HO-Empower Youth for Work PMU HO-503001 Empower youth for work is a project to create training, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for young people aged 18-25, the majority of whom are young women, in poor rural communities affected by climate change in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan.

This project will help young women and men living in poor, rural areas to earn a living, improve their chances of finding work and help their communities to adapt to climate change.

The IKEA Foundation is supporting Oxfam with a 18.7million euro grant over five years because it believes that empowering young people from poor communities to earn a living in a sustainable way will lead to better opportunities for them and their families.

The Project Management Unit for this programme is based at Oxfam Novib, The Hague: it is responsible for global project management and coordination, amongst other activities include technical advise, MEAL activities, research through the knowledge hub on governance and active citizenship, global communication and financial planning and reporting.
HJA (SOLAR) “Reducing vulnerability in Lao PDR: Advancing social protection and labour rights and entitlements in the coffee and tea sectors ofLao PDR (SOLAR)” is a new project financed by the European Union from 15 November 2021 to 14 August 2024 that aims to promote labour rights and improve access to social protection and occupational safety and health for coffee and tea sectors workers in Bolaven Plateau, Lao PDR. The project has two specific objectives:

1. Specific objective 1: Extended and improved social protection and occupational safety and health (OSH) delivery system and services at district level in the coffee and tea sectors, particularly for informal workers and women.
2. Specific objective 2: Workers in the coffee and tea sectors, particularly informal workers and women, in three contiguous districts of the Bolaven Plateau of Lao PDR are organized and empowered to promote and protect their labour rights.

The SOLAR project works in three contiguous districts of the Bolaven Plateau region of southern Lao PDR; Paksong in Champasak Province, Thateng in Sekong Province, and Lao Ngam in Salavan Province. The project’s direct beneficiaries are 400 women and men working in the coffee and tea sectors in Bolaven Plateau. They are mostly engaged in informal and vulnerable employment often unpaid and seasonal without proper employment contracts and social security coverage, and can be subject to labour rights and OSH violations as well as violence and sexual harassment in the workplace and households. Some of the workers work fluidly, by shifting between tea and coffee production on a seasonal basis.

The project’s target groups include at least 3 civil society organizations; at least 50 community leaders; the private sector including the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Lao
Coffee Association, Tea Association, small and medium enterprises, cooperatives, farmer and
producer groups, plantations, and processing plants; the Lao Federation of Trade Unions; Lao
Social Security Organization and its provincial and district offices; and the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare and its provincial departments and district offices.
NAGAAD Feminist Influencing NAGAAD Network’s campaign will support sexual assault and abuse by enhancing access to GBV specialized services and prevention information in Somaliland, particularly in drought-impacted areas, to influence Somaliland Government to fight against violenceagainst women. Women in Somaliland are disproportionately affected by climate change and the increased vulnerability can mean they experiencemore violence.
As part of our influencing campaign against VAW, NAGAAD Network will communicate effectively withkey stakeholders based in Somaliland for raising awareness of gender inequality, build support for policy change, and hold decision-makers accountable.

This idea will incorporate the use of the feminist influencing basket by contributing to the feminist influencing basket (FIB) to conduct a gender analysis of the issue of violence against women in Somaliland, to build a stronger network, and to develop a joint advocacy strategy on a specific issue, such as the right to education for girls, to identifykey stakeholders such as government stakeholders and to develop a plan to engage with these stakeholders.
CO-UG Fiscal Justice for Women & Girls The Fiscal Justice for Women and Girls project seeks to contribute to more transparent and accountable revenue generation and spending policies, through the transformation of fiscal systems to better respond to the needs of citizens, especially for womenand girlsin Africa and more specifically in Zambia and Uganda. The centrepiece of the proposed intervention is the Fair Tax Monitor tool formeasuring the fairness of domestic tax and spending systems that will be strengthened by this Action through theintegration of feminist economic analysis. This tool and the feminist economic lens will ensure evidence-based capacity building, advocacy, and civic education that responds to the needs and priorities of women in the two countries. Increased capacity ofcivil society to analyse and present complex public finance information of taxation and public spending in easy-to-understand language will in turn enable citizens to better understand and advocate for their socio-economic rights. The lead-applicant of the project is The African Women’s Development and Communications Network (FEMNET) with Oxfam Novib as its co-applicant. Parties enter into a Consortium from March 2020 until February 2023, co-operating to deliver capacity building for local, international, and national lobby and advocacy.

