F.a: Women legal empowerment and Human/Women Rights Promotion Although the role of women in Afghanistan is generally at the moment better than under the Taliban (1996-2001) it is still weak, according to the UNDP's gender equality index, it is the world's weakest. Although there has been made significant improvements
 in the political and labor force participation,  there is strong impact of traditional and extreme religious parties on the status of women, especially in rural areas, where there is women's high illiteracy and violence against women. The project aims to 
promote women's literacy and legal awareness of women's rights and human rights,  legal aid and legal advice and in cases of violence against women. In addition, the project aims at promoting men's awareness of women's rights. The target group is the rural
 communities of men and women Waras and Punjab in the county area of Bamyan. Shuhada Organization is an NGO founded by Sima Samar, the president of the Afghanistan's National Human Rights Commission, and the current Chairman of the former Minister for Wome
n's Affairs. It was originally founded in Quetta, Pakistan, in 1989. The aim is to Afghan reconstruction and development and focus on particular to improve the position of women and children. www.shuhada.org

F.a: Regional Coordination Regional Coordination. The purpose of the Regional Coordination Programme is to improve the project personnel network in East Africa. Fida’s partners with several churches in East Africa and has a large variety of different types of development projects 
with them. In the past, all individual projects worked separately. In order to create synergy and enhance the work in general, Fida is now moving towards thinking in terms of East Africa as a whole. The key function of the programme is to provide a platfor
m for the partners to network with each other and to ensure they share the Fida vision and strategies. The programme also works as a monitoring and planning channel to provide expertise in e.g. such thematic areas as HIV/AIDS and gender, and to supervise t
he use of material and human resources. Training on ethics as well as financial administration are also part of the programme. As the partners are brought together, they will be able share experiences and begin new partnerships. This will lead towards the 
formation of a well-functioning network that implements high quality holistic development work.
FLC/Capacity Building Program for SME Logistics Service Providers and Exploring Markets for Walvis Bay Corridors PYM/Logistiikka-alan pienyrittäjien kapasiteetin kehittäminen sekä Walvis Bayn kautta käytävän kaupan lisääminen The Walvis Bay Corridor Group is a long term partner to the Embassy of Finland. It is a Public-Private Partnership established to promote the Port of Walvis Bay as the gateway for SADC to and from Europe and the Americas. The aim is to create a marketing c
orridor through Namibia to the neighbouring countries. The  project will support SMEs in the logistic sector to have the necessary capacity to meet the needs and demands of the growing and competitive market. The project also contains a component that aims
 at exploring trade opportunites between Finland and Namibia by opening the corridor for Finnish markets thus boosting the economy of both Namibia and Finland. The activities will involve training and mentoring for SMEs supporting a Transporters Associatio
n and creating market studies and linkages with Finnish business partners. http://www.wbcg.com.na/ WBCG pyrkii kehittämään Walvis Bayn satamasta kukoistavaa logistiikka-alan ja maahantuonnin sekä viennin keskusta. Kaupan lisääminen Walvis Bayn kautta luo monia työmahdollisuuksia ja vähentää köyhyyttä Namibiassa. Hankkeen tarkoituksena on lis
ätä logistiikka-alan pienyrittäjien kapasiteettia jotta nekin voisivat hyötyä lisääntyvistä elinkeinomahdollisuuksista ja kilpailla suuryritysten kanssa. Logistiikka-alan pienyrittäjien kapasiteetti on usein huono ja kilpailun kiristyessä ne jä
ävät helposti suuryritysten jalkoihin. WBCG:lla on myös hyvät yhteydet ulkomaille. Yksi hankkeen tavoitteista onkin edistää markkinointireittejä Walvis Bayn kautta. Myös suomalaisten logistiikka-alan yritysten kiinnostusta Walvis Bayn satamaan tutk
itaan.
F.a: Right to Peace (R2P) in the Central African Republic Due to the sporadic nature of the conflict in CAR, as well as the weak authority and reach of the Transitional Government, it is necessary to look into empowering communities themselves to build resilience to conflict. By directly engaging members of commu
nities to reflect on narratives, problems and prerequisites to reconciliation, communities begin to enable themselves to process the consequences of conflict and establish ownership over recovery, as well as prevention of further conflict. This project’s
 objective is to enhance the capacities of communities to recover from, reconcile and prevent violent conflict. A further key objective of FCA’s Right to Peace approach in CAR will be to build bridges between the youth and the traditional/religious leade
rship, in order to nurture more holistic collaboration and foster an improved sense of belonging and representation within communities. To capitalise on its comparative advantage in the education sector and to ensure a sustainable approach to social cohesi
on that engages both youth and elders, Finn Church Aid (FCA) will couple its peace activities with education activities. In view of social cohesion and peacebuilding, it is particularly pertinent to engage the youth, who constitute half of the population i
n CAR today. FCA is currently the only organisation taking on such a mutually reinforcing approach to education and social cohesion.FCA’s R2P activities will be based on: • Discussion groups, engaging 1. the (Parents Association, PTA) active in the com
munity; 2. the youth of the community; 3. the women of the community: 4. the community leadership (religious, traditional, mayor); • Encouraging a balanced representation women in all groups;• Separate and joint thematic discussions and workshops; • 
Thematic awareness-raising (incl. HR, IHL, SGBV, RoL, Justice) and mediation training (as well as possibly practical livelihood skills training)Identified beneficiaries are the targeted communities as a whole, but through a focus on youth and their familie
s (PTAs), as well as religious and traditional leaders.On a secondary level, the project aims to influence national authorities by inviting them to recognise and engage with community level peace support structures.

