The Village Development Associations are bonded together by a memorandum of understanding (MOU). The parties intend for this MOU to provide the foundation and structure and coordination framework for the socio-economic and cultural development of the People of Noni. This alliance has been legalized by the government of Cameroon on February 5th ,2021. The purpose is to unite all Noni Villages Development Associations (VDAs) under an umbrella platform that would coordinate and facilitate reflections and development actions in Noni and among Noni people. Primary Activities: 1- Holding regular meetings to reflect on common matters affecting the socio-cultural and economic development of Noni people 2- Organising sporting events that provide opportunities to develop talents among Noni youth 3- Organising cultural events to educate on, expose and preserve the Noni culture 4- Carrying out development projects that provide solutions to basic needs of Noni people 5- Providing capacity building opportunities through seminars and workshops for Village Development Associations (VDAs) in Noni to help them better manage develop programmes.

Al-Salaam Football School was founded in 2005 by Falah Ashoor, a former Iraqi refugee in Denmark, and his brother Jamal Ashoor, with a mission to promote reconciliation and peaceful co-existence between Iraqis from different demographic groups. In collaboration with Cross Cultures, the Ashoor brothers used the OFFS project as a springboard for Falah’s repatriation to Iraq and succeeded in establishing a football club inspired by the Danish association model, with an elected board, statutes, transparent administration, active membership etc. The club started out by arranging football training in a landfill in Bagdad, but has since managed to secure proper facilities for trainers, volunteers and children participating in the daily sport- and educational activities as well as OFFS, festivals and football coach courses. Today, Al-Salaam is an accomplished civil society organization, specialized in sports organizing, mobilizing volunteers and collaborating with a broad range of civic and public actors across the country and has experience cooperating with the Danish embassy in Bagdad, the Swedish international development agency (SIDA), various UN agencies and INGOs. Moreover, the organization enjoys solid relations with municipalities and authorities across the country, the Ministry of Sport and Youth as well as the Iraqi Olympic Committee.

ALTERPLAN is a technical service NGO that promotes popular participation in planning. We have been around since January 1990, starting with a group of young women architects striving to contribute to the vision of a just and democratic Philippines with a nurturing built environment. Our work concerns space and the built environment as focal points for community organizing and development. Partnering with people’s organizations and NGOs in various parts of the country, we came to realize that the role of architects and planners was not only, and in some cases not so much, to design and build structures, as to help ensure that the conditions in the natural and built environments of people and communities were supportive of their aspirations. We support the efforts of underserved communities, their organizations, and other civil society groups in expressing those aspirations. We advocate a planning attitude and planning processes that recognize the ability and right of people to make informed decisions for themselves. We also work with local governments and national government agencies that animate participative processes in urban planning and management.

Amnesty International Ghana is a Section of Amnesty International. Amnesty International is a global movement of over 7 million supporters in over 150 countries around the world. We are campaigning for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. In 1961, British lawyer Peter Benenson was outraged when two Portuguese students were jailed just for raising a toast to freedom. He wrote an article in The Observer newspaper and launched a campaign that provoked an incredible response. Reprinted in newspapers across the world, his call to action sparked the idea that people everywhere can unite in solidarity for justice and freedom. This inspiring moment didn’t just give birth to an extraordinary movement, it was the start of extraordinary social change. Amnesty has grown from seeking the release of political prisoners to upholding the whole spectrum of human rights. Our work protects and empowers people - from abolishing the death penalty to protecting sexual and reproductive rights, and from combatting discrimination to defending refugees and migrants’ rights. We speak out for anyone and everyone whose freedom and dignity are under threat. In Ghana Amnesty International focuses on ending Gender Based Violence, Abolishing death penalty and advocating for improved prison conditions.

Amnesty International Moldova (AIMD) was founded by a group of students from the Faculty of Law of the Moldova State University. It functioned as an initiative group of Amnesty International (AI) without staff and office. In 1994, the initiative group was formally recognized by the AI Secretariat, and in 1998, it became a fully-fledged NGO. As of 2018, AIMD has become a section. Since its establishment, AIMD has been a cornerstone of Moldova's human rights advocacy, prioritizing Human Rights Education (HRE) to empower youth in claiming and defending their rights. Leveraging its deep understanding of local contexts and challenges, AIMD has collaborated extensively with the Ministry of Education to introduce HRE as an elective subject in schools, developing tailored curricula and teacher guides. Moreover, AIMD's endeavors extend beyond education, evidenced by its initiatives combating the shrinking space for civil society. Today, the organization’s key activities include HRE in schools, trainings for defense lawyers and other legal professionals, fighting discrimination and promotion of social, economic, and cultural rights. Furthermore, AIMD has implemented comprehensive interventions to address issues like bullying, school aggression and social distance, fostering inclusive and respectful environments within educational settings. These efforts are informed by consultations with stakeholders, including students, teachers, and civil society partners, ensuring that interventions are tailored to the specific needs of communities, particularly in rural areas, which have been most affected by shrinking space. AIMD's approach reflects a holistic understanding of human rights challenges, rooted in grassroots insights and a commitment to empowering individuals and communities to advocate for their rights effectively. The main partners and supporters of our interventions during the last 5 years have been the Embassy of the Netherlands, German Embassy in Moldova, and SDC.

Amnesty International was founded in 1961 by Peter Benenson, a British lawyer. It was originally his intention to launch an appeal in Britain with the aim of obtaining an amnesty for prisoners of conscience all over the world. The committee working for this cause soon found that a detailed documentation of this category of prisoners would be needed. Gradually they realized that the work would have to be carried out on a more permanent basis; the number of prisoners of conscience was enormous and they were to be found in every part of the world. Amnesty International is a world-embracing movement working for the protection of human rights. It is independent of all governments and is neutral in its relation to political groups, ideologies and religious dividing lines. The movement works for the release of women and men who have been arrested for their convictions, the colour of their skin, their ethnic origin or their faith – provided that they have not themselves used force or exhorted others to resort to violence. It is this category of prisoners that Amnesty International calls “prisoners of conscience”. The movement proclaimed 1977 “Prisoners of Conscience Year” and collected signatures for an appeal addressed to the General Assembly of the United Nations. To begin with, Amnesty International was a British organization, but in 1963 an international secretariat was established. Seán Mac Bride – later awarded the Nobel peace prize – became chairman of the organization in 1963, at a time when Amnesty International was rapidly expanding. Ten years after its foundation the organization comprised more than 1000 voluntary groups in 28 countries and the figures are steadily rising. In February this year (1977) there were 1874 groups in 33 countries.

In 2010 a census was taken to count the producers who had cocoa plots which were abandoned due to low production and low prices paid by buyers. It is for these reasons that the idea of creating an organization that represents them and starting to reactivate the cocoa production arises. In 2012 there was technical support from Forests of the World. It was in that same year when we began with the process of fermentation of cocoa ourselves (in bags), to achieve a small increase in the price.

MOPAWI is an experienced Honduran NGO that has worked in Moskitia since 1985. The work was motivated by the arrival of Nicaraguan refugees during the 1980ies war in Nicaragua. This called for support in an abandoned indigenous area with challenges related to basic needs such as water, sanitation, health, production and economic development, where focuswas on the capacity development of youth. Our organisation contributes to the development of capacities of the communities, organisations, local church and families of the Moskitia, in the new challenge represented by climate change for the management of sustainable integral development. We were the first organisation to re-take the issue of collective land rights and bilingual-intercultural education in favour of indigenous peoples, after priest Manuel Subirana obtained territorial titles for Tolupan and Pech in Yoro and Culmí, and Werner Marx worked in bilingual-intercultural education with Moskitia indigenous peoples. Besides, MOPAWI has gained experience in for example lobbying for collective land titles as territorial rights and maintaining cultural identity for all ethnic groups. Collective territorial titles were gained after more than 20 years of lobbying, and a bilingual-intercultural program was adopted by the Government’s Secretary of Education, but discontinued later on. After territorial collective rights were gained, we started gaining experience in governance of collective territories and natural resources. Our activities are related to our objectives: a) Accompany indigenous communities and organisations in their regulatory processes for the democratic governance of their legalised territories or for legalisation. b) Develop capacities and methods for the restoration of ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity, advocacy for the reduction of climate change and other equivalent. C) Contribute to the reduction of poverty, developing capacities related to production models, processing and markets.

