Frame agreement with NGO (Suomen Lahetysseura ry) The project supports the community based rehabilitation work of the Thuso Rehabilitation Center in the northern communities of Botswana. The project brings the rehabilitation services close to the people with disabilities (PWD?s) in their own living enviro
nment. The rehabilitation team reaches out to and registers new PWD?s, follows up the progress of rehabilitation in homes, as well as educates and helps village communities in supporting and integrating the PWD?s in the community activities.Northern Botswa
na is a sparsely populated semi-dry savanna area where the distances between villages are long. The PWD?s do not have access to rehabilitation services. In addition, the lack of knowledge and attitudes of villagers towards disability further delay the PWD?
s from seeking rehabilitation and prevents them from becoming full members of the society. The project brings rehabilitation treatments to the PWD?s and promotes their independent living at home and in the community.As a result of the project the health si
tuation of 400 PWD' has improved and the disability related skills and knowledge increased.The beneficiaries of the project are the people with disabilities of Ngami, Kavango, Chobe and Ghanzi areas.The project is implemented by the Thuso Rehabilitation Ce

Lao/SUFORD-SF Sustainable Forest Development Finnish support to the forest sector in Lao PDR started in 1995 with the Forest Management and Conservation Project (FOMACOP) which piloted an approach to participatory management of production forests called ?Village Forestry?. 2004 through 2008 began the
 initial phase of the Sustainable Forestry for Rural Development (SUFORD) Project in the form of parallel financing with the World Bank. The overall objective of SUFORD AF is to support the sustainable management of natural production forests in order to a
lleviate the rural poverty in the project provinces. In recent years SUFORD has been the largest development assistance project operating in the forest sector in Lao PDR and is recognised as an important resource in supporting national-level strategic deci
sion-making with the information and knowledge accumulated from the ground. SUFORD has been approached by GoL to assist them in regulatory development for benefit distribution schemes. Several other partners are increasing their support with particular int
erest upon forestry issues related to climate change. There have been ongoing efforts to develop research pilot activities and support for developing a Lao national program in Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+). Additionally the p
rogramme is seen by GOL as an input into its broader rural development activities. Sustainable Forest Development - Sustainable Financing Phase Project SUFORD-SF defines the Lao ? Finland cooperation in the forest sector for the period of 2013 ? 2016. It i
s envisaged to be an exit phase of the long time support. It is designed to be tied with the World Bank?s Forest Investment Programme (FIP)/ IDA programme, where the Government of Finland support is mainly in the form of Technical Assistance (TA) while the
 FIP/IDA programme provides the operational resources. The structure objectives and results have been adjusted to the FIP/IDA programme. The Project aims to secure effective implementation of sound policy and legal frameworks and forest management practice
s enabling environmentally socially and economically sustainable management of production forests and enhanced contribution to poverty alleviation.
