Create Syria Create Syria is a collaboration between Ettijihat Independent Culture, the British Council and International Alert to enhance the expertise of artists and cultural activists  located outside of Syria and to empower them to realise their creative projects. The project aims to prevent the drop in artistic production and to provide opportunities for the new generation so that they will be able to develop expertise and links to the preceding generation.  It will also strengthen the value of art as a means to combat the challenges of the prevailing Syrian situation in light of the refugee crisis and the growing frustration it brings. The project will allow artists to collaborate with their peers in the countries in which they live and combat the frustrations that refugees face, including stereotyping, thus supporting resilience of refugee communities.

In light of the political, economic, and cultural changes that Syria is witnessing, the project seeks to create a long-term support network for Syrian artistic production that strengthens contemporary art practices targeting refugees and communities in crisis. It addresses local audiences in the host countries to which artists and new cultural initiatives have moved. The project specific objectives and expected results are:

SO 1: Build the artistic capacity and connectivity of up to 15 established and emerging Syrian artists and CSOs working for social change and peace

SO 2: Engage artists and local refugee and host communities in up to 10  dialogues around relevant social issues through art based practices and creative expression 

SO 3: Facilitate up to 10 new voices and unheard perspectives of the conflict in reaching international community (donors, UN and iNGOs) through a learning and dialogue event

SO 4: Raise the understanding of the value of art and culture in times of crisis in Syria and the region. A call for artists will be designed and launched. Following this, a selection of 15 new generation artists (young non-elite) and 5 established artists (to mentor artists on their artistic practice and advise on community projects). 
The project will also link diaspora activists and artists within communities, via social media.

Creating Spaces for Peace - Phase four: Supporting local peacebuilding and local citizen-state relations Building on the achievements of the previous three phases thus far, and as well as context analyses, scenario-planning meetings and discussion sessions that the Alert Lebanon Team has been conducting to capture implications of the above-mentioned contextual developments on peacebuilding work in Lebanon, the fourth phase will mainly focus on supporting citizen relations (horizontal linkages) and peacebuilding prospects, and on improving citizen-state relations (vertical linkages) at the local level. The fourth phase will also consolidate and disseminate learning on local peacebuilding and conflict sensitivity and capitalize on this process for influencing and local advocacy. This phase sees a stronger focus on real time context monitoring and analysis to share with partners given the evolving dynamics and seeks to leverage the HSDâ€™s expertise, networks and partnerships to enhance peacebuilding impact and contribute to the Communities of Practice related to peacebuilding in Lebanon. 

The approach for phase 4 involves: 1) regular stakeholder engagement, context analysis and monitoring; 2) convening and expanding spaces for dialogue, both horizontal (inter- and intra-community) and vertical (citizen-local government relations) through action; 3) capacity development and accompaniment of municipalities and grassroots groups for inclusive, multi-stakeholder networking, engagement and dialogue, collaborative/joint action and conflict sensitivity; 4) technical advice and support, advocacy, exchange and learning on peacebuilding and conflict sensitivity; 5) capitalisation and sustainability planning.

The proposed set of activities in this phase is for a project lasting 15 months from October 2020 to December 2021. SO 1: To strengthen and sustain local/grassroot capacity for conflict mediation and networking developed through the â€˜Creating Space for Peaceâ€™ dialogue mechanism and local advocacy process. 
SO 2: To strengthen and sustain local authoritiesâ€™ (municipalities) capacity for conflict sensitive service provision and improve citizen-local authority relations through community engagement.
SO 3: To enhance learning and influencing for peacebuilding and conflict sensitivity through tailored support, collecting and testing evidence for approaches and disseminating lessons learned. Youth groups in Bekaa and Tripoli and two municipalities in Bekaa. No implementing partners.

