PROMOTING PASSIVE SOLAR HOUSES
Passive Solar Housing
Ladakh region is highly elevated, cold and arid. But it has lot of sunshine in the day even if the temperature falls drastically during night in winter. This project include 100 passive solar building towards providing decentralized energy solution for the rural poor and reducing their dependence on fossil and biomass fuels and reducing the carbon footprint while meeting their development needs.
Ladakh forms the North-easterly region of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, it comprises around 70% of the state and it is huge mountainous region in the trans-Himalayan region of the country. The region is highly elevated, cold and arid. But Ladakh has lot of sunshine in the day even if the temperature falls drastically during night in winter.
Impact studies conducted during the previous projects show that due to energy efficient houses, fuel consumption by families has been reduced by 60%, temperatures of PSH rooms are always above 10°C(+) and the inner air is smokeless. Cold and smoke related illness has substantially reduced, and households even doubled production of handicraft items during the winters. It was observed that 3.5 tons of CO2 could be saved annually by each household, due to the less burning of fuel.
The project would be covered 100 families in Ladakh region. The beneficiaries would be identified by LEDeG but a cluster approach would be preferred.
Identification of beneficiary/ baseline survey;
This activity is proposed to begin in Oct 2012 and to end in December 2013. The beneficiaries shall be identified on the basis of need, individual capacity of the family, location and orientation, scope for retrofitting, annual collection of fuel wood and fuel items (gender involvement in the activity), availability of masons/ carpenters, handicraft out put, use of the kind of stoves etc. The allotment shall be finalized and the beneficiaries shall be asked to go ahead with the collection of material and construction simultaneously. The survey time be used as awareness generation and information transfer regarding PSH.
ii, Construction/ Supply of material:
Although the activity is planned to begin in the beginning of 2013 and continue till the end of the project in Oct/December 2015, the selected beneficiaries may begin mobilizing their resources immediately after their identification and LEDeG may begin the fabrication of frames for the Trombe instantly in order to complete the programme on time. LEDeG has however, targeted to begin the exercise in January 2013 and complete by Oct 2015 so that there is sufficient time left for giving finishing touches to the implementation programme. The beneficiaries shall be advised to mobilize their resources and complete the material collection within a particular time frame, as specified through a letter from LEDeG.
Iii, Survey/ Monitoring/ follow up/ Evaluation
This will be a normal activity of LEDeG to see the progress of the work on different PSHs through the field workers and the management. Internal evaluation shall be necessary to monitor the activities to make them happen as per time line and also in accordance with the MOU, design etc in order to achieve the target results. The activity will begin in December2012 and shall continue till ending Oct 2015.
Iv, Reporting
.Reporting shall be done on quarterly basis beginning from December 2012 and the final report shall be submitted to ICCO at the end of December 2015.
V, Develop indicators for third party evaluation and engagement of the evaluator:
This shall be done by ICCO by Jan 2015. The final evaluation by third party shall be conducted and completed by end of Oct 2015.
Accordingly the funds from ICCO should be released in Oct 2012, April 2013 and 2014 @ 20%, 50% and 30 % respectively for timely and smooth completion of the project.
After final evaluation and assessment of the anticipated out comes, the ICCO and LEDeG shall decide modalities on a carbon credit model in order to benefit from the project. The two parties have already agreed to enter into a carbon credit system.
The activity plan and the completion period shall be adjusted if the ICCO needs time for sanctioning the project.
Ladakh ( Leh and Kargil district) is a very huge geographical area, consisting of approximately 73000 sq Kms ( Leh district alone has 45110 sq km area) but the population is very thin with average three persons per sq Km. Each house hold have 6-8 family members with parents and grand parents also living together in most of the families. LEDeG has decided to provide 50 PSHs each to Leh and Kargil districts of Ladakh ( Total 100 PSHs). The actual allotment shall be decided after preliminary survey and investigation through an expert committee.
Improvement of the living conditions and well-being of people in the high-altitude desert of Ladakh during the harsh winters and also improvement of the environmental health and economic well being of Ladakh through energy-efficient and safe housing.

Village-Based Crops in North Sumatra
Pertanian Organik. warung hijau
pertanian organik akan dikembangkan di pedesa-pedesaan yang ada di daerah sumatera utara khususnya Pakpak bharat, Dairi, Humbang Hasundutan dan Tapteng. Awal memulainya melalui program kebun keluarga yang dikerjakan oleh ibu rumah tangga di pedesaan. Dengan program kebun keluarga, ibu-ibu dilatih untuk membuat pupuk organik buat keperluan kebun keluarga tersebut atau yang berskala besar
Latar belakang dimulainya program tersebut karna jaman sekarang makanan sudah banyak terkena sentuhan bahan kimia. Sehingga penyakit seperti kanker, impoten, penyakit kulit dll banyak menyerang masyarakat. Disamping itu, penggunaan pupuk organik juga tidak memakan banyak biaya karena diproduksi dari kotoran ternak mereka seperti : ayam, kambing, kerbau maupun babi.
proyek ini nantinya akan direncanakan untuk dampingan-dampingan PESADA khususnya petani-petani. Pesada akan mendata petani-petani yang terlibat serta kegiatan mereka dan nantinya data telah bisa dicek langsung dari kantor oleh atasan sehingga gampang menganalisa masalah yang terjadi dilapangan karena telah ada record data base di internet. Petugas lapanganpun tidak sulit mengumpulkan data atau membuka arsip para petani karena semua telah terekam melalui handphone yang tersinkronisasi ke sebuah server database online
- Titik awal dari program pembuatan kompos dan tanaman organik ini ialah dengan mengumpulkan para ibu-ibu dipedesaan melaleui bantuan kepala desa
- awalnya susah mengumpulkan para ibu-ibu karena mereka sibuk dengan pekerjaan mereka mengurus ladang ataupun berjualan
jika proyek ini nantinya sukses terlaksana dan membantu pekerjaan dilapangan khususnya membantu petani, proyek ini dapat dikembangkan untuk keperluan yang lain yang membutuhkan statistik pekerjaan dalam rentang waktu tertentu
untuk mengembangkan pengetahuan dan wawasan perempuan pedesaan agar bisa bertani dengan cara modern yang melibatkan teknologi
Target nantinya akan di tujukan buat keperluan pembuatan pupuk organik dan akan dikembangkan juga buat program yang lain yang berkaitan dengan kekerasan terhadap perempuan

Food Security and Improving Coffee Production
Improvement of Nature - Friendly Agriculture
Petrasa implementing the activities that aimed to support farmers in improving quality of agriculture, especially coffee commodity. By having a good quality of coffee, it is hoped that farmer will get a good price and better income. Other activities are building the awareness about food security and utilizing the home yard. This project is implemented in District of Dairi, North Sumatra, Indonesia
Coffee is the commonly cultivated commodity in Dairi. Almost in every village, we can find coffee plants, especially the type of Arabica which is known as “Kopi Ateng”. The transition of robusta to arabica has begun since year 2000 and spread among farmers in Dairi. The transition occurs because Robusta is no longer has the good price and also considered not easy to cultivated.
At the beginning, the price of “Ateng coffee” is quite expensive, but then time by time, the price of ateng coffee become more uncertain. In addition, the low price also related to the consistency of quality which is can not be sustained by the farmers due to the bad processing after harvest.
In another hand, the conventional system of cultivating coffee also effect to the water resources. Conventional technique is so depend on the chemical fertilizer and pesticides, monoculture system and no covering trees. This can causing water contamination and soil erosion.
The target groups will be involved actively in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project. Planning starting with need assessment of the target group and the program staff will count the result as basic input. Implementation and monitoring will be done by the target group together with the program staff. In carrying out all of its programs, Petrasa Foundation divide the works into 5 working divisions : Farmer’s Training and Education, Building awareness and food diversity campaign, Organizing and Monitoring of Groups Activities, Marketing and Fair Trade, Organic Coffee Processing Complement.
Petrasa approach the farmers through 120 Credit Union groups which is spread across 12 sub-districts in Dairi district. The majority of coffee farmers located in four big sub-districts at altitudes above 1000 asl. Petrasa has implemented various capacity building activities for coffee farmers, starting from nursery to post-harvest processing. In addition, trainings for the development of family garden with organic systems are also continously conducted to support food security . This activities including discussion, presentation and practising of making bokashi and natural pesticide.
In conducting the program, Petrasa also cooperate with Bread For The World (BfDW) and in the local level, we build the networking with churches, other NGO agencies and institutions of government. Strong organisation of farmers will be a power to sustainability of project. PETRASA will develop close coordination and cooperation with local government to ensure the project is accepted and supported by the community and government.
The increasing of farmer's income through improvement the quality of agriculture's products (coffee). This program is focused on strengthening sovereignty of farmers and poor community around the Highland of Northern Sumatra. An addition, to support farmers to develop organic agriculture.

