Country Office 506588 Oxfamnovib Country Great Idea Phase IIII

Considering the learning and successes of the phases of the pilot project implemented in Parwan province - and following MOE mandate which is education for all in order to enable all students to benefit from high quality teaching, CHA in close cooperation with its partners, intends to implement the 4th phase of project GREAT IDEA. The target area for this intervention will be 59 schools in which 21 previous and 38 new schools in four remote districts of the provinces including parwan, panjsher, Kapisa and Kabul. Besides, CHA would consider community mobilization process for said provinces to encourage community#s contribution and supplying more schools by the program.
In the National Education Strategic Plan for Afghanistan where access and quality are considered the two main obstacles and challenges, distance learning is mentioned as an approach to respond to these challenges. GREAT IDEA phase I, II and III tested the distance learning methodology in Parwan province and found that it#s quite an effective medium in the Afghan scenario of lack of access and low quality education compounded with increasing insecurity.
Overall objective and approachof the project will be similar to GREAT IDEA phase III which is improving access and quality of education via distance education model with a special focus on communities# participation in expanding the program for their children. The project will specifically promote girls# enrolment in secondary (7, 8, 9) and higher secondary (10, 11, 12) educations and will reduce the drop-out rate of bothboys and girls from secondary and upper secondary educations. The Approach will build teacher#s capacities and will add satisfactory and innovative element to the learning environment. A positive indirect effect is that the increased number of secondary and high school graduates will contribute to a pool of potential teachers. The prospect of a safe and innovative secondary and higher secondary education for girls is expected to increase the transition from primary to secondary and from higher secondary to higher education through university entrance exam for girl students. Moreover, bringing (gender sensitive) innovations into the classroom is also expected to have a positive effect on the performance of teachers
Coping Strategy Index (CSI) This proposed project's aim is to derive a contextualized multi-sector Coping Strategy Index (CSI) for Afghanistan that is suitablefor use in assessing the need for intervention and monitoring the impact of multi-sector emergency response programmes, which includes the Multipurpose Cash Grants (MPCGs), and which has been rigorously tested to ensure validity as a proxy of overall household stress. The CSI will include strategies which are easily measurable and as objectively verifiable as possible to support accuracy of field data.

Furthermore, the process of constructing the CSI will be carried out in such a way to generate support for a harmonized use of the product within the wider humanitarian community in Afghanistan. The work will also provide the opportunity to study whether a single multi-sector CSI is feasible for use by aid agencies in Afghanistan and where variances occur.
The methodology for creation of a multi-sector CSI for Afghanistan requires a consultative approach with the broader humanitarian community, combined with both qualitative and quantitative methods at the field level. The task is to identify, on the one hand, a wide number of potential coping strategies, and on the other hand, a set of concrete traditional sector based indicators against which the performance of these strategies can be judged and validated. Identifying both of these requires: buy in at the coordination level and consultation with donors and response agencies; a piece of qualitative work at the community level to generate genuine ideas for realistic and relevantcoping strategies across various contextual settings in Afghanistan; and a quantitative survey to complement the qualitative piece once the potential coping strategies are identified and narrowed down. This survey, with a range of samples taken across the country, is meant to enable analysis of the strategies which are most valid for use as a proxy of overall household stress
Voices for Youth Transformation The project aims at Enhancing Youth Livelihood for Social Transformation with a goal to contribute to the improved access to sustainable livelihood means of the young people in Uganda through engagement in policy advocacy at national level by December 2015.
It isexpected that the outcomes of the initiative will inform government planning processes as well as inform development partner#s priority setting in regard to livelihood programs as a means to address the high unemployment levels.
Livelihoods in Terekeka/Lobonok Payam ACORD 2012-2015-Livelihoods Project.  Sustainable Livelihoods Project in Terekeka and Lobonok Payam of Central Equatoria State.  Currently ACORD is mainly implementing Sustainable Livelihoods Programmes (focusing on water and sanitation, food security and income diversifications#components of fisheries, livestock) in Terekeka and Juba Counties, Central Equatoria State; cross-cutting with Gender, HIV/AIDs and Environmental awareness campaigns and Mainstreaming.

