Empowering children and youth together in Belgium Schools and organizations working with, for and by youth create a high-quality and inclusive learning environment which corresponds to the interests, context and identity of all children and youth they work with, so that they can develop themselves as active global citizens. ‘To tackle global challenges, you need new ways of looking at the world, new ways of thinking and acting as global citizens (UNESCO)’. Education is capable of making this happen because of its transformative power. Education is the core business of Djapo and KIYO. Djapo is an expert in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), thinking based education and didactic capacity strengthening, while KIYO specializes in Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and children’s rights education. ESD and GCED are crucial components of quality education and are essential to realize the Sustainable Development Goals.  

Our shared aim is that ‘all children and youth are able, as active global citizens, to make conscious choices in order to contribute to a sustainable society in which they can realize their rights and their full potential, and have their voices heard’. We want that all schools and organizations working with, for and by youth create a high-quality and inclusive learning environment. Such an environment corresponds to the interests, context and identity of all children and youth, so that all children and youth can develop themselves as active global citizens.  

Djapo and KIYO work with teachers, future teachers and teachers of teachers from all grades. We motivate, train and support them to adapt their teaching practices to create a learning environment in which children and youth experiment and learn around societal challenges that matter to them. We collaborate with researchers to reflect on our practices and innovate to increase impact; with education policy makers to ensure preconditions for schools to create this learning environment are met; and with other public and private actors that want to reach schools. Lastly, we work with organizations that work with, for and by youth, to create environments in which youth become aware of their rights and potential, feel safe, can express themselves and develop new skills to be stronger in life. Approximate reach of annually +45,000 children and youth through intermediairies in formal education, teacher training, education policy and the school environment. This includes an annual coverage of: 4000 teachers (600m/3400f) in 320 schools, 1000 student-teachers (300m/700f) and 30 teacher trainers (16m/24f), the 3 largest educational umbrella organizations, education policy makers, 18 municipalities, 8 public/private organizations and 6 mentors of youth organizations (3m/3f).

Empowering children and youth together in the Philippines Actors working with children and youth, boys and girls, in (in/non-)formal education and private sector create a gender-sensitive quality learning environment based on GCE/ESD principles for Filipino children and youth to realise their rights, become active global citizens and contribute to a sustainable and just society. KIYO and Djapo will empower children and youth in the Philippines to become active global citizens and to provide them with the skills to build a future society embracing sustainability and human rights. Effective youth empowerment requires the shaping of gender-sensitive quality learning environments based on GCE/ESD principles and the children’s rights-based approach where all learners can participate, feel safe, become aware and develop skills through interactions with adults and peers.

We fully believe in the potential of children and youth as active agents in realising their rights. In the Philippines we will work with youth in vulnerable situations, secondary school students, and youth from youth-led organisations since too many do not have the opportunity to develop their full potential and to protect themselves.

We directly work with the local partners CYC, Bidlisiw and PETA who have a direct relation with children and youth through their work with schools, TVET providers, private sector, youth-led organisations. We believe that more impact can be generated at the level of the children and youth if we work in a structural manner with those educating, training and accompanying them. 

Our partnership strategy focuses on quality learning processes by strengthening skills, knowledge and networks with and between specialised local partners. By investing in the development of the capacities of partners and their reach, we contribute to a stronger civil society in our areas of intervention. These partners are considered as experts on youth empowerment with long-term expertise in their contexts. KIYO and Djapo consider themselves as experts and facilitators in this learning process who capitalise, accumulate and pass on good practices and expertise among themselves, the partners and important others. The partners will enable us to globalise our own local expertise and that of our partners through the scaling up of successful pilot projects. Bidlisiw is specialised in the economic empowerment of youth in vulnerable situations and works with 15 internal, 12 external TVET providers and 45 private companies;
CYC works on (indigenous) youth leadership and reinforces 14 youth-led org and 350 youth leaders (175m/f);
PETA uses inclusive theatre arts within and outside of the formal school setting. They work with 10 public secondary schools, 35 teachers (17m/18f), 3 youth theatre organisations and 15 young artist leaders (7m/8f).

Understanding and Responding to Gender Based Violence Incidences of gender-based violence (GBV) affecting children and adults have been increasingly reported in the target Putting Children First (PCF) programme areas. The specific types of GBV experienced include physical, sexual and emotional violence. Some of the key drivers for the abuse, particularly with regards to violence against women and girls, need in the target areas for awareness raising around GBV including how to appropriately and timely address abuse in the include harmful traditional and religious practices including early marriages. Stigma prevails in the communities and often victims of GBV and their families do not speak out. The practice remains to view abuse as a private issues and to consider certain forms of abuse as socially acceptable. Community interventions around GBV are widely absent, hence a strong communities and report cases has been identified.  The proposed intervention is a first step towards preventing GBV by addressing deeply entrenched norms that foster greater gender equality. In order to support communities in tackling GBV, community members and project staff need to build skills to offer psychosocial and emotional assistance to victims of abuse and refer cases to well established networks and institutions. The funding will enable project partners to conduct a context analysis in the different areas of operation to identify key issues, services available and gaps. Particular attention will be paid towards the different forms of abuse girls and boys and women and men are experiencing and how to respond adequately and sensitively to their gender needs. The project will furthermore respond to the strong need to set up community-based structures that can support handling and reporting of GBV cases. Target project beneficiaries and stakeholders include PCF communities, children in schools both at primary and secondary level, men and community gate-keepers including elderly men and women.