Rice Production and Market Chain in Java
Membangun Model Kewirausahaan Sosial Bagi Petani Kecil Produsen Beras Sehat
Rice Market and Production Chain in Java bertujuan untuk membangun model kewirausahaan sosial untuk para petani kecil produsen beras sehat dan bagi LSM yang memasarkannya di perkotaan. Berangkat dari kajian peta rantai beras sehat varietas lokal KRKP, produsen skala kecil membutuhkan adanya jaminan harga dan insentif dan permintaan konsumen perkotaan akan beras sehat dengan harga terjangkau
Koalisi Rakyat untuk Kedaulatan Pangan (KRKP) dibentuk pada bulan Februari 2003 di Bogor, Jawa Barat. KRKP dibentuk atas inisiatif beberapa organisasi petani, Ornop, dan Jaringan Ornop yang memiliki perhatian terhadap masalah pangan. Misi KRKP adalah membangun gerakan rakyat untuk mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan yang berkelanjutan, berkeadilan gender, mandiri dan sesuai dengan kondisi ekologi, sosial, ekonomi dan budaya setempat. Aktivitas yang dilakukan KRKP berupa advokasi dan kajian sosial dan ekonomi pertanian, salah satunya beras. hasil kajian KRKP mengenai peta rantai pasar beras sehat vaietas lokal menunjukan bahwa:
Berdasarkan mandat, KRKP sebagai organisasi akan berupaya membantu kemandirian petani produsen pangan melalui usaha perdagangan beras yang adil. KRKP akan melaksanakan mandat tersebut dengan cara:
1. membentuk unit usaha perdagangan beras lokal sehat dengan nama Martani dan
2. memfasilitasi pembentukan unit usaha kelompok tani di wilayah kerja KRKP dalam bentuk Badan Usaha Milik Petani (BUMP).
Keduanya akan berbadan hukum Perseroan Terbatas dengan anggota pemegang saham para pelaku dalam rantai produksi-pasar beras lokal sehat. Spirit utama yang melandasi pengelolaan usaha PT Martani dan PT BUMP adalah “one man one vote”.
Saat ini programnya aktif berjalan dan berkembang. Beras varietas lokal yang berasal dari petani kecil diserap dan dijual di perkotaan. Beras-beras tersebut banyak diminati oleh masyarakat, selain rasa dan aromanya yang enak, juga khasiatnya yang baik untuk kesehatan. Beberapa outlet tersebar di Jawa Tengah, Yogyakarta, Bogor, dan Jakarta sebagai pusat distribusi beras Martani di wilayah tersebut.
Petani kecil produsen beras lokal sehat dan pedagang telah diberikan fasilitasi dalam memajukan sistem kewirausahaan sosial ini. Fasilitasi dan pembangunan unit bisnis ini kemudian memberikan petani-petani kecil produsen beras sehat lokal kepastian harga dan insentif atas upaya budidaya pangan sehat yang dilakukan. Di sisi lain produsen memperoleh beras yang sehat dan berkualitas dengan harga yang terjangkau.
Program KRKP yang didukung oleh ICCO Cooperation bertujuan untuk membangun model kewirausahaan sosial untuk para petani kecil produsen beras sehat dan bagi LSM yang memasarkannya di perkotaan

For a Childhood free from Commercial Sexual Violence
Capacity building in commercial sexual violence is a priority ; organizing and monitoring the development of the set of prevention activities including the rural areas where we have identified areas of high risk for developing this crime. The actions will take place in the departments of La Paz, El Alto, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and Sucre.
Violence / sexual exploitation of children and adolescents is defined as "any activity in which a person uses the body of a child or teenager to take advantage or benefit of a sexual nature, based on a relationship of power".
In South America this problem is growing: children and adolescents (NNA) as potential victims of violence / sexual exploitation or trafficking crimes. One reason is the situation of social exclusion in which they live and that forces them to go out in search of work to support the family livelihood or a victim of family abandonment. However, the existence of commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents cannot be explained only from the standpoint of economic hardship. Other factors that influence the absence of social recognition of children and adolescents as individuals with rights, sexism, school dropout, sexual abuse and / or physical addiction to drugs or alcohol and belonging to youth gangs.
The Movement Against Sexual Violence in Bolivia is a proposal of national scope that has as its starting point the city of El Alto taking into account indicators of a context that encourages such violence. A gradual intervention of the program will occur in the cities of El Alto, La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and Sucre according to the fields of action ICCO partners and building new inter-agency partnerships.
General objective
Strengthen and consolidate the Vuela Libre Movement: For a childhood free of commercial sexual violence in Bolivia in order to contribute to reducing this crime.
Specific objectives:
1. Strengthen the capacity of public and private institutions related to the VSC Movement for the coordination of joint actions.
2. Place the issue of VSC in areas of prevention and advocacy with partners and allies of the Movement
3. Promote knowledge generation on VSC and its dissemination
4. Coordinate actions of the Vuela Libre Movement at a regional level
5. Mobilize resources to ensure the sustainability of the Movement
The main objective of the movement is to encourage discussion, debate and taking action to address a sustained fight against this crime that affects more and more children and adolescents in our country.
The work of ICCO's partners in relation to the fundamental rights of children and adolescents is of high relevance and impact in several departments, however the actions to combat specifically Commercial Sexual Violence currently have a (departmental Municipal ) limited scope the Movement seeks to expand.
In this context ICCO Bolivia, through the Movement against Commercial Sexual Violence considered essential to identify "the most promising practices" and make them visible to some strategic actors to take an active role to curb this crime.
For the year 2015 the project is based on five lines of action: linking and learning, prevention, advocacy, research and regional joint.
The Role of ICCO.
ICCO Cooperation, promotes since 2012 the existence of the Movement Against Commercial Sexual Violence by building partnerships between institutions that have been working the problem at the national, departmental and municipal levels.
The institutions during 2014 that joined the Movement are over 50, and the expectation is to grow further in the 2015 management. The expectation for 2015 is to consolidate the Committee of work that involved institutions working in the field and others who are interested in incorporating it into their agendas.
Relevance in the Region.
The issue of Commercial Sexual Violence has become uncontrollable proportions globally and the countless actions taken appear to be insufficient to curb the problem .
Studies show that more and more paths exist trafficking nationwide that connect to international routes which makes this crime a subject of international concern.
In this sense, the movement proposes that the civil society can generate actions to support the implementation of this public policy articulated manner in relation to the specific issue of Commercial Sexual Violence.
Also strategic regional coordination of ICCO is in Bolivia to encourage mutual learning with other member countries of ICCO (Brazil, Peru , Colombia , Paraguay and Suriname).
Project Location.
The Movement Against Commercial Sexual Violence in Bolivia is a proposed nationwide . During the first phase they have begun actions in the cities of La Paz , El Alto, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and Sucre and to consolidate the actions of the Movement in these same cities with support from ICCO partners achieved in 2014.
Executor's Relevance (ICCO partners KiA)
The executing project partner is the Education Centre and Communication Jovenes Bolivia - ECO JOVENES BOLIVIA, is a private non-profit organization (NGO) Registration No. from the Prefectural Resolution No. 094 2004, recognition of Legal Status. NIT Tax Identification Number: 125129024, with registration certificate No. 0420 (transient) of March 24, 2014, at the Ministry of Autonomy of the Plurinational State of Bolivia.
ECO JOVENES focuses its work on urgent and specific issues such as the prevention of violence in all areas: Commercial Sexual Violence, violence in schools, gender violence, domestic violence, culture of good treatment, among others; because as a Rights’ defender institution of childhood and adolescence, we are convinced that we must influence public opinion in three areas: issues, actors
and approaches.
Topics and pressing issues as Commercial Sexual Violence against children and adolescents have to be on the agenda of the mass media to make this crime visible and warn the population, but through a journalistic quality treatment that respects the rights of children and adolescents, guiding and mobilizing different sectors of society towards the need for effective public policies that protect children and adolescents, particularly the most vulnerable to this crime.
The key actors for ECO JOVENES are children and adolescents to whom we have to make visible because they are the human capital of this society, the key to human development in the country and they represent almost 50% of the national population; they are Rights' subject that deserve respect and protection by the state and society as a whole.
Grassroots organizations, government institutions and NGOs are called to plunge their responsibility in the prevention of commercial sexual violence, and therefore they must be informed and sensitized on the issue, to assume an attitude of enforcement and social control towards the State, in terms of public policy, investment, law, among others.
ECO JOVENES' proposal is to make a Communication with Focus on the Rights of Children and Adolescents because the sustainable development agenda in Bolivia and Latin America goes through inevitably ensuring the rights of children and adolescents. The infringements' impact of these rights in the long term, will be devastating for our society.
Media monitoring
The media are vehicles of information, knowledge and entertainment, but also instruments of propaganda and advertising. At the same time, they are cultural trainers because they determine to a
large extent, our ideas, habits and customs. They shape tastes and trends in audiences of all ages and even influence how the person relates with oneself, with their peers and with the world.
They provide information and elements for people to build, ponder and form their opinions. They are
often intermediaries between society and political power.
They are a power because they have the tools and mechanisms that give them the possibility to impose; that condition or may condition the behaviour of other powers, organizations or individuals regardless of their will and strength.
Media builds the agenda of topics that are being discussed daily and help to set the agenda for the
political, social and economic issues. But, what is the true role of the media?
In 1990 the Convention on the Child's Rights was signed (CRC), in which all countries in the world except Somalia and the United States pledged to take measures to ensure childhood and adolescence protection. The Bolivian State ratified this international Regulation.
At ECO JOVENES, we are convinced that this commitment should also be assumed by the Mass Media, which have a duty to promote these rights and defend them for their compliance, within the
framework of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Due to this, for ECO JEOVENES is transcendental to work in monitoring the print media because they
set the agenda for other media such as radio and television. To this, it is added that the monitoring work allows us to measure the quality of broadcast news print media, identify shortcomings in its
approach, especially in such complex and sensitive topics as Commercial Sexual Violence, and from
that x-ray we can contribute to a respectful press coverage of children and adolescents' rights and that
journalists and social communicators constitute in effective agents for the promotion and dissemination of children and adolescents’ rights, and therefore, mobilize consciences positively in favour of this important population part.
For the development of their actions, ECO JOVENES has the following programs:
• Communication and Education
National Network of Children and Adolescents Communicators -NINACOM.
The main objective is to empower children and adolescents to have a leading role and exercise their
right to communication. To this end, two weekly nationally syndicated productions are performed:
- Radio news magazine "RADAR JUVENIL" produced by teenagers.
- Radio children's magazine "La Colmena" produced by children.
- Training teams of children. Children and adolescents in communication with a focus on the Rights of Children and Adolescents.
- Dissemination of radio products through several chains of Bolivia citizen and community radios.
• Research and Information
- News Agency for the Rights of Children - ANNI Bolivia
The main aim is to generate a journalistic culture that promotes and defends the rights of childhood
and adolescence.
Its main actions are:
- Written media monitoring for measuring the quantity and quality of news published by the Bolivian press, on children and adolescents, through the application of a strict methodology of monitoring print
media.
- Training of journalists and communicators in communication focusing on the Rights of Children and Adolescents.
- Social mobilization from the organization and mass participation for the promotion and defense of the
rights of childhood and adolescence activities, mobilizing journalists, communicators, academics, universities, grassroots organizations, etc.
These are challenges, among others, addressed from the perspective of communication, that encourage and guide the work of ECO JOVENES and the proposed implementation of this project.
Though the project implementation is entrusted to ECO JOVENES, a set of member institutions of the
Movement will coordinate the implementation of the Vuela Libre Movement proposal: for a childhood
free of commercial sexual violence in Bolivia.
Engineering of the Project
The focus of the program is based on the proposal of Social Mobilization and relies on components of participation, information, communication and research to enhance collective action in relation to the lines of action envisaged in the project (linking and learning, prevention, research and incidence)
Analysis of sustainability (economic, social, environmental, cultural, technological and organizational) project.
Social sustainability of the project is guaranteed mainly from the work being done by ICCO partners in their direct involvement in the issue (Board against VSC, Eco Jovenes, Art Companies, Hermanas Adoratrices, IDH, and Juana Azurduy).
The social mobilization actions generated by the movement are aimed at raising awareness towards the issue of VSC in the action lines framework of the program.
Art continuity as an essential tool for raising awareness, reflection and care for victims of VSC adds an element of cultural sustainability of high relevance.
The economic sustainability of the project will depend on the institutional negotiations (alliances and agreements) that generates the Movement and ICCO partners in vsc.
Resources are managed through other funding sources to ensure the sustainability of the Movement to a medium term.
5. Monitoring and Evaluation System
The project will be monitored from the Movement Coordination as part of the Booster Committee and will have the support of partner institutions working in the field to monitor the implementation and planned actions together. Prior coordination, the Booster Committee will prepare the respective monitoring reports according to the objectives and indicators proposed.
6. Other Funding Sources
It is expected to have strategic partners that support the Movement with resources and in the first instance, it is considered the possibility of working together with other NGOs, as well as managing the participation of international cooperation agencies and the public sector.
The budget includes funds corresponding to:
1) ICCO funds managed by ECO JOVENES.
2) The balance of the project 78-03-04015, administered by the Munasim Kullakita Foundation.
3) Balance of the PORTICUS funding administered by ICCO.
4) Budget of the Pan para el Mundo, administered by Eco Jovenes.
5) Funds to finance: proposals will be presented to UN WOMEN and PORTICUS, among others.
Although Bolivia passed the Law Nº 263 against Trafficking in persons (2012), there are not yet formal initiatives for its effective implementation and victims of commercial sexual violence are increasing day by day. The few shelters in the country are constantly entering new victims and with lack of adequate resources for their reintegration.
As this occurs traffickers networks and pimps have been diversified forms of castrating children and adolescents and the routes for trafficking in persons, which tends to exacerbate the problem.
The social sustainability of the project was initially based on the relationship established with partners ICCO commercial sexual violence, is the Munasim Kullakita Foundation, Mesa against commercial sexual violence in El Alto, Eco Youth, Companies of art, the Adorers, the Institute of Human Development and the Juana Azurduy Center.
Since coordination with these institutions have created spaces for reflection and training in the subject to expand its arrival to new institutions identified in each department.
The economic sustainability of the project depends, first, on the identification of strategic partners for joint development of new funding proposals. Preliminarily, and through ICCO, they have been prepared and presented proposals that obtained financing for the activities of the Movement for the steps 2015 and 2016 (Bread for the World and PORTICUS).
It is also expected to establish additional strategic alliances with institutions working on the issue of trafficking and who are interested in incorporating the theme of Commercial Sexual Violence.
The permanent linkage of the strategic allies of the Movement will ensure the sustainability of the proposed policy, however there is also a counterparty of these institutions translated into his personal involvement in the actions and in a permanent joint around the production and dissemination of material communications.
Continuous accession of new members from training for replication and for social mobilization is aimed at ensuring the sustainability of the topic at the technical level.
The political sustainability of the proposal is rooted in the joint for social mobilization has been strong in the initial actions of the Movement, with the support of social networks, the media and the arts as a tool to raise awareness.
Another alternative strategies Movement aims is to identify potential funders, donors and strategic allies in the private sector of the country with a view to formulating aimed at ensuring the economic sustainability of its priority actions strategies.
1. Strengthen the capacity of public and private institutions related to the VSC Movement for the coordination of joint actions.
2. Place the issue of VSC in areas of prevention and advocacy with partners and allies of the Movement
3. Promote knowledge generation on VSC and its dissemination
4. Coordinate actions of the Vuela Libre Movement at a regional level
5. Mobilize resources to ensure the sustainability of the Movement
- Private and public institutions: Institutions of civil society , international cooperation and public sector.
-Community Educational and social organizations allied institutions linked to the movement.
- Journalism with focus on radio, television, multimedia and print journalism for a rights-based treatment.
- State Operators working in relation to the issues of trafficking in the different spheres of government and require information and awareness on the issue.
-Volunteers to be able to talk about VSC in different areas of prevention.

