Unlocking doors to early childhood interventions for health and education for children with vision or hearing impairment in Nepal This project aims to increase the enrollment of disabled children at the pre-school age of 3-6 years in public schools simultaneously with other children of the age group. Identification of children with disabilities or disabling diseases is conducted by e
xamining screened children at the eye + ear camps. Around 10 000 children will be provided with rehabilitation and/or simple treatment necessary for school attendance and prevention of additional morbidity. An estimated 75 children with severe visual or he
aring disability will undergo a four month rehabilitation in the hospital run by the local partner organization (Children?s Hospital for Eye Ear and Rehabilitation Services CHEERS). To reach these goals volunteers are trained among female health workers te
achers and students so they can identify children with neurosensory disabilities or at risk of disability whom will be sent to eye + ear camps for medical evaluation. This contributes to reducing the prevalence of disabling neurosensory conditions which is
 also achieved by raising awareness of health related to sight and hearing among locals as well as decisionmakers. The project envisages all four aspects of health care delivery, preventive promotive curative and rehabilitative services. The project is to 
be realized as a three-year pilot in two districts in the Terai region of Nepal. The project is to be realized as a collaboration between a Nepalese NGO called B.P. Eye Foundation which has developed the project idea and PSR Finland which has been contacte
d by B.P. Eye foundation to act as a project partner. Based on the previous work of B.P.Eye Foundation this collaborative project also aims to change the Nepalese view on the rights of the disabled remove barriers and stigmas associated with disabilities a
nd enable children with disabilities to become productive citizens. For sustainability of the activities the government of Nepal has made a preliminary commitment of implementing these protocols in other districts and eventually the whole of Nepal once the
 results of the pilot project turn out to be encouraging. B.P. Eye Foundation holds monthly meetings with the government and representatives from Early Childhood Development Center. The project is planned to start in 2015 with project duration of three yea

Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) Haitian civil society organisations, including FCA?s local partners, are generally quite weak, due to a tradition of seeing NGOs solely as service providers and not as civil society actors that represent the citizens and claim accountability from the gover
nment. In addition, their financial and administrative capacities are weak and they are highly dependent of foreign donors. According to FCA?s rights-based approach, building the capacities of local partners is not only a means of increasing the quality of
 our work and contributing to a sustainable use of cooperation funds, but also a goal in itself: a means to strengthening participation on ownership of the development and humanitarian projects by the local populations. It is crucial to the sustainability 
of our work.  The objective of the project is to strengthen the capacities of FCA?s local partner organisations in Haiti.Based on the needs identified capacity assessment of local partners, using FCA partner evaluation format, and in coordination with othe
r ACT organisations (particularly NCA and Christian Aid) FCA will plan and organise training with participation of 5-8 partner organisations. Depending on the selected topic, either a local consultant / organisation will be recruited to facilitate the trai
ning, or if feasible FCA staff from LACRO, HQ or other office will be used as facilitator.  Rights-holders /beneficiaries: The project will benefit directly about 30-50 staff members from FCA?s Haitian partner organisations. Haitian rights-holders in the p
roject areas of these partners will benefit indirectly.Facilitator to be selected based on training topic.

ties among the target population and by providing the cooperation hospitals with some material aid. Fida?s partner is The Korea Education Fund (KEF), a non-governmental organization to support education approved by the government of the DPRK. The initiatio
n to the work came from the local authorities and it was launched autumn 2007 in Pyongyang?s two districts. Because the work was expanding successfully, the Primary Dental Care Support Programme was established in the beginning of 2009. The awareness of th
e programme has spread also to the other districts leading to several enquiries to the partner how to get along.  The preventive work is based on the World Health Organization?s (WHO) Oral Health Promotion Programme where the education comes close to the t
arget population when given by community trainers while the professionals serve as mentors and supervisors. Tooth brushes, pastes and educational material are distributed to the target group children in order to strengthen the education. The cooperation ho
spitals are provided with the mostly required equipment needed to treatment procedures. The project goal is to strengthen the basic knowledge of dental diseases and their prevention among the whole DPRK population. After the initiative phase, the work is g
oing to be shifted to the locals. Fida?s representatives had a privilege to participate in a presentation seminar arranged by the partner in October 2008.

Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) The Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) was established in response to guidance received from the seventh session of the UNFCCC COP in Marrakech in 2001. Like the Least Developed Countries Fund the SCCF is managed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). I
t is designed to finance activities programs and measures related to climate change that are complementary to those funded through the climate change focal area of the GEF under the following four financing windows: (i) Adaptation to climate change, (ii) T
echnology transfer, (iii) Mitigation in selected sectors including: energy transport industry agriculture forestry and waste management, and (iv) Economic diversification. Among these four windows adaptation has the top priority therefore also Finland cont
ributes to this window. As at April 20 2014 75 countries had accessed a total of $291.47 million for 66 projects under the SCCF. Of the total resources approved $235.99 million were for 56 projects under the SCCF Adaptation Program. Most of the projects ar
e still under implementation or in the planning phase therefore the results achieved are still limited. According to latest report among others early-warning systems have been established or strengthened and over one thousand people have been trained. Numb
er of direct beneficiaries is estimated to be over one thousand.Finland has supported the SCCF yearly with 900 000 euros. When possible additional support has been given. This year Finland contributes with 2.9 million euros.
