Danida-SP-ToC15-LAC regional,NIC,BOL,COL,MEX Despite recent years’ economic growth and inequality reduction in Latin America, the region continues to be the most unequal region in the world. Extreme inequality, capture of political power by economic elites, impunity and violations of human rights are key challenges across the region, threatening democracy and sustainable economic growth. 2015 was the worst year on record for killings of land and environmental defenders in Latin America, a region which accounts for three-quarters of the total killings worldwide. Of these, 40 % of victims are indigenous, dying amid disputes over hydropower, mining and agri-business on their land. Indigenous peoples and women are also particularly vulnerable to and affected by extreme inequality which – together with the lack of employment and access to free quality education - is pushing adolescents into poverty and migration. Governments are at the same time increasingly facing challenges in mobilising domestic resources sparked by the reduction of commodity prices, threatening recent years’ achievements within social development. The situation calls for action in relation to Sustainable Development Goals 5, 8, 10 and 16 with a particular focus on youth. 1. Inclusive economies: If public awareness on inequality and government spending is increased, then civil society organisations can push policy-makers to increase domestic resource mobilization (DRM) and pro-poor public spending aiming at reducing inequality and improving public quality education. If respectful and trustful multi-stakeholder dialogue is established between civil society, private sector and governments, then National Action Plans can be elaborated, implemented, and monitored, ensuring national and foreign investments are in compliance with the UN Guiding Principles. 2. Democracy & human rights: If indigenous peoples, women, and youth are empowered and increase political participation, then they can hold governments accountable to comply with international conventions on human rights, women’s rights and indigenous peoples’ rights. If the general population becomes aware of and acknowledge the criminalisation of human rights defenders, impunity and gender inequality, then civil society organisations can push policy-makers to take protective measures, and implement necessary political reforms. Based on these assumptions the overall objective of the regional programme is to support the building and consolidation of democratic societies with inclusive and transparent economies benefitting poor and marginalised populations.
Danida-SP-ToC13-GlobalPeace More than 2 billion people live in fragile and conflict affected states. It is estimated that by 2018 around half, and by 2030 most, of the world’s poor will live in fragile and conflict affected states. Out of the 65 million reportedly displaced by conflict and violence today, 95% live in developing countries. At the same time, 90% of the violent conflicts that erupted in the 2000s were old conflicts. The record of peace agreements does not tell a story of success in promoting sustainable peace. Obstacles to success include limited attention to long-term efforts of addressing structural causes of violent conflict as well as insufficient inclusion of women, youth and marginalized groups in peace and other political decision-making processes. This scenario has sparked increased attention to prevention of violent conflict and ‘sustaining peace’ at the level of UN-HQ and spear-headed by the UN-SG. Accordingly, Denmark will invest in peace, stability and protection in developing countries and the Danish Development and Humanitarian Strategy 2017 has SDG Goal 16 on peace, justice and institutional development at the center. An example of Denmark’s increased emphasis on peace and security is the centrality of this dimension in the new 2017 Mali-Denmark Country Programme. The overall objective of the programme: to promote sustainable peacebuilding and prevention of violent conflict through strengthening the participation of women and youth in peace processes.
Danida-SP-ToC14-Guatemala Most of the root causes to the civil war that ended in 1996 after 36 years are still not resolved today. Agro-export and extractive industries continue to be the main priorities for the Guatemalan economic development model, which according to all available evidence leads to high levels of conflict and benefit only the economic and political elite in the country. Although ranked as a lower middle income country, 59% of the population lives in poverty and 28% in extreme poverty. According to UNDP, 50% of Guatemala’s indigenous children suffer from severe mal nutrition. In addition, Guatemala has the second highest inequality rates in Latin America, with only 260 individuals holding more wealth than the rest of the population altogether. At the same time, domestic resource mobilization (DRM) is among the lowest in the world, which means that basic human rights and services such as health and education are left unattended. Guatemala e.g. only spends 3,2% of its GDP on education, which is generally of poor quality, monolingual and blind to cultural difference, while countries with comparable economies invest a larger share on education. The level of poverty reaches 79% among Guatemala’s indigenous populations that account for almost half the population. Indigenous peoples, women and youth are particularly exposed to violations of human rights, unemployment and exclusion from political participation and access to social services. Guatemala shows extremely horrific statistics when it comes to femicides and violence against women and perpetrators rarely face trial. In recent years, the space for civil society has narrowed and criminalisation of civil society and attacks on and threats against human rights defenders are increasingly common. Against this context, Oxfam IBIS will prioritize the following two objectives for this programme in Guatemala: Specific objective 1: Empowerment of civil society alliances to dialogue with private sector and government in order to find common ground for evidence based reform proposals to increase progressive domestic resource mobilisation and pro-poor public spending on e.g. education in Guatemala. Specific objective 2: Capacity development of women’s, youth and indigenous peoples’ leadership and organizations to enhance their voice and influence on concrete policy changes related to business & human rights, Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), access to justice, quality education, job creation, and elimination of violence against women.
