Cash and Livelihoods Support_CHIAs The Community Health and Inclusion Association (CHIAs) has worked as an officially recognised community-based organisation since 2005 and was officially registered in 2012. CHIAs is the focal point of a national network of support for people living with HIV/AIDS in Laos. CHIAs works to ensure their concerns and interests are articulated and represented at provincial, national, and regional levels. CHIAs will play a key role in the delivery of all project interventions with their provincial and district partners in Xayaburi, where they have been working for several years. They are co-facilitators for an EU-funded programme on COVID-19 response, and recently completed a study on the impact of the pandemic on marginalized groups such as LGBTI. They are currently partnering with Oxfamon a COVID-19 vaccine roll-out in southern Laos funded by AHP/DFAT. Their extensive knowledge and experience on healthcare will be essential for all partners to prepare and deliver appropriate COVID-19 health kits.

The two associations have decided to collaborate on developing common objectives, in particular those that support a world based on relationships of solidarity and greater justice. The two associations agree that respect for Human Rights, including the Rights of Women and Children, forms part of their commitment, as well as respect for Social and Economic Rights for everyone. The Action that is subject to the present agreement is a contribution towards these objectives but it cannot be considered as the sole link that unites the three associations.

The partner  CHIAsand Oxfam-in-Laos undertake to build a relationship that reinforces each party’s work and skills, while developing each organisation’s respective strategies.

By way of an example, CHIAs  is interested in taking part in activities that heighten awareness among the Laos public, by sending personnel and/or equipment in relation to the issue concerned by the Action. CHIAs  would also like to take part in the discussions held by the Oxfam-in-Laos onstrategic reflections connected with the action.

Oxfam undertakes to share information that may be useful for the missions of CHIAs  and to assist CHIAs  using methodological tools and supports.

TZ TYVA_VIJANA MAKINI Vijana Makini Project (Vijana Makini is a Swahili word which translates to Conscious Youth) is a youth-led advocacy intervention that aims to improve youth voices and priorities in national policies and laws including national planning and budget processes. Specifically, the project aims to capacitate young people (aged - 15 - 35, including youth with disabilities, young women, ethnic minorities, and other social groups) with knowledge and skills to participate in national and local level spaces for policy formulation including national and local government planning and budgeting processes. The main objective of the Vijana Makini Project is to contribute to making national and local government budgets responsive to youth needs and priorities.

“The theory of change behind Vijana Makini is that young people are agents of change in ensuring youth responsive national plans and budgets in terms of the process, content, and government expenditure towards addressing youth priority and development interests. Once the capacity of young people in the areas of civic education, advocacy, and leadership skills are enhanced and are involved in research for evidence-based advocacy, conducting of budget analysis, and consultation with decision-makers during the national budgeting processes, the youth are capable to hold the government accountable so that their development needs including youth employment and economic opportunity, access to youth-friendly health services, access to quality education, and inclusion in decision-making processes are actualized through by holding the decision-makers account for the youth responsive national budget. Duty bearers should comply with government policies and laws for youth participation in decision making including national and local government planning and budgeting processes. Capacitatingduty bearers by ensuring they are aware of their roles and accountability to youth participation in decision making spaces and processes will improve their execution and compliance to the policies and laws on youth participation"
Leadership Challenge Active citizenship Through this project, Leadership Challenges plans to initiate a process of community mobilisation at the grassroots level, aimed atempowering the various actors (women, youth, men, community structures, local elected officials) to challenge the obstacles linked to the enjoyment of citizens' rights in a manner that respects diversity, thereby promoting social inclusion and social, economic and political empowerment.
Indeed, even if the lack of knowledge of the laws in favour of women, social constraints(habits, customs, mores, prejudices, stereotypes) and the lack of financial resources for women negatively influence their political leadership, the fact remains that women's inferiority complex and the loss of schooling for girls are some of the main causes of their representation in decision-making bodies, which requires a certain level of education. Hence the need for this project to think about strategies for creating leadership at the grassroots level by putting girls around structures known as "Nursery Girls Leaders" for the preparation of the next generation on the one hand, and those for strengthening the leadership of women and youth for better participation in community activities on the other.
HO-Land@Scale #Scalling-Up# is a development initiative aimed at contributing to the resilience of rural populations in the face of food insecurity and the effects of climate change. Therefore, the first step will be to promote access to land by young people and womenvulnerable to food insecurity. This will stimulate the need to secure land for the benefit of the target people.
Empower @ scale in Uganda. The goal of this project is to scale up the empowerment of marginalized rural women and men through the use of Household Methodologies (HHM). Currently over 133 thousand women and men are reached directly as part of projects by Oxfam, and indirectly by influencing government programmes together with IFAD. Other organizations, such as Hivos, Twin and FLA, have also started using HHM. By building knowledge, skills and expertise at local to global levels this project aims to scale up household methodologiesto empower millions of women, men and rural youth. The project is part of the WEMAN programme.