National Civic Engagement Program for Peace, Good Governance and Accountability in Zimbabwe The National Civic Engagement Program for Peace, Good Governance and Accountability in Zimbabwe is a three year project focused on mobilising individual and collective action in addressing issues of public concern in 4 thematic areas:
Theme 1: Advocacy and Liaison for a victim centred national peace and reconciliation process 
Theme 2: Primary Justice, Inclusive Participation and Cohesion 
Theme 3: Resource Governance, Economic Justice and Stewardship of Creation
Theme 4: Policy Engagement and Development
Project goal: Increased influence of Zimbabwean citizens, acting collectively through formal and informal spaces for peace and good governance.
This goal is supported by 4 mutually reinforcing objectives as follows:
1. National peace and reconciliation processes that effectively address the negative effects from past and present violence. 
2. Zimbabwe leaders, both moral and elected, tolerate diversity and promote cohesion for the common good by December 2024
3. Locally available resources conserved and transform the livelihoods of locals by December 2024
4. By 2024, policy/decision makers and the general public, including the youth, are challenged to apply their minds creatively and practically to solve immediate challenges facing Zimbabwe
The project is informed by the realisation that democratic space is fast closing and this calls for church to use its influence and structures to engage citizens to have meaningful conversation on issues such as participation in  democratic forums, good governance, development as part of efforts to promote justice and peace. The project therefore seeks to create platforms of dialogue and discussions between community and the local governance institutions, leadership and other service providers. The communities would be capacitated to demand transparency, accountability, responsiveness and service delivery.
Putting Children First- Jesuit AIDS Project There are about  1.6million orphans and vulnerable children (including more than 100,000 child headed households)  in Zimbabwe. 34% of the child population  is under the age of 15.  However, 79% of these children are not receiving any support,in terms of their health , education and food and shelter and even psychosocial support and sometimes when they are included in programmes, their needs and interests are not taken into account. For example nutritional support without access to ARVs leaves the extra nutrition ineffective and likewise , access to education without the needed psychosocial support may invalidate educational benefits for a child. Coordination of care, including an accurate and individual needs assessment to determine the proper package is critical not only to ensure effectiveness, but also to ensure efficiency.
As part of a consortium addressing the needs of children, Jesuit AIDS Project in Putting Children First programme will:
•Train and build the confidence of at least 2, 220 children, to express their needs and interests and enhance their participation in decision making  for policies and practices that affect their lives
-Improve access to appropriate health care services for at least 3, 250 children (including psycho-social support)
•Enhance the capacity of Teachers and School Development Committee members on government policies and issues of child protection
-Support at least 20 child-led awareness raising theatre groups around issues of stigma/ cultural and religious practices
Resilient communities, protected landscapes Gokwe North is in semi-arid areas known for low rainfall, usually poorly distributed; climate change has exacerbated the effects of already erratic rain patterns. In 2017, within the MF4 programme, a solar piped water scheme was installed in Gokwe North district, extracting water from a spring on a wetland, providing water to 10 villages in 2 wards. The piped water scheme helped reducing time spent fetching water by women and girls, freeing time to engage in productive socio-economic activities. However, there have been persistent challenges of expansion of agricultural activities and uncontrolled deforestation, livestock grazing and extraction of water through digging wells within and around the wetland. All these challenges are exacerbating the already dire socio-economic, political and governance situation in the community, contributing to environmental degradation. There is anticipated increase in conflicts among the community members due to limited availability of water, and further disempowering women and girls, who are the most marginalised and most exposed to the negative consequences of climate change.  
CAFOD is working jointly with Caritas Gokwe to protect and rehabilitate the wetland through the Holistic Management of Resources approach (funded through the Africa Fund); focussing on wetland regeneration through controlled grazing and water use; the IEPM funds would sustain and expand programme integration, supporting the responses to agricultural-related challenges threatening the wetland. The proposed intervention tackles the problematic linkage between the needs of communities – particularly around livelihoods – with the commitment towards environmental preservation, using locally led, environmentally adequate solutions. Its focus on the mitigation of the effects of climate change and environmental crisis, at the same time responding the most urgent needs of marginalized communities aligns with the characteristics of the Integral Ecology.
