There are 135 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. The number of Syrian refugees amounts to 47 million. The total need of humanitarian assistanc
e including inside Syria (HRP) and the neighboring countries (3RP) is 81 billion USD. WFP's needs for 2017-2018 for the Syria region (Egypt Iraq Jordan Lebanon and Turkey) are 23 billion USD. WFP's regional operation reaches about 3 535 000 people in need. Syyrian humanitaarinen kriisi koskettaa yhä kasvavaa määrää maan 214 miljoonan väestöstä. Väestöstä 13 miljoonaa on humanitaarisen avun tarpeessa ja 55 miljoonaa syyrialaista on paennut maan rajojen ulkopuolelle. Humanitaarisen avun kokonaistarv
e vuonna 2019 Syyrian sisällä on pysynyt viime vuoden tasolla eli 35 MRD USD ja sen naapurimaissa (3RP-vetoomus) tarve on yhteensä 56 miljardia USD. WFP:n tarpeet Syyriassa seuraavalle 6 kuukaudelle on 116 miljoonaa USD. Operaatiolla pyritään auttamaa

F.a: Capacity Building Programme for Social Responsibility The aim of the project is to motivate, train and empower the church partners to respond to their target countries’ social problems in coordination with other organisations working in the region. The partners have a significant role in reaching people of 
the regions, if their work is directed outside of the traditional church building. Fida partners with Fundacion y Educacion en Servicio + Asambleas de Dios Renovada in Bolivia, Asociacion de Iglesias Evangelicas in Paraguay, and Asambleas de Dios in Peru. 
The project beneficiaries are the partners, the partners’ work centres’ neighbourhoods and the region’s children and youth. South America’s social problems in the current target countries are very similar. This is why the partners can work in close
 coordination with each other, making a mutually beneficial learning process possible. The project work is based on the preventive treatment of the most general social problems. The large number of volunteers affiliated with the partners contributes to the
 achievement of the project’s aims. The partner is able to work in its target country as a significant non-governmental organisation. Its work is not limited to just traditional work done inside the church. The reach has been extended by stepping out int
o the neighbourhoods in order to help the neighbours. For the suburb’s people, the project’s goal is the positive and protective effect of preventive teaching in, for example domestic violence, mistreatment and substance abuse. The partner is motivated
 and trained to be a significant influence in its community. At the same time, the partner’s work is expanded out of the traditional church buildings and into the region’s communities. Cooperation with other actors in the region enables networking, whi
ch enables purpose in the realisation of wider cooperation. The partner is committed to motivating and training its community so, that social responsibility is not limited to outside aid only. The planning, implementation and monitoring of the partner’s 
own work tells of the partner’s adaptation of the work as part of its own holistic action

IDA-15 replenishment KV.RAH.LAIT/Kv. kehitysjärjestö IDA-15 lisärahoitus Participants reaffirmed their support for the IDA15 policy framework for poverty reduction. The framework includes key measures that support IDA as the ?Platform for Achieving Results at the Country Level? - the theme of the IDA15 replenishment.Based on th
e underpinning policy framework for IDA15 donors reconfirmed their strong support for IDA by pledging a total of SDR 16.5 billion for the IDA15 replenishment (equivalent to US$ 25.1 billion based on the IDA15 foreign exchange reference rates). Together wit
h donor compensation for MDRI debt forgiveness credit reflows and expected World Bank Group transfers the total IDA15 envelope comes to SDR 27.3 billion (US$ 41.6 billion equivalent) which represents a 25 percent increase in SDR commitment authority over I
DA14 (or 30 percent in US dollar equivalent terms).Since its inception IDA credits and grants have totaled US $182 billion averaging US $10 billion a year in recent years and directing the largest share about 50 percent to Africa. In fiscal year 2007 (whic
h ended June 30 2007) IDA commitments reached a record level of US $11.9 billion. Nineteen percent of those commitments were provided on grant terms. New commitments in 2007 comprised 189 operations. In September of 2007 the World Bank Group pledged to pro
vide US $3.5 billion in net income transfers to IDA15. The US $3.5 billion is expected to be contributed equally by IFC and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) both affiliates of the World Bank Group.

