Promoting human rights and good governance in Swaziland The project seeks to ensure greater and more meaningful participation of women, girls and youth in the politics and governance of the country. This will be achieved through empowering citizens to actively participate in local and national decision making processes, strengthening local mechanisms of human rights monitoring and reporting as well as enhancing the capacities of traditional leaders and elected representatives to fulfil their mandates in a democratic way.

The project will contribute to three programme outcomes, which are;

Supporting advocacy efforts towards democratic reform in Swaziland The democratization process in Swaziland is showing signs of improvement though a lot still needs to be done. Through meetings convened by DHPI and held with the various organizations, the various parties acknowledged that Swaziland has great potential for democracy. However, there are serious divisions that emanate from political philosophies, how to approach the issue of the monarch in a democratic dispensation, how to address the social and economic challenges affecting the Swazi people. DHPI will work with the Catholic Church to focus on promoting justice and peace through the Catholic Parliamentary Liaison Office (CPLO) and the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace. The CPLO allows for citizens to engage with parliamentarians and different portfolio committees and enables ordinary people to have an opportunity to influence decisions made in parliament. DHPI also work with CSOs to educate the general populace on the Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence (SODV) Act.

Change Agents for peace education and good leadership in Swaziland The proposed project “Change Agents for peace education and good leadership in Swaziland” is an effort by the Swaziland Justice and Peace Institute (SJPI) to promote peace and conflict resolution by using strongest societal problem-solving strategies such as education, workshops, sensitization and awareness campaign programmes.  Using the Shiselweni region as a pilot region, the project aims to contribute to an environment in which people are able to engage constructively and creatively in addressing their conflicts. 

The expected results are; (a) communities in the Shiselweni region of Swaziland working together to promote peace; and (b) Duty bearers effectively leading peace building initiatives at community and household levels. these results will be achieved through training community peace agents who will facilitate peace dialogues at the community level, holding community peace campaigns and strengthening the capacity of local leadership in conflict resolution.
SCCCO Institutional Strengthening and Promoting Human Rights Project It is important to note that since 2014 SCCCO has been through turbulent times with its internal systems and this has affected its programmes and visibility. Whilst the organisation has tried to resolve this impasse, it has not been able to fully resolve this situation. The challenges that have been identified by the organisation and some of its partners need to be addressed and make it fit to seek funding from various donors and hence help it sustain itself after CAFOD exit. This Project will primarily focus on the SCCCO institutional strengthening, addressing issues of governance, membership, operations and sustained organizational visibility. Further the project, will through the coordination of SCCCO promote engagement between civil society and government structures with the focus of promoting of human rights in the country.
Provision of institutional strengthening support to WLSA Swaziland This project seeks to amplify the voices of Swazi women regarding their issues of concern in terms of their socio-economic, legal and political circumstances. Through the ‘strengthening the rights and voices of women in Swaziland’ project, our partner, WLSA Swaziland, aims to identify the aspirations around which women in Swaziland can act collectively. This project seeks to strengthen WLSA Swaziland's capacity to more effectively represent “the voice” of women’s rights in Swaziland. 

To effectively reach the agreed Match Fund targets, WLSA Swaziland and CAFOD have agreed that there is a need for additional resources to strengthen WLSA, and to engage a full-time Project Officer who would support the Project Manager over the remaining months and to ensure that it effectively reaches targets under the DFID Match Fund.
Institutional strengthening of SCCCO This project aims to assist the Swaziland Coalition of Concerned Civic Organisations (SCCCO/Coalition) in strengthening its activities and skill building in the promotion of human rights, democracy and good governance in Swaziland.  

From an organisational assessment that was recently conducted by CAFOD, it was noted that there are a number of internal developments which require attention for the strengthening and sustainability of the organisation. SCCCO’s strategic documents have all come to an end and the organisation does not currently have an operational strategic plan. In addition, some anomalies, duplication and gaps have been identified in the operation of SCCCO governance documents, structures and policy. It will thus be important to have a strategic document that guides the organisation’s work moving forward. 

