Country Office 501001 Novib The Need - What is the issue and why Mali?
 The idea is to better equip girls to cope with life, while also educating the communityon the status of the girl in general. This should probably improve the statistics in favor of access to information and support services on SRHR for girls.
The Intervention and rationale: Why edutainment as a strategy
The problem of access to SRHR is clearly rooted to a large degree in societal norms about education and discipline as well as gender roles and equality. Edutainment has in many cases proven to be an effective means of changing attitudes and behaviours, both among youth and older segments of a population.
Theintervention goal
The primary beneficiaries of this intervention are children and adolescents that attend primary and secondary school (girls and boys aged 6-18), although we expect to predominantly reach older children and adolescents (aged 10-18) due to the central use of technologies that younger children are less likely to have access to (, radio, computers/internet, mobile phones).

The expected outcomes of this intervention are:
Improved attitudes and behaviour among 50,000 young girls in target regions in relation to SR and STIS/Aids specifically, the number of young girls that know their rights about SR and access to right information and quality services,  perceive that violence is acceptable within schools is decreased; the number of young people that perceive that violence against women and girls is acceptable is decreased; and the numberof young people that report having witnessed, been a victim of, or perpetrated violence in the school or in community setting is decreased.
Improved knowledge, attitudes and practices related toschool-based violence among 100,000 community members  particularly key stakeholders such as teachers, school staff and parents  intarget regions.
Piloting custumized agro-climate forecas Poor women and men at risk of climate change hazards and disasters are informed and empowered to voice their concerns, needs and aspirations, as well as to make and negotiate appropriate decisions to protect their interests and livelihood. The project duration isfrom August 2013 to Mar 2016.  Total approved budget of threes year is US$231,000.

1. Poor women and men, particularly ethnic minorities, have enhanced awareness and confidence toshape, claim and receive required information and services to adapt their crop calendar and farming system to consequences of climate change.
2. Provincial department of agriculture and rural development (DARD) and hydro-met stations have strong capacityto collect and analyze biological and meteorological data for crop-weather simulation and the development of agro-climatic forecasts
3. A farmers #customized agro-climate forecast and information system (between national and grass root levels) is institutionalized and presented in relevant workshops, networks for dissemination and advocacy.
Target Groups

CO-503001 This grant will contribute to Oxfam#s regional and international advocacy and campaigns work relating to the Syria crisis, which iscarried out under the banner of the Syria Rights in Crisis Campaign. It will build upon a recent literature review regarding the situation of Syrian refugees in Turkey, conducted by Oxfam and Bielefeld University, which highlighted the data gap relating to refugees in Turkey, and in particular a serious lack of comprehensive, statistically reliable, up to date information, especially for the vast majority of refugees living outside camps.  This presents serious challenges to the development of effective longer-term development strategies that would support Syrians in Turkey to access rights and services, and to pave the way towards improved social cohesion between host and refugee communities.

Private Sector Resilience Regional Oxfam in Asia has identified that the Private Sector (PS) has a crucial role in building resilience to disaster and climate risks for their businesses, for small food producers and processors. Oxfam has expertise on pro poor resilience in Asia but lacks the capacity, especially at national levels across the South to develop and demonstrate that capacity to the private sector. Without the right propositions, networks and access Oxfam will not be able to adequately influence the corporate sector and their consumers, suppliers and government partners. This project will swiftly and significantly address that missed opportunity.
With commitment from six countries in the region (Vietnam, Pakistan, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines and India), the project serves Oxfam advocacy in 2015 # 2017 and to develop the Private Sector Resilience Regional Program with following activities:
(1) Conducting multi-country research acrosscountry teams on opportunities and roles of Oxfam (Jan # June 2015)
(2) Program development (including internal assessments, donor mapping, consultancy for developing proposals) (Mar # Dec 2015)
(3) Engaging agri-business and finance companies (through discussions, workshops and pilot activities) (Mar # Dec 2015)

BE, Fair Finance Guide International This is part of the BankWiser project.

BankWiser International (BWI) is a project that organises and aims to create additional civil society capacity in 7 countries (Belgium, Brazil, France, Indonesia, Japan, Netherlands, and Sweden) to evaluate and monitor major commercial banks policies and practices, and to mobilize bank clients to request a more responsible banking sector. The project establishes a methodology for research and analysis of bank policies and practices, provides evidence-based support for critical dialogues with banks, and stimulates campaigning and agenda-setting on regulatory policies, social responsibility and development relevance of the main banks. The project builds on a pioneering model developed in the Netherlands since 2009, which was followed by a similar initiative in Brazil in 2012, both of which demonstrate leverage and potential for bringing about change.

BWI will fill the gap of a global and comparable standard for responsible banking, which is based on widely accepted international norms and conventions. It will unite various civil society interests covering the broad social and environmental issues which banks impact. The project is expected to lead to improvements in the CSR policies and practices of banks, more informed engagement by the public, and more awareness and debate about banks responsibilities toward society.
Country Office 506696 Oxam Novib Vietnam Oxfam in Vietnam is to conduct policy research on thematic issue No 1 in UNDP#s RFP. This thematic research is based on PAPI dimension 1, #Participation at Local Levels#, and expands on the four sub-dimensions of Civic Knowledge, Opportunities for Participation, Quality of Elections and Voluntary Contributions to analyze trends of citizen involvement in policy-making and suggest policy responses for improved governance quality. Oxfam#s research team, made up of three in-house experts on governance and advocacy, will employ a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis to understand the Vietnamese context and provide concrete recommendations for policy-makers, donors and civil society actors.
The proposed research links strongly with Oxfam#s Vietnam country strategy (2015-19) which calls for expanding Vietnamese citizens# capacity to participate in and to influence decisions that shape people#s lives. Oxfam understands governance as a process of public decision-making carried out by governments, other formal and informal decision making institutions, and citizens.[1] Governance includes both #the rules of the game# that govern political, economic and social life, plus the reality of #how the game is played#: who engages in which decisions, and on what terms.[2] Good governance should be representative (reflecting the voices and needs of the governed), transparent (following recognized laws and procedures), and accountable (subject to scrutiny and consent of citizens, with a strong role for civil society).
