Global Partnership for Education GPE Finland decided to join to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) in July 2013.  The first funding decision of Finland to GPE amounted to 4 milj EUR (2013-2014).  The subsequesnt funding decision of 4 milj. EUR will be made during 2014. The Unit for De
velopment Financing Institutions (KEO-50) is the Unit in charge of administrative issues regarding GPE while the Unit for Sectoral Policy (KEO-20) is in charge regarding subtance.  Within GPE Finland is member of the Constituency of Nordic Countries and Ir
eland.GPE allocates funding to countries who receive  least of the development assitance and who lack behind from the MDGs which means that GPA is servicing well the MDG and the EPA objectives. If possible GPE channels funding through partnership funding a
nd based on local donor coordination thus beeing complience with  the core principles of the Paris Declaration/Accra Agenda for Action.GPE complements and enhances the sector policy of education and development cooperation of Finland which is strongly focu
sed on bilateral cooperation especially in fragile and conlict affected states and in the countries who are far off from the MDG and EPA targets.

Children and Youth with Epilepsy Development Programme The aim of the project is to promote human rights of children and young people with epilepsy in Malawi. The objective is to decrease discrimination and increase gender equality by strengthening girls? school attendance. The objectives 1) raising awareness 
2) advocacy to local school authorities and 3) training of school teachers. 4) Furthermore the objective is to empower children and young people with epilepsy to see their human and patient rights for equality and good care. The project gives tools to chil
dren and young people with epilepsy and their parents to tell openly about epilepsy. The project takes place in four rural districts of Malawi: Southern Mulanje (525 429 people) and Karonga (272 789) Mchinji in Middle (456 558) and Northern Chikwawa (438 8
95). There are about 33 700 persons with epilepsy of whom 17% are under 15 years according to a research on epilepsy by Lorraine Wapling and Action Amos (2009). The areas where chosen because of high incidences of malaria due humid and their dryness.The pr
oject enhances collaboration between Malawi and Finland Epilepsy Associations that started already in 2009. The project supports activities and lobbying of Malawi Epilepsy Association in the long run by teaching bookkeeping and audit practices. The benefic
iaries are children and young people with epilepsy their families teachers and local school authorities. The project operates two years. It is coordinated by the volunteers of Malawi Epilepsy Association registered in 2012. Background: The project effects 
on significant problem of disabled people. Epilepsy is a common neurological disease that is more than seizures. Also cognitive mental health and social problems are common in epilepsy. Furthermore status epilepticus (seizures over 5 minutes) is life threa
tening. Appropriate medication helps many patients and they become seizure-free. The problem is the commitment to medication of the patients and their families because of stigma and wrong information about epilepsy. More than 80 % of people with epilepsy d
o not have appropriate medication for their condition. This is mainly because of the stigma and also because of weak infrastructure in Malawi. Children with epilepsy in Malawi are denied the opportunity to attend school. They report painful experiences of 
isolation discrimination ridicule abuse and exclusion by teachers and peers even the family members. The project will effect also on the availablity of mediacation in the long run.

Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) The project aims at increasing the awareness on children's rights and basic rights in peasant communities, strengthening their social dialogue with authorities and supporting the food security, self-sufficiency and income of the families. Some of the main 
challenges in the peasant communities are the elimination of child labor and forced labor and guaranteeing the self-sufficiency and livelihoods of the family farmers in the price competition with large businesses. The project will decrease the use of child
 labor and increase awareness of child rights and rights of small family farmers. It will also strengthen the self-sufficiency in food and improve gaining livelihoods from the production. As a result of the project small family farming communities and loca
l authorities recognize and respect child rights, the use of child labor diminishes,  the affiliation of family farmers in UNAC increases, the self-sufficiency of the families grows and young people have the possibility to stay in their family farms instea
d of leaving to big cities to work. The project benefits directly at least 180 peasant families and 480 children who participate in the activities. The increased awareness will benefit indirectly all children, young people and peasant families in the targe
t provinces.The project is implemented by Union Nacional Agroalimentaria de Colombia ? UNAC  and Union Internacional de Trabajadores de la Alimentacion y la Agricultura ? UITA/IUF. UNAC is the only significant trade union organization representing family f
armers and peasants in Colombia, and IUF will give UNAC its political, international and technical support.
Strengthening sustainable livelihoods in 12 villages in Malawi The project aims to contribute to solving of a crucial development problem in Malawi - insufficient food security - by enhancing sustainable livelihood in 12 villages in Mangochi region (Lungwena area). Sustainable livelihood is understood as a combination
 of nutritionally ecologically socially and economically sustainable agriculture and other sustainable sources of income.  This 3-year project has two immediate objectives:1) Nutritional food security of rural families improved.2) Capacity of Pemphero orga
nisation strengthened.The cross-cutting development policy objectives form an integral part of the project as: - girls and women are special groups among the beneficiaries (gender equality)- as are other marginalised groups such as aids-orphans old and dis
abled persons (decreasing inequality) - enhanced agricultural methods are ecologically sound and climate sensitive (enhancement of climate sustainability).   The project is not creating new structures as its key elements are already part of Pemphero's work
. However due to lack of resources and limited possibilities to capacity strengthening the organisation has asked for external support in order to better strengthen sustainable livelihoods in the target area and to make its own capacity firmer.   The main 
beneficiary groups are:1) persons in the 12 target villages who participate in the collective farming and their families2) groups who benefit from the production of collective farming (marginalised women children and especially girls elderly and some disab
led persons as well)3) Pemphero as an organization and its activists who get their capacity strengthened.The objectives will mainly be achieved by following activities: - Training local families on plant varieties agricultural methods recycling producing m
anure healthy nutrition crop storage food conserving cooking methods feeding habits multiple use of local foods home economics and marketing of the local products. - Purchasing tools (e.g. ploughs) seeds seedlings plants sacks kitchen ware computers mobile
s - Deepening Pemphero activists' knowledge on ecologically sound agriculture and nutritionally balanced food basket and on their working environment by strengthening their capacity to network with other civil society actors and to contact local authoritie

Support for Earth Negotiations Bulletin The mission of the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) established in 1990 is to promote sustainable development in decision-making. The IISD contributes new knowledge and concepts analyze policies identify and disseminate informatio
n about best practices demonstrate how to measure progress and build partnerships to amplify these messages. The IISD publication the Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB published since 1992) fills a critical need to increase transparency and accountability i
n multilateral environmental treaty negotiations by bringing real-time information to decision makers in a publicly accessible format. The ENB is a reporting service for environment and sustainable development negotiations. It is the main source of informa
tion for many parties especially developing country parties. The production of the ENB is supported by contributions from governments United Nations agencies and private organizations.Finland has supported the publication of the ENB since 2008. Since the E
NB is considerd important source of information especially for the developing countries the level of support has been raised a bit during these years. Now support will be provided in total 140 000 euros for the years 2014-2015.
Gender Responsive Climate Change Initiatives and Decision-making The effects of climate change are felt strongest by the poorest and the most vulnerable of whom a majority is women. In 2007 the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) the United Nations Enviro
nment Programme (UNEP) and the Women?s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO) partnered to launch the Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA) with the objective to address the critical intersection of climate change and gender equality. The GGCA
 brings together the key UN and other multilateral actors in the field of international environmental and development policy to address the question of gender and climate change. Its main goal is a more widespread recognition of a gender perspective in dec
ision making and policy planning related to climate change.Finland has a high profile in integrating a gender perspective to climate policy. The project cooperation with the GGCA started in 2008, now starts the fourth and last phase of the project. The goa
l has been to ensure that climate change policies programmes and initiatives at all levels are gender-responsive and improve the lives and livelihoods of women and men. Addressing the emerging challenges relating to the incorporation of gender perspectives
 into global climate change policies and strategies the programme has played a catalytic role in shifting the paradigm on gender and climate change issues and ensuring the gender-responsiveness of climate change policies at different levels. Based on achie
vements and the Evaluation?s recommendations partners will continue to focus on promoting that the next global climate agreement integrates gender equality dimensions in the relevant bodies mechanisms and national processes. The programme will also engage 
with the UNFCCC Secretariat (e.g. through capacity building).The programme has been able to improve understanding on implications related to gender (from vulnerability to participation). This prepared the ground for the gender decision taken in the climate
 conference held in Doha in 2012. Furthermore e.g. the Green Climate Fund and some work programmes under the UNFCCC now take gender into consideration in their work as appropriate.The project will last two years (July 2014 -  June 2016) and the support wil
l be 26 million euros at the level of previous phase. Executive agency will be UNDP and implementing agencies UNDP IUCN and WEDO.
