Project "REMA" for assistance to victims of consecutive insecurity due to 2015 elections in Burundi Since March 2015, socio-political tensions have been increasing in Burundi ahead of the general elections to be held in June. The upcoming Presidential and Legislative elections are considered critical for long-term peace and stability of the country. Tensions, however, are continuing to increase. Protests between supporters of the opposing political parties have become increasingly violent, mostly in the capital Bujumbura, which is causing an increase in numbers leaving Burundi as fears grow for their safety and they seek refuge/protection in neighbouring DRC. During the demonstrations, there are some cases of wounded persons across the country and particularly in Bujumbura who are channelled in different hospitals, also internal IDPs are seeking protection in some secured public sites such as churches, parishes, schools... 

As the situation in Burundi remains tense, unstable and unpredictable it is expected that more Burundians will flee the country. The UNCHR Regional Response plan (May 2015) has indicated that there will be 30,000 refugees by September 2015. A joint rapid multi-sectorial assessment (20-22 May 2015) undertaken by CAFOD, Caritas Uvira, CODEVAH and Action Aid in the localities around the Ruzizi river, which separates DRC and Burundi, confirmed an increase in numbers of refugees crossing the border each day and estimates that in Uvira alone this will reach 20,000 people by August. 

Current analysis demonstrates a large proportion of refugees are women, children and older people. They are extremely vulnerable as they cross the border, and seek refuge in transit camps or with host communities. There are reports that the influx into Ruzizi plain, may exacerbate existing tensions between Burundi and Bafulero communities which will cause additional tensions and place already vulnerable groups at increased risk. Increasing demands on already over-stretched basic services, such as water services, is expected to intensify tensions and the health of refugees is likely to deteriorate as they cannot afford to pay for clean water. At present there is no sign of price inflation in the local markets, or for services, but due to rise in demand by increasing populations and by international actors procuring goods this could alter the local market economy. This will make already vulnerable groups extremely vulnerable and place their lives in greater danger.

Through this project, Caritas Burundi aims to provide medical care for 500 local and internally displaced victims of violence and food assistance to about 400 internally displaced households.
Contributing to conflict transformation and social cohesion among displaced, demobilized returnees The project seeks to address the issue of social cohesion between displaced, demobilized, returnees and residents in the hills around Bujumbura in Burundi. These groups were separated during the war that Burundi faced during 1993 and were people were killed on ethnic basis. The 2015 recent elections were held in a tense environment and regional and African initiatives are underway to require dialogue between those in power and the other major players in the Burundi crisis to prevent the country from slipping further into the war. Through proposed project’ activities, people living in IDP camps, returnees, demobilized and residents will have a framework of encounter and exchange in order to dispel mistrust. Each week, these people will hold meetings where they will discuss peace and coexistence. Project plans to implement 27 SILCs (Saving and Internal Lending Communities) consisting of 20 people each living together in the hills. CDJP will not fund the SILCs’ capital start up. The initial capital will be granted by contributions from SILCs members. The project is planning to grant small premiums for field officers who will be responsible for the supervision of these SILCS. One Internal Micro credit expert will support SILCs management. SILCs members   will set a credit union that will be fuelled by contributions from members. After making contributions, they will proceed to the distribution of small credits to those who need them at an agreed interest rate in the group. SILC’s meeting planned will also be an opportunity to discuss the challenges of cohabitation in the hills and therefore an opportunity to resolve disputes. Project aims to focus on these common economic interests for beneficiaries that will promote collaboration, understanding, peaceful coexistence and even reconciliation.
By implementing this current project, changes that CDJP Bujumbura intends to contribute to are : 
•	The conflicts are managed and processed peacefully within beneficiaries
•	The social and political injustices are reduced in communities targeted 
•	Solidarity is consolidated between the war displaced, demobilized, repatriated and hills residents around Bujumbura
•	To gradually increase economic independence of SILCs members that will allow them to resist to political manipulation 
•	Project’s beneficiaries behaviours and attitudes changes that are reflected in their living environment by their support to the reconciliation and peaceful coexistence among them
•	Income levels and living conditions of displaced people, demobilized, residents and returnees is improved and thus they can withstand the various political manipulation.

