It is implemented in over 20 countries in Africa and coordinated by HIV service. Bible Society of Cote d'Ivoire (BSCI) has the main responsibility in the grass root level 
implementation.The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of the spread of HIV and stigmatization of people infected and affected. Project aims to involve church partners and communities to  HIV work. In the core of the GSP are 
human rights: PLHA as well as their families deserve to be treated equally with other members of the society. Rights based and gender sensitive approach is directly linked with Christian values. GSP is contributing to the Cote d?Ivoire national policies wh
ere reducing the stigma of PLHA and avoid new infections are the prioritiesGood Samaritan program will not intervene directly in the sector of health care but use partnership and guide people in need to the suitable aid providers. However through communica
tion advocacy and disseminating adequate health information GSP has means to change opinions and contribute to the common goals defined by UNAIDSGSP trainings are based on multimedia package which includes booklets videos and flipcharts for trainees and ma

among couples GSP also focuses on pregnant women and couples. Objective is to raise awareness and responsible behavior and prevent parent to child transmiss
Building the Western Saharan Civil Society of Tomorrow Western Sahara has been living admist conflict for several decades. The Western Saharan people have been geographically divided during this time with a majority living in refugee camps in Algeria some in the occupied territories of Western Sahara and yet o
thers in the diaspora in various countries in Europe and Cuba amongst others.The targert group of the project are the young people. Young Saharawis have  little contact to those living elsewhere nord o they have the capacity to build a joint future Western
 Saharan society. The youth living in the camps have a dire  outlook for their future and poor employment opportunities of the youth pose a severe challenge. Frustration is widespread amongst the young people. In the project young people organize workshops
 for other young people. The workshops provide the participants with tools and capabilities for societal participation and a basis for building a joint Saharawi civil society.  Youth from the camps occupied territories and the diaspora especially European 
nations and Cuba will participate in the workshops. The project is carried out in cooperation with the umbrella organization for the Western Saharan students UESARIO. The project builds on UESARIO?s previous experience with similar workshop activities and 
models that have alreaday proven to function well will be developed further.The workshops deal with the topic os strenthening the role of women in the future Western Sahara. Gender equality will be considered both thematically as well as with ensuring a ce
rtain percentage of female participants.The workshops also deal with youth leadership and political education. The moderators of the workshops are all young themselves. However also older political actors will visit the workshops furthuring intergeneration
al dialogue..

Organizational Capacity Building for Environmental Education and Community Development The project continues to further enhance the two goals: to strengthen the organisational capacity of Green Living Movement Swaziland (GLM Swaziland) and to increase knowledge on environmental issues in the cooperation communities. During the first project 
GLM Swaziland has gained skills in several organisational areas and know-how on project management. They have made valuable networks on national level with such high-level actors as the Ministry of Health Ministry of Agriculture University of Swaziland and
 the WASH-forum to name a few. However two years for a newly established organisation to become an acknowledged actor in Swaziland requires more time and effort. E.g. GLM Swaziland is involved in extending of PELUM Association to Swaziland which is a major
 regional network for members of the civil society in Africa. Moreover NGO members of WASH have approached the project with requests on training themes to develop their organisational and project management skills.In the project communities various trainin
gs have been provided on e.g. dry sanitation agroforestry and waste management. Especially in Dlangeni acceptation has been enthusiastic and communities are asking for practical training and input so that they can actualise the lessons learnt. Furthermore 
the Ministry of Health has requested GLM Swaziland to facilitate on dry sanitation to mandated committees of rural communities attending regularly their workshops on water systems. Cooperation with another local NGO Vusumnotfo has lead to inclusion of Ngon
ini region in dry sanitation extending GLM Swaziland's area of operation spatially further.The project will continue with its Training of Trainers (ToT) in spreading of educated themes further. Through actualisation and visible results of the trained theme
s will attract even more target groups.The project will develop the already existing structures in Msunduza and in Dlangeni whereas cooperation is extended to a new project area Ngonini. Additionally the network created during the first project with the WA
SH-forum and the Ministry of Health enables inclusion of new beneficiary groups to GLM's trainings.During the first phase of the project GLM has worked with the communities emphasizing women participation and their empowerment resulting in workshop partici
pants and Trainers of Trainers consisting mostly of women. Promotion of gender issues and support of the rural women will continue in the second phase of the project.

that they are complementary and that mechanisms to accomplish complementarity are there. The evaluation will expose the dimensions of internal complementarity between the actors and the instruments of Finland and the dimensions of external complementarity 
with other actors and instruments in development.  It will look at the overall development policy and cooperation of Finland and how complementarity is depicted therein how the measures to ensure complementarity have been instituted and how the respective 
responsibilities distributed and addressed at different levels. The special case-evaluations are:1)Development policy analyse,2) NGO-instrument overall and including special case of three NGOs that are participating also in delivering humanitarian aid as w
ell as the INGO dimension and LFCs in countries that are visited 3)IKI-instrument as a whole and4)country programmes of Mozambique and Zambia as desk studies including country-level information emerging from the other two case-evaluations as appropriate.

MYA/Geology ICI Reduction of poverty protection of the environment and promotion of equality democracy and human rights are fundamental goals for sustainable development. In this context the mineral sector has a continually growing role. The geo-sector forms a basis not o
nly for the use of natural resources but for a considerable part of environment monitoring and protection. Therefore long term good governance and proper management of the whole sector prerequisites good geo-information system. In general the lack of a pro
per information management system hinders: ? Modern communication between governmental institutions and potential user agencies ? Access to information supplied by mining operators and mining institutions ? Effective promotion of the mineral sector in Myan
mar ? Cross border environmental monitoring and mineral prospecting ? Improved good governance in the field of natural resources ? Transparency of the licensing system in order to minimize corruption Myanmar is a typical country at the early phase of devel
opment where versatile earth-scientific data and information are required to respond to various plans of infrastructure and resources development. Sustainable use of land and its resources cannot take place without data and information on their characteris
tics. These needs could be best achieved by developing a ?National Geo-information Centre?.

oal is to promote the respect for human rights and the reduction of discrimination against transgender people by human rights education and training. The project specific objectives are the awareness raising about the Hijras? rights among human rights defe
nders and educators, as well as important reference groups,  to impact the surrounding community in such a way that it recognizes hijras human dignity, hijras empowerment of human rights through education and training so that they would advocate for their 
rights . The project legal focus is the promotion of the rights of gender minorities. The primary beneficiaries of the project are the Hijra community members and their leaders whose status and social participation is expected to improve . The indirect ben
eficiaries are the parents of transgender people who get more information about hijras. The project is expected to benefit the wider community leaders, legislators, NGOs, teachers and doctors by raising awareness of gender minorities and their rights. Loke
