Expanding and improving family planning and ASRH through private health care delivery This projet is aimed to improve and expand access to Sexual Reproductive Health Services and commodities, especially for youth and adolescents.
NCIRAGACE: Mass Media communication strategy for sexual and reproductive and rights An alliance consisting of Jimbere, Population Media Center (PMC), Population Services
International (PSI), TWUBAKE and Yaga is proposing to the Embassy of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands (EKN) an integrated mass media strategy to influence positive social norms and
behaviors with regard to sexual and reproductive health and uptake of family planning services. 

The project is designed to serve as a roadmap for increasing demand for sexual and reproductive health services particularly family planning, and moving Burundi toward a more equitable and gender-sensitive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) environment
Community Health and Nutrition through Local Governance and Empowerment (CHANGE), Somalia Through this programme, Population Services International (PSI) seeks to respond to Component 1 of DFID’s Somali Health and Nutrition Programme (SHINE), Supply of EPHS through an Embedded Approach. The impact of the programme is improved health of Somalis, leading to improved human development and economic development outcomes for Somalia. This will be measured through two indicators: 1) Reduction in the maternal mortality ratio and 2) Reduction in the under-five mortality rate.
The outcome is increased utilisation and access to reproductive, nutrition, child and maternal health services as delivered by the EPHS. This will be measured through four indicators: 1) Increase contraceptive prevalence rate, 2) Increased utilisation of key health services by women of reproductive age, and 3) Increased utilisation of key health service by children under five, and 4) Increased number of health authorities capacitated and implementing EPHS management functions.
This programme will implement activities under Component 1 of DFID’s SHINE programme, supply of EPHS. This programme will implement activities between April 2016 and March 2021 under six outputs that reflect the HSSP building blocks:
1. Health Governance and Leadership: Improved governance and leadership at all levels of the health sector to manage and oversee the EPHS;
2. Health Workforce: Skilled and trained public health workforce produced and distributed equitably to deliver reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health and nutrition services through a continuum of care, within the EPHS framework;
3. Service Delivery: Improved availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability and adaptability of quality health and nutrition services within the EPHS framework;
4. Health Financing: Equitable and efficient health financing systems in place to deliver the EPHS framework;
5. Medical Products and Technologies: Improved availability and quality of essential medicines, vaccines, nutrition commodities, medical equipment and physical structures;
6. Health Information: Improved access, availability, acceptability, quality and use of health information, including a health management information system (HMIS).

Combatting the surging illegal trade of endangered reptiles in the Eastern Caribbean This project supports the conservation of endangered endemic reptiles from the Lesser Antilles (Saint Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines and Barbados) for the international pet trade. The purpose is to reduce the illegal collection and trafficking of endemic and threatened reptiles from the Lesser Antilles to the United States, Europe and Japan, by increasing the capacity of local agencies to detect and prevent illegal activities and enforce laws, and by building public support to combat wildlife trafficking. The project conserves the Union Island gecko, Saint Lucia whiptail, Saint Lucia iguana, Grenadines iguana, Barbados leaf-toed gecko, and other threatened endemics by addressing the impacts of the rising, unsustainable, and illegal collection of wild reptiles for the international pet trade. Grant funds will support: 1) Establishing wildlife crime surveillance in sites with exploited and endangered reptile populations; 2) Streamlining the collection, management, analysis, and use of patrol and wildlife data; 3) Training staff to address capacity gaps of agencies responsible for wildlife law enforcement; 4) Conducting community engagement campaigns to build national pride in native reptiles and to support the combat of illegal wildlife trade; and (5) Exchanging information, methods, and lessons learned, and strengthen cooperation to combat the illegal trafficking of reptiles.
Wildife Without Borders - Critically Endangered Animals Saint Lucia Racer Project: Launching the Recovery of the Rarest Kown Snake
Saint Lucia Racer Project: Saving the Rarest Known Snake this project will prevent the extinction of the Saint Lucia racer and restore its place in the coastal ecosystems of Saint Lucia. Priority actions in the new Saint Lucia Racer Conservation Action Plan will be implemented to increase the world population to at least 500 individuals by 2025;as few as 18 currently remain. Specific objectives include: (1) The population of racers on Maria Major is maintained at the islands carrying capacity; (2) Preparations are made for reintroducing Saint Lucia racers to at least two more sites (one offshore island and one mainland site); and (3) The species recovery program is robustly underpinned with legislation, enforcement and public support, including measures to prevent poaching.
Saving the Saint Lucia Racer to support conservation efforts in Saint Lucia for the Critically Endangered Saint Lucia racer by implementing key actions identified in the species Conservation Action Plan 2015-2024. The Saint Lucia racer is arguably the worlds rarest snake. With a population of less than fifty individuals, restricted to a single 9.4 hectare islet, the species is at high risk of extinction from invasion by nonnative predators and stochastic events.