Promoting the inclusion Amaranth Chain Value
Fair Economic Development
This project will improve the participation of smallholders amaranth within the local value chain following the " four pillars model " developed by the CGGC- Center for Globalization , Governance and Competitiveness at the University of Duke- Agenda for about improvement processes in agrifood supply chains locally and its integration to global chains.
Amaranth, is what quinoa was probably 10 years ago: a grain with a large potential but with little planning for production. Therefore, the central problem that will serve this project is the weakness of the current value chain and amaranth in Chuquisaca the relationship between the main actors (producers, cooperatives, intermediaries and buyers ) to reach high value markets
Meanwhile, among the causes of this problem can be named as follows: first, producers have low technical skills , there are significant challenges in marketing. Opportunities exist for SME producers and move toward the production of valuable products added (for example, developing cereal bars, cookies and drinks), producer organizations have significant institutional weaknesses, particularly lack of management skills business and capital work that does not allow them to provide valuable services to their members or gain power purchasing on the market.
BACKGROUND
The area of intervention is made up by 8 municipalities of the region called central Chuquisaca. This region has primarily agricultural vocation which is limited due to low productivity with reduced generation of economic income for peasant families; there is also high food insecurity affecting the youth and children, limited participation of women in productive processes; smallholding (small agricultural property), minimum presence of marketing channels, limited promotion and support for productive prioritized complexes, and inappropriate management of natural resources (land, water and vegetation). It is a challenge to find alternatives which can contribute to generation of economic and social opportunities for rural producers in the department of Chuquisaca, with an approach for inclusion and sustainable development.
Currently, Chuquisaca is the largest amaranth producer at national level, and its farming is being revaluated due to the suitable properties of the land and climate in this area. Amaranth has high nutritional value and it constitutes an important alternative for rural families in order to diversify their agricultural production system, improve their economic income and contribute to food security. However, amaranth production is hampered by several limitations hindering consolidation of this field; the project intends to address these limitations with its partners in a comprehensive way.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Develop amaranth production with responsible management and marketing of amaranth in differentiated domestic and external markets, in order to improve the income of producers and their families in a sustainable way.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
Research and technological innovation component. Aimed at developing adequate technology and knowledge, based on applied research for production, harvest and post-harvest in order to support producers with technological innovations.
These innovations will be efficient, economical and sustainable for comprehensive farming management. This component also aims to control diseases and plagues and use better quality seeds in order to increase productivity. Productive development component. Seeks to increase production and productivity of amaranth farming transmitting responsible management practices and encouraging greater organic production.
Marketing, trade and differentiated markets component. Marketing channels will be expanded and/or developed allowing access to differentiated markets, domestic and external, with better prices for amaranth producers in Chuquisaca. Institutional management and strategic alliances component. Seeks to strengthen local capacities for implementation of development strategy for the amaranth sector, starting from strategic alliances and an efficient institutional framework, aimed at increasing investment and territorial conditions for amaranth production and marketing.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
1,100 producers have access to technology and production knowledge and 600 producers are able to apply techniques for production, harvest and postharvest, increasing productivity and return and decreasing losses at the end of the project. Production volume is increased by 30% until it reaches 5,500 quintals (3,850conventional quintals – 1,650 organic quintals) throughout three years.
The ratio of conventional – organic production will be approximately 70% - 30% at the end of the third year.
Amaranth producer organizations sell 85% of their production through marketing channels in differentiated markets, domestic and external, at the end of the project.
At 5 years after project completion: 50% of 600 producers are able to double their income and the other 50% increase their income by 40% at least in a sustainable way. 180 producers trade at least 1,600 quintals of organic amaranth for export. 500 producers have been included in the amaranth chain and they contribute an additional volume of at least 1,500 quintals.