AJS was founded in 1998 by a group of four Hondurans and a North American couple working in Honduras. After years of working in development before AJS was created, its founders realized that despite their best efforts, their initiatives were failing because too many laws, policies, and systems in Honduras did not respect the needs and rights of the poor. In short, these efforts failed because of injustice. Since 1998, AJS has worked to promote justice, especially for the poor and the oppressed. Over the past 18 years, AJS has become one of the most respected and influential organizations working in Honduras, receiving recognition from around the world for their bravery, persistence, and innovation. From a single part-time employee, AJS has grown to a busy and still-growing office over 65 employees working actively for peace, security, and transparency in Honduras. AJS works at both the community and national level to build accountable government institutions that are able to guarantee Honduran citizens’ rights, freedoms, and safety. Its primary activities focus on four main axes: 1) Education, 2) Health, 3) Security and 4) Transparency and Democracy. To do so, the organization implements a cyclical intervention strategy with four major components: 1) monitoring and evaluation performance, 2) in-depth research, 3) Propose solutions based on research and 4) Advocate for systemic changes.

Flama was the dream of Alejandra Rodriguez Larrain Bustamante in 2017. After several years of design and planning, Alejandra founded Flama with Alexia Polis Vander Elst in 2019. Flama – Fundación Peruana de la Mujer y el Deporte (Flama - Peruvian Women in Sport Foundation) was founded, with the goal of leveling the playing field for girls and women through physical activity, play and sport. However, our motivation was not just to create space or physical activity programs. When we play, we enter "the field" with all of our values. These can be enhanced or curbed within the sports environment. At Flama, we want values such as fairness, team spirit, leadership, generosity and others to join all of our activities. We are an organization seeking for girls and women’s equity in sports in Peru. We are working today so that in the future every girl and woman will participate in sports being aware of her inner flame, which motivates her to have an active participation in the society she belongs to. In 2020 Covid19 came to change our plans. The face-to-face projects had to be cancelled and could not be so easily replaced. However, we decided to see an opportunity in the crisis and launched the “Activa tu Flama - Actívate en casa” (“Activate your Flame – Activate at Home”) program, a program that got many girls and women moving; whose results and scope surprised us positively. Our achievements, would not have been possible without the generosity of wonderful people who donated to the cause; without the “Flama Volunteers”, a dynamic group of men and women who support us in every activity required to launch and develop a program. In addition, we are fortunate to have many companies and organizations (our beloved Flama brands or companies) that collaborate with Flama. We usually call them “Flama companies". These companies support us with goods or monetary donations for programs.

Care At The Core of Humanity (CATCH) was founded and registered as a Trust in 2007 and subsequently became a Private Voluntary Organization in 2012. 0ur focus is to ensure that child rights are protected. Most specifically, we ensure that the rights of children in contact/conflict with the law are respected and promoted. Our work in the community over the years has revealed that children are the most vulnerable group. Therefore, there is a lot of work to do in reducing their vulnerability. In Zimbabwe, there are children that need rehabilitation due to the diverse forms of violations they would have suffered. One of the major gaps is the limited availability of services in comparison to the high demand for services. As CATCH, our aim is to provide accessible services to children and link them with other specialized service providers. We partner with other NGO’s to ensure that each child receives all the services they need. Our Organization mandate is to ensure that all legal and social welfare modalities and services required by each child in contact/conflict with the law are met in a safe and enabling environment. This empowers children to claim their rights. CATCH works to compliment the work of government departments such as the Department of Social Development, The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services, Zimbabwe Republic Police, Legal aid Directorate, Judicial Services Commission, Department of Prosecutions, Women Affairs and Gender, and the Health department.

Christian Mercy (CM) i Rwanda blev grundlagt i 1999 som en non-profit organisation, registreret som en non-profit i 2005, trosbaseret organisation i Rwanda og anerkendt af den rwandiske regering. Den blev skabt af Jackiline Hansen efter hendes besøg i Rwanda, især Gatsibo-distriktet i den østlige provins, hvor hendes mor blev genbosat efter folkedrabet mod tutsierne i 1994. Jackiline fandt ud af, at der var mange forældreløse og sårbare børn, der var ofre for folkedrabet mod tutsierne. Der var mange kvinder og børn, der levede med HIV og AIDS som følge af voldtægt, fordi voldtægt blev brugt som et våben af gerningsmændene mod tutsi-kvinder og piger. Mange af børnene havde ingen mulighed for at gå i skole, og mange droppede ud af skolen. Hun bemærkede også, at der ikke var nogen velgørende organisation i området. CM's mission var at støtte disse sårbare grupper, især piger og mødre, og give dem et bedre liv. CM forpligter sig til at fremme uddannelse og samfundets udvikling som helhed.

Operational regions for the organization include Amhara, Oromia, Sidama, and SNNPR. Before the National ECCE Policy Framework was issued, Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) was initiated by ESD in 2008 in its operational rural Ethiopia. ESD introduced the center-based, school-based, and community/village-based ECCE models. The Center Based Approach was the first effort for 4-6 year old rural children, and in 2008-2009, ESD built 4 model ECD centers. The facilities, which were constructed on the grounds of elementary schools, can accommodate 120 children (ages 4-6) for ECCE services annually. They serve as role models for various settings in the area and are currently held by the schools. As part of the extension of ECCE services in the targeted areas, ESD launched the School Based Approach in collaboration with the education sector (zone and woreda education offices and schools).

These centers have been taken over by the schools. In regions where it is still in operation, ESD continues to run ECCE programs in schools (North Shoa of Amhara and Oromia). To offer ECCE services to the target children who live in communities far from their individual primary schools, ESD established village-based centers (and for whom school-based centers are inaccessible). ESD continues to employ this tactic, and it will be broadened to include kids in isolated rural areas.

The work is carried out in accordance to the foundational sentences expressed in the Council of the European Union's statute and foundational treaties of the European Union.

The origins of the European Movement date back to July 1947, at a time when the cause of a United Europe was being championed by notables such as Winston Churchill and Duncan Sandys in the form of the Anglo-French United European Movement. The UEM acted as a platform for the co-ordination of organisations created in the wake of WWII. As a result of their efforts, the congress of The Committee for the Co-ordination of the European Movements took place in Paris on 17th July 1947 incorporating “La Ligue Européenne de Coopération Economique” (LECE), “l’Union européenne des Fédéralistes” (UEF), “l’Union parlementaire européenne” (UPE) and the Anglo-French United European Movements.

Important political figures such as Konrad Adenauer, Winston Churchill, Harold Macmillan, François Mitterrand, Paul-Henry Spaak, Albert Coppé and Altiero Spinelli took an active role in the congress and a call was launched for a political, economic and monetary Union of Europe.

FANT arbejder som udgangspunkt med udviklingsarbejde der ligger sig inde for rammerne af Danmarks udviklingspolitiske og humanitære strategi; Verden 2030. Tre fokusområder vil her blive uddybet; Verdensmålene, partnerskaber samt Menneskerettigheder & Demokrati. Verdensmålene sætter en naturlig ramme om FANT's arbejde, både i vores kommunikation udadtil men også i projektformuleringer osv. Den fælles globale vision og ambition, som verdensmålene og de øvrige aftaler er udtryk for, ligger i høj grad på linje med FANT's interesser, værdier og principper, vi har arbejdet for globalt siden 2012. Verdensmålene er unikke, fordi de gælder for alle lande og fordi alle verdens ledere har forpligtet sig til denne brede politisk og universel dagsorden, som alle har ansvaret for at løfte. Derfor inkluderer FANT ofte verdensmålene - og uddannelse heromkring - i projekterne i syd. Gensidige forpligtende partnerskaber er ligeledes en grundpille i FANT's internationale udviklingsarbejde. De kan antage mange former, varierende fra offentlige og private aktører til mellem private aktører til løst definerede netværk af partnere, herunder virksomheder, civilsamfund og forskningsinstitutioner. FANT arbejder med at kapacitetsopbygge demokratisk funderede civilsamfundsorganisationer i syd. Borgere alle steder i verden skal kunne vælge deres egen fremtid og bidrage lige til at udvikle deres egne samfund.

Overbevist om, at for så vidt angår kvinder, er fred ikke reduceret til fraværet af knitrende våben, men at det omfatter respekt for de menneskerettigheder, der påvirker de nævnte kvinder og større hensyn til dem, ønskede de, at navnet på deres organisation og målene forfulgt afspejler denne bekymring. Ud over væbnede konflikter var grundlæggerne af RFDP – og forbliver – bekymrede over konteksten af ​​ulighed, der forværres af dualiteten mellem diskriminerende skikke og skriftlig lov. Femmes pour la Paix et les Droits Humains (FPDH – Kvinder for Fred og Menneskerettigheder), som har hovedkvarter i den østlige del af DR Congo i Mwenga, nær Bukavu i Sydkivu. FPDH’s hovedformål er at fremme og forsvare sårbare kvinders rettigheder og arbejde for fred i området. Behovet for at bevidstgøre kvinder på landet om deres rettigheder er stort, da befolkningen på landet i Sydkivu ikke ved, at der er love mod seksuel vold, og dermed kan kvinderne ikke anmelde deres overgreb og få holdt deres overgrebsmænd ansvarlige. Efter en træningsworkshop om konflikttransformation afholdt i Entebbe, Uganda, startede to kvinder fra Sydkivu, som deltog i workshoppen, Women's Network for Defense of Rights and Peace. Konflikterne, som dengang prægede DRC og havde givet anledning til massive krænkelser af menneskerettighederne – ønskede kvinderne i Sydkivu, som var de største ofre for vedvarende krige, at skabe ramme for fredsopbygning. For kvinder er fred ikke reduceret til fraværet af knitrende våben men omfatter respekt for kvindernes menneskerettigheder. Organisationens navn og mål afspejler dette fokus. FPDH er bekymret over væbnede konflikter og konteksten af ​​ulighed, der forværres af dualiteten mellem diskriminerende skikke og skriftlig lov.