DFD Diaspora youth organizations seek to facilitate the integration of the youth in their host communities in an effort to build vibrant, secure and cohesive communities. Any activity or project carried out by the youth diaspora organisations to promote integration should ensure that it engages both the native and migrant communities in a position that encourages mutual responsibility, participation and mutual benefits to the society as a whole. Various organisations most notably the African Diaspora Youth Network in Europe (ADYNE) and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) have held various seminars and programs with the main objective of promoting dialogue between different youth organisations. This is done with the main aim of promoting better integration of young migrants into European societies. The bridge project funded by the European commission aims at preventing situations of prejudice and self-discrimination by improving their social competences, in particular communication skills (bridge, 2010). More training should beprovided by the youth organisations to youth in the diaspora in an effort to better their access to the labour market and personal development. As acknowledged by the European commission, successful integration of migrants both young and old is the key to maximizing opportunities in both the host country and the country of origin (European commission, 2012).

DFD is a young Diaspora Platform,existing 4 years. On top of this, organizations vary in their thematic focus and projects.  Thus, on one hand, there is a need to improve its organizational cohesiveness; and on the other hand, DFD must be able to push forward its collective agenda.  It is therefore imperative that DFD initiates participatory approach in leveling off knowledge and expertise to achieve a collective agenda thathas broad-based support from its constituencies.

This initiative is a good example on  setting up a structural instrument for the strategic engagement of Diaspora youths, better understanding and lessons from most successful initiatives carried out by youth-led and youth facilitating organisations will be provided to involve them within the Diaspora organizations.

By supporting the initiative of the Diaspora, just like the network or the platform of the Diaspora, Oxfam Novib would be again seen and recognized as an organization that supports migrant organizations. Diaspora platform are important for Oxfam Novib to come in contact with the migrants in the Netherlands and to help them to lobby for their work.

AUDIO VISUAL ARCHIVING FOR PEACE Two decades after the genocide, IRIBA Center plans to gather archives that cover more than a century of Rwandan audiovisual history; they will be collected through many sources.
Since 1994, all Rwandans now live with a heritage of genocide. Their efforts to reconstruct durable peace can no longer afford not to include a discovery or a rediscovery of their common history and their shared identity.
Iriba Centre, whose name means « the source » in Kinyarwanda, will gather together films, photographs, and audio documents dating from the beginning of the colonial period right up until today. At the site, in a building that the French Embassy in Kigali has made a commitment to put at our disposal, we will construct an educational desk with group programme sessions. IRIBA will equally organise mobile projections in rural areas where the majority of Rwandans live, notably paying attention to the most marginalised.
Audiovisual archives are an essential element of the cultural and historical heritage of any country, however, in Rwanda where few people read, and less than a generation after one of the worst genocides of the 20th century, these resources will be called upon to play a crucial role for future generations. Knowledge of the past will be essential forconstructing a future without conflict.
By consciously and deliberately making effort to educate Rwandan people especially the young, marginalized and in the rural areas about their culture, IRIBA has the advantage of reaching the unreachable. Being ableto take information to them using by sharing audio-visual archives also breaks barriers between the educated and those able to visit museums and pay fees to learn of the past.
Country Office 506491 Oxfam Novib Senega In line with Vision 2020, Oxfam in West Africa has produced 4 videos on Active Citizens leaders in West Africa (Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Senegal).

OGB WASH & Winterization Lebanon The project is addressing a gap in WASH service provision benefiting to approximately 3,564 families (approximately 21,384 individuals) in 9 Palestinian gatherings in South Lebanon (Maashou, Jal al Baher, Burglieh, Qasmiyeh, Shabriha, Kfar Badda, Wasta, Jim Jeem and Aitaniyeh) for a period of six months and a winter support cash assistance top-up of 1 month to extremely vulnerable families inthe target areas.

