Forest restoration and water availability for smart agriculture: a case study of Cambodia (FRAWASA) Skogsrestaurering och effekter på vattenresurser för smart jordbruk: en fallstudie av Kambodja (FRAWASA) I stora delar av tropikerna är klimatförändringar och förstörelse av de naturliga skogarna ett stort problem då det hotar biodiversiteten, vilket i sin tur också påverkar de ekosystemtjänster som är basen för många människors försörjning. Utbytet av naturlig vegetation mot industriella plantager med snabbväxande träd såsom eukalyptus leder till att marken töms på vatten, vilket i sin tur påverkar jordbruk i närliggande områden. Ett land där detta händer är Kambodja, där 80% av befolkningen lever på landsbygden och försörjer sig genom att bruka jorden eller genom att använda de resurser som skogen har att erbjuda. Genom att ta ett landskapsperspektiv och att använda en processbaserad ekosystemmodell i kombination med data från fältförsök så ämnar vi att studera de risker och möjligheter som finns med olika skogsskötselalternativ samt införande av klimatsmart jordbruk i de dominerande klimatzonerna i Kambodja, samt för hela landet. Vi kommer specifikt att studera risker som är kopplade till klimatet, såsom torka och skogsbränder. Olika källor för osäkerhet gällande det framtida klimatet och dess effekter på naturen och jordbruk kommer att kvantifieras, för att kunna skilja relativt robusta från osäkra förändringar, vilket utgör ett viktigt underlag för uppskattning av risker. Skötselscenarier (skogs- och jordbruk) kommer att tas fram genom en nära samverkan med jordbrukare, skogsägare, lokala samt nationella myndigheter och intresseorganisationer, med vilka vi kommer att dela och diskutera våra resultat. Det övergripande målet med detta projekt är att öka förståelsen om dessa system och genom det kunna ge råd om hur Kambodjanska landskap i ett förändrat klimat kan brukas på ett hållbart sätt. Forest degradation and climate change are a serious environmental problem in much of the tropics, threatening biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods of local people. Replacement of native vegetation by industrial plantations of fast-growing exotic trees, such as eucalypts, lead to depletion of soil water reserves, affecting nearby agricultural areas. A representative case is Cambodia, where 80% of the population lives in rural areas and are dependent on rainfed agriculture and resources from forests for their livelihood. Taking a landscape perpective, and using a process-based climate-ecosystem model in combination with extensive field measurements and distributed data, we will assess the benefits and risks of alternative management choices for forest restoration and smart (i.e. climate adapted) agriculture for the main bioclimatic zones of Cambodia and for the country as a whole, highlighting climate-related risks such as droughts and wildfires, and accounting for uncertainty. Alternative management scenarios will be developed in consultation with farmers, foresters, local and national authorities and other stakeholders, with whom findings will also be disseminated and discussed. Our overall goal is to provide new system understanding and quantitative assessment as a basis for the science-based management and restoration of Cambodian landscapes under climate change, contributing to a national policy process targetting the sustainable use of land.
Search for new Physics with the ATLAS Experiment Sökande efter ny fysik med ATLAS-experimentet Sökande efter indikationer på supersymmetri. I strävan att utforska materiens minsta beståndsdelar och de fundamentala växelverkningarna studeras hela tiden mindre partiklar vid högre energier. I den nya acceleratorn *Large Hadron Collider* (LHC) som startade hösten 2009 vid CERN i Genéve kollideras protoner mot varandra vid 7 TeV, den högsta energi som är tillgänglig i världen. I kombination med den höga intensiteten hos partikelstrålarna som förväntas under 2011 och 2012, kommer den att ge enastående möjlighet att söka efter ny fysik i ett energiområde där dagens s.k. *standardmodell* inte nödvändigtvis är giltig. Efter ett stopp under 2013 kommer energien att dubblas till 14 TeV under 2014. Den s.k. standardmodellen beskriver enastående väl fysiken vid de energier som idag är tillgängliga för experimentella studier. Det finns dock anledning att tro att ny fysik kan finnas i energiomr?det kring 1 TeV. Bl.a. behöver parametrar i standardmodellen finjusteras till en onaturlig precision för att Higgs-bosonens massa inte skall vara för stor. Inte heller kommer stark, elektromagnetisk och svag växelverkan att ha en och samma styrka vid mycket höga energier i enlighet med vad som förväntas i en s.k. Grand Unified beskrivning där all växelverkan kan beskrivas med en gemensam teori. Båda dessa svårigheter löses i supersymmetriska utvidgningar av standardmodellen. Supersymmetri är en symmetri mellan fermioner och bosoner där varje fermion (materiepartikel) har en supersymmetrisk bosonpartner och vice versa. Genom ett samarbete mellan KTH och grupper i Oujda och Rabat i Marocko kan vi utnyttja expertis inom olika områden för framsteg inom sökandet efter indikationer på supersymmetriska partiklars existens. Grupperna har redan ett etablerat samarbete genom konstruktionen av debn s.k. försampeldetektorn i ATLAS-experimenetet. Denna del används för att mäta och därmed tillåta kompensations för energiförluster i material före sjölva kalorimetern i ATLAS-experimentet. Detta är en nödvändighet för precisionsmätningar av fotoners, elektroners och positroners energi. Genom ett samarbete mellan KTH och Marocko kan vi bättre utveckla metoder att förstå bakgrundssignaler från känd fysik för att effektivt kunna söka efter tecken på att supersymmetriska partiklar existerar. After almost 21 years of preparation in the form of detector development, construction, assembly and commissioning, the ATLAS experiment has started to collect proton-proton collision data at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at energies surpassing what has previously been available elsewhere. The coming several years will thus be the time for a rich harvest after the two decades of preparations. The most promising theory for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics is the theory of supersymmetry, predicting that every particle known to date should have a superpartner with mass on the electroweak scale. These superpartners could therefore be detected with the data from the LHC, in particular once the center-of-mass energy of the LHC collisions is upgraded to the design 14 TeV which will happen in 2015. This funding request concerns a collaboration between the particle physics groups at Mohammed I University in Oujda Morocco, the Faculty of Science in Rabat Morocco and KTH. With the combined expert knowledge of our Swedish and Moroccan groups in the areas of supersymmetry searches and background estimates we can offer a unique opportunity for new graduate students to be part of scientific discoveries that if they are made, will rival anything accomplished in the area of physics to date.

The project will also build capacity of local governments, communities, local contractors to incorporate DRR practices into housing and community infrastructure constr
Capacity Building for Investors and Commodity Producers to Effectively Mitigate Social and Land Tenure Risk This project will organise and deliver two training initiatives aimed at ensuring that investment projects in emerging markets and commodity producers in Africa have improved capacity to prevent and manage social and land tenure risks, thus contributing to increased respect for human rights and local land rights in commodity-producing developing economies. The project’s ‘Investor Training on Social Risk Mitigation’ will be given to leading investment institutions in Africa, Asia, the US, and Europe to increase their awareness of the high liabilities associated with insufficient social due diligence and to motivate them to implement best practices for utilising existing resources for mitigating social and land tenure risk. The Investor Training program will be piloted with leading financial institutions and then deployed at scale through an online version of the course. The project’s ‘Africa Training Programme for Social Managers’ will organise a 10-month course that will prepare 15-20 professionals from high-risk commodity producing regions to serve in companies in Central, West and East Africa as Social Managers capable of building corporate social programs and leading effective stakeholder engagement on land tenure and other social risks.

