Frame agreement with NGO (Siemenpuu) Being the world?s biggest paper consumer, China holds big responsibility for the environmental impacts of paper and pulp industry.  Indonesian government has confirmed that the pulp and paper industry is one of the two main causes (the other being palm oil
 industry) of Indonesian rainforest damage, biodiversity decline, soil erosion and greenhouse gas emissions. Currently Indonesia's forest protection programs are growing fast and the influence of China's market behaviour cannot be ignored. The local enviro
nmental paper network needs support from Chinese environmental protection activists. In this project CEPN will make a case study on APP and APRIL?s factories in China and their suppliers? production conditions and environmental impacts, to convey informati
on to Chinese consumers, printing industry and the media. Indonesian rainforest protection is striven to be achieved through regional cooperation e.g. by exchanging information and experiences between Chinese and Indonesian environmental groups. The projec
t also aims to carry out workshops, where the information and conceptions obtained in a study tour to Indonesian logged areas will be shared with the CEPN member organizations. Furthermore, the overall aim is to engage Chinese banks in environmental dialog
ue, and to actively discuss with them the possibilities to make changes in the financing criteria of their investments to better meet the environmental requirements.CEPN receives advisory support for their project from the North American and European Envir
onmental Paper Networks that have a broader experience in the field. Green Camel Bell is (GCB) an organization established in 2004 to protect the environment and restore the ecological system in West China. It acts as a legal holder and financial coordinat
or for the China Environmental Paper Network (CEPN), which will be implementing the project. Since its founding, the GCB has played an active role in combating environmental crisis, carrying out public environmental education, promoting environmental activ
ities in schools and training environmental volunteers etc. especially in Gansu, the home province of the organization. The CEPN network, which was established in 2010 with Siemenpuu's support, focuses on environmental impacts of pulp and paper industry. I
t encourages consumers to put pressure with their choices on the paper companies for more sustainable operation. It also ambitiously aims to change the position and financial policy of Chinese ban
Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) Eritrea?s education system has significantly improved an expanded since the independence in 1991. Between 1991/2 and 2010/11, total elementary school enrolment doubled and the middle and secondary school enrolment levels tripled.While the Government of Eri
trea has made gains in student enrollment, it is only one aspect of reaching the Education for All goals, another essential goal is building and upholding teacher quality. Currently many of the teachers in Eritrea are unqualified and inexperienced, resulti
ng in poor student performance.Recent initiatives by the Eritrean Ministry of Education are indications of the motivation to continue and expand reforms in education. According to the Eritrean National ICT for Education Policy Plan, all key education secto
r actors indicate the interest for ICTs into education and FCA can offer qualified support to this work. FCA is therefore planning an initiative aimed at ensuring universal and uninterrupted access to quality education and working for better learning outco
mes. Overall objective of the project is to increase the access to and quality of education in Eritrea. Specific objectives will be set after needed assessments for project planning taking place during the last quarter of 2014.Initial proposals for specifi
c objectives are:1. Teacher Training: Strengthen the quality of teacher training in education institutions.2. Professional Development in ICT: Build the capacity of Eritrean educators to implement quality education and improve educational outcomes through 
integration of ICT.3. Curriculum: Improve access to relevant and quality curriculum to enable learners to gain the skills, knowledge and expertise they need to succeed.The project will be implemented in collaboration with the Government of Eritrea and the 
local education institutions. FCA can make use of other partnerships in the sectors of education and technology and context-specific partnerships. An assessment has been conducted of potential Finnish partners who could potentially contribute to the projec
t.  It should be noted that a final selection of partnerships will be carried out together with the Eritrean Government after the assessments and negotiations of cooperation are complete.
Partnership for Action on Green Economy PAGE This partnership project by four UN agencies - UNEP UNITAR UNIDO and ILO - aims at helping 30 countries over 7 years to achieve equitable and sustainable transformation of national economic structures. This transformation will make economic activities ? co
nsumption and production at the macroeconomic level ? not only generate equitably shared income and quality jobs for women and men but also contribute to environmental improvement and poverty eradication. The key to this transformation is shifting investme
nt and policies towards the creation of a new generation of assets: clean technologies energy and resource efficient infrastructure well-functioning ecosystems a skilled labour force with green jobs driven by strong institutions and good governance.
