Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) Poor women from deprived communities are not in a position to access loan from banks or other financial institutions or financial service providers due to lack of physical collateral. The poor, indigenous women and girls are exploited from various forms of
 discrimination. Therefore there is a comprehensive need to build the capacity of deprived poor women to increase their access to financial capital with low interest rate. The local government bodies have not fully owned and realised the importance of wome
n?s participation in planning process and providing justifiable share of resources to the women in their location. Strengthening cooperatives and their linkages with local bodies, including Ward Citizen Forum and Citizen Awareness Centre (CAC) are required
 to increase women?s access to resources and services. Most of the women still lack legal ownership of their land. Cooperatives still lack adequate knowledge and skills to develop strong linkages with market actors for enterprise development. Lack of vocat
ional skill training and micro entrepreneurship skills among women and out of school youth girls, denial of women to property rights, gender based discrimination and women?s right violation justify the need to implement this project in Lalitpur district of
 Nepal. The overall objective of the project is to improve women?s economic and socio-cultural status. The specific objective is to develop and strengthen women-led local institutions for promoting economic, social and cultural rights of poor and marginali
sed women communities in Lalitpur. Activities: ? Establish and strengthen two women cooperatives ? Establish a cooperative federation or a network of women cooperative ? Conduct cooperative education camps? Establish and strengthen District and Village Lan

Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) In 2015 the project support will help chart out ?hidden potential? in companies where the union does not yet have exact numbers of workers. A basic leaflet of the union will be produced, 20 organizers trained and with the help of these around 2 000 new mem
bers recruited. Internal communication and external visibility of the organization will be improved through an information bulletin, basic rights awareness campaign and media relations. Towards the end of the year there will be a meeting to review the pilo
t and also to plan a longer-term continuation project, if the first trial period gives possibilities for that. This project also includes an element of south-south-north exchange where alongside SINTIAB participate the Mozambican tourism sector union SINTI
HOTS (project 2022), the Ghanaian union organizing in food industry and hospitality / tourism ICU (project 2017) and the Finnish SEL and PAM.The basic structures of the food industry union are in order and it is a recognized negotiation partner in its sect
or, but its institutional capacity is not yet adequate for efficient interest representation, member services or advocacy work, especially with the rather rapid growth of the sector. Membership growth, knowhow development and improved visibility are at thi
s first stage the expected impacts with which the project support strengthens the defense of workers? rights in the changing business environment.As results of the pilot year improved organizing skills and membership growth by around 2 000 people are expec
ted, as well as increased rights awareness among workers and improved visibility of the union in various parts of the country.  The pilot also forms a basis for development of a long-term cooperation partnership, aiming at a result-oriented institutional s
trengthening and more active participation of members in the union action. Through the exchange program of three countries the union gains new types information from experiences of others and ideas for further development of its activities.Beneficiaries of
 the work will be Mozambican food industry workers.Food industry workers? union of Mozambique SINTIAB is the largest union of its country covering food and beverage sectors, and its members are workers of mills and other grain processing plants, dairies, c
anning factories, cooking oil factories and beverage industry. Other unions active in food and allied sectors are the smaller specialized unions SINTIA (sugar), SINTIC (cashew), SINTMAP (fisheries
Frame Agreement with NGO (WWF Finland) The aim of the programme is to conserve the mountain rainforests in Muller-Schwaner area in Borneo. The area is rich in biodiversity and home to many endemic species. Also thousands of people, including indigenous groups, live in the area. However, biodive
rsity and local livelihoods are threatened by unsustainable development and infrastructure. Poor governance of natural resources is a direct and indirect cause of habitat, biodiversity, productivity loss by preventing or undermining enabling conditions and
 incentives for sustainable use. Deforestation, driven by timber logging and forest conversion to palm oil plantations, is one of the key challenges. Also mining is becoming an increasing problem in the area.The expected result of the programme is that an 
effective conservation management and equitable customary land-use are in place in Muller-Schwaner area. Improvement of land ownership of local communities and strengthening of the environmental legislation and governance principles are in the focus of our
 approach. At the same time we are influencing the companies working in the area to adopt sustainable approaches and strengthening of local livelihoods through green economy. These all factors reduce pressure on forests and support the long-term wellbeing 
of people and nature in the area.Beneficiaries: People living in the area, local district governments and local NGOs/CSOs.Implementor: WWF Indonesia (http://www.wwf.or.id/). Cooperation partners: Gunung Lumut Muller Foundation, Indigenous People Aliance (h

