ree different peace processes. The current peace process is considered widely to have good possibilities to be successful in ending the conflict. Long-term conflict has resulted in civil society, including trade union movement, acting mainly in the very ma

ll as in the peace process itself. Trade union movement needs to have concrete alternative proposals and models on how to improve the quality of labor and strengthen democracy. The trade union movement needs to build a new role and identity as during the c

tions.At the end of the project Colombian trade union movement has a joint agenda to promote Decent Work in the post-conflict society and the role of the trade union movement is strengthened in the society and in the peace process. A research is conducted

f Karamojongthat in Eastern Uganda in a very underdeveloped area around Mt. Elgon practice it. Currently the FGM-ceremony is practiced regardless of the law every other year in December. It is a practice dating back thousands of years and associated with b
eliefs that people still want to hold on partly based on ignorance partly hoping to maintain their valued tradition. The main goal of the project is to create a network of cooperation between the actors in local government administration police education h
ealth care and civil society organizations including  christian churces. They can change the general opinion against FGM when working in together. If needed they can together create a less harmful transition ritual.Central development policy objectives add
ressed in the project relate to health of girls and women.  Abandoning FGM will release girls and women from even life threatening damage done to them.  It will improve gender equality since it will make women socially accepted actors in the community with
out being mutilated. This will improve the status of girls and women and overall human rights in this remote and underdeveloped area. The project will establish a new operational structure to bring together the various local actors and opinion builders in 
the area. This will help them in learning how to develop their own community together promote democracy and foremost to improve the human dignity and rights of girls and women.The most central project tasks relate to training the trainers and supporting th
e local actors and opinion builders in their work against FGM.  The local inhabitants are predominantly Christians. Churches are the most important grass root actors in people?s lives thus having a power to impact the opinions on FGM as well.  Therefore th
e project involves the various denominations in the area and their leaders in addition to the local government educational and other actors.
