Liberia Empowerment Programme on Women Rights (Haki Mkononi)
General
The project will focus on community -level empowerment. It is evident that the greatest impact of bad policies, poor implementation of good policies, and the lack of good leadership is felt at the community level. This is continuing because the majority of the people who are within the lower and lowest echelons of the decision making pyramid are not consulted in policy development, nor are they fully educated on their role in effecting policy and reaping the resulting benefits. Based on this, the action will take a bottom -up approach, which will include the empowerment of community -based women's rights organisations and moving up to engaging national state actors for policy influencing. These approaches will focus on articulating: • Article 6 and 7: Equality in marriage and divorce, 18 years as the minimum age of marriage, preference for monogamy, and protection of wives' rights in polygamous relationships; • Article 14: Right to control fertility; protection from HIV/AIDS; and obligation to provide adequate, affordable, and available health services and medical abortion under certain conditions; and • Article 15, 18 & 21: Women's land rights and the right to equitable inheritance to matrimonial and parental property areas which will lead to informed policy influencing and enhance women rights. Once the capacity of people at the community level is built and strengthened, self -actualization ensues and the confidence to constructively engage government and demand them to account and ensure protection is advanced. • Article 5: Elimination of harmful cultural practices, prohibition of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) backed by sanctions, obligation to provide public awareness programs.

F.a: Strengthening forest communities’ natural resource rights in Kenya
General
Several things happened in Kenya in the last few months in relation to the national policy. What does all this mean for the Ogiek, Sengwer and other forest communities in Kenya? Are they organizing effectively to maximize these opportunities to their adva ntage? Are they speaking with one voice? The project will involve 5 community sensitization workshops and a forest dwellers hunter-gatherer representatives meeting to develop a common advocacy strategy on the above issues with the objective of strengthenin g their land rights and natural resource rights. These communities came together in January 2014 to form the Forest Indigenous Peoples Network (FIPN is currently hosted by CIPDP while it is in the process of registering as an NGO). The meeting recognized t hat its first task was to consult with forest communities through sensitization and consultation workshops which would involve both informing communities of the opportunities and challenges at the national and international levels, and understanding their opportunities and challenges in each of their contexts. The most important objective of the project is to ensure greater security for hunter-gatherer community forest land rights through influencing national law and policy frameworks. The project will al so support forest dwelling hunter-gatherers to arrive at a common strategy, as well as sensitizing communities on various laws and policies that will impact them. www.chepkitale.org
Southern Highlands and Ruaha-Katavi Protection Program (SHARPP)
General
(Tanzania): With the decimation of elephants in Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve, the Ruaha-Katavi landscape now harbors the largest population of elephants in eastern Africa. It is also one of the last strongholds for Africa's remaining lions. Ruaha and Katavi are two national parks separated by a large amount of healthy, but unprotected forest which is currently under threat. If this linkage between the parks is broken, the future for elephants, lions, and the livelihoods for remote rural Tanzanian communities is at risk. SHARP will use FY 2020 biodiversity funds to directly address these threats and help to protect the community lands that currently link the parks. The activity will continue working with local government authorities, community groups, and protected area managers to secure wildlife corridors on village land by providing technical assistance on sound village land-use planning sessions, and assisting local communities to form village game scout groups to patrol and prevent encroachment and poaching. It will also use FY 2020 funds to reduce human-wildlife conflict by providing training on alternative livelihoods approaches that improve economic well-being for the communities and help reduce pressure on both the ecosystem and wildlife. The activity will continue to monitor the status of key wildlife species to inform wildlife recovery and use of the secured corridors. These interventions help further Tanzania's journey to self-reliance by developing the country's own ability to monitor, preserve, and benefit from its natural resources...... .