Adduction en eau potable au village de Séling Le village de Séling et le hameau de Boussera qui y est rattaché, peuplé de 1.000 habitants environs et en forte croissance, est aujourd’hui alimenté en eau par un seul forage équipé d’une pompe manuelle : ce qui ne soulage pas les corvées des femmes. Il existe 3 puits domestiques qui ne produisent pas d’eau potable. Le présent projet a pour objet de mettre en place un château d’eau, équiper le forage d’un système d’exhaure électromécanique et poser un réseau de distribution d’eau potable avec divers points d’accès. La gouvernance des ouvrages occupe une place centrale projet avec la mise en place d’une association d’usagers du forage. Il s’agira de : - Construire un château d’eau de 50 m3 à 15 m de hauteur avec des locaux annexes, - Fournir et poser des équipements d’exhaure et un réseau de distribution d’eau potable de 3.000 ml avec divers points de distribution. Par ailleurs la mise sur pieds d’une Association d’usagers de forage (ASUFOR) sera planifiée dès le démarrage des travaux suivant les dispositions prévues dans le cadre institutionnel légal sous-secteur de l’hydraulique rural, qui prévoit une délégation de service à un opérateur privé dans le but d’assurer une gestion efficiente des ouvrages et la prise en charge de la gestion de l’eau dans la localité de manière plus globale dans un souci de pérennisation.
11.11.11 PROGRAMMA 2017-2021 11.11.11 PROGRAM 2017-2021 Het programma beoogt de oorzaken van armoede en ongelijkheid structureel aan te pakken. Daartoe neemt 11.11.11 drie kernopdrachten op die sterk met elkaar verbonden zijn en waarmee we echt kunnen bijdragen tot politieke verandering: 1. Werken met politieke actoren In België wordt een verandering in het beleid nagestreefd door vooral nationale beleidsmakers er toe te brengen initiatieven te nemen ten gunste van duurzame ontwikkeling in het Zuiden. De beleidsmedewerkers/sters werken belangrijke ontwikkelingsthema’s uit tot beleidsvoorstellen die grote impact kunnen genereren en doen daarmee aan advocacy. 2.De beweging versterken We ‘bewegen’ het Vlaamse publiek om zo legitimiteit en draagvlak te bekomen voor beleidsveranderingen. Dit draagvlak bestaat uit vele tienduizenden sympathisanten en vrijwilligers die geïnformeerd en geactiveerd worden door de initiatieven en campagnes van onze bewegingsdienst. 3. Werken met partners in het Zuiden In het Zuiden ondersteunen we partners in DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Filipijnen, Indonesië teneinde meer impact te bekomen op het beleid in hun land. Het gaat om organisaties die vanuit een rechtenperspectief opkomen voor een ontwikkeling, gebaseerd op sociale, economische en milieu- en klimaatrechtvaardigheid, of voor democratisering en goed (participatief) bestuur. Deze organisaties ondersteunen rights-holders zodat deze beter in staat zijn om hun rechten te verdedigen en ze voeren gemeenschappelijke acties uit om het beleid te beïnvloeden. De samenwerking met 11.11.11 biedt partners de mogelijkheid om hun band te versterken met rights-holders, samenwerkingen uit te bouwen (bredere campagnes en coalities) en erkenning te bekomen bij politieke actoren en de publieke opinie voor de acties die ze ondernemen. Deze 3 kerntaken worden versterkt middels sterke en eigentijdse communicatie naar een breed (Vlaams) publiek, naar specifieke doelgroepen en naar beleidsmakers. Om meer burgers, media en opiniemakers te brengen tot een beter inzicht in en meer gefundeerde opinies over de thema’s en dilemma’s rond ontwikkeling, mondialisering en actuele internationale verhoudingen, doet 11.11.11 beroep op Wereldmediahuis vzw, dat via verschillende communicatiekanalen kwaliteitsvolle en betrouwbare informatie en analyses verspreidt. De eigenheid van 11.11.11 is dat wij tevens koepel van de Vlaamse Noord-Zuidbeweging zijn en deze opdrachten uitvoeren namens en in synergie met alle Vlaamse ontwikkelingsorganisaties. Le programme vise à s'attaquer aux causes de la pauvreté et de l'inégalité de manière structurelle. A cette fin, le 11.11.11 assume trois tâches essentielles qui sont fortement liées entre elles et avec lesquelles nous pouvons apporter une réelle contribution au changement politique : 1. Travailler avec les acteurs politiques. En Belgique, un changement de politique est cherché en encourageant les décideurs politiques nationaux en particulier à prendre des initiatives en faveur du développement durable dans le Sud. 11.11.11 développe des thèmes importants relatifs au développement en propositions politiques qui peuvent avoir un impact majeur, et fait un travail de plaidoyer sur ces propositions. 2. Renforcer le mouvement. Nous sensibilisons le public flamand afin d'obtenir une légitimité et un soutien pour les changements de politique. Cette base de soutien est constituée de plusieurs dizaines de milliers de sympathisants et de bénévoles qui sont informés et activés par les initiatives et les campagnes de nos Services Campagne/Communication/Mouvement. 3. Travailler avec des partenaires dans le Sud. Dans le Sud, nous soutenons des partenaires en RDC, au Rwanda, au Burundi, au Pérou, en Équateur, en Bolivie, aux Philippines, en Indonésie afin d'obtenir plus d'impact sur la politique dans leur pays. Il s'agit d'organisations qui défendent le développement dans une perspective de droits, fondée sur la justice sociale, économique, environnementale et climatique, ou la démocratisation et la bonne gouvernance (participative). Ces organisations soutiennent les titulaires de droits afin qu'ils soient mieux à même de défendre leurs droits et elles mènent des actions communes pour influencer la politique. La coopération avec le 11.11.11 permet aux partenaires de renforcer leurs liens avec les détenteurs de droits, de développer des partenariats (campagnes et coalitions plus larges) et d'obtenir la reconnaissance des acteurs politiques et de l'opinion publique pour les actions qu'ils entreprennent. Ces trois tâches essentielles sont renforcées par une communication forte et contemporaine à destination d'un large public (flamand), de groupes cibles spécifiques et de décideurs politiques. Afin d'amener davantage de citoyens, de médias et de faiseurs d'opinion à mieux comprendre les thèmes et les dilemmes liés au développement, à la mondialisation et aux relations internationales actuelles et à se faire une opinion plus fondée sur ces thèmes, 11.11.11 fait appel à l’asbl Wereldmediahuis, qui diffuse des informations et des analyses de qualité et fiables par le biais de différents canaux de communication. La particularité du 11.11.11 est que nous sommes également l'organisation coupole du mouvement Nord-Sud flamand et que nous exécutons ces tâches au nom de toutes les organisations flamandes de développement et en synergie avec elles.
PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_ZSD6 Program Ecuador In Ecuador werkt 11.11.11 samen met organisaties die vanuit een rechtenperspectief opkomen voor andere ontwikkeling, gebaseerd op sociale en economische rechtvaardigheid en op een evenwicht met de natuur. Hoewel het beleid in Ecuador in principe gericht is op een aantal progressieve ontwikkelingen blijkt het in de praktijk niet te kunnen ontsnappen aan de beperkingen van een meer conservatief ontwikkelingsbeleid dat sterk geënt is op economische groei. Ondanks mooie verklaringen is Ecuador niet in staat om de sociale, economische en culturele rechten te garanderen, en een halt toe te roepen aan de overexploitatie van natuurlijke rijkdommen en de destructie van de natuur. 11.11.11 werkt samen met organisaties en netwerken die actief zijn op nationaal niveau rond democratisering en rechten, milieu-en klimaatrechtvaardigheid, en sociale en economische rechtvaardigheid. Deze organisaties ondersteunen rights-holders zodat deze beter in staat zijn om hun rechten te verdedigen en voeren gemeenschappelijke acties om het beleid te beïnvloeden. Er wordt ook geïnvesteerd in de bescherming van activisten en hun organisaties aangezien deze steeds meer onder druk komen te staan. De partners maken deel uit van internationale platformen via dewelke ze Zuid-Zuid uitwisseling en globale acties promoten. De samenwerking met 11.11.11 biedt partners de mogelijkheid om hun band te versterken met rights-holders, samenwerkingen uit te bouwen (bredere campagnes en coalities) en erkenning te bekomen bij politieke actoren en de publieke opinie voor de acties die ze ondernemen. De partners in Ecuador zijn: Acción Ecológica, INREDH, CDES en CEDENMA. En Ecuador, 11.11.11 trabaja con organizaciones que, desde un enfoque de derechos, promueven otro desarrollo, basado en la justicia social y económica y en un equilibrio con la naturaleza. Si bien en principio la política en Ecuador está dirigida a un desarrollo más progresista, resulta que en la práctica no logra escaparse de un desarrollo más conservador que busca el crecimiento económico. A pesar de las declaraciones bonitas, Ecuador no es capaz de garantizar los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales (DESC), ni de detener la sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales y la destrucción de la naturaleza. Por eso, 11.11.11 trabaja con organizaciones y redes que trabajan activamente alrededor de la democratización y los derechos humanos, la justicia social y económica y la justicia ambiental y climática. Apoyan a titulares de derechos para que éstos tengan mayores capacidades para defender sus derechos y realizan acciones conjuntas para incidir en la política. También invierten en la protección de activistas y sus organizaciones ya que la presión sobre ellos aumenta cada vez más. Las contrapartes son miembros de plataformas internacionales, a través de las cuales promueven intercambios Sur-Sur y acciones globales. La colaboración con 11.11.11 permite a las contrapartes fortalecer sus vínculos con los titulares de derechos, construir colaboraciones (campañas más amplias y coaliciones), y lograr un reconocimiento por parte de actores políticos y la opinión pública por sus acciones.

PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_ZSD8 Program Indonesia 11.11.11 engages in partnerships with Indonesian Civil Society Organizatons (CSOs) that are advocating for a more social and sustainable economy. They disagree with the current policies in their country, which are leading to a widening gap between rich and poor and makes people more vulnerable for ecological disasters, in which the most vulnerable groups in society are the first victims. These partners support “rights-holders" to make sure they are aware of their rights, and in a better position to defend and uphold their rights. The program will help to increase the pressure on governments and private sector to ensure human rights related to ecological justice. The main demands of both the CSOs and rights-holders are related to the mainstreaming of the human rights perspective in the policies and daily operations of government institutions. Special attention is paid to the protection of human rights defenders working on ecological issues. The partnerships offers opportunities to strengthen their ties with rights-holders, thus, reinforcing their legitimacy, to develop strategic partnerships to broaden their public support, and obtain wider recognition by policy actors and public opinion. Key partners of 11.11.11 are: WALHI; Jatam and Sawit Watch. New partnerships will be explored with SP, a women organization, and KontraS, a human rights organization.

PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_ZSD4 Program Peru In Peru werkt 11.11.11 samen met organisaties die vanuit een rechtenperspectief opkomen voor andere ontwikkeling, gebaseerd op sociale en economische rechtvaardigheid en op een evenwicht met de natuur. Dit omdat het huidige beleid éénduidig gericht is op economische groei en het aantrekken van grootschalige investeringen. Het systeem is niet in staat om de economische, sociale en culturele rechten (ESCR) te garanderen, noch om de overexploitatie van natuurlijke rijkdommen en de destructie van de natuur een halt toe te roepen. 11.11.11 werkt samen met organisaties en netwerken die actief zijn op nationaal niveau rond democratisering en mensenrechten, sociale en economische rechtvaardigheid (inclusief fiscaliteit, financiering van ontwikkeling, investeringen, handelsovereenkomsten) milieu- en klimaatrechtvaardigheid. Ze ondersteunen rights-holders zodat deze beter in staat zijn om hun rechten te verdedigen en voeren gemeenschappelijke acties om het beleid te beïnvloeden. Er wordt ook geïnvesteerd in de bescherming van activisten en hun organisaties aangezien deze steeds meer onder druk komen te staan. De partners maken deel uit van internationale platformen via dewelke ze Zuid-Zuid uitwisseling en globale acties promoten. De samenwerking met 11.11.11 biedt partners de mogelijkheid om hun band te versterken met rights-holders, samenwerkingen uit te bouwen (bredere campagnes en coalities) en erkenning te bekomen bij politieke actoren en de publieke opinie voor de acties die ze ondernemen.

PROG2017-2021_structural costs 11.11.11 structuurkosten programma 2017-2021: Structuurkosten worden in België bepaald door het Koninklijk Besluit van 11 september 2016 betreffende de niet-gouvernementele samenwerking en verwijzen naar “de kosten die verbonden zijn aan de realisatie van het maatschappelijk doel van de gesubsidieerde organisatie en die, hoewel ze worden beïnvloed door de uitvoering van de interventie van ontwikkelingssamenwerking, niet afscheidbaar zijn noch op het budget van deze interventie kunnen worden aangerekend;” (Art. 1 12°). De subsidie voor structuurkosten wordt forfaitair vastgelegd op 7% van het budget van de directe kosten (Art. 29 §2). Structural costs are defied in Belgium by the law on non-governmental development cooperation (11 SEPTEMBER 2016. — Koninklijk besluit betreffende de niet-gouvernementele samenwerking) and refer to the costs related to the realisation of the societal objective of the organisation receiving the grant that - although influenced by the implementation of the intervention of development cooperation- cannot be separated and cannot be charged on the budget of the intervention for which the organization received the grant (Art. 1 12°) . Structural costs are calculated at a fixed rate of 7% of the direct costs of the intervention that received a grant (Art. 29 §2).
PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_ZSD5 Program Bolivia In Bolivia werkt 11.11.11 samen met organisaties die vanuit een rechtenperspectief opkomen voor andere ontwikkeling, gebaseerd op sociale en economische rechtvaardigheid en op een evenwicht met de natuur. Hoewel de regering van Bolivia haar beleid naar voor schuift als progressief, alternatief en duurzaam, zien we in de realiteit een beleid dat gericht is op economische groei vaak ten koste van de natuur. De talrijke sociale programma’s hebben de armoede verzacht maar blijven onvoldoende. Bovendien zijn de herverdelingsprogramma’s hoofdzakelijk afhankelijk van de gaswinning en dus niet duurzaam. Het discours van de president schuift telkens opnieuw 'el buen vivir' naar voren maar dit wordt in de praktijk uitgehold door de economische belangen. Het systeem is niet in staat om de sociale, economische en culturele rechten te garanderen, een halt toe te roepen aan de overexploitatie van natuurlijke rijkdommen en de destructie van de natuur. 11.11.11 werkt samen met organisaties die actief zijn op nationaal niveau rond sociale en economische rechtvaardigheid en milieu- en klimaatrechtvaardigheid. Ze ondersteunen rights-holders zodat deze beter in staat zijn om hun rechten te verdedigen en ze voeren gemeenschappelijke acties uit om het beleid te beïnvloeden.

De partners in Bolivia zijn: Fundación Jubileo, PBFCC, Colectivo Casa, Fundación Solón. En Bolivia, 11.11.11 coopera con organizaciones que defienden otro tipo de desarrollo desde una perspectiva de derechos, basada en la justicia social y económica y en el equilibrio con la naturaleza. Aunque el gobierno de Bolivia presenta su política como progresista, alternativa y sostenible, en realidad a menudo vemos una política dirigida al crecimiento económico a expensas de la naturaleza. Los numerosos programas sociales han aliviado la pobreza pero siguen siendo insuficientes. Además, los programas de redistribución dependen principalmente de la producción de gas y, por lo tanto, no son sostenibles. El discurso del presidente cambia repetidamente "el buen vivir", pero en la práctica esto se ve erosionado por los intereses económicos. El sistema es incapaz de garantizar los derechos sociales, económicos y culturales, de detener la sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales y la destrucción de la naturaleza. 11.11.11 coopera con organizaciones que trabajan a nivel nacional en la justicia social y económica y en la justicia ambiental y climática. Apoyan a los titulares de derechos para que puedan defender mejor sus derechos y llevar a cabo acciones conjuntas para influir en la política. Los asociados forman parte de plataformas regionales a través de las cuales promueven acciones conjuntas. La cooperación con el 11.11.11 permite a los asociados reforzar sus vínculos con los titulares de derechos, desarrollar asociaciones (campañas y coaliciones más amplias) y obtener el reconocimiento de los agentes políticos y la opinión pública por las medidas que adoptan. Los socios en Bolivia son Fundación Jubileo, PBFCC, Colectivo Casa, Fundación Solón.

PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_ZSD7 Program Philippines In the Philippines, 11.11.11 engages in partnerships with CSOs that are advocating for a more equitable and sustainable economy, in balance with the environment. They propose alternatives to change the current policies in their country as these have widened inequality, making the people even more vulnerable to ecological disasters. These partners are composed of and support "rights-holders" to ensure that they are in a better position to claim their rights. The program will help to increase the pressure on government and private sector to ensure that human rights are protected and fulfilled as the partners continue to pursue ecological, economic, and gender justice. The main demands of both the CSOs and rights-holders are related to the mainstreaming of the rights-based approach in the policies and daily operations of government institutions. Special attention is paid to the protection of human rights defenders actively working on ecological and economic rights. The partnerships offer opportunities to the partner-CSOs to strengthen their ties with rights-holders (thus, reinforcing their legitimacy), to develop strategic partnerships (broadening their campaigns and coalitions), and obtain wider recognition from policy actors and public opinion. Key partners of 11.11.11 are: APMDD, ATM, Bantay Kita, Focus on the Global South, FDC, NGO Forum on ADB, and PMCJ. New partnerships will be explored with PKKK, an organization working with rural women, PAHRA, a network on human rights, and Tipanan, a consortium of our institutional partners which aims to strengthen their financial autonomy.

The outcome will guide the implementation of targeted interventions and strengthen partnerships among stakeholders.
Institutional Strengthening Activity Armenia - IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE PROJECT (WATER TO MARKET) - Institutional Strengthening Activity: MCC Funding will be used to: (A) Support organizational reforms and institutional strengthening of the WSA; (B) Build administrative and operational capacity of the WUAs and the developing federations of WUAs; and (C) Support the establishment of a professional irrigation association. The institutional strengthening of the WUAs under the Water-to-Market Activity will also increase the capacity of WUAs to finance themselves through member contributions and water charges. Investing in human capacities (farmers' technical and management skills and approach toward the market) to transform their enterprises to be profitable by competing in commercial markets significantly contributes to the financial sustainability of the irrigation system. Improved capacity of credit organizations to on-lend to rural borrowers will be sustained and expanded as new profit opportunities in the value chain emerge.
Improved Profitability of WUA Member Activity Armenia - IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE PROJECT (WATER TO MARKET) - Improved Profitability of WUA Member Activity: The activity addresses the physical, managerial and financial investments needed to generate sustainable increases in rural incomes through irrigated agriculture. These investments will be implemented through building the management capacities of the WSA and WUAs and providing training and access to credit for member farmers to transition to more profitable, market-oriented agriculture (the "Water-to-Market Activity"). MCC Funding will be used to: (A) Provide member farmers with access to technology and training in on-farm water management and higher value agricultural production; (B) Provide training and consulting to individual member farmers, farmer groups and small and medium enterprises on post-harvest, processing and marketing investments; and (C) Build capacity within credit organizations and provide funding to such credit organizations which will on-lend to member farmers and related enterprises. Credit organizations will receive training and capital to expand financial services targeted at WUA member farmers.
Armenia-Compact In 2006, the U.S. Government's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and the Government of Armenia signed a compact designed to reduce rural poverty through a sustainable increase in the economic performance of the agricultural sector. The Government of Armenia, in consultation with local civilian society groups and MCC, identified improvements in the agricultural sector as critical to increasing food security and economic growth in the country. The compact program includes one of Armenia's largest ever irrigation infrastructure refurbishments, accompanied by strategic assistance to the nation's farmers, agribusinesses and water supply institutions, as well as investments in rural road construction and maintenance. The Armenia Compact was restructured due to escalating global construction costs and currency fluctuations in October 2008. In addition, following the June 2009 meeting of the MCC Board of Directors, MCC did not resume funding for any further road construction and rehabilitation under the compact due to concerns about the status of democratic governance in Armenia. This effectively reduced the original $235 million compact to approximately $177 million. About 25 kilometers of pilot roads were completed prior to this decision. To date, 150 kilometers of MCC-funded road designs are now being funded by the World Bank.