Preparing the Seeds of Peace in Myanmar Alert’s proposed activities will improve women’s empowerment, indigenous access to forest resources and improve conservation outcomes by mobilising customary practices for environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods. This comes at a crucial time, with the recently re-elected government convening in early 2021 to set priorities and workplans for the peace process and policy objectives for their next parliament. We will begin re-engaging with key stakeholders in Myanmar and to lobby for buy-in from government actors and civil society partners. This also requires updating respective conflict analyses to deepen understanding of key issues to be addressed and possible engagement strategies. The objective is to refresh Alert’s hibernating networks at the national and provincial level, update the analysis of the context dynamics and trends and identify the specific opportunities to promote more inclusive and peace supportive environmental practices in the new parliamentary period and hence contribute to improved conditions for the peace process in Myanmar to succeed. Forestry communities and marginalised stakeholders such as indigenous communities, particularly women and youth #N/A

Roadmap for Negotiations on Security Sector Transformation The project aims to support the UN-led political process in Syria by aiding negotiators to develop and implement a strategy for addressing security sector transformation. The project will focus on two tracks in parallel: a national-level track that will focus on the Constitutional Committee, and a sub-national track exploring options for security sector transformation at the local level and feeding those ideas back into the Track I process. Results Output 1: Civil society and opposition representatives from the Constitutional Committee develop a roadmap for moving forward on security sector transformation issues at the Track I level that supports possible requirements in the Constitutional Committee and longer-term discussions on SSR.

Result Output 2: Communities in northeast Syria produce a civil society-led, locally informed vision for security provision at the provincial/regional level that enhances existing provisions going forward and better informs discussions on SST at the Track I level. Conflict Mediation Consulting

Living with Dignity: Preventing Violence Against Women and Girls in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Year 1. The literature suggests that young women in Central Asia face high risks of experiencing violence, including sexual and gender-based violence. In contexts of economic and financial insecurity, as well as high levels of social tension or violent conflict, these risks increase. In Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, SGBV is rooted in traditional, patriarchal, generational, and gerontocratic gender norms. This project has been designed in response to these realities and is based on consultation with donors and co-designed with local partners and stakeholders in SGBV prevention in both Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The project will use the Living With Dignity (LwD) methodology, an evidence-based, family-level intervention which looks to address harmful gender norms and reduce SGBV through behavioural change and family economic empowerment, which has been successfully implemented in Tajikistan, Nepal, and Myanmar, and has applicability to the context in Kyrgyzstan. It has a proven record of lowering incidence of SGBV, transforming prohibitive patriarchal norms, improving family economies and women’s savings and decision making, and contributing to more cohesive communities. This project will, for the first time, adapt the methodology to urban areas, and help to facilitate national civil society movements on SGBV prevention, in collaboration with ongoing initiatives (such as UN FPA’s work with religious communities and the Spotlight Initiative) and contribute to processes dedicated towards making SGBV prevention policy more effective. Goal: SGBV has been reduced and a stronger evidence base for advocacy and policy making at the national and local level created in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, increasing potential for cohesive societies Outcome 1: Improved gender attitudes knowledge, and behaviour among beneficiary families (including male and female family members) has reduced acceptability and perpetration of SGBV Outcome 2: Beneficiary women and girls have been empowered to contribute to family decision making, household finance, and wellbeing through equal participation in family-run enterprises in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan Outcome 3: Awareness and advocacy on SGBV response/referral, and prevention has improved based on evidence, from coalescing of civil society movements on SGBV prevention, government policy design/implementation, to public rejection of SGBV Direct beneficiaries Vulnerable families, particularly young women; young women with disabilities; young women with children with disabilities, as they are at most risk of violence. We will target 8 villages/settlements across the two countries: 2 in Kemin district, 2 areas in Osh outskirts (Kyrgyzstan); 2 in Ishkashim district, 2 areas of Dushanbe outskirts (Tajikistan), covering 120 families (approx. 480 individuals). Indirect beneficiaries 8 communities in the target districts CSOs and specialists working on preventing SGBV Local authorities & policy makers (and other implementers of gender programmes, both local and national) Citizens across Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan
Prevention de la propagation de la maladie a virus Ebola dans les territoires de Rutshuru, Masisi et Nyiragongo La maladie MVE continue Ã  faire des victimes dans la partie Nord de la province du Nord Kivu, au 18 juin 2019, 2190 cas de MVE au total, dont 2096 confirmÃ©s et 94 probables, avaient Ã©tÃ© notifiÃ©s. Au total, 1470 dÃ©cÃ¨s, dont 1376 parmi les cas confirmÃ©s, ont Ã©tÃ© signalÃ©s (taux de lÃ©talitÃ© global : 67 %). Parmi les 2190 cas confirmÃ©s ou probables pour lesquels on connaissait lâ€™Ã¢ge et le sexe, 57 % (1242) Ã©taient des femmes et 29 % (639) des enfants de moins de 18 ans. Le nombre de cas parmi les agents de santÃ© continue Ã  augmenter et il sâ€™Ã©tablit dÃ©sormais Ã  122 (6 % du nombre total de cas) . Face Ã  cette problÃ©matique, cette situation est loin dâ€™Ãªtre rÃ©solue Ã  la suite de la rÃ©sistance manifeste de la population face aux Ã©quipes de riposte, aux mouvements des populations fouillant lâ€™insÃ©curitÃ©, la circulation massives des populations pour des raisons socio-Ã©conomiques dans la province du Nord Kivu risque de voir la MVE sâ€™Ã©tendre dans dâ€™autres zones non encore touchÃ©es dont le territoire de Rutshuru, de Nyiragongo et de Maisisi entant donnÃ© que des cas confirmÃ©s ont Ã©tÃ© signalÃ©s en Ouganda en provenance de la RDC. Ce projet sâ€™inscrit dans la logique de prÃ©parer progressivement les structures locales de bases avec lesquelles Alert travaillent pour quâ€™elle sont en mesure dâ€™identifier ce risque potentiel Ã  travers les analyses de contexte et de risque dans leurs communautÃ©s afin dâ€™envisager la sensibilisation dans leurs communautÃ©s respectives pour barre aux attitudes de rÃ©sistance Ã  la riposte si jamais les zones ciblÃ©es sont touchÃ©es par lâ€™Ã©pidÃ©mie. ?