F.a: Rights of domestic workers In connection with the launching ceremony a press conference will inform the general public, including potential members, about the existence and start of the development project of the domestic workers union of Mozambique. Already before this a basic info
rmation leaflet will be produced, and this can be used in other public meetings and organizing work. In the weekend meetings organized in neighborhoods where domestic workers live potential new members will be invited and basic rights education started, in
 order to inform people about domestic work decree of 2008 as well as contents of ILO C189 ratified in 2011, leading to preparations of national ratification campaign to be started in 2016. OTM-CS research unit and national institute of statistics will be 
requested to help investigate how many people work in the sector; this to establish the potential membership. Towards the end of the year a three year project cycle will be planned, and the project will be transformed into a Red Nose Foundation funded one 
with a budget significantly higher than the allocation of the preparatory year 2015.The situation of domestic workers in very fragile and vulnerable and the work is almost invisible in society, although tens of thousands of people work in the sector. Stren
gthening the union and developing its intervention capacity and visibility will increase rights awareness of the workers and their possibilities to defend themselves against inappropriate treatment. As immediate results domestic workers know about their ri
ghts and the union that is there to defend them. The union gains new members and leverage and in the long run also organizational and financial sustainability.The beneficiaries of the project are domestic workers of Mozambique. The partner, the Mozambican 
domestic workers’ union is the only union of the country in this sector, and its members work in cleaning, taking care of children and elderly, washing, cooking, gardening, private household security guarding, repairs and maintenance, shopping and runnin
g other errands as well as caring for pets. Most workers are young and predominantly women. The union is affiliated to the national centre OTM-CS and the International Domestic Workers’ Network.
F.a: Conference on promoting ecological democracy and community rights The project involves organizing an international conference on ecological democracy and community rights for 200 participants in Sri Lanka. Local communities in the global South lack decision-making power over the natural resources surrounding them. As a r
esult, many communities have become marginalized victims of modern development and environmental damage caused by it. Ecological democracy provides a framework that would enable community participation in decision-making over local environment in their own
 terms, instead of those of companies or officials. In order to make  informed decisions and act accordingly, the communities and grassroots organizations need better access to environmental information. The two-day conference will be held in the turn of S
eptember-October 2014 in Kandy, Sri Lanka. The conference precedes a general meeting of Friends of the Earth International (FoEI), which will be held in the same place. Half of the participants in the conference will be local activists and community repres
entatives, and the other half FoEI network members from 76 countries. The implementing organization, Centre for Environmental Justice, is FoEI 's member organization in Sri Lanka. The conference enables exchanging information and experiences  on environmen
tal problems and democratic management of enviroment between local actors and those coming from different parts of the world. A declaration and action plan to achieve ecological democracy will be made in the conference, and afterwards a publication on the 
conference presentations and discussions will be published. The conference will enhance the capacities of local communities to act on behalf of their environmental and other basic rights and sustainable livelihoods, as well as support international network
ing of the environmental movement in Sri Lanka. Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ) was established in January 2004. CEJ aims to protect the equal environmental rights of the people, conserve nature and natural resources, support ecologically sound comm
unity activities, promote good environmental governance and ecological sustainability. CEJ provides free legal advice to the people affected by environmental problems, campaigns against e.g. environmental pollutants and climate change, and raises awareness
 on environmental impact assessment processes and the environmental outcomes of development initiatives. CEJ is a member of the Friends of the Earth International and functions as the Friends of the Earth chapter in Sri Lanka. CEJ is closely working with o
ver 70 local and national NGOs in Sri Lanka, and is also a member of several environmnetal forums internationally. www.ejustice.lk
F.a: Partneship Programme PP2 The project aims to increase the capacity of small human rights organizations in western Uganda, which is marginalized area and where the capacity of the human rights actors is weaker than those of, for example, from the capital. The analysis related to pr
ojects and applications will cover the entire country. The aim of the project is the capacity-building of grassroots human rights organizations, and furthermore the improvement of the awareness and the situation of the human rights Rwenzori region. The pro

ala and other in Kasese . The organization's goal is to strengthen grassroots organizations working on human rights , health and peace education  and sustainable and equal  management of the natural resources.