Description of Company and Purpose of Project Flecol Lda (Flecol, the Company) is a small Angola detergent manufacturing company. The company intends to expand into the production of a range of bath and laundry soaps and small quantities of candles. The company has invited Messrs. Ruda and Peltokangas to take shareholding in the company and invest some money to finance the proposed soap project. The plants products will be sold on the domestic market. The equipment will be purchased from Vaasan Saippua Oy Finland. IFC''s investment will contribute to the creation of 35 jobs and help bring to Luanda some economic activity at a time when Angola is reconstructing after the protracted civil war. The investment will also help develop the local soap industry which currently has only one manufacturer, and introduce some of the latest soap making technology to Angola. Environmental Category and Issues This is a category B project according to AEF''s environmental review procedure. Environmental issues associated with this project include site setting and conditions, liquid and solid wastes disposal; handling and storage of chemicals materials and oil; recycling of solvents and oils.

Enterprise Bank of Angola EBA will be a new, target group oriented bank with the objective of providing, on a country-wide, financial services basis that are specifically tailored to the needs of client groups at the lower end of the market. In its business operations, the bank will focus on credit extension to private micro and small enterprises and on savings mobilisation from these enterprises, salaried workers, private individuals and the general public. EBA will have two main groups of products: instalment loans and other banking services, including current and savings accounts (in Kwanzas and in USD) and national and international payment services. EBA will provide loans of between $100 and $50,000, to finance fixed assets and working capital of micro enterprises and small businesses. IFC is a leader in Microfinance: IFC''s experience over a range of microfinance projects has shown that establishment of a specialized financial institution dedicated to microfinance provides a focused and efficient means of reaching the SME target group. Due to the small size of typical microfinance banks, streamlined credit evaluation procedures and appropriately tailored MIS and micro-loan monitoring technologies can be put in place quickly. High efficiency levels for SME lending are therefore achieved in a relatively short timeframe. EBA will draw on these and other lessons from IFCs experience with building financial institutions and emerging best practice in microfinance institutions. The proposed investment in EBA is expected to be strongly developmental -- in terms of its economic impacts, stimulus for business reconstruction, employment generation, confidence-building in the banking sector, and introduction of commercially-oriented microfinance techniques to Angola. In addition to poverty alleviation and related impacts within the SME target group, IFC''s involvement in EBA is expected to yield a number of important demonstration effects. First, establishment of EBA will provide for a best-practice financial institution with sound operating policies, transparent financial reporting, environmental screening procedures and a clear governance structure. Over time, IFCs involvement in EBA is expected, to lead to the replication of commercially-oriented MFIs in the market and downscaling by Angolas existing commercial bank operations to serve SMEs. Third, technical assistance provided to EBA is expected to generate spill-over benefits in the form of trained managers and employees available to other Angolan financial institutions. Lastly, EBA will contribute to mobilizing SME savings in due course, although this will not be its initial focus.

Breve illustrazione dell'iniziativa con particolare riferimento ai seguenti elementi essenziali contenuti nel documento di progetto: origini e contesto dell'iniziativaIl Rakhine è recentemente balzato agli onori della cronaca internazionale in relazione alla crisi della popolazione Rohingya. In realtà, sia le autorità locali che la comunità internazionale sono da tempo impegnate nell’area con iniziative volte a mitigare sia situazioni di conflitto, sia eventi naturali straordinari (inondazioni). Da alcuni mesi l’attenzione ha iniziato a concentrarsi sulle tematiche del sottosviluppo e della povertà, che sono alla base dei conflitti etnici e dell’instabilità dell’area. Al fine di individuare e lavorare su tali tematiche, il Governo birmano (insediatosi nell’aprile del 20162) ha nominato una Commissione Consultiva sul Rakhine (Kofi Annan Commission - KAC) guidata dall’ex Segretario Generale delle Nazioni Unite Kofi Annan.3 La KAC individua infatti nella povertà e nel sottosviluppo del Rakhine uno degli elementi che alimentano i conflitti in corso, suggerendo la realizzazione di interventi di sviluppo economico come misura di mitigazione. Il patrimonio culturale assume una posizione di rilievo nelle raccomandazioni della KAC, con particolare riferimento alla valorizzazione del sito monumentale di Mrauk-U. Il Governo del Myanmar ha ufficialmente assicurato il suo impegno nel dare seguito alle raccomandazioni contenute sia nell'Interim Report (marzo 2017) che in quello finale, pubblicato il 24 agosto u.s.

