F.a: FMNR Special Project The project's aim is to improve the food and nutrition security of households and to protect and help restore biodiversity in the implementation areas by the application of farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR) method. FMNR will be applied by forest c
ooperatives. As part of the process of establishing legal forest cooperatives, several activities will be carried out such as delineation of communal land, bylaw development, mapping, land certification and capacity building. This approach has been tested 
in many other areas in the country, specifically within the same zone in the neighbouring districts like Humbo and Soddo and is seen as the best method to scale up agroforestry and reforestation activities in Ethiopia. The communities in the project site a
re well informed and have good awareness on the benefits of FMNR practices which will ease the project implementation. Communities and local government staff will implement the project while WVE staff will take a supportive (technical and material) role an
d provide some level of facilitation. Although all community members in and around the project area are expected to benefit from the project, specific attention will be given to the most vulnerable families and their children, landless youths as well as fe
male-headed households. The project has approximately 14 000 direct beneficiary households in the Wolaita and West Arsi Zones. The main partner is in project implementation is World Vision Ethiopia.

Empowered through media literacy in Palestine Medialukutaito voimaannuttajana Palestiinassa This project is a continuation phase for projects ?Civic Skills via Media Education in Palestine? in 2015?2016 and ?Media Literacy for Sustainable Society? in 2019-2020 funded by the MFA. First one offered media education workshops for media students and p
rofessionals and the second extended media literacy education to citizens living in vulnerable areas and refugee camps. This project aims to empower young adults in Palestine to actively constructively and peacefully participate in building the society and
 democracy. The aim is reached through capacity building of adult educators working with the target groups. Thus this project emphasizes the capacity of trainers in media literacy and pedagogy. Also a guidebook for the trainers of media literacy and pedago
gy will be produced. The aim is also to empower the local trainers by providing them with stronger but supported role during the project.  Altogether three courses consisting of 3 modules (5 days each) will be conducted during 2021 ?2022. The aim is that 1
50 Palestinians teachers and community leaders have been trained on media literacy. The participants have gained technical and theoretical skills in media production. To reach this goal 10 local trainers have been trained to train media literacy and pedago
gy.As the courses strengthen the target groups? media literacy and pedagogical skills the project provides the locals with work opportunities and international contacts. Through their work with the marginalized people the course helps preventing radicaliza
tion and violent extremism. The local partners are Media Development Center (MDC) at Birzeit University and Institute for Community Partnership (ICP) at the University of Bethlehem. Thus the project is a continuation for the fruitful and long-term co-opera
tion which has started already during the previous projects. The project personnel the trainers and course participants will produce journalistic content to be published in media channels in Finland Palestine or internationally as well as in social media. 
This will help to create a more balanced and fact-based views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for media audiences.

FLC: Localizing Kenya National Action Plan in Mandera Samburu and Baringo counties to end double marginalization of women in peace and security The project will endeavour to bring women to the mainstream of peace and security efforts in Mandera Samburu and Baringo counties.  These are Arid and Semi-Arid Lands counties that are categorized as suffering historical marginalization and constantly suff
er periodic breakdown in law and order as well as unending conflicts caused by competition over livelihood resources. Women suffer double marginalization from the historical circumstances as well as from men whose patriarchal beliefs and behaviour lead the
m to treat women as inferior to them. The impact of this behaviour is increased sexual and gender based violence even when there is no active conflict and extreme suffering from both intensification of SGBV during conflict but also displacement and destitu
tion. The project seeks to catalyse women?s collective potential to boost their agency to advocate for protection and realization of their rights even during active conflict. It also seeks to increase women?s participation in leadership of the peace and de
cision making processes as envisioned in the UN 1325 and KNAP 2. The project shall seek to: strengthen the role of women in peace security and governance; and to Promote protection of women and girls from violence abuse and exploitation. The two-year proje
ct aims to catalyse the involvement of women through the dissemination of the 2nd generation Kenya National Action Plan (NAP) to the targeted counties in a simplified and contextualized version and facilitate elaboration of an action plan that shall be imp
lemented jointly with the critical stakeholders. The main target of the project is grassroots women and girls and will enhance equity by ensuring inclusion of women in decision-making at all levels. Men shall be targeted as elders and Morans within existin
g traditional authorities to understand the objectives of KNAP and actively support women to participate equitably with men. Men shall also be targeted as leaders in the county and national governments as well as within religious organizations. The project
 shall promote dialogue and data collection and documentation through consultative forums with women leaders to contextualize and prioritize the local issues such as on relief conflict and reconstruction.

