Innovative ICT Rural Communities SINF In February 2012, the Dutch National Postcode Lottery (National Postcode loterij) approved the large and innovative Dreamfund project 'Internet Now!' to be implemented in Northern Uganda. Oxfam Novib will implement the project together with 3 other project partners: Arid lands information Network (ALIN), Inveneo and Samasource.


The project is to bring services providing work and income to rural communities in Northern Uganda through reliable, affordable and sustainable high-speed connection to the Internet (providing information access through ICT). One hundred centers will be established to cover 9 districts in Northern Uganda (Gulu, Amuru, Adjumani, Moyo, Kitgum, Pader, Lamwo Nwoya and Agago). These will form a social enterprise following an innovative business model. Each center will offer solar powered workstations housed in shipping containers together with daily support and training by company staff and volunteers. The centers will be interconnected to the internet through Wi-Fi technology.

The social enterprise to be created by the project will be set up as an independent legal entity established locally in Uganda of which the initial shares will be held by the independent Dutch not for profit Stichting internet Now! SINFA which is to be established in the second quarter of 2012. One of the goals of the project is to make the company self-sustaining so its activities and contribution to the local community can continue after the initial 3 year funding for the project. . SINFA will provide income generating services in the centres, such as employment through micro work, a specialised form of business process outsourcing.  The centres also will give access to an agricultural commodity platform, and other services, all driven by specially designed information technology.

The innovative approach of the internet Now! project requires an intense level of collaboration between all parties which is expressed in the project management structure with a project management team with members of all the project partners working together in Gulu, Uganda on a daily basis. Next tothat a coordination committee with members of all project partners will be established for the project all as further set out in the project initiation document.
CO-Youth Active Citizenship in Vietnam Young people in Vietnam (age 15 # 30) accounts for approx. 30% of total population. 75% of them living in rural areas. Adults, especially policy makers, tend to see young people as #lack of knowledge#, #limited experience#, #without broad pictures# therefore may underestimate contribution of youth. According to Oxfam in Vietnam#s recent study on the needs of youth, and recent research, young people demonstrated great demand to be engaged with, participate in, and contribute to socio-economic development progress of the country. They express strong desire to play their role as future decision makers and as agents for change.
The project aims to promoting youth as an active player and have strong voice in addressing inequality issues in Vietnam, through three key interventions: (1) Capacity development (core values, critical thinking, leadership, community development, and project management), (2) Enlarging space for youth (for open discussions and debating via social forums, policy dialogue, and platforms for youth-led innovations), (3) Changing social perceptions about youth as "lack of experience", "lack of capacity" to "active citizens".
The project works with both youth groups and youth organizations to facilitate meaningful youth participation in development projects and programs toward sustainable development in Vietnam.

CO-Promotion and Practice Handwashing Ki Oxfam#s Promotion and Practice Handwashing Kit is a robust, user-friendly handwashing station that is easily set-up in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, allowing for improved, timely handwashing at critical moments and reducing people#s health risksin emergency displacement camps.

The kit will facilitate better access to handwashing facilities for women, men, and children living in displacement camps - including disabled persons and the elderly. The station - easy to use and install - will increase handwashing ratesand therefore lower incidence of disease, providing people with health and dignity and satisfying the basic need of effective, readily available water and sanitation facilities in times of crisis. Easier maintenance and management helps conserve scarce water resources and durability makes the station suitable for long-term sustainable use.

The kit will also save cost and time as humanitarianactors and their logisticians currently spend considerable time sourcing and installing components for other handwashing solutions.The time and cost savings on limited resources will ultimately allow humanitarian actors to reach more people in each humanitarian response. As the kit will be replicable by local manufacturers, it will also benefit the local economy.