DANIDA-SP2-2022-2530-DEV-Mali-22014 Women, young people and communities of Mali live in a more equal, just, peaceful and sustainable country that leaves no one behind and provides a resilient, sustainable future through just economies, gender- and climate justice
Danida-SP-ToC6-Niger Niger ranks 187 out of 188 countries in the 2015 Human Development Index. The gross enrolment ratio in primary schools is 67% for girls and 85% for boys, and the completion rate at primary level is 43% for girls and 60% for boys. Primary education suffers from insufficient quality and low education level among teachers leaving learners without skills to find jobs and create a living. The number of young people lacking fundamental skills is increasing. More than 68% of the population is under 25 years of age. Despite a high economic potential, natural resources (sun, river, desert) and abundant energy (extraction of uranium since 1971, coal since 1980, gold since 2004, and oil since 2011), the investment in the education and training sector in Niger is low and currently characterized by large discrepancies between budgetary enrolments and the discourse of political commitment to devote 25% of the general State budget to education (20% in 2010 and 15% in 2016). Moreover, the bulk of the budget is concentrated at the central level and mainly covers operational costs and staff. The transfer of the responsibility for basic social services, including education to local governments in 2014 constitutes an important step but, if to be successful, will require substantial support from central Government. The proposed project represents a move by Oxfam IBIS’ to work in Niger and has been formulated through continuous dialogue with Oxfam in Niger. It falls within the Oxfam Country Strategy as well as Oxfam IBIS’ three thematic competences: Economic & Social Justice, Education for Active Citizenship and Peace, Rights & Inclusion. The project will contribute to national gender, education and youth policies, and to the SDGs 4, 5 and 17. There is a potential for complementary interventions in collaboration with the Danish development programme in Niger (2017-2021) on fiscal justice, democratic governance and strengthening civil society, especially women’s capacities to claim their rights to education. The overall objective of the project is to ensure the rights to inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for boys and girls, young men and women in Niger. The specific objective of the project is that investments in the education and training of girls and boys and young men and women are strengthened and better managed at the local and regional level in Maradi, Tahoua and Tillabéry regions.
Danida-SP-ToC11-PAN Africa Sierra Leone During the past decade, Africa had the second fastest growing economy in the world after East Asia. However, Africa is currently home to more than 45% of the world’s poorest people and the economic progress has neither been inclusive, nor brought food security, jobs or sufficient levels of poverty eradication. Rather, it has brought excessive inequalities in the distribution of wealth, access to land and public services, such as education and health. Seven of the 20 most unequal countries in the world are on the African continent. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the ‘beyond aid’ agendas call for greater focus on domestic resource mobilization (DRM) and for sustainable and pro-poor public spending on e.g. education and health. It is apparent that the private sector – incl. foreign companies and investors - will be a key player in ensuring this financing, while it is also expected that the SDGs will create new business opportunities. A core challenge remains as tax revenues that could potentially be generated nationally and continentally are still not meeting their potential due to corporate tax evasion and avoidance, exemptions and deductions, and unfavourable contracts, combined with corruption and lack of capacity and will among national tax authorities and decision makers. Meanwhile, the space to participate in decision making for civil society, especially for youth and women, is shrinking alarmingly across the continent and awareness among citizens of the role of taxation in the social contract is not well developed. There is an urgent need to ensure that African economic growth including its commercial relations with the rest of the world becomes more inclusive, sustainable, and an enabler of DRM to achieve the SDGs (esp. 10 and 17) and the Africa Agenda 2063 by tapping into the assets and capacities of all aspects of society and empowered national institutions. Specific objective 1: Convening multi-stakeholder dialogues between civil society, private sector, investors, governments and regional institutions, aiming at progressive policy changes on DRM and pro-poor public and private investments in Africa, that enhances transparency, accountability and eliminates illicit financial flows, corruption, and inequality, and reduces dependence on external aid. Specific objective 2: Capacity development of civil society, particularly youth and women, and cross-country empowerment of citizens to act on their potentials as change agents in advocating for fair, transparent and accountable fiscal policies in the protection and advancement of their social, economic and political rights.