Entrepreneurship Development for HIV Infected
Entrepreneurship and Livelihood (Gateway to sustainable change)
The economic condition of people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS is very poor so this project is being carried out in 5 districts of Nepal with an aim to improve the quality of lives of those people through economic growth by establishing and facilitating community enterprises and cooperative groups. More than 800 infected people and 3200 family members will be benefited by the project.
Poverty and unemployment are the major problem in Nepal. More than 1500 people are compelled to migrate to gulf countries and India for their livelihood where they get involve in unsafe sexual contact and catch HIV infections. They transmit the disease to their spouses (mainly female) when they come back home. After sometime the husband falls sick, all the money and property is spent in his treatment and most of them die of AIDS without proper diagnosis. If diagnosed, they lack the access to various investigation and treatment services due to lack of money. After the death of a husband the widow and her children have to suffer with similar problems. Realizing the need for livelihood opportunities within the communities and to address these challenges this project was developed and implemented in those locations where there is highest migration as compared to other areas of the country.
Reducing the Risk of HIV and Manage Impact of HIV Infection
1. Introduction/Background
SSS has been working in 5 districts of mid western development region, Arghakhnachi, Palpa, Shyanja, Rupandehi and Kapilbastu. Focusing the issue relating to HIV prevention, care, support and treatment previuosly and now as a pioneer organization in establishing and facilitating community entreprises and seting an example in integrated package of information in community. Still more than 800 infected HIV populations are taking care and treatment services, counseling and livelihood trainings for infected people, health care workers, political and religious leaders in community, awareness campaign through SSS, besides the capacity building trainings for above millions of people and handful of organizations SSS is also contributing for development of guidelines and manual in national level and institutionalizing effort of infected population. Community ownership and participation is always a pillar for Sakriya’s work, till the date SSS is able to establish 20 different saving groups among marginalized community ( Mostly HIV Infected population), 5 registered self help groups leaded by women (Mostly AIDS widow).Through these interventions of entrepreneur development people are linked and engaged to different types of livelihood activities, as a livelihood alternate in community Sakriya's targeted community members already initiated the plantation of Non-Timber Forest Product's ( NTFP's) such as Asparagus racemosus, Jatropha curcas, bamboo and Zenthoxylum urmatum and other herbal plants. Productions are pre contracted to be acquired by Everest Bio Diesel Company and Gorkha Ayurbed Company ( Herbal Company) which will not only create a market for this project outputs but also reduces marketing cost in future. Fair trade and community enterprises been a milestone in our accomplishments, local productions and indigenous skills and knowledge are utilized through super flour production and turmeric powder productions as enterprise development in Arghakhanchi and Syanjha and three more are yet to come within a year.
Locally adaptable commercial/profitable business can make a difference in the economy of target population SSS realizes that community business is unlike a universal formula rather it entirely a reflection of community and its available resources, consumption, production capacity and tendency of community behavior. It’s not a costly academic resource person who can assure the production methodology and transfer the skill with regular follow up in community rather it’s the same community one who is an experienced in that particular business arena can support community enterprise more effectively efficiently and regularly. SSS adapts an experience oriented efficient strategy from community and also inspiring him/her to invest in group business. Considering the limitation of technical expertise among SSS team, SSS also request ICCO if it could support to extent partnership with HELVETAS to provide technical support in all five districts (which is already started in Shyanja District).
Promoting agriculture also supports to secure the food/livelihood of target population. Despite of higher possibility of production and economic uplifting targeted population via agro production and processing, lands are yet barren in high volume and people abandoning those lands and adapting migration. Another side, unhealthy eating habit and junk food consumption is increasing faster with fostering of disposable income due to remittance. SSS focuses in creating awareness in healthy eating habits and besides this promoting agricultural culture and create a demand of local productions by establishing community enterprises. Argo based production is the best alternative and fruitful livelihood opportunity in SSS targeted districts.
Entrepreneurship can help to create job for PLHIV or other marginalized people who don’t have capital for investment and are not capable to take risk from business. Entrepreneurship is not limited just as a livelihood and profit maximization center whereas it also creates job and employment for many people in community utilizing local resources and expertise. For example, Sarwottam Pitho industry Arghakhanchi. Brown Soyabean is consumed over there with a direct inspiration for local producers and this industry also directly involves several marginalized community people as worker enabling their economic empowerment. Business promotion also needs an exercise in all local, national, regional and international clusters, SSS is striding higher in making a national and regional linkage for market production and social marketing of community based products. SSS is on its final edge of joining hands with Mega bank to make easy access of loan for micro entrepreneurs and also as a part of social marketing for our community products. SSS is also seeking and making relationship with several other corporate home and business platforms in this campaign of social marketing and business promotion.
Beside individual responsive (risk taking and profit making) business, Community enterprise is even more suitable to provide a mass employment for marginalized population. WTO agreement, free flow of goods and services, increasing globalization and competition needs a prompt decision and proactive analysis in business which is sometime harder for group business; in that case individual investment increases the sense of ownership and belongingness into it.
2. Rational
“ SSS Livelihood Program entrepreneurship and Livelihood (Gateway to sustainable change) ”
Growing concern of state into livelihood promoting activities and assimilation of livelihood in millennium development goal for poverty reduction strongly signifies the need of addressing livelihood in community which was again strongly signified during CPAC meeting organized by ICCO. Being an organization working in close coordination with government agencies, SSS also considers the strong recommendation from government representatives during CPAC in term of livelihood promotion and community based enterprises.
Realizing that poverty is one among a major influencing factor to increase vulnerability of HIV infection and badly impact the livelihood of infected and affected population stimulating migration. In Nepal, this is even more important as we have a high number of unemployed Nepalese and opportunities are limited to a privileged few. Our decade long experience from an epidemic of HIV till this scrolling into concentrated epidemic these days into risk groups where “Migrants” group holding a major portion of infected and affected our realization is till we won’t be able to create sustainable changes. Equality is not possible without economic empowerment; entrepreneurship and community based enterprises are the only key tools to assure the economic empowerment of targeted community. Lively hood component is included in the national strategy 2011-2016 but there is no any proper roadmap to link this issue with national poverty alleviation program which is designed for disadvantaged community. Considering the gap, Livelyhood activities have been integrated as part of HIV prevention care and support service to challenge the epidemic in sustainable way. SSS need to help target population for income generation activities and build link with existing lively hood services initiated by government and other organizations.
An Entrepreneur creates opportunities not just for him or herself; it can create the job opportunity for PLHAs and other marginalized population but more importantly for others. A huge gap lies in this arena, still government is not able even a minor portion of population to address their livelihood issues, skills are hardly available to acquire and there is also a gap between academic and practical knowledge.
Based on business potential survey held in Shyanja. Sakriya’s working community shares a high potentiality with regards to tourism, natural resource and agricultural production, we want to transform these highly migrating population into a self sustaining economic system by the promotion of entrepreneurship culture and technically supporting them.
Impact of past project now prepares our self help groups and saving groups to start their own enterprises; apparently Super flour Production Arghakhnachi and Turmeric Production Syanjha are initiated with many more to come but still facilitation and market promotion to be performed with quality assurance, approval of food and quality department and micro lab checking followed by branding, social marketing and development of positive attitude of consumers towards the product.
They are able to acquire machines and establish production plants by themselves, exploring and seeking funds from local government system and recommendation of Sakriya and they still feel to be technically supported from Sakriya in terms of their product promotion, quality assurance and link with national and international potential consumers. Groups and individuals who are yet to start are eagerly waiting for the business potential survey and other pre establishment assistance from Sakriya. Sakriya with coordination of ELAM project HELVETAS, Business potential survey is performed at Syanjha and HELVETAS did this sort of survey with other organization even in Kapilbastu district and now this coming year SSS aims in getting into action of entrepreneurship establishment and generating hundreds of lucrative micro enterprises, creating sustainable livelihood and economic empowerment of infected and marginalized group.

