FLC: F.R.E.E. Woman Ng?ombe Youth Empowerment. PYM: Nuorten naisten taloudellinen voimaannuttaminen korutuotannon avulla Ng'omben asuinalueella F.R.E.E. is a social enterprise aiming to financial empowerment for marginalized young women with local income from Ng'ombe area in Lusaka. This is made possible through improving their income and skills in jewellery production.F.R.E.E. trains the women in
 jewellery production in its workshop in one of the low income shanty compounds of Lusaka Ng'ombe. The materials for the jewellery are natural resources like copper and gemstones and in this project also silver. F.R.E.E. focuses on value addition to these 
natural resources as well as getting the products on the international and local markets.The objective of the project is to produce regular higher income to the women actively involved in the F.R.E.E. activities. This happens through developing their skill
s and F.R.E.E.?s product development. The project also develops the commercial and administrative capacity of F.R.E.E. and through that increases F.R.E.E. sales. New sales contacts to Europe and Finland are developed in the project. All this adds to the in
come of the beneficiaries.This project is implemented in partnership with the Savonia University of Applied Sciences. Savonia's role is to provide training and experts for finishing jewelleries to meet European standards through developing a business model
 for F.R.E.E. developing online sales helping in finding new business partners and sending experts to develop the products to correspond the needs and requirements of the European markets. F.R.E.E. on sosiaalinen yritys jonka pyrkimys on taloudellisesti voimaannuttaa pienituloisia marginalisoidussa asemassa olevia nuoria naisia. Tämä tapahtuu parantamalla heidän ansaintamahdollisuuksiaan ja osaamistaan korutuotannon avulla. F.R.E.E.:n toi
minnan keskiössä on köyhällä Ng?omben asuinalueella sijaitseva korutyöpaja missä se kouluttaa nuoria naisia koruntekijöinä. F.R.E.E. korujen materiaalina on paikallisia luonnonvaroja kuten kuparia jalokiviä ja tässä projektissa myös hopeaa. F.
 R.E.E kehittää näiden luonnonvarojen arvoketjua ja sen toiminnan tarkoitus on saada tuotteet paikallisille ja kansainvälisille markkinoille.Hankkeen tavoitteena on tuottaa F.R.E.E.:n toiminnassa mukana olevilla naisille säännöllinen suurempi toimee
ntulo. Tämä tapahtuu kehittämällä heidän osaamistaan koruntekijöinä ja korutuotteita tuotteistamalla. Hankkeessa kehitetään myös F.R.E.E.:n liiketaloudellista osaamista ja siten F.R.E.E.:n myyntiä. Hankkeessa ja luodaan tuotteille uusia myyntik
anavia erityisesti Eurooppaan ja Suomeen. Tämä kaikki lisää hyödynsaajien saamia tuloja.Hanke toteutetaan yhteistyössä Savonia -ammattikorkeakoulun kanssa. Savonia kehittää F.R.E.E.n liiketoimintamallia online -myyntikanavia ja auttaa löytämää

F.a: Scaling up and scaling out community seed systems to influence policy reform towards farmers’ seed rights This project is complementary to work done by ZIMSOFF and UNAC (Mozambique, through their Manica Provincial Union Ucama) to achieve smallholder farmer seed rights through enhancing seed sovereignty in Africa in the face of the harmonisation of seed laws vi
a seed protocols under COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) and SADC (Southern Africa Development Community), in the and is in particular a continuation of the 15003AFR project Siemenpuu-Kansalaisliikkeiden yhteistyösäätiö sr funded p
roject in which the development was started of a collaborative program between ZIMSOFF and UNAC (Mozambique) to support and strengthen community based and farmer managed seed systems. During that phase ZIMSOFF and UNAC held exchange visits in both Zimbabwe
 and Mozambique to promote sharing of information, and contact farmers (mostly women) were identified to play a divulgating role, furthermore a regional workshop in Zimbabwe was held on the harmonization of seed laws and to develop strategies involving the
 contact farmers, and it was decided to follow up in a process between ZIMSOFF and UNAC to capture on and enhance good practices, as well as to save and exchange available local varieties. The current project then aims to scale up and out existing communit
y seed systems to influence policy reform towards farmers’ seed rights. In order to deepen understanding on seeds systems, this project will organize baseline assessment of diversity on identified good practices of community seed systems in Zimbabwe and 
Mozambique. These examples will be used to link up the voice of the farmers’ organizations to influence change horizontally and vertically from the grassroots. The project will then also organise workshops for farmer to farmer training on agroecology wit
h specific emphasise on local seed systems, to raise awareness and to transform local thinking towards community seed systems that is rooted in local knowledge and ecological diversity. Towards the same objective field days, seed and food fairs will be org
anised. Members will be supported to improve access to seed diversity and securing availability through e.g. household and community seed banks, whilst linking also community and seed programmes. www.esaff.org
F.a: Partnership Program 2017 Conducting the Abilis partnership programme in Kyrgyzstan until 30.6.2017. The work includes facilitating and monitoring projects, organizing training for organisations that are receiving funding from Abilis. The ephasis will be on the facilitation and fin
alizing the ongoing projects. Only few new projects will be facilitated to start.