We were involved in reunifying over 400 children with their families and reconnecting over 700 more. FGN staff were “first responders” during the Nepal earthquake in 2015 to prevent a rise in orphanage trafficking by those taking advantage of the emergency conditions that existed in the hard-hit areas which left families homeless and destitute. FGN’s senior staff have experience in the training and capacity building of the Nepal Government and other like-minded organizations that worked alongside them. Our senior staffs have over 12 years’ of experience in child protection, human rights and social development.

• The GPU was established as the umbrella organisation for media professionals in The Gambia. • The mission is to safeguard the welfare and interest of journalism while promoting freedom of expression and professionalism in the media. • The registration of the GPU in 1979 was a culmination of a number of attempts, starting in the 1940s, which were all frustrated by the colonial government in charge of the Gambia as a colony then. A breakthrough was eventually made in 1979, six years after independence in 1965. • The Union has evolved from an organisation whose members used to gather under a veranda, to a prominent national labour and media rights organisation of international repute. • The GPU now boasts of a rapidly increasing membership base of more than 500 regular and freelance media professionals from print, radio, TV and online. The Union has a functioning Executive Board that provides strategic leadership and effective oversight; a highly motivated and qualified staff that run its day-to-day affairs; and an expanding network of national and international partners. • In over four decades, the GPU continues to pursue its founding vision of a Gambia where citizens and non-citizens are empowered with accurate and undiluted information to be able to make informed choices for society’s development. • The GPU is one of most democratic and resilient organisations in the country. The Union has since its inception been holding regular congress. There has been a change of leadership for the 7th consecutive time in September 2018. Since 2017, the Union is formally positioned to play a catalytic role in the fight for real reforms as the co-chair of the Media Reforms Committee in collaboration with the Ministry of Information and Communication Infrastructure. GPU is perceived by media and civil society organizations as the leading agent in advocacy for freedom of expression, freedom of information, and good governance – for a reason: GPU invites to join hands.

Gerlev Idrætshøjskole har været en højskole i bevægelse siden 1938, hvor Kristian Krogshede grundlagde landets første idrætshøjskole ved Gerlev Banke. Gerlev har siden sin grundlæggelse været stærkt optaget af at udvikle og skabe begejstring ved bevægelse og idræt. Højskolen har eksempelvis været pionér inden for friluftsliv som fag og pædagogisk aktivitet i Danmark. Og senest har det bl.a. været inden for parkour og dans, at Gerlev har medvirket til at rykke idrætsbilledet. På Gerlev Idrætshøjskole møder eleverne et alsidigt og fagligt læringsmiljø, der sigter på at give eleverne almen og demokratisk dannelse. Gennem mødet med mange forskellige typer idræt og bevægelse, søger vi med en udforskende tilgang at præsentere eleverne for de altment dannende kvaliteter i idrætten, og vi arbejder med en forståelse af tilværelsen, der rækker ud over idrættens rammer. Gerlev Idrætshøjskole forholder sig aktivt og debatterende til idrætten, kulturen og samfundet såvel lokalt som globalt. For os betyder det blandt andet, at idrætten indeholder spændende og udviklende kvaliteter. Når den går op i en højere enhed, indeholder den både kampen, legen, dansen og fordybelsen. Det gør livet også, og vi ser derfor her på Gerlev på idrætten som et fantastisk dannelsesfag, der giver mulighed for udvikling, modning, udfordring, oplevelser og erfaringer. Sagt med andre ord: den måde, vi underviser og mødes i idrætten, gør idrætten til langt mere end blot faglig fordybelse og dygtiggørelse. Netop muligheden for at dygtiggøre dig i et intenst og stærkt fællesskab af unge mennesker, der både vil noget med sig selv og verden, er med til at skabe de rammer, som vi synes kendetegner god højskole.

Ghana Developing Communities Association (GDCA), formerly Ghanaian Danish Communities Association, was established in the early 80’s as a counterpart to its Danish partners, Ghana Friends. The partnership has been based on friendship mooted by its pioneers led by Dr. Johannes Holm from the Danish side and the late Chairman of GDCA, Prof. Naa Abubakr Al-Hassan on the Ghana side. The partnership was to test direct cooperation between communities on the Danish side and their counterparts on the Ghanaian side. After four years of exchange visits, gifts, books, other educational materials, and other forms of value the partners decided to seek official funding. Consequently, a volunteer was sent from Denmark in 1984 to Ghana to explore the possibility of developing a project proposal. In that regard, the first DANIDA funding was established in 1986. Since then, the partnership has grown through several transformations. The organization has also grown by reaching out to other partners, such as UNICEF, Acting for Life in France, ADICE France, the EU, STAR Ghana Foundation, CARE International, Grameen Foundation, and many others, thus, expanding its scope and engagements. GDCA works mainly works to achieve social justice. In the regard, the organization works to promote citizens participation in development. Specific focus areas include community mobilization, capacity development of organization of community-based organizations (CBOs), supporting CBOs to demand for improved services from duty bearers such as local government authorities, authorities in education, health service delivery, agriculture, and other social services. GDCA also works to improve household incomes by giving capacity for local economic development, establishing groups of mostly poor women to save and get access to financial support from outside the groups.

GDCA has been implementing projects and programmes for more than 41 years and has adapted to and developed with the various trends in development work, and at the same time expanding in terms of thematic areas in our portfolio. As an umbrella organization representing several other organisations GDCA have contributed to bringing positive changes in various areas. Further, GDCA has cooperated with other international and national development partners for a number of years, and this is becoming a greater proportion of the organisation’s portfolio, bringing new inspiration, learning and challenges. It also places demands on the organisation in terms of adopting more strategic approaches to funding and strategic planning and management in order to optimize the organisation’s potential, but it is a challenge that GDCA have welcomed as it brings the organisation and work to new levels.

Before the establishment of the Gurababa Cooperative all the banking facilities were concentrated to the bazaar areas only and hence villagers especially farmers were not able to get saving and credit facilities. They were being cheated by informal money lenders taking high interest rates. Simalarly, villagers used to cultivate only seasonal grains and vegetables for their own consumption. They had no concept of off seasonal cultivation and business and they were far away from the access to goverment facilities. Their economic situation was so poor that neither could they nurish their families sufficiently nor provide them better health and edcuation. In order to change this situation 32 Tharu people of Rawatgaun and Chakhaura villages established the Gurababa Cooperative Organization Ltd on the date June 28, 2013 based on the principle of cooperative under the Nepal cooperative policy act 1992 with the aims to motivate its members to develop a regular saving habit and uplift their economic and social status by creating sustainable agricultural development through improved and environment friendly farming practices, agribusiness, saving and credit, and animal husbandry. A management team under the leadership of Baluram Chaudhari (managing director) worked voluntarily for 3 years. The team started to organise women, men and youth in self-help groups and youth clubs in the village areas and encouraged and motivated the villagers to start saving and credit in one hand and to lobby and dialogue with local government bodies for subsidy programs and facilities on the other hand. Initially they faced many problems in uniting the villagers and getting attention from local and provincial governments but eventually succeeded.

IAS Somaliland started in 1999 with a project for children with Special needs. The authorities were very reluctant in the beginning as they claim there are no children in Somaliland with mental handicaps. IAS however asked for the permission to do an assessment which was granted. The result was overwhelming to both us and the authorities. The children were chained in the houses and never seen on the streets! In collaboration with EU and IAS Denmark we launched a major programme for these children. The Government gave IAS Somaliland a building that was renovated. Toys were donated from Denmark. IAS Somalilandfurnished the school, trained teachers and later you could see the proud parents walking hand in hand to the school with their children. This sector has been the core sector for IAS in SLA since its beginning. IAS has got a lot of competence in this and the many trainings conducted by IAS for local organisations, teachers, parents, authorities have resulted in a more open climate when people don't fear to talk about mental disabilities. During time of humanitarian crises IAS has engaged in humanitarian work as well, such as water programmes.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles.