Partnership Against Child Exploitation This programme will bring change for boys and girls to enjoy their rights to be protected from the worst forms of child labour in Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Ethiopia. The programme refers to the ‘worst forms of child labour’ (WFCL) as defined by Article 3 of ILO Convention No. 182, which occurs when children are sold, trafficked, in debt bondage, serfdom or forced labour, or are forcibly recruited into armed conflict, used in prostitution or pornography, or engaged in hazardous work. By any measure, many WFCL can be classified as modern slavery. The Effective Approaches to End Worst Forms of Child Labour (herein referred to as EAPEC or ‘EPIC’) programme will reduce WFCL through tackling the supply and demand issues (which result in child labour) with a holistic intervention in improving law enforcement, increasing children’s agency, improving livelihoods for conflict-affected families and supporting businesses to improve supply chain due diligence and duty of care from the bottom up

SP Learning agenda 2017 Within the SP Programme, joint learning is a key priority. In the course of 2016, a learning agenda for the SP Programme has been developed and discussed with the local implementing partners and the MFA. For 2017, the following objectives can be highlighted: 

Objective 1) To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the programmes and ensure the innovation of programme intervention strategies 
In 2017 the focus will particularly be on drawing lessons learned with regard to the main programme interventions and the identification of best practices that can be shared between programmes. To this end NIMD and AWEPA will organise strategic reflection meetings at least twice a year at a local level and at NIMD and AWEPA HQ level. At a regional level, in 2017 a strategic reflection meeting is foreseen in Africa. Besides programmatic reflections, these meetings provide an opportunity to staff and partners to provide input to, and inform themselves on new tools and knowledge products that have been developed.

Objective 2) To strengthen country programmes by deepening our knowledge base
Based on an analysis of the thematic issues that characterise the individual country programmes under the SP, three core themes have been identified and discussed with the NIMD and AWEPA partners: 
1) The cooperation between parliament and political parties
2) The shrinking democratic space
3) The role of parliament and political parties in ensuring that the views and opinions of societal groups are reflected in policymaking and the national budget cycle Political actors are defined as the combined main target group of the Strategic Partnership: - (representatives of) political parties - politicians - (Members of) Parliament and its Committees - Other elected representatives at local levels. NIMD will primarily focus on political parties.

Ukraine Programme 2018 1. Political update 2018
During the first half of 2017, politics in Ukraine was characterized by very active anti-corruption bodies who filed charges against high officials and members of the parliament. The parliament stripped immunity of four MPs, all of them are accused of economic crimes, bribery and misfeasance. Meanwhile, new political parties have been created and existing parties and movements have merged. Nevertheless, the confrontation between the President and the opposition deepens in Ukraine. Former president of Georgia and governor of Odessa Region, Mikheil Saakashvili, was stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship by President Poroshenko in July, but came back to Ukraine without the permission of authorities in September. This was preceded by clashes between activists and police, and a group of Ukrainian politicians and MPs from different factions welcomed and accompanied Mr. Saakashvili. Also, according to a new law, the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) distributed the public funds for Ukrainian political parties, and started review parties’ financial statements. First reports indicate that political parties are experiencing substantial difficulties with these new financial regulations and some try to hide big donations.