Emergency response to acute and chronic complex health emergencies and increased access to health care for vulnerable populations in South Sudan Through this project Medair will respond to prioritised, assessed, unmet health needs or gaps in primary health service provision, to reduce morbidity and mortality of vulnerable girls, boys, women and men in conflict affected and other vulnerable states. 

This project aims to improve access to quality preventative and curative primary health care services, including reproductive health. Due to the underlying vulnerabilities of the population, high maternal and under 5 mortality rates, this project will focus on improving access of quality life-saving services to pregnant and lactating women and children under 5 years. This project will maintain provision of essential primary health care services to IDPs and the host community in Renk County where the health system has been dysfunctional as a result of the conflict. The project will also maintain Medair’s health mobile response capacity to act as “First Responders” in an emergency location following a needs assessment, as well as to scale-up this first response in the absence of other partners. Medair’s health emergency response team forms part of a well-established multi-sector emergency response team that has been responding to acute emergencies across South Sudan for more than 10 years. Medair deploys health personnel and life-saving assistance at short notice, to assess or respond to needs triggered by acute health emergencies in the country. Medair's mobile teams propose to respond to the needs of communities affected by outbreak of disease or other public health emergencies and to communities displaced or impacted by the ongoing conflict.

This project also aims to support the Ministry of Health and other relevant authorities in emergency response capacity, training local male and female health workers to respond to health emergencies and providing training in disease surveillance, outbreak response, case management, reporting systems, and awareness of various health gender needs based on current disease trends.
Provision of essential Camp Coordination and Camp Management services and promotion of transitional solutions for the displaced populations in Malakal and Melut counties In summary, this project proposes to contribute to three core aspects of Camp Coordination and Camp Management in the Malakal and Melut Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites and spontaneous settlements in Melut. 

Firstly, DRC will continue to perform a coordination function at site level by coordinating a number of multi-stakeholder exercises, such as the relocation to Sector 5 in Malakal PoC and the PoC depopulation exercise in Melut, should the situation permit. As Camp Management agency, DRC will also continue monitoring service provision in the sites by using Cluster-designed tools and facilitate regular information sharing aimed at strengthening the CCCM Cluster’s advocacy ad all levels. 

Secondly, DRC will boost its information management capacity in Western Upper Nile State and develop a number of information management products on population movements in the framework of the Solutions Working Group initiative spearheaded by the CCCM and Protection Clusters. This should inform humanitarians’ decision-making process when it comes to promoting transitional solutions for the communities living in displacement sites in Upper Nile State. 

Thirdly, following the 17th – 18th February incident in Malakal PoC, DRC will re-establish communal facilities – including communication centers, meeting halls, wooden bridges and solar lights – which were destroyed in the areas affected by fire and looting, as well as construct additional ones in Sector 5, whenever the site is developed. 

Lastly, in Melut settlements are mostly transitioning out of the setup phase. The upcoming care and maintenance phase presents a different range of challenges, requiring strong humanitarian leadership in handling the transition and very close engagement with the communities to promote ownership. As part of its Camp Management prerogatives, DRC will promote the gradual transfer of Camp Management concepts to the various stakeholders involved in the community empowerment process at site level, including humanitarian agencies, local authorities (where applicable) and community representatives through a number of capacity building events.
Psycho-social support services for the conflict affected population in Wau To provide PSS services to conflict affected population in Wau Town. IOM conducted a needs assessment from the 30th of June to the 3rd of July 2016. 90 households were interviewed with a total of 675 individuals participating in the exercise from the UNMISS PoC. An overwhelming majority of the participants (92%) reported that a feeling of distress is widespread in the community while 76% reported experiencing a very strong feeling of emotional distress. The first cause of distress mentioned is “killings”: fear of death, witnessing killings, loss of loved ones. At the family level, most interviewees reported experiencing fear. In addition, households reported being separated, and feeling unable to provide adequately for the persons under their care. This project will allow IOM to respond to the needs of IDPs through the following activities: Specialized psychotherapy, lay counseling,  training and provision of Mobile PSS teams to establish community support groups establishment of conflict mediation teams to address peace building issues the establishment of an MHPSS resource center to function as a safe space for beneficiaries MHPSS mainstreaming workshops and awareness campaigns with key messaging to raise awareness of services available.
Support to IDPs in POC sites in Bor, Malakal and Wau through counselling and interventions and strengthening of IDP community capacity for conflict mitigation including search for solutions The project will seek to enhance the protection environment and bolster community participation in conflict mitigation and search for solutions in Bor, Malakal and Wau PoC sites.