This is a 3-month long cash distribution project and will be implemented in partnership with local organization PDWSA under formal MoU. Target households will be identified and ranked by PDWSA with verification undertaken by Oxfam. Verified lists of cash recipients will be cross-checked with the Food Security Sector (FSS), Ministry of Social Development and Cash Working Group members to avoid duplication of assistance.
Cash distributions will take the form of 3 x €220 payments to households not in receipt of any form of cash
assistance and 2 x €220 payments to households not already in receipt of emergency cash assistance (some may be in receipt of small one-off cash payments) by Oxfam via the Bank of Palestine with whom we have an established service agreement. Each payment, which is equivalent to the minimum expenditurebasket (MEB) adopted by the Cash Working Group in Gaza, is subject to a 1.5% bank service charge and payments will be made to / redeemable by targeted households on presentation of ID cards. Verification of paymentswill be facilitated by daily cash transfer reports by banks to Oxfam and contact with cash recipients via random sampling by Oxfam. Household engagement will be accompanied by dissemination of information regarding referral services.
CO- Drought Response  in Burtinle Distri After four consecutive failing rainy seasons, extremely low rainfall during the fifth rainy season, and negative forecast for the sixth season, Somalia and the Horn of Africa are experiencing one of the most catastrophic droughts in decades. This is the second significant drought that hit the region in less than a decade which left millions of people in need for emergency assistance to meet their basic needs and avert the famine. Further deterioration of the food security and nutrition situation is expected through October – December 2022 period, with more than 7.4 million people in Somalia facing Crisis or worse (IPC Phase 3 or higher) outcomes, including 2.1 million people facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and over 213, 000 people likely in IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe).

Armed conflict and insecurity combine with escalation from the government against Al Shabab group, exacerbating the consequences of the drought and worsening the humanitarian situation. Lack of access to food increases the risk of malnutrition and together with scarcity of water, poor infrastructure, poor hygiene, and sanitation, rise the risks of disease outbreak and health issues while poor governance, underlying socio-cultural barriers, gender inequalities and recurrent protection violations, continue to affect the most vulnerable populations.

The acute impact of the drought started since early 2022 and projected to continue until March 2023, at the earliest. The devastating outcome on the economy and society will require years of support for the country and communities to recover.

Emergency Response For Flood Crisis Water Supply - 2000 households (12,000 people) will be provided with water on a daily basis through existing suppliers in the camps- Iftin, Gaduudey, Albarako, Shabeel, Wabari, Bula-cesan, Hawal-cadey- the water will be distributed for a period of one month i.e., 30 days. Each Household will receive a approximately 45 liters per day.  SADO will ensure that the water from the suppliers is treated with chlorine and testing the water for contamination. At water source, water sample will be sampled and tested for bacterial (feacal coliform and total coliform) and chemical (pH, turbidity, hardness among others) to ensure water is safe for human consumption. The SADO WASH officers will continue to monitor the water quality.  At household level, water will be treated using aqua tabs distributed among other items in the hygiene kit. Each household will receive 100 aqua tabs to be used for 3 months, based on the average volume of water per household of 45 liters per day in accordance with the Sphere Standards.