Strengthening adolescent and youth empowerment and community-led access and response for protection services in Jordan. 1-Engage a strong base of supporters from younger and older adolescents and allies from community to encourage change in negative practices and counter opposition on GBV. 2-Improve youth access to quality SGBV and CMR services. 3- Increase community-based awareness and knowledge on GBV and SRH. • Adolescents aged from 10-19 years old with their caregivers. • Health care providers at the private hospitals. • Community based organization (CBO) members. • Community members (Women, girls, boys and men). The Project aims to achieve several objectives centered around addressing gender-based violence (GBV) and improving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes. Firstly, the initiative seeks to engage a diverse range of supporters, including younger and older adolescents, as well as community allies, to advocate for positive change in harmful practices and attitudes towards GBV. Through mentorship programs and empowerment initiatives, participants are equipped with leadership skills, enhanced knowledge of SRHR, and increased awareness of GBV issues. This approach aims to foster a supportive environment where young people feel empowered to challenge social norms and advocate for their rights. Secondly, the project aims to enhance access to quality services for survivors of SGBV and comprehensive medical response (CMR). By training community-based organizations and healthcare providers, the program ensures that individuals are equipped to identify and refer GBV cases to specialized services. Additionally, the establishment of GBV protection committees within private sector hospitals strengthens coordination efforts and ensures adherence to GBV protection standards. Finally, the project focuses on raising community awareness and knowledge on GBV and SRH through targeted initiatives. By delivering key messages and innovative approaches during national events and community-based activities, the program aims to shift attitudes and promote positive behavior change regarding the rights of women and girls. These efforts are crucial in creating a supportive environment where survivors feel empowered to seek help and access the services they need. Overall, the project's multi-faceted approach addresses the complex issues surrounding GBV and SRH by empowering individuals, improving access to services, and fostering community-level change. Through collaborative efforts and targeted interventions, the program aims to create a safer and more inclusive society for all.
Institutional strengthening support to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. On 27th September 1961, Sierra Leone was approved by the General Assembly as the 100th Member States admitted to the United Nations following the recommendation of the Security Council. A notable voice and a model in peacebuilding, the Mission of Sierra Leone to the UN contributes to the work of the organization and acts as a conduit for its capital-based stakeholders. Sierra Leone will serve as a non-permanent member of the Security Council for 2024 – 2025 term.Achieving these ambitious aspirations requires effective partnerships, enhanced technical and financial capacities which is why Sierra Leone is seeking support from our Bilateral Partner to recruit staffing to support the New York office; establish and operate a Situation Room at Headquarters of the MoFAIC. This Situation Room will serve as the nerve centre for Sierra Leones UNSC engagements during the tenure. The team in the Situation Room will support the technical operations of Sierra Leone’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York from October 2023 to December 2025. It will also serve as a hub for strategic planning, information analysis, and policy coordination, evidence-based advisory notes development which will facilitate informed decision-making, public diplomacy, advocacy, and strategic planning to bolster Sierra Leones engagement at the UNSC.
Project for the Reconstruction of Health Care Facilities in the Great South . Based on the principle of human security, the project aims to support the government authorities recovery efforts to improve the living conditions of the people affected by the earthquake. Building upon the experience and lessons learned from interventions during the 2010 post-earthquake and post-Matthew 2016 periods and to strengthen governance for reconstruction and livelihood restoration in areas affected by the 14 August 2021 earthquake , UNDP will engage in supporting the government of Haiti in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of national public health local infrastructure in the Great South departments, where the health situation at the departmental level is precarious, impairing people’s access to health care and endangering their safety because of the structures’ dangerous conditions. The reconstruction of these facilities will focus on the Henry sugar factory health center (100m2), Chantals health center (100m2), the health center of Camp-Perrin (100m2), the Maniche health center (150m2), and the wall fencing of the health center of Les Cayes (190ml). In addition, given the countrys vulnerability to natural disasters, the project will also structure the establishment of a Rapid Response Team (EIR) at the departmental level, which will serve as a prototype for scaling up in other departments.
Insertion and support of rural youth entrepreneurship_Fund Wind This project, targeting rural youth in the communes of Ferrier and St. Raphael located in the North-East and North departments of Haiti, intends to support their professional integration while improving their training, in order to respond to local demands and also promote economic initiatives (microenterprises and capacity building). At the end, the project aims to improve the income of youth, women, people living with disabilities and vulnerable households through sustainable and decent jobs. It also aims to support the populations living in the target areas to improve their living conditions and environment. Moreover, the basis for a pilot action to overcome the fragility of the targeted communes will be initiated.Through this project, two (2) communes will see an improvement in their level of basic social services, 10 womens organizations will be strengthened, 500 young women and youth will have income-generating activities to reduce their vulnerability, 15 young entrepreneurs will see their firms strengthened to be real actors of development.The project will thus contribute to the localization of SDGs, particularly SDGs 1, 5, 8, 10, 11 and 17.
Mama en Pikin Welbodi Project The project will take place in five of the most remote chiefdoms in Bombali and Karene, Northern Sierra Leone. It will support 115 Community Health Workers to identify and refer approximately 450 malnourished children under five, 500 unvaccinated children, and 4,500 pregnant women to health services, especially those in households living with disability. These beneficiaries will benefit from project health/nutrition education activities and access to improved health/nutrition services and outreaches. 900 target households with particularly vulnerable pregnant mothers and or vulnerable children will also be further supported to establish low-cost home gardens and poultry/sheep/goat pass-on schemes. This will contribute to improved health and nutrition of pregnant women and children under five by reducing incidences of under- and malnutrition by improving community feeding and hygiene practices and improving the health system’s capacity to deliver quality health and nutrition services.
SONEB - Fonds de Transition Eau Composante Eau Potable en milieux urbain et périurbain Les activités programmées par la SONEB dans le cadre du programme sont : 1- Acquisition de kits de branchements particuliers à réaliser à coût réduit au profit des populations à faibles revenus; 2- Renforcement du système d'AEP d'Abomey-Calavi par le raccordement du forage F1 au réseau d’eau existant; 3- Renforcement du système d'AEP d'Abomey-Calavi par la réhabilitation des quatre forages d’exploitation existants. La deuxième phase du Programme Pluriannuel d’appui au secteur de l’Eau et de l’Assainissement (PPEA II) s’était assignée comme objectif global, la vision nationale de l’eau qui est « En l’an 2025, les ressources en eau du Bénin seront exploitées et gérées en assurant l’équité et la paix sociales, la durabilité environnementale et l’efficience économique... ». Ce programme était subdivisé en cinq (05) composantes dont la cinquième, gérée par la SONEB, est relative à l’approvisionnement en eau potable et à la gestion des eaux usées en milieux urbain et périurbain. A ces cinq (05) composantes s’ajoutent les aspects transversaux (Gouvernance, genre, équité, changements climatiques, lutte contre le VIH/SIDA). La composante 5 du programme a porté sur l’amélioration du niveau d’accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement des eaux usées en milieux urbain et péri-urbain pour les populations à faibles revenus. Les différentes activités développées dans le cadre de ce programme ont contribué à l’amélioration du taux de desserte en eau potable en milieu urbain qui est passé de 68 % en 2013 à 84 % en 2015. La SONEB a bénéficié de l’assistance technique de COWI/IGIP pour la mise en œuvre de la composante 5. Sur la période 2013-2015, elle a enregistré une bonne performance avec un taux de consommation des crédits de l’ordre de 111 %. Les activités de la composante 5 se sont déroulées normalement jusqu’à la date du 06 mai 2015, où le Gouvernement du Royaume des Pays-Bas a décidé d’arrêter toutes les activités de ce programme à la suite de l'audit de l’exercice budgétaire 2014 réalisé par le Cabinet FCG. En dépit des investissements réalisés, des efforts d’amélioration sont encore à faire au plan de la couverture des besoins en eau potable et assainissement en milieux urbain et périurbain. Les grands défis actuels du secteur s’articulent autour des préoccupations fondamentales ci-après: - assurer dans un contexte d’urbanisation galopante, la mise en œuvre intensive de toutes les activités permettant d’alimenter 100 % de la population urbaine et périurbaine à l’horizon 2021; - garantir la pérennité et la continuité du service public de l’eau potable et de l’assainissement dans les centres urbains et secondaires - renforcer et sécuriser les capacités de production des systèmes d’alimentation en eau potable; - améliorer le taux de raccordement des populations notamment les plus pauvres, aux réseaux d’eau potable; - sécuriser la fourniture de l’énergie électrique en vue de la production continue d’eau; - mettre en place de nouvelles stations de traitement des boues de vidange; - privilégier la mise en place de réseaux d’eaux usées semi-collectifs dans les zones où cela est possible; - Réhabiliter et étendre les systèmes d’assainissement semi-collectifs existants; - Réhabiliter les systèmes d’épuration existants et doter les nouveaux systèmes d’assainissement par des stations d’épuration adaptées - Mettre en place des systèmes de gestion durables pour les infrastructures d’assainissement, en conformité avec le respect de l’environnement et les stratégies nationales. Les principaux défis et enjeux dans le domaine de l’eau et de l’assainissement nécessitent un effort soutenu de la part des acteurs qui doit être focalisé sur: • la mobilisation des ressources financières nécessaires à la mise en œuvre des programmes d’investissement; • Une conscience accrue de la gestion de la ressource en eau ; • La gestion des rejets d’eaux usées; • La gouvernance et la transparence dans la gestion des fonds. A cet effet, le fonds de transition mis en place par le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas contribuera au développement du secteur de I’AEPA en milieux urbain et périurbain au Bénin. - Durabilité institutionnelle L’appui néerlandais au secteur de l’eau au Benin s’aligne sur les politiques et procédures nationales. A ce titre, il intègre le cadre politique, juridique et institutionnel du Bénin. La SONEB, est un établissement public avec lequel l’Etat a signé un contrat plan qui fixe les objectifs et obligation de chaque partie. Elle a toute l’expertise et l’expérience en matière de technique et d’organisation de la production, refoulement, pompage, stockage et distribution d’eau potable. La qualité de l’eau vendue est régulièrement contrôlée par les laboratoires de la SONEB et de la DNSP. La SONEB est reconnue par tous les acteurs du sous-secteur comme étant une “entreprise de référence”. - Durabilité environnementale La sécurité de l’accès à l’eau au Bénin est une question en relation avec les changements climatiques, la faiblesse des précipitations, les inondations, la couverture en équipements structurants. Le principe, lors de la réalisation d’un forage d’exploitation, est de donner des consignes d’exploitation (un certain débit pendant un certain nombre d’heures). Un souci qui reste est l’intrusion d’eau saumâtre en zone côtière dans les aquifères qui sont pompés pour alimenter des systèmes d’AEP de grande envergure. Un réexamen des essais de pompages réalisés avant la mise en opération des forages concernés, pourrait éclaircir si les débits actuels de pompage surpassent les limites de sécurité établies à l’époque. L’accélération dans le développement du sous-secteur de l’assainissement des eaux usées permettront de réduire la pollution de la nappe phréatique, la pollution de la nature (la mer ou autre) par des effluents de stations d’épuration dysfonctionnelles et les risques pour la santé publique, notamment en cas d’inondations. Les objectifs à atteindre par la SONEB sont: - Augmenter la capacité de production d'eau du système d'alimentation en eau potable de la ville d'Abomey-Calavi et ses environs; - Augmenter le nombre de personnes desservies en milieux urbain et péribain particulièrement les populations démunies.
SONEB Bénin - Projet OmiDelta - AEPHA OmiDelta Le Royaume des Pays-Bas a décidé de poursuivre son appui au secteur de l'Eau et de l'Assainissement à travers le programme OmiDelta mettant en jeu trois modalités de financement dont une ligne de crédit au profit des Acteurs Étatiques gérée par la Caisse Autonome d'Amortissement (CAA). Ledit Programme permettra d'améliorer d'une part l'accès à l'eau potable, l'accès durable à l'assainissement et d'autre part d'élaborer un plan Delta multisectoriel pour la Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau dans le delta de l'Ouémé. La SONEB fait partie des structures de mise en oeuvre de ce Programme. Elle interviendra dans l'approvisionnement en eau potable et dans l'assainissement des eaux usées en milieux urbain et périurbain. Les activités prévues par la (SONEB) dans le cadre de ce programme sont : - Renforcement des systèmes d’alimentation en eau potable des villes secondaires de Bassila, Adjarra et leurs environs : - Elaboration des Plans Directeurs d’Assainissement des eaux usées des villes d’Abomey et Bohicon ; - Renforcement des capacités. Les villes de Bassila et Adjarra connaissent un développement urbain assez significatif alors que les capacités de production de leurs systèmes d’AEP sont très insuffisantes et les réseaux d’AEP de la SONEB n’ont pas enregistré d'évolution significative en extension et en densification. Il s'en suit que les taux de desserte de ces localités évalués à fin 2017 sont globalement faibles respectivement 06 % et 16 %. La mise en œuvre de ce projet rentre dans le cadre du renforcement des systèmes de production existants ainsi que de l'extension et la densification des centres secondaires périphériques. Par ailleurs, les villes d’Abomey et Bohicon ne disposent actuellement d’aucun système adéquat de traitement des eaux usées. Les excréta sont évacués par des ouvrages d’assainissement autonomes (latrines traditionnelles en général) et les eaux usées ménagères sont rejetées dans l’emprise des concessions ou sur les voies publiques. Le système de gestion des eaux de ruissellement dans ces villes est limité à quelques caniveaux à ciel ouvert qui constituent de véritables pièges à hommes. Le taux de desserte de la ville de Bassila est estimé à 06% à fin 2017 et celui de la ville d'Adjarra est estimé à 16% à fin 2017. Le nombre de personnes desservies à Bassila est de 3 450 sur une population urbaine de 53 480 habitants en 2017. Le nombre de personnes desservies à Adjarra est de 13 068 sur une population urbaine de 98 274 habitants en 2017. Les villes d’Abomey et Bohicon ne disposent actuellement d’aucun système adéquat de traitement des eaux usées ni un outils de planification et d'orientation pour les investissements futurs dans le domaine de la gestion des eaux usées.Soit une population urbaine de 219 885 habitants (77 960 habitants à Abomey et 141 925 habitants à Bohicon) qui ne disposent pas actuellement d’un système adéquat de traitement des eaux usées dans ces deux villes. Ce programme vise à : - Renforcer les systèmes d’alimentation en eau potable des villes secondaires de Bassila, Adjarra et leurs environs :  Réalisation de l'étude d'impact environnemental et social ;  Exécution des forages ;  Réalisation des travaux d'infrastructures d’AEP ;  Contrôle et surveillance des travaux d'infrastructures ; - Elaborer les Plans Directeurs d’Assainissement des eaux usées des villes d’Abomey et Bohicon ; - Renforcer les capacités. Pour le renforcement des systèmes d’alimentation en eau potable, ce sont les populations des villes de Bassila, Adjarra et leurs environs. Pour l'élaboration des Plans Directeurs d'Assainissement des eaux usées, ce sont les populations des villes d'Abomey, Bohicon et leurs environs
Building Resilient Communities in Somalia: A nutrition sensitive Resilience building programme (SHARP) To support and accompany vulnerable Somali communities and systems on their path to restoring and strengthening their resilience to shocks and stresses within the framework of the development goals stated in National Development Plan and UK Humanitarian Reform Policy. BRCiS is designed in such a way that adaptive programming contributes to enhanced learning and coordination for all stakeholders, providing building blocks for long-term resilient development. Outputs Actively contribute to shaping collective approaches to achieving sustainable outcomes in resilience in Somalia, through mainstreaming adaptive management and scalable innovations Protect vulnerable populations from the impact of shocks and stresses through safety nets and actual early action Promote market integrated, shock-proof livelihood opportunities Set the ground for community managed risk reduction through Natural Resource Management, improved governance and early warning systems Enhance access to and utilization of basic services for key vulnerable populations
BRCiS 3: Humanitarian Assistance and Resilience Building in Somalia (HARBS) Building Resilient Communities in Somalia (BRCiS) is a humanitarian Consortium that takes a holistic approach to supporting Somali communities in developing their capacities to understand and manage hazards and shocks so that they can build a better future for themselves. Created in 2013, the Consortium now has eight members and is led by The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). It manages a portfolio of contracts implemented in all Federal Member States of Somalia and funded by various donors, including FCDO, the World Bank, USAID, QFFD and more. BRCIS 3 is the third programme for the BRCiS Consortium, and it will aim to improve the health, food security, and nutrition status of marginalised communities by restoring vital ecosystem services through community-led regeneration and strengthened, more inclusive natural resource management (Output 1) and increasing demand for and sustainable local production of nutritious food (Output 2). BRCiS will also engage members of marginalised communities in diverse market-based livelihoods and financial inclusion initiatives (Output 3) to increase their access to financial assets, meet basic needs and increase investment in collective and individual resilience capacities. Additionally, BRCiS will engage local leaders and community-led structures to become more inclusive and better understand, advocate for and manage community priorities (Output 4) and in parallel establish and strengthen functioning, sustainable Early Warning, Early Action (EWEA) systems (Output 5), enabling communities be more inclusive, better organised, able to respond collectively to shocks from their own resources, raise additional resources when needed, and protect the most vulnerable. Across all outputs, BRCiS will integrate environmental risk assessment and management, gender equity and social inclusion.
Somali Health and Nutrition Programme (SHINE) The project will support the Somali Health Authorities in 10 targeted districts (Abdiazir, Bondhere, Hamarweyne, Hodan, Shangani, Shibis, Waberi, Wadajir, Wardhigley, Yaqshid) in Banadir to: 1. Increase access to, utilisation and quality of health and nutrition services at community, primary and secondary health levels, especially for women, children and vulnerable populations and; 2. Strengthen the health system under the stewardship of the Somali Health Authorities (SHAs). The project’s approach focuses on strengthening the SHAs’ capacity at the regional, district and community levels to deliver the EPHS (core services 1-6). Lessons from Joint Health Nutrition Programme (JHNP) and other programmes, identified a critical management gap at the district level in Banadir. A core focus of the project’s methodology is therefore to support the Regional health Officer (RHO) in Banadir to establish and develop a District Health Management Team (DHMT) in each of the 10-targeted districts. Having an operational management body at district level, within the SHA structure, will be an essential component of ensuring that the health facilities and community/female health workers (CHWs/FHWs), in their respective districts, are able to receive the technical, management and logistical support required for them to successfully deliver integrated, quality, health and nutrition services that the population can access. This is a structure and model that has been demonstrated to be successful in other health systems (e.g. in Kenya). The consortium will work closely with the RHO throughout the project to establish, develop and support the DHMTs.
Integrated Emergency lifesaving Health, Nutrition, WASH and Protection support for vulnerable populations affected by adverse effects of El Niño in South Central Somalia In early 2023, the World Meteorological Association (WMA) forecasted a high probability of wetter-than-normal conditions throughout Somalia from July to November 2023, pointing to an El Nino event above moderate intensity that might pose significant challenges for the population. Thirteen of the 23 districts supported by the consortium were categorized as high-risk districts, with the predisposing factors being: 1) situated on riverine locations, namely Afgoye, Balcad, Belet Hawa, Dollow, Luuq, and Wanlaweyn; 2) situated afoot the Ethiopian highlands runoff area - Hudur and Elbarde; and 3) low-lying flash flood-prone districts of Deynile, Kahda, Galkacyo, and Baidoa (Somalia 2023 El Niño Flood Risk Analysis, WASH Cluster Aug 2023). The El Nino rains occurred in many districts of Somalia from mid-October 2023 to mid-December 2023. Of the 13 high-risk districts, Afgoye, Baidoa, Luuq, Dollow, Bardheere, Hudur, and Galkacyo experienced severe flooding with massive population displacements (Caafimaad+ program data). The El Nino event exacerbated the then-existing humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations, with WASH, food security, and health being the most affected areas. From October 2023 to March 2024, the Caafimaad+ Consortium implemented an FCDO-funded integrated emergency health, nutrition, protection, and community WASH response in 13 districts at high risk for El Nino flooding. Flooding from El Nino worsened the humanitarian effect of the protracted multiple seasons of drought and resulted in disease outbreaks, such as cholera, for which the consortium responded in Deynile from late December 2023 to March 2024, and measles outbreak in Belet Hawa district, for which the response was mounted in February 2024. Other districts experiencing outbreaks are Balcad with cholera and Elwak with measles. In both cases, responses are underway through the ECHO crisis modifier. The Gu rains expected in early April 2024, coming shortly after the El Nino rains, are predicted to be heavier than normal and might cause severe flooding, given the ground saturation from El Nino floods. The rising trends of infectious diseases such as cholera and measles, as illustrated by weekly updates (FMOH IDSR Weekly Epidemiological Bulletin, and FMOH AWD Sitrep), might become more widespread. The project aims to contribute to reducing the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with the Gu rain-related floods and disease outbreaks among vulnerable populations in the districts of Afgoye, Baidoa, Bardheere, Galkacyo, and Luuq.
EQ Phase 1 [FSL Support for Earthquake-affected Populations in Northwest Syria (NWS)] ltpgtA magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck central Türkiye and northwest Syria (NWS) on 6 February 2023, that were further followed with more than 1,200 aftershocks, causing widespread damage. According to OCHA, as of 9 February, seven million individuals are estimated to have been affected by the earthquake across Aleppo and Idleb Governorates. Thousands are reported to have died and many more have been injured the numbers are rising by the hour and the situation is grave amid the harsh winter conditions. The disaster took place during a harsh winter with negative temperatures, snowfalls, and floods. Affected families face urgent needs including shelter, non-food items (NFI) such as blankets, mattresses, hygiene items, and food.ltbrgt ltbrgt Within this project, IOM will support 9,500 households, representing approximately 47,500 vulnerable persons (9,500 women, 9,500 men, 14,250 boys, 14,250 girls) through three months of cash for food. In line with Food Security and Livelihood (FSL), IOM will target Salqin, and Harim subdistricts in Idleb Governorate and Atareb, Afrin and Jindiris subdistricts in Aleppo Governorate. The cash amount per month per household will be USD 75. This value is based on the FSL Cluster’s guideline of 70 per cent of the survival minimum expenditure basket (SMEB) plus 15 per cent to account for inflation as coordinated with FSL Cluster. Within this project three rounds are foreseen, and each round of cash covers 30 days. To implement activities under this project, IOM will contract IYD following its internal procurement and financial procedures.lt/pgt ltp class="sceditor-nlf"gtltbrgtlt/pgt

