Continuation  OF Ignite Career Hub Since establishment, the University of Hargeisa has trained 900 youth on employability, entrepreneurship, and career coaching and connected them to markets for job or internship placement. Indeed, UOH exceeded the expectations set at the beginning. However, the Work in Progress project was designed to support the center in its first three years (2020–2022), both financially and operationally,through yearly MoUs between Oxfam and the University of Hargeisa. The center has meaningfully contributed to young people’s employment and livelihood improvements. The center matches the ambitions and career goals of young people with the needs and opportunities in the labour market.

The need to continue supporting this center has become apparent, and recent meetings between the University of Hargeisa and Oxfam Management, led by the CD, agreed to extend the support for 2023 and possibly 2024. Based on the previous learnings, the center will advance its service to youth by supporting motivated young people who lack access to decent work and opportunities through skills training, on-the-job-support, and career coaching. The primary goal of core skills training in the coming years will be to help young people gain a better understanding of their own skills and interests so that they can make an informed decision about whether to pursue a career as an entrepreneur or seek employment. Ultimately, to offer support to gain employment through internships and decent job placement. The training will encompass two main parts, as explained below.

• Employability: The employability will teach participants the relevant soft and hard skills that bridge the gap between their education and the needs of employers. After the training phase, young people transition to an internship or job placement phase that provides them with relevant work experience and helps them develop their professional network. During this track they will get access to one-on-one mentoring and coaching.

• Entrepreneurship: The entrepreneurship will focus more on the development of a business idea in line with the participant’s aspirations and skills. The business ideas with the biggest potential will linked to financial institutions for financing to make their ideas become a reality.

The following results are expected in the (2023).

• Train and coach 100 youth (50% female) on core life skills and entrepreneurship
• Place 100 youth (50% female) into internship and decent jobs
• Design and pilot ways of sustaining the center operations beyond Oxfam support. Sustainability strategy is expected in early 2024.
CO-CSB and FFS in Uganda This project plans to refurbish and improve one or multiple community seed banks in or near  the SD=HS project sites in Uganda withthe active participation and ownership of community members. It is planned that the community seed banks will form the centre around which the activities around seed in the community will revolve including farmer field schools and adequate land for purposes of establishing demonstration plots for farmer learnings. Adequate land will also be reserved for characterization of the germplasm in the seed bank and for crop development and seed multiplication. The community seed bank will focus on all the crops that contribute tohousehold food and nutrition security, ensuring that neglected and underutilized species (NUS) that contribute to nutrition and which are important during the hunger period are given special attention. To achieve this, the main planned activities in addition to refurbishment of seed bank(s) include focus group discussions within the community, establishmentof (women led) Farmer Field Schools,food processing and preparation training sessions for NUS etc.
IMGLAD - Advocate Pride in Mindanao The previous project generally placed a premium on consolidation by strengthening the knowledge and organizational capacity of IMGLAD chapters, identifying community issues and building a working agenda about these issues, and establishing connections toLGBTQIA+ organizations and partners to ensure that our initiatives will not be in silos from collective LGBTQIA+ actions. The change witnessed initially resided in the idea of having an augmented knowledge and space to voice out issues, exhaust one’s talent and capacities,and respond to the prideful call for leadership. But further advocacy skills are needed to push the advocacy and ensure that we arenot only members but advocates of the LGBTQIA+ community. Hence, armed with the necessary advocacy skills, the “IMGLAD to Advocate Pride in Mindanao” is an initiative that turns IMGLAD Chapters, not as mere vessels but a community of practice where advocates and allies can contribute to widening the political space
for the LGBTQIA+ collective action. Situated in considerably grassroots, remote, and invisible spaces, the skills gained from this
initiative are hoped to spark change as exemplified by advocates and allies proactively voicing out their issues within and beyond their immediate organization, feeding issues to the partners that gained from the previous project, and generally adding texture to our collective narrative. This project also hopes to witness change at the individual level, either as an LGBTQIA+ person or ally, to see him/her/they not only as a member or friend of an immediate organization but as part of a larger rainbow coalition and community of advocates working for the SOGIESC equality. It also hopes to witness change within the organization seen not only as a vessel of dormant issues and assemblage of functions and positions but as an active collective agent that feeds and interjects its agenda to the larger coalition of gender and human rights defenders where it is a part. And, albeit no direct change to the immediate, the output(improved knowledge, enhanced capacity, stronger allies, etc.) will form a crucial part of the brewing calls for LGBTQIA+ enabling policies and ordinances in the areas we work with.

CO-Climate Justice AACJ Nigeria The AACJ consortium in Nigeria will work with local organizations on outreach and build alliances between organizations of women, youth and (climate/oil)- affected rural communities to jointly run campaigns and advocate for community-driven solutions. Climate-just narratives will raise awareness on climate change and bring in more constituencies such as youth, journalists, local policy makers(Pathway 2). A network of nano-influencers in communities, media content creators, journalists, artists and social media influencers will mobilize support for a just energy transition and realization of NDC commitments. Plans include a #ClimateJusticeTour and an art-based campaign to showcase local narratives around climate justice, highlighting the leadership of women and young people.To increase public accountability the consortium will establish formal platforms that enable government. The consortium will also invest in working with oil-affected communities to increase their knowledge and understanding of their rights and how to claim them, for example through FPIC. The consortium will directly support environmental defenders, strengthening their security and protection capabilities officials to listen to and engage with citizens on policy issues. For example, Climate Governance Dialogues will involve local, national and state executives, legislature, local communities and excluded groups in knowledge transfer with government agencies on e.g. access to cleaner, decentralized and community-controlled energy, improved climate finance and budgeting, environmental impact assessments, climate finance, adaptation plans and reporting.
To increase support for community-driven climate action, the consortium will initiate national-level forums (inviting legislators at national and subnational levels, state, civil society and private sector actors), events and media engagements to showcase workable innovations that boost climate resilience and information sharing in communities.