Hygiene promotion: SADO will identify hygiene promoters in Bardera districts in the targeted villages who will be trained on hygiene promotion activities and skills. 60% of these will be women and 40% men. Women will constitute a higher percentage of the hygiene promoters as they are the primary caregivers at domestic level and will therefore be able to reach other women and children. These hygiene promoters will be selected by the communities through the established Village Relief Committees as well asin consultation with SADO field teams. The aim of hygiene promotion is to promote behavioral change and good hygiene practices within the IDP camps. Their task will dissemination of IEC materials, water treatment at household level (aqua tabs)/safe waterstorage through cleaning of water containers, solid waste management (safe disposal of waste), conducting door to door hygiene campaigns and having key informant interviews with the beneficiaries and promoting hand washing with soap at critical moment (before eating, before cooking, after visiting the toilet, after changing babies nappies and before breastfeeding). Hygiene promoters will also promote the importance of using aqua-tabs and emphasize to beneficiary households the risks related to water-borne diseases. The aquatabs provided should be sufficient for three months use, assumingthat households use it at the rate of 45 liters of water treated per day (7.5 liters per household member with an average of 6 members per household).  SADO will recommendfor the use of 1 aqua tab (167 mg) for 20 litres for households whose primary source of water is turbid while for households obtaining water from non-turbid sources 67mg aqua tabs will be distributed.
Rivers project- Oxfam India Oxfam in India will implement the Transboundary Rivers of South Asia project at country level, with a focus on working with communities to increase their access to and control over water resources.  This will be achieved by (i) building capacities of river basin community leaders, communities themselves, as well as CSO networks and (ii) collaborating with authorities at different levels to improve water governance. This will include training and capacity building for women in order to increase their influence in decision-making.
Land@Scale in Chad phase 2 Scalling-Up is a development initiative aimed at contributing to the resilience of rural populations in the face of food insecurityand the effects of climate change. Therefore, the first step will be to promote access to land by young people and women vulnerableto food insecurity. This will stimulate the need to secure land for the benefit of the target people.

Ranked 186th among the 189 countries with a multidimensional poverty index, Chad is experiencing emerging land (tenure) crises intrinsically linked to the country's other crises (security, political, social, economic, etc.). As problems of secure access to land become increasingly difficult,land conflicts are also becoming more severe, with a great sense of land insecurity for most of the rural, and urban and peri-urbanpopulation. In Chad, between 85% and 90% of court cases are related to land disputes at various levels. Land conflicts are very often at the root of the deadly inter and intra-community clashes which are very frequent in the country. The livelihoods of the most vulnerable groups are negatively impacted due to: (i) land speculation and land grabbing carried out with total impunity; (ii) increased pressures on land capital due to population pressure (in some localities); (iii) climate change and humanitarian crises (refugees and internally displaced persons).