Envelope 1: "Enhance The Resilience of EQ Affected Population in NWS by Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance " ltp class="" style=""gtOn 6 February 2023, two major earthquakes devastated large portions of northwest Syria (NWS). This disaster took place in the midst of an existing protracted humanitarian crisis comprising food insecurity, a lack of livelihoods,  a lack of access to basic services, having a worsening coping strategy ( child labor, begging, early marriage, domestic violence, etc). Thus, the earthquake deepened the prolonged crisis.  In light of these urgent needs, ltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtIYD, throughout this proposed project, is looking forward to increasingly focused on implementing its relief-to-recovery strategy by assisting eligible households who were affected by recent EQ to meet their basic needs where many vulnerable families are either receiving inadequate assistance or not receiving at all as well as decreasing the protection risks at the community and HHs level especially the negative coping strategies mentioned above thus, IYD will implement the following activities:lt/spangtlt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt- Provide 1,150 HHs living in two locations in Idleb - Jiser Ash-shugur district Jiser Ash-shugur community and Idleb - Jiser Ash-shugur district Bdama, Kherbet Eljoz community with regular Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance MPCA of $ 100 value on a monthly basis for 5 rounds (the estimated harmonizing amount by the  CWG). Through providing regular multi-purpose cash assistance, 1,150 HHs (5750 individuals, 1215 women, 1032 men, 1690 girls, and 1813 boys including 225 PWDs) will have the flexibility to increase the ability to purchase daily needs on access critical services from 15th June 2023 to 114th January 2024. IYD will target HHs based on Initial selection criteria which have focused on the affected by recent EQ and the needs of vulnerable people, gender disparities, and disabled people, where the eligibility criteria included the following (both IDPs and host community):lt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt1- The priority is for families affected by the earthquake.lt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt2- The priority is the family that hosts a displaced family as a result of the earthquakelt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt3- The priority is for families whose businesses were affected  by the earthquakelt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt4- ltspan style="line-height: 107%"gtType of vulnerability of the family (eg house destroyed, loss of family members, loss of head of household, livelihood, loss of the source of income, displaced due to earthquake, living in tents or temporary settlements, hosting internally displaced persons (IDP) from recent EQ, etc.lt/spangt ltbrgtlt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt5- Families that are not receiving any similar assistance.lt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt6- Families that contain special cases within the family (a family headed by a woman - widows - chronic diseases, missing members).lt/pgt ltp class="MsoNormal"gt7- Families with no regular income / limited income (30 USD per member ).ltbrgtAccording to IYD scope of work to implement MPCA intervention the main activities will be as follows:ltbrgtI.