The activities under this project will be executed in three parishes (Rushubi, Munanira and Kivoga) in the Archdiocese of Bujumbura.
Supporting Youths involvement on 2015 electoral process in Burundi This project seeks to increase knowledge on electoral issues and promote consideration for Human Rights by youths, and to increase communities’ awareness on election violence reduction in Burundi as well as protection for human rights defenders. 

The project aims to also contribute to improving peaceful cohabitation within Burundi’s youths, when running electoral processes, through teaching responsible citizenship and good electoral practices, sensitisation and advocacy for respect of Human Rights. 

Experiences to be gained in this project on youth peaceful involvement in electoral processes will be shared with youths from DRC and Rwanda to enhance relations. Experiences from the project will also be exchanged with Burundian civil society organisations who need to be involved as relevant actors.
Participation in governance process during the election and post electoral periods in Burundi This project intends to implement five activities:
- Observation of election process in Burundi
- Preparation of modules and tools of awareness about the principles of good governance and about  the role of elected  representatives 
- Awareness of the new elected officials and representatives (450 in total) for their involvement in the democratic process 
- Conduct advocacy activities based on monitoring field activities of the elected. 

The CDJP with the parish facilitators will follow the elected on how they involve themselves on local governance issues  and prepare their reports. 
The CEJP will do the same thing - in collaboration with civil society stakeholders - at the national level.
Improving understanding and respect for human rights and civic responsibilities amongst Burundian po The project aims to contribute to improving peaceful cohabitation in 4 municipalities of Bujumbura diocese through
trainings, sensitization and advocacy for respect of Human Rights. On one hand the project seeks to increase knowledge and promote consideration for Human Rights by Police Forces, and on the other to increase Communities (Particularly
taxi drivers providing trans border services and traders) understanding of their rights and civic responsibilities. 
This project will use a bottom – up approach, by strengthening existing networks of “Peace Apostles” (Apotres de Paix) in selected Basic Ecclesiastic Community (CEB: Communaute Ecclesiastique de Base) in Kamenge, Cibitoke, Musaga and Kanyosha.
CDJP Bujumbura will lead and coordinate an exchange forum between Peace Apostles and Local administrative and police authorities.
Education to peaceful cohabitatio between the local communities of the Diocese of BUBANZA This is to sensitize members of local communities to peaceful coexistence  by cohabitation education sessions . It will also raise awareness on the value and importance of the elections as being a popular choice and one of the models of democracy.
Activities to be conducted are the following :
1. Workshops training in peaceful cohabitation and peaceful resolution of conflicts 2. Training workshops in monitoring and electoral observation; 3. Training in monitoring and observation of human rights. 4. Two visits for the exchange of experience in 2 border dioceses (BUKAVU in DRC) and CYANGUGU in the RWANDA
Support to the cohabitation of the population in the electoral period This project will be carried out for two needs:
1° need to work for the good cohabitation affecting electoral protagonists and the administrative municipal and provincial authorities for a good electoral success,
2° need, at the local level, to put together the various groups of the population.
The main activities involved in this operation are:
- Meetings with leaders of political parties on the electoral and on cohabitation issues   
- Sensibilisation of managers of election commissions, of the administrative and communal authorities and of leaders of Christian communities on the electoral issues.
- Training of managers of parish focal points on civic and democratic rights.
Supporting fellowship activities of Caritas Burundi CAFOD has no institutional presence in Burundi and Rwanda since March 2013 where he implemented a psycho-social and livelihoods program. However, CAFOD continues to support and implement a Peace-building program in the Great Lakes region in both countries including the DRC. For this reason and because of its contribution in socio economic activities in Burundi, CAFOD participated in CARITAS Burundi Country forum to mark her Golden Jubilee in December 2013. One of recommendations from the forum was to jointly implement common project  symbolizing fellowship between CARITAS from North and CARITAS Burundi. Agreed project was the construction of a specialized medical Center. Caritas Burundi project aims implementing construction of the administrative block and lavatory as well as sensitization, preventive education and diagnostics activities for gynecological and breast tumors lesions.  The project falls under the National Program for Health Development, and contributes to the reduction of morbidity and mortality; it is clear throughout his objectives that it contributes to improving the health of women and her development and we know that women is the pillar of sustainable development in Africa and in Burundi.