HO-503001 This project aims to enable Syrian refugee and host community women in Turkey to fully participate in economic life, in a way that enhances their as well as their families# and their communities# socio-economic prospects. Specifically, it aims to do thisby increasing the number of refugee and host community women who are active in economic life through connecting them to employment and self-employment, and increasing women#s access to and control over resources, and their say over the decisions that affect their lives. Recognising the specific constraints faced by refugee and low-income host community women when it comes to their economic participation # including the burden of unpaid care work # this project uses a holistic approach that responds to theunderlying complex and multi-faceted issues they face. This is based on a recognition of the fact that improving women#s economic participation is only possible if it is accompanied by an integrated package of supporting measures that facilitate the development of their collective leadership and collaborative association, as well as enhancing their access to supportive services. As such, supporting women to address their social and economic exclusion in an integrated way is a prerequisite to active economic participation.
Support to Vulnerable Farmers,Fisherfolk The project aims to protect and recover affected livelihood through the provision of cash, inputs, services, and the rehabilitationof damaged productive assets. The project is aligned with Oxfam’s community-based protection approach  which will be manifested through in-depth gendered protection analysis of the targeted livelihood groups and capacity building of community-based women’s groupsusing the women's rights transformative leadership framework . Oxfam believes in the inherent resilience capacities at the level ofcommunities tested along the decades of the prolonged protracted crisis.

Cash and Livelihoods Support_IWAA The Informal Worker Advancement Association (IWAA) brings together local associations of home-based, own-account workers, includingrice and vegetable farmers, handicrafts producers, and food processers selling in public spaces. IWAA was involved in the pilot phase of this project. They will continue working on cash transfer and in-kind distribution in Vientiane Capital and Vientiane Province. IWAA also has extensive knowledge of village saving funds, and on women and grassroots leadership empowerment which they will share with the other project partners. They will also bring the programme results and impacts to dialogue platforms at national and regional level, such as HomeNet Southeast Asia, of which they are members.

The two associations have decided to collaborate on developing common objectives, in particular those that support a world based on relationships of solidarity and greater justice. The two associations agree that respect for Human Rights, including the Rights of Women and Children, forms part of their commitment, as well as respect for Social and Economic Rights for everyone. The Action that is subject to the present agreement is a contribution towardsthese objectives but it cannot be considered as the sole link that unites the three associations.

The partner  IWAA  and Oxfam-in-Laos undertake to build a relationship that reinforces each party’s work and skills, while developing each organisation’s respectivestrategies.

By way of an example, IWAA  is interested in taking part in activities that heighten awareness among the Laos public, by sending personnel and/or equipment in relation to the issue concerned by the Action. IWAA  would also like to take part in the discussions held by the Oxfam-in-Laos on strategic reflections connected with the action.

Oxfam undertakes to share information that may be useful for the missions of IWAA  and to assist IWAA  using methodological tools and supports.

DEC-OSAID PROJECT (DEC)Strength active citizen and system, in more broadly, this action contributes to SDG 1 and 2 in Nigeria (to end poverty in all its forms everywhere and end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture). Italigns with the EU joint cooperation strategy in Nigeria that targets poverty alleviation, improved capacity of state and local governments to deliver quality of services and better coherence and coordination between the three tiers of governmentin respect of poverty alleviation programmes.  This action is part of what EU calls the Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FSSA) thematic instrument under the Global Public Goods and Challenges Programme (GPGC) and it contributes to the policy commitment through the component Supporting the poor and food insecure to react to crises and strengthen resilience#. That component addresses in particular food insecurity in countries in post-crisis situations and will support vulnerable populations to become moreresilient, thereby linking Relief Rehabilitation and Development. The global objective of OSAID is to enhance resilience to food shocks, chronic and acute food insecure people in post-food crisis by improving adaptation to climate change, combating desertification, promoting nutrition sensitive activities and policies and encouraging sustainable and resilient small scale agricultural practices. Finally, this action specifically aligns with the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) that recognizes the need for resilience development in smallholder farming and the National Agricultural Resilience Framework (NARF) on climate change. The NARF has articulated short and long- term strategiesto reduce food and nutrition vulnerability whilst enhancing environmental resilience and made provisions to:
-Encourage cultivationof drought tolerant crops and develop markets to support local food systems;
-Promote policies to improve water management;
-Promote weather index insurance schemes for farmers;
-Promote social safety net policiesto reduce vulnerability, especially for women and children.
The action will complement but not overlap with the ongoing food security programmes in the target States/ LGAs supported by various bilateral and multilateral programmes such as EU, DfID, SIDA, UNEP, IFAD, and the World Bank in Nigeria.
