os Ilmatieteen laitos on toteuttanut meteorologian alan hanketta Kirgisiassa kansallisen laitoksen Kyrgyzhydrometin kanssa vuodesta 2014 alkaen. Hanke toteutetaan instituutioiden välisenä yhteistyönä. Tarkoituksena hankkeessa on vahvistaa Kyrgyzhydrometin
 kapasiteettia siten että Kyrgyzhydromet pystyy tuottamaan sää- ilmasto- ja ympäristötietoa sekä nnakkovaroituspalveluita Kirgisian yhteiskunnan hyödyksi.Ensimmäisen vaiheen (2014-2017) tärkeimpinä saavutuksina voidaan mainita automaattisen ilman
laadun tarkkailuaseman perustaminen Bishkekiin Maailmanpankin rahoituksella hankittujen laitteiden käytön koulutus sekä Kyrgyzhydrometin strategisen suunnittelun ja tietohallintaprosessin kapasiteetin vahvistuminen Ilmatieteen laitoksen antaman koulutuk
sen ja tuen ansiosta.Hankkeen ensimmäisen vaiheen budjetti on 552.000 euroa.Hankkeen toisessa vaiheessa (2018-2020) päätavoitteena on edelleen Kirgisian yhteiskunnan ja talouden vahvistaminen ja tätä kautta kestävän talouskasvun mahdollistaminen ja 
köyhyyden vähentäminen.Hankkeen tärkein teema on edistää ilmastokestävyyttä ja vahvistaa ilmastonmuutokseen varautumista. Jatkovaihe on tärkeä myös jo saavutettujen tulosten kestävyyden varmistamiseksi. Kyrgyzhydrometin henkilöstön kapasiteet
in vahvistamista jatketaan laaja-alaisella koulutuksella. Mukana on uutena teemana jäätiköiden ja lumen monitorointi ja tutkimustyö.Toisen vaiheen tulostavoitteet ovat:1. Vahvistunut kapasiteetti jäätiköiden ja lumen monitorointiin ja tutkimiseen.2.
 Parantunut Kyrgyzhydrometin kapasiteetti operoida moderneja ilmanlaadun havaintojärjestelmiä.3. Kyrgyzhydrometin parantunut strateginen ja henkilöstökoulutuksen kapasiteetti.4. Ennakkovaroitusjärjestelmän ja kansalaisille tiedottamisen kehittyminen.
Hankkeen suora hyödynsaaja on Kyrgyzhydromet ja sen osastot muita hyödynsaajia ovat hallitus ja eri virastot sekä muut ryhmät jotka tarvitsevat ennakkovaroituksia sekä sää- ja ympäristötietoja (maanviljelijät turismi energia-ala liikenne).Toisen 
vaiheen budjetti on 500.000 euroa.

IDA-15 replenishment KV.RAH.LAIT/Kv. kehitysjärjestö IDA-15 lisärahoitus Participants reaffirmed their support for the IDA15 policy framework for poverty reduction. The framework includes key measures that support IDA as the ?Platform for Achieving Results at the Country Level? - the theme of the IDA15 replenishment.Based on th
e underpinning policy framework for IDA15 donors reconfirmed their strong support for IDA by pledging a total of SDR 16.5 billion for the IDA15 replenishment (equivalent to US$ 25.1 billion based on the IDA15 foreign exchange reference rates). Together wit
h donor compensation for MDRI debt forgiveness credit reflows and expected World Bank Group transfers the total IDA15 envelope comes to SDR 27.3 billion (US$ 41.6 billion equivalent) which represents a 25 percent increase in SDR commitment authority over I
DA14 (or 30 percent in US dollar equivalent terms).Since its inception IDA credits and grants have totaled US $182 billion averaging US $10 billion a year in recent years and directing the largest share about 50 percent to Africa.   In fiscal year 2007 (wh
ich ended June 30 2007) IDA commitments reached a record level of US $11.9 billion.   Nineteen percent of those commitments were provided on grant terms.   New commitments in 2007 comprised 189 operations.   In September of 2007 the World Bank Group pledge
d to provide US $3.5 billion in net income transfers to IDA15.   The US $3.5 billion is expected to be contributed equally by IFC and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) both affiliates of the World Bank Group. Hankkeella rahoitetaan Suomen osuus Maailmanpankkiryhmään kuuluvan Kansainvälisen kehitysjärjestön (International Development Association IDA) 15. lisärahoitukseen kaudella 2009-2011. IDA-15:n kokonaisvolyymi on n. 312 miljardia euroa josta osa katet
aan pankkiryhmän sisäisin varoin ja siirroin ja osa avunantajaosuuksin. Suomen taakanjako-osuus on 089 % mikä tarkoittaa 200 000 000 euron rahoitusosuutta.IDAn tavoitteena on tukea ja edistää kehitysmaiden kestävää taloudellista ja sosiaalista kehi
tystä. IDA toimii kolmivuotisten lisärahoitussyklien puitteissa. Vuoden 2007 aikana käydyissä IDA-15 lisärahoitusneuvotteluissa on sovittu rahoituskauden tavoitteista ja toimintaperiaatteista rahoituksen tasosta ja jäsenmaiden maksuosuuksista.

