ORGANISATION FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT This project will promote an enabling environment for Key, vulnerable and priority Populations to seek and utilise Health <(>&<)> other social service in their respective localities.
Using dialogues at community level, key, vulnerable and priority populationswillraise their voices about the issues that affect them and put to a task the duty bearers to find possible remedies that can be used to improve their livelihoods.
Enhanced capacity of Key, vulnerable and priority Populations to participate in development interventions, increased community awareness of the causes and effects of poor livelihoods among males and young men and   improved reception by health and other social service providers.
The project will enhance the institutional capacity of OCE toachieve project goals, objectives, and OCE’s mission.

The negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic has led to high incidences and prevalence of HIV/AIDS <(>&<)> poor livelihoods among these Key, vulnerable and priority populations in Lyantonde. While the HIV prevalence in Uganda has reducedto 5.5%, in Lyantonde district it has remained at 9.5% (Ministry of Health Population based HIV Impact Assessment report 2020) which is unacceptably high.  This fact, coupled with poverty, forces males and young men into risky sexual behaviours. They live in denial due to stigma and discrimination from the communities thus deny them their rights to access health and other social services. They do not have the required employable skills hence the project is intended to empowerthem with non-formal skills to help them earn incomes to improve their livelihoods thus reduced exposure to risky sexual and other behaviours.
The project will work for increased awareness of the available policies that promote inclusive access to Health<(>&<)> other social services for key, vulnerable and priority populations. It will also work towards improving their socio-economic capacity through skilling to have other alternative sources of incomes
South Africa: Domestic Workers Risin BACKGROUND
Even though the number of domestic workers continues to grow globally, it remains a generally invisible form of employment in many countries. Under-valued and exploited, poorly regulated domestic workers mostly endure poor economic and socialconditions.  South Africa is often cited  as one of the most unequal countries in the world with domestic workers at the lower end of the foodchain.
There are currently more than a million domestic workers in South Africa and although recognised as workers and covered by specific labour law, Sectoral Determination 7 for Domestic Workers, they remain one of the mostly poorly paid and disempowered sections of the workforce. A hard to organize sector, with weak organization exposes them to numerous vulnerabilities.
On 31 March 2012 MsBadanile Maria Mahlangu – worker, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter – died tragically, by drowning in her employer’s swimming pool. At the time of death, she had been working for the same employer for 22 years. Because domestic workers are not covered under the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA), Ms Mahlangu’s next of kin were not entitled to any benefits. Ms.Ms Pinky Mashiane, a representative of domestic workers, sought to pursue the matter and persevered tirelessly garnering support along the way.
In 2018 a campaign was formed as a means of creating awareness about the Mahlangu case and advocating for inclusion of domestic workers in the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA).
At that stage there was no coherent channelfor domestic workers to defend their rights across different trade unions and organizations. There appeared to be little public knowledge on the challenges experienced by domestic workers and their limited access to justice. There also appeared to be very limitedcapacity – including digital literacy skills – among domestic workers to effectively spearhead campaigns advocating for their rights.

PROPOSED INTERVENTIONS
The proposed interventions are aimed at strengthening the capability of domestic workers to self-organisein defence of their rights.  In addition to ensuring a skilled and empowered workforce, the interventions seek to create a digitally enabling environment for domestic workersas a direct challenge to the super-exploitative on-demand labour platforms.
Developmentalobjective:
A skilled and empowered workforce in the domestic work sector, based on dignified work
Medium to long-term: (1-2 years)
• On-demand labour platforms uphold and protect worker rights
• All employers of domestic workers uphold and protect worker rights
•Domestic workers are mobilised and organised to demand their worker rights

Project objective:
Capacitated domestic workers able toorganise digitally and build solidarity

Specific objectives:
1. co-ordinated communication and action
2. skilled worker leaders
3.improved organisation of domestic workers
4. increased voice of domestic workers

