violences sexuelles continueront de recevoir une attention particulière. A terme, MdM vise une forte diminution des décès maternels, des agents de santé mieux formés, une meilleure gestion des zones de santé et sur le long terme une amélioration de la condition féminine en RDC.
