Frame agreement with NGO (Siemenpuu) The project strengthens the governance of two indigenous Miskito territories (Watiasta and Lainasta) in the Honduran Mosquitia by constructing natural resource management protocols rooted in the communities? cosmovision. The Honduran government is committe
d to granting collective land titles to the 12 Miskito territorial councils. Owing to decades of delay in titling the lands, the area has been invaded by aggressive intruders, who deforest for cattle ranching and sell the lands to new intruders. The projec
t continues MASTA?s work in favour of materializing the collective rights of the Miskito and autonomous governance of their territories. The natural resource management protocols provide an essential tool for defining how the lands titled by the government
 to the Miskito are governed. The processes to be implemented in Watiasta and Lainasta follow a similar process already implemented within another territory. MASTA is a community rooted Miskito organisation founded in 1976 and registered in 1987. It aims t
o i) strengthen the autonomy of Mosquitia and the indigenous territorial governance, ii) advocate towards the national decision-makers to guarantee the historical rights of the indigenous peoples and the application of international treaties on indigenous 
peoples' rights, as well as iii) defend the legal recognition of Miskitos' collective rights to govern their land, territories and natural resources. Through active advocacy in the past few years, MASTA has succeeded in legalising the territories of seven 
regional Miskito councils (in total 772 000 hectares) and all the 12 councils have gained legal status. Miskitos have developed their own consultation protocol (Protocolo Biocultural Miskito), which is applied in organising a consultation when an outside a
ctor wishes to implement an initiative in Mosquitia. Furthermore, functioning of the regional councils has been strengthened, guidelines for natural resource use have been established for one region, and the participation of women in MASTA's decision-makin
g has been strengthened.

Building Capacity for HIV Work in Africa United Bible Societies HIV work in Africa is done under the Good Samaritan Program. Currently it is implemented in over 20 Sub-Saharan African countries. The overall objective of the GSP is set to contribute to the reduction of spread of HIV and stigma of 
people infected and affected. The main focus is to reduce stigmatizations and discrimination of PLHAOne special strenght of the GSP is value based materials which target churches and congregations. Thus the project has been approved by many churches which 
have been so far ignorant to secular approaches. GSP is a value based program and obviously such ones are still scarcity but very much needed for certain audiencesThe UBS HIV Service is the link between the funding agencies and the implementing Bible Socie
ties in Africa. It coordinates activities of all participating Bible Societies building synergy among them so that together their results have a significant impact on the continentThe methodological approach of the program is awareness creation through ope
n discussions and sharing using Information Education and Communication (IEC) tools to encourage conscious decisions and responsible behaviour. The presentations use sketches facts and case studies combined with interactive drama and stories from the Holy 
Scriptures. The aim is not to present the solution but to empower the participants to better tackle the challenge of HIV and AIDS both in their churches and in society as a whole. The program consciously builds on the traditional African oral culture. The 
African identity is still rooted in a mixture of facts songs myths and legends. The program is built on a multimedia package called ?Where is the Good Samaritan Today??. It includes e.g. films booklets flipcharts and trainer's manuals. They are translated 
into local languagesGSP target on youth and adults and most of the training is carried by volunteers of the local communities. Country projects are implemented within existing structures. In each project country the national Bible Society is responsible fo
r the implementationHIV Service is currenlty funded by governmental development funds (MFA and DigniNorway) and by National Bible Societies in Finland Sweden Norway Denmark and UK. Specifially this project with MFA funding aims to build capacity in gender 
mainstreaming develop more IEC tools consolidate and enhance the capacity for regional work and continue foster sustainability of the country projects

Innovation Partnership Programme (IPP) Phase II In 2010 Vietnam gained a lower middle-income country status due to rapid economic growth and by 2020 Vietnam ambitiously aspires to become a modern industrialized country. To achieve this goal it is critical for Vietnam to develop a functioning national in
novation system. In addition innovations are central to the creation of new employment and improving competitiveness of the country.At present Vietnam?s national innovation system includes basically all the elements necessary for the development of innovat
ions: businesses universities research institutes and public sector actors. Also a legislative framework is in order. Innovation system is however inoperative. The reasons for this are the lack of cooperation between different actors weak institutional cap
acity and the lack of funding for innovations.To improve the situation Finland supports Vietnam in developing its national innovation system with the Innovation Partnership Programme (IPP). Launched in 2009 IPP is the first development programme between th
e Government of Finland and the Government of Vietnam in the science and technology sector. It answers well to the challenges Vietnam faces now as a lower middle-income country. As a result of its economic and social development as well as its public and p
rivate sector competence Finland can afford a significant added value for Vietnam in developing knowledge based society. IPP has also in an important role in achieving a goal set in the Finland?s Development Policy Programme 2012: traditional grant-based b
ilateral development cooperation with Vietnam will decrease and give way to more comprehensive partnerships between the two countries.Planned to span for five years (2013?2018) IPP II builds on the foundation laid during the first phase of the programme. I
PP II endeavours to create an ?innovation ecosystem? that strengthens the expertise and competence of all multi helix stakeholders as well as the awareness of stakeholders about each others? roles. The goal is to develop an approach that multiplies the num
ber of innovative products and services thus creating added value and employment. IPP II has three result areas: 1) strengthened institutional capacity of multi-helix stakeholders 2) increased number of the partnerships between the stakeholders and 3) inno
vative products and services created. As IPP I the phase II of the programme is implemented by Vietnam?s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST).

LVD - Agricultural Support Centers for Women Agricultural Service Centers is a 24-months long intervention to improve the socio-economic well-being of women in the rural Egyptian Governorate of el-Minya. The action is built upon a tried and tested model first initiated by the UN Food and Agriculture 
Organization in 1989 under the title of ?Farmer Field Schools? and is in favor of empowering local communities through group-based experiential learning processes that enable participants to make their own locally specific decisions about farm management p
ractices. Not only is the outcome ecologically beneficial it also encourages self-development among participants who begin to appreciate the autonomy accorded to them through empowerment. Our Agricultural Service Center thus goes beyond the mere provision 
of on-farm training and advisory services to include within their purview the delivery of basic literacy numeracy and life skills trainings to endow women with the necessary competencies for success in life. Finally an outreach and advocacy effort will run
 concurrent to the economic empowerment and personal development track to encourage open-minded members of the community to take a more proactive stance to dismantling the obstacles standing between impoverished women and prosperity. The duration of the pr
oject work plan is 24 months. The project is in progress.  It has been approved and is partially funded by the European Aid.  The cooperation of the Finnish embassy is sought for the 2nd year which is starting May 2014 till April 2015.