International Justice Mission (IJM) was founded in 1997 in Washington, DC, USA. As a global organization that protects people in poverty from violence. IJM partners with local authorities in 21 program offices in 14 countries to combat trafficking and slavery, violence against women and children and police abuse of power. Since IJM started working in the Philippines in 2000, the government has made rapid strides to stop traffickers from exploiting children in the commercial sex trade—closing bars that sell minors for sex and bringing pimps to justice. Studies have shown the number of minors available for purchase on streets and in bars once notorious for sex trafficking has plummeted between 75% and 86% in the cities where IJM has worked. Currently, IJM works with the government to stop Online Sexual Exploitation of Children in the Philippines. IJM rescues victims by helping Filipino authorities and foreign law enforcement agencies to identify and remove children from online sexual exploitation of children. IJM brings criminals to justice by helping police investigate and gather evidence so that traffickers and criminals facilitating online sexual exploitation are restrained. IJM lawyers help prosecutors press charges and build strong cases using all available evidence. IJM restores survivors by creating individualized care plans for survivors and working closely with a range of aftercare partners. IJM social workers help place survivors in aftercare homes where they can return to school, take vocational classes, and receive ongoing therapy. In addition to providing direct client care, IJM develops best practices and pioneering new tools for shelters handling cybersex trafficking cases. IJM strengthens justice systems by providing hands-on mentoring for law enforcement, judges and social services. The Philippines has strong anti-trafficking laws, and IJM helps to train authorities on how to implement them against this new crime.

ILRIG was founded in 1983 as a labour service organisation dedicated to research, education, training, and production of popular materials in the interests of then advancing unions and workers power. In the early 2000s, ILRIG’s overall focus shifted to the process of globalisation, focusing on working class critiques of the free market and the exploration of alternatives. ILRIG’s constituency also changed with an orientation jointly towards community movements and worker formations, with a view to facilitating greater unity. Within the last few years, globalisation has begun breaking down as an ideology. It is being replaced by an openly authoritarian form of neo-liberalism based at the nation state level and has been accompanied by the rise in popularity of regressive politics including xenophobia, ultra-nationalism and in some places even fascism. In this context, the need to build mass movements based on progressive politics, principles, values and ethics that can be a counter-power to capitalism, populism, authoritarianism, class rule, racism, sexism and the nation state is more important than ever. Through its research, popular education, publications, School and Provincial Platforms ILRIG’s energy is focused on assisting to build and capacitate such movements grounded in progressive principles, values and ethics. Our work is focused around supporting the self-organisation of four main groups (these are not mutually exclusive): communities, workers, women and youth. ILRIG also aims to bring the experiences of working and poor people in other countries to Southern African organisations, and to draw on this information to inform the search for alternative policies as well as assist in the development of strong bonds of international solidarity between social movements and trade unions.

Justiça Ambiental is recognised as a leading Mozambican NGO working on the impacts of Mozambique's rapid, uncontrolled and unsustainable development. “Justiça Ambiental” (JA!) means environmental justice, while “JÁ” means “now”, in Portuguese. JA!, formally registered in 2004, was founded by a group of family and friends who were concerned about the manner in which Mozambique was developing in the unregulated global economy. We were concerned that our leaders were adopting a pattern of destructive foreign-investment-driven industrial development. With our fledgling democracy, a relatively weak civil society, an inaccessible legal system, and a majority of our population dependent upon the natural environment for their very survival, we worried about sacrificing our country’s natural heritage and the sustainable livelihoods and environmental health of our people for the sake of corporate profits. A! raises public awareness and campaigns against damaging environmental practices in Mozambique. We focus on providing current information through research and support to communities faced with environmental/ social threats and aim to build community awareness and solidarity between communities. We support communities by providing strategic assistance, technical advice and information. We seek to build the community voice by: facilitating links between communities faced with similar environmental problems; supporting community campaigns including negotiations with industry, access to government decision makers/ officials, and access to the media; linking communities with national and international campaigns. In 2008 we were accepted as members of Friends of the Earth International (http://www.foei.org/), the world’s largest grassroots environmental network campaigning on today's most urgent environmental and social issues. Today we are active members in FoEI’s international campaigns.

JCT is a non-profit organisation registered with the law Society thus it has a certificate to practice law in Zimbabwe. JCT’s Vision is to see a Zimbabwe in which all children have access to justice and enjoy their human rights. Its Mission is to promote and ensure access to transformative justice and enjoyment of human rights by children. JCT’s work is embedded in child protection with particular emphasis on the human rights of children irrespective of their gender, age and status. In its infancy stages, the organization’s work was centered on separating children’s legal issues from women’s issues and this was done through sensitizing communities and stakeholders on the laws that were in existence whilst ensuring provision of legal services to children. From 2010 to date, the organisation strengthened its advocacy to ensure that children’s laws are reviewed and revised to be in line with the socio -economic and political realities of children in the 21st century. The advocacy agenda resulted in the 2013 constitution that have a section that protect the rights of children whilst from 2013 to date the organisation has been advocating for the alignment of the various laws to the constitution whilst strengthening the capacity of duty bearers on their roles and responsibilities as provided by the constitution and making these roles known by the rights holders so that they hold duty bearers accountable. JCT has implemented various projects whose thrust is to build the capacity of NGO staff members, their community cadres and also community members on the laws that protect children in contact and in conflict with the law and this has seen the formation of a strong movement of community paralegals in various communities at district, provincial and national level.

The Burmese military has ruled and waged civil war within the territory of the union of Burma for many decades. As a result, Kachin and non-Burman ethnicities have been enduring severe hardship, such as impoverishment, and lack of access to health and education. In 1994, a ceasefire agreement was signed between the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO/A) and the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), but did not lead to any political negotiation. Instead, the SPDC took advantage of the agreement to start large-scale extraction of natural resources from the territory of Kachin State. As a result, Kachin people faced increased threats to their safety, livelihoods and food security. Many young people, potential future leaders, became addicted and died of drug abuse. Lack of development and peace finally caused many Kachin to migrate and seek refuge in foreign countries. The number of Kachin migrants to Thailand has increased every year, with women outnumbering men. Kachin migrants in Thailand have faced many hardships in terms of shelter, job opportunities, and access to education, with women experiencing particular hardship, and requiring specific support. The Kachin Women’s Association Thailand-KWAT was established on the 9th of September, 1999 by Kachin women in Thailand in an effort to help address the suffering and hardship of Kachin people in Thailand, and empower women, raise awareness on human rights and political issues, and provide humanitarian support to Kachin communities in Burma. Vision:KWAT envisions a peaceful and developed society which is free of discrimination and oppression. Mission:KWAT is a non-profit organization which works to eliminate discrimination and violence against women, enhance the living standards of women and enable them to participate in decision-making processes at all levels, and strengthen the quest forsocial justice, peace and development in the Kachin region.

During the armed conflict in Marawi City in 2017, government and NGOs immediately responded to the unfolding crisis. DIB, ALTERPLAN, ICESDev, Feed the Children, and PHILSSA were among the NGOs that provided support and interventions to families displaced by the siege. In particular, these NGOs directed their assistance to community- and home-based internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Barangay West Pantar, Pantar Municipality, and Barangay Ubaldo Laya and Barangay Tomas Cabili in Iligan City. From the continuing cooperation, the IDPs in these areas grew convinced that working for their rights as a group of IDPs would be more effective than working individually. Thus, on December 27, 2017, the first organizational meeting of Lombay Ka Marawi was conducted.

The first Maher house opened its doors in 1997 in the small village of Vadhu-Budruk on the outskirts of Pune and functions to serve as the main refuge for those in distress. Maher first started out as a single shelter for women in need but quickly met with an influx of underprivileged children also pressing for help and provision. These children quickly outnumbered the women and Maher found itself expanding to encompass an ever-increasing number of satellite centres within the state of Maharashtra and is now in 6 states in India with 63 homes for both children, women and men. Besides the homes, their services range from awareness programmes to creches, kindergartens, tutorials, workshops, and self-help groups. Maher was not only created to help victims of domestic violence but to train the poor and illiterate to become self-reliant and consequently independent of Maher. For the first time in their lives many villagers are being provided with a practical understanding of their rights, duties, and responsibilities within society and of how they can stand united against unscrupulous landlords and moneylenders. During the pandemic the lifted a huge task of providing food, mask and sanitizer for the poor. Today Maher is an officially UN registered NGO - Non Governmental Organization. Over 4000 women and children have passed through the Maher experience and come out brimming with self-confidence and dignity. Those who cannot be reunited with their families, because of a trauma or other complications, continue to be looked after under Maher's watchful care, and many stay on, fully rehabilitated to work as housemothers or assistants. All inmates receive the highest quality diet, medical attention and psychiatric counselling available, irrespective of their caste or religion. All human beings and all religious faiths continue to be given equal weighting and all major festivals are celebrated with the same fervor.