The main rationale is to fill a gap in the provision of WASH services (water quality controland fuel for pumping, solid waste collection, cleaning campaigns and emptying sceptic tanks) and at the same time provide a one-off cash top-up of 100 USD to the most vulnerable families during winter when income is lower (if at all) and costs of living are higher. These WASH services will be complemented with Public Health awareness sessions in the target areas covering topics such as waterborne diseases, scabies and environmental health.
Costs of living during winter are higher as families will need to purchase fuel, gas or wood to keep their dwellings warm. Oxfam and local partnerorganisation PARD provide a one-off cash distribution (through Libanpost  cash service provider) to help cover those additional costs in order to prevent families to resortto negative coping mechanisms.
ICCO - El Nino Response The Joint Humanitarian Response for El Nino in Zimbabwe (ZIMJR) provides humanitarian assistance to communities affected by El Nino. This 6-month joint programme is focused on the most affected provinces (Matabeleland North, Midlands and Masvingo) and isimplemented through the Dutch Relief Alliance by 7 Dutch NGOs, led by Oxfam. Together they work towards three specific objectives:
1) Food Security and Agiculture: To provide emergency assistance to address immediate food needs of vulnerable households and protect rural livelihoods through provision of crop and livestock inputs.
2) Water and Sanitation: To restore access to sufficient water of appropriate quality and quantity to fulfill basic needs and to provide access to critical WASH related non/fooditems, with a focus on the most vulnerable families in targeted areas.
3) Nutrition: To protect the nutritional status of vulnerable children under the age of 5 years, pregnant and lactating women from deterioration.
The Joint Response will support 91,686 people in need. The total available budget for the Joint Response is #3,5 million, funded by Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Such action includes any activity initiatedfor youth in the areas of SRDS, education and prevention and fight against HIV / AIDS
The process is based on two major tools whoseapplication helps to establish a practice of effective intervention planning tool  "Are you on good track  in french -Etes vous surla bonne voie - Six Steps to measure the effects and impacts of development projects."

1. Objectives of the process
 Ensure the availability of expertise in 12 countries through training of trainers
 Promoting effective interventions in the areas of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education and prevention of HIV / AIDS for youth

2. STEPS IN THE PROCESS

Step 1: The theory of planned behavior (includes sub-behaviors, determinants and connects program activities).
 Step 2: The characteristics of effective interventions (using the planning and support)
Step 3:RGES (critical themes, gender inequality, the needs of young people living with HIV or YPLHIV)
Step 4: Evaluation of the effects and impacts of program activities (using the manual Are you on track? )
For Mali, Oxfam Novib support the action plan to promote AADeC tool with two external partners: NGO TONUS  and Jeunesses et developpement
Specifically support will be directed to the Partners My Right, My Voice: One World and its partners in implementation as well as the EFA coalition

NO, Fair Finance Guide Int. In 2015, the coalition of the Norwegian Fair Finance Guide was formed by Framtiden i vare hender (Future in our hands) and Forbrukerradet (Norwegian Consumer council). Since November 2015, the Norwegian FFG is full member of the international FFG coalition. The 2organisations prepared the founding of FFG Norway on their own account; and are participating in the working groups of the FFGI since October 2015. We came to value their vision on financial sector development and the professionalism of their contributions This is the first contract with Framtiden. The organisation provided all necessary documentation regarding the organisation, its registration and financial administration.
The Norwegian coalition succeeded in raising own funding for its functioning in 2016 from The Financial Market Fund. Therefore, they only need a relatively small amount of funding from the Sida project.
The proposal presented by FFG Norway is clear and consistent and in line with the original proposal of the FFG for the first 7 countries. The main activities will be realized with separate funding (outside the Sida project, but very much in line with the Sida project): project coordination;baseline study of bank policies; website development; launch). The Sida project funding will be used for the national case study and travel costs to participate at the FFGI meetings in Stockholm and Jakarta, travel to exchange with FFG Sweden.
With the connectionof Norway (and Denmark), the Scandinavian region will be very well represented within the FFGI coalition; because of the overlap ofbanks that operate in the region, they can support and strengthen each others efforts and become more effective.