Emergency Response to the Earthquake affected people and individuals at high risk by the provision of in-kind, non-food items and cash assistance. ltpgtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtThe project at hand aims to contribute to the Earthquake Response by distributing cash for winter and, non-food items for the earthquake-affected persons in the areas of displacement. Violet through this project will build on the existing response and apply a complementarity approach to other projects. Through this project, Violet aims to help the most vulnerable cope with the displacement harsh winter conditions by implementing the following activities:lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt1. Addressing the needs of 1078 HHs for essential NFIs by the distribution of NFI kits and Kitchen sets. However, Violet will contribute to the project by procuring 1078 Non-food items kits from other funding sources and will procure the Kitchen sets under this project. Both kits will be distributed to the same households to maximize the project impact. The Kitchen sets and Non-food items Kits have been designed based on the standard kits and in accordance with the SNFI Cluster guidance. Violet will procure the Kitchen sets from the local markets since the needed items are available in Syria at reasonable prices.ltbrgt2. Provision of Life-saving One-off winter cash assistance for 3600 HHs. The winterization cash amount (150 USD) was designed based on the SNFI cluster guidance to cover the necessary winterization items to allow the beneficiary households to cope with the current winter conditions. However, Violet will adopt the SNFI and CWG recommendations in case of any change. Winterization cash will also contribute to protecting the beneficiaries against hard winter conditions especially after losing their houses and belongings following the earthquake in Northwest Syria. It will also contribute to mitigating the risk of storing fuel for a long time by BNFs. Cash modality was selected to allow BNFs to secure their needs in a dignified and flexible way. Moreover, cash modality contributes to market recovery through disposing of cash in the market and may create new job opportunities. The cash will be distributed to the beneficiaries through contracted Financial Service Providers knowing that Violet has two existing active FWAs with FSPs. Accordingly, Violet confirms its readiness to immediately start the implementation once the GA is signed. Before cash distribution, RNA, and market assessment in terms of availability of the winterization items, the prices, and the accessibility will be conducted to ensure the markets are functioning and all BNFs have good and equal access to markets.ltbrgtThe project will focus on targeting both the Displaced and Host Community members who have been affected by the earthquake, displaced to the project areas, and inhabitting the IDPs camps and non-completed buildings since they are considered most vulnerable and prone to the harsh winter conditions. the response priority will be given to women-headed HHs, HHs with children, elderlies, PWD, pregnant, and lactating women.ltbrgtFurthermore, Violet has secured multisector funding for the earthquake response such as Food baskets, cash for food, Hygiene kits, and other emergency response activities which can be used and distributed to the project's targeted beneficiaries in order to ensure an effective and comprehensive response.ltbrgtDuring the project implementation, Violet will ensure close coordination with the other actors and SNFI and CCCM Clusters to ensure a coordinated response and to avoid potential overlapping.lt/pgt

Enhancing access to livelihood opportunities, essential services, and community infrastructure in NW Syria through a flexible integrated ERL programming approach (Envelope 1) ltpgtWhite Hands (WH) proposes a 7-month action that uses a flexible integrated programming approach that includes a comprehensive ERL response with a focus on appropriate flood prevention works on roads and related infrastructures and enhancement of humanitarian assistance delivery and access to essential services, main markets, and livelihood opportunities in prioritized IDPs sites and nearby host-communities affected by poor weather conditions in Idleb and Aleppo governorates.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project formulation has been based on needs identified by the ERL cluster, supported by an MSNA conducted by WH in Oct 2023 and firsthand consultations with camps management and local authorities/stakeholders. It aims to rehabilitate crucial civilian infrastructures, including roads and related drainage systems, and provide vocational training and livelihood opportunities to enhance resilience and living conditions of 32828 most vulnerable IDPs (7129 women, 6505 men, 8598 girls, and 10596 boys), including 451 PWDs currently residing in 26 camps in the sub-districts of Dana (Idleb) and Atareb (Aleppo).lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtTo achieve this objective, WH will conduct the following ERL interventions:ltbrgt1. Rehabilitation of 2 main access roads (7.3 km) serving 16 camps in Idleb governorate (Dana SD) and 10 camps in Aleppo governorate (Atareb SD). The proposed targeted roads are currently heavily damaged and have been affected by floods in most of their parts in recent years. This action will lead to timely, safer, and uninterrupted access for humanitarian aid and workers to more than 26 IDP camps in 5 communities. This will prevent access issues and disruption of linkages with host communities, affecting local economic recovery, and will improve movement and mobility for livelihood opportunities.ltbrgtThe rehabilitation of the roads will notably improve the implementation of WH and other NGOs' activities in camps, such as IYD/WFP, ACTED, ATAA, SR, IhsanRD, Shafak, and HIHFAD, which carry out WASH, CVA, food, and winterization activities. The targeted roads will also enhance market linkages between IDP sites, host communities, and main markets to facilitate greater market functionality and reduce dependence on in-kind assistance.ltbrgtThis component will be guided by TWiG on Floods Risk Reduction, Good Practice Guide for Road Rehabilitation in NW Syria, Mar 2022, and ensuring that HLP documentation is well carried out in parallel with field coordination with the relevant local councils.ltbrgt2. Provide vocational training to 200 IDP applicants in the targeted camps, including youth, women, and PWDs, then support the top 50 VT graduates with Small Business Grants to rehabilitate, develop, or start a social or business entrepreneurship initiative or income-generating pilot projects.ltbrgt3.

