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. The organization has made significant progress every year in the incorporation of new members to its membership, increase in cultivation area, increase in marketing volume, increase in employment opportunities and improvement of living conditions of its affiliated families. We currently have partners in 7 of the 8 municipalities of the department of Atlántida. One of the main objectives of ASOPROPIB is to be self-sustainable and to maintain itself over time and generate greater and better benefits to its partner families and to the communities where it has its scope of action, promoting the conservation of Natural Resources, the equity of gender, and the generational relay as transversal axes. The main activities of ASOPROPIB are: Purchase, processing and sale of cocoa beans. Production and Marketing of grafted cocoa plants. Work is being done to produce and sell organic fertilizers. Technical Assistance service provided to producers Training in different subjects, particularly gender.

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.

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.

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.

Centro de Comunicación Cultural Chasqui blev grundlagt den 14. december 1988 og fejrer 35 år i 2024. Navnet "Chasqui" henviser til den unge løber, der i Inka-imperiet leverede beskeder. Chasquis var ansvarlige for at videregive viden og traditioner mellem generationerne for at beskytte andinske kulturer mod globaliseringen.

I 1991 erhvervede Chasqui to grunde i Estrellas de Belén-området, og blev etableret som en institution, der er vokset med egne hænder og arbejdsindsats. I 2003 fik Chasqui sit første projektstøtte fra Terre des Hommes, Holland og Tyskland, og har siden modtaget støtte fra organisationer som Svalorna, Save the Children Canada, Eirene Tyskland og Solidaridad Infantil Internacional (Danmark). Projekterne har fokuseret på børns rettigheder og familier. Vision: Chasqui ser børns, unges og familiers aktive deltagelse i deres livsprojekter som central. Det understøtter social inklusion, kulturel identitet og forsvar af rettigheder for sund fysisk, følelsesmæssig og miljømæssig udvikling. Chasqui sigter mod at styrke sin organisatoriske struktur, ledelse og bæredygtighed, samt støtte en socialt retfærdig og demokratisk udvikling i La Paz. Mission: Chasqui fremmer deltagelse og lederskab i lokale organisationer i både by og land. Det arbejder for at genoprette kulturelle værdier og sikre retter til uddannelse, sundhed, miljøbeskyttelse, kønsligestilling og fredskultur for børn og deres familier.

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.

CPH:DOX is part of the non-profit foundation Fonden De Københavnske Filmfestivaler (Copenhagen Film Festivals), established in 2008 as a hub for the major film festivals in the Danish capital: CPH:DOX Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival and the childrens' film festival BUSTER.

CPH:DOX also runs a wide array of projects besides the audience festival, stimulating audience development and media literacy as well as the documentary film industry. CPH:DOX is founded on the belief that a film festival should not only be for the film buffs. It shall be a cultural manifestation that focus attention on the big questions and issues of our time that need our attention – from the individual and existential to the structurally global. We believe that film as a collective art form can create new communities and inspire democratic dialogue, and we work with an understanding of documentary film as a tool for change that can create substantial awareness and, in some instances, bring forward suggestions for solutions. As such, we are working with an ambition to contribute to social, political, or cultural transformation, to establish a space for reflection, dialogue, and opinion across populations, communicating complicated topics and questions in an intimate, reflective and profound manner. No matter whether topics are political, philosophical, experimental or focused on narrow sections of the world, documentary films should expand and, in some cases, challenge the viewer’s conception of the world.

Det Danske Hus i Palæstina er en dansk civilsamfundsorganisation. Initiativet til huset blev taget i forlængelse af den diplomatisk krise mellem Danmark og flere arabiske lande i 2006, da Jyllands-Posten bragte 12 tegninger af profeten Mohammed. Huset ligger i Ramallah på Vestbredden og har som overordnet formål at skabe mellemfolkelig forståelse og kulturelt samarbejde mellem Palæstina og Danmark. Vi arbejder med styrkelse af palæstinensiske civilsamfundsorganisationer, der bidrager til ytringsfriheden og kulturlivet i Palæstina. Dette gør vi ved at støtte vores palæstinensiske partnere i forbindelse med børn og unges psykosociale modstandsdygtighed under besættelse, det palæstinensiske civilsamfunds råderum samt igennem vores udvekslingsprogram for frivillige og oplysningsarbejde i Danmark om situationen i Palæstina. DHIP er igennem Støtteforeningen for Det Danske Hus i Palæstina en medlemsorganisation med en årlig generalforsamling samt en bestyrelse, sammensat af danske og palæstinensiske bestyrelsesmedlemmer. Huset er placeret i Ramallah på Den Besatte Vestbred med både danske og palæstinensiske medarbejdere. Hvert år implementerer vi i samarbejde med lokale partnerorganisationer en række forskellige kunst- og kulturprojekter. Vi har seks strategiske partnerorganisationer, som vi arbejder med i forhold til civilsamfundets råderum og børn og unges psykosociale modstandsdygtighed. Disse udviklingsprojekterne bygger på den grundlæggende præmis, at kunst og kultur bidrager til børn og unges demokratiske evner og dermed til deres aktive medborgerskab. Vi arbejder med en menneskerettighedsbaseret tilgang, langsigtede partnerskaber og bæredygtighedsprincipper.

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).

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).

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.

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 decided to create a Fund in Ukraine, which would become a kind of bridge between the two countries because of the huge demand for sharing foreign experience. Since the Foundation's inception, its activities have spread to several hundred hospitals and government agencies in Ukraine. Humanitarian actions represent 50% of the total budget. AICM imported 554 tons of medical equipment and drugs for the most urgent needs of hospitals. Since 2014, AICM Ukraine has refocused its activity on helping the populations in the region from Donetsk and Lugansk. Access to healthcare is a fundamental right whatever the origin and duration of the conflict. AICM Ukraine devotes all its energy to this while remaining completely neutral and independent. In this war zone, AICM has developed medical projects for the identification and protection of victims of domestic violence and patients suffering from specific pathologies such as cancer, diabetes, HIV, Tuberculosis. Since February 2022, AICM has been present in all areas facing the Russian invasion. Its network of 130 corresponding doctors allows it to know the most urgent needs of hospitals and populations. AICM intervenes with the local authorities to detect and help populations and hospitals in difficulty. Thanks to its many foreign partners, AICM has created a humanitarian platform in Ukraine for assistance in food, hygiene, technology, medicines and medical equipment. With 3 distribution teams for refugee and social centers, up to large towns, i.e. regular deliveries of 100 kg to 80 tons, AICM helps 5,000 individuals and 40 to 75,000 towns affected by the conflict each week.

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.

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’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.

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 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.

The purpose of the institution is to run a boarding school and a post-secondary school within the framework of the current rules on free boarding schools, where young people can improve their skills in general education subjects, and at the post-secondary school fulfill the primary school's regulations on compulsory education, while at the same time informing them about the Christian outlook on life as The Evangelical Pentecostal Network advocates for.

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.
