Bangladesh JR  - PLAN Nederland Violence in Rakhine State, Myanmar, which began on 25 August 2017, has driven more than 500,000 Rohingya across the border into Cox#s Bazar, Bangladesh. The new arrivals are concentrated in two upazilas in Cox#s Bazar: Ukhia and Teknaf. Pre-existing camps and settlements have expanded with the new influx and at the same time new spontaneous settlements are formed and are quickly growing. People are staying in the forests and roadside places with limited or no shelter. Also, new arrivals are being absorbed by host communities. The refugee influx is putting an enormous pressure on existing infrastructure, facilities and services both in the camps and settlements, and host community. The speed and scale of the refugee influx has resulted in a critical humanitarian emergency.
The key objective of the Bangladesh Joint Response is to provide life-saving basic assistance in settlements, camps and host communities, and to seek protection, dignity and safety of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. The project will focus on activities in the sectors where both needs as well as gaps in assistance are highest and where DRA member organizations can make a difference. These sectors are:WASH, Shelter/NFIs and Protection. A strong Protection focus is ensured in all activities. The WaSH activities aim to increase the access of people in need to sufficient safe water and basic sanitation, and sufficient access to essential hygiene items for personal hygiene needs. Under the Shelter/NFI sector, organisations will provide emergency shelter and NFIs to refugee households in makeshift, spontaneous and formal refugee settlements. Lastly, the Protection component focuses on enhanced access and improved quality response and prevention services for survivors of GBV, the provision of psycho-social support, enhanced access to support and specialized services for persons with specific needs, and community mobilisations and strengthened co-existence between host communities andrefugees.

ODI-Inclusive Festival Inclusive Festival
  ODI works with People with disabilities with emphasis on women and young people (without distinction of ethnicity, age, religion, gender, socio-economic status and marriage) in the regions of Maradi, Niamey, Tahoua and Tillabéri. This projectis starting from January 1st 2019 through December 31st 2020.
The project aims to fight self-stigmatization, stigma and discrimination by adopting an original approach. This innovative approach implies that in order to change behaviors, there is need to understand the foundations on which the phenomenon is based (stigma) and  to propose standards for remedy.
A study is initially proposed to better understand the three phenomena (self-stigmatization, stigma and discrimination) in their manifestations, their causes and to propose in the long run, ways of action to combat them. This approach makes it possible to put people with disability and the community in dialogue. It is about getting people with disabilities to express their experiences andto propose what they think is best for themselves. The approach proposes to create standards and new tools for assessing the degree of inclusion of people with disabilities.
A study is going to be conducted to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the inclusion of people withdisabilities. Then, valuing the potentials of people with disabilities through the realization of a touring festival in the four targeted regions coupled with an exhibition fair to honor the talent of people with disabilities as creators or and facilitators. Disabled professionals are going to present their articles. A fashion show of women and men with disabilities (musculoskeletal, PSM, non-sighted, albino) is going to highlight the event with articles designed by them or other fashion designers. Similarly, the ceremony is going to be performed by people with disabilities through speeches, drama and produced music.

Policy reform mining sector in Mexico Mexico is part of the 25% countries with the highest levels of inequality. The gap between the rich and the poor is so stark that the 10 richest persons in the country have the same wealth that the poorest half of the country (Dovali, Jaramillo, <(>&<)> Vázquez, 2018). The extreme concentration of wealth brings disproportionally benefits to economic elites. In 2018, Oxfam Mexico developed a research report showing how the political economy in the mining sector was closely related with the political capture of State institutions and how these in turn created policies designed to benefit mining companies. On the basis on the findings of the report, thisproject aims to formulate and advocate for a comprehensive policy reform towards the mining sector in Mexico. The policy proposals will ensure that the fiscal benefits of the mining operations are fairly distributed and benefit local communities where mining operation take place as well. The policy proposals will also create a set of regulations that minimize thepolitical conflict in the communities where mines are located, promote Government programs that redistributes the economic benefit of mining, and work towards reducing environmental impacts of the mining operations  on a local level.

Strengthening women's access to land Several studies have shown that Niger is one of the countries where poverty has a female face and one of the explanatory factors isthe difficulty of women to access land in a secure way. However, 50.6% of Niger's population is made up of women and girlsand is still the majority in rural areas. . In this environment, which contains more than 80% of the population, women are a real workforce for agriculture and livestock farming. They account for more than 80% of agricultural activities, from sowing to processing and marketing. They derive their income mainly from these agricultural activities and small businesses. As a result, they occupy an importantplace in all links in household food and nutrition security. Despite this numerical weight and their full involvement in agricultural activities, this layer uses only 6% of exploitable land and rarely owns it. The land issue is an important issue for rural women because land conditions their production activities.
In the department of Tanout, women are major producers of market garden products and okra. They exploit marginal lands (flooded or glacis) in the form of loans, pledges or leases. The land expropriations that occurred since 2008 in the communes of Bakin Birgi and Ouallalewa have considerably increased the difficulties of women's access to agricultural land already diminished by the continuous degradation linked to the effects of climate change. On the other hand, women are generally marginalized in sharing family land inheritance. They are used as labor that helps their family and / or their family in field work that they do not control harvests.
Many projects and programs in these areas have often faced situations where the women they support in agricultural activities find it difficult to find or keep sites for a long time. Indeed, women's access to these sites is usually done by loan, pledge or even donation. Most of these acquisitions are not secure; therefore subject to enormous difficulties in time.
The present project aims to carry out a broad advocacy so that the situation of women's access to land is improvedand secured in the communes of Bakin Birgi and Ouallaléwa. The innovation of this project lies in the proposal of a combination of actions led by women leaders focused on improving access to land and land tenure for the benefit of women in rural areas.
