NGO Support / Tany maitso Madagascar is among the world's poorest countries. As such people's day-to-day survival is dependent upon natural resource use. Most Malagasy never have an opportunity to find jobs from official sector outside agriculture, they must live off the land that 
surrounds them making use of the natural resources. Their poverty costs the country and the world through the loss of the island's endemic biodiversity. In other words conservation in Madagascar depends on the human well-being especially in the peripheral 
zone of natural forests. Despite efforts brought by many actors on environment the objective which is to have healthy ecosystems have poverty eliminated and sustainable use of natural resources and forest in the future is still far from being reached. The 
objective of Tany Maitso is to contribute to reaching this objective by combining development and conservation. The idea is to enhance the well-being of the local people who are dependent on natural resources living around the protected forest areas in Ran
omafana and Farafangana and the forest corridor area between Ranomafana and Andringitra National Park and simultaneously protect biodiversity.Tany Maitso project has two main purposes: 1/ poverty alleviation in the project villages that will be indicated b
y enhanced livelihood options more variable diet increased literacy rate empowerment of women and improvement of health in the village and 2/ biodiversity conservation that will be promoted through reduction of forest use and through supporting tree planti
ng in each village.  The project has promoted the creation of an association in each village planting of trees such as Jatropha and Moringa vegetables planting beekeeping rat control in the rice plantation through CTBS method and literacy training for adul
ts. However the associations are not fully independent yet and more work is needed for achieving sustainable results.Thus the following activities were planned: 1/ association support and capacity building 2/ tree planting 3/ Literacy training in Tolongoin
a and 4/ market study to support marketing of the products.

Agro-BIG, Programme for agro-business induced growth in Amhara Agro-BIG project aims to develop agriculture-based economic growth and thereby reduce poverty in the Amhara region in selected locations. Immediate objective of the project is to develop agricultural value chains of selected products as well as the capacit
y of the people. The project is timely and responds to the development needs in Ethiopia: 85 per cent of 80 million people derive their livelihood from agriculture. The country is strongly committed to the development of market-oriented agricultural produc
tion strategically politically and operationally. Ethiopia's key development plan GTP aims to double agricultural production and food security by 2015.Most of the Amhara farmers earn their living from rainfed farming. Small farms are also not usually in a 
position to market their products effectively because they are of poor quality and do not reflect the market demand. In addition local small businesses do not have the capacity to develop products value chains. The logic of Agro-BIG is market orientation. 
It aims to grow skills and knowledge of companies communities and above all small-scale farmers so that products meet the requirements of the market. The project will contribute to food security and to improve the status of women in particular small farmer
s in rural areas of Ethiopia and aims to increase the capacity of small farms and the ability to respond to local national and even export market demand and expectations.

Support to FLEGT process in Vietnam and Laos The European Union (EU) adopted its Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan in 2003 to combat illegal logging and the associated trade and to strengthen forest governance. A key element of the Action Plan is to establish Voluntary P
artnership Agreements (VPA) which are bilateral agreements between the EU and timber exporting countries. The aim is to increase the supply of legal timber and timber products as well as to enhance sustainable development forest management and taxation. EU
 and Vietnam started formal VPA negotiations in mid 2010 which are targeted to end in 2014. The VPA will obligate Vietnam to guarantee the legality of all timber products and imported timber.Finland has supported the VPA negotiations through European Fores
t Institute (EFI) since 2011. The support will continue for two more years (2013-2015). The FLEGT Facilitator supports EU and Vietnam during the remainder of negotiation stage and for the commencement of VPA implementation. During the negotiation stage the
 Facilitator supports the Vietnam Administration of Forestry (VNFOREST) the EU Delegation and the European Commission  in the negotiations strengthens multistakeholder dialogue and information dissemination amongst national stakeholders (including civil so
ciety and private sector) as well as enhances coherence and coordination of FLEGT related activities and other cooperation strengthening forest governance.During the implementation phase the Facilitator will support the continuation of stakeholder engageme

Supporting health center activities in Somalia At the second stage of the Afmadow project the main aim is to strengthen the existing health care centre. We have supported the renovation of the building and the equipment and also the hiring of staff and giving any relevant training during years 2011-201
3. Including the Afmadow prenatal clinic we?re also supporting the development of laboratory facilities in clinics of nearby regions, Dobley Qoqani and Diif. This support is by supplying equipment needed for laboratories such as microscopes and also traini
ng during years 2014-1016 a total of 24 new laboratory professionals and 24 midwifes. In addition general training will also be given to 40 regular staff members in the prenatal clinics and also to a group of health care professionals every year. These nee
ds of improvement were discovered during a trip of delegates to Dhobley in 2012. They discovered that there was a severe lack of general medical equipment and a working laboratory facility.As the general aim in the next stage of the project is to improve t
he supply of health services in Afmadow and surrounding areas and to increase health knowledge and training of health care workers -  we are also planning to set up a circulating clinic for Afmadow and areas nearby which would provide health checks for vil
lages once a month. This moving clinic would consist of two health professionals and equipment for general health checks and medications to improve the health care in the region.As a request from the associates in Afmadow we are also planning to provide an
 ambulance to the Afmadow prenatal clinic. There are none in the area at the moment and having an ambulance would improve the ability to provide health care in urgent situations in which serious cases could be transferred to bigger cities more efficiently.
 These prenatal centers are important for the development of health care amenities in the area and also providing general knowledge to improve health related awareness in the regions.  The aim is that these improvements would provide a good base for a sust
ainable development of health care services.