MANQ’A was formed in 2014 in El Alto as the project Cooking Schools for Youth in Situations of Povery and Vulnerability. MANQ’A means "food" in the indigenous language aymara. They work to inspire young Bolivians to be successful and create opportunities for a better life through a renewed appreciation and consumption of local, organic products. MANQ’A is part of the Bolivian Gastronomic Integration Movement (Movimiento de Integración Gastronómico Boliviano, MIGA) and together they promote and encourage the wealth and heritage of Bolivian food. Thanks to the success of the project, ICCO together with Melting Pot Bolivia decided to establish MANQ’A SOSTENIBLE SOCIEDAD CIVIL in November 2017, with the goal of bettering the economic opportunities for underprivileged youth by training them to become cooks and food entrepreneurs. Their actions aim at the following target groups concerning the gastronomic food chain: a) Young cooks whose income increases by strengthening their technical training in gastronomy and interpersonal skills as well as new life projects. b) Small producers whose income increases with the rising demand for healthy and organic food products. c) Consumers whose food habits are improved by consuming healthy food made by the young cooks. The validation and success of the MANQ’A model has permitted it to be scaled up at both national and international level with a school in the capital Sucre and one in Colombia. MANQ’A has developed a sustainability strategy, which includes the implementation of social business in continuation of the MANQ’A schools: (i) Social Restaurant and Catering Services, spaces where the young people can show their skills, through creative and innovative gastronomical offers; (ii) Gastronomical Tourism, an experience where the young people guide the costumers/tourists who go on a tour from buying the local product at a popular market, and then going to a cooking class, tasting and sharing food experiences.

As a not-for-profit social enterprise, MAJAC is an advocate in its own right. It is guided by its mandate to strengthen democracy in The Gambia through quality and effective journalism and communication. Its mission is 'to build and nurture critical minds set for the rapidly evolving world of journalism and communication'.

The Organization has been providing Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (S&RHR) education workshops with local partner schools since May 2017 in and around Cali and Popayán in the South West of Colombia. During these 7,5 years, we have been providing different workshop programs with partner schools in low-income areas. Our objective is to facilitate S&RHR education so Colombian children and teens can live a free and informed sexuality. We are currently implementing different interventions: 1. Student workshops with focus on topics like anatomy, STIs, birth control, consent, pleasure, sexual diversity etc. 2. Family event as a way to break the taboo about sexuality. These events are held in collaboration with partner schools 3. Digital communication strategy to strengthen the information on different SoMe platforms as well as a blog, podcast, informational guides etc. 4. Supporting a rural area school on the creation of a S&RHR education program. We are in direct contact with the students, teachers and admin staff at the partner schools and we do our best to make the topics and workshops as relevant and useful for the target groups as possible.

In 2019, during a visit to a rural community in the state of Querétaro, we realized that comprehensive sexual and reproductive health rights (S&RHR) education was scarce and very necessary. We conducted workshops with approximately 200 adolescents which allowed us to see that our work in the area was viable. Our main purpose is to bring S&RHR education to adolescents through various workshop programs that cover topics relevant to the students' development, in addition to strengthening the knowledge on the S&RH rights that all human beings have. Our workshops are aimed at teenagers at partner schools in Querétaro and surroundings. We use a dynamic and participative approach within our work, create all materials ourselves and we strive to create a safe space for the students to ask all the questions they need. To complement the work at the schools, we run a digital communication strategy that includes relevant SoMe platforms, a podcast, a blog, informational guides, a teacher group on Facebook and a Youtube channel. This allows both teens, family members as well as teachers to continue informing themselves on relevant S&RHR topics. We facilitate S&RHR education mainly in public schools, but also some private schools who cater to low-income population.

MST is a social movement without legal registering, hierarchical organizational structure and centralized economy. MST is the implementing partner of the intervention, while Instituto Cultivar is the administrative partner. MST emerged in 1984 in the context of the Military Dictatorship and with the protagonism of rural workers fighting for land and democracy. The movement comprises 3 main objectives: fighting for land, fighting for Agrarian Reform and fighting for social changes in the country. With Brazil's redemocratization period, MST members were at the forefront of discussions about the social function of land, including in the construction of the new constituent. MST has since symbolized the struggle for the democratization of land in Brazil which, through Agrarian Reform, seeks to guarantee the country's food sovereignty, the preservation of the environment and better conditions of living for family farmers. The MST is present in all five regions of the country (24 states and more than 1,000 municipalities) mobilizing around 400 thousand families (an estimated 2 million people) who conquered the land through the struggle and organization of rural workers, in addition to approximately 70 thousand families who are camped in areas not yet approved for Agrarian Reform. Education is one of the priority areas of activity of the MST, which since its inception has developed educational processes and included as a priority the fight for the universalization of the right to school and quality education, from childhood to university. In this sense, the MST seeks to collectively build a set of educational practices towards an emancipatory social project, led by peasants and workers.

NairoBits is a registered trust out of Nairobi, Kenya in operation since 1999 with a focus on empowering the youth from urban informal settlements by equipping them with market-relevant digital skills. The aspiration, conception and birth of NairoBits started in 1999. The concept was to start up a web design institute in Nairobi for disadvantaged young people, motivated to share their skills as multimedia designers and offer chances to the youth in a time where the ICT space in Africa was evolving and largely untapped on the education front. The mission was to change the lives of the youth by building their skills and changing their mindset, from vulnerable to empowered people who could earn a living and uplift their communities as a result. We primarily target underserved youth from the informal urban settlements of Nairobi aged between 17 and 24 years of age largely disadvantaged in terms of basic human needs, including access to education and skills development. With over 20 years in operation we believe that in the midst of slums lies untapped potential that needs to be nurtured and given a platform to grow. The organization empowers youth from underserved backgrounds and low-income communities. Our operations are modelled around promoting creative and innovative use of ICT to create equitable opportunities for these youth enabling them to contribute to a workforce that positively impacts societies. While our core mandate remains in training ICT for socio-economic empowerment, we are keen on positive youth development which has led us to offer acumen programs in reproductive health, life skills, entrepreneurship and mentorship. Over the course of our work in Nairobi’s impoverished communities, we have trained over 9,000 youth in digital skills, many of whom have become successful in the job market. Our impact has been recognized by international awards, but most satisfyingly, the employment and success of our graduating students.

The UN believes 1 in 10 girls in sub-Saharan Africa miss school during their period – potentially. However, in many places, taboos associated with menstruation, combined with an overall culture of silence around the topic, limit the ability of women and girls to fully and equally participate in society, undermining their overall social status and self-esteem and putting their health at risk. Nambi Luna Foundation has been working alongside She for She, a social enterprise with the aim to equip and empower women in Uganda to produce and sell affordable and reusable pads to keep girls in school and offer affordable menstrual products for the every-day woman in Uganda. But menstrual pads can’t fix prejudice as distributing reusable pads is not a silver bullet therefore, we pair distribution with education. Our job is to speak up. We want to create a new normal around menstrual hygiene management. Giving woman an d girls access to reliable information, sensitise men around the topic, and encouraging policymakers to prioritise menstrual Hygiene Management are key to improving the health, education and living conditions of women and girls. We want to be a part of keeping menstrual Hygiene Management at the top of both social and political agendas despite the challenges that come with going against traditions. Girls have a right to know how to manage their menstruation. Women have the power to make their own decisions.

Nature Iraq is founded by Dr. Azzam Alwash.When Dr. Alwash left Iraq in 1978 to escape the Baathist regime, he took along with him impassioned memories of times with his father among the resilient marsh Arabs – memories that would eventually inspire a life of environmental activism aimed at restoring, protecting and preserving the delicate balances within Iraq’s ecosystem. After completing his BS in Civil Engineering at the California State University at Fullerton, and his Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Southern California, Dr. Alwash subsequently worked for twenty years as a soil and environmental engineering consultant in southern California. In 1997, he became active in Iraqi expatriate politics and joined the Board of Directors of the Iraq Foundation, an Iraqi NGO based in Washington, DC. Prompted by the release of a United Nation’s Environmental Program’s report in 2001 that detailed “one of the world’s greatest environmental disaster’s” – the desiccation of 90 percent of the Mesopotamian Marshlands at the hands of Saddam Hussein’s regime - Dr. Alwash and his wife, Dr. Suzie Alwash, founded the Eden Again Project and began to assemble a group of international experts to evaluate the potential for restoration of the marshes. Their scientific opinion was unanimous - the marshlands could and should be restored. By August 2003, Dr. Alwash took a leave of absence from his consultancy work to direct the Eden Again Project operations in Iraq – the seed for today’s Nature Iraq. More recently, Dr. Alwash joined the board of trustees of the newly established American University of Iraq – Sulaimani, where he founded the Twin Rivers Institute for Scientific Research, which will soon oversee the academic and capacity building activities currently lead by Nature Iraq.

