Frame Agreement with NGO (Finn Church Aid) The pilot project will be based on the thematic needs assessment conducted in 2014. FCA?s global work on the right to livelihoods focuses on small-scale agriculture, including increasing resilience of communities to shocks and hazards which may affect thei
r livelihoods. This focus is key in the oPT given the high levels of food insecurity, low economic opportunities, and the regular shocks (including conflict and natural disasters) which communities are subject to.  Continued support to particularly vulnera
ble groups who may rely on agriculture as a source of income and subsistence addresses a key need, including in relation to building community and household resilience. Based on the recommendations from the IOPT thematic needs assessment conducted, a pilot
 project will be implemented by a (local) Palestinian NGO, working on integrating rural development in Palestine through economic and social empowerment of cooperatives, individuals and marginalised groups. The partner will be selected and assessed in 4th 
quarter of 2014 and in early 2015.Objectives:Building the capacity of cooperative members and developing respective institutional frameworks,Providing infrastructure support needed for sustainable development within the immediate scope of the project,Rural
 Production Support.The planned outcome will be to establish a solid working relationship with a new Palestinian partner, in order to explore more innovative ways of working in oPT. Rights-holders /beneficiaries: Youth, especially young women, to be define
d during project formulation with selected partner.
Frame Agreement with NGO (Plan International Finland Foundation) The project supports the provision of early childhood care and development support to children (0-8 years) in Oromiya and SNNP Region.ECCD services are accessible to around 21.6 % of Ethiopian children only and these services are concentrated in big cities
 and towns with low coverage in rural areas.The limited available services are unaffordable to the poor and not friendly to children with disabilities. This means, children from families with low socio-economic status, orphans and children with disabilitie
s are denied the right to early child care and learning and less likely to benefit from the existing services. The ECCD project in Ethiopia establishes and supports low cost and community managed ECCD centers and enrolls children (ages 4-6) to early childh
ood education programs that promote cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. It also enhances the skills, knowledge and attitude of parents and guardians and the community and schools to support children?s development from birth to eight year
s. The primary beneficiaries of the project are children (0-8years), as well as parents, guardians in 8 Kebeles (smallest administrative unit of Ethiopia) in Toke Kutaye and Bolososorie Districts of Oromiya and SNNP regions respectively. RATSAN (national N
GO) is the implementing local partner, working in close collaboration with District Education office. The overall project implementation is led by Plan International Ethiopia
Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) The project strengthens the industrial trade unions of Malawi by increasing union density, improving rights awareness and developing cooperation between unions. First there will be a mapping to find out the primary organizing target companies and areas, an
d based on that a more detailed campaign plan will be elaborated, after which shop stewards, leaders and activists participate in organizing skills training and start recruiting at workplace level. Current and new members will benefit from training on basi
c rights that is expected to create a basis for active union work and help identify future shop stewards and leaders. In the poor country of Malawi workers face almost all problems one can imagine from low salaries to inadequate health and safety measures 
and poor awareness level to union hostile attitudes of employers. By strengthening the unions the workers will get a credible actor to defend their interests and improve the living conditions of workers and their families. As immediate results the union me
mbership numbers will grow and workers? awareness and knowledge levels will increase. The beneficiaries are industrial workers and their four unions. The project is implemented by IndustriALL Global Union and its Malawian affiliates Building, Construction,
 Civil Engineering and Allied Workers Union (BCCEAWU), Textile, Garment, Leather, Security Services and Allied Workers Union (TGLSSEWU), Commercial, Industrial and Allied Workers Union (CIAWU) and Chemical, Energy, Mines and Allied Workers Union (CEMAWU).

The dissemination of clean-burning pyrolytic stoves in Greater Mumbai CED will produce together with Social Activities Integration 30 000 improved cooking stoves and replace one third of the 100 000 most polluting cooking stoves in the Greater Mumbai area with them. If this first stage of the project will be succesfull CED w
ill apply further funding for two other 3-year continuation projects the aim of which is to replace also the remaining highly polluting stoves with SAI stoves (=extremely clean-burning stoves planned and designed by the world- famous improved stoves expert
 Saibashkar Nakka Reddy together with the SAI personnel). If the project and its continuation phases will succeed in replacing the 100 000 most polluting cooking stoves in the Greater Mumbai areas with SAI stoves this should both benefit the 100 000 poores
t households in the area (because they will need less cooking energy) and improve the air quality in an area inhabited by more than 20 million people.  We do not have precise numbers but it seems likely (obvious) that the mentioned 100 000 highly polluting
 cooking stoves are responsible for a significant perecentage of all parcticulate emissions released into the air in the Greater Mumbai area. The 100 000 highly polluting stoves cannot be replaced with better stoves without subsidizing the production becau
se they are used by the poorest households that cannot afford kerosene electricity or liquid gas and that have not this far even been able to invest in better coing stoves. According to our prior experience (based on 2 500 SAI stoves that have already been
 manufactured and sold for the poor households in Mumbai by SAI) the poor families will by and adopt improved clean-burning and energy-saving stoves if their price is reduced to an affordable level (from their perspective) with a subsidy of 5 or 5.5 euros 
per cooking stove. This means that might be possible to significantly improve the air quality in the Greater Mumbai region by investing 0.025 euros per inhabitant in subsidies on improved cooking stoves sold for the poor families.  Or at least SAI our coop
eration partner in Mumbai thinks that it would be possible to achieve something like this with approximately 500 000 euros in 9-10 years.

General Budget Support 2015-2016 General Budget Support is one of the main development aid instruments in the Mozambique Country Strategy (2014-2017). Finland's participation in General Budget Support gives the possibility to influence Mozambique's development in a comprehensive way and a
llows for political dialogue at high level. The decision on how the General Budget Support funds are used is made by the Parliament of Mozambique. General Budget Support promotes responsible and transparent use of public resources and strengthens national 
systems.  General Budget Support supports the main objectives of the Poverty Reduction Plan PARP (2011-2014 extended to 2015), poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth. The proposal is to allocate 6 million Euros per year in total 12 million Euros
 for the period of 2015-2016 to General Budget Support in Mozambique. The OECD/DAC Budget Support evaluation (years 2005-2012) concluded that General Budget Support in Mozambique has been an effective way to fund the government budget and the best instrume
nt in ensuring predictability of aid. Budget Support has contributed to major improvements particularly in the education sector. In primary education 40% more children were at school in 2012 in comparison with 2004. Total spending on priority sectors (i.a.
 education health and agriculture) has quadrupled over 2005-2012 with the general budget support. The public finance management has improved substantially. However the general budget support has not been succesful in reducing income poverty. Poverty declin
ed significantly between the years 1996/7 and 2002/3 from 69 per cent to 54 per cent the pace has slowed down since then. The malnutrition of children is still a major challenge.
