Jovenes protegiendo el medio ambiente Environmental consciousness in Matagalpa and whole Nicaragua is very weak. People have no knowledge on the effects of environmental problems and about what they can do to improve the state of the environment. In the project there will be an environmental e
ducation course for the 5th and 6th grade students and for two environmental youth groups in  two poor neighborhoods. The purpose of the training is to increase environmental consciousness. In this second phase of the project the activities will be amplifi
ed in four new schools in the area. In addition to that the activities will be continued in the six schools that were involved in the project earlier and also the two neighborhoods. By including the six schools already participating in the project it will 
be possible to make good use of the previous experiences and better support the the continuity of the activities once the project ends. The environmental education will be integrated in the local education authority's national curriculum and will be amplif
ied in the other schools in the area.

Voluntary support to United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) through the Secretariat United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is a legally binding international agreement linking environment and development to sustainable land management. The Convention aims to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought e
specially in Africa. The Convention entered into force in 1996 and has currently 195 Parties. Finland ratifed the agreement in 1995.The Sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) are held on a biennial basis. The COP approves the budget of the Convent
ion and the indicative scale of contributions to the core budget. The achievement of the UNCCD workplan objectives is dependent on voluntary support. The year 2014 is important for the UNCCD in preparing for the meetings for 2015 including the 3rd UNCCD sc
ientific conference to be held in March 2015 and the COP 12 to be held in September 2015. The issues of combatting desertification and drought are also reflected in the global discussions on Post 2015 process as well as in the negotiations for a new global
 climate change agreement. The UNCCD Secretariat has made a proposal for the 2014 voluntary support by Finland. With the allocation of 400 000 euros Finland will support activies taken by the secretariat to enhance scientific knowledge on land-based adapta
tion to organise the 3rd UNCCD scientific conference in Mexico in March 2015 to prepare a publication on drought to enhance rights-based approach to sustainable land management to prepare advocacy material on equitable access to land and to organise a Gend
er Forum to be held at COP 12. In addition Finland will support developing country participation in the sessions of the COP and its subsidiary bodies. A significant part of Finland's previous support for the UNCCD has been targeted to regional coordination
 in developing countries and to support to developing country participation in the decision-making in the Convention processes. As a result the inclusion of the special needs of developing countries in the UNCCD negotiations has strengthened.

Frame agreement with NGO (CMI) The Syrian civil war has very real local roots, but it is increasingly connected, both in terms of contributing dynamics and consequences, at regional level in the Middle East. This project aims to flexibly address the various levels of the Syria and relat
ed regional crisis, in areas of conflict prevention and resolution that are CMI?s core expertise, and based on established and emerging networks in the region. The project will seek to provide support and capacity building to key institutions and stakehold
er groups in neighbouring states, such as Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon, while also enabling dialogue and mediation among relevant parties in these states, as well as Syrians within and outside the country. In addition, the project encompasses discussions among

Frame Agreement with NGO (Plan International Finland Foundation) The programme aims to build opportunities for 0-6 year old children to grow in a healthy and stimulating environment through an inclusive and integrated community based early childhood care and development intervention. The programme includes four key comp
onents that include strengthening parenting skills and knowledge to support child development, increasing access to quality early learning services for vulnerable children, facilitating effective transitions to primary school and advocacy at community, dis
trict and national level to meet the development needs of young children. Of the country?s 0-6 year old children, only 4% has access to some form of ECCD and especially in the rural areas access to early learning is limited due to lack of awareness and pov
erty on the part of communities and parents, lack of supportive policy and commitment on the part of government, and also neglect on the part of donors to this very crucial sector. The programme targets the most vulnerable children including girls, orphans
 and children with disabilities. In total 8 000 children, 8 350 parents and 125 teachers will benefit from the programme. The programme is implemented by Plan Mozambique in cooperation with the communities and the government.

, and the disaster preparedness of the communities has improved through training and capacity building. The program is implemented by the Lutheran World Federation/Department of World Service as the Colombia Country Program.
Integrated project against HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS continues to pose a serious threat to people living in southern Somalia: according to some estimates approximately 75.000 people are HIV positive. Somalia being a weak state its statistics is poor, in reality the figure is much higher. Communities
 in Banadir and lower Shabelle regions have limited access to education and health care. Large parts of these communities are still not correctly informed on health issues hygiene and STIs. People's knowledge of HIV/AIDS is commonly based on false beliefs 
and incorrect information spread by healers. Using a condom is a taboo and people living with HIV are stigmatised.The direct objective of the project is to raise awareness and capacities of target communities to fight HIV/AIDS. In the long term the achieve
ments lead to non-rising/decreased prevalence rates in the project area and the surrounding communities. The partner organisation in the project is  KASAB - Community Empowerment Programme. This project is a continuation to the ongoing project of six years
 financed by Ministry for Foreign Affairs.The main beneficiaries of the project are the youth and the so called bridge populations e.g. female tea vendors IDPs truck drivers and Khat dealers. Investing in the youth means investing in the future. The Nation
al AIDS Forum healthcare workers and community health promoters are also direct beneficiaries. The project empowers women by targeting especially female tea vendors who will become increasingly aware of the risks and ways to protect oneself from HIV/AIDS. 
In case of HIV/AIDS in the family women are the ones responsible for the extra resources for coping with the situation. Marginalised IDPs will be given attention. By raising awereness on HIV/AIDS the project aims to reduce stigma around the disease and tha
t way contribute to social inclusion of the often discriminated HIV positive and to social and economic equality in the long run. HIV and climate change being profoundly linked communities with stronger response to AIDS epidemic are also better equipped to
 social resilience against climate change threats.The key project activities include identifying and training volunteer community health promoters training healthcare workers and risk groups organising HIV/AIDS campaigns and events and preparing and broadc
asting a drama to be sent in the local radio and printing an educational booklet on HIV/AIDS.
