General
We supported the creation and the development of communication and media material (i.e. stories, video, photos#) for a global campaign spike on indigenous and community land rights, to raise #global awareness# on the subject. This action contributed to the Land Rights Now campaign, which is a worldwide initiative of more than 600 organizations and communities that aim at doubling the area ofland formally recognized as owned or controlled by Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Oxfam plays a major role in shaping and driving the campaign. The Land Rights Now campaign is a bottom-up campaign and is primary objective is to support ongoing nationalcampaigns in the area of Indigenous and community land rights. The secondary objective is to promote global awareness on this issue, so as to enable changes at national level. In 2016, Oxfam will focus on 4-6 countries to highlight either i) specific cases of land grabbing or injustice around indigenous and community land rights or ii) symbolic cases #including positive stories # that can describe a larger systemic situation, that needs to be addressed. In this context we issued an internal call for expression of interest to submit cases that may support #global# awareness raising. A case submitted byOxfam in Peru has been identified as a suitable case, according to pre-established criteria. This grant supports the development of material for public campaigning in Peru on this case.

The project is intended to build the capacity of women leaders to engage, influence and lobby for gender responsive programmes and interventions in their respective location. The project is also intended to connect spaces between local leaders and national leaders and build capacity of women leaders to influence at local level (Subcounty and district) and also gain capacity to feed into national debates through the forum (Uganda women#s Parliamentary forum) that exists at national level. The ordinary women and girls willbe engaged by women leaders through dialogues on VAW and Land to build a critical mass and generate credible messages for advocacy and engagement with traditional leaders and legal duty bearers at all levels. The women leaders from grassroots women organisationswill be given capacity to work in hand with political leaders and gain spaces to participate in Local government planning meetingsas provided for the by Local government planning guidelines of 1997 Although the guidelines provides for representation of civil society organisations in all planning and budgeting processes, the reality on ground is that the space can be gained through having contact with key political leaders part of that process. The women leaders #political and CSOs will identity groups of ordinary rural women that have suffered VAW and Land related Violence in their respective location and mentor them to engage at the different Subcounty, district, regional and national meetings and voice their concerns to the duty bearers. The project will seek to hold the leaders (traditional and government) to account and make decisions to take action on issues raised by women. The decisions will include following up with district council to prioritise project proposalscomponents into the Local government plans. The work at national level will be informed by grassroots experiences and key stakeholders will be involved ensure that VAW Currently the ministry of Gender doesn#t have government funds for VAW prevention, andits assumed that funds for VAWQ response are supposed to go to Ministry of health, Justice law and order, these ministries are also underfunded. and Women#s land rights are given space in national level debates by UWOPA and the relevant ministries this in turn will allow for proper budget allocations to the respective programmes. Recently,the land policy was approved by the government and the Law on Domestic violence was passed in 2010.
