Government to double support for global education
Regjeringen vil doble satsingen på global utdanning
On 9 December, one of Azerbaijan's most high-profile human rights defenders, Leyla Yunus, was let out of prison.
En av Aserbajdsjans mest profilerte menneskerettighetsaktivister, Leyla Yunus, ble 9. desember sluppet ut av fengsel.
She is not allowed to leave Baku.
Hun får ikke forlate Baku.
Last month, her husband Arif Yunus, who was also in prison, was released, subject to the same restrictions.
I forrige måned skjedde det samme med hennes ektemann Arif Yunus, som også satt fengslet.
Both Leyla and Arif Yunus have serious health problems.
Begge hadde alvorlige helseproblemer.
In August, they were sentenced to eight and a half years and seven years in prison, respectively, for fraud, tax evasion, forgery of documents and illicit economic activities.
De to ble i august dømt til henholdsvis åtte og et halvt og sju års fengsel for bedrageri, skatteunndragelse, forfalskning av dokumenter og ulovlig økonomisk virksomhet.
Their guilty verdicts have been maintained, but the sentences have now been converted to five-year suspended sentences.
De anses fortsatt skyldige etter disse tiltalene, men dommene er nå omgjort til fem års betinget fengsel.
'Leyla and Arif Yunus have worked tirelessly for many years to promote fundamental human rights in Azerbaijan.
– Ekteparet Yunus har i mange år gjort en stor innsats for å fremme grunnleggende menneskerettigheter i Aserbajdsjan.
We expect Azerbaijan to comply with its obligations to respect fundamental rights and freedoms,' said Mr Brende.
Vi forventer at Aserbajdsjan etterlever landets forpliktelser til å respektere grunnleggende friheter og rettigheter, sier utenriksministeren.

The ministers of fisheries in Norway, Sweden and Denmark have today in Stockholm signed a joint declaration forbidding discards of fish in the waters of Skagerrak.
Fiskeriministerne fra Norge, Sverige og Danmark signerte i dag i Stockholm en felles erklæring om forbud mot utkast av fisk i Skagerrak.
“A ban on discards in Skagerrak marks a milestone in our efforts to ensure sustainable management of our joint marine resources,” says Norway’s Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs Lisbeth Berg-Hansen.
- Utkastforbud i Skagerrak er en milepæl i arbeidet med å sikre en bærekraftig forvaltning av våre felles ressurser.
In this context, Norway, Sweden and Denmark wish to be in the forefront by implementing a ban on discards in the waters of Skagerrak.
I denne konteksten ønsker Norge, Sverige og Danmark å være i forkant ved å forby utkast i Skagerrak.
While Skagerrak geographically speaking is a small ocean area, it is nevertheless important for those living around the coasts in the area and for fishermen from our three countries,” adds Lisbeth Berg-Hansen.
Skagerrak er et lite havområde, men det er et viktig område for dem som bor i nærheten og for fiskerne fra disse tre landene, la Berg-Hansen til.
Norway has tried to persuade the EU to change its stance on discards.
Norge har arbeidet for å få EU til å endre sin utkastpolitikk.
The EU has now put forward proposals to reform its common fisheries policy.
EU har nå lagt frem et forslag til reform av sin felles fiskeripolitikk.
Efforts to reduce discards will therefore be a key focus area in Norway’s cooperation with the EU going forward.
Arbeidet for å redusere utkast vil derfor prege Norges samarbeid med EU også i tida som kommer.

Mubarak’s resignation means that the protesters’ main demand has been met.
Mubaraks avgang innebærer at demonstrantenes viktigste krav er blitt innfridd.
This paves the way for a genuine democratisation process.

The Colombian Government and FARC-EP (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo) have met the first delegation of victims at the negotiating table in Havana.
Colombias regjering og Farc-EP (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo) har tatt i mot den første delegasjonen av ofre ved forhandlingsbordet i Havanna.
The Colombian Government began formal negotiations with the country’s largest rebel group, FARC-EP, in Oslo in October 2012.
Den colombianske regjeringen innledet formelle forhandlinger med landets største opprørsgruppe, Farc-EP, i Oslo i oktober 2012.
The negotiations have since taken place in Havana.
Forhandlingene har siden funnet sted i Havanna.
Talks are also being held with the smaller rebel group, ELN (Ejército de Liberación Nacional).
Det pågår også samtaler med den mindre geriljagruppen ELN (Ejército de Liberación Nacional).
Norway is acting as facilitator in the peace process with FARC-EP and in the discussions with the ELN.
Norge er tilrettelegger både i fredsprosessen med Farc og i sonderingene med ELN.
‘Norway will continue to assist the parties in finding a peaceful solution to the armed conflict in Colombia, and will build on the important work done so far by Norwegian diplomats.
- Norge vil fortsette å bistå partene med å finne en fredelig løsning på den væpnede konflikten i Colombia, og bygge videre på den viktige jobben norske diplomater har gjort så langt.
Peace is crucial for promoting economic, social and political development in the country,’ Mr Brende said.
Fred er avgjørende for en positiv økonomisk, sosial og politisk utvikling i landet, sier Brende.
Several hundred thousand people have been killed, and more than five million have been internally displaced.
Flere hundre tusen mennesker er drept, og over fem millioner er drevet på flukt i eget land.