High-Level Task Force for the International Conference on Population and Development (HLTF-ICPD) The High-Level Task Force for the International Conference for Population and Development (ICPD) is mandated as an independent body to provide an authoritative progressive voice for advancing three pillars essential to poverty eradication and sustainable d

Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) The project strengthens the capacity to defend workers' rights of private security sector trade unions and improve working conditions in this sector in Colombia.In Latin America, trade unions in services sector, particularly in private security sector, are
 weak. The sector is quite new and expanding rapidly, and workers' union affiliation rate is very low and the trade union culture is lacking. Salaries in the private property services sector are not enough to sustain a family and workers face serious risks
, especially in banks and money transfers, but also in supermarkets and night shifts. Many guards work alone which weakens unionizing in trade unions and the knowledge of one' s labor rights. Trade unions are dispersed and the growing use of agency labor m
akes union work even more difficult. Employers have strong anti-union attitudes and policies, mainly because low labor costs are the main competitive advantages for security enterprises. The project strengthens trade unions'  capacities to monitor the impl
ementation of framework agreements and legislation, supports trade union unity in Colombia and promotes social dialogue between unions, sector companies and Colombian government. At the end of this project, a regional trade union network for Prosegur worke
rs has been raised and the networks for securitas, G4S and Brinks have been strengthened, Colombian unions have a joint action plan and database for collective bargaining, and union activists have been trained in trade union rights and collective bargainin
g, among other themes. The beneficiaries of this project are the activists of the private security sector unions. Indirectly, the project can benefit the 51 800 workers in this sector in Colombia. The project is implemented by UNI Global Union together wit
h its private security sector member unions.

Transitioning Afghan Special School to Inclusive Education (TASSTIE) Inequality and inequity in education remain matter of great concern in Afghanistan. Approximately 50% of children remain out of school and many who are enrolled in school drop out or do not attend due to the lack of inclusiveness.  With support from Serve 
the Ministry of Education (MoE) has just completed their first Inclusive + Child Friendly Education Policy in order to ensure access to and quality of education for all children regardless their gender abilities disabilities backgrounds and circumstances. 
 The MoE has already begun trainings in Inclusive Education (IE) in several areas in Afghanistan including Nangahar province.SHIP school was established in 1991 to serve the educational needs of deaf children.  The school later expanded to educating childr
en with intellectual disabilities and then recently in 2012 we began our reverse inclusion where the disabled and non-disabled children could be educated together in the same classroom. Many said this would not be possible. However SHIP has proven that it 
is possible. Serve's goal from its beginning has been to create inclusive communities.  We now believe the community is ready to begin handover of the SHIP school to the MoE as an example of inclusive education.  In order to make this a reality we will wor
k with students parents community and other relevant stakeholders to begin advocacy with the government to take complete responsibility for the education of the students.  We believe this is possible because the government has already taken the responsibil
ity for other special schools.  To accomplish the objective of SHIP handover the following steps will be taken:1. Preparation of MoE schools by implementing Serve Inclusive Education (IE) model2. Preparation of SHIP students for inclusion in the prepared i
nclusive MoE schools. 3. Preparation of SHIP teachers parents and community for the handover4. Ensure normal and smooth operation of SHIP during the transitional periodWe will gradually release responsibility to the government after they have been trained 
and equipped with the necessary skills and tools to provide sustainable and quality education for all students. After the handover Serve will continue to follow-up and support the inclusive MoE schools through the CBR (Community-based Rehabilitation) funct
ion of SHIP capacity of which will be increased to support increased number of clients.
KADIEP: Kalakan and Dasht e Barchi Inclusive Education Project Inequality and inequity in education remain matters of great concern in Afghanistan. The education of all children regardless of their gender abilities disabilities backgrounds and circumstances are a major challenge. Approximately 50% of children remain o
ut of school and many who are enrolled in school drop out or do not attend. With support from Serve Afghanistan the Ministry of Education (MoE) has just completed their first Inclusive + Child Friendly Education Policy. However government schools have limi
ted resources and expertise to include Children with Disabilities (CwD). Over the three years of the project staff will implement Serve's comprehensive model of Inclusive Education (IE) to improve access to and quality of education for CwDs in 15 governmen
t schools in Kalakan and Dasht e Barchi in Kabul province. The model includes the following:1. Establishment of and support to school-based Inclusive Education Advisory Committees (IEAC) playing a pivotal role in ensuring the quality of IE and in raising c
ommunity awareness and behavioral change in disability.2. Training of master trainers in braille sign language and IE. Master trainers will in turn train the teachers of the targeted schools according to Training of Trainers principles.3. Development of te
aching and learning materials for various categories and training teachers to use them.4. School preparation for hearing and visually impaired children in order for them to attend the regular government schools with an IE curriculum and approach.Additional
ly staff will establish two Accelerated Learning Programmes (ALPs) a model initiated by the Ministry of Education (MoE) in order to bring overage CwDs into the government school system. The MoE?s ALP allows over-age Afghan children to complete two cycles o
f education in one calendar year using the regular MoE curriculum. The ALP represents the only entry point for over-age CwDs into the formal education system.  In addition Serve recognizes that inclusive education requires a proactive approach to policy an
d practice as well as a multi-stakeholder approach between civil society and government ministries especially the Ministry of Education.  Therefore we choose a participatory comprehensive effort that operates on multiple levels: individual groups and insti
tutions with the aim to bring about changes of behaviour in a range of stakeholders that would result in positive outcomes for students and their communities.