CEDOVIP Gender Based Violence Prevention This is a 5 Year project that will focus on building strong institutions to respond to Violence Against Women and Girls(VAWG). The project in the 5years will seek to challenge the negative attitudes and limited knowledge that perpetuate VAWG. It will seek to ensure that there is coordinated efforts towards violence prevention. Gender inequality and VAWG remain a challenge and yet the institutions like the health, police, judicial actors have limited capacity to handle VAWG issues. For instance, in Uganda, defilement casesare on the increase each year. Defilement cases rose from 14,973 in 2010 to 17,567 in 2016. Rapes cases shot up from 898 in 2010 to1,572 in 2016.While the 2013 Uganda Bureau of Statistics, reported that close to 70% of "ever-married women aged 15 to 49 had experienced some form of violence" at the hands of their partner. There is need to build capacity of the social support system and ensurethat that the referral pathway is working smoothly.  Equally important, there is need to work with the community to ensure a positive shift in knowledge and behaviour. Thus, the project will aim at: i) enhancing the capacity of relevant duty bearers on the existing policy and legislation on gender equality ii) improved knowledge and attitudes towards GBV iii) increased awareness and utilization of support structures that exist for GBV survivors
Thus, the project will build capacity of key institutions to address GBV issues and support survivors. The project will equally work with the community to raise awareness and deepen local activism to challenge violence where GBV is looked at as a form of injustice

CEDOVIP is building a movement to prevent violence against women and girls in Uganda. It will work with key institutions which are key in referral pathway to create a comprehensive prevention and response system in the Districts of Nebbi and Kabong working with their District partners to undertake community mobilisation and building localactivism against VAWG i.e Memprow and Aware Uganda respectively. Their work aims to create change in the attitudes, behavior, and practices that perpetuate Violence Against Women and Girls (VAW/G). Thus they will coordinate all VAWG activities and will ensure a functional skilled referral pathway on GBV

STAY IN SCHOOL INITIATIVE Under this project, the focus is on the Kukus (people of Kuku tribe) and the Banyara. The Kuku are a large ethnic group in the southern region of Sudan. They belong
to a cultural and linguistic group called the Eastern Nilotes. The history of Banyala istraced to the wars of Buganda against Bunyoro before 1900. They are a result of intermarriages between Banyoro and Baganda supported by the British Empire. The kuku and Banyara are agricultural people. They had no kingship. In the 2014 population census in Uganda the Kuku were (46497) and above 8300 in only Kayunga district. Basing on their way of life, life of these people is becoming hard because of the differences in socio-cultural practices, history and backgrounds, minorities have to grapple with theissue of identity, insecurity, discriminatory denial and this is the gist of this project. The minority community in a society may remain deprived of the benefit of opportunities of development as a result of discrimination. They cannot be employed, children go to poor schools, poor or less health services, no community engagement and inferiority complex among them, Because of the difference in identity, the minority community develops the perception of the sense of inequity. STAY IN SCHOOL INITIATIVE aims at fighting for the rights of ethnic minority groups with help of this proposed project which is aiming at providing sustainable vocational skills, Mentoring, Sensitizing, and empowering 20 youths from ethnic minority families in Busaana Town council.The project is aiming to directly benefit 20 youths wherethey will be skilled in hairdressing and tailoring activities for the period of one year. These beneficiaries will directly benefitin such a way of being employed, establishing their own businesses,gaining life skills and many others.

Conflict-orphaned children & youth In reference to a recent study by NAGAAD peace building in El Afwein district (Sanaag region), and other 6 villages under its administration, it was found that there were large number of conflict-orphaned children, who lost their parents during period ofthe inter-clan fighting, living in scattered areas throughout the district without proper care and education. Research also noted that un-educated, unemployed youth who had no access to any opportunities were a contributing factor to the conflicts in Sanaag region. Youth who lost a close relative to the conflict are more prone to participate in new rounds of conflicts for revenge. To our knowledge, there have not been any proper studies on these underlying conflict-contributing dynamics in Sanaag region.