The project to be implemented will have as target group women in general, especially women who have already given birth and who have breastfed because tumors are usually observed among the women who have already given birth and women have breastfed babies. 
The project will be implemented in Gitega in the center of the country 110 km from the capital Bujumbura, more precisely in Mushasha neighborhood in the town of Gitega, near Cathedral of Gitega and in the province of Gitega.
Contributing to the restoration of confidence, security, peace and reconciliation in Burundi This proposed project seeks to restore a spirit of confidence within the population. It’s planned to focus both on Burundian refugees living in camps in DRC, Rwanda and Tanzania as well as beneficiaries living in-country especially the youths mostly affected by this crisis. The restoration of peace, security and true reconciliation requires the participation of all stakeholders including women and youths in particular. Project aims also to take advantage of women leading role in the current conflict in Burundi to get them strongly involved in restoring enable peace. Thereby, a “Women of Faith” network supported by Burundian episcopal justice and peace commission (CEJP Burundi) already operational in the field of search for peace carry out solidarity visits to Burundians refugee camps in DRC, Tanzania and Rwanda to inquire women most problems, their views and propositions for restoring peace. The data that will be collected in these visits will serve in drafting the advocacy paper with relevant targets.
Socio-economic capacity building for vulnerable households and setting-up of human rights respect Burundi is gradually recovering from the war which lasted almost 15 years. With the signing of cease-fire between PALIPEHUTU-FNL and the government in 2006, there is a period of calm in all the Bujumbura rural hills. People who had moved to other neighbouring countries are gradually returning in their homes. Thus to this situation, social and economic life reconstruction becomes more and more imperative and urgent. 
In Burundi, the main income generating activity of the population is agriculture: more than 95% of people live are based on their land. Thus, the land remains the main source of income for the vast majority of households but it no longer offers to them opportunities to support their self-sufficiency following the vagaries of climate change and various plant diseases (Cassava mosaic). Add to this the looting of livestock during the war years.
The project will contribute to solve the problems mentioned above, by distributing agricultural inputs, goats for domestic livestock and the rebuilding of peace among communities.

Scaling-up the adoption of electric mobility in Tunisia To scale up and catalyze the adoption of electric mobility across Tunisia resulting in GHG emission reductions, and position the country as a logistic hub for the region Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. Economic benefits:The project will have multiple socio-economic benefits at the national and local levels. These benefits will help to boost the interest of integration the EVs in Tunisia and this will contribute to global reduction in GHG emissions. So, the benefits at economic growth will be in improved energy efficiency, employment prosperity and competitive productivity. The national and local quality of air is a critical benefit to be gained by the promotion of EVs.In gender point of view aspect, the proposed project will develop access for both women and men to safer, cleaner, and more efficient transport, thereby will increase the economic growth by minimizing travel time and ensuring reliable modes of transport.Social benefits:        This project is intended to help Tunisia create additional work opportunities, develop technological skills, and thus increase revenue and improve the quality of live. The implementation of EVs would create a business environment for both men and women. In particular, the integration of electric vehicles will decrease Tunisia's dependency on gasoline will play an important role in decreasing fuel consumption and mitigating CO2, CO, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Particular Matter (PM).

