 capital flight tax evasion tax competition and other harmful trends in tax policy and practice.TJN-A aims to foster strong partnerships between its members and other actors in promoting tax justice in Africa. To achieve this the organization seeks to esta
blish and strengthen national platforms and coalitions on taxation. Currently there are existing platforms in Cameroon Ghana Sierra Leone South Africa Kenya Uganda Tanzania and Zambia. The East African Tax and Governance Network an East African initiative

Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Kazakhstan The project will help to promote the first pilot efforts on inclusive education for disabled children in Kazakhstan. Inclusive education is proclaimed as one of state priorities in the policy towards people with disabilities. However there is still limited
 state support for creation of necessary conditions to make it successful. Discriminatory mentality stigma and physically inaccessible environments at schools make it almost impossible for disabled children to enrol in the standard primary education which 
in turn constrain their opportunities for higher education and employment. The project will facilitate inclusive education at pilot school in Astana by creating necessary technical methodological and cultural conditions further promoting best practice to t
he national level.

lso in the near future. It is justified that also the main portion of Finnish aid for Afghanistan continues through ARTF.Since the beginning 2014 half of the Finnish ARTF-support is planned to go through the general basket 25 % through NSP (National Solida
rity Programme) and 25 % through EQUIP (Education Quality Improvement Project).NSP is widely regarded as the best aid program in Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of NSP-projects have been implemented at the village level. Projects have usually been related t
o infra water irrigation education and energy. NSP has diverted the peace dividends to more than 22 million villagers.EQUIP enables children's especially girl's rights to receive high quality education. EQUIP support also the school building and maintenanc

gnificant.

hree-year Joint Gender + Mediation Strategy in 2011 aiming to enhance the gender and mediation capacities of envoys teams and mediators.

pects of peace-building and democracy and to publish them in local regional or national media. in 2012 gate-keeper journalists were sensitized to IJ. The second part of the project will take the training from Kathmandu to eastern far-western and mid-wester
n parts of the country. The overall objective is to increase and widen the field of investigative journalism. The intermediate objectives will be similar to earlier efforts. Refresh and enhance the skills of journalists in investigative journalism which is
 key to increasing the quality of the debate in the media? Produce a quality content that will raise the bar for all media in Nepal. Inform the public on the issues in a manner that is not done by the media which essentially remains caught up in day-to-day
 reporting. Better inform the general public on the issues of the day and contribute towards their decision making process and influence the debate during constitution writing and upcoming elections.  The major outcome of the project is expected to support
 democratic governance and peace process in Nepal through investigative journalism. But the immediate expected outcomes are: Provide training to 75 young journalists from different part of Nepal in the field of investigative journalism,? Produce at least 5
0 well- researched articles and publish them in the media. All or the best articles compiled and published as a book (in Nepali and English) for wider dissemination. Better understanding of IJ  issues and greater coverage by media
Frame agreement with NGO (Fida Int.) Empowering Maasai Girls and Communities in Narok District. The project focuses on empowering a local partner to work with Maasai girls and their communities in the Narok region. The position of women and girls in the Maasai society is quite poor. The Maasa
i have a tradition of practicing female genital mutilation (FGM) and early forced marriages. For women, these practices are harmful and many Maasai girls run away to escape them. In 1997 the local Full Gospel Church in Narok established a safe-house for su
ch Maasai girls. Later the church asked for Fida?s assistance to make a wider impact on the Maasai communities. In addition to the safe-house, which is supported through child sponsorship, the programme now includes various components. The programme offers
 training for the partner in e.g. Community Health Education (CHE) and HIV/AIDS questions. Adult education in the local Maasai communities is also an essential part of the programme. Maasai girls are also supported and encouraged to enter high school and p
ostgraduate studies, when possible. Through the programme, the partner?s capacity to work with the Maasai communities increases. And as a result of effective development work, the attitudes and practices among the Maasai begin the change. This, in turn, wi
ll improve the overall status of Maasai girls.