F.a: Projection and promotion of Adivasi culture and Adivasi issues Natya Chetana is a community theatre, which supports Adivasi movement by their projects. There is a need to make it public that consumption is responsible for the problems of Adivasi life and there is need to motivate people to support Adivasi problem solv
ing activities in their level. The artistic abilities of the Adivasi have never been recognized by the mainstream cultural stream. There is hardly any known artist who is an Adivasi. There is a need to project the strength of Adivasi culture and artistic a
bilities at the larger platforms. Theatre or cultural activities are always seen as a performance, but Adivasi people do not carry a concept of division between performers and audiences. They have songs and rhythm for their all occasions since birth until 
death. Therefore, the concept of this project is to highlight the strength of Adivasi culture and artists through theatre, as theatre has reflected the society since its inception. The process will also encourage artists to challenge dominant forces of adm
inistration or politics. The self-esteem will grow among the community as well as the artists, when the grassroots artists will be highlighted in the larger platforms. The project will facilitate theatre among Adivasi and non-Adivasi and bring the performa
nces on higher platforms, in solidarity with the NAA network. http://www.natyachetana.in
F.a: CNS advocacy for the benefit of the gatherer reserves This project engage in mobilisations and capacity building among communities in the growth corridors of Beira and Nacala, and with this deepen and enlargen the MAM movement building process. In particular the project will be reaching out to communities aff
ected by tree plantations in the Beira corridor in the districts of Namaroi, Ile e Mulevala (province of Zambezia), Sussundenga, Gondola and in the district of Manica (province of Manica); aswell as in the Nacal corridor in Mecubure (province of Nampula). 
ADECRU tells that in these areas it is estimated some 4000 families are affected by the tree plantations, and some 1.325.386 families indirectly. Secondly, the project will be reaching out to communities affected by agrobusiness projects as ProSavana and t
he development project of Vale do Rio in the corridor of Nacala in the province of Nampula. The ProSavana campaign in its totality reaches out to an estimated 4,5 million people threatened by the plans. In addition, instead of as in the previous phase the 
previously organised exchange visit between communities, a larger regional meeting is planned in order to maximise outreach. Partners in this process which have also collaborated in the previous project with ADECRU are the Commission for Justice and Peace 
of Nampula and Nacala; The rural provincial unions of Nampula and Zambezia. Under the ProSavana campaign, ADECRU continues to work with in particular Justica Ambiental, UNAC, and Forum Mulher, in addition to more than 20 organisations and social movement i

F.a: Non-formal training in support for refugees in Ayilo 1 + 2 and Nyumazi Despite the peace negotiations the political and ethnic conflict in South Sudan continues and the number of refugees is increasing. The refugee outflow is projected to exceed 800,000 by the end of 2015. Children and women bear the brunt of the conflict: 70
% of the refugees are children, and almost 80% of the refugee households are headed by women. It is estimated that some 35,000 South Sudanese children are unaccompanied or separated from their families. The number of South Sudanese refugees in Uganda was i
n the end of 2015 210,000 most of them settled in the Northern Uganda. The project’s goal is to contribute towards poverty alleviation among the refugee population in Ayilo 1 + 2, and Nyumanzi Refugee Settlements and community members in neighbouring vil
