ICCO WAP This program seeks to contribute to a lasting peace process with gender justice in Colombia, in which women and girls have the same rights and opportunities as men and boys. It is implemented by a Consortium made up of three Colombian organizations and two Dutch organizations, one of them is ICCO Cooperation, as leader of the Program. The incorporation of gender measures in the Peace Agreement has been the result of the incidence of women in Colombia. However, the implementation of these measures is low, a situation that, together with a culture based on patriarchal values, social, economic and political inequalities for reasons of gender and different forms of violence against women, violate the exercise of human rights, a sustainable and inclusive development and democracy.
In this context, the Mujeres que Inciden en la Paz program seeks to contribute to a lasting peace process with gender justice in Colombia, in which women and girls have the same rights and opportunities as men and boys, creating conditions conducive to strengthening the participation, influence and leadership of women and their organizations in peacebuilding spaces at the local, territorial and national levels.

Cooperation for Women's Economic Development Women Economic Empowerment through Agricultural Cooperatives The project ' Women Agriculture Cooperatives (WAC)'  aims to contribute to the enhanced social and economic status of women in Cambodia. The program aims to contribute to the enhanced social and economic status of women in Women Agriculture Cooperatives (WAC) in the Cambodian provinces: Kampong Speu, Kampong Chhnang, Pursat, and Battambang. 

Despite of a lot of progress in the WACs in recent years, WACs focus on a limited variety of products and the quality of the products is poor. Farmers also lack access to quality seeds and market information. WACs have limited capacity and skills especially in entrepreneurship and business management and their financial systems and other record keeping is poor. There is a high demand for good quality or organic vegetables in Cambodia, but WACs lack the knowledge of growing the vegetables based on the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standard or producing organic crops. Moreover, the WACs still face the limited access to markets and capital to support for their investments or growth. 

The project therefore focuses on the emerging need to connect the WACs better to the markets. The overall objective of the project is to contribute to enhanced social and economic status of women in agriculture cooperatives in Kampong Speu, Kampong Chhnang, Pursat and Battambang. The specific objectives are: 
(1) Improved business capacity of women in running the WACs; and 
(2) Enabled business environment for supporting sustainability of WACs. 

This project is implemented together with FCA and LWD and funded by Women’s Bank.
ACT IRQ181 - DRA IRQ JR4 Emergency relief to displaced, returnees and remainees in N. Iraq. The interventions aim at providing hygiene kits accompanied with hygiene promotion, emergency water supply and garbage collection and at providing CfW opportunities to displaced, returned and remained families in Nineveh plains and Kirkuk. Since mid 2014, N.Iraq have seen massive displacement of entire communities from the Nineveh plains to surrounding areas as the consequence of the occupation of their cities and towns by ISIL, leaving over 2.5M people under the control of ISIL. Since 2016, a significant number of the displaced people has returned to their areas of origin as Iraqi forces managed to re-occupy most of the areas held by ISIL since mid 2014.

Profitable Opportunities for Food Security (PROOFS) Improving food security for BoP households in Bangladesh Over recent years, considerable progress has been made in improving food and nutrition security and health situation with better water and sanitation in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi people face ongoing challenges due to a number of interrelated factors, such as a very high population density, severe climate imbalances and environmental issues, and a high frequency of natural disasters. In Bangladesh malnutrition is widespread, especially amongst women and children (40-50%). It affects both their physical health and cognitive development. In addition, it has a negative impact on their social and economic development. Prices of critical imports and global commodities, such as diesel fuel and key staples like rice, remain high and continue to rise.
Rates of malnutrition in children, adolescents, and women in Bangladesh are among the highest in the world. Among these population groups 9.6% are suffering from stunting, 31.9% from wasting anemia and 42% are underweight. Despite the steady decline in malnutrition over the past decade, there is much scope for improving the nutrition and food security of Bangladeshi households. Around 26% of the Bangladeshi population faces chronic food insecurity as a consequence of poor access to sufficiently nutritious food. Higher food security coupled with improved nutrition knowledge can have a significant impact on the physical and cognitive development, which in turn affects the social and economic productivity of an individual.

Insufficient access to food
Food insecurity is closely related to poverty. As much as 32% of the Bangladeshi population lives below the poverty line, with approximately 50 million Bangladeshis experiencing insufficient access to food and other basic needs. The current situation with regard to water, sanitation and hygiene is poor and poses further health risks.

Smallholders
The bulk of food is produced by smallholder farmers, of which many produce only at a subsistence level. Generally, these smallholders face deficient local input and output markets: inefficient market infrastructure and limited market information, poor access to credit and extension services, and inadequate infrastructure such as irrigation and electricity.
 
