d training in hygiene and basic healthcare midwifery veterinary skills- Set up 3 pilot MLE preschoolsA conclusive review of all the national policy papers concerning literacy work in Nepal indicates that the objectives and activities of this project are cl
early in line with the strategic plans and policies of the government of Nepal. During a meeting in March 2008 between NELHOS the Ministry of Education and the Non Formal Education Centre (NFEC) the government representatives were very interested in the Lh
omi project. Additionally Nepal?s most recent PRSP has been used as a reference point to lend more legitimacy to the project?s activities. There are two targets in the PRSP that are directly taken into account through this project:1. To improve literacy ra
tes of people over 15 years old2. To increase literacy rates of women and girls over 15 years oldThe project?s ethos is influenced by international development policy objectives including the eradication of poverty through increased education promotion of 
women?s empowerment and gender equality use of environmentally friendly technology and the promotion of education as a basic human right. NELHOS seeks to improve the economic and social position of the Lhomi people through providing mother tongue education
 to Nepal?s Lhomi community in combination with vocational training. The link between education and poverty reduction is widely acknowledged in the international community. The project will also give women and girls a second chance to learn to read and wri
te in Lhomi and Nepali. Approximately 85% of the project?s participants in the first stage were women, this was very successful.In order to accomplish the project?s objectives the following activities will take place:- Set up community development committe
es in 18 villages- Manage an adult literacy program- Set up 3 MLE pilot preschools- Provide vocational training- Build NELHOS?s capacities

Local Cooperation Fund (LCF) in Kenya The Kenya National federation of Agricultural Producers (KENFAP) is a non-political non-profit making and democratic member-based umbrella organization of all farmers in Kenya. It represents the interests of about 2 million farm families and the agricultur
e sector in general. It is the legitimate farmers' voice with the objective of articulating issues affecting them through focused lobby and advocacy targeted capacity building and promotion of sector stakeholders' cohesiveness in dispensing and progressive
 uptake of agricultural innovations for enhanced socio-economic status of the farmers.The smallholder farmers in Kenya continue to remain trapped in poverty hunger and malnutrition due to lack of sustainable livelihood mechanisms at their disposal. They ar
e relatively a marginalized group whose right to quality and nutritious food all the time good health and clothing remains compromised. Poverty is both a social and a human right issue. The production and marketing functions of agricultural commodities are
 also affected by land degradation due to over usage of the land parcels high cost and overly inaccessible inputs inferior planting materials low prices at farm gate level and lack of market information to the producers. Women and the youth participation i
n agriculture is limited as the ownership of most of factors of production is by men. Women and the youth are not involved in decisions making processes. This is a social concern as well as a development concern owing to the fact that most often the two gr
oups are the ones left to perpetuate life in future generations. There is need to have the youth and women to be part of planning and implementing development initiatives hence equal access to productive resources by all. Sensitization on human rights is l
eft to the human rights organizations which are not sector specific. They are general and not detailed. Kenyan governance has been devolved in view of the Kenya constitution 2010. That brings closer to the rural community the opportunities for having their
 concerns addressed. However real time to articulate those rights violation levels proper packaging and communication of the concerns considerably lacks among the farming community. As such the agricultural communities need to be informed on their fundamen
tal sector specific inherent rights to be able to effectively make the rightful decisions and actions.

Institute for Sustainable Develoment Many countries of the South need to enhance their capacity for designing national policies and dialogue. While recognising wider global needs the proposed institute will initially focus on the East African region and selected themes such as global trade an
d environment issues. Countries of this region have entered into trade and economic agreements that have imposed constraints and opportunities to their national development policy regimes. The value-added of this institution will be to add capacities in th
e region to analyse and evaluate the implications of regional and international agreements on their national policy regimes. Understanding the implications of trade and economic agreements on national policy will not only make them relevant to the global d
evelopments but it will also support the shaping of global agreements to suit national and regional priorities.

Frame agreement with NGO (SASK) "Strengthening the West African Health Sector Unions. ""The project strengthens the West African health sector trade union network?s knowledge and awareness of regional organisations? modes of operation and decision making policies, so that trade unions ca
n influence the decision-making in them. For public sector workers, trade union activity and advocacy in West African countries is very difficult. The rights of public sector workers to organise have been severely restricted and the sector's trade unions a
re not officially recognised by the central government as negotiating partners. In addition, trade union members and union leaders are threatened and pressured to give up advocacy work and trade union activities. The project strengthens the knowledge of We
st African trade unions? officers, education officers and presidents on decision-making processes in multilateral institutions. As a result, they will be able to influence health care and social policies in the region. In the first phase of the project nat
ional plans of action are prepared. The plans of action will direct the lobbying to essential ministries and country representatives of multilateral institutions. The beneficiaries of the project are the West African health sector workers, most of whom are
 women, whose position in the labour market system improves as a result of the more worker friendly legislation. The project is implemented by public sector global union federation Public Services International (PSI)."""

RaTas: Network Against Gender Based Violence in The Gambia The Desk Review on GBV in The Gambia report revealed that the health system does not have formal protocols or procedures for caring for survivors of gender-based violence. It is not clear how far health providers are trained on the proper procedures for re
sponding to GBV ranging from the provision of privacy and confidentiality to the collection of forensic evidence the conducting of safety plans and the referral of survivors to other services such as legal aid or counseling.  Interviews with few nurses dur
ing the desk review indicated that when a woman goes to a hospital or health  center for GBV-related injuries health providers do little more than treat the physical effects of violence usually only in the most extreme cases when survivors do attend health
 centers.
