FLC: Human Rights Network - Uganda Civil Society Organizations Synergy for Peace and Justice in Uganda Human Rights Network ? Uganda (HURINET-U) has so far implemented successfully the 3rd phase of the project titled; CSOs Synergy for peace and justice.  The third project was a progression of the work that had been done with support of the Finnish Embassy o
n peace building human rights promotion training workshops with advocacy elements. This work enabled HURINET make a remarkable progress in its previous project implementation activities ranging from peace building and human rights promotion training worksh
ops and through engagement on cross border issues. The capacity building of the different stakeholders through trainings and dialogues helped in providing a platform for the different stakeholders to not only share with each other knowledge and best practi
ces but also strengthening working relation and joint campaigns in the promotion and protection of human rights. The environment in Uganda continues to be very harsh towards the area of Human Rights with political heads specifically targeting to tarnish th
e names and reputations of Human Rights organizations and peace actors. The Country continues its journey towards becoming a militarized state as the duties of the police and the army continues to overlap each other. The intervention of the government in t
he work of the Legislature as well as the Judiciary has taken an even more interesting turn with the president calling for National Resistance Movement (NRM) caucus meetings to influence the decisions of Parliament and even judiciary. The government also c
ontinues to be threatened by any human rights advocacy. On two occasions government representatives at district level (Resident District Commissioners) have stopped interventions under the Synergy for Peace and Justice Project. Radio talk shows focusing on
 the role of security agencies in cross border conflict have been stopped at the last moment due to the threat towards government. Human rights enjoyment and realization continue to deteriorate with more stringent laws such as NGO Act and the recent public
 order management bill (POMB) which was recently passed amidst the general public outcry as it requires planned meetings to be submitted to police a week in advance and allows to prevent a public meeting if they deem it a breach of peace as such it narrow 
political participation. All these bad laws if not repealed with curtail and narrow the operating space for human rights defenders peace builders and the general public.

FLC: Shield for Justice - Access to justice for witnesses and victims of human rights violations free from intimidation and compromise Since inception devolution has continued experienced teething problems and power wrangles between the National and County governments. County governments have also experienced in-fighting and corruption. It is anticipated that this will continue for most o
f 2015 and start cooling off in 2016. It is projected that the residual aspect of this struggle will be the clamour for increased resource allocation by county governments. The effect of all this will be politicization of genuine issues of governance and o
vershadowing in the media of other core matters affecting the public (e.g. human rights violations) by news coverage of these power wrangles which media houses seem to relish. Further at both county and national level it is expected that activists champion
ing reforms and calling for accountability for bad governance will face opposition intimidation and threats. Organizations and activists operating at county level are likely to be more vulnerable than those functioning at national level.The change of the s
ystem of governance and the implementation of the new constitution resulted in the increase of state expenditure. This has led to a strain in the financial resources in government. Further consequences include industrial action by civil servants opposition
 to reforms by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission the increase oftaxation on Kenyans increase of cost of living and redundancy. The national pulse for stress among Kenyans is growing and this is reflected in various expressions of violence especially
 in the form of diverse kinds of conflicts connected to access to resources. It is anticipated that this will persist upto 2017 and will form the basis for political campaigns by aspirants. Increased politicization and propaganda by the ruling coalition of
 the advocacy efforts of CSOs in challenging impunity has weakened the sector through intimidation threats and discouragement.  Solidarity among CSOs is at an all-time low because of fear of reprisals and mistrust among organizations. The Deputy President?
s case at the ICC is at an advanced and crucial stage. This means that witnesses their families and intermediaries are still subject to ridicule intimidation and possible aggression with attendant anxiety and other forms of psychological harm. It is projec
t that this matter will not be concluded until late 2016.

F.a: Strengthening of Domestic Workers' Rights The project improves the capacity of domestic workers to defend their rights and prepares them to lobby and influence politically to improve the working conditions of domestic workers in Ecuador. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of knowledge among
 domestic workers about their legal rights and inability to defend themselves against the employers. In general this is because the low education level and and lack of basic knowledge on rights. The project intends to respond to this challenge by empowerin
g young girls and boys who work as domestic workers to know their legal rights and to defend them with the help of Domestic Workers’ Union ATRH. Besides, the project tries to improve the general appreciation of their work, and to improve the profile of d
omestic workers by professionalizing their work which is often invisible in the society. The activities consist of training, diffusion of knowledge on rights, organizing workers in the ATRH union, advocacy work towards the authorities, and legal assistance
 to domestic workers in conflict situations. As a result of the project, domestic workers in six provinces (Guayas, Esmeraldas, Los Ríos, Pichincha, Jipijapa ja Machala) have better knowledge on their labor rights, young activists in ATRH have capacity to
 use the information about trade union rights, labor legislation, social security, occupational health and safety and know how to work with authorities. ATRH union members get legal assistance if they have problems with the employer, the membership of ATRH
 has increased and ATRH is a stronger player in national level, and the public knowledge on domestic workers rights has increased. The direct beneficiaries are the 300 ATRH members who participate in project activities and training. In the long run, all 30
0 000 domestic workers in Ecuador will benefit from the improvements in labor legislation that ATRH has advocated. The project is implemented by Domestic Workers Union (ATRH). The union is a relatively strong player in Ecuador, although the sector it repre
sents is one of the most difficult to organize. ATRH has managed to negotiate and advocate very important improvements to the work and rights of domestic workers and it has a working relationship with the government.