Pro Ethical Trade Finland (PETF) Change your shoes EYD 2015- Starting point of the way to a ethical and sustainable shoe supply chain Eettisen kaupan puolesta ry Change your shoes EYD 2015- Starting point of the way to a ethical and sustainable shoe supply chain Through the Change your shoes- action consumers become more aware that their lifestyle choices can instigate policy change that will ultimately improve the working conditions and well-being of those further down the production chain in the shoe industry. T
he action will take place in 20 countries in Europe and 3 Asian countries.The use of chrome in leather tanning is a great problem in shoe manufacturing. Chrome is a highly toxic chemical that endangers the environment as well as tannery workers and Europea
n consumers. The campaign will raise consumer awareness of the dangers of chrome use in the shoe industry. The campaign will lobby Ecolabels and the EU Directorate-General for Health and Consumers for a ban on chrome use to introduce mandatory labelling of
 shoes using chromium tanned leather. The project will also  support best practices from European shoe brands and present best practice from EuropeAid projects. The voice of the shoe industry workers will be brought forth through workers' rights organisati
ons. The ultimate goal is to improve the working conditions of the shoe industry workers so that they get living wages and child-labour decreases. Change your shoes-hankeen tarkoitus saada kuluttajat tietoisemmiksi siitä miten he voivat omalla elämäntyylillään edesauttaa yhteiskunnallista muutosta joka johtaa kenkätyöntekijöiden parantuneisiin työolosuhteisiin. Hankeen toiminnot sijoittuvat 
20:een Euroopan ja 3:en Aasian maahan.Suurimpia ongelmia kenkätuotannossa on kromin käyttö nahan parkitsemisvaiheessa. Kromi sairastuttaa niin ympäristöä kenkätyöntekijöitä kuin eurooppalaisia kuluttajiakin. Hankkeessa tiedotetaan kromin käytön
 ja kenkätuotannon ongelmista kuluttajille. Hanke vetoaa kromin käyttökiellon puolesta erilaisin ekomerkkeihin sekä pyrkii vaikuttamaan myös EU:hun jotta kromin käytön merkitseminen valmiiseen tuotteeseen olisi pakollista. Hankkeessa myös esitellä

FLC: Participatory Conservation of Environment and Local Natural Tourists attractions  in Mwanga and Same Districts Tanzania Environmental and Tourism Educational Organization (TETEO) is liaising with other stakeholders to initiate develop promote and actively participate in activities that contribute to the conservation of nature and the improvement of the better life 
of Tanzania society.The previous project (2013 - 2014) aimed at establishing and promoting Community Based Nature Tourism for community better life in Mwanga District. Activities were successfully implemented but the challenge of conserving crucial attract
ions was raised by by stakeholders during Mwanga Tourism Conefence and project evaluation meeting. in 2014. the meeting recommended that strong initiatives must be taken immediately to conserve forests environment and all attractions in Mwanga and Same so 
as to make Community based Nature Tourism sustainable and profitable to the community. Also it was recommended that more education   and awareness on nature based tourism customer services and tourism entrepreneurship should be increased among the communit
y. Further TETEO came to realize that there is limited capacity of communities and district officials to undertake conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and tourist attractions; limited community focused joint programmes on conservation; li
mited established mechanism for cooperation networking and exchange of information for management of natural forests and tourism attractions and limited programmes for sensitizing communities on the importance and links between conservation livelihood and 
poverty alleviation. There are also limited alternative income generation activities that are friendly to environment and that return a higher value to the degraded environment and increase income to the community as well as create employment..TETEO would 
like to address the mentioned problems through; Capacity building in environment conservation Community Based Nature Tourism Service Production and Hospitality and entrepreneur skills; Also through awareness creation and promote alternative income generati
on activities( handcraft for women and youth tree nursery establishment and tree planting beekeeping biomass charcoaling cage and pond fish farming). Restoration of fragile Ecosystems for Nature Based tourism; Marketing and promoting local tourist attracti
ons products and services (mapping attractions distributing promotional materials and formulation of Village nature based tourism steering committees.