The expected outcomes are:
1. A network of local/national learning centres provide opportunities for exposure to the methodology and its benefits and gaining the basic and advanced skills to start the process in the countries.
2. Online platform for networking, knowledge sharing and monitoring the use of HHMs set up and effectively used
3. Specific approaches are developed on thematic areas and/or particular target groups: rural finance, nutrition, VCD, extension, and with specific target groups incl. youth.
CLICK-Improve access to agricultural biz Promoting agribusiness for families of farmers with disabilities to generate sustainable income for families and people with physical disabilities in the agricultural profession.

Many persons with disabilities have limited career opportunities - creating jobs where they do not have a core and stable job. In addition, the families of the physically challenged have to concentrate on the energy, time, and expenses of their daily family life. And also see that they still lack the capital to own a stable and have a sustainable income in life.

Farming is considered as a way to help them and their families financially secure without having to travel long distances to work in other areas, they can do business in their own area and their family can help them in their career.

This program will be successful because we have taken into account the potential and needs of the beneficiaries and believe that doing businessin agriculture will help them succeed and create a career for them. And this plan will becarefully monitored and consulted by an experienced program team.

Helping people with disabilities and their families build sustainable careers through capacity building, business planning, income-expenditure, and business start-ups for people with disabilities and their families can help them earn a better living and a better income.
Inclusive Agriculture Value Chains Association of Farmers and Nature Net (FNN) is a local, non-profit and non-political farmer organization, represents a network of village-based farmer organizations that acts as an umbrella to represent and serve the interests of self-help associations, agricultural cooperatives, and provides technical assistances on capacity building. FNN has joint the FAIR4ALL project is mainly oriented towards the sustainable of rubber and banana value chains and trade for small scale farmers through improving of sustainable inclusive and women-centred business practice at scale; more responsible private and financial sector; and enabling environment for agriculture investment. The project will be located in three provinces such as Kampong Cham, Thbong Khmum and Kampot provinces of Cambodia.
The project is mainly oriented towards the sustainable of rubber and banana value chains and trade for small scale farmers through improving of sustainable inclusive and women-centred business practice at scale; more responsible private and financial sector; and enabling environment for agriculture investment. large-scale banana plantations. Importing banana seedlings and planting material from neighbouring countries raises a high risk of introducing invasive species, especially the Foc TR4, which may cause the collapse of the industry. The Foc TR4 causes disease without predisposing factors. If unchecked, Fusarium caused by Foc TR4 can wipe out an entire plantation.
The proposed project areas are located in 3 provinces including Kampong Cham, Tbong Khum and Kampot provinces. In those target areas farmers are facing constraints related to lack of capacity to address technical aspects to meet required quality and safety standard by the potential buyers, the inputs cost is still high, lack of entrepreneurship skill, limited of market facilitation and networking for small scale farmers. This issue results in low productivity and profitability.

