Enhancing Resilience in Somalia Oxfam Novib is part of seven International NGOs with deep experience in Somalia that have joined as a long term consortium to buildand filed test a resilience model based on the latest global resilience thinking, innovative livelihood approaches for theSomalia contest, and bridging the relief to development continuum. The Seven INGOs are ACF, ADRA, CARE, COOPI, DRC, Oxfam and World Vision.

To build resilience the project will take on a multi-year commitment to the same vulnerable households and communities with a package of integrated interventions to address multiple shocks that compound or are a result of the impacts of droughts. The program is part of a continuum for resilience building approaches at household, community, regional and state/national level. The program will focus on household and community resilience, while advocating for and supporting resilience at the other levels.

The resilience approach that the Consortium will take will focus on securing what people have against predictable shocks, while building local adaptive capacity to deal with uncertainty and change.

The consortium approach enables SomReP member agencies to leverage one another#s strengths, establish stronger coordination with one another and other stakeholders, and share and build upon learning and best practices. SomReP is designed around complementary interventions being undertaken by member agencies and others in operational areas, which further reinforce resilience in sectors such as health <(>&<)> nutrition and WASH. Complementary interventions also include safety nets and basic life-saving services

Active Citizenship Cambodia 2014-2015 OSB has a long history of supporting (formal) labour programmes in the South East Asia region. In this new programme there is a move from pure labour issues to broader rights like decent work and access to social services under the umbrella of #social protection#. There is a greater regional focus as many issues are cross-border and there is much to win with sharing experiences and solidarityat the regional level. OSB is putting more focus on informal labour, in particular vulnerable groups like street vendors, tuk-tuk divers, Commercial Sex Workers, home based workers, etc. In most groups women are in the bottom layer, hence a greater focus on womenworkers. The specific countries covered are Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. The overall time frame is 2014-2016. Oxfam Novib is contributing to the programme in Cambodia for the first two years.

The overall objective: #Thanks to cooperation and synergy with similar organisations in their country and in the region, organisations of marginalized workers - especially women and migrants - in Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, can more effectively defend their demands for the democratic delivery of better social protection by their governments and contribute to the enhancement of a more social agenda of ASEAN#.

Annual Plan 2014 The overall goal of this project is to increase public awareness in the Netherlands about the diverse but many times less publicly visible manner in which the Israeli military occupation affects both Israelis and Palestinians and thereby develop critical consciousness amongst the Dutch public with regard to the conflict. At the same time, lobby activities seek to inform Dutch MPs about concrete cases of shrinking space for Human Rights Defenders (HRD) and human rights violations in OPTI. Gate 48 believes that with increased knowledge a tipping point will be achieved in the coming future whereby public opinion will force political establishment in the NL to take a more nuanced stand on the conflict than what is the case now.

The project continues in the same line as the previous project, including particular attention to Children and Women, the latter being a new topic highlighting the role of women in the conflict, conflict resolution processes and activism. It is also important to note that 2014 will also focus on strengthening Gate48 asan organisation.

Supporting Freedom of Movement Gisha is the only Israeli civil society organisation with a sole focus on Gaza. Gisha#s goal is to protect freedom of movement and other rights for which freedom of movement is a precondition in the occupied Palestinian territory, particularly in Gaza. Gisha seeks lasting changes in Israel#s policies regarding freedom of movement. Since 2005, restrictions on freedom of movement for Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip have steadily intensified, blocking access to educational and economic opportunities, preventing the passage of goods and humanitarian aid, and hampering efforts of civil society organizations struggling to provide services to a population in tremendous need. The 3 key components of Gishas work are: legal advocacy which assists hundreds of Palestinian individuals to access educational, professional and economic opportunities and to reunite with family. Gisha intervenes on the behalf of Palestinians from Gaza (and others parts of OPT) helping them to gain necessary permits from Israel to exit or enter Gaza.  The experience of providing individual legal assistance allows Gisha to document patterns of rights violations and to seek transparency regarding military policies by using the Freedom of Information law; domestic and international advocacy using influential opinion makers and leading personalities to highlight the impact of the blockade and create support amongst Israeli public and international community for change in policies and practices that sustain human rights and humanitarianlaw violations; and research and information dissemination with factual information, statistics and analysis on access restrictions and their impact on lives of ordinary Palestinians in Gaza.  Gisha pays particular attention to promoting access for Palestinian women from Gaza who face complex social and political situation and have special access needs, particularly in connection with professional development, commercial activity and status within the family. In a very small market, like the one in Gaza,women have less job opportunities than men. Gisha will offer women assistance, particularly focusing on access needs between Gaza and the West Bank, to pursue opportunities for professional development, commercial activity, academic studies and family unification.
Improving Human Security in Communities HIRDA is an acronym of Himilo Relief and development Association, a non-profit and non-political organization founded in 1998 in Den Haag by Somali refugees in the Netherlands. The purpose of the organization was to take part in the reconstruction and humanitarian effort in Somalia, promote basic education, gender mainstreaming, encourage the integration and engagement in development among the Somali community in the Netherlands.

HIRDA started its education support programme in 1999 after the collapseof education system in Bardera city following the collapse of the Said Barre government in 1991.

It is now engaged ineducation, health, relief, support orphans,  peace and human rights, women empowerment, water improvement and other projects in south and central Somalia and Somaliland. (see more strategic plan)

The proposed project uses a holistic approach to tacklethe key factors driving insecurity for poor and vulnerable pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities in 6 districts of Somali region, Ethiopia, and 10 locations in the Galbeed and Togdheer areas of the Somaliland region of Somalia. Oxfam is working inthese fragile areas, recognizing the imperative of supporting reconstruction and decrease destabilizing factors due to the volatile political dynamics inherent in the region and the frequent crisis of drought.

This project is laying the foundations for building resilient communities and improving the humansecurityof pastoralists along the Ethiopia-Somaliland border by using a holistic approach to tackle the integrated causes of conflict.   This project is a multi affiliate/ multipartner project, HIRDA will be responsible and implement activities that contribute to Increased capacity of Civil society including groups of women, youth and men  to participate in (community and district levels) and influence (national level) forums and processesThe activitiesproposed in this project will Include:

Tampa Dipa The program seeks to address and contribute to solutions to the following specific problems:
- Weak capacity for local governance in regions and little dialogue between legislative, executive, judiciary, political parties and civil society. Centralised system of governance and low level of devolution to the states, regions and self-administered zones.
- Low level of autonomy and capacities inself-administered zones, due to continued dependence under respective State Administrations.
- Slow spread of democratisation process to local administrations, and persistence of attitudes and behaviours shaped by the long era of dictatorship, often leading to top-down and autocratic leadership, lack of practise of sharing of information, and unfamiliarity with dialogue and constructive conflict resolution.
- Frail civil society with little experience of democratic principles or dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution with state actors, including local administrations.
- Low levels of inclusion of women and youth in governance and low prioritisationof female participation in the domestic agenda.

Project Outcomes:

1. By the end of the program June 2014, 5 basic capacity building workshops on local governance, challenges of decentralisation and federalism, dialogue and democratic culture, and peace buildingwill have enhanced the capacity and awareness level of 350 participants  from the Region and Self-Administered Zone levels, CSOs.

2: By June 2014, because there is openness and space for feedback, the program will have secured the interest and active participation that will have led to an Iimproved dialogue and cooperation between key local government, parliamentarians and civil society.

3: By the end of June 2014, 2 interregional meetings attended by 30 selected participants from the program including study tours, internships, web-based forum, and joint advocacy campaigns will have cultivated a wider network between selected regions.