F.a: Support for vulnerable children in mining communities The project supports vocational training for child workers and other especially vulnerable children and young people in the mining areas and strengthens their capacity to defend and promote their rights. There are still about 850.000 child workers in Boliv
ia, many of them living in the mining areas. The project area includes Llallagua, Uncía and Siglo XX in the mining department of Potosí. By the end of the second phase the possibilities of good life of these children and young people have been strengthen
ed, the awareness of the problems and risks connected to child labor has increased in the mining communities and outside of them, child workers have been empowered and received education to get better skills and safer income generating activities. In addit
ion they work actively to improve their situation through networking and participating in the activities of their own organization MOLDNAT´S. The activities and the economic base of Casa NAT´S, activity center of child workers, are strengthened. The impl
ementing agency of the project is CEPROMIN (Centro de Promoción Minera), established in 1979 to work for the rights of mine workers and their families in Bolivia.

FLC: Arid Lands Development Focus Kenya (Aldef) - Improving legal and human rights in Wajir County ALDEF-K is a local NGO based in Wajir County. The organization successfully completed the fifth phase of paralegal training with financial support from the Embassy. In the year 2008 Arid Lands Development Focus Kenya (ALDEF-K) partnering with Finish embass
y initiated a project that resulted in the training of 40 paralegals in two divisions of Wajir district. The purpose of the project was to enable the marginalized communities living in Wajir District to access justice enjoy their legal rights as well as ha
ve other development benefits.  The training of paralegals raised great interest in the community as a result of the services the paralegals were providing. In the preceding years the trained paralegals formed a network and opened an office for purpose of 
enhancing service delivery.The demand for paralegal service were however high and this prompted additional support to train more paralegals. To date ALDEF has trained 240 paralegals. The trained paralegals have enabled individuals in the community especial
ly women and girls to access justice. The paralegals have also come to the aid of the community in issues such as corruption and injustices to the communities by the law enforcement agencies. In 2012 the pararegal network (WAPNET) and ALDEF facilitated the
 filing of a case in the high court of Garissa against the Kenyan Military and the Police for injustices committed on women children and innocent villagers. The case has dragged on beyond the intended period of one year. WAPNET and ALDEF intend to pursue t
he case to the logical conclusion so that it can serve as a precedent.Historical injustices in Northern Kenya date back to the pre-colonial era. A number of gross human rights violations sticks out like the Wagalla massacre in 1984 Bagalla massacre in 1998
 Garissa Gubaay massacre and the shifta wars that happened immediately after independence. In all this the State perpetrated excessive human rights violations and those affected have never had justice to date.Even after the enactment of the new Constitutio
n (2010) communities in Northern region continue to undergo human rights violations.
F.a: Strong transport unions ITF commissions updated baseline research about the Southern Africa transport corridors problems based on documents and field research. The results will be presented in a meeting where continuation project will be planned. At the same time Mozambican union
s start national level information and organizing campaigning. Zambians are supported by Namibians when having difficulties driving on Namibian territory. During October Action Week visible campaign action at border crossings will be organized. ITF’s wid
er action plan includes five countries: South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Swaziland, but of these AKT and SASK support Mozambique and Zambia, whilst ITF uses its own resources to cover the participation of the others.The purpose of the pilot is
 to compile baseline data about the problems and solution options of transport workers and their unions, in order to towards the end of the year develop a longer-term plan for making the unions stronger. Workers face the same problems as along other transp
ort corridors: differences in salaries between countries even in the same companies and generally low income level, non-compliance with work and rest time and other safety regulations, harassment by authorities and corruption, robberies of cargo goods, lac
k of sanitation facilities en route, long border crossing waiting times and border bureaucracy as well as inadequacies in social security. At the same time when a more precise mapping is done to form the basis for continuation planning, Mozambican and Zamb
ian unions will already 2015 start tackling these issues through campaigning.Immediate results will be exact information for continuation planning as a result of the mapping. Additionally the visibility of the unions in Mozambique and Zambia will improve, 
and this is expected to bring new members to the unions. Beneficiaries are Mozambican and Zambian transport workers working in road transport, railways and ports.ITF is the international umbrella organization of transport workers that with this project sup
ports its affiliates in two countries. The project is linked to wider ITF interest representation tackling the problems along Southern Africa Transport Corridors focusing on transport hubs and corridors. ITF coordinates and manages the project from its Lon
don head office and Nairobi Africa regional office, and is recruiting a local project coordinator in Mozambique to ensure progress with local level focal points in each country.