Danida-SP-ToC19-Global HUM We live in a time with growing humanitarian challenges - including socio-political conflicts, worsening climate-related disasters and protracted crisis situations with repeated cycles of fighting. These challenges show a great need for new ways of working at local, national, regional and global levels in order to protect human rights in crisis situations and leave no-one behind. Globally 125 M people affected by conflict and disasters are let down by their national leaders and the fractured “international community” because of failure to resolve conflicts, prevent or build resilience, tackle gender inequality and ensure access to the assistance and protection that women, men and children are entitled to receive. In Sub-Saharan Africa 1 out of 3 out-of-school children (estimate of 20M) are conflict-affected adolescents and youth. Boys and young men, girls and young women have particular protection risks e.g. of being recruited to armed forces, violated and sexually abused. In line with Denmark’s priorities, Oxfam works with the ultimate goal to protect and save lives of men, women and children, reduce suffering due to illness, insecurity and deprivation in crisis situations. In the face of escalating humanitarian demands and global commitments for change (e.g. Charter for Change, Grand Bargain and World Humanitarian Summit Commitment to Action), Oxfam is committed to change its ways of working to promote rights and dignity (link). Overall objective: Girls, boys, women and men affected by crisis gain basic life skills, knowledge and capacities to enhance their rights leading to increased resilience through coordinated community led response contributing to Sustainability Development Goal
DANIDA-SP2-2022-2530-DEV-Niger-22017 Women, young people and communities of Niger live in a more equal, just, peaceful and sustainable country that leaves no one behind and provides a resilient, sustainable future through just economies, gender- and climate justice
DANIDA-SP2-2022-2530-DEV-22005 Oxfam IBIS’ proposal for a cross-cutting strategic partnership will focus on all of the strategic priorities set out in the Danish Development Strategy and the Information Note. The change objectives of the strategic partnership proposal each respond to one of the priorities in the following way: 

