Enhancing cobalamin (vitamin B12) bioavailability in culturally appropriate foods in India B12 deficiency and insufficiency is thought to represent a hidden worldwide epidemic of nutrient malnutrition in both developed and developing countries. However, there is no doubt that in India the problem is on a vast scale, with estimates of around 1 billion people having low levels of the nutrient. This is a consequence not only of general malnutrition but also due to cultural practices associated with vegetarianism, since crops have very low levels of B12. In this application we aim to initiate a programme of work to address this nutrient-deficiency challenge, by combining expertise in the UK with that found in India. Specifically, we want to investigate if a newly constructed recombinant strain of E. coli can be used to provide large quantities of purified B12. To achieve this we will combine the metabolic engineering work at the University of Kent with the process engineering capability found at the ICT in Mumbai. The development of a suitable extraction procedure will allow us to interact with chemical companies such as Cipla, who have expressed an interest in taking this forward if a suitable high-yielding method is developed. This holds the potential for India to be able to produce all its own B12 rather than having to rely on expensive imports. In so doing, this will also address serious concerns about global nutrient supply, since currently around 90% of B12 is produced in China. We also plan to explore the use of alternative culturally acceptable enriched sources of B12 in the form of algae and higher plants. Many algae are known to be able to absorb the nutrient but only limited studies have been undertaken in order to assess whether the B12 found in algae is bioavailable to humans. Similarly, we have recently found that some higher plants, such as spring cress, are also able to absorb B12 when the plants are grown with the nutrient. However, as with algae, it is not known whether the nutrient is bioavailable. Therefore, apart from investigating ways to enhance B12 uptake into algae and higher plants, we will undertake volunteer trials to determine whether food prepared from these sources is able to alleviate B12 deficiency in the volunteers. This work will combine expertise in the UK in providing the growth conditions, the food technologists in Mumbai and the clinical expertise in Pune to address this problem. This represents an exciting series of experiments that holds the potential to provide transformative solutions to B12 deficiency in both developing developed countries.

Expanding civic space through strengthening youth and feminist voices Asia regional influencing strategy signed off in 2022 identified gender justice and climate justice as two major influencing themes to pursue with cross cutting engagement to expand civic space. Given the diversity and uniqueness in the region which is also economically growing but with huge cost of gender and economic inequality. Government and other actors rather addressing the challenges of poverty and inequality are engaged in silencing the dissent, putting new regulations and laws to reduce civic space, peaceful assembly, and freedom of press.   Oxfam in Asia platform has existing initiatives to strengthen feminist movements and youth activism. The initiatives include facilitating feminist coalition, Oxfam youth leaders fellowship programme and digital activists/Asia lab toolkit. Building on these experience and existing initiatives we would like to expand and continue these pieces of work.

I-WIL: Indonesian Women in Leadership for Gender Equality and Empowerment The goal of the project is that by 2023, more women and girls in Eastern Indonesia will be economically independent, participate in decision -making that affects their lives, hold positions of leadership, and live a life free from gender based violence.  Outcome 1: More women and girls are empowered to have greater access to and control over economic resources and opportunities. Unpaid care work at the household and community level will be addressed to ensure a fairer distribution between women and men. Women will be supported to be represented in leadership roles at the community and village level. Women's rights organisations and women's networks will influence the development and implementation of policies, practices and frameworks that promote women's economic empowerment at the national government and regional level, through institutions such as Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).  Outcome 2: More women and girls are economically empowered through an inclusive business model ecosystem. The capacity of existing inclusive business structures such as bumdes (village enterprise units) and KUBE (government business entrepreneurship program) will be strengthened to promote linkages and networks and increase women's collective action and power in markets. Inclusive businesses will be provided with business training, technical support, mentoring and capability to access to credit by women entrepreneurs through partners such as the Angel Investment Network Indonesia (ANGIN).   Outcome 3: Women, men and community networks are taking action to transform harmful gender and social norms that lead to the marginalisation of women, and violence against women and girls. Women and girls who have been affected by gender based violence will be supported to safely access justice and appropriate support and referral services such as social workers and paralegals. Women's rights organisations and women's networks will be supported to have a strong voice in influencing gov
