Frame Agreement with NGO (Foundation for Human Rights/KIOS) Activities of the project are to provide legal aid to asylum seekers, Counseling and workshops for refugees in relation to available services in partnership with local leaders, Continuous communication with the UNHCR for the most vulnerable asylum seekers 
and to speed up the process. India has not signed the UN Refugee Convention, but is receiving asylum seekers. For asylum seekers arriving from neighboring countries in India the state grants assistance in obtaining refugee status. Arriving from elsewhere h
ave to apply for refugee status through the UNHCR. This policy divides asylum-seekers into two unequal groups. During the process, the applicant must be able to demonstrate to be entitled for refugee status defined in accordance with international law crit
eria. The project aims to strengthen the asylum seekers legal status and their understanding of their rights as asylum seekers, as well as to improve their capacity to achieve the UNHCR calling for a process of refugee status. The project main objective is
 to inform and provide legal advice to asylum seekers. In addition, the aim is to get the UNHCR to reform policies so that in the future the asylum seeker would be informed of the reasons why his application has been rejected. The project target group in I
ndia is asylum seekers who apply for refugee status through the UNHCR. These people are mainly from Afghanistan, Burma and Somalia. In addition, the smaller extent of asylum seekers are arriving from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, and Sudan. 
A large part of ARA's clients are arriving from Afghanistan. Women and children have been taken into account in the target group because of their especially vulnerable status. The Ara Trust is a human rights organization founded in February 2013, which foc
uses on the provision of legal advice to refugees and asylum-seekers in India. The organization is India's first and so far the only organization that provides legal advice to refugees and asylum seekers. It is the only Indian NGO that has signed with the 
UNHCR the Letter of Understanding, a document that formally assigns ARA's unique role of refugees and asylum seekers facing a legal center.

eLearning teacher training programme for literacy learning and teaching in Sub-Saharan Africa In Sub-Saharan Africa only two-fifths of primary school age children reach Grade 4 and achieve the basics in reading (EFA 2014). In collaboration with our network of African literacy experts we aim to address this huge challenge of literacy learning and te
aching to boost the development of primary education in Africa. In our project we focus on enhancing the primary school teachers? skills to teach reading in local African Bantu languages by developing a comprehensive step by step digital learning environme
nt for teachers. The content of the eLearning environment will be created during the project together with the partner institutions.The teaching content will be developed during the alternating  phases of  trial and piloting phases over the course of 3 yea
r project. The created materials will assist teachers to use effective methodology in literacy instruction in local Bantu languages which will enhance the children?s prospects of acquiring basic reading skills especially those children with special needs. 
Thus contributing to the improvement in teaching and learning outcomes. Finland is among the countries which have the highest literacy rates in the world. International research shows that the major factor behind this success is the nature of Finnish alpha
betic system (transparent) and teaching method that is compatible with the regular orthography (there is only one way to spell a word or read a word). Nearly all Bantu languages in Africa have similar transparent alphabetic system to Finnish providing the 
opportunity to apply Finnish teaching methods and expertise at the time when the language policies and strategies have been revised so that mother tongue or local languages are used as a medium of literacy learning and instruction in primary schools. The p
roject will support the children's right to quality education by boosting the teachers? skills in literacy teaching and the special needs children's opportunities for learning.

Frame agreement with NGO (Suomen Lahetysseura ry) Project provides in-service training to secondary school teachers working in disadvantaged secondary schools in Meru District Council. Most importantly, the aim is to increase the use of participatory and integrative teaching approach in teaching English, 
Geography and History. Additionally, themes such as environmental issues, social aspects of the hiv and aids -pandemia and gender equality will be holistically integrated in the mentioned subjects. Teachers? skills will be strengthened both in theoretical 
knowledge and practical training. Also research articles will be produced. During the recent years, secondary education in Tanzania has been characterised by a growing number of schools and students, and at the same time, by an alarming rate of failure in 
national Form 4 examinations. In the area of teaching approach, the Ministry of Education of Tanzania has introduced a curriculum change for secondary school subjects, including a shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered participatory approach. The 
introduction of new syllabuses has not been accompanied by adequate in-service training for the teachers working in the field. This has caused confusion, uncertainty and resistance among the teachers initially trained according to the principles of the tra
ditional teacher-centered approach. PITA Project will be implemented in collaboration between TUMA University Faculty of Education, Meru District Education authorities and selected secondary schools. The project benefits the secondary school teachers and s
tudents but on top of that, it offers the academic programmes an opportunity to test and apply participatory and integrative teaching methods in practical grass root level teaching and to develop the teacher training programmes to meet the requirements and
 challenges of the Tanzanian reality. In 2014 a background survey was conducted and 20 econdary schools with approximately 4.200 students and 120 teachers chosen to the project.Menetelmana on jarjestaa koulutusseminaareja ja kaytannon tyopajoja yliopistoll

