Promoting Peace and reconciliation amongst border communities in Cyangugu/Rwanda,Bubanza/Burundi,Buk This project aims to contribute to the peaceful coexistence of communities living in Cyangugu (Rwanda), Bukavu & Uvira (DRC) and Bubanza (Burundi) dioceses.
Countries in the African great lakes sub-region region have experienced repeated wars in the recent years that have created mistrust between cross-border people. A peaceful coexistence will be achieved by reducing mistrust between the populations. To achieve this, CDJP Cyangugu will establish diversified exchange and dialogue frameworks and sensitise communities on peaceful coexistence through exhibitions; as well as implementing drawing for peace with students and introducing cross-border pairings of schools and institutions in order to enhance peaceful cohabitation within the youth.  The project will also facilitate learning and exchange through workshops with stakeholders across the border, in coordination with Bukavu and Uvira dioceses.
Psychosocial project & integrated livelihoods, related to the exit period of CAFOD funding The 1994 Tutsi genocide, subsequent flight, displacement, imprisonment and poverty within the Rwandan society have greatly been at the basis of currently observed psychosocial problems. As a result, phenomena such as destruction of social values, of loss of community and family solidarity, domestic violence in families both nuclear and extended, disputes on properties, material, and land possession have increased. Financial and technical support would tremendously facilitate further the project in trauma healing and reconciliation and in preventing and reducing poverty and related social conflicts through improved livelihood of beneficiaries. 

The support to the CDJP’s previous efforts and interventions would assist in enhancing skills and knowledge of community volunteers, in increasing beneficiaries’ livelihoods and promoting participation and collaboration of different stakeholders, including local administrative leaders.   

In this regards, the current project will built on the previous project’s achievement in the area of promotion of social cohesion and reconciliation through different interventions in conflicts resolution and trauma healing. Indeed the previous project achieved remarkable results but with limited scope and depth, given the complexity of the social economic situation involved beneficiaries are involved into on a daily basis, and the number of people in need of similar support. This project comes reinforce the initiated efforts and maintain and increase community livelihood through increased dialogue between the different categories of people conflict for the promotion of social justice geared towards the promotion of wealthier and reconciled people within assisted communities. 

On the pathway to 2012-2013 , year of closure of activities of the program, and in line with the project, the Justice and Peace Commission of Kigali Archdiocese will operate in all the diocese of Kigali and especially in the two 2 districts: Nyarugenge and Rulindo that started in 2010. 

The project will cover most of parishes of rural area of the Kigali Archdiocese. 
 The Justice and Peace Commission will be implemented through a network of volunteers based at decentralized structures of the Church. Interventions will include community sensitization on Rwandan civil and criminal laws, sensitization on trauma prevention and healing, identification and support in resolving social injustice cases and promotion of community advocacy. 
To address the socio-economic aspects of conflicts and violence within households and communities, the Justice and Peace Commission will identify and support individual household beneficiaries’ income generating activities that affect trauma healing recovery sustainability. 

The project will work on the continuity of the psychosocial program’s results of CAFOD-Rwanda.
Trauma Recovery and Economic Empowerment of Rwandan Children Heading Households ARCT-RUHUKA understands that the mere psychosocial assistance cannot help achieve trauma recovery for beneficiaries if not accompanied by economic empowerment. A regular follow up and continuation of initiated activities is vital to achieve long term success. 

It is in this perspective that the present project has been elaborated to mainly follow up on the process of transferring start up capital by 100 Children Head Households to 50 families which had been selected during the previous project;

During this project the Community Psychosocial workers will be strengthened through clinical supervision by supervisors to help them better deliver counseling services to beneficiaries.  

The beneficiaries of the project (150 CHH) will be trained on saving and credits to enable them increase their income by 30% at the end of the year. 

This will be a replication of the previous project in the light of best practices and lesson learned during the implementation of the previous project. Therefore, advocacy meetings with different interveners in mental health at district level will be organized and brochures on psychological problems and success stories will be produced and distributed to community members to seek their involvement in trauma prevention and treatment.
Support programme for victims of psychological suffering in Rwanda - CDJP Kigali The Justice and Peace Commission of the archdiocese of Kigali is one of the two structures of Catholic Church involved in the programme to bring in their expertise in conflict resolution and their large implantation in the country side. After being trained in trauma healing elementary knowledge, their paralegals demonstrated an added value in peace and reconciliation taking into account the mental health of the beneficiaries. 

In 2008, they planned the building of two playing grounds to promote social and community cohesion, trainings: for 40 paralegals, 60 new APS, for 60 church and community leaders at parish and basic level. A stepping stones training session for community is planned to be done by trainers trained in the first year.  Counselling sessions for beneficiaries and clinical supervision are planned for all trauma professionals.

MAS Crisis Response Due to current status of Pakistans foreign exchange reserves, private companies in Pakistan are facing challenges in securing US$ denominated letters of credit (LCs) to import essential raw materials and equipment for ongoing operations. Many companies are operating at reduced capacities and foreseeing shutdowns due to lack of inputs for production, which could lead to large scale job losses across industries in Pakistan.       To address this critical and urgent issue, IFC proposes to make available an up to US$500 million (mn) in debt financing to select companies (the Borrowers or the Corporates) to finance their critical imports and related US$ expenses (the Project) required for business continuity. The Project is sector agnostic and individual borrowers are expected to be top tier companies with leading market position in their respective sectors and strong credit standing. Implementation of the Project is expected to facilitate Borrowers access to US$-denominated funding, which will allow them to sustain their business operations and preserve direct and indirect jobs in their operations as well as in their value chains. The Project will support the resilience of the private sector in Pakistan.