CAFOD’s grant will support:

•	Strategic planning
•	Legal review and harmonisation of SCCCO Governance documents, i.e. Trust Deed and Constitution
•	Advanced Excel and Pastel Training for Finance staff
•	Training on finance for non-finance staff
•	Training on research and information management.
Strengthening Church Civil Society and Political Party relations in Swaziland This Project works to strengthen the strategic linkages and relations between the Catholic Church, Civil Society and political parties in Swaziland following on from years of fragmentation and lethargy in the broader struggle for democratisation in Swaziland. Using the Dennis Hurley's position as a credible broker and mediator the Project will therefore support a series of meetings and capacity strengthening interventions aimed at building consensus and establishing a cohesive multi-stakeholder approach. The Project is rendered imperative by the release of the falsely imprisoned leaders of banned political parties whose presence in the field has provided new impetus for different stakeholders to work towards a common way forward. Expected results for the Project include: i. strengthened capacities of church, Civil Society and political party actors in multi-stakeholder approaches to democracy; ii. brokered consensus on joint actions and ways of working for church, civil society and political parties; iii. shared understanding of strategic roles and responsibilities of church, civil society and political parties actors in the promotion of democracy in Swaziland.
WLSA Swaziland Institutional Support and Capacity Building Project Over the last 3 years, CAFOD has supported WLSA-Swaziland to implement women and girls empowerment projects in Swaziland through DFID Match Funding and with financial support from the EU, through the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR). Through the support, WLSA-Swaziland developed a the first ever national women’s charter - a document which was developed through extensive consultations with women’s groups, and it presents Swazi women’s aspirations and demands on how they want their rights to be addressed; set up a community paralegal system – the paralegals comprise of community volunteers who were trained on basic human rights, and for the past three years they have been providing legal support and referral assistance to women and girls; and engaged with policy makers at community and national levels on women and girls’ rights – including equipping traditional leaders with knowledge on girls and women’s rights. In addition, CAFOD technical support has enabled WLSA to appoint a strong Board of trustees to give strategic direction to the organization and a vibrant staff compliment of qualified personnel who responsible for the day to day implementation of field programmes. 

Despite the not-so-conducive funding environment (especially because Swaziland is classified as a lower middle income country hence do not attract many donors), a number of donors has registered some interest to invest in the work that WLSA-Swaziland is doing. For example, with a small grant from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), WLSA is implementing an initiative which seeks to project women`s voices through active civic participation (project ends 30th September 2016), and with funding through the U.S. Ambassador’s community grants on adolescents, WLSA is implementing a community project with the aim of creating an enabling social and legal environment for adolescents in combating HIV/AIDS (project ends 30 November 2016). These are however small grant with little contribution towards institutional support.

WLSA-Swaziland has also sent out funding applications to OSISA, Magna Carta, Mama Cash and the Commonwealth. These are still being considered. CAFOD financial support will help WLSA-Swaziland to effectively implementing the small grants (which are building on the work that CAFOD has been supporting), and enable the partner to continue offering legal advice and assistance to indigent women and girls, raise awareness raising through media,  conducting Parliamentary observation and make submissions on Bills and participate in cultural activities.
Promoting human rights and good governance in Swaziland - WLSA CAFOD is supporting Women and Law in Southern Africa (WLSA-Swaziland) and the Swaziland Coalition of Concerned Civil Society Organizations (SCCCO) to implement an EU supported human rights and good governance project in Swaziland. The programme seeks to ensure greater and more meaningful participation of women, girls and youth in the politics and governance of the country. This will be achieved through empowering citizens to actively participate in local and national decision making processes, strengthening local mechanisms of human rights monitoring and reporting as well as enhancing the capacities of traditional leaders and elected representatives to fulfil their mandates in a democratic way.

Activities being implemented by WLSA will contribute to three programme outcomes, which are;
(1) Citizens, in particular women and other marginalised groups claim their rights and meaningfully participate in civic processes - This will be achieved through provision of paralegal support to women and girls; simplifying, translating and disseminating the Bill of Rights in the Constitution; community-based targeted civic education; Convening forums to discuss human rights issues and create a common agenda; and using the media for. 

(2) Traditional leaders and elected representatives understand human rights standards and are able to exercise their duties accordingly - this will include training of traditional/elected leaders on HR and women’s legal rights, sensitising traditional leaders on the Women’s Charter; targeted meetings with traditional and elected leaders; and facilitating interface forums between communities and traditional and elected leaders

(3) CSOs are able to use evidence based human rights monitoring data to advocate for the fulfilment of national/international human rights commitments - This will be achieved through setting up and implementing a community based human rights monitoring system; parliamentary observation and monitoring; producing and disseminating monthly, quarterly and annual reports on HR, production of a CSO Shadow Report on HR; participation in sessions of human rights treaty monitoring bodies; convening a National Human Rights Forum; provision of institutional support to WLSA; and Coordinating and disseminating information/learning via CAFOD networks.