The change objective “Just societies: Societies are more equal, and gender just based on inclusive democracies, human rights, accountable institutions, and a just economy” is aligned with the Danish strategic priority on Human rights and democratic values (35% of the total assigned budget). 

The change objective “Leaving No One Behind: More people enjoy their rights in dignity, living in resilient and peaceful communities before, during and after crisis” responds to the Danish strategic priority on Fragile contexts and Displacement (38% of the total assigned budget). 

The change objective “Climate Justice: Sustainable, green solutions are increasingly adopted, leading to positive and just change for those least responsible and hardest hit by climate change” embraces the Danish strategic priority on Climate and green solutions. (27% of the total assigned budget). 

In addition, Oxfam IBIS is committed to the strategic priority of enhancing local leadership and transfers of resources and power to civil society partners in the Global South.
DANIDA-SP2-2022-2530-HUM-South-Sudan-22020 Vulnerable and crisis affected people in South Sudan, particularly women and young people, live resilient, peaceful lives in the face of conflict and climatic shocks and disasters, able to advocate for and enjoy their rights

Danida-SP-ToC12-SAHELRegional,Liberia,SL West Africa (WA) and especially the Sahel sub-region, is confronted by both poverty and security threats, which can only be addressed through a strategic regional approach and transformational change. The latter will require working with youth enhancing their participation as active citizens. By 2025, more than half of the population in West Africa (WA) will be under the age of 25. These young women and men are the potential social change leaders and can either become drivers of inclusive and sustainable development in their societies, or marginalized and radicalized if not given space in decision-making fora, equal rights and access to resources, including quality education and employment. However, the space for civil society, especially for young women and men, is shrinking disturbingly and the region records the highest gender inequality rates in the world (UNDP Gender Inequality Index). Despite the adoption of legislation geared towards gender equality traditional practices, often patriarchal, and ignorance or lack of recognition of women’s Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) still prevail strongly in WA. Young women face a more restricted set of choices and opportunities than young men, preventing them from realizing their full potential. Access to quality education has long been recognized as a key component of tackling poverty, injustice and inequality, but WA remains an uneducated region. The major gains from the MDGs era are under threat and countries face new challenges related to SDG implementation. The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to overcoming the barriers to inclusion of marginalized young women and men as actors in their own right with specific needs, capabilities and rights, especially the right to quality public education and SRHR. It will build on the experiences from Oxfam IBIS’ own implementation and support to education in WA/Sahel; and the wider Oxfam’s work in WA/Sahel with youth programming and advocacy on education, gender justice, and SRHR in the “My Rights, My Voice” global programme.

DANIDA-SP2-2022-2530-HUM-Yemen-22026 Impact Objective: Vulnerable conflict and disaster affected internally displaced people and host communities live in a more equal, just, peaceful and sustainable Yemen that leaves no one behind and provides a resilient, sustainable future through just economies, gender- and climate justice.
DANIDA-SP2-2022-2530-HUM-Lebanon-22045 Project purpose: Increase access to food and basic services and enhance the resilience of 25,524 most vulnerable individuals from Lebanese Syrian, and other refugee communities affected by the Syria and multi-faceted crises in  Lebanon.
Danida-SP-ToC5-Mali-HUM Since 2012 Mali is plunged into a political-security crisis. A Peace agreement was signed in June 2015 by the government and an alliance of rebels who claimed the control of parts of the north of the country. The protracted crisis in Mali is prioritized by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In April 2017, 141,450 Malians were refugees in neighbouring countries, of which 21,000 returnees in need of assistance and 45,766 people internally displaced. This project responds to the needs identified by the HNO 2016 and by the Education cluster in Mali: recruitment, retention and training in national curricula of community facilitators to reopen abandoned schools in conflict affected areas in Northern Mali to increase the enrolment, attendance rates in schools and quality education of displaced, returned and repatriated girls and boys. It represents a move by Oxfam IBIS to work with humanitarian assistance in Mali and has been formulated through continuous dialogue with Oxfam in Mali. It falls within the Oxfam Country Strategy as well as Oxfam IBIS’ thematic competence on Education in Emergencies, and it contributes to Denmark’s strategy for humanitarian action . The overall objective of the intervention is to contribute to inclusive and equitable quality primary education, including life skills for all boys and girls in Mali. The programme contributes to achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 5, relevant for Danida’s priority fragile countries. The specific objective of the project is strengthened capacity of communities, teachers and students to improve access to inclusive, primary and accelerated quality education in a protective environment in areas affected by armed conflict in Northern Mali