We are also continuing our targeted efforts in the areas of business development, job creation, climate change, environment and sustainable energy,' said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
I tillegg fortsetter vi satsingene på næringsutvikling, jobbskaping, klima, miljø og bærekraftig energi, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The proposed aid budget for 2017 amounts to NOK 33.9 billion.
Forslaget til bistandsbudsjett for 2017 er på 33,9 milliarder kroner.
This is equivalent to 1 % of estimated GNI for 2017, and means that the aid budget will have been kept at 1 % of GNI for the whole of the current parliamentary period.
Dette tilsvarer én prosent av BNI-anslaget for 2017, og betyr at bistandsbudsjettet er holdt på en prosent av BNI gjennom hele stortingsperioden.
'The aim of aid is to enable the recipients to become independent of aid.
- Målet med bistanden er at mottakerne skal bli uavhengig av bistand.
The historic adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in September 2015 marked the start of a global effort, in which all of the world's countries will share responsibility for promoting sustainable development and eradicating extreme poverty in all its forms by 2030,' Mr Brende said.
Det historiske vedtaket av FNs bærekraftsmål i september 2015 markerte starten på en global dugnad hvor alle land i verden tar ansvar for å arbeide for bærekraftig utvikling og utrydde all ekstrem fattigdom innen 2030, sier Brende.
The Government's development assistance is focused on the following five areas: education, humanitarian aid, health, business development and job creation, and climate, environment and sustainable energy.
Regjeringens bistandsinnsats konsentreres om følgende fem hovedtema: Utdanning, humanitær bistand, helse, næringsutvikling og jobbskaping, klima, miljø og bærekraftig energi.
'Education is key to promoting growth and development.
- Utdanning er avgjørende for vekst og utvikling.
The Government therefore proposes a record high allocation of NOK 3.4 billion for global education in 2017.
Regjeringen foreslår derfor rekordhøye 3,4 milliarder til global utdanning i 2017.
'There are several major humanitarian crises and conflicts taking place in the world today, and the need for humanitarian assistance has risen dramatically.
- Verden preges av flere store humanitære kriser og konflikter, behovet for humanitær hjelp øker dramatisk.
We are therefore planning a record-high humanitarian budget in 2017 too, with an allocation of NOK 5 billion to humanitarian aid.
Vi planlegger derfor et rekordhøyt humanitært budsjett også i 2017 og setter av fem milliarder til humanitær bistand på neste års budsjett.
A large part of this will go to efforts in Syria and its neighbouring countries.
En stor andel vil gå til Syria og nabolandene.
Since 2013, the Government has increased humanitarian aid by more than 50 %,' Mr Brende said.
Siden 2013 har regjeringen økt den humanitære bistanden med mer enn 50 prosent, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
In addition to providing a record-high level of humanitarian aid, Norway will continue its work to encourage other countries to contribute more.
I tillegg til den rekordhøye humanitære bistanden vil Norge fortsette innsatsen for å få andre land til å bidra mer.
Norway's humanitarian efforts must be seen in conjunction with its engagement in fragile states and regions, and its peace and reconciliation work.
Den humanitære innsatsen må sees i sammenheng med strategien regjeringen utarbeider for sårbare stater og regioner og arbeidet med freds- og forsoningsprosesser.
'Wars, conflicts and terrorism have catastrophic consequences for those who live in the affected areas.
– Krig og terror er katastrofalt for de som bor i rammede områder.
They also pose threats to our own security.
Det skaper også utfordringer for vår egen sikkerhet.
We are now drawing up a comprehensive strategy for our efforts to promote stability and development in fragile states and regions,' Mr Brende said.
Vi arbeider nå med en helhetlig strategi for stabilisering og utvikling i sårbare stater, sier utenriksminister Brende.
'Global health will remain a key area in Norway's development policy, and the Government proposes an allocation of more than NOK 3 billion to global health in next year's budget.
- Arbeidet med global helse forblir en sentral pilar i utviklingspolitikken og regjeringen foreslår å sette av mer enn tre milliarder kroner til global helse på neste års budsjett.
This will mean that, in the current parliamentary term , we will have increased our funding for this area by NOK 600 million.
Med dette har vi økt innsatsen med 600 millioner kroner i løpet av regjeringsperioden.
The funding we provide to UNAIDS and the World Health Organization, some NOK 300 million, comes in addition to this.
I tillegg kommer om lag 300 millioner til UNAids og Verdens helseorganisasjon.