Towards a Sustainable City through Energy Efficiency in Kairouan To promote green buildings and efficient lighting in alignment with the objectives of the enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution, the Sustainable Development Strategy of Kairouan and the National Programme for Sustainable Cities in Tunisia Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. 79.The UNDP-GEF project is expected to deliver the following socio-economic benefits:·The project is locally based and all investments (GEF, Municipality of Kairouan and private sector developer) will take place locally therefore creating wealth and jobs locally. As mentioned above, the project will ensure that all hired jobs will be carried out locally;·There will also be indirect economic impacts related to the stimulation of demand for energy efficient building materials and efficient lamps for public lighting. Therefore, it can be expected that jobs will be created locally in the value chain for the supply of these building materials and lamps;·The choice of geographical locations for the substitution of lamps has taken into account the needs of women, and mainly for their safety and recreation. The GEF investments will therefore provide direct pro-women benefits;·The energy bill related to public lighting is a heavy burden for the municipality, and the use of efficienct lighting paves the way for energy savings that can be invested elsewhere by the municipality to enhance the quality of life of the citizens of Kairouan;·It is known that the extreme weather conditions will increase in the future including extreme high and low temperatures. While the application of energy building codes provide direct GHG emission reductions, well-insulated buildings also provide a direct adaptation response to climate change and climate variability;·The project will deveop a strategy for enhancing the value chain for locally-fabricated bricks that will have positive benefits on local job creation and economic activities in the local value chain for construction materials. In addition, this strategy will provide strong benefits to local knowledge and cultural heritage. The latter relates to the production of locally-fabricated bricks of good quality standards for the maintenance of cultural heritage sites like the Médina;·All of the above socioeconomic benefits are underpinned by global environmental benefits of reducing GHG emissions. The project will also developed site-specific ESMPs for building constriction and lamp replacement that will promote good environmental and social practices, thereby improving the quality of life of citizens in Kairouan; and·The development of a Replication Plan and formulation of climate finance concept note will contribute to the scaling up of all the socioeconomic and environmental benefits of the project. It is pointed out that the project directly supports the following Sustainable Development Goals: SDG13 – Climate Action; SDG7 – Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG5 – Gender Equality; SDG17 – Partnerships to achieve the Goal.
Strengthening Tunisiaâ€™s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Transparency Framework The goal of this project is to strengthen Tunisiaâ€™s institutional and technical capacity for tracking progress made in implementing NDC as well as for measuring and reporting on emissions, mitigation and adaptation activities, and support needed and received to meet transparency related requirements as defined in Article 13 of the Paris Agreement Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The global environmental impacts generated by this project are directly related to the implementation of the commitments made by Tunisia´s NDC. These have important benefits in the areas of mitigation, adaptation, capacity building and finance.Global environmental benefits will be achieved by supporting the Government of Tunisia to coordinate actions and implement and report on its updated NDC: namely the 45% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 as compared to the 2010 level.Establishment of institutional arrangements for NDC tracking is thought not only to be coherent with the Article 13 of the Paris Agreement related to transparency but is also a determining factor for implementing and achieving its NDC target, and thus for the Tunisia’s contribution to fulfil Paris Agreements engagements.The definite formalization of the Inventory System will allow Tunisia to track GHG mitigation progress, and better fulfil the transparency requirements, while providing international community with reliable information to be used to track Paris Agreement progress at international level.The purpose of having M&amp;E system for a couple of most vulnerable sectors is to facilitate the identification and implementation of Adaptation and resilience actions, and thus to address priority concerns at national levels, while providing valuable replicable solutions at international level.While 18% of the Tunisia’s updated NDC target are contingent on international support, the project allows through the design and implementation of an MRV system that tracks support needed and received (finance, capacity building, and Technology Transfer) to improve knowledge and modalities to monitor such complicated parameters and thus to provide for adjusting international support mechanisms towards enhancement of developing Parties contribution to the achievement of Paris Agreement objectives.