Fair social&economic postCOVID policies Al Bawsala, a Tunisian NGO, is independent from political influence, and has three objectives: to reposition citizens at the core of political action by offering them the means to stay updated with their elected representatives and by providing them waysto defendtheir fundamental rights; to build relationships with elected representatives and decision-makers in order to work towards the establishment of good governance practices and political ethics; to participate in defending the concepts of social progress and citizenempowerment. The government watchdog and reform-minded NGO will monitor and follow-up on the policies proposed in response to COVID-19 and will actively campaign online and offline for fair recovery policies, notably focusing on the public health system, fiscal policies and social spending in general.
The objective of this initiative is to influence the socio-economic policies enacted by governments in Tunisia, to respond to and recover from the COVID-19 and related crises in a way that they are fairer, reduce inequalities,and better address the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those of women and men in the informal economy. The project will analyze and monitor the decisions that have been (and are being) taken by the government in light of COVID-19 and related crises, and provide alternatives for discussion that are human-centered and that prioritize the well-being of those who are in the most need: those operating in the informal economy and/or that have been especially impacted by the accumulated crises in Tunisia.
Al Bawsala via their local observers network  will  help  identify  grassroots groups  and organizations in disadvantaged regions to actively engage and include in national advocacy efforts.
Al Bawsala will also Develop two reports: One on the health care sector will focus on inequality and the impact on specific categories especially in marginalized zones and the second study will focus  on  fiscal  policies  and  justice  in  relation  to COVID-19  recovery  and  on  the impact of vulnerable populations. Al Bawsala will also organize round table discussions with CSOs and decision makers, in addition to public outreach material production that will be disseminated through social media platforms.
CO-YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AND EMPOWERMENT Youth unemployment in Uganda poses a serious political, economic, and social challenge to the country and its leadership. The cycleis making it increasingly difficult for Uganda to break out of poverty. Young women also more often have to stay at home in a maternal role from a very young age which limits their ability to engage in gainful employment.  As a result of unemployment and limited livelihood options, significant number of girls and young women are exposed to risky sexual behaviours which expose them to early marriages, teenage pregnancy, exploitative commercial sex, HIV infections and school dropout. One in four teenage girls in Uganda age 15-19 have either had a child or been pregnant. Youth can be an asset that, if invested in, can bring tremendous social and economicbenefits. For Uganda to benefit from this young and energetic population, strategies should be put in place to ensure that the youth are fully in charge of their lives and are at the fore front of economic development. This project therefore intends to address the above mentioned challenges. The goal overall goal of the project is to improve youth livelihoods and participation in governance and development processes in Uganda. The specific objectives are in three fold:
1. To increase employability and income of youth through agribusiness, entrepreneurship, vocational skilling and business development.
2. To increase participation of youth in decision making processes.
3. To reduce youth vulnerability to sexual exploitation and Gender Based Violence.
Oxfam will lead on the activityof youth Placements for internships in different partner organizations. Besides that,
Oxfam as the lead consortium member will coordinate the partners in all project requirements especially reviews, audits, monitoring and reporting among others
CO-Wash & EFSVL Assistance in Sool Vulnerable civilians who have been struggling with the compounded impacts of drought and inflation got caught in crossfire. According to initial reports, close to 100,000 people got displaced as a result of the conflict in Lasanod. As per our rapid assessment, over 30 villages across Sool region started hosting the displaced with some villages having outnumbering IDP households. The IDPs livein makeshift shelters in areas where basic services were already scarce. Access to food and safe water are the priority according to the reports and our rapid assessment team also noticed these needs.

We are proposing to target 7 locations (Taleex, Kalabaydh, Saaxdheer, Boocame, Yagoori, Guumays and Ceegaag) in Sool region. Based on our assessment collectively these locations are hosting 3,580 displaced households (approx. 21,480 people).

Garowe is capital of Puntland and hosting large, displaced population. Being administrative capital, there are many international and national NGOs and UN agencies are present and established in Garowe. In addition, Puntland administration, private sector and host communities can also extend humanitarian assistance.  Diaspora community is also reported to extending assistance in Garowe and other areas. While we decided to focus on the proposed seven locations as they are difficult for Puntland or Somaliland administration to provide assistance – and presence of eighter of these administrations have alsopotential to further increase tension. It has been observed that displaced population who have reached to Garowe have more capacities e.g., host families, travel related expenses, affordability to rent a shelter in Garowe etc. compared to displaced families who were not able to travel that far and have taken refuge in propose seven locations by us. Thus, possibly it is comparatively easy to respond to Garowe and more aid options may be available to affected populations.
