Traditional system of medicine for community health In face of onslaught of modern medicine which is inaccessible to poor communities it is necessary to revive the multi-tiered interactive interdisciplinary eco-sensitive and vegetation-based health care system. It builds on indigenous knowledge systems by w
hich communities' basic health security is in their own hands in their relation to life of trees and plants and biodiversity.JJVS has established a network of traditional folk healers (Gunis) in selected pockets of nine states of India. The base for the Gu
ni cooperation is the law for local governance in scheduled areas PESA Act which gives the Gram Sabhas as local village councils an authority to nominate the traditional healers and thus give them a public recognition The constitutive approach of JJVS is t
o recognize new Gunis and to expand to new areas in Rajasthan and promote then the mutual learning of Gunis and their registration processes in Panchayats their cooperation for local health consultations and school and home herbal gardens preparation of co
mmunity health knowledge registers and local biodiversity registers and cooperation with colleges researchers and authorities.Besides this basic approach there are:- Two construction sites to be promoted: a Temple Garden and Guni Ashram Kurabar - The Natio
nal cooperation - Mapping of so called ?sustainable pockets? where traditional skills and sustainable life still is availableFor 2013 two additional elements are emphasized: - Participation in an initiative process of Accreditation and Certification of Pri
or Learning (ACPL) of Gunis through involving local democratic bodies and technical institutions - supported by the National institute of AYUSH (Ayurveda Yoga Unani Siddha and Homeopathy) Govt. of India and technically supported by Indira Gandhi National o
pen University (IGNOU) Quality council of India. . This process will start with qualifying Minimum standard of competence (MSC) format which is developed by expert folk healers themselves in particular stream or health condition.- The organic cultivation o
f medicinal plant or wild harvesting of raw drugs which are in high trade will be promoted for immediate livelihood support or income by Gunis farmers and villagers. The value addition of such raw drugs can also be taken for product or medicines developmen
t so that they can get more value or cost of the harvested medicinal herbs.

Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Kenya The project is based upon the third phase of the project carried out by CEFI in partnership with the Embassy.  During the period the organization created collaborative networks to enhance synergies with other organizations, National Environmental  Manageme
nt  Authority (NEMA)  Kenya Forest Service Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Ministry of Agriculture  Ministry of Forestry + Wildlife among others. The low cost up- scale agro-forestry model addresses the deforestation and watershed crisis in K
enya in which forest cover has diminished from 62% down to 2% over the past thirty years.  The projects creates community self reliance in obtaining seeds managing community based tree nurseries and carrying out a self help form of extension services. The 
projects creates permanent forests blocks on residual pieces of Farmland agro-forestry systems and a program for sustained annual harvests that do not diminish the forest block. Climate is of a mild inland equatorial type modified by relief altitude and pr
oximity to the lake. It favours the cultivation of sugar cane which is the district?s main industrial crop besides other crops like tobacco cotton maize and cassava. According to Kenya Forest Research Institute KERI the climate also favours the growth of v
arieties of trees. Despite moderate rainfall pattern the forest cover in the district is way below the average due to persistent forest destruction to give way for subsistence farming. According to Ministry Planning and National Development Migori district
 focus 2002-2008 the most prudent/practical form of intervention that deals with both food security problem as well as depletion of forest cover in the district is through Agro-forestry activities. The main objectives of the proposed project are to:a) Prom
ote intercropping of diverse beneficial tree species, fruit tree wood-lots fuel wood and medicinal trees etc.b) reduce rural poverty/hunger through locally led-fruit tree and high yielding crops cultivation that ensures sustainable use of forest and forest
ry productsc) create community-led agro-forestry user groups and Home associations Networks as a vehicle for reforestation and poverty reduction through income generation activitiesd) conserve biodiversity through integrated conservation-development soluti
ons based on agro-forestry practices and innovative idease) Build capacity and sensitize community on social audit and mainstreaming cross cutting issues
Community Education and Development project The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the rights of poor and easily marginalized people especially women and children in villages in North-Western Bangladesh particularly their rights to education and socio-economic rights. Both education a
nd the strengthening of women?s position in society are crucial to the long-term development of Bangladesh.  The project works towards the second and third MDGs i.e. universal primary education and gender equality which are also targets of the Bangladesh g
overnment?s current Five Year Plan (2011-2015).  Climate/ environmental sustainability is also a cross-cutting theme of this project and is included in the project's two main components (described below).The project has two main components. First the proje
ct will support the creation of new women?s (and some men?s) development groups. The groups will participate in various types of training organized by the project including basic literacy numeracy group management and livelihood training. Group members are
 encouraged to save money regularly into a group fund which will be used for income-generating activities. The project will simultaneously support those groups that are already functioning to transition to operating independently. Groups should operate ind
ependently after functioning for 6 years.  The second component of the project relates to education rights. The project will support the continued operating of those community schools that were set up in the project?s previous phase. The aim of the schools
 is to support children?s access to education- i.e. to ensure that there are good quality primary schools within a reasonable distance of children?s? homes. Project staff will also work with local authorities and communities to ensure that plans are in pla
ce for transferring ownership of project-supported schools to local communities. Each project-supported school will be transferred after having operated successfully for 5-10 years. In addition the project will provide stipends to those children that wish 
to continue their education but are unable to do so due to financial constraints and will arrange vocational training for unemployed youth.