• Outlook for 2018
In 2018, NIMD will continue to address the systemic problems of the political system in Ukraine by exploring reform opportunities and finding areas of potential political consensus. Several policy studies on relevant topics for democratic reform, such as political finance and women political participation, will be published. A series of round tables will be organized around these subjects and engage political parties, NGOs and other stakeholders in the debate about the reform of the political system and political parties in Ukraine. NIMD will target these interventions on the most receptive elements of the Parliament, namely the so-called “Euro-optimists” caucus that represents four parties. Peer exchange for thematic support between Georgian and Ukrainian politicians that started in 2017 will continue in the coming year. In general, most resources will be devoted to the running of the two Democracy Schools in Odessa and Lviv, and the setting up of a new school in the East of the country. Considering the weakness of political parties, these schools aim to empower a new generation of change agents to achieve change bottom-up. Lastly, to promote women political participation, NIMD will identify a core group of (female) politicians that will follow specific trainings and experience sharing activities. Political actors are defined as the combined main target group of the Strategic Partnership: - (representatives of) political parties - politicians - (Members of) Parliament and its Committees - Other elected representatives at local levels. NIMD will primarily focus on political parties.
Ghana Programme 2016 GHANA’S POLITICAL BACKGROUND Ghana is generally seen as a development aid success story. In 2000 the first democratic transition of power took place after successful elections and in 2012 power changed hands again. In 2000 the NDC – the party of former dictator Jerry Rawlings – peacefully handed over power to another established party: the NPP. The NPP subsequently won but in 2012 lost again to the NDC. There are four parties in parliament. The NDC and the NPP are the largest. The parties, in comparison to other African countries, are quite established and ideological. Despite major improvements in education, food security and the economy, Ghana is currently facing serious economic challenges due to overpromising and underwhelming oil revenue and subsequent overspending as well as an energy crisis. At the same time, it is facing governance challenges related to the new activity of large scale commercial production of oil. THE APPROACH OF NIMD IN GHANA NIMD’s programme in Ghana started in 2002 and the main focus has been on facilitating interparty dialogue. Political parties were extremely acrimonious towards each other. The attitude was: the winner takes all, if you lose power you lose everything. This blocked any serious political progress. Under the programme’s guidance political leaders met and debated publicly for the first time. This led to an interparty dialogue platform that includes the party leadership of all parliamentary parties. The platform is facilitated by NIMD and local implementing partner organization, the Institute of Economic Affairs. Currently, the platform mainly focuses on three areas: constitutional reform, electoral reform, and addressing excessive executive powers. The platform aims to move Ghana away from what they call ‘Winner takes all politics’ where whoever wins the election has all the power without enough checks and balances. Under the platform’s guidance a transition of power act was drafted and passed into law. This makes for a much better democratic transition. NIMD also supports the parliamentary parties to develop their policies. In Ghana we do this partly by funding a policy analyst post for each of the four parliamentary parties.      Programme deviations/ToC update: Political developments took place as expected, as elections were held and the political opposition won the presidency. The new majority party (NPP) has traditionally been more open to interparty engagement, and the new dynamic suggests the new opposition (NDC) is more likely to be interested in working together. At the same time the two smaller parties in parliament have lost their seats, now all 275 seats are divided by the two largest parties. This may influence how the dialogue platform is constituted as previously it was for parliamentary parties of which there have nearly always been four. Political actors are defined as the combined main target group of the Strategic Partnership: - (representatives of) political parties - politicians - (Members of) Parliament and its Committees - Other elected representatives at local levels. NIMD will primarily focus on political parties.