Project Bahr Linia. Aimed at developing peri-urban agriculture by improving access to water and securing agricultural land, the project Bahr Linia funded by the French Development cooperation agency (AfD), has been operating since 2016 in the area. It reflects a promise made by the late President of the Republic, Field Marshal Idriss Déby Itno. This demonstrates the interest shown by the senior Chadian authorities in issues relating to food self-sufficiency. Regarding land tenure security aspects, it should be noted that the Bahar Linia project has already developed and implemented a pilot strategy for rural land management that guarantees valorisation of agricultural land that is part of the irrigated perimeter and stabilizes local populationsby securing the various forms of rights applying in this area. It was also expected that the strategy put in place could have ultimately contributed to the adoption of land policies capable of engaging the responsibility of users in the management and conservation of land. AfD used the experience developed in other countries on ‘rural land plans’ to develop the operational strategy of the Bahr Linia project. These models are aimed at clarifying the land situation in the area, defining distribution and allocation of land resources by the actors themselves within an overall view and create the conditions for sustainable land tenure security, anchored inlocal governance systems and compatible with regulatory frameworks, by contributing to the establishment of a dialogue, local tools, fora, and mechanisms for resolving conflicts between the different actors.
CO- Oxfam Vietnam: Digital rights Promoting digital rights to access to information in Vietnam
Access to information is key to ensure the human rights and civic space in any country. In the new technology era nowadays, promoting digital rights to promote rights on access to information is very important. Currently, the Government of Vietnam is accelerating the Digital Transformation Program 2020-2025, including the 03 pillarsof the e-Government, e-Economy, and e-Society. The Vietnamese government has been committed to improving accountability governance via digital transformation, including facilitation of access to public services, and better interaction between governments and citizens. To ensure the realization of this goal, the Ministry of Information and Communications developed the Digital Transformation Index (DTI), measuring the performances of these 3 pillars. The ICT Index is a metric developed by the Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) to measure the e-Government performance. The Index on digital access to information is expected to be a sub-indexin the mentioned ICT index as part of the DTI index.
In the National digital transformation program 2021-2025, opening and sharing data, including providing information to citizens is considered an important component, expected to contribute to 30% increase in services for citizens (Ref: IPS source). 2021 is the first year that DTI was published. There are concerns that DTI needs improvements. A research prospecting the monitoring of digital RTI, in reframing RTI that is aligned and desired by GoV would offer a great entry point for the efficient promotion of RTI in practice.
In terms of synergies, a number of projects have been conducted to monitor and assess the implementation of right to information (RTI) in Vietnam. Oxfam in Vietnam has conducted annual Rights to Information (RTI) monitoring, and parts of the assessment methodology is available to be applied in this study, i.e. indicators regarding online information disclosure, state feedbacks to citizen information requests online. Monitoring experiences have demonstrated that the assessment on these indicators is a powerful driver of change. Therefore, Oxfam in Vietnam proposes to take this funding opportunity to carry out a study on digital right  to access to information focusing on state-citizen interaction, government responsiveness in government portals, open data for socio-economic development.
The study will provide inputs and proposed methodology for the development of the Index on online InformationAccess. This Index is expected to be included as a component in the ICT index of the DTI indexof the MoIC. There is a good willingness from the Information Technology of the MoIC in developing this Digital Information Access Index.
CO-Flood Response Appeal for Somalia The situation in Somalia is worsening as more districts are affected by heavy rains and flooding. According to the latest report from OCHA, 33 out of 74 districts are now flooded, up from 21 two weeks ago. The death toll has risen to 55 people, including14 children, as 14 more people were swept away by the floods. The number of people displaced by the disaster has reached 695,000, out of a total of 1.7 million people impacted. The floods have also caused extensive damage to farmland, properties, and infrastructure. Some bridges are at risk of collapsing or have already been destroyed. The Juba River is overflowing along its entire course, posing a high risk to several towns and villages. Baardheere district is the most affected in Jubbaland whereby the bridge which is an importantconnecting hub to five regions (Gedo, Bay, Bakol, lower Juba, and Middle Juba) has completely collapsed due to heavy waves of floods. According to SWALIM released flood alert, the forecast for the next week indicates more heavy rain in southern Somalia.  In Beletweyne, the catastrophe claimed the lives of 20 people and triggered a surge in the prices of essential goods, which went up by 12% after the floods and may continue to rise if the situation does not improve. The floodwaters damaged the transportation network, especially the vital bridge that links the east and west sides of the city and facilitates the delivery of food supplies from Bossaso and Galkayo. This highlights the pressing need for humanitarian aid and coordinated action to address both immediate and long-term recovery needs.
The floodwaters isolated residential areas, farmlands, and key infrastructure, resulting in significant displacement and evacuation of thousands of people. The most urgent humanitarian needs are clean water, food, shelter, and medical assistance, as there is a high risk of waterborne diseases spreading in the affected areas. However, the primary need for the affected flood communities includes the MPCA that provide quick support to withstand the shocks as the result of the flood crises. Food distribution, safewater provision and shelter are highly needed as per the joints assessments conducted both in Baardheere and Beletweyne districts of Gedo and Hiran regions.