This allocation will critically provide funding to prevent these services from eventually shutting down at a time when PSEAH-related risks are obviously at an all-time high and a common, harmonized approach to addressing new and emerging risks is critical. The RMU directly reports to the DRHC and supports the broader humanitarian community in managing these risks and thus serves a key function for the Cross-Border operation.lt/spangtltbrgt ltbrgt ltbgtltspangtOutcome 1: PSEAHlt/spangtlt/bgtltbrgt ltspangtThe inter-agency PSEAH Network consists of two hubs (NWS and NES) as well as over 350 focal points across 186 UN agencies, INGOs and NGOs (116 in NWS and 70 in NES). The NWS PSEAH hotline was established in April 2019 and has since served as the only inter-agency CBCM. In line with the 2023-2024 PSEAH Programme strategy and the AAP Action Plan for change (annexes 6,7 and 12), this project aims to capitalize and expand the existing PSEAH CBCM which includes a hotline (calls + SMS + WhatsApp + email) to receive complaints concerning acts of wrongdoing, including fraud, corruption and facilitate two-way communications with communities. Similar to the PSEAH CBCM, this channel will be open to all aid actors and will operate on behalf of the Cross-Border humanitarian aid community.

Dignified shelter for EQ affected men, women, boys and girls - EQR Phase 1 ltpgtThe project aims to provide live-saving shelter assistance for people affected by the earthquake in the Atareb sub-district in NWS by providing dignified shelters for earthquake-affected families who lost their houses because of the earthquake and are seeking shelter in existing camps with their relatives and in collective centers. The project will enhance protection and safety and provide better shelter conditions for 166 HHs, 809 individuals affected people (roughly divided into 156 men, 173 women, 229 boys, and 251 girls), especially for women, girls, and people with disabilities (70 PWDs) in Atareb sub-district, Aleppo governorate. The project will aim to provide the necessary improvement in the infrastructure and install dignified shelter Al Salam camp and one separate sector in Basmet Amal camp, whereas the other sectors in the camp benefit from concrete houses that an association will provide. Also, the project will cover one sector in Hourti camp while the WATAN organization covers the other sector. It was coordinated with them and the camp administration to coordinate the implementation of the works and prevent overlap in the beneficiaries. The project will cover the needs of new families displaced by the earthquake residing within the camps and collective center adjacent to the camps in addition to families from the original camp residents who live in old, worn tents that do not protect them from harsh weather conditions and do not meet the standards of protection and dignity. The largest part of the camps already has good infrastructure, but there is still a need for some additional work on roads, sanitation, and water drainage channels. 166 shelter units consisting of two rooms and facilities (a kitchen and a bathroom) will be constructed using sandwich panels with facilities built of bricks, in addition to the associated infrastructure in line with the dignified shelter guidelines and case studies to mitigate the impact of weather conditions, prevent flooding and facilitate access to shelter and services in the camp to ensure better protection, privacy and dignified living conditions for men, women, boys, and girls. Due to adding new shelter units for earthquake effected families in the camps, the area of the site needs some expansion. Accordingly, the sewage and drainage channels will be expanded, and the road network will be developed. The ownership of the land is public property. HLP due diligence was completed, and required approvals were obtained. The project locations were selected according to needs assessment and met the allocation strategy’s priorities. The project will contribute to enhancing the local market and operating local businesses. MEAL team will closely monitor all activities and conduct PIM and satisfaction surveys to ensure timely delivery of services at the required quality and quantity while adhering to humanitarian principles and standards.

With the earthquake, this number is likely to increase as the devastation caused homelessness, additional displacement and overcrowding at the reception centres. At the same time, markets and supply lines have been interrupted, stripping women and girls of the possibility to care for their needs in dignity and safety.  UNFPA continues to report that women and children are being exposed to serious protection risks such as GBV, particularly in lack of housing alternatives and/or informal settlements where makeshift WASH facilities do not provide for privacy. The need for dignity kits, inclusive of hygiene and safety items, is repeatedly reported as urgent, allowing implementing partners of UNFPA to create  a safe environment for individual disclosures and referrals, along with the ability to safely inform about available services and mitigate the risk of exploitation and abuse of targeted communities. The Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA), along with the GBV AOR Capacity assessment and UNFPA’s service review after the earthquake inform that Shelter and NFIs are topping the priorities of women and girls in need. However, in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake the ability to safely engage with women and girls in these or similar assessments was limited as the field teams dispersed, resulting with the RNA giving less specification on the NFI and other needs specific to gender or age.  UNFPA Türkiye Cross Border (TXB) immediately engaged in response to the earthquake, among other ways, through intensified provision of dignity kits for the NWS’s communities most severely impacted by this disaster. UNFPA Dignity Kits (DKs) provide the basic hygiene and safety related items to protect the affected towels, such as reusable sanitary pads, towels, underwear, flash lights. Upon consultation with the distribution partner, UNFPA TXB carried out TPM focused on the content of DKs and based on beneficiary feedback proposes customisation with items tailored to the context such as antibacterial wipes and sanitary napkins.  As a GBV AOR cluster lead and main provider of dignity kits in NWS, UNFPA proposes to purchase and tranship 22292 lt/spangtltspan style="font-size:8ptfont-family:Arialcolor:#000000background-color:#fffffffont-weight:700font-style:italicfont-variant:normaltext-decoration:nonevertical-align:baselinewhite-space:prewhite-space:pre-wrap"gtcustomizedlt/spangtltspan style="font-size:8ptfont-family:Arialcolor:#000000background-color:#fffffffont-weight:400font-style:normalfont-variant:normaltext-decoration:nonevertical-align:baselinewhite-space:prewhite-space:pre-wrap"gt dignity kits, and distribute to most needed through mobile protection teams of Ihsan Relief and Development (Ihsan) NGO. Besides meeting the basic, lifesaving needs, and enabling safe entry to further lifesaving GBV or protection services, the provision of these dignity kits will significantly enhance the gender sensitivity of the overall emergency response to earthquakes.Given the limited amount of funds available paired with increased cost, the provision of the dignity kits will be conditioned with the set of criteria clearly developed by the GBV programme and GBV AoR - to enable delivery to the most needed among all survivors of earthquake and designed to include women and girls with disabilities or without care, women and girls in acute medical or protection emergency, separate or unaccompanied girls or female headed households among others.

The two powerful earthquakes and multiple aftershocks that hit north-west Syria in February 2023 further exacerbated protection risks and access to critical and lifesaving GBV services. UNFPA estimates that around 1,125,000 women and girls in north-west Syria are of reproductive age and in need of lifesaving and life-sustaining protection and reproductive health services. Additionally, 1,770,257 women and girls are in urgent need of GBV services. According to OCHA, at least 53,000 families have been displaced and are in need of dignified shelters.  Of those, a significant percentage of the people have found shelter in camps and reception centres, with 108 newly established reception centers reported to be established in order to accommodate the displaced population. Living conditions for those impacted are increasingly difficult, particularly in light of overcrowded living spaces and the heightened risks of experiencing multiple and intersecting forms of violence.  UNFPA continues to report that women and children are being exposed to serious protection risks such as GBV, particularly in lack of housing alternatives and/or informal settlements where makeshift WASH facilities do not provide an adequate level of privacy. lt/spangtlt/bgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltb id="docs-internal-guid-a95dc50d-7fff-ba90-cb83-4fc44c855b8a"gtltbrgtlt/bgtlt/pgtltp style="line-height:1.38text-align: justifymargin-top:0ptmargin-bottom:0pt" dir="ltr"gtltb id="docs-internal-guid-a95dc50d-7fff-ba90-cb83-4fc44c855b8a"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial color: rgb(0, 0, 0) background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255) text-decoration-color: initial white-space: pre-wrap"gtThe need for Dignity Kits (DKs), containing hygiene and safety items, has been repeatedly reported as urgent.

Post-earthquake debris management and recycling project to facilitate local level recovery and rehabilitation in quake affected NW Syria. ltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtDue to the two magnitude 7.8 and 7.7 earthquakes that occurred on 6 February 2023 in southeastern Türkiye, more than 4,500 deaths and 10,400 injuries have been reported in north-west Syria according to the Health Cluster, with at least 10,600 partially and completely destroyed buildings. As per the ERL cluster, there is a need to remove a minimum of 650,000 m3 of building debris which affected some 800,000 people in northwest Syria, while 464,000 m3 of debris have been removed and should be recycled to ensure local recovery and avoid using the land for debris disposal in detriment of other uses.

UNDP work will build on the existing debris removal project that is being implemented under SCHF funds to respond to the earthquake in the target locations. UNDP will work in partnership with BINAA, a national NGO which has experience in both ERL activities and in the field in general. UNDP will be responsible for the overall management of the project and its oversight against programmatic and fiduciary risks through efficient contractual arrangements and administrative support. This will ensure timely implementation of the project, and high quality of activities and the program deliverables. Moreover, UNDP’s early recovery and livelihoods team as well as debris management specialist will provide technical guidance and expertise to ensure the quality and appropriateness of debris and rubble recycling. Blt/spangtltspan style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtased on extensive experience in post-disaster debris management, UNDP has existing SoP to conduct the recycling process of the debris that has already been collected and reported by the ERL partners. Without recycling the huge amounts of debris, the large quantities may cause serious hazards such as contamination of land and water resources from contaminated wastes within the debris, decomposing waste within the debris attracting vermin and pests, physical dangers from children playing and scavenging amongst the debris, generation of dust from debris, and large areas of potential agricultural land being used for debris disposal. The recycling of debris also lays the foundation for improved environmental management as part of the recovery process and later for increased opportunities in improved waste management.lt/spangtlt/pgt
