YIAGA Africa- Ready to Run Yiaga Africa launched the Ready To Run campaign to support young women, and men with competence, capacity and character to run for elective office in the 2019 general elections and beyond. Ready To Run is the response to a need observed during the Not Too Young To Run campaign, to equip young people with the requisite capacity needed to run an issue based campaign, win elections and occupy elective office. Upon its launch, the Ready To Run campaign set out to achieve four (4) major objectives, to locate,inspire, support, and provide linkages to young people vying for elective office.

Ultimately, the Ready To Run campaign will seek to mobilize young people to engage the political process towards the 2023 elections with a view to increasing youth candidacy and youth representation in the decision-making process by 10%. The campaign will engage with different stakeholders, including political parties and the joint committee on electoral reforms in ensuring the emergence of young people as candidates in the 2023 general elections, while leveraging on our existing structures at the state level to galvanize support for young people running for elective office in their locality through media campaigns on radio.

Following the passage into law of the age reduction bill, popularly referred to as the #NotTooYoungToRun Act, which widened the space for young people to participate in the political process, and resulted in an increase in youth candidacy in the 2019 general elections, the low number of young people that contested and won their election still calls for concern. Data from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) shows that young people make up more than half the number of registered voters, with 51.11% of registered voters being betweenthe ages of 18 -35. In addition, the recent #EndSARS protests against police brutality led by young people across the country indicates that there is a renewed willingness to participate in the political process. Thus, there is a need to leverage on these numerical strengths and yearnings in mobilizing young people to engage the political process towards the 2023 general elections. The solutions that are being proposed are aimed at engaging with political parties towards ensuring open, transparent and direct party primaries, reduction in campaign costs for young people and increased inclusion and representation as party candidates.
Devorent Nigeria Ltd. (SLA) Our strategy combines service delivery, such as trainings, with influencing interventions to change policies, laws, attitudes and beliefs. This has proved successful in the last three years. The strategy engages young women and men from diverse backgrounds to be a driving force for social progress and optimism about the future in their respective countries and across Africa.

When we worked with stakeholders in each country to analyse the current situation faced by young men and women, we found three common key needs:
1. Improving curricula and training methods, creating new modules and connecting the curricula to the demands of the market.
2. Innovation to respond to social issues such as climate change, gender rights and urbanization.
3. Linking service delivery interventions with influencing interventions # young people do not need only better training and new skills, but also changes to the system: policies, laws, practices and the attitudes and beliefs of their fellow citizens, employers and the government.
These conclusions have guided this proposal in further developing interventions and adapting activities for each country for 2020-2022. We will highlight new interventions in the following chapters.

Our strategy is based on systems thinking: trying to understand how different parts of a system interact to effect change, rather than understanding specific components in isolation. Systems thinking can help to develop truly sustainable and transformative change. The below graphic illustrates the #system# for youth seeking employment in Somaliland, mapping the relationships of actors including education institutions, hubs, teachers, government, banks, entrepreneurs, families and media.
Zawin Bayen-Youth for Citizenship PECiDN The Support Project for the Education of Youth for Citizenship and Decentralization (PECiDNY) aims at strengthening the capacities of local organizations (youth and women) and increasing their participation in the decision-making process. It will take place in the region of Niamey, more precisely in the five communal districts and the city of Tahoua. This project will be implemented by the NGO ZAW IN BAYEN in collaboration with partner organizations at the grassroots level, namely: 05 grassroots organizations. Each commune has a communal youth council office which is the gateway to meet the youth, all of which are responsible for supervising, trainingand accompanying young people in their actions to defend their rights and participate in local decision-making bodies. Working towards an ideal where young people and women, both urban and rural, become active actors of change so that their voices are heard and recognized in the communal spheres. Thus, this project aims to establish mechanisms and strategies for sustainable democratic dialogue, a better understanding of the rights and duties of citizens, and a better citizen culture that allows for participation in development at the grassroots level.
EI-CANSEA Southeast Asia is one of the largest global supplier markets for mineral raw materials; accounting for about US$250 billion in 2018.  In recent years, the aspirations of governments to achieve the target of net zero emissions by 2050 has led them to heighten their focus on sourcing critical minerals. They have forged ahead with various mining projects: involving upstream and/or downstream operations. While the green energy agenda is aimed at mitigating climate change risks, the transition from petroleum to alternative energy using green technologies, that demand critical minerals, has had serious environmental impacts. This has highlighted the need for wider stakeholder participation, particularly affected communities in mineral-rich resource nations to ensure the goal of a just and sustainable transition.
This project enable CANSEA to undertake critical Mineral study with the following objectives:

a) Build on the findings and insights from existing studies and reports on current trends and concerns with critical minerals’ mining, on environmental and human rights issues; and
b) Extrapolate the findings to determine the common gaps in national policies and impedimentsto a Just and Sustainable Transition in the region, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Vietnam, with reference to critical minerals mining.

The project Activities includes:

a) Mapping of different groups working on Critical Minerals in Southeast Asia
b) Consultation with Oxfam-CANSEA JET Regional Partnership and Network to present work-in-progress and get their inputs prior to completion of study.
c) Development of strategy on how report can be used by CSOs for advocacy with ASEAN.