Frame agreement with NGO (Fida Int.) "The Project Purpose is to increase the engagement of Fida partners in Eastern Africa on advocacy issues through awareness raising and trainings.  Advocating for human rights brings about positive changes, strengthening civil society and creating a legitim
ate space for the protection and promotion of everyone's rights. Inadequate knowledge on advocacy and absence of leadership guidelines in advocacy has hold back the Church partner from advocacy actions. Fida Partners in Eastern Africa are Full Gospel Churc
hes of Kenya (FGCK), Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (PCU), Free Pentecostal Church of Tanzania (FPCT), Ethiopian Guenet Church (EGC), Ethiopian Full Gospel Believers Church (EFGBC), the Community of Pentecostal Churches in Burundi (CEPBU), Association of P
entecostal Church of Rwanda (ADEPR) and the Pentecostal Churches in Central Africa (CEPAC). The project will be implemented by Fida Eastern Africa Advocacy Programme through these partners. The target groups are the partners and the people who have had the
ir human rights trampled on like people with disabilities, people living with HIV, children and the voiceless. These people are included in the training and articulate the issues themselves (""human rights by people"", not only ""human rights for people"")
. At the same time, the partners are challenged to advocate for, with and through those whose rights are violated. It is the right of every person to be safe from harm, to be treated fairly and with dignity, to live the life they choose, and to have an act
ive part in their community and wider society. Human rights has to do with core values that is important for all people based on fairness, respect, equality, dignity and autonomy. The project will empower Fida Partners in Eastern Africa through awareness a
nd trainings on advocacy and support them to develop policy guidelines on advocacy interventions. The project will develop training materials to be used by partners in training and conduct trainings on the manual. Partners will be supplied with every neces
sary material on advocacy responses. The project will monitor and report on the advocacy implementation process. The project aims at contributing to the reduction of violation of human rights through increased involvement of partners in advocating for huma
n rights.  The expected impact is that those who were voiceless will have a voice through the empowered partners and their rights honoured. By the end of the program there should be an improvement

ZHC: Addressing Honey Producers? and Processors? Financial and Marketing Needs Project initiatated by Zambian Honey Council to address the financial and marketing needs of their members: honey producers and processors. The motivation for the project rose from the realisation of the fact that if beekeepers are to change from subsisten
ce honey production to honey production as a business they will need access to working capital. Currently working capital is from nearby sources such as a family member / friend / well wisher but will eventually need to change to a loan from a financial in
stitution. If increased honey production is to be promoted trainings in quality production increasing number of beekeepers and improved market linkages linked to access to finance becomes prudent so as to have a constant supply of quantity and quality hone
y on the market (meeting local demand).Specific objectives of the project are:- Help beekeepers increase access to commercial finance through the promotion of savings and credit honey production groups.- Improve honey packers access to credit through the u
se of invoice discount scheme hence increasing their purchasing power (bee products) from beekeepers leading to a constant supply of honey on local markets (supermarkets).  - Improve the marketability of Zambian honey through the promotion of ZHC quality a
ssurance mark. - Improve supply of quality and quantities of honey by beekeepers through strengthening seven (7) ZHC district and establishment of additional area associations. - Improve quality through adoption of ZHC field standards as national standards
 in the country.Women participation is set at 30% in all out lined activities. Within governance issues gender issues will be mainstreamed with at least 30% women leaders in the districts + area associations set up.