Fruit tree cropping in villages of the Lawra-region The goal in the project is to create local potential for sustainable fruit tree management. Planted trees will provide harvest in the end of the dry season when food is scarce. The effect of malnutrition is worst in the most vulnerable groups: amongst chil
dren elderly and sick. Vitamins and nutritients from fruits are important addition to dry season nutrition intake. Fruit trees will be planted in depleted farm lands which are otherwise out of use. This will lead to reforestation in areas where the tree co
ver is now very low. Productive fruit tree is such a valuable asset for a farmer that it won't be cut but in an emergency so the project will sustainably increase carbon sequestration in the trees of the area. The main method of action is planting cashew a
nd mango trees in villages that are capable of protecting the trees from fire. In our previous projects in the area we have reinforced fire control in 10 villages. From these 10 villages we will choose 500 beneficiary families or individuals through applic
ations. We will also construct a tree nursery for seedling production which we expect to cover it's operational costs in second or third year. The first batch of seedlings for planting in five first villages in the first year will be bought from nearby Bur
kina Faso as there is no tree nursery in the nearby area. Second year will see the project implementation in three to four other villages for which the seedlings will be supplied by tree nursery production. In the third year we expect the biggest trees wil
l start to produce fruit. Also we will start the project in the remaining villages re-plant in places where dead trees have occurred and if tree seedling production allows also plant in new communities which are ready to take necessary care of the trees.Ma
in actions:1. Selecting beneficiaries that fulfill the requirements.2. Organizing trainings about nutritional benefits of fruit fruit tree care and fire control.3. Establishing a tree nursery.4. Organizing tree plantings.5. Providing supportive actions: se
curing planting of seedlings acquiring seedlings tools and necessities organizing monitoring of the project.6. Bore a well beside the tree nursery to ensure a sustainable function for the project.The crosscutting objective of improving position of marginal
ized groups is one main goal of the project. Marginalized groups are most vulnerable to malnutrition so these groups also benefit most of the nutritional improvement.

Green Earth - Tany Maitso Madagascar is among the world's poorest countries. As such people's day-to-day survival is dependent upon natural resource use. Most Malagasy never have an opportunity to find jobs from official sector outside agriculture, they must live off the land that 
surrounds them making use of the natural resources. Their poverty costs the country and the world through the loss of the island's endemic biodiversity. In other words conservation in Madagascar depends on the human well-being especially in the peripheral 
zone of natural forests. Despite efforts brought by many actors on environment the objective which is to have healthy ecosystems have poverty eliminated and sustainable use of natural resources and forest in the future is still far from being reached. The 
objective of Tany Maitso is to contribute to reaching this objective by combining development and conservation. The idea is to enhance the well-being of the local people who are dependent on natural resources living around the protected forest areas in Ran
omafana and Farafangana and the forest corridor area between Ranomafana and Andringitra National Park and simultaneously protect biodiversity.Tany Maitso project has two main purposes: 1/ poverty alleviation in the project villages that will be indicated b
y enhanced livelihood options more variable diet increased literacy rate empowerment of women and improvement of health in the village and 2/ biodiversity conservation that will be promoted through reduction of forest use and through supporting tree planti
ng in each village.  The project has promoted the creation of an association in each village planting of trees such as Jatropha and Moringa vegetables planting beekeeping rat control in the rice plantation through CTBS method and literacy training for adul
ts. However the associations are not fully independent yet and more work is needed for achieving sustainable results.Thus the following activities were planned: 1/ association support and capacity building 2/ tree planting 3/ Literacy training in Tolongoin
a and 4/ market study to support marketing of the products.

Agro-BIG, Programme for Agro-Business Induced Growth in Amhara Agro-BIG project aims to develop agriculture-based economic growth and thereby reduce poverty in the Amhara region in selected locations. Immediate objective of the project is to develop agricultural value chains of selected products as well as the capacit
y of the people. The project is timely and responds to the development needs in Ethiopia: 85 per cent of 80 million people derive their livelihood from agriculture. The country is strongly committed to the development of market-oriented agricultural produc
tion strategically politically and operationally. Ethiopia's key development plan GTP aims to double agricultural production and food security by 2015.Most of the Amhara farmers earn their living from rainfed farming. Small farms are also not usually in a 
position to market their products effectively because they are of poor quality and do not reflect the market demand. In addition local small businesses do not have the capacity to develop products value chains. The logic of Agro-BIG is market orientation. 
It aims to grow skills and knowledge of companies communities and above all small-scale farmers so that products meet the requirements of the market.The project will contribute to food security and to improve the status of women in particular small farmers
 in rural areas of Ethiopia and aims to increase the capacity of small farms and the ability to respond to local national and even export market demand and expectations.

Manondroala - Cooperation network for forest conservation restoration and monitoring in Madagascar Finnish Association for Nature Conservation (FANC) applies funding for the third phase of project Manondroala the second 3-year period after the pilot (1+3+3). The main objective in the project is to create a holistic method for forest protection in Madaga
scar where deforestation and forest degradation is both a huge ecological and socioeconomic problem. The protection of natural forests is carried out by combining local level reforestation and GIS information about the state of forests to the current satel
lite image-based monitoring systems. This information will help its users both to optimize conservation acts to clarify the reasons for deforestation and to verify the success of reforestation. It will work as a data bank and monitoring tool for all who us
es the Internet. The reforestation is done in an important forest corridor area of Andasibe - Mantadia in Eastern Madagascar. The local administrative partner is MICET (Madagascar Institute for the Conservation of Tropical Ecosystems) and the implementing 
partner is a small NGO Mitsinjo.We have formed a network with more than 10 national-level conservation actors and forest professionals in Madagascar (e.g. University of Antananarivo Durrell and WWF). Everyone is contributing to developing the monitoring sy
stem which will be based on a detailed real-time and constantly updated online forest map of Madagascar. Local communities NGOs and environmental authorities are provided with capability and skills to collect GIS information from local forests. They will l
earn how to take advantage of the net-based mapping tool in helping them to communicate with other actors on the situation of the forests.The project concentrates on sustainable use of natural resources and especially the use of forest. This is also one of
 the main focuses of the Finnish government and the Finnish development cooperation policy. Climate-proofing is a key element in the project. The other cross-cutting themes decreasing inequality and empowering women are acknowledged in the grass-root capac
ity building restoration activities and strengthening of our local partner. Main beneficiaries of the project are our partner organizations the research community and environmental officials and final beneficiaries are the entire population living in Madag
ascan Eastern humid forest area most of whom are subsistent farmers.