FLC: WILDAF / Promoting Women?s Participation in Democratic and Electoral Process PYM/ WiLDAFNaisten demokraattisen osallistumisen edistäminen Despite efforts from government development partners and civil society organisations to build the capacity of women candidates and to advocate with political parties and law-making institutions the number of women as elected parliamentarians dropped from 1
4% in 2006 to 11.4% in 2011; and the number of women elected as councillors remained unchanged at the low level of 6.1%. The voter turn-out in the 2011 elections also decreased to 54% from 71% in 2006 and 68% in 2001. Registered voters in Zambia are overwh
elmingly young with 54% aged between 18 to 35 and the previous elections showed a large proportion of first time voters (25% of registered voters). Still most young people especially young women lack knowledge about democratic and electoral processes and b
asic civic awareness to be able to meaningfully participate in political and decision-making processes. Against this context WiLDAF?s project aims to increase meaningful participation and representation of women and girls in electoral and democratic proces
s in six districts of Zambia. Specifically the proposed initiative seeks to achieve three interrelated results: 1) Increasing number of women as elected candidates in the 2016 local elections through mainstreaming gender into the existing legal and elector
al framework advocacy with political parties for formulation and adoption of gender-positive measures or quota system in the party capacity building of prospective women candidates and organisation of regional network forum for prospective women candidates
 and women?s party leagues for experience and information sharing; 2) Enhancing capacity of young women to actively and meaningfully participate in democratic and electoral process through establishment and support of well-functioning girls? clubs promotio
n of youth debates on democratic and electoral issues and increasing community awareness on key democratic concepts and electoral process; and3) Strengthening democratic process and practices at the local level through state and non-state dialogue mechanis
m to increase the focus on women?s issues and enhance the culture of constructive interaction between the two actors. The project?s direct beneficiaries are the prospective women candidates for the council election in 2016 and women from women?s leagues of
 key political parties young women and men aged 16 to 25 and community members including religious and traditional leaders parents and teachers. WiLDAFin hanke edistää naisten osallistumista päätöksentekoon. Hankkeen puitteissa koulutetaan naisehdokkaita kaikista eri valtapuolueista sekä kannustetaan puolueita sisällyttämään tasa-arvoasiat osaksi puoluepolitiikkaa. Hanke toimii myös nuor
ten parissa edistäen nuorten osallistumista päätöksentekoon. Naisten asema päätöksenteossa on kaikissa koulutuksissa pääteemana.

Reconstruction of Somalia Jälleenrakennus CDRD rahaston kautta The support is channeled to Somalia through CDRD (Community-Driven Recovery and Development) co-fund that supports Somali reconstruction and development. Reconstruction and stabilization and capacity building of local government are important in Somalia wh
ich is emerging from a long period of violence.The CDRD project is at its third implementation phase. During this phase support to reconstruction and stabilization is directed to the central and southern Somalia namely to two districts (Hiraan and Benadir 
district municipal areas). Communities are supported so that they are able to design and implement reconstruction and development projects. In order to ensure wider comprehensiveness and sustainability of the project local government structures will be str
engthened and their capacity development will be supported.  As a result the communities have been empowered in the selected districts target areas local government structures have become stronger and are better able to respond to the development and secur
ity needs of the community. Further members of the targeted communities are able to define and discuss the differences in a constructive spirit and they have improved access to social and economic services. CDRC approach was originally developed by the Wor
ld Bank. In Somalia Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is responsible for CDRC's implementation. Hankkeessa tuetaan Somalian jälleenrakennusta ja kehitystä edistäviä hankkeita CDRD ( Community Driven Recovery and Development) yhteisrahaston kautta. Yhteisöjen jälleenrakentaminen ja vakauttaminen sekä paikallishallinnon kapasiteetin vahvistamise
n tukeminen on tärkeää Somaliassa joka on toipumassa pitkän väkivallan jakson jälkeen. Nyt käynnissä on CDRD:n kolmas vaihe jonka aikana tuetaan yhteisöjen jälleenrakentamista ja vakautumista niin Keski- ja Etelä-Somalian alueella (Hiraanin ja B
enadirin piirikuntien alueilla). Yhteisöjä tuetaan niin että ne pystyvät itse suunnittelemaan ja toteuttamaan jälleenrakennus ja kehitysprojekteja. Kokonaisvaltaisuuden ja kestävyyden takaamiseksi yhteisöjen voimaantumisen ohella tukea suunnataan my
ös kohdealueiden paikallishallinnon vahvistamiseen ja sen kapasiteetin kehittämiseen. Hankkeen tuloksena valittujen piirikuntien kohdealueiden yhteisöt ovat voimaantuneet paikallishallinnon rakenteet ovat vahvistuneet ja pystyvät paremmin vastaamaan yh
teisönkehitys- ja turvallisuustarpeisiin yhteisöjen jäsenet pystyvät määrittelemään ja keskustelemaan erimielisyyksistä rakentavassa hengessä sekä heillä on parantunut pääsy sosiaalisia ja taloudellisia palveluja tarjoavien infrastruktuurin p
ariin. CDRC lähestymistapa on alun perin maailmanpankin kehittämä. Somaliassa Danish Refugee Council (DRC) vastaa CDRC:n toteuttamisesta.
