NGO Support / Biogas as renewable energy source in Indian Villages The project aims to contribute to the improvement of the economic status and quality of life of poor subsistence farmer families in 100 villages in Mahwa Block of Dausa district (Rajasthan India) through the provision and promotion of biogas technology. It
 is a continuation of the project ?Biogas as renewable energy source in Indian villages funded by UFF and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs Finland in 2010-2012 and implemented by HPPI. The project had an overwhelmingly positive response from the beneficiar
ies and the surrounding community.To achieve the project goal 400 biogas plants are constructed and follow-up activities are planned for 200 plants constructed during phase one. The new plants are built with a contribution from the farmers themselves as we
ll as with government subsidy. From the biogas plants families have access to a clean energy form that can be used for cooking and lighting. The use of bio-slurry the by-product of the fermentation process as farm manure increases agricultural output and a
lso reduces expenditure under various heads such as energy chemical fertilizers/pesticides and irrigation. Farmers are grouped in clubs and trained in the use of the plants as well as improved agriculture techniques. Empowerment of women and improvement in
 their quality of life and health is also a key objective of the project. The adoption of biogas significantly reduces indoor air pollution directly leading to improved health. It also reduces the need for fetching firewood and time needed for cooking thus
 increasing time available for learning new skills or engaging in other productive activities. The project will promote the organization of women in Self Help Groups to create a forum where women can be trained on health + hygiene nutrition gain skills for
 income generation and common saving systems which can help them to significantly improve their family economy.The results the project will achieve over a period of three years are: 400 biogas plants installed and follow-up on previously constructed 200 pl
ants 15 masons trained for biogas plant construction agricultural productivity and yield increased 30% savings on household expenditure 100 farmers clubs and 100 women's Self Help Groups formed 200 beneficiaries getting government support for the construct
ion of the plants women's work load decreased by 2h/day indoor air pollution decreased by 80% and 20% increase in girls going to school.

NGO Support / Governance out of Box - Collection of birth and death data This application builds on the initial project for GooB which received support for 2009 to 2011 and seeks additional funding for only 1 year. The overall objective of the project is to improve the governance capacity of countries recovering from crisis and
 the Government of Liberia in particular by identifying tools and generic criteria for reinstating key functions of civil administration in post conflict environments thereby building a stable base for transparent effective and inclusive administrative pro
cesses and furthermore ensuring a successful transition from post-war reconstruction to long term development.  The focus of this application will be to strengthen government ownership and decentralization. While data collection and entry process at the lo
cal level are in principle functioning local Ministry staff needs additional training process clarification and support to ensure the sustainability of the birth registration process. Now that tools are in place given successful implementation of the initi
al GooB project this can be accomplished by strengthening the information management monitoring and reporting capacity of the MoH duty bearers for UBR.  Secondly now that a Liberia National Registry office has just recently been signed into law and a Board
 appointed in April 2012 the continuation of this project seeks to focus more strongly on supporting advocacy for integration of relevant population related processes by facilitating dialogue with relevant policy level decision makers.  This will be compli
mented by community level studies and awareness raising dialogue activities.  Lastly we will take a more in-depth look at the issues of regional migration resettlement reintegration identity and citizenship in relation to conflicts and how these must be ta
ken into account when establishing population registry systems for development.  This review which will be facilitated by regional seminars will serve to present more evidence based analysis and documentation of an informed and carefully planned process of
 establishing a model for population registration in a post conflict environment which can then be presented at the close of the project for validation.

IDA-17,The Seventeenth Replenishment of the International Development Association IDA The evolving development landscape is characterized by increased foreign direct investment (FDI) and other private flows strong growth in low- (LIC) and middle-income (MIC) countries and new patterns of trade investment and knowledge exchange among develop
ing countries.  These trends along with improved economic policies and favorable primary commodity prices contributed to notable advancements by many IDA countries in poverty reduction and other MDGs in the past decade.  A continuation of these trends woul
d also point to a pathway beyond aid dependency for LICs through increased scope to leverage global finance and knowledge for development and a historic opportunity for IDA countries to shift their development trajectories towards ending extreme poverty wi
thin a generation. Against this backdrop the new World Bank Group  strategy sets out ambitious goals to reduce extreme poverty to 3 percent by 2030 and to promote shared prosperity in a sustainable manner.  To deliver on this agenda the WBG will align its 
activities and resources to these goals, support clients in delivering development solutions by advancing knowledge of what works, and work as a One WBG by leveraging the strengths of each agency (IBRD IDA IFC and MIGA).  IDA will be the main instrument fo
r pursuing the WBG goals in the world's poorest countries home to roughly one billion people living on less than US$1.25 per day (about 80 percent of the world's poor).  Deliberate action will be required to sustain economic growth and make it more inclusi
ve across and within IDA countries as well as to address an evolving range of development challenges including fragility gender equality climate change and disaster risks.  In the face of complex challenges and constrained aid budgets these ambitious goals
 also demand making the best use of scarce resources and enhancing collaboration with development partners. In this context Participants noted that the IDA17 period which spans the target date for the MDGs and the launch of the post-2015 agenda presents a 
unique opportunity to harness the benefits of the changing global economy address evolving risks to secure the gains that have been achieved and accelerate inclusive and sustainable development. They highlighted IDA?s critical role in supporting concerted 
and accelerated action and called for an ambitious IDA17 Replenishment to maximize development impact to meet the WBG goals in IDA countries

Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) "Transport corridors in West Africa. ""Through this project a regional collective agreement is negotiated for West African transport sector, covering all important transport corridors and the minimum terms and conditions of employment. The road transport s
ector has grown rapidly over the last few years due to economic globalisation in West Africa. Privatisation, deregulation and outsourcing have fragmented the company structures in the sector. This causes a rapid change in the employment contracts towards p
recarious employment such as temporary and short-term employment. For the employees in the sector this means a weakening in terms and conditions of employment, living standards and occupational safety as well as an increasingly hostile and anti-trade union
ism environment among employers. When lobbying becomes challenging the number of members decreases, which in turn leads to trade unions losing their influence in society. The project aims at strengthening trade unions? collective bargaining and thereby imp
roving the terms and conditions of employment. After the first phase of the project West African transport sector trade unions have negotiated regional collective agreements covering the minimum terms and conditions of employment in all the countries and a
re monitoring the implementation of the agreements. Furthermore, the recruitment and membership services have become more effective and the knowledge on interest representation has increased at workplaces (border, bus stops and truck rest stops). Beneficia
ries of this project are organisers, negotiators, officers and activists of the local trade unions. The rank and file members benefit from the project in the form of better terms and condition of employment. The project is implemented by transport sector g

Good School Hyva Koulu (Good School) is a project that aims to develop the educational activities of primary schools on two levels in a suburb of Dakar Senegal.One of the objectives set out in Senegal?s national curriculum is to provide all children with instruction i
n arts subjects which is also considered one of the basic rights of children by UNESCO. Due to a lack of funds however only wealthy private schools can actually offer arts education. This creates inequality and prevents children from developing in a unifor
m manner.  The Good School project aims to give all primary school children in the Santhiaba area the opportunity to take part in arts education vital for their balanced development and to consolidate arts subjects as part of the schools' curriculum even a
fter the Finnish funding for the project comes to an end. All children participating in the project are treated equally regardless of their gender ethnic background or their family's wealth. Children with disabilities are also taken into account in the pro
ject. The project also places emphasis on familiarizing the participating schools with contemporary teaching methods. In Senegal physical punishment in schools is forbidden by law but teaching is still often based on fear. The second main goal of the proje
ct is to eradicate physical punishment by familiarizing the teachers - through arts education - with contemporary teaching methods that focus on encouragement and independent thinking and can be applied to all teaching.The children teachers schools and edu
cational authorities in the Santhiaba area will benefit from the project.The Good School project will further develop the existing structures by providing poor schools with a chance to put the national curriculum including arts education into practice. The
 project will offer primary schools in the Santhiaba area arts education courses that include visual arts music and performing arts. The project will be carried out by a local teacher-in-charge with Finnish resident artists taking part in the teaching.

NGO Support / Sustainable Livelihood in Sulawesi The Sustainable Livelihoods for Farmers in Sulawesi -project will be carried out by the Student Union of the University of Helsinki and Payo-Payo in 2013-2015. The project is the continuation of a previous project of HYY Payo-Payo and LPTP on the same them
es. This project aims at influencing agricultural policy providing better agricultural methods for farmers improving post-production methods and teaching farmers to work collectively. The main themes of the project are environmental sustainability self-sus
tainability and the empowerment of farmers. The project is directed at smallholders and landless and near landless farmers in three villages in South and West Sulawesi Indonesia. The project plans to form villages that are decently self-sufficient and sove
reign in their livelihoods. This means that the villagers should be more empowered and free from dependency on governmental institutions. The project works towards sovereignty in the use of natural resources and agricultural production by the villagers. Th
is way the villages should be able to provide sufficient livelihoods in terms of both income and food in a healthy and sustainable environment. Also the idea is to give the villagers a sense of security from the availability of basic social services in the
ir own villages to become pools of knowledge that are a source of pride for villagers and to sustain harmonious relations of villagers by keeping up collective social traditions. Payo-Payo will enhance sustainable production and agricultural practices at t
he village level. Working through farmer groups in three villages the project will strengthen the financial basis of farmer groups by improving their post-production methods and creating new forms of income. Project activities will take into account the di
fferent characteristics of each village. Tombobulu village will concentrate on post-production. In Bonne-Bonne the main theme is to continue promoting organic farming methods and in Soga to find ways to increase household incomes. The project will also cov
er policy advocacy and public education at the district level to influence government policies that in turn will support work in the field through sound policies and programs.