Sub National DRM in Uganda In an effort to address  the challenges limiting  effective Local Revenue Mobilisation, in 2021, the  Local Government  Finance  commission finalized  the  development  of  a  Local Revenue  Mobilisation Strategy. It is expected that implementation of the strategy will contribute to enhanced local revenue mobilization and improved service delivery at the local government level. Furthermore, between 2015 to-date,  Oxfam in Uganda, SEATINI-Uganda, Public Affairs Centre-Uganda (PAC-U) and  Advocates for Research in Development-Uganda (ARID) have worked with Local Government officials in Acholi and West Nile regions as  well as the Teso Sub region  to  build  the  capacity of  Local Governments officials  to improve Local Government  systems, for  improved collection, allocation and  utilisation of  revenue. The  partners  have  also created  awareness  among  citizens  and  the  communities  on the  need  for them to pay their  taxes, influence  allocation of  revenue  and  further  demand  for  accountability on how  the  collected  revenueis  utilised.  Efforts  have  also previously been directed  towards  advocacy for  adoption of  policies  that create  a  conducive  environment  for  Local Revenue  Mobilisation. During the year 2021, Oxfam Uganda inpartnership with SEATINI Uganda, PAC-U, and ARID-Uganda implemented a Bill and Melinda Gates funded project titled: “Enhancing Equitable Subnational Revenue Mobilization in Gulu, and Soroti cities. As part of this project partners were able to develop and launch Local Revenue Enhancement Plans (LREPs) for the two cities. The  Local Revenue  Enhancement  plans are  part  of the  process  to ensure  that the newly  created cities  are  able  to improve their  revenue  collections  in order to ably finance the  provision of  services  for the  people. Therefore buildingon these interventions, in this new project, Oxfam and project partners  shall strengthen the  capacity of  targeted Local Governments  to  identify potential local revenue mobilisation sources, equitably mobilize, allocate  and  utilise  local revenues  from existing local/on sources  for improved  public service  delivery, to reduce dependence on central government fiscal transfers and  to strengthen the social contract to further empower citizens  to appreciate the  link between tax and  development  so as to play their  role  as  taxpayers  and  further  take up their right  to demand for  accountability from duty bearers for  better social services.

LLC - CREFA Project Climate Resilience for All (CREFA) is an innovative yearlong project designed by a consortium of nine (9) key organizational partners with expertise in community development, renewable energy, climate resilience, and policy dialogue and development. Led by Oxfam in Cambodia, the goal of CREFA is to address Cambodians’ vulnerability to climate change by targeted activities aimed at enhancing capabilities for mitigation and adaptation. Using a twin track approach of policy dialogue development coupled withlocal capacities for climate resilience, CREFA will strengthen responsive capacities, improve resilience, and promote sustainable development in line with SDG 7, SDG 12, and SDG 13. It will do so by working in close cooperation with 1) the National Council for Sustainable Development [NCSD] and the Department of Climate Change within the Ministry of Environment [MOE], 2) local provincial, district, and commune councilors, 3) private sector green growth actors including financial institutions, 4) other climate change CSOs and development partners, and, most importantly 4) SMEs and small holder farmers.

CREFA is positioned as the start of a multi-year Climate Initiative by Oxfam in Cambodia, whose aim the aim of which is the real transformation of climate challenges and risks into opportunities for equitable, sustainable growth. As such, the project aligns well with Oxfam’s current efforts in disaster risk reduction and social protection. It leverages the expertise of each of these the nine (9) Consortium partners and engages the private sector as well as thegovernment in tailored, responsive climate action activities designed to respond to Rio Marker 2 for both mitigation and adaptation. One of the key focal points of the project is to ensure that thefurthest left behind is targeted first; Oxfam recognizes the intersectionality of marginalization and the enhanced vulnerability of groups that have multiple characteristics of vulnerability. In particular, the post COVID-19 context calls for a more robustand inclusive climate resilience approach that targets people with disability, ethnic minorities, and women. As such, the project will feature gender equality, disability and social inclusion [GEDSI] analysis at the outset to inform all project activities.

CREFA is well aligned with the Irish government’s priorities of gender equality,climate action, and governance. It also directly contributes to the Royal Government of Cambodia’s plans such as: National Strategic Development Plan [NSDP] (2019 to 2023), Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan [CCCSP] (2014 to 2023), National Policy on Green Growth [NPGG] (2013 to 2030), and Cambodia’s Third National Communication to the UNFCC (2022).
CAN- Just & Transformational solutions Climate Action Network Uganda ( CAN-U) in this project will support the development of integrated policy options for just transition, loss and damage and NDCs through research and a series of dialogues which will also amplify the voice of marginalised and vulnerable communities. The policy dialogues, we include sector coupling to identify what best mix of policies can deliver the best result at the least cost.
The project proposes a set of solutions that will facilitate the most marginalized persons to be part of the solution to addressing climate change impacts and associated loss and damage. The solution is anchored on generating strong evidence on the ground through targeted studies in the affected areas where data is collected, analyzed, documented and shared in high level dialogues at national level and international fora. At the center of the policy dialogues, we will do sector coupling to identify what best mix of policies can deliver the best result at least cost. This will be part of the strategy in undertaking studies to support the policy dialogues
CHS certification Oxfam Certification is an approach to achieving verification against the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS). Certification offers organisations a forensic diagnostic of the degree to which they have applied the CHS.
The certification process provides organisations with an independent, external assessment, leading to issuing a certification of compliance against the CHS. It is essentially a test, resulting in certification either being granted, or denied. Currently, the Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative (HQAI) is the only organisation permitted to undertake independent verification and CHS certification audits.