ICCO Cooperation, iDE and BoPInc have developed the PROOFS project with financial support of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. PROOFS stands for Profitable Opportunities for Food Security.
ACT - Lake Chad 2017-2018 Emergency Response to Conflict Affected Populations in the Lake Chad Basin Three countries (Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad) in the Lake Chad region are affected by the ongoing, Boko Haram conflict. ACT  members have  carried  out  an  assessment  and  have  cross - checked  the  results  with  the  information  received  while  participating  in  different humanitarian coordination platforms (UN clusters, technical working groups, etc.); and have determined that the priority sectors are the following:
1. Food security 2. WASH 3. GBV/Protection 4. Livelihoods/early recovery Three countries (Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad) in the Lake Chad region are affected by the ongoing, Boko Haram conflict. As the needs continue to increase, this slow - onset forgotten crisis
is urgently requiring attention to save lives and maintain human dignity.  Approximately 21 million people live in the conflict - affected areas, of which 2.6 million are displaced and in dire need of support.

The  conflict  has  had  devastating  effects  on  the  region,  visible  not  only  through  the  widespread  destruction  of  homes,  livelihoods,  infrastructure  and  large - scale displacements,  but  also  in  the  conflict - induced  trauma  and  fear  within  the  affected  communities.  The  already  grim  situation  is  further  compounded  by  climate change, as the Lake Chad- the people's principle source of income and livelihoods is receding at an alarming rate. In  some  of  the  affected  areas,  humanitarian  access  is  often  hampered  by  insecurity.    Access  may  also  be  limited  due  to  the  rainy  season  (June - August). 

Moreover,  social  and  political  institutions  in  the  region  are  fragile  or  underdeveloped  and corruption  is  widespread.  The  already  critical  situation  is  even  more desperate the conflict affected people with vulnerabilities. There is a pressing necessity to provide immediate assistance to minimize loss of life and to ensure that the needs of the most vulnerable are covered first. The situation in the region is deteriorating as States are unable to provide adequate services to the affected communities coupled with a decrease in humanitarian funding as result of donor fatigue. Although humanitarian actors are present in the Lake Chad basin, the needs are very high as there are several gaps in service provision.  

ACT  members have  carried  out  an  assessment  and  have  cross - checked  the  results  with  the  information  received  while  participating  in  different humanitarian coordination platforms (UN clusters, technical working groups, etc.); and have determined that the priority sectors are the following:
1. Food security

Vocational Training and Education for Ebola Youth Survivors Vocational training Ebola survivors Sierra Leone is emerging from the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) epidemic.  The EVD first emerged in Sierra Leone in late April of 2014 and quickly spread nationwide.   Now 27 months later, we have been declared Ebola Free for the 2nd time (Ebola Free is defined as having no new confirmed Ebola Cases and after  42 days have passed since all Ebola patients were discharged from treatment centers.   The country was totally unprepared for the outbreak.  Approximately 3,500 persons died during the Ebola o The Ebola Youth Livelihood Scheme with funds from ICCO is being implemented by Council of Churches in Sierra Leone (CCSL) in collaboration with the Sierra Leone Association of Ebola Survivors ��� SLEAS in the Western Urban and Rural district in Sierra Leone.

CCSL has been closely working with these survivors since they became victims of the scourge in 2014. After the disease was declared over, CCSL thought it fit to engage itself in livelihoods restoration programs for Ebola survivors by  helping them to regain their self esteem through psycho social counselling and various skills trainings and re-integrating these persons into their communities.
Down to Zero Colombia Movement against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) The Down to Zero (DtZ) program includes preventative and protective measures that focus on actual child victims and children at risk of commercial sexual exploitation. 

Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is a fundamental violation of children's rights. It consists of child prostitution, child pornography, and child trafficking for sexual purposes. The DtZ program  is carried out in four countries in Latin America. The Down to Zero (DtZ) program combats commercial sexual exploitation of children and takes preventative and protective measures that focus on actual child victims and at-risk children. The project in targets four different groups: Children, community, government, and private sector. Although in Colombia are policies to combat commercial sexual exploitation of children, they are not yet put into practice. The same shall apply to the shelters for exploited children; they exist but do not run properly yet.  Even worse, cities like Riohacha and Albania don't have any shelters at all. Shelters are much needed as the number of cases of exploitation and trafficking grows. A positive development is that the private sector makes progress by working on the development of laws in relation to sexual exploitation in the tourist industry. Also the mining sector needs to deal with solutions for commercial sexual exploitation of children.
 
Assertiveness:

In the DtZ program we aim at teaching at-risk children and adolescents and other victims to speak out, advocate, and seek protection against sexual exploitation. Personal development plans are an important tool in the program. We motivate children and adolescents to get organized in youth let organizations that access specialized services that protect them, help them rehabilitate, reintegrate, and reduce their vulnerability to sexual exploitation.
 