I mere end 50 år har Oxfam Danmark bekæmpet ulighed og stået side om side med de mennesker, der kæmper mod uretfærdighed. Det begyndte med en håndfuld unge aktivister, der ville støtte kampen mod apartheid i Sydafrika og de undertrykkende regimer i Latinamerika. I dag er vi mange tusinde danskere, der bekæmper ulighed og insisterer på, at alle mennesker har ret til et liv fri for fattigdom og uretfærdighed. Samtidig er Oxfam Danmark del af det globale Oxfam og dermed af en bevægelse af mennesker, der giver deres tid, energi og ressourcer og virkelig tror på, at verden kan være anderledes. Vi skaber forandring ved at styrke det enkelte menneskes rettigheder og muligheder ved at sikre adgang til viden og uddannelse. Vi bidrager til fremskridt ved at støtte dem, der fremmer kollektive rettigheder og folkelig deltagelse til gavn for fattige og undertrykte grupper.

The effect of the Israeli military occupation has been very difficult for young Palestinians, particularly since the outbreak of the second Intifada in 2000. They witness their homes being unlawfully demolished, experience personal humiliation at checkpoints, suffer physical abuse and arbitrary detention and many carry the grief of having loved ones killed by the Israeli military. Moreover, they face the harsh reality of mounting responsibility in a tough economy with growing unemployment rates. Too many young people ended up in the streets, where they struggle to make a few shekels by selling sweets, recycling rubbish or cleaning the windows of cars waiting at the checkpoints. The Circus School began as a small circus group in August 2006. Shadi Zmorrod and Jessika Devlieghere, initiated the idea to introduce circus arts from Palestinians for Palestinians. The substance of the circus pedagogy is to stimulate and develop the physical, mental, artistic, sensitive, social and cognitive abilities. In January 2006, the Belgian circus school ‘Cirkus in Beweging’ offered to come to Palestine to train people to become involved in creating a permanent circus education in Palestine. After three weeks of intensive training, the first performance of the school, “Circus Behind the Wall”, was presented in August 2006 at Ashtar Theatre in Ramallah. More than 250 people attended the show. August 2006 to January 2007, the group continued training without a permanent base. It succeeded in delivering 7 performances in Ramallah, and one in Bethlehem. In 2007, Mays Hajjaj and Fadi Zmorrod, part of the key group, became the first trainers of the Palestinian Circus School, soon followed by Nayef Abdallah in 2008, to guarantee the continuous training of average 80 children on a weekly basis. In 2009, the Circus School started to lay its foundations to become a real institution, and engaged its first administrative staff. In 2011, Circus School moved to the current premises.

Refreshing Hope Youth Initiative (RH) is a Non-Governmental & Non-Partisan Organization based in Enugu and with affiliation to Denmark . The idea and name were conceived years back while in Denmark, where I was involved in different voluntary activities. During those days, I observed with keen interest how children, teenagers and others were handled gently . I thought to myself, that it would really be nice to borrow that . We in RH, are “Change Agents” for the Development of the Nigerian Nation. We are passionate about raising hope, encouraging godliness and originality, as well as harnessing hidden talents of the children & youth in the society. We believe that in every child there is a talent, which when identified & properly harnessed can benefit both the child, family and society at large. RH works to raise bold, confident and yet respectful young people who will become responsible leaders of the future. We advocate for honesty, friendliness and fair play, as well as gender equality for both boys and girls. We are so anti-abuse/violence especially amongst the defend less children, that we openly confront violators and speak boldly against it at every given opportunity. There has been increased drug dependence, cultism, anxiety, depression including suicide amongst very young children in the society, which has directly & indirectly been associated with abuse and violence. This further increased our curiosity and the desire to fight the menace at all possible cost. We are involved in different activities geared towards promoting a culture of non violence (eg, sports, talent exhibition, training programs)at all levels. Discourage intimidation and discrimination. We are involved in school outreaches, visit to orphanages, parents & teachers education, as well as youth mentoring & coaching. All these have yielded some positive changes, though not so visible because of the limited scope of coverage

The Tanzanian Rice Partnership (TARIPA) was established in 2011, soon after the launch of SAGCOT as a first step in developing the national rice value chain. Initially TARIPA focused on developing the “Kilombero Rice Cluster” followed by the “Dakawa Cluster” in Mvomero district and the “Mbarali Cluster”. Partner meetings were conducted and TARIPA was presented at the World Economic Forum in Cape Town in May 2011 as the first cluster development under SAGCOT. The main aims of TARIPA were to: develop a partnership framework to respond to rice value chain constraints and opportunities in a coordinated way; build markets and small-scale farmer capacity to produce rice to improve national food security, expand domestic production, improve competitiveness and increase value addition; scale-up core value chain activities to catalyze significant small-scale and large-scale farmer and agribusiness development in the rice sub-sector; support commercial initiatives by building on ongoing plans and activities to scale up production, drive down costs and thereby create a competitive value chain; Attract new partners to the overall rice development plan, the aim being to developing a critical mass of partners within the rice cluster TARIPA started by working with the Tanzania Agriculture Partnership (TAP) and the FAO Southern Highlands’ Food Systems (FAO SHFS) on a study of the rice sub-sector in Kilombero. In August 2011 at a 3-day workshop TARIPA partners discussed value chain constraints in order to lay out a road map for investments needed to develop the cluster. The result was the “Kilombero Rice Commodity Investment Plan”, also called the “Kilombero Rice CIP”. The Kilombero CIP objective was ‘to increase income to the actors in the (rice) value chain so that poverty is reduced’,with five separate Investment Packages: (a) Marketing, (b) Production, (c) Processing, (d) Partnership and (e) Infrastructure and Environment.

• R1 traces its birth back to early 2000 at a critical time in Philippine agriculture. At that time, there was a strong move to liberalize the rice industry but then the promised gains in trade and market access openings for Philippine agricultural exports were also not being realized. Hence, a strong and a successful campaigning from the civil society allowed continued protection for our staple in view of the liberalization policy pitfalls and the very obvious fact that our rice farmers will not survive competition at that time. Among those who campaigned hard were a group of NGOs, about 12 of the long-established organizations were the same ones that gave birth to Rice Watch and Action Network otherwise known as R1 in April 2004. The call to organize officially as a network was made realizing that trade campaigning was very tactical and that there was a need to continue on the fight and pursue a more strategic, sustainable development for the Philippine rice sector. R1 became a constant figure in national policy engagements in the Department of Agriculture—taking on trade issues, food and rice productivity program analysis, sustainable agriculture, technology issues and in recent years, the issues of budget, program implementation tracking at the ground level and our work on disaster preparedness and climate change. Early on, we were also doing international advocacies on trade and were on occasions made part of the official Philippine delegation to the WTO Ministerial meetings abroad. We headed and convened CSO meetings and lobby missions to the Group of 33 (developing) countries in the WTO to pursue common advocacies on trade. Over the years, our advocacies also became more complexed and tended to focus more on the productivity of the farmer, pursuing sustainable and integrated area development, climate change policies,engaging local governments and specific communities in CCA planning, building community models

Describe the history, purpose and primary activities of the organisation (max 2000 characters): Rikolto (formerly VECO) has more than 55 years of experience in improving the livelihood of smallholder farmers in Indonesia through sustainable agriculture. Rikolto is an experienced market system facilitator, delivering sustainable and inclusive outcomes across rural-urban food chains. Rikolto works to guarantee that future generations retain access to affordable quality food, knowing that climate change, low prices and poverty are forcing farmers from the land. Rikolto believes that small-scale farmers, who produce 70% of food worldwide, must be appropriately included in food markets and, in doing so, improve their social and economic position, to achieve global change. In Indonesia, we work with 14 farmer organizations in 6 provinces, reaching 29,736 farmer families in the rice, coffee, cocoa sectors. We build bridges of trust and trade, between the food industry, governments, research institutions, banks and farmer organizations to change together the recipe of our food system. To meet this challenge, we focus on 3 strategic priorities: 1. Empower farmers’ groups to become solid business partners and to implement climate-friendly practices. 2. Connect farmers with innovators in the food industry to explore new ways of doing business. 3. Develop mechanisms to encourage trust & transparency throughout the food sector. We strive to find concrete solutions “in the field” and translate them in policies that bring changes at the sectoral level. To this end, we are involved in a wide range of networks & commodity platforms. Rikolto Ghana is a member of Rikolto International, a network organisation headquartered in Belgium, with an International Board of Directors. Rikolto International is overall managed by an International Management Team with balanced representation from each Regional Director, including the West Africa Director.