 To address these two conflicts contributing factors, it became necessary for Nagaad Network to do study on inter-clan conflict/war impact on war orphaned children and youth to deeply understand their livelihood conditions and priority needs in regardto their education, employment, and specific to youth’s contribution in inter-clan conflicts particularly in retaliations and revenges that can cause large scale conflicts. The study will use to inform in designing our current and future programming to address those underlying causes and promote peace and security of the conflict affected areas (Sanaag region); improve livelihoods and skills development for war vulnerable children and youth; and enhance integration of conflict affected community.
ON Contribution to GHT CAT Fund Every year ON makes an annual contribution to the GHT CAT Fund project, which is a virtual OI pot to enable us to respond very quickly to emergencies without having to wait for funding from external donors. Since ON is an EA, ON’s contribution to the CAT Fund is always first used to provide for a CAT Fund contribution to the ON EA countries. This is easiest procedurally. Towards the end of the FY, any outstanding ON contribution to the CAT Fund which is not yet transferred to ON EA countries, is transferred to other partsof Oxfam who need to use the CAT Fund for emergency response.
HANDLE Strengthening Community Participation through Engagement (SCOPE) is what HANDLE seeks to use as a strategy to address incidences ofvulnerability caused by the effects of Covid – 19 such as trauma, and mental illness among women, and people living with disabilityin Nwoya District.  In this strategy, SCOPE will apply Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Groups (IPT-G) to give psychosocial support (treat) to women, and persons with different abilities that have been assessed and identified to be having depressive symptoms (or depression) as a result of different traumatic experiences triggered by factors such as covid-19, to regain their meaningful active participation in decision making and other community engagement activities.
In this innovation, the vulnerable persons are first screened for depression/trauma using standard tools, and those with low and moderate depression are put into groups of 8-12 members. A trained facilitator/promoter (village health team) will conduct meetings with the group(s) once or twice in a week for sessions for aperiod of 12 -15 weeks (3 months), in which the women open up on the causes of their depression and how they have been handling before solutions to the different problems are generated within the group, and this will be facilitated by a trained promoters (Villagehealth team). The group will ensure all information and discussions remain confidential and only for group consumption alone. Midterm and post IPT assessment is done to track progress in the treatment process. After 12 weeks, the groups are integrated into livelihoods economic activities through Village Saving and Loan Association for group sustainability as they continue sharing and interacting alongside performing economic activities.
As it is in most communities in Northern Uganda; women, children, youths and Persons living with disabilities are the most vulnerable groups and are at high risk of suffering from exploitation , abuse and/violence withvery limited or no involvement in community issues, whichlargely results in depression. World over, it has been noted that depression impairs functionality and leads to isolation of victims from actively participating in meaningful activities at different levels (Helena Verdeli et al). Depression, if not treated, may lead to mental meltdown and might result in attempts to terminate life or certainly death. According to Theodore D. Wachs et al, depressive orders are a common source of disability among women in addition to the economic and human costs of maternaldepression.

In most rural communities, many people are not aware of depression, its causes and the effects. This partly explains why such groups rarely or totally do not register their participation in community activities including but not limited todecision making processes.
Through this innovation, we want to see the mental ability of the vulnerable persons regained and their participation in productive activities strengthened, level of vulnerability amongst women of reproductiveage and people with disability reduced, and service delivery improved in Community.

AMA - ENVIRONMENT ASSOCIATION In Cabo Delgado, Oxfam partners with AMA -  a strong partner on human rights issues and conflict resolution related to Extractive Industries with strong community ties and expertise and trusted networks. AMA has solid relations with the government and inother local platforms such as the localities, administrative posts and districts in the provinces, consultative committees and focal points whom they train for the ongoing reporting of events and contextual information in real time. AMA is very public inits interventions.In Inhassaoro, Oxfam will furthermore work with the Platform of Extractive Industries of Inhassoro - a local partner with their feet on the ground and necessary contextual knowledge on situational developments in the area.
Given the strong reports on serious human rights violations that have been reported in identified locations and the dynamic conflict trends in places like Cabo Delgado, promoting civic human rights and applying safeguarding principles will be central to the action and the approaches taken, not least to not put community members and partners at risk. The action will be based on a participatory conflict analysis to map out key conflict trends and challenges in identified areas, and specific vulnerbailites and needswithin communities, and a conflict sensitivity lens will be applied throughout the action, where emerging risks and conflict trends will be closely monitored and tracked to allow forswift responses. Conflict mitigation and developing a continuous mutualdialogue that involves civil society, communities, the private sector and the Government is at the core of the action, so that information generated is shared, and environment of trust is established,  expectations aligned and agreement signed based on consensus. A particular focus of the action will be to work with community-based stakeholders, including women and youth, to strengthen and apply capacities for mediation and conflict resolution.