Government and stakeholders:

We make private sector stakeholders in the tourism, mining, cement, sugar and the transportation sector aware of their role in fighting child abuse and exploitation, and make sure they amend their practices and/or business models based on ethical principles and values to actively protect children. Last but not least, the government, at all levels and in all fields, is urged to take action.
Amaranth Development Responsible Management Amaranth production with responsible management and marketing of amaranth in differentiated domestic and external markets, in order to improve the income of producers and their families in a sustainable way. The area of intervention is made up by 8 municipalities of the region called central Chuquisaca. This region has primarily agricultural vocation which is limited due to low productivity with reduced generation of economic income for peasant families. There is also high food insecurity affecting the youth and children, limited participation of women in productive processes, smallholding (small agricultural property), minimum presence of marketing channels, limited promotion and support for productive prioritized complexes, and inappropriate management of natural resources (land, water and vegetation). 

It is a challenge to alternatives which can contribute the generation of economic and social opportunities for rural producers in the department of Chuquisaca, with an approach for inclusion and sustainable development.

Currently, Chuquisaca is the largest amaranth producer at national level, and its farming is being revaluated due to the suitable properties of the land and climate in this area.
Yamni iwaia natka nani (Art for good living) Kerk in Actie Project 2017 Nicaragua The project will encourage adolescents to appropriate the few pubic spaces in Alamikangba; especially will encourage them to see the school as a public space in which they can make their voices heard, assert their rights and enjoy their adolescence. It will also accompany adolescents to organize themselves and become actors in the development of their communities.  They will also creatively intervene in existing public spaces, such as Alamikangba's main streets, school and communal space. CEIBO RL has been present in Alamikamgba since 2013 and has excellent coordination with the authorities of Instituto 10 de Abril, with local organizations such as Christian Medical Action (AMC), health ministry and community leadership.  The project will strengthen miskitu indigenous adolescents’ leadership in Alamikamgba throughout 2017.  

The "Tininiska" Network was created during 2016 and needs to strengthen its knowledge and skills in cultural promotion, to continue to develop awareness-raising actions in its community that promote non-violent ways of relating between men and women. Actions will be implemented with teenagers of the High School 10 de Abril (INDA), because the members of the "Tininiska" Network for 2017 have already gone from primary to secondary education. Artistic and cultural methodologies will be used, combining the teaching of dance, theater and music techniques with human rights knowledge with a focus on gender, violence prevention, teenage pregnancy, sexual abuse and the importance of adopting new masculinities that allow them to relate in equality and equity. It is expected that the Network will grow in number, integrating other adolescents interested in participating in the different activities promoted from the project. In addition, sports leagues will be formed, thus promoting the sport as spaces for non-violent recreation and participation.

Expected outcomes will include: violence has been prevented in the Alamikangba community, through the use of art and sport and miskitus adolescents have spaces of participation in the socio-political life of Alamikangba.

SHO - Kenya Hunger Response Wajir Food support for vulnerable groups and farmers The current drought in the Horn of Africa also affects Wajir county. In the community of Makaror, Wajir town, DAWN plans to distribute food (unimix) to 300 vulnerable people such as lactating mothers, malnourished children and elderly people. 15 Farmers will be assisted with generators, which will support their irrigation systems and enable food production. The current drought in the Horn of Africa also affects Wajir county. The Somali conflict has led to high food prices and pastoralists face problems with available water and pasture. Figures from the National Drought Management Authority report are alarming. Livestock is producing very little milk, affecting the purchasing power of the owners. The percentage of young children at risk of malnutrition is increasing (moving above 20%). The long rains (April-May) were expected to bring relief, but rain has been below average until now. FEWS NET (famine early warning systems net) expects more households to move into IPC phase 3 (crisis). 

Welzijn Wajir foundation has worked with Wajir for more than 20 years and supports in health and education through DAWN, the Development Agency Wajir Netherlands.
Pulses, People, Planet & Profit - ICCO Lead partner Pulses, People, Planet and Profit - own implementation This project  will increase the incomes of 10,000 smallholder mungbean farmers, 20% of whom are landless female farm labourers. Pulses value chains, specifically for mungbeans, offer great potential to lift many Myanmar farmers and labourers out of poverty. The Pulses, People, Planet and Profit (P4) project will work with smallholder farmers and labourers in four townships in Yangon and Magway Regions (Thongwa, Kayan, Magway and Min Bu).

The project, started in September 2017, will increase the incomes of 10,000 smallholder mungbean farmers, 20% of whom are landless female farm labourers. Pulses value chains, specifically for mungbeans, offer great potential to lift many Myanmar farmers and labourers out of poverty. 

The key objectives of the P4 project are to improve the enabling environment for the mungbean value chain in Myanmar by proposing policy and regulatory reforms; to increase the volume of mungbeans purchased by premium market buyers from farmers groups by enhancing access to support services on Good Agricultural Practices, Climate Smart Agriculture and collective marketing; and to increase the mungbean farmers productivity and quality of produce by enhancing access to support services and good quality mungbean seeds.
