EcoPeace Core Support 2022-2026 - EcoPeace Core Support 2022-2026 OLD EcoPeace Kärnstöd 2022-2026 The EcoPeace Core support 2022-2026 is a 3,5-year support to EcoPeace to implement their 5year strategy 2022-2026. The programme has a budget of 75 M SEK and will support EcoPeace strategy objectives which are to: 
i)	To advance Middle East climate resilience and security through regional cooperation and integration; and
ii)	 To advance a just peace between our peoples and between people and nature, through environmental cooperation
EcoPeace Middle East (EcoPeace) is a regional environmental/climate and peacebuilding non-governmental organization with offices in Amman, Ramallah and Tel Aviv that strives to bring together Jordanians, Palestinians, and Israelis to promote environmental sustainability and climate resilience and create common solutions for environmental/climate sustainability in the Middle East by closely working together.
Through this support EcoPeace will carry work on spreading knowledge, create commitment and drive different types of change processes and development initiatives, including supporting the initiation of concrete environmental projects, often with a focus on water with a major focus on the Jordan Valley and the Jordan River, but also development of, for example, renewable energy. The organization works with a wide range of stakeholder groups including, children and young people, decision makers at different levels and collaborates with other organizations and the private sector to achieve its goals. The strategy also includes a strong focus on organizational development of their own organization to build organizational resilience and strengthen their professionality by improving both systems routines and capacity both at managing and staff level, aiming to become ‘the best place to work’.
EcoPeace core support aims on the implementation of ten focused objectives, representing measurable and achievable outcomes that the organization will work to achieve. 
Five of the objectives involve externally focused outcomes, four on outcomes related internal capacity development and one targeting both internal and external outcomes. The externally focused objectives are categorized either as top-down or bottom-up depending on which stakeholder groups the activities under the objectives are targeting. Bottom-up activities are targeting constituencies, particularly children and young people, and top-down activities are targeting decision makers and other key stakeholders.
Externally focused objectives
- Riper conditions for peace (Bottom-up/top-down) 
- Increased climate resilience, climate security, and respect for the environment (Top-down/bottom-up) 
- More climate/environmental deals in the region (bilateral & multilateral) (Top-down/bottom-up) 
- Increased movement up “ladders of engagement” (Bottom-up/top-down) 
- EcoPeace continually builds the credibility needed to advance its objectives 
 Externally/internally focused objectives
- EcoPeace has tighter, more consistent messaging, with more (trained) messengers 
Internally focused objectives
- People consider EcoPeace a “Best place to work” 
- Programs remain innovative & define "best practices" 
- EcoPeace’ s finances, including fundraising, are sustainable and mitigate risk 
- EcoPeace has a continually smaller ecological footprint. EcoPeace kärnstöd 2022–2026 är ett 3,5-årigt stöd till EcoPeace för att genomföra deras 5-åriga strategi 2022–2026. Kärnstödet har en budget på 75 miljoner SEK och kommer att stödja EcoPeace strategimål som är att:
i) Att främja motståndskraft mot klimatförändringar och säkerhet i Mellanöstern genom regionalt samarbete och integration; och
ii) Att främja en rättvis fred mellan folk och mellan människor och natur, genom miljösamarbete
EcoPeace Mellanöstern (EcoPeace) är en regional miljö-/klimat- och fredsbyggande icke-statlig organisation med kontor i Amman, Ramallah och Tel Aviv som strävar efter att sammanföra jordanier, palestinier och israeler för att främja miljömässig hållbarhet och motståndskraft mot klimatförändringar samt att skapa gemensamma lösningar för hållbar miljö-/klimat i mellanöstern genom ett nära samarbete.
Genom detta stöd kommer EcoPeace att arbete med att sprida kunskap, skapa engagemang och driva olika typer av förändringsprocesser och utvecklingsinitiativ, inklusive stödja initiering av konkreta miljöprojekt, ofta med fokus på vatten företrädesvis Jordandalen och Jordanfloden, men också utveckling av exempelvis lösningar för förnybar energi. Organisationen arbetar med ett brett spektrum av intressentgrupper inklusive barn och unga, beslutsfattare på olika nivåer och samarbetar med andra organisationer och den privata sektorn för att nå sina mål. Strategin innehåller också ett starkt fokus på organisationsutveckling av den egna organisationen för att bygga organisatorisk motståndskraft och stärka deras professionalitet genom att förbättra både systemrutiner och kapacitet både på lednings- och personalnivå, med sikte på att bli "den bästa arbetsplatsen".
EcoPeace kärnstöd syftar till att implementera tio fokuserade mål, som representerar mätbara och uppnåeliga resultat som organisationen kommer att arbeta för att uppnå.

Fem av målen inriktas på externt fokuserad resultat, fyra inriktade på intern kompetens och kapacitetsutveckling, som stödjer både interna och externa mål. De externt fokuserade målen kategoriseras antingen som uppifrån och ner (’top-down’) eller nerifrån och upp (’bottom-up’) beroende på vilka intressentgrupper verksamhet- och mål riktar sig till. Nedifrån-och-upp-aktiviteter riktar sig till särskilt barn och ungdomar, och top-down-aktiviteter riktar sig till beslutsfattare och andra viktiga intressenter.
Externt fokuserade mål
- Mognare förhållanden för fred; (bottom-up/top-down)
- Ökad klimattålighet, klimatsäkerhet och respekt för miljön (Top-down/bottom-up)
- Fler klimat-/miljöavtal i regionen (bilaterala och multilaterala) (top-down/bottom-up)
- Ökad rörelse uppför "insats-stegar" (bottom-up/top-down)
- EcoPeace bygger ständigt den trovärdighet som behövs för att främja sina mål
 Externt/internt fokuserade mål
– EcoPeace har tydligare och mer konsekventa informationsbudskap, med fler (utbildade) budbärare;
Internt fokuserade mål
- EcoPeace är en "bästa arbetsplatsen";
- Program förblir innovativa och bidrar till "bästa metodutveckling";
- EcoPeace ekonomi, inklusive insamling, är hållbar och minskar risken;
– EcoPeace har ett ständigt mindre ekologiskt fotavtryck. The vision of EcoPeaces strategy is that "the people of the Middle East benefit from mutually reinforcing climate security and regional peace", which is defined as the reality that EcoPeace is trying to create or contribute towards.

The mission is "to advance mutually reinforcing climate resilience and regional peace between our people and between people and regional environmental cooperation"

The vision and mission are manifested through two main goals defining EcoPeace's role in moving towards that vision, namely:

i) To advance Middle East climate resilience and security through regional cooperation and integration; and: ii) To advance a just peace between our peoples and between people and nature, through environmental cooperation.

Finally, the 5YS has ten focused objectives, representing measurable and achievable outcomes that the organization will work to achieve. Five of the objectives involve externally focused outcomes, four on outcomes related internal capacity development and one targeting both internal and external outcomes. The externally focused objectives are categorised either as top-down or bottom-up depending on which stakeholder groups the activities under the objectives are targeting. Bottom-up activities are targeting constituencies, particularly children and young people, and top-down activities are targeting decision makers and other key stakeholders.