Preventive Education for Uterine Prolapse in Nepal Kohdunlaskeuman ennalta ehkäisy Nepalissa In Nepal there are about 14 million women with Uterine prolapse. Though the expected lifetime has become longer in Nepal the amount of women who get uterine prolapse has not decreased. It has doubled from the year 2008. The problem is in the Nepalese cultu
re. It does not protect the the women after they given a birth to a child. Many of the women are expected to work hard soon after the delivery.The aim of this project is to secure a better health for all in Nepal and to prevent Uterine prolapse- by support
ing them to appreciate the motherhood and to protect the mothers after the delivery - by counselling in breast-feeding and in child care- by teaching right ways to lift and to work - by guiding to healthy living habits and versatile diet- by encouraging to
 smoke free lifestyle with no intoxicating agents or fear of AIDSIt is planned that the project will reach all the 75 districts in Nepal in three years. Partners in the districts will be the health and education departments of the districts and also the vo
luntary women workers groups which already exist in the districts.  According to the plan in each district a three day seminar will be arranged in which all the health teachers from the schools health assistants midwives and the voluntary women workers in 
the district will be invited. Each year about 2500 health workers can take part in the seminar (100 in each district).  All these will get the health education teaching material used during the seminar so that they can use it also in their own work. So the
 amount of the Nepalese reached by the project will be several time larger. Nepalissa on tällä hetkellä arvion mukaan 14 miljoonaa naista jotka kärsivät kohdun laskeumasta. Vaikka nepalilaisten elinikä on pidentynyt kohdunlaskeumasta kärsivien määrä on kaksinkertaistunut vuodesta 2008. Ongelman ydin löytyy nepalilaisest
a kulttuurista Siinä ei äitiä suojella synnytyksen jälkeen ja moni joutuu hyvin pian raskaaseen ruumiilliseen työhön.Projekti pyrkii nepalilaisten terveydentilan parantamiseen ja kohdunlaskeuman ennalta ehkäisyyn1) tukemalla nepalilaisia arvostamaan
 äitiyttä sekä suojelemaan etenkin juuri synnyttäneitä naisia 2) neuvomalla imettämistä ja lastenhoitoa3) opettamalla oikeita nostomenetelmiä ja työtapoja4) ohjaamalla terveisiin elämäntapoihin ja ruokatottumuksiin5) kannustamalla savuttomaan ja
 päihteettömään elämäntapaan ilman AIDSin pelkoaProjekti on tarkoitus ulottaa jokaiseen Nepalin 75 hallintoalueesta. Yhteistyökumppaneina ovat  alueiden terveys- ja kouluviranomaiset sekä alueilla jo toimivat naistoimikunnat. Suunnitelman mukaan jo
kaisella alueella järjestetään kolmipäiväinen koulutustilaisuus johon kutsutaan alueen terveystiedon opettajat terveydenhoitajat ja kätilöt sekä vapaaehtoistyötä tekevien naistoimikuntien edustajat.Koulutukseen voi vuosittain osallistua noin 2 50
0 terveysalan ammattilaista  (100 / maakunta). Kaikille näille annetaan terveystiedon opetusmateriaali jota he voivat käyttää omassa työssään. Näin projektin tavoittamien määrä nouseen moninkertaiseksi.
Kosovo/Aid for Trade 2 Kosovo/Kauppaa tukeva kehitysyhteistyö 2 According to the latest statistics unemployment rate in Kosovo is approximately 30% womens' unemployment is around 40% and youth unemployment over 50%. Trade deficit is a big problem for Kosovo and revenues consist largely on donor aid and diaspora remitta
nces. There is no sustainable base for economic growth.The UNDP project Aid for Trade 2 aims at job creation especially for women and youth by developing employment and education policies and supporting central and municipal level institutions in designing
 and implementation of private sector policies. Private sector development and income generation will be enhanced and emphasis is laid on products and services which are demanded by domestic and export markets. The project aims at increasing domestic produ
ction substitution of imports and increase of exports.Phase II of the project will be funded with 950 000 euros in 2015-2017.As a result of the first phase of the project the capacities in the Ministry of trade and industry of Kosovo have been improved sec
toral analyses have been produced as a basis for decision-making and private sector representatives have been trained and supported. The mid-term review report recommends further suppor to the project. The project second is planned to be funded with 950 00
0 euros in 2015-2017. Kosovossa työttömyysprosentti on viimeisimpien selvitysten mukaan noin 30% naisten osalta noin 40% ja nuorten osalta yli 50%. Kauppataseen alijäämä on suuri ongelma maan taloudelle jonka tulopuoli koostuu suurelta osin ulkomaisesta avusta ja diasporan
 rahalähetyksistä. Taloudelliselle kasvulle ei ole kestävää perustaa.UNDP:n Kosovon kauppaa tukeva kehitysyhteistyö 2 -hanke tähtää työpaikkojen luomiseen erityisesti naisille ja nuorille kehittämällä työllisyys- ja koulutuspolitiikkaa sekä 
tukemalla keskus- ja kuntatasoa yksityissektoria koskevan politiikan  kehittämisessä ja toteutuksessa. Yksityissektorin kehittämisessä ja ansiotulomahdollisuuksien luomisessa keskitytään tuotteisiin ja palveluihin joille on kysyntää sekä kotimaan-
 että vientimarkkinoilla. Hankkeella pyritään kasvattamaan kotimaista tuotantoa ja korvaamaan tuontia sekä lisäämään vientiä.Hankkeen ykkösvaiheen tuloksena erityisesti Kosovon kauppa- ja teollisuusministeriön henkilöstön kapasiteetti on kasva