Short Description of Major activities and Implementation Modality
1. Community Awareness and capacity
Awareness will be performed in an integrated approach as mentioned earlier but our awareness will also penetrate community as a social marketing campaign for community products and livelihood will be promoted as a culture. Creating a supportive environment against discrimination and supportive business environment will also be a major aim of these awareness campaigns. Beside the demand creation for community enterprises products in community itself and education for migrant family to empower them for livelihood opportunity exploration and involvement in community enterprises, SSS members will also focus on nutrition, hygiene, drinking water, child protection, and health care, rights on accessing services and girl child education aiming for behavioral change in community and eradicating negative and unhygienic behavioral tendency. Leaflet design, develop and distribution will be performed with different peer educator training, mother education, children education and general education for behavioral change and livelihood promotion. Media could immaculately depict the society and create a change into it, this year SSS also aims in organizing sensitizing training for media people so that they will come along with community awareness campaign. This media campaigning will also be used for a platform of advocacy in building suitable law and policy which will neutralize discrimination and create a supportive environment for livelihood and promote entrepreneurship culture as a whole.
2. Establishment/promotion of enterprises/income generation activities
The training on business plan will be organized to existing entrepreneurs on business plan and management. It will help them to be able to manage their business more effectively. The support will be focused especially to promote super flour in Aghakhnachi and another will be in Shyanja and Palpa districts. SSS will facilitate to assure the quality of the production, branding, market promotions, and establishment of the collection and distribution centers in 5 districts including Kathmandu. Ongoing technical support is also crucial to minimize risk of business failure. SS will also support to build link/involve in existing or new cooperatives. 20 saving groups will be encouraged to continue their saving system, building skill for book keeping, accounting and regular meeting conduction. Exploration for technically expert and experienced human to facilitate and stimulate that particular business, funding resources and resource mobilization will be done from centers that will create foundation for sustainable income sources into targeted population. As per the need and recommendation, SSS also aims in distributing seed money/ seed seedling support for groups and individuals. Small amounts seed money provided for savings groups and individual entrepreneurs to takes loans to start income generation activities. Ongoing technical and marketing support through regular follow up and monitoring visit
The technical support will be done as per the need of entrepreneurs due to minimize the risk of failures and maximize profit from business. There is also a part of business counseling, monitoring, and updating the skills by different types and level of expert. This activity will be continued throughout the project.
Community enterprises and micro entrepreneurs could only be promoted if their access to micro funds is easier via community cooperatives, they must be trained in basic cooperative management, accounting and simple easy understanding of recorded transactions. Marketing and advertisement campaign in Local level.
Different orientation program, social marketing campaign, related day celebration, FM PSA’s ( public service announcement) in Radio , hoarding board, flex and other marketing campaign will be performed throughout the project time and again. This campaign will also be complimented by linkage building and networking with likeminded forums and entrepreneurs for better understanding of market and demand creation. Existing saving groups are repeatedly insisting upon the strong presence of SSS with their verdict that SSS must facilitate in terms of choosing their leader, conflict resolution and minimization of fraud transactions. Team leaders are to be trained in different dimensions of institutional development, refreshment trainings and review meeting must be conducted.
3. Bridging Gaps and building linkage
This globe is striding higher for its ambitious target of triple zero (Discrimination, new infection and death) and this target is not possible without addressing gaps in service and creating a linkage between service providers and seekers in a right based approach. Scenario is changed but still people are dying in remote areas and approach to service is less affordable and accessible. Still Care, support and referral services are the vertebral bone for HIV infected caring mechanism, services are still not accessible for an average representative infected and their family and this gap is to be fulfilled. Home visit follow up will not just be performed for care and support but this opportunity will also advocate for livelihood promotion and address the opportunity of possible livelihood and employment opportunities for the economic inclination.
4. Strengthening Coordination /Networking
In this critical stage when local representatives are not present in local level and yet HIV related issues are not owned by government, DPAC/DACC like platforms carries a very important essence to be mobilized in term of livelihood promotion, their presence and influence will be utilized in establishment and facilitation of community enterprises, resource exploration and build linkages with district and local level agriculture, industrial and forestry agencies. Beside this networking and coordination will also be done with small cottage industries, their local association, District Agricultural Office, different bank for easy access of loan to entrepreneurs and even saving groups are also to be coordinated for this purpose. Refreshment and updated training for FCHV’s will also be performed on the other hand review and update meetings with saving group leaders, community enterprise representative and entrepreneurs will also be done.
Project was started from 15 July 2014, SSS is supporting 5 formal and 20 informal groups for their capacity enhancement on enterprise development and cooperative management. 20 informal groups have initiated regular saving and credit activities. Members from these groups are being involved in small enterprises. SSS has facilitated in the process and organized training on enterprise development and Cooperative. Five formal groups are registered and trying to access resources for livelihood improvement program and enterprise development. Gradually groups are being capable in these areas.
The project has facilitated self-help groups in the process of their formation and strengthening their capacity in business planning, accounting and cooperative management. At least one registered and four non registered groups are there in one district which are being linked with related district level government line agency for necessary technical support like, District cooperative office, Domestic and small enterprises development office. District development office etc. District Development Offices are found to be very supportive towards these groups. They have started to allocate a certain amount of their welfare budget to these groups So there is no doubt that the work will be continued after the donor funding ends.
The overall project goal is to help reduce incidence and prevalence of HIV, TB and sexually transmitted infection among migrants, youth, women and children and improve quality of life of those who are already infected and affected.
People infected with and affected by HIV and AIDS and those who are more vulnerable to HIV infections and being suffered by the impact of HIV infection both economically and physically like: Migrants, their spouses, youth, women and children are major primary target groups of this project. People and organizations existing within the project area who want to serve the those like health workers, institutions, Village AIDS coordination committees, self-help groups of people living with AIDS, government officials, community leaders, religious leaders are secondary target groups.

Manq'a Good Appetite
Fair Economic Development
The " Good appetite Bolivia : Local Food for a Better Future " has between one of its pillars, the intervention with disadvantaged young people 14-28 years of El Alto and provinces, to be trained as chefs and entrepreneurs. During his training young men / women cook with organic ingredients of the country, produced by small farmers with limited resources.
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin-America, where more than half of the population lives below the poverty line of less than $ 2 per day. That represents 5 million people! And even though Bolivia is changing, the economy is slightly improving and democracy is consolidating, the daily reality for most people remains challenging. Many farmers move to the cities because of the miserable income in rural areas. But unemployment in the city is soaring. Problems like child mortality, malnutrition, bad health and low life expectancy are omnipresent. Young people in particular have few opportunities to improve their future and often get entrapped in crime.
This project uses the Bolivian local cuisine to overcome these social and economic issues. We are going to cook against poverty and for a better life! Ensuring sustainable production and sustainable consumption of food by setting up a cooperation in the food chain: farmers, chefs and consumers.
THE PROJECT
With this project, deprived youth in Bolivia are trained to become chefs and culinary entrepreneurs so they can build a better future for themselves. This is part of a broader strategy in Bolivia with which we aim to increase the market for locally produced food. But instead of starting with the farmers, whose income is very limited and who often struggle to survive, we start with the market by creating more demand for their products.
In their training as chefs, the youngsters cook with local ingredients, based on the traditional local cuisine. As chefs they serve high quality healthy food, prepared with local and sustainably grown produce. They are pioneers when it comes to promoting these local dishes and making the traditional cuisine popular again. The ultimate goal is to increase the demand for locally, environment friendly and animal friendly produced healthy food. That means that not only these young people benefit from the project, but also the other stakeholders in the food chain: local farmers who produce the ingredients and the consumers who eat the meals.
The importance of this project lies in generating economic opportunities for small farmers in Bolivia who grow healthy produce in a sustainable way and with a good market potential. Our approach stimulates that market potential by increasing the demand for these products. When the demand increases, the income of the local farmers and the living conditions of their families improve. At the same time, the trained youth will also have a better future as they can find a stable job as a chef. The project contributes to the improvement of public health too by means of healthier food. It contributes to environment and animal friendly food production and to a revaluation of the cultural heritage, the traditional cuisine and traditional knowledge about food.
Obviously we won't do this alone but in collaboration with others who have joined the Bolivian culinary movement. Besides producers, chefs and consumers, there are also other relevant actors involved in the movement such as companies, knowledge institutions, the public sector, service providers and NGO's. With this movement, Bolivia follows in the footsteps of Peru where chef Gaston Acurio turned Peruvian dishes into haute cuisine for which he was awarded the Prins Claus award in 2009. The movement is already well established in Peru, but in Bolivia it is still in its infancy. With this project, the Postcode Loterij can give the movement in Bolivia a huge boost and promote the Bolivian cuisine.
In order to achieve these objectives, the project will set up 10 schools in the city of El Alto. 3,000 Deprived youngsters of indigenous origin will be trained in these schools to become qualified chefs. The 10 schools will be set up for a 3-year period in existing community centers, gyms and canteens in El Alto where activities are being organized for youngsters such as sports, games, theatre, music etc. Canteens or restaurants will be set up in these centers where the visitors can buy meals, prepared by the students, for a very low price. On average, about 100 youngsters per day visit a community center.
The project starts with the selection and preparation of the locations and the setting up of the schools, the purchase of equipment and utensils, the recruitment of the El Alto youngsters who could be entitled to the training and who are willing to participate, the development of a training program and training of the teachers. The extensive knowledge and experience of our partners such as Melting Pot Bolivia and the restaurant GUSTU is essential here. As they are already training the teachers and developing the training program for the cookery schools, the project can start rapidly. The aim is to have the first schools ready to go within 1 month after the start of the project.
The project Good Appetite Manq'a currently has achieved the opening of 6 cooking schools with a range of 500 students and every five months we renew courses and enrollments.
To achieve supplyes for each cooking school were reached so far agreements with 4 producer associations, approximately 60 families we favor in income and production demand, achieving strengthen the supply chain. Until June 2015 we hope to have 9 schools operating simultaneously.
Sustainability focuses on the social, human and technical capacities that young people will acquire the whole process of training, with in short medium and long term will allow them to meet decent and fair working conditions. They also become managers of social change in their communities and their families.
In schools restaurant or cafe will be established, the revenue generated by the sale of food generate income to support operation of the school. It also will promote sustainable gastronomic ventures in time for young men / women
Another aspect that will give long-term project sustainability is the participation of the public authorities of the city of El Alto, who institutionalized within the educational structure to schools Manq'a Good Appetite.
• Increased demand for local products , increasing its value
• Reduction of youth unemployment

I. Chefs
The chefs in this project are deprived youngsters from the city of El Alto. The majority of these young people is born in rural areas but has moved to urban areas due to a lack of future prospects.
II. Producers
Bolivian small farmers of indigenous origin. Most of them live below the poverty line. Their meagre income often has to feed 4-5 people. They possess very little land (on average 0.5-1 hectare) which is often difficult to cultivate and not always very fertile.
III. Consumers
The direct consumers in this project are the lower and middle class inhabitants of El Alto.