Rikolto in Indonesia started in Flores 1960 under the name Florescommittee, established by a Belgium missionary, Pater Rene Daem. Iin 1973, he changed it to “Vereniging Zonder Winstoogmerk” or VZW, . As the VZW Floresvrienden grew bigger and established a better relationship with international donors; it transformed into Flemish Organisation for Assistance in Development. In 2001, three Belgian development organisations: Vredeseilanden, FADO and COOPIBO merged into one organisation under the name VECO (VredesEilanden Country Office). By October 16, 2017, VECO Indonesia officially replaced its name to Rikolto that means Harvest in Esperanto. Over four decades, this organisation has been working on several focused-topics such as Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA), Sustainable Agriculture Chain Development (SACD), Inclusive Business, and Inclusive and Sustainable Food System. Rikolto believes family farms are part of the solution. They produce 70% of our food worldwide, but individually they're often cut out of the trade, ending up in poverty and leaving their potential untapped. Global change demands that food markets become more inclusive and offer value to all actors in the food chain. Small farmers must be offered a fair deal. A sustainable income for farmers and nutritious, affordable food for everyone: this is what Rikolto works for. We empower farmer groups to become solid business partners and implement future-proof, sustainable practices. We support them so that their products meet quality standards. We connect them with innovators in the industry to explore new ways of doing business. To change the recipe of our food system, Rikolto builds bridges of trust and trade, between the food industry, governments, research institutions, banks and farmer organisations around this key question: ‘What will we eat tomorrow?’. We plant and harvest new solutions, making the food system more transparent, so consumers are able to make a sustainable choice.

The inspiration to found Root Foundation in Minembwe was a result of Muragwa's three visits in Minembwe in which he had a special opportunity to engage with the vulnerable population of Minembwe - Children and women in particular. Muragwa being a Munyamulenge himself, and being able to visit his destroyed homeland by wars perpetrated by the MaiMai's, he decided to bring his 10 years experience of NGO work in Rwanda to establish initiatives that would inspire hope to the Minembwe's thousands widowed by wars, that would heal the wounds of the thousands children whose scars of wars are still fresh and consequences such as poverty and trauma are their daily lives. Root Foundation priority objectives. 1. Nutrition: 2. Peace building 3. Water, sanitation and hygiene 4. Village Savings and Loans Associations.

In 2012 Kigali city was counting over 7000 children who were living on the streets instead of being raised in families and attending school. During this time, Patrick Kiruhura who was a film making student had been working on a short documentary (on youtube as 'Nzitukuze') about a vulnerable single mother who had refused to be a street beggar or prostitute but was working hard day and night to keep her daughter in school. When Patrick shared this story to his friend Muragwa Bienvenue, it triggered his passion to create a better community for the vulnerable children and youth. From the beginning, Root Foundation was built on the idea of understanding and addressing the root causes of this challenge following the statistics showing that 40% of enrolled children could not complete primary education. With their friends, Patrick and Muragwa spent the following 12 months visiting different streets and suburbs of Kigali to meet the street children, before they initiated any programs. January 2014, Root Foundation was first approved as a Non-governmental organization by the Rwandan Governance Board (RGB) to provisionally operate in Rwanda. In June 2016, Root Foundation was officially issued as a Legal Personality with the official name ROOT FOUNDATION. As reflected in its name, Root Foundation came to existence from the belief that the issue of the street children should be responded to from its root causes. As of August 2020, Root Foundation serves 309 children, youth and their families. Root aims at serving 2300 vulnerable children and youth by July 2024 and to impact their life by building the character, talent and confidence through a personal development program, encouraging the mind and passion for learning through a scholarship program, and building the parenting and financial capacity of the parents through the parents’ empowerment program.

The initiator to this organisation, a native of Kumbungu district in Northern region, have worked with the local community radio, Simli Radio from 2005 to 2013. To create relevant content for radio programmes, he and other producers from the radio visited rural communities of Kumbungu District, Tolon district, Savelugu municipality and many other areas where he discussed issues affecting community development with the local people. Through personal interviews and observations, it stood evident that children in those areas were deprived of successful education. Due to the poverty situation of the parents, it is difficult for children to get access to quality education. At the same time, many parents do not always understand why and how education could benefit their children. Even if a child makes it to high school level, the support s/he needs is often not there. Therefore, high school dropout is a common phenomenon in the area. Simli Radio’s interviews and radio programmes, especially with the young people targeted, revealed that only one out of every twenty students were able to proceed to the tertiary level after high school. All those young people who do not succeed usually end up sitting along the roads, doing nothing - or moving to the capital, for menial jobs as head porters. REEP mounts community platforms where parents are sensitized on the importance and the need to support their daughter’s education. REEP runs school clubs in 5 senior high schools with series of activities in building engagement, confidence and enhancing active citizenship.

A strong focus on local driven community development, engagement of all actors, needed service delivery, capacity building and advocacy are the core elements of REEP. A KAVLI Trust programme has supported REEP from 2015-2019.

Initiator to this organisation, Abukari Abdul-Fatawu, a citizen and a native of Kumbungu district in Northern region, have worked with the local community radio, Simli Radio from 2005 to 2013. To create relevant content for radio programmes, he and other producers from the radio visited rural communities of Kumbungu District, Tolon district, Savelugu municipality and many other areas where he discussed issues affecting community development with the local people. Through personal interviews and observations, it stood evident that children in those areas were deprived of successful education. Due to the poverty situation of the parents, it was difficult for children to get access to quality education. At the same time, many parents did not always understand why and how education could benefit their children. Even if a child makes it to high school level, the support s/he needs is often not there. Therefore, high school dropout was a very common phenomenon in the area. Simli Radio’s interviews and radio programmes, especially with the young people targeted, revealed that only one (1) out of every twenty (20) students were able to proceed to the tertiary level after high school. All those young people who do not succeed usually end up sitting along the roads, doing nothing - or moving to Accra, the national capital, for menial jobs as head porters. Young people could have studied, if not for the economic conditions and their parents’ ignorance towards education especially for girls. But they end up being deprived and feeling left out, tempted to engage in easy gains like criminal activities. Abdul-Fatawu then discussed the issue with good friends and colleagues. With thorough deliberation, they came up with the idea of starting the organisation called REEP to reduce the school dropout rate and have an influence on the reduction of poverty level among young people in the Kumbungu District of northern Ghana, by them creating a better future through education.

It is our belief that addressing NCDs needs wide and multi-sector collaboration. Rwanda NCDA is globally connected with other NCDs Alliances. More than 1000 volunteers already affiliated with Rwanda NCD Alliance. The volunteers have a health background. They are young and well educated (normally they are recent graduates and university students). They are much eager to serve as well as bringing back what they have acquired from universities to the communities. However, few of them have received proper training in NCDs and data collection, and more have to be recruited through the already existing network of Rwanda NCD Alliance and its member organizations.

SolarSack is a Danish based impact start-up. Our mission is to bring safe and affordable drinking water to the 2.2 billion people in the world who currently lack access to clean water. The first SolarSack was developed on a research trip to the Adjumani refugee camp in Uganda, 2017. Our founder, Alexander Locke, submitted the solution as part of his Master’s thesis in Industrial Design Engineering. While spending time in the refugee camp, it was clear to him that the area struggled with deforestation as the residents were forced to cut down trees in order to boil water. This sparked an idea to develop an alternative to boiling water that would not negatively impact the environment while still providing safe and clean drinking water.

In 1867, the Leprosarium Jesus Hilfe was established by the Worldwide Moravian Church as a secluded sanctuary in Jerusalem for individuals suffering from leprosy. Following the 1948 War, Moravian Sister Johanna Larsen relocated to the Palestinian village of Abu Qash, northeast of Ramallah, and founded a leprosy hospital in 1959. The hospital operated until the 1980s when medical advancements led to the discovery of a cure for leprosy, rendering the hospital unnecessary. In 1981, the facility was transformed into Star Mountain Rehabilitation Center (SMRC), which caters to Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (PwIDs). SMRC, an undertaking of the Worldwide Moravian Church, provides rehabilitation, educational, and empowerment services to persons with disabilities (PwDs) and marginalized groups. Employing a rights-based developmental approach, it mobilizes local and international support to foster dignified livelihoods in alignment with sustainable development goals. SMRC endeavors to devise specialized programs that respect the rights of marginalized groups while ensuring environmental safety and climate justice, and advancing institutional infrastructure, programs, systems, and technological resources. SMRC’s four programs comprise an Inclusive Kindergarten, Special Education School, Vocational Training and Employment, and Community Mobilization. SMRC works with PwIDs, families, and social, national, governmental, and educational entities to raise awareness of disability rights and inclusion. It aspires to establish partnerships with local, regional, and international institutions and actively engages in networks advocating for disability rights.

