Uganda's government has contributed little to the situa
tion of human rights, and has even civil actively limited political rights. Journalists have been harassed, and have been accused for the demagogy. Radios are under special attention of the Government, because radio reaches 90 % of the population. Due to  
the threats the media self- censors widely their broadcasts. However, in Uganda , there are dozens of independent medias. The project's target area in Toro Kingdom, the freedom of expression is limited all the time. The project aims to strengthen the TLC a
nd the capacity of human rights activists , to inform the public about human rights, and strengthen the TLC?s networking. The expected impacts of a forum for discussion about human rights , a functioning network of human rights activists and their increase

International Commission of Jurists - Enhancing and strengthening Judicial Reforms, resolution of electoral disputes The constitution provides specific time frames for determination of electoral disputes. Presidential election petition must be filed within seven days after the date of the declaration of results and determined within fourteen day. Parliamentary election p
etitions are to be done within six months after the filing. This calls for a continued and concerted effort towards supporting and equipping the judiciary with tools that are designed to enhance its capacity to handle electoral disputes. The time lines pro
vided for determination of disputes in the presidential and other elections proved to have practical challenges when the constitutional and statutory provisions were being implemented. 3rd Phase Activities-Review experiences of the judiciary in the managem

Frame agreement with NGO (Suomen Lahetysseura ry) The project provides training for teachers to facilitate education for deaf children and their access to different school levels, more information to decision-makers and trainers and provides social and counseling services to deaf people. It is estimated t
hat there are over 500.000 deaf persons in Ethiopia, mostly young people, and only less than 5 % of them has access to school. There are very few schools for deaf in the whole country. In addition, special classes for deaf children exist in ordinary school
s but after 4th grade they have to attend ordinary classes where the teachers usually do not have sign language skills. The project includes also complementary training courses for teachers working with deaf children and for education sector functionaries 
responsible for special education. The courses are organized in cooperation with the local Association of the Deaf and the Ministry of Education. In addition, the project increases knowledge about deafness and looks for advocacy opportunities as well as co
ntacts with deaf people and people interested in the work. The implementing agency is the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus / South Central Synod Development and Social Services Commission (EECMY-DASSC-SCS) in Hossana.

Communications with stakeholders and internal communications The realisation of the objectives of Finland's development policy requires support from citizens and their confidence in the effectiveness and potential impact of any actions taken.  The MFA's Development Communications Unit is responsible for raising publ
ic awareness about global development issues and the objectives themes and results of Finland's development policy.  Effective development communications require that medium and message meet citizen and stakeholder needs that texts be written in clear lang
uage and that each message be tailored to its target group.  Information is made available not only through traditional official channels but also via social media and at public events.  Specific programmes are being prepared to help the media learn about 
development issues and development cooperation.  The appropriation reserved for communications with stakeholders is used for an annual development briefing targeted to Finnish decision-makers and policy-makers. In addition an opinion poll is organised focu
sing on the Finns' views of development cooperation and development policy. The appropriation is also used to enable participation in the OECD DAC international networks and other activities in cooperation with stakeholders..
European Disability Forum + International Disability Alliance/ Meaningful inclusion of persons with disabilities in int. development IDA is a network representing members that are organisations of persons with disabilities. IDA?s unique composition as a network of international persons with disabilities? organisations allows it to act as an authoritative and representative voice of pers
ons with disabilities in the United Nations (UN) system.The proposed project aimed at ensuring that the post-2015 development framework fosters meaningful inclusion of persons with disabilities reflecting a human rights-based approach and that DPOs and the
ir allies have access to resources and accountability mechanisms to advocate for its implementation in conjunction with the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The invisibility of persons with disabilities in the Millennium Development Goals
 (MDGs) framework its programmes and policy designs and the statistics supporting the monitoring of its implementation are some of the key reasons for the lack of inclusion of persons with disabilities in development.To ensure that the post 2015 developmen
t agenda will be inclusive and that DPOs will have access to adequate support for demanding its implementation IDA will work with its global and regional members its allies especially the International Disability and Development Consortium and its members 
as well as the UN agencies and supportive UN members states to ensure that:-Voices of persons with disabilities and their allies are taken into account in the negotiation of the set of goals and associated targets of the post-2015 development framework -Th
e post-2015 development agenda process increases momentum and incentives so that relevant UN bilateral and multilateral development agencies develop normative strategic and operational frameworks that are meaningfully inclusive for persons with disabilitie
s- Strengthened use of UN treaty bodies and the Universal Periodic Review as accountability mechanisms for Member State commitments to inclusive development and the human rights of persons with disabilities- Improved technical capacities of regional DPOs N
GOs and UN development agencies to support global and national stakeholders to make development programmes and policies inclusive within CRPD implementation in low- and middle-income countries.

Food security and water resources for the Niva?le native people's communities and actions for the empowerment of their women The beneficiaries are two Niva?le native people's communities Yi'shinachat and Quen?a?lay which are situated in Chaco Paraguay in the Pilcomayo river area. This region is practically isolated from the outside world without working infrastructure and basic 
services. The area is traditional living environment of the Niva?le people with harsh living conditions with prolonged dry seasons. Their situation is further complicated by the destruction of the ecosystem by forest loggings that endanger communities' foo
d security as they are dependent on the forest and its alimentary resources since their access to traditional land and fishing waters is districted. The consequences of the lack of alimentation and water resources are serious and endanger their existence a
nd culture habits and traditions. The communities themselves don't have the capacity to increase food production or create external income sources which causes temporary and permanent immigration. The communities' women suffer the most of the situation as 
they stay in the communities with children taking care of the land that doesn't guarantee them sufficient alimentary resources. The project rises from the problems and their solutions identified by the women. The aim is to tackle the problems by committing
 the beneficiaries to the goals by applying participative approach and operating in coordination with the beneficiaries. Some of the concreate actions are the formulation of community plans to guarantee water supply and increase water storage capacity. To 
guarantee food security small lamb and goat flocks will be acquired for production of meat milk and wool. Education on the care taking of the animals and production is included. Excess production and wool handcrafts are sold to increase family income.The e
nhancement of women's role and their empowerment are strongly present throughout the project. The women get education on their rights and their role in communities is strengthened. The communities are in process of organization which Tierra Libre-ISA suppo
rts by giving them training technical and societal advising and association support. Follow-up administration and technical coordination of the project is jointly realized with the communities and Tierra Libre-ISA. The overall aims are achieving food secur
ity and sufficient water supply enhancement of associational and organizational capacities and the promotion of native peoples' rights and equality between men and women.