Stepping Up, Stepping Out (SUSO II)
Career Development and Economic Empowerment for Sex Workers
The program SUSO II (Stepping Up, Stepping Out Phase II), career development and economic empowerment for sex workers, offers a comprehensive and joined-up approach to working with sex workers in 10 countries and with the global network of sex workers. This program aims to use Dutch expertise on career development/economic empowerment projects.
Although legislation regarding sex work varies among the Latin American countries, one reality is widespread: discrimination of sex workers is rampant as is stigmatisation of the industry. This leads to limited access to health care, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, and gross violations of male, female and transgender sex workers’ human rights.
In Latin American countries, sex workers are rarely consulted on decisions concerning their working conditions and are hardly ever involved in the development of programs targeting them.
Trafficking of children for sexual exploitation purposes is exacerbated by the fact that most countries in the region have legislation establishing (on average) 14 years of age as the legal age for own consent to work. The available data show that the number of children sexually exploited in the region is increasing while the average age of exploited children is decreasing.
This program will support sex workers and sex worker organizations to build capacity that will contribute to their empowerment and to (career) development opportunities for sex workers themselves. The program does not stand on its own. At both country and regional level, activities will be complementary to existing programs. For a few countries it is scaling up the activities developed in
the first proposal on Career Development of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Strategies and activities
Institute of Hermanas Adoratrices (AASC), Bolivia
AASC has separate strategies for women involved in commercial sex works, and adolescents. In terms of women involved in commercial sex work, it aims to improve capacities to support women in situations of prostitution as well as adolescents recovered from sexual exploitation networks. The main project aim is to help FSWs find alternatives income streams for their survival and their families. The core of this strategy resides on job training. Once the job specialization is completed, women still need support for the application of their knowledge and professional practice. AASC will offer them internships in their productive workshops and/or other work places. In the last phase of the process, AASC will seek alliances with financial institutions which could give them credit to start their working activities independently as well as technical assistance to develop and implement “business plans”.
In terms of working with adolescents, AASC maintains a co-ordinated network with various institutions.
Based on the experience gained, the time for staying in the temporary shelter will be more flexible for girls and adolescents according to their recovery processes. The work stream regarding “reconstruction of life” will be reinforced with a comprehensive vision, which includes: family guidance, comprehensive health care (with emphasis on sexual and reproductive health), treatment for violence and abuse, rehabilitation for drug users, and and individual psychotherapy, all of which will be addressed with an approach of spiritual guidance based on values.
Strategies for intermediate exit will be specially developed for girls that cannot be reintegrated into their families. Among other activities, they will be prepared in order to develop abilities and skills that will enable them to find jobs which promote their economic autonomy. For their treatment, relationship and interaction networks will be developed, particularly with public institutions in order to transfer the model for assistance and care that is being developed, so it can be applied in other shelters under state administration, for girls in similar situations.
Strategies and activities

Strategies and activities
CEDECA, Brazil
The project is aimed mainly at the fight against sexual violence and trafficking of children, adolescents and young women in the state of Pará, with the objective of achieving coordination with the state and other relevant stakeholders in the north region of the country, focusing in particular in the neighbouring country of Suriname.
The activities that will be developed will address the lack control measures, both in the terms of public policies as well as in civil society responses. Trafficking of persons, even for sexual purposes, in spite of being prevalent in society still appears as an almost invisible problem for the authorities , while there is prejudice and discrimination in the destination countries. Therefore, the core strategy of the the whole project intends to give voice to women/adolescents in situations of vulnerability to trafficking and sexual exploitation and change their point of view with regards to their capacity to influence public policy proposals, trying to concentrate on different spaces (ministries, departments, commissions, forums, cooperation agencies, and others) with the purpose of rating the provision of public services, prevention, protection and the Public Prosecutor in addressing trafficking of persons and sexual exploitation of girls/boys and adolescents.
The actions will be carried out through the organisation of groups of adolescent and young women and through institutional alliances with different sectors, such as governmental and non-governmental organizations of the state of Pará, Brazil and Suriname.
The outcomes expected at the end of every year are advocacy plans developed by the women themselves and discussed with the ministries, secretariats and other institutions, in order to include concrete actions in their action plans and budgets, as well as establish links with the organizations in Surinam aiming at structuring international cooperation actions among non-governmental organizations and later on, among governmental organizations.
Strategies and activities
CHS Alternativo - Peru
Since the main objective of the project is “contribute to implementation of public policies…”, the target group of the program will consist of at least 120 officials of public institutions who will be trained to improve their capacities for assistance of adolescents victims of sexual exploitation and/or trafficking of persons. We expect that this work will have an multiplier effect.
At least 120 girls, boys, adolescents (younger than 18 years old) victims of trafficking, and at least 30 families will be provided with psychological and legal assistance. Although this quantity is still small for the magnitude of the problem in Peru, this work will allow improvement of the assistance and care model that we transfer to the public sector for its implementation at greater scale. For the public advocacy component, the media will be sensitized directly and personally; especially those from the most influential media. They will be sent special briefings periodically to make the public aware of the work that is being done. Civil society will be informed and sensitized in order to replicate the information among the members of their groups, and their public statement on the subject. The aim is for civil society to express a unified and collective opinion against sexual exploitation which will support legislative initiatives.
In this context, social grassroots organizations will state an opinion and mobilize themselves demanding justice on emblematic cases in need of approval of legislative proposals and demand for action by the State through concrete plans and/or actions. CHS has a psychological and legal Assistance Centre for victims of trafficking and their relatives. The centre is a first entry point, it will refer cases to public services and will monitor the access of victims to these services (health, education, employment, and others).
Strategies and activities
TESIS, Nicaragua
The target group of the project will consist of 250 female sex workers, of which approximately 40% are young women (19 to 27 years old) and 60% are adults (28 to 55 years old). They all come from low socio-economic levels and are located in the urban area (city of Managua). In addition to this group, it is also taken into consideration an additional quantity of 40 women leaders of sex workers’ organizations and about 750 families of women living in prostitution as an indirect beneficiary group.
Intervention strategies are aimed at enabling female sex workers to develop their individual capacities through an empowering process which will help them improve their life and health conditions and withdraw from prostitution (if they decide to do so).
The project will provide direct assistance to 250 female sex workers in ten places of sex work; including individual and family psychological assistance to enhance self-esteem and personal skills, and education with regards to personal growth, prevention of violence and sexual and reproductive health issues. It will train at least 150 female sex workers wanting to withdraw from prostitution, of which at least 45 are expected to complete successfully their training processes and get access to seed capital in order to undertake new economic activities.
The program will facilitate women supporting each through the promotion of support networks. Collaboration will be sought with institutions with knowledge of the labour market in order to get more insights in most profitable occupations women can engage and with public and private financial institutions to improve access to microcredit conditions and technical assistance in order to favour entrepreneurial development of women involved.
The project will collaborate with IPAS, which will take on social research, public advocacy and expansion of alliances to better promote the rights of female sex workers. The latter is also an important reason to seek for collaboration with ”Girasoles” a female sex workers’ organization. A cross-cutting approach in all project components is working with and strengthening of peer educators capacities and leadership.
Internally, TESIS will improve its project management capacities particularly its monitoring and evaluation system. It will also work on effective measures to better prevent “Burn-Out” of technical staff.
The main results of the SUSO program for 2013 have been higher than expected. At the end of year 2013, the program, at a global level, has already reached 9.000 sex workers around the globe through outreach activities and drop-in centres. At this point, 1.000 of the intended 4.000 sex workers have already participated in activities to increase their economic position. In addition, 81 victims of trafficking, and 273 minors involved in sex work and sexually exploited children have received support, including shelter and socio-psychological assistance.
Stepping Stones, Minors in sex work and sexually exploited children. Extension of the existing SUSO II Project
In August 2012, the Netherlands MOFA Opstapfonds1 awarded the three year (2013-2015) program by the Alliance made up of Aids Fonds / Soa Aids NL and ICCO/KerkinActie (known as the ‘Stepping Up Stepping Out II’ or SUSO II Program). This program has completed its second year of implementation. Part of SUSO II addresses commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) as well as young people in sex work (under Outcome 4); the current program will complement SUSO II and deepen the involvement and investment for this particular target group with its huge and urgent needs and challenges.
The Stepping Stones (currently being implemented in Latin America as well as in Asia and Africa) has defined a clear objective, as well as outcomes and activities based on a comprehensive problem analysis. Similar to SUSO II and building on that experience, Stepping Stones also incorporates optimal flexibility. This will allow for an effective program working with and for minors in sex work, but be able to adjust the work/ approach when needed, make maximum use of windows of opportunity and equally allow for scaling down/ shifting focus when the situation requires.
The Stepping Stones overall objective stems from outcome 4 of the SUSO II program but has been further focused towards working with exploited children and young people in sex work:
Overall Objective: Improved security, dignity and livelihoods of young people (including children under 18 years) vulnerable for and/or affected by sexual violence or exploited within sex work.
1.Empowerment of sex workers. Improving the capability of sex workers to make informed choices in relation to their own, career, development and concerning health.
2.Stepping Up. Sex workers have acquired skills and opportunities that are leading to increased access of income sources/opportunities.
3.Supportive environment. Organizations are capable to analyse the actual situation in relation to sex workers and on the basis of that develop effective lobby and advocacy activities.
4.Sexual Violence. Effectively addressing issues related to sexual violence and exploitation within sex work.
This program targets female, male and transgender sex workers, meaning those who receive money or goods in exchange for sexual services, either regularly or occasionally. Sex work varies between and within countries and communities. There are different forms of sex work: either it is more or less ‘formally’ organized or it is a type of ‘sexual economic exchange’. There will also be a focus on minors in the sex industry and on women being exploited and/or trafficked, both are growing phenomena. Another important target group is organizations of, or supporting, sex workers.

Promoting value chain of honey product
For poverty reduction and protection of natural resources
The project “Promoting value chain of honey product for poverty reduction and protection of natural resources for the people in the western mountainous districts of Quang Binh province” conducted by CIRD. Beekeepers in Tuyen Hoa and Minh Hoa district, with the support from the project, are less hesitant about investing in beekeeping and have experienced increasingly rising incomes.
The mountainous farmers have various unique good agricultural products derived from traditional methods which are free from application of pesticides, chemical fertilizers. Many wealthy people would love to use those products but they want to pay farmers at cheap prices. Besides challenges of fierce market competion should be considered in terms of imported goods and certain agricultural materials such as fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, veterinary medicines while farmers’ products are manipulated by traders in many cases, and there is lack of macro planning and plans. Farmers are therefore extremely confused with such problems that they find really hard to solve by themselves. This suggests farmers to necessarily ally through interest groups, associations to enhance ability to protect themselves.
• To contribute to food security; implementing the global and national Millennium goals of poverty reduction for farmers, especially ethnic people in mountainous remote areas via governance improvement and the sustainable development of rural and agricultural economy.
• To contribute to the management and sustainable use of natural resources, to maintain and nurture the natural ecosystem and preserve the cultural values of the community through the application of indigenous knowledge in farming, and by strengthening community institutions.
• To have a coalition of civil society organizations developed to help disadvantaged groups access social resources and be confident in the integration and development process.
Sustainable income for farmers
Objective 1: The eco-products with high competitive advantage are identified to implement strategy of production development and market access to contribute to ensuring the livelihood of communities in a sustainable way.
Objective 2: Values and demand of eco-farming products and farmers’ income is increase through research and improvement of value chain
Objective 3: Multi-actor cooperation for local ecological trade strategy is improved to create foundation and motivation to maintain and develop ecological farming, contribute to local food security and environmental production.
Direct beneficiaries are beekeepers of the two districts, households participating in models and key farmers. In addition, the Executive Board of the two beekeeping associations is both partners and beneficiaries of the Project. Individual production at household level becomes traditional method of the direct beneficiaries from the Project. Although others had participated in production method of the former Cooperative in the 80th decade, the failure of this model has serious influences to their motivation to change into production method for future cooperation and business.

