ll Grants Fund. 2) Driving forward an institutional and service skills framework for CSOs and ensuring that CSFN micro-grantees are able to benefit from this framework. The framework will be fully integrated into the merging national vocational training sy
stem giving it access to the levy that will shortly be imposed on all Namibian employers (including NGOs) and ensuring consistency measurable standards and sustainability in capacity building. 3) developing structures to coordinatoe the work of organizatio
ns engaged in small granting schemes among existing small fund granters to civil society and more generally among private sector small grant givers who might wish to engage with civil society4) developing a detailed strategy for accessing funding from the 
corporate sector and implementing the first months of the strategy to build a long-term income stream for civil society

World Bank administered KP/FATA/Balochistan Multi-Donor Trust Fund Pakistan's border regions of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (KP) Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Balochistan suffer from prolonged conflict and social instability. The socio-economic development in these areas is significantly lagging behind the rest o
f the country. The lack of economic opportunities and public services as well as weak governmental structures has created a breeding ground for extremist Islamist ideology the development of a variety of terrorist groups and crime. Also the status of women
 is particularly poor in these areas. The Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) administered by the World Bank supports the development of Pakistan's border regions and the implementation of Pakistan?s reconstruction program. It also reduces the possibility of an 
escalation or recurrence of conflict. The Fund complements and strengthens the Pakistani government?s action in the following areas: (i) efficient sustainable and reliable provision of basic services, (ii) community-based development of livelihoods infrast
ructure and services, (iii) creating market opportunities and revenue-generating activities, (iv) recovery from the crisis supporting peace-building and reconstruction, and (v) capacity development institutional performance and efficiency. The MDTF benefit
s 4.87 million people in the region. Supporting Pakistan's border areas is part of a regional approach and is in accordance with Finland?s action plan for Afghanistan. Supporting the development of the border regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan is a logica
l and coherent part of Finland's efforts to support the development and consolidation in Afghanistan. Carrying out efficient development interventions in the turbulent Pakistani border areas is very challenging but at the same time necessary for the stabil
ity of South Asia. Finland has granted 5.6 million euros to the MDTF in 2010. By replenishing the Fund with 2 million euros in 2014 Finland will continue to support the Fund's activities until 2020.

iod 2010-2014. The evaluation is very timely because the current framework agreements will come to an end in 2015 and the evaluation will thus bring forward evidence based information for future decision making.The evaluation will be done on the base of do
cument material interviews and field trips to case study countries (Angola and Cambodia). The approach and working modality will be participatory. The tender process will be started in so that the evaluation could be started in January 2015. The evaluation
 results are expected to be had in August 2015. The budget of the evaluation is 200 000 Euros.

rting national development goals. Workshops will be arranged for the  personnel customers and decision makers expert help in implementing and training is used study tours for the personnel are arranged.The results will be formulated into modules with a pur
pose of duplicating the model even in other countries in the future.

Frame agreement with NGO (Suomen Lahetysseura ry) The project aims at encouraging communities to take part in the most vulnerable children's care, protection and the provision of the essentials of life in the children's home communities. Action is based on a comprehensive and sustainable community based s
upport model for AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children.The grandmothers? groups in the Gwai area were formed as an informal response to Zimbabwe?s 1990s political chaos, deepening economic plight, livelihood challenges, deteriorating situation of HIV 
and AIDS and drought years. The grandmothers of a Lutheran congregation in a small country village in Matebeleland organized themselves in order to take care of orphans in their community. Soon they were joined by grandmothers in other churches. Thus was b
orn the first Grandmothers groups in the area.Over the years the activity has expanded and become established, in part, as a result of systematic efforts in copying the model to other areas. The model as such provides an alternative to the institutional ca
re of orphans in Zimbabwe. At the moment there are at least 14 grandmothers? groups in Chingoma area. The group size and activity varies, but larger groups support up to 250 children. It is estimated that in Zimbabwe, more than 850 000 children have been o
rphaned due to HIV.Grandmothers? groups define themselves the targeted children. They are familiar with the community and the situation in families and are therefore able to assess and prioritize the situation of individual children. The children are faced
 with a wide range of economic and social problems: stress, sadness, stigma, discrimination, isolation, economic deprivation, lack of access to education, domestic work burden and fear for the future of their own and their loved ones.Grandmothers meet a wi
de range of roles in children's lives. They provide psycho-social support, such as discussion and plays with the children, as well as storytelling and discussions to strengthen children's identity, belonging to society and self-esteem. They also support th
e education of children by encouraging, assisting with homework and providing school fees, school uniforms and school books. Grandmothers also teach the children daily living skills, such as sewing, small-scale farming, cooking, cleaning up and washing up,
 as well as provide them with food during the dry season and support them with cultivation during the crop season.
