F.a: High Schools' Development Programme in Savannakhet Province The quality of education in high schools is weak and the resources of schools are limited. There is a shortage of school buildings and teachers, and student groups are large. The work motivation of teachers is lowered by belated salary payments and the sca
rcity of available resources required for working. The study motivation of students is low, because they do not feel studying to be meaningful or they do not get enough support for learning. Possibilities for further education are limited. The project work
s with five high schools in the Outhoumphon and Songkhon district regions in Savannakhet province. The programme focuses on training teachers, providing teaching materials and motivating students. Trained volunteers from amongst the students play an import
ant role in motivating students. The facilities of schools are improved through cooperation between the community and the programme. The programme’s beneficiaries are 2 800 students, 120 teachers and 55 000 villagers in 46 villages. The project’s goal 
is the improved level of education in the target schools in Songkhon and Outhoumphon districts. The project’s purpose is the improvement of teaching and learning conditions in the target schools. As the school environment and teachers’ skills develop, 
the quality of education increases as a whole. The motivation of students leads to better learning outcomes. The community’s level of commitment towards the improvement of education and school environments increases as they take responsibility in the ren

F.a: New project in planning phase: empowering girls and young women and facilitating access to schooling Preparation of new development cooperation project with Malawian partner
F.a: IELCO environmental project The project aims at improving food security in communities in the rural areas, protecting water sources and raising environmental awareness and sustainable development in communities. Food security is improved by establishing vegetable gardens and training
 community members to manage and maintain them. Also technical support is given. Food availability and nutritional balance are improved also by raising small livestock. Community members are trained in sustainable development, reforestation and environment
al protection, including side effects of mine industry. Natural water sources are protected with fences and tree planting. Advocacy to authorities is done in order to raise their awareness and change attitudes e.g. in order to minimize the side effects of 
mine industry. The project is implemented in Sogamoso and Toquilla areas. The implementing partner is the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia IELCO.
Learning by working Oppia työssä Learning by working is not a new issue in Tanzania but nowadays it is not an organized way of acting. In a previous project learning by working was tested. It gave quite promising results.Most of young girls and boys in Tanzania fail to perform the final e
xam of primary school. That is why it is very hard to find any paths to workmanship. It is especially complicated to girls and those who come from poor families.SIDO organization from Tanzania/Singida proposed co-operation to establish a project which aims
 to learning by working. Singida Folk Development College and Msingi Folk Development college are also interested in this co-operation. The idea is that at least half of them are young women. Aiemman hankkeen yhteydessä kokeiltiin työssäoppimisosiota paikallisissa yrityksissä.Tuolloin paikallisten yritysten puolelta nousi esiin idea että ne voisivat ehkä tehdä enemmänkin oppisopimuksia nuorten kouluttamiseksi työn kautta.Yrittäjät ta
rvitsevat kuitenkin ensivaiheessa koulutusta nuorten ohjaamisesta. Samalla oppisopimuskoulutukselle tulee luoda jonkinlaiset yhteiset laatukriteerit koska asia on uusi.Tämä parantaisi niiden nuorten mahdollisuuksia jotka eivät peruskoulun ala-asteen jä
lkeen pääse mihinkään jatkamaan koulua. Erityisesti tytöt jäävät helposti vaille ammattikoulutusta. Siksi paikalliseksi kumppaniksi on löydetty paikallisen yrittäjäjärjestön Small Industries Development Organizationin (SIDO) ohella keskisuuri 
tekstiilialan yritys.Lisäksi yhteistyökumppanina on Singida Folk Development College jolta hankitaan pääosin yrittäjien ohjaus. Tavoite on että kolmen vuoden jälkeen järjestelmä pyörisi omillaan. Työssä oppiminen ei ole Tansaniassa uutta mutta 
toiminnasta puuttuu järjestelmällisyyttä. Tarkoituksena on tarjota vuosittain 20-30 nuorelle tilaisuus harjoitella yrityksissä. Vähintään puolet heistä pitää olla nuoria naisia.
Quick Impact Projects in Lebanon Quick Impact Project -pienhankkeet Libanonissa Quick Impact Projects in Lebanon support the development of local villages and communities in Southern Lebanon and thereby contribute to maintaining good relations between the Finnish UNIFIL troops and the local population and to the public order. The proj
ects also help securing favorable operational environment for the Finnish troops. Southern Lebanon continues to suffer from the damages caused by the 2006 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The some xx projects that were implemented in 2016 (improved b
asic services and social cohesion. The projects included e.g. the development of water distribution systems building of roads and educational and recreational activities for women children and youth. Projects have been successful and have enjoyed positive 
media coverage. In 2017 the focus will be in improving the conditions for children youth women orphans and people with disabilities.) Projects are identified and implemented by the Finland's UNIFIL troops following the Quick Implementation Project guidance
 of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Finnish contribution to QIP projects is 100 000 Euros in 2017. Libanonin Quick Impact Project (QIP) ?pienhankkeiden tarkoituksena on tukea Etelä-Libanonin paikallisyhteisöjen kehitystä ja siten lisätä UNIFIL-kriisinhallintajoukkojen ja paikallisen väestön välistä luottamusta mikä on olennaista joukkojen toim
innan turvaamiseksi. UNIFIL-joukkojen tavoitteena on ylläpitää alueen vakautta. Etelä-Libanon on edelleen haastavassa kehitystilanteessa vuonna 2006 käydyn Israelin ja Hizbollahin välisen konfliktin jäljiltä. Libanonin kokonaistilanteeseen vaikutta
a se että  maata kurittaa sen historian pahin talouskriisi jota koronapandemia on vahvistanut. Maassa on myös noin 15 miljoonaa syyrialaispakolaista. Vuosina 2019-2020 toteutettiin 17 pienhanketta joilla mm. kehitettiin vedenkastelu- ja puhdistusjärjest
elmiä ja jätehuoltoa sekä kunnostettiin tiloja joissa tarjotaan koulutus- ja vapaa-ajan toimintaa. Kokemukset toiminnasta ovat myönteisiä. Hankkeilla on lisätty rauhanturvaajien ja paikallisväestön välistä luottamusta ja samalla parannettu mm. pu
htaan veden saantia ja jätehuoltoa sekä tuettu heikoimmassa asemassa olevia ryhmiä. Hanketoiminta myös vahvistaa paikallisesti hyvää hallintoa ja kestäviä julkisia hankintoja korruption vaivaamassa maassa. Vuosien 2021-2022 tukea suunnataan erityis
esti infrastruktuurihankkeisiin ja koulujen ja päiväkotien varustamiseen ja osa tuesta kohdistuu myös alueen koronavasteeseen. Osa hankkeista tehdään yhteistyössä Ranskan kriisinhallintajoukkojen kanssa. Suomen kriisinhallintajoukko identifioi ja to
teuttaa hankkeet UM:n laatimaa Quick Impact Project ?ohjeistusta noudattaen. Suomen tuki QIP-pienhankkeille vuonna 2019 oli 100 000e ja siitä 43 000 e siirtyi non-cost extensionina vuodelle 2020. Vuosina 2021-2022 hankkeiden budjetti on 100 000 euroa vuod
essa yhteensä 200 000e.