Economic support for disabled people
Reducing Economic Vulnerability by Enable Alternative Livelihood, Program 3
People disadvantaged by leprosy and other disabilities are helped to participate in the social economic life of their communities as equally valued members, able to realize their rights to mobility, economic self-sustainability and possesion utilization of valuable skills.
In Myanmar, the population of persons with a disability that have an active livelihood is low, less than 15%. The majority lives in a situation of high economic vulnerability. Especially young parents are facing economic vulnerability while looking after a child with a disability. In return the children are suffering from a lack of adequate care and support from the parents due to their economic situation.
In Myanmar there are few facilities to enable people with a disability, or families that have children with a disability, to gain access to and utilize skills for livelihoods. Someone with disabilities might face discrimination on many levels, within their families and communities, at the regional level and also at the national level. Most disabled people suffer from some discrimination or/and exclusion, but the degree and severity often depends on the nature of their impairment and their varying personal situations. Disabled children and women are particularly vulnerable.
Most families/people with a disability live in a poverty trap, and can’t access financial capital to start economic activities to increase their livelihoods. In 2010 TLM Myanmar started the project REVEAL (Reducing Economic Vulnerability by Enable Alternative Livelihood) to support these families to find alternative livelihoods and to claim their rights. REVEAL 1 is funded by ICCO Cooperation and followed by REVEAL 2 in 2012.
This project REVEAL 3 will build on the knowledge and gains from REVEAL 2. Through this project ICCO and TLM Myanmar will strengthen the livelihoods of people with a disability and especially families with children (under 16 years) with a disability. One of the aims of REVEAL 3 is to empower people with disabilities in accessing micro finance to start a small business; health services and markets for their products.
TLMI has 19 Disability Resource Centers throughout the country, mainly in rural areas.
When the children are at school, the mothers can work or start their own small business. ICCO/KIA believes the Self Help Groups for women are a good method to increase the livelihood of families with disabled members.

Arts and Music Performance for Youth in Prison
In this project ODFM will work closely with youth in prison in Bali to promote youth rights of expression and creativity through music and arts. They will develop music and art workshop in order to provide the youth in prison space to create and perform their art and music creativity.
Indonesian youth today is confronted with the tension between strong cultural traditions and the heavy influence of modernization. The general Indonesian mindset is increasingly based on economy; unfortunately, education and school programs follow suit. For the majority of families, it remains difficult to keep up with these challenges. As a result, many young people who come from unstable or broken families experience inner conflicts, wind up dropping out of school and finding trouble with the law. From there, many enter a downward cycle of repeat sentences.
As indicated in the UN children’s rights, all children have the right to education, play, recreation and physical and emotional care. With an intensive creative program for imprisoned youth, ODFM aims to foster a positive shift in the mindset for those who are in trouble with the law, meanwhile continuing mentoring ex-prisoners in the process of finding self-esteem and a healthy environment, going back to school or finding a job.

In this project Trukajaya will focus on assisting youth and women to implement an integrated farming consisting of organic farming (local crops), intensive cattle farming and biogas. The number of target group will be 275 people from 6-sub-villages in village Lembu of sub-district Bancak in district Semarang in Central Java.
Trukajaya is a church-based NGO located in Municipality of Salatiga of Central Java province. It was established in year 1966 by Reverend Probowinoto. At the beginning they were focusing on program to eliminate poverty through transmigration (from Central Java to Sumatra), but in early 1990-s, based on their evaluation, they changed their strategy and expand their program not only focusing on economy but also on other social and political issues. As they are located in rural areas where the soil is good for agriculture, their program are focusing more on agriculture and specifically organic agriculture with the target groups mostly youth and women. Other programs are on biogas, organic certification and microfinance. Related to religion issue, they are promoting religion dialogue and development for youth and women.
The project is an integrated organic agriculture with farming, cow raising and biogas as part of the interventions. This is a very interesting project and will be a good model for other ICCO partners who are working on food security program. The project will not only involve farmers who are usually older generation but also trying to attract young generation to pay attention and start working on farming sector. Therefore, the activities that will be carried out will not only on organising the existing farmers but also introducing and training integrated farming to young generation. Further, the project is involving government (village and district level) to get their active participation not only as observer of the project but also as players especially at the village level. Basically, the project is applying a comprehensive approach on food production, local variety cultivation, organic farming, cow raising, biogas, climate change adaptation and sustainable environment.
The project is in line with Food and Nutrition Security Program and with the Indonesia country plan focusing on Natural Resource Management. It also contributes to the MoU of ICCO and MOHA as Trukajaya will involve relevant government institutions at the village and district level in the project implementation. Further, Trukajaya will also involve local university to get assistance on technical issues related to farming which is in line with programmatic approach.
Although they are closely linked with Church, they are not exclusive indicated by how they selected target groups which is not based on religion. Currently they have built good network with other organization focusing on organic farming including PAMOR (a national organization focusing on Organic Product Certification). In the project implementation, they have good relationship and cooperation with local university in Salatiga especially related to agriculture, this is certainly an added value for Trukajaya. They also have good cooperation with village government.
Trukajaya will be our new partner, however they have been supported by KiA under Diakonia. Their other funding support come from EED and local churches. . Trukajaya also has high capacity in financial management therefore starting the cooperation with full 3 years is recommended. Trukajaya will develop cooperation with local government especially institutions relevant to agriculture and food security. Trukayaja also expected to have income generated from the project and should be reported to ICCO and not used for other activities except with the approval from ICCO.
The target group will be the community in 1 village (Lembu, sub-district Bancak in district Semarang) covering 275 HHs which is 40% of the total population of the area.

Rice Duck Program 2012-2014
Upscaling of Industry-based Organic Rice and Duck Program in Mindanao
The project shall undertake the following :
1. Support to Establishment of a sustained marketing system for organic rice and duck products at domestic market.
2. IRDFS Value Chain program development and investment planning
3.Capacity building / Technical Assistance on Community Enterprise / Cooperative Development On IRDFS
4. Institutionalization of IRDFS in Local Agriculture Governance
In the Philippines, agriculture is a crucial sector for poverty reduction. 70% of poor Filipinos are in the rural areas where agriculture (often subsistence farming and fishing) is the primary and often only source of income. Thus, creating a sustainable and competitive agricultural industry is a key focus of the Philippine Development Plan, as this will bring inclusive growth to a large segment of the population.
But how can we help create a robust agricultural industry that will ensure that the current and next generation of Filipinos, especially the poor, will have plentiful, nutritious and affordable food? How we ensure that food is produced efficiently and is part of a system that is sustainable? An answer could be the Integrated Rice Duck Farming System or IRDFS.
The proposed project intervention will have three pronged strategies on organic rice industry development namely; (1) Cooperative organizing of Organic IRDFS farmers producers at the municipal or provincial level, (2) facilitate the establishment of industry-based support infrastructure for organic rice and duck products from production, processing, packaging, branding and certification, and (3) market-based advocacy for organic rice and duck products supported with evidence-based local policy development on organic rice and duck products.
Overall objective: To facilitate the consolidation of industry players in Organic Rice and Duck industries in a value chain approach with market- based advocacy to sustain expansion of IRDFS and institutionalization of organic rice program in local agriculture governance in Mindanao.
Specific objectives:
1. Organize IRDFS farmers into strong operational Municipal or Provincial level Organic rice and duck producers cooperative by 2016.
2. Established support infrastructure for organic rice and duck industry from production, processing and marketing support for farmers and industry players.
3. Sustained increase in rice yield by 25% with 30% increase in income among IRDFS farmers
4. Organic rice and duck products regularly available in domestic Market.
5. Organic rice with IRDFS brand certified for local market
6. Developed Evidence based local policy supportive to organic rice industry development to ensure institutionalization on IRDFS in local agriculture governance
7. Increase local and national government's financial allocation and support for organic rice and duck industry development by 20%
Expected Results:
At the end of three years the project should have achieved the following results:
1. At least 5 provincial and 15 municipal level IRDFS farmers producers cooperative organized benefiting at least 5,000 farming households
2. At least 1 Breeder farm and hatchery for ducks established and operational in each of the provincial project sites.
3. At least 5,000 hectares of rice farms in Mindanao have adopted PARFUND’s rice-duck technology and are producing organic rice.