The Strategic Youth Network for Development (SYND) was established in September, 2008 but was quite dormant as we spent more time as young people learning from well established CSOs and other actors. In 2013, a movement known as 350 Ghana Reducing our Carbon (G-ROC) was formed and I held the role as the National Coordinator. SYND is a member of this coalition hence all activities or interventions were organised in the name of 350 G-ROC. 350 G-ROC is the local chapter of 350.org, a climate change movement organisation based in the USA. In 2020, I won the Goldman Environmental Prize Award for Africa and got appointed to the Board of 350.org. I therefore had to step down as the National Coordinator of 350 G-ROC to focus fully on SYND as part of dealing with any possibility of "conflict of interest". We received a small grant support of $19,000 from Growald Family Fund (now Growald Climate Fund - GCF) in 2019 to support our advocacy work on climate action. We also established the Youth in Natural Resources and Environmental Governance (Youth-NREG) Platform in May 2019 through the support of the World Bank and UNDP-Ghana. We believe that it is critical to engage young people actively in climate-related decisions as it will not only help them cope or adapt to climate impacts but also will guarantee the sustainability of interventions by duty bearers or policymakers in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our key strategies to achieve our vision and goal are: - Conducting research on climate change-related issues from the youth perspective; developing communication and advocacy materials such as policy briefs, position papers, fact sheets, and case studies; - Training young people as key actors contributing to the planning and implementation of climate and other environmental interventions at all levels of the decision making, and mobilizing young people for non-violent demonstrations or walk-in demands for climate actions.

The Swaziland Massacre Victims and Survivors (SWAVISA) Association was established in 2021 as a humanitarian, non-partisan and non-governmental organization whose mandate is to ensure accountability for all victims, survivors and families of the killed victims in Eswatini. The organization was formed in response to the 29th June 2021 Political uprising culminating in the widespread call for democracy. SWAVISA was formed in response to the June 2021 Political uprising culminating in the widespread call for democracy. Security forces used live ammunition and bullets that had been modified to cause maximum damage to the body (referred to as dum-dum bullets). SWAVISA members are those that survived that heavy-handed response of the state brutality, torture and degrading treatment-some have lost limbs, some continue to live with the bullets trapped in their bodies-too dangerous to remove surgically and some families of victims killed during the uprising. All of the victims were un armed during the protest and some were not even part of the demonstrations and got caught up in the crossfire. All of SWAVISA members lost livelihood due to their injuries and this has exacerbated the dire situation of rising poverty. Due to our changed circumstances we realize that we have no other option but to organize ourselves and demand accountability from the state which has inflicted this upon us. During the hospitalization of the victims between June/July 2021 a process seeking consent from the victims began. initiated by Bongane Madzabudzabu Kunene, one of the disfigured victims who had his leg imputed, conducted a one-on-one informal counseling sessions among the victims on their hospital beds. These informal sessions revealed that the victims were visibly traumatized at what happened to them, and most could not afford the necessary equipment such as wheelchairs and crutches to aid them in their distressed conditions after being discharged.

The Tanzania Human Rights Defenders Coalition (THRDC) was incepted in 2010 at the time when incidents of human rights violations were relatively high in Tanzania. During this time, there were already human rights organizations (HRO), most of which are current members of THRDC. There were also HROs’ networks operated at national, regional and district levels. Despite their efforts and notable results towards human rights protection and promotion, still none of these organizations had a direct intervention on human rights deferenders (HRDs). As a result, there were several incidents in which the HRDs were physically attacked or being intimidated as it is indicated further in subsequent parts of this Strategic Plan (SP) document. As the threats to HRDs were coming more open and real, a need for HRO which will specifically address the rights of HRDs emerged. Around fourteen (14) HROs decided to form a loose network in 2010. The aim of the network was to have a common voice on HRDs’ issues and matters. Two years later (2012) the network transformed itself into THRDC as a registered organization under the laws of Tanzania. The regislation gives this Coalition a mandate and justification to operate as a legal entity. The registration of THRDC marked a beginning of HRDs’ rights’ struggles and protection in Tanzania. Unlike other HROs including networks, the THRDC is unique in the sense that, its core function is more focused and very specific on HRDs’ protection and promotion of their rights.

Data derived from this project has been used to better understand and determine appropriate safe passage corridors that reduce human-elephant interactions, thereby reducing conflict incidences. This project also examined how elephants respond to electric fencing as a mitigation method, with results indicating how and where to implement this mitigation. Together, this work has enabled TRCO to build knowledge and capacity amongst staff, colleagues, and govenrment agencies, and meaningfully involve local communities in local, national, and international biodiversity research and conservation activities that can positively effect their livelihoods.

Describe the history, purpose, and primary activities of the organization: Youth Against Irregular Migration (YAIM) was set up by Gambians while in detention in Libya after taking the Backway. En-route they experienced first-hand many human rights abuses and economic exploitation, inspiring them to establish an organization that aims to dissuade people from embarking on such life-threatening journeys. Awareness-raising campaigns generally have limited success as they are perceived of as inaccurate, biased Western propaganda or poorly informed. YAIM’s awareness raising counteracts these assumptions, however, since the imparters of the information are people that have made the journey and face the same issues that the average person in The Gambia faces. People only trust information if they share a relationship or trust the transmitters and YAIM members not being part of the elite reinforces that trust. Also, YAIM can contribute to creating a more sustainable return process by providing guidance and information. YAIM members have travelled to Libya with the hope of crossing to Europe through the Mediterranean in search of jobs, but now they are back because that dream has not been achieved. While urging the government to provide job opportunities for Gambian youth to prevent them from endangering their lives looking for greener pastures abroad. Youth Against Irregular migration (YAIM) has partnered with the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners working to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.

Here we carry out long-term ecological research; contribute to peatland restoration efforts and support local initiatives to manage and protect peat-swamp forest habitat.

The organisation, YPWB, was established in Sifoe village in response to demands from the community, especially from the youth, for an organised effort to develop the village and the country and improve the living conditions. From the outset the environment was in focus. The Gambia was once a green belt along the River Gambia but is now nearly deforested – and The Gambia was clean, but is now polluted by garbage dumped along the roadside and everywhere. YPWB has therefore engaged in treeplanting. Likewise, YPWB has engaged in collecting plastic garbage – YPWB has constructed an office building using plastic bottles stuffed full with pieces of plastic. A project now in development is a plastic recycling plant, where new plastic goods are produced from recycled plastic waste. Another focus has been on vocational training. YPWB established in 2015 a skill center, where young people gets trained in practical skills – tailoring, hairdressing, etc. – with which to earn a living. The buildings housing the skill center have been, partially, constructed by the YPWB members as volunteer workforce. YPWB was involved in installing a water network in Sifoe village in cooperation with the Danish organisation Seniors without Borders using a grant from Grundfos, the pump factory.

YITT was founded in 2016 as a social movement aimed at transforming the social, economic, and civil spaces for youth. The initiative to start YITT was based on the recognition that a gap exists in the approach taken to youth led development by many INGOs. Or said more bluntly: there was a feeling by the founders that many INGOs tried to transform youth led grass roots into mini INGOs and approach capacity building through standardised and homogenous approaches. YITT saw a need to start an organisation that worked more directly together with youth groups, based on an informal approach where engagements took place within the spaces where young people felt most secure and comfortable, and where the support given was based on the groups’ individuals visions and needs. Though YITT, until now, has only been operating on an informal basis, it is clear that they are one of the most important go-to organisations for youth living in urban slums across Harare and Bulawayo. Since 2016, the team behind YITT has been giving free and voluntary support to a large network of youth groups from across Harare and Bulawayo. Through this work, YITT has supported youth groups to engage in income generating activities, implement projects, undertake proper financial management, undertake registration processes with government authorities and other on-demand support that youth led civil society organisations need. YITT currently works directly with more than 22 youth led civil society groups.

Zimbabwe is facing increasing pressure to provide sufficient, affordable and nutritious food for a growing population, to cope with effects of climate change (droughts, very heavy storms at times, the degradation of natural resources, including water scarcity, soil depletion and biodiversity loss). Based on these visible indicators likeminded family farmers have developed strategies to build some form of resilience through developing local safety nets. ZIMSOFF is a grassroot movement working to come to a better understanding of indigenous knowledge and its relevance to sustainable climate mitigation and adaptation. They envision biocultural diversity management and integrated ecological farming methods as solutions to nurturing Mother Earth whilst producing diverse nutritious foods. ZIMSOFF aims to influence policy to upscale food sovereignty and family farming, while connecting, documenting and spreading the good practices of Agroecology. It will further deepen its struggles by strengthening actions on family farms and farmers’ structures, and by connecting to stakeholders and allies. All this will be toward national movement building. ZIMSOFF believes that agroecology will address these food and climate crises and is convinced that an urgent and radical shift in our food systems policy direction is needed. It is possible to feed the growing population in an all-inclusive holistically developed and sustainably implemented policy framework. To be effective in that struggle for food sovereignty, transformative actions must be employed to address a complex set of interconnected objectives encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions. Within ZIMSOFF, at the grassroots are family farmers who connect to each other around a common vision vision to form micro communities of practice. The organization applies a bottom-up planning methodology in order to get input directly from family farmers to define new strategic objectives and ways to achieve them.