F.a: Strengthening community based seeds systems to defend their seed rights The project entails discussions between two members of the international small scale farmer movement, Via Campesina, namely Zimbabwean ZIMSOFF and Mozambican UNAC, on their coordination responsibilities on regional and international levels. They will draft
 a strategy to support the peasant struggle in Eastern and Southern Africa. They will organize exchange visits between their memberships in order to identify good practices of community based seed systems. Videos and written material will be produced on th
ese practices and shared among farmers. ZIMSOFF and UNAC will also organize a workshop on the implications of harmonizing Southern and Eastern African seed laws to community based seed systems in order to strengthen the peasant voice in the theme. The proj
ect aims to develop a pilot programme between ZIMSOFF and UNAC on strengthening community based, farmer lead seed systems. In addition, it contributes to the establishment of a strong regional farmers’ seed network.The dominant position of multinational 
corporations in management of the basic means of agricultural production is one of Southern Africa’s biggest challenges. Seeds are also within the radar of corporate control, as COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) and SADC (Southern Af
rica Development Community) are planning to harmonize seed laws. This would imply dominance of commercial, genetically modified seeds over community managed native seeds, and criminalization of their use. Through the project, ZIMSOFF aims to defend peasant
s’ basic right to save, exchange, evolve, breed and sell seeds and maintain their diversity.
F.a: Regional Coordination and Capacity Building Programme The project’s intention is not only to supervise the region’s projects but also especially to strengthen local actors. The project supports South-Asia’s partners in, among other things, project and financial management. The support is carried out by,
 for example training. In addition, the project continuously monitors development projects working in the region, through reports and project visits. The projects goal is the improved quality of life among vulnerable groups and communities as a result of a
 strengthened partnership. The purpose is the increased networking of partners to work on development independently. The partners have been encouraged to search for other partner organisations, with whom knowledge may be exchanged or different kinds of pro
jects may be searched. The majority of partners have networked regionally. The projects beneficiaries are South-Asia’s partner organisations and churches.

FLC: Mexico Promoting migrants' human rights PYM: Meksiko Siirtolaisten ihmisoikeuksien edistäminen / Madre Tierra Mexico paikallisen yhteistyön määräraha The project promotes human rights among Central American migrants who travel through Mexico on their journey to the United States. The recourses are used to consolidate three houses for transmigrants. In these houses the migrants get to rest safely a few d
ays and receive information on their rights. 10 human rights promoters will be trained to help migrants with human rights issues and to sensitize the local population so that they can understand migrants better and avoid exploiting their vulnerable situati
on. Projektissa edistetään Meksikon kautta Yhdysvaltoihin pyrkivien pakolaisten ihmisoikeuksia. Määrärahoilla vahvistaan kolmen kauttakulkusiirtolaisille tarkoitetun talon toimintaa.  Näissä taloissa siirtolaiset viettävät muutaman päivän ja saavat 
turvallisen  yösijan ja tietoa oikeuksistaan. Projektissa koulutetaan kymmenen 10 ihmisoikeusavustajaa jotka auttavat siirtolaisia näiden ihmisoikeuksiin liittyvissä kysymyksissä ja ongelmissa ja työskentelevät myös paikallisväestön kanssa jotta n
ämä ymmärtäisivät paremmin kauttakulkusiirtolaisia eivätkä osallistuisi näiden hyväksikäyttöön.

F.a: Strengthening Indian Forest Communities' Struggles for Forest Commons "The project will continue and build upon the work of All India Forum of Forest Movements (AIFFM) that was supported by Siemenpuu during 2013—2014 (12046AAS + 13038AAS). The struggle for reclaiming and defending forest commons will be supported by center
ing on efforts to establish suitable commons governance institutions at the grassroots, and developing suitable political and organizational strategies at state, national and international levels. The main beneficiaries will be forest dwelling communities 
organized under various Gram Sabhas. The focus areas will be in the states of West Bengal, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Telangana, where the work will be done in association with AIFFM constituent groups and other local groups.The activities incl
ude holding at least three All-India level and five state/sub-national level meetings, formulating political/organizational strategy documents and disseminating them, generating campaign materials, visiting various Gram Sabhas to facilitate the work of the
 movements, and providing financial support and information/knowledge to local movements.The activities will largely focus on increasing the spread of community institutions with a more articulate political focus on commons at various levels. A strong supp
ort group will also be created at pan-Indian level. The project will also further strengthen AIFFM as a network of diverse forest movements.Bajkul Gram Bharati (BGB) was established by youth inpired by Gandhian ideology in 1990. BGB works in West Bengal wi
th e.g. rural women, land ownership, forest rights, as well as to defend the traditional village culture. BGB acts as a legal holder and financial coordinator in the project.All India Forum of Forest Movements (AIFFM) is a forum that implements the activit
ies in the project. AIFFM is an evolving network, which campaigns particularly for the rights of forest dependent communities at the local level in several states and at the national level. AIFFM is a member of the Global Forest Coalition (supported by Sie
menpuu) and is thus well linked with Siemenpuu’s Global Dialogue program."