Monitoring and Evaluation:
PARFUND shall submit regular narrative and financial monitoring reports to ICCO. An internal evaluation of project accomplishments shall also be conducted yearly and reports shall be submitted to ICCO. A management information system (MIS) will be established to track down development results at the household level, community and project level. PARFUND MIS will provide timely information for decision making and reporting requirements for partners and ICCO.
Duration of Project: Three years (September 2012-August 2015)
The start of the project is to train farmers on the technology and assist them in converting their rice paddies into rice-duck farms. They are likewise organized so that they can collectively engage the market.
7 farmer organizations have been organized and presently working on the organization of 3 women’s organizations whose members have started adopting rice-duck farming.
Three breeder farms have been established producing eggs which, in partnership with a local businessman, are incubated to produce ducklings that are needed by the farmers.
The cooperative organizing and capacity building of IRDFS farmers will become the sustaining mechanism of the proposed project coupled with the industry- based organizing as part of the overall development program of the IRDFS. Rapid expansion and adoption of the technology by farmers will now become a cooperative endeavor and become feasible because of the presence of certain critical factors. The operationalization of the different social enterprise where IRDFS farmers are taking active participation and ownership, the institutionalization of the technology in the local government’s own agricultural extension program allows the provision of sustained human, financial, technical, and even capital resources from government itself and the shift of the projects strategy from technology based toward market-based advocacy on organic rice using IRDFS. In addition local ordinances and policies enacted by local government executives provide a
better environment to facilitate adoption. Second the technology is highly demonstrable and as long as the farmers follow and practice the technical procedures the effects are immediately felt by the farmers. Thus the farmers themselves would look for means to self-finance the capital requirements of the technology. Third the capital requirements for replicating the technology are minimal and affordable. They do not require a major cash outlay. Some farmers’ groups and LGUs have even implemented innovative methods to multiply and disseminate the required inputs of the technology such as the nets and ducks to qualified adopters.
Overall objective: To facilitate the consolidation of industry players in Organic Rice and Duck industries in a value chain approach with market- based advocacy to sustain expansion of IRDFS and institutionalization of organic rice program in local agriculture governance in Mindanao and Bohol.
The proposed project is designed to help at least 5,000 rice farming households, workers and women. They will be organized as strong industry players of organic rice and duck in IRDFS. Majority of the targeted farmer participants are beneficiaries of the government’s land reform program and therefore have secure ownership and access to between 1 to 3 hectares of land.

Home for Street Children in Yogyakarta
Home for Street Children in Yogyakarta
In Yogyakarta, the project was started in 2009 as a Centre called Rumah Impian with the target group was and is street children. the Dreamhouse proposes a different approach to tackle the problem of street children.
Many NGO’s in Yogyakarta approach the problem of street children using the “Rumah Singgah” model. Rumah Impian on the contrary sees that the “Rumah Singgah” often served as a “pull factor,” helping children to live away from home. Many NGOs proposed programs were based on vocational training programs with no connection to employment opportunities, and alternative education efforts and other programs that had not been field tested with street children. As a result almost all of the programs failed to get the children away from the streets.
Seeing this, Rumah Impian propose a different approach to tackle the problem. A holistic approach consisting of frequent visit to the places where the street children are located, drop-in-centers which serve as emergency response points and transition centers for the street children before they are ready to leave the streets and Shelters for the street children who are ready to leave the streets and start new life as normal children.
The holistic approach is consisting of frequent visit to the places where the street children are located, drop-in-centers which serve as emergency response points and transition centers for the street children before they are ready to leave the streets, and Shelters for the street children who are ready to leave the streets and start new life as normal children.
The result that Rumah Impian seeks to achieve is that the street children leave the streets and start new life as normal child who can pursue their dreams and goals in life. The results are: The increase of the street children’s access to information, knowledge and self actualization”
• Drop-in-centers which serve as emergency response points and transition centers for the street children is provided
• The street children leave the streets and return to school to get formal/informal education and get the access to develop their talents and skills according to their dreams”
• The shelter which serve as a place for the street children who have left the streets to get proper care is provided
The Dreamhouse proposes a different approach to tackle the problem of street children. The holistic approach is consisting of frequent visit to the places where the street children are located, drop-in- centers which serve as emergency response points and transition centers for the street children before they are ready to leave the streets, and Shelters for the street children who are ready to leave the streets and start new life as normal children.
In the Hope Shelter the children are also taught entrepreneurship. The children are encouraged to save and manage their pocket money and are helped to start small business with the money they have saved. The children can also participate in a small organic farm of Rumah Impian located near the Hope Shelter. By so doing, the Dream House will have another source of funding for their operational cost.
The target group is street children in Yogyakarta , they have 8 children (under 12 years old) living in the shelter. Its concerns is primarily with the second and third category of children as defined by UNICEF and WHO, the rootless and roofless street child. This child, as we understand is one who has no adult supervision or guardianship of any kind, hence ROOTLESS, and no structure, either temporary or permanent to live in, hence ROOFLESS.

Système d'information et de communication
Système d'information et de communication sur la filière karité du Burkina
Les produits du karité (amandes, beurre, savon, pommades diverses, etc.) connaissent une demande de plus en plus forte ces dernières années. 90% de femmes en milieu rural mènent des activités dans la filière karité qui leur procurent des revenus et permet de lutter contre la pauvreté. Mais, pour vendre ses produits, il faut communiquer, il faut être informé. Les TIC sont le meilleur moyen.
Pour connaître les segments de marché les plus rentables, il faut s'informer sur les besoins que les produits du karité satisfont auprès desdits segments. Pour les vendre, il faut communiquer pour informer la clientèle cible de l'existence de solutions parfaitement adaptées à ses besoins et où elles peuvent être obtenues, points de distribution des produits. Les femmes rurales qui possèdent les amandes et le beurre sont dans les villages, elles ne connaissent pas toujours les clients potentiels que sont les fabricants de savon, de pommades, les grands acheteurs nationaux et internationaux qui eux sont dans les villes et à l'extérieur. Ce projet permet de lever les obstacles physiques aux échanges et de mettre en contact offreurs et demandeurs, en rendant disponibles et accessibles, à moindre coût et dans les meilleurs délais, les informations sur les acteurs, leurs produits, les prix, les quantités disponibles, les lieux , les délais et les modalités de paiement et de livraison.
L'interprofession TFK, qui doit rendre les informations sur les acteurs et les produits disponibles et accessibles, ne disposait pas de moyens pour le faire. Ce projet lui a permis de se doter d'équipements informatiques adéquats. Une plateforme communautaire existe pour la diffusion des informations sur les prix, les offres, les demandes, les acteurs sont informés, sensibilisés sur les objectifs et les opportunités du projet. Une base de données sur les acteurs et un site web sont en construction, des formations sont programmées ainsi qu'une dotation des acteurs en équipements informatiques.
La durabilité d'un projet est fonction de sa capacité à générer des ressources financières à même d'assurer son fonctionnement quotidien et à s'autofinancer. Il est prévu, en collaboration avec Afrique Verte, partenaire avec qui la TFK partage la plateforme SIM AGRI, une étude approfondie afin de déterminer le seuil minimal critique d'utilisateurs permetant de générer les ressources financières nécessaires au maintien du système. Cela permettra de mener des actions d'information et de communication nécessaires envers les publics cibles afin qu'ils puissent s'approprier cet outil et susciter en eux la fréquentation de la plateforme.
Par ailleurs, actuellement, le gouvernement burkinabé est entrain d'élaborer une stratégie nationale de la filière karité assortie d'un plan d'action triennal dans lequel il est inscrit des actions de renforcement du système d'information et de communication de la filière karité du Burkina. Si la stratégie venait à être mise en oeuvre, les actions inscrites seront donc menées par la TFK en vu de la consolidation des acquis du projet.
« OEuvrer au développement de la filière karité et à la protection de la ressource, arbre à karité, par l’amélioration de la compétitivité des entreprises de production, de transformation et de distribution du karité, afin de contribuer à l’atteinte des objectifs de la SCADD qui visent à accroitre la qualité de vie de la population, en particulier des femmes rurales, et dans un souci de développement durable. »

Kari & TIC
Extension de la commercialisation des produits karité
Le projet est une initiative des membres de la coopérative des productrices de beurre de karité de Zantièbougou (COPROKAZAN). Il vise à améliorer le revenu des membres pour leur permettre de faire face aux problèmes sociaux économiques auxquels ils sont confrontés. Il s'agit entre autres des questions de sécurité alimentaire, d'amélioration des conditions de vie globale des femmes et des enfants.
Le socle du projet est l'amélioration la communication. En effet, de la création de la coopérative à nos jours, la demande dépasse de loin l'offre malgré l'augmentation du volume de production d'année en année. Pour faire face à ce problème, la coopérative a décidé de doter d'un système de communication qui pourrait d'acheter les amandes de karité partout au mali et vendre partout à travers le monde. D'ou la mise en place des cellules d'information de proximité.
Le projet permettra à la coopérative de s'approvisionner plus en amandes de karité pour mieux produire durant toute l'année afin de satisfaire la demande nationale, sous régionale et même internationale. Trois parties concurrent l'atteinte des résultats du projet: C4C, AMPJ et COPROKAZAN. La mise en place des CIP et du réseau des CIP est un moyen sûr pour arriver au résultat ultime.
Le projet en cours depuis 2012. Nous amorçons la troisième année du projet à partir du mois d'août prochain. C'est dire que le projet est en activité. Actuellement, le projet s'attaque au problème principal posé par le projet. S'approvisionner plus et vendre partout à travers le monde. Déjà, le projet a donné des résultats satisfaisants en termes de familiarisation avec les TIC
Comme tout bon projet, le présent projet s'inscrit dans la durabilité. Cet aspect a été bien pensé depuis la conception du projet, d'où la contribution obligatoire des bénéficiaires au projet. Le projet la mis en place tous les outils susceptibles d'avoir des informations fiables. Les bénéficiaires ont été formés à l'application du système. Hormis le développement de nouveaux systèmes qui pourraient engendrer des coûts élevés, les autres composantes demandent de appuis financiers majeurs. C'est dire que le projet est durable.
Renforcer les capacités techniques et organisationnelles de COPROKAZAN. Le présent projet est la suite logique d'un projet qui a été appuyé par IICD de 2007 à 2010. La mise en oeuvre du projet apportera une solution au problème récurrent de rupture d'amandes durant l'année entraînant du coup la non satisfaction de certains clients nationaux et internationaux.
