Displaying 201 - 205 of 2117CO-Fostering women#s leadership project
General
ITo contribute to improved women#s rights and gender equality in Uganda, Oxfam has been working on women#s rights in Uganda for over 40 years. Together with our partners, we have significantly contributed to the development of gender responsive legislation, i.e. the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVA), the Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act (FGM) and the Anti-Trafficking of Persons Act. This has been achieved through different avenues such as our convening and research roles, where we have helped to build a movement of civil society organisations and actors on women#s rights through partnership with UWONET. Our research on inequality, un-paid care work and women#s land rights continue to shape the policy agenda on women#s rights in Uganda. In the proposed project we aim to further these initial gains to achieve 2 main outcomes: 1) The Maputo Protocol and other regional declarations on women#s rights are increasingly applied by national government and traditional justice mechanisms 2) Women#s political leadership in northern Uganda is fostered to address women#s land rights and violence against women and girls Working with a local partner UWONET, these outcomes will be achieved by, on the one hand, supporting women leaders to influence policy makers on women#s rights issues using theskills and knowledge generated, and on the other, by continued dialogue with religious and cultural leaders, the justice system, local community members and other key actors on women#s land rights and violence against women and girls. Oxfam will provide the technical guidance and support to the partner UWONET in enhancing women#s leadership through application of the Maputo protocol. Our Women#s rights Advisor will continue to position this project in the strategic plan of both the partner and Oxfam. We will provide strategic linkages between the project and the available platforms on women#s rights in Uganda to shape the agenda on women#s leadershipin Uganda Through our Programme Quality and Learning Department, Oxfam will support oversight functions like developing M<(>&<)>E tools for the project, monitoring, reviews and learning functions. The partner M<(>&<)>E Coordinator will be in charge of ensuring compliance in regard to the use of the tools, data management and reporting. Oxfam will build capacity of UWONET, districts and community structures in understanding and tracking indicators, using tools and reporting. This will be done routinely through onsite support and quarterly technical support visits in project areas. Platforms such as meetings and trainings will be created to promote the M<(>&<)>E function of the project.
Navigating the grid in the "world-class city": poverty, gender, and access to services in India, Pakistan and
General
For the past two decades, across South Asia, planners, policy-makers - and property-speculators - have been energetically engaged in efforts to remake cities as 'world class.' Yet these years have seen the deepening of the urban pathologies that such efforts hoped to redress; as a 2016 World Bank report observes, over 130 million people in the region now live in informal urban settlements "characterized by poor construction, insecure tenure and underserviced plots." The poor are not simply left behind in the rush to make the world-class city; rather, our earlier research shows that the forced displacements, that attend world-class citymaking initiatives, often exacerbate problems in accessing urban resources and infrastructural services, particularly for the marginalised. We have also found that, in managing and mitigating the interruptions and upheavals caused by urban removals and dislocations, innovative forms of urban practice, political engagement and creative collaboration have emerged. These, often in partnership with CBOs and NGOs, can lead to pro-poor urban outcomes. Drawing on the strong collaborative foundations in earlier work on urban housing and infrastructures in Mumbai, Lahore and Colombo, we will focus on the efforts of the urban poor to access vital services (water, transport, communications), while attending to the ways in which these efforts intersect with the dynamics that shape patterns of access to urban land and housing. Our project will ask: under what conditions do the formal and informal communicative channels, personal connections, and 'phatic labour' (Elyachar 2005), by which everyday access to urban grids is enacted, encourage pro-poor outcomes? We will work closely with local academic partners in this first phase of the project, but we will also mobilize non-academic partners, including arts-based activists and community groups, planners and politicians, in a series of community engagement events in each city. The goal of each event will be to create workable ideas for improving access to services. To this we add strong South-South collaboration: we will hold regional workshops each year in Colombo, which has the advantage of being equally accessible to Pakistani and Indian colleagues, bringing together project partners and stakeholders from all three sites to share their best ideas.

Multinational - Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in the Horn of Africa - Phase I
General
The Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Program - Project II is the second intervention in a long term Bank Programme to build communities’ resilience to drought and Climate Change, improve their livelihood and promote regional integration in the Horn of Africa. The Project will be implemented in a period of 5 years and its total cost is UA 81.667 million, of which UA 74.982 million is paid by the Bank and the remaining being the respective governments’ counterpart contributions.
Objectives
Project II aims to scale up the Program interventions in Ethiopia and extend it to Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan. The Project is expected to develop infrastructures for i) water mobilisation and management, and ii) livestock production, health and marketing. It will also build the capacity of the populations and Governments of the region to better cope with the effects of climate change, resources scarcity and conflicts related to resources utilisation. Ultimately, the project is expected to increase the income of agro-pastoralists through the improvement of the delivery of livestock related services (animal production and health, rangeland management, marketing, etc.) and the development of irrigation schemes leading to the improvement of livestock parameters (growth rate, carcass weight, milk production and offtake rate) and, the productivity/production of the main crops. The diversification of the sources of livelihood and the mobilization/conservation of water resources as envisioned by the project will reduce the vulnerability of the population to climate change shocks and exposure to inter/intracommunity conflicts that arise from competition over access to water sources for livestock.
Target Groups
An estimated 20 million agro-pastoralists affected by drought and land degradation will directly benefit from the project. Other direct beneficiaries include the Governments of the region whose capacities will be strengthened to enhance drought resilience development, natural resources management and shared benefits, and regional integration.
RINOVA - enVIRONMenTAL REHABILITATION, NEW EMPLOYMenT AND VALORISATION OF THE TERRITORY IN TATAOUINE