In the time ahead, we will have an even stronger focus on reaching those who are particularly at risk because of war and conflict,' Mr Brende said.
I tiden som kommer vil vi satse sterkere på å nå de som er særlig utsatt på grunn av krise og konflikt, sier utenriksministeren.
'Our efforts to promote business development and job creation clearly illustrate the overriding objective of the Government's development policy: to help poor countries become independent of aid.
- Satsingen på næringsutvikling og jobbskaping illustrerer godt det overordnede målet med regjeringens utviklingspolitikk: Å gjøre fattige land uavhengig av bistand.
Over the next ten years, one billion young people will enter the job market.
En milliard unge vil de neste ti årene ta steget ut i arbeidslivet.
It is therefore vital that the support we provide promotes job creation and business development in developing countries.
Det er dermed viktig at bistanden bidrar til jobbskaping og næringsutvikling i utviklingslandene.
The task of Norfund, the Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries, is to support development through profitable, sustainable investments.
Norfunds oppgave er nettopp å bidra til utvikling og jobbskaping gjennom lønnsomme og bærekraftige investeringer.
In the budget proposal for 2017, the Government proposes maintaining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' contribution to measures relating to climate change, the environment and sustainable energy, with an allocation of NOK 2 billion.
I budsjettforslaget foreslår regjeringen å videreføre Utenriksdepartementets andel til tiltak innenfor klima, miljø og bærekraftig energi med to milliarder.
Multilateral initiatives such as the Green Climate Fund and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) are important partners in this context.
Multilaterale satsinger som Det grønne klimafondet og Den globale miljøfasiliteten (GEF) er viktige partnere.
In addition, the Government proposes an allocation under the aid budget of NOK 2.9 billion to Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative, which is administered by the Ministry of Climate and Environment.
I tillegg foreslår regjeringen å sette av 2,9 milliarder fra bistandsbudsjettet til klima- og skogprosjektet, som forvaltes av Klima- og miljødepartementet.
The Government will continue its work to make Norway's aid more efficient and targeted towards the most vulnerable.
Regjeringen vil fortsette arbeidet med å effektivisere bistanden og slik at bistanden når de mest sårbare.
During the course of this year the number of agreements has been reduced from 6 000 to 4 400.
I løpet av det siste året er antall avtaler redusert fra 6000 til 4400.
The number of recipient countries has been reduced from 113 to 88.
Antall mottagerland er redusert fra 113 til 88.
Of the total aid budget of NOK 33.9 billion, the Government proposes allocating NOK 3.7 billion to measures to address the refugee situation in Norway.
Av totalbeløpet til bistand på 33,9 milliarder foreslår regjeringen å sette av 3,7 milliarder til flyktningtiltak i Norge.
This amounts to half the amount allocated to measures of this kind in 2016, when a record number of asylum seekers came to Norway.
Dette er en halvering i forhold til 2016, da det kom et rekordhøyt antall asylsøkere til Norge.
The proposed allocation for 2017 accounts for 10.9 % of the aid budget, and is equivalent to the level of funding allocated to this area in the final 2010 budget.
Forslaget for 2017 utgjør 10,9 prosent av bistandsbudsjettet som er på nivå med saldert budsjettet i 2010.

This is a historic milestone, and an important step towards a peaceful solution to the conflict in the country,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
Dette er en historisk milepæl, og et viktig skritt på veien mot en fredelig løsning på konflikten i Myanmar, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
A political solution to the conflict with the ethnic groups will be an important contribution to the democratisation process in Myanmar.
En politisk løsning på konflikten med de etniske gruppene vil være et viktig bidrag til demokratiseringsprosessen i Myanmar.
Norway is prepared to support these efforts,’ said Mr Brende.
Norge står klare til å støtte denne innsatsen, sier Brende.
Norway has supported the parties’ endeavours to achieve a national ceasefire and a transition to political dialogue since 2012.
Norge har siden 2012 støttet opp om partenes bestrebelser for en nasjonal våpenhvile og overgang til politisk dialog i Myanmar.
Part of this support has been channelled through the Norwegian-led Myanmar Peace Support Initiative.
Støtten er blant annet gitt gjennom det norsk-ledede Myanmar Peace Support Initiative.
Norway also chairs the international Peace Donor Support Group, which is a platform for political support for the peace process.
Norge leder også den internasjonale støttegruppen, Peace Donor Support Group, som er en plattform for politisk støtte til fredsprosessen.
