Sustainable Community Forest Management and Forest Certification in Kilwa District Serious shortfalls in forest governance have hindered development of a significant sector of Tanzania's economy. It is widely recognised that Participatory Forest Management is the ultimate solution that is required because with broad PFM coverage illegal 
loggers would  join the regulated market and bring gains to the sector. Before Mpingo Conservation + Development Initiative (MCDI) began working in Kilwa communities earned just a token for each log felled in their village compared to government gains. In 
the first PFM harvest MCDI succeeded in raising this to more than 400 times higher than previous. Armed with its FSC certificat that guarantees legality. MCDI now expects to raise the price of certified blackwood felled in community managed forests by seve
ral further orders of magnitude. Villages with substantial tracts of forest that have not  already been logged out stand to make over $ 100 000 each per year from sales of certified timber more than doubling total village income. And the forests from which
 the valuable timber comes will be protected for the long term benefit of all mankind.Main objectives of the activities are: to sustain MCDI's support to participating communities such that scheme does not collapse, to facilitate all timber sales and thus 
revenue earnings, furthermore to sustain MCDI's capacity so that it is able to move forward later with renewed funding that is anticipated from Comic Relief in 2013Funds are requested for: Fourth annual audit of MCDI's FSC group certificate, support to any
 commercial timber harvests proposed in community forests, revisison of Kisangi village forest management plan, support to villages' forest revenue management process including audit of forest revenues spent , MCDI Annual Stakeholders forum and monitoring 
of programmes covering biodiversity forest integrity and community perceptions of change sustained as well as support to local microfinance groups sustained.The outcomes expected from this project include: Increased village revenue FSC certificate sustaine
d, village governance standards continue to improve and MCDI capacity maintained.

Promoting domestic work as a decent occupation for women "Domestic workers are one of the most vulnerable groups in Peruvian society and the labour markets. Being mostly women and migrants from the rural areas of the country domestic workers are treated as second class citizens with less rights than others. Dome
stic work is one of the largest sectors of the informal economy. Although there is a law since 2003 regulating domestic work it is often neglected and the rights of persons working in domestic service are systematically ignored. The salaries are below mini
mum wage often only accommodation and food are seen as sufficient compensation fo ""helping"" in the household. Domestic workers work up to 16hour days with no 24hour rests holidays and no right to social security. Working in private household they are oft
en subjected to violence and abuse by their employers.  The objective of this project is to contribute to the inclusion of domestic workers as workers and full citizens of the society. The immediate objective is that the domestic workers once empowered wou
ld be in a position to better negotiate their rights and fulfil their responsibilities. The main cross-cutting objectives concerning the Finnish development policy are 1) promotion of equal opportunities for a group that is marginalized and discriminated i
n the society and 2) gender equality: most of domestic workers are women. The project will be carried out by the Peruvian partner Asociacion Grupo de Trabajo Redes (AGTR). Activities are organized using already existing structures: La Casa de Panchita is a
 local meeting point in Lima coordinated by AGTR that offers a variety of services for domestic workers. In the same establishment is also situated the employment agency LA CASA DE PANCHITA S.A.C. that mediate job opportunities for persons in domestic serv
ices without commission fees. The beneficiaries of the project are around 1500 women over 18 years who work or are seeking for work in domestic services and wish to improve their working conditions and bargaining power. The beneficiaries are contacted thro
ugh La Casa de Panchita and the ones following a job training are elegible to seek for a job through the employment agency.The main activities of the project are: a. Job training b. Legal counseling for domestic workers experiencing problems at their workp
lacec. Empowerment through artd. Participatory theatre where domestic workers practice their bargaining power through theatre."