lages in Pakele, Dzaipi and Arinyapi sub-counties in Adjumani District in West Nile, Uganda. The specific objective is that “Targeted beneficiaries – 70 % of them women – have acquired skills to become self-reliant in terms of improved literacy (eith
er in local languages or in English) and life skills and active participation to their communities’ development. This is done by offering functional literacy and English for adult refugees and supporting FAL for Ugandans. The improved educational level w
ill contribute towards improved ability to analyse the environment, to increased self-esteem and capacity to actively take efforts to improve living conditions, which will gradually help refugees and Ugandans nearby to fight poverty. The project will also 
prepare refugees for repatriation in the future. The functionality is emphasised; essential skills needed for refugees to participate in the society and to operate confidently, effectively and independently in life are inclusive. Issues such as better heal
th care and sanitation, improved nutrition, environmentally friendly practises, money transactions and savings, rights and responsibilities of refugees and women are essential part of curriculum. The project will run annually 50 to 70 learning groups; 40 -
 50 for literacy and 10 - 20 for English. Annually the project trains 1400 - 1500 refugees and about 200 – 300 Ugandans literacy learners are helped with materials and training.

Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission AIHRC Tuki Afganistanin riippumattomalle ihmisoikeuskomissiolle (AIHRC) The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commision is the most important actor in the country in the field of human rights.The structure duties and mandates of the AIHRC have been defined in a special law. AIHRC is mandated to carry out the following five 
activities: 1) Monitoring the observance of human rights 2) Promotion and protection of human rights 3) Monitoring the situation of and the people?s access to human rights and freedoms 4) Investigations of research on violations of human rights and 5) Adop
tion of measures to improve and promote the human rights situation in the country. The AIHRC works to support the Afghan government as an advisory body with the goal that human rights are given the precedence they deserve in the government?s decision-makin
g process. Furthermore AIHRC directly supports citizens whose human rights have been violated or who are susceptible to violations. Finland supports AIHRC with 1 million Euros during the years 2017-2018. Afganistanin perustuslakiin perustuva riippumaton ihmisoikeuskomissio (Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Comission AIHRC) on Afganistanin tärkein ihmisoikeustoimija. Sen päätehtäviä ovat 1) tarkkailla maan ihmisoikeustilannetta 2) edistää ja suoj
ella ihmisoikeuksia 3) tarkkailla ja edistää afganistanilaisten ihmisoikeuksien toteutumista ja pääsyä oikeuslaitoksen palveluiden piiriin 4) ihmisoikeusrikkomusten tutkimus ja seuranta sekä 5) ihmisoikeustilanteen parantaminen maassa.  AIHRC toimii 
Afganistanin hallituksen neuvoa antavana elimenä ja antaa tukea ja neuvontaa kansalaisille joiden ihmisoikeuksia on loukattu tai jotka ovat loukkauksille alttiita. AIHRC on 16 vuoden olemassaolonsa aikana saanut vietyä maan ihmisoikeustilannetta eteenpä
in. Vankiloiden monitorointi on selvästi tehokkaampaa ja poliisin suorittamat kidutustapaukset ovat vähentyneet. Naisten oikeuksien osalta AIHRC on nostanut keskusteluun arkojakin aiheita. Myönteistä on myös lasten ja vammaisten ihmisten oikeuksien ed
istäminen. AIHRC:n työ nauttii kansallista ja kansainvälistä arvostusta sitä pidetään näkyvänä ja hyvin toimivana ihmisoikeusinstituutiona johon yhteistyötahot luottavat. AIHRC:n rahoittaminen tukee Suomen kehityspoliittisen selonteon painopiste
itä 3 (yhteiskuntien demokraattisuus ja toimintakyky ovat vahvistuneet) ja 1 (naisten ja tyttöjen oikeudet ja asema ovat vahvistuneet). Suomi tukee AIHRC:n työtä yhteensä 1 500 000 eurolla vuosina 2019-2021.