Zindagii Shoista - Living with Dignity â€“ scaling up a model on reducing violence against women and girls in  Tajikistan Through the proposed project we aim to scale up our evidence/results-based approach and contribute to improving prevention of violence against women and girls in rural Tajikistan. This is envisaged to be done through changes in knowledge, attitudes and practices at the family level and should achieve the following results: 
â€¢	Enhanced gender attitudes and family dynamics, including relations between couples and in-laws of target families
â€¢	Decreased experiences and perpetration of violence 
â€¢	Improved physical and mental health
â€¢	Improved livelihoods and financial situations in target families 

Our strategy involves social empowerment with the aim to encourage reflection on values and attitudes towards gender and relationships within the family, sharpen communication skills, raise awareness of VAWG, and build knowledge on health issues. This is combined with economic empowerment activities to build an understanding of womenâ€™s contribution to household economics; strengthen financial management skills in households through a better understanding of budgeting, spending and saving; boost household economies by assisting families in developing their own income-generating activities (IGAs). By scaling up our evidence/results-based approach we will contribute to the prevention of VAWG in rural Tajikistan. This will be achieved though changes in knowledge, attitudes and practices at the family level. Based on our previous experience, we expect to achieve the following results: 
â€¢	Enhanced gender attitudes and family dynamics, including relations between couples and in-laws of target families
â€¢	Decreased experiences and perpetration of violence 
â€¢	Improved physical and mental health
â€¢	Improved livelihoods and financial situations in target families

We will contribute to our growing body of evidence and lessons on how best to tackle violence experienced by women and girls in the country We will share results widely, including with relevant government authorities to improve understanding of how to prevent VAWG, and positively transform Tajik society into one in which women and girls, particularly vulnerable ones, are treated equally.
