NL-KVK-41198890-NL-KVK-41198890-NGA100237 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The Dutch Relief Alliance has activated its fastest crisis response mechanism to develop an emergency humanitarian response within 72-hours to assist flood-affected populations in North-East Nigeria (Borno State). Six Dutch based NGOs (Plan International, Oxfam, CARE, Terre des Hommes, ZOA & Stichting Vluchteling/IRC) together with seven local NGOs (CHAD, CRUDAN, CATAI, CBI, EYN, LABDI, LHI & GHV Africa) have joined hands to provide emergency relief including access to safe drinking water, in order to prevent illnesses like cholera, providing food and financial assistance to replace belongings lost during the floods, as well as emergency protection services such as assisting children who have lost their families. At least 130.000 people will be supported with such assistance.

The Maiduguri and Jere local government areas were particularly affected: according to the National Emergency Management Agency, over 70% of the residents in Maiduguri were displaced. On the basis of RNA findings, Plan International and CHAD will provide WASH services to respond to the risks of waterborne illnesses and the lack of safe and clean water, multi-purpose cash (MPC) to meet the multisectoral needs caused by the crisis (due to a lack of food but also diverse NFIs where people have lost their belongings), and protection services to respond to the high protection risks identified among in particular the displaced population, including children separated from their families, children unable to attend school, and women/girls at risk of SGBV. Heavy rainfalls are causing severe flooding all across northern Nigeria, so far affecting 31 states and over 1 million individuals. Borno State in the northeast is among the most affected states, with over 414,000 people severely affected, 400,000 people displaced, 37 people reported dead, and 58 people injured. When the recent flash floods broke out in Borno State, northeast Nigeria was already facing an acute food crisis and an ongoing conflict with non-state armed forces. The flash floods in Borno state, caused by heavy rainfalls and aggravated by the breaking of the Alau Dam in Konduga Local Government Area (LGA), have caused extensive damage to infrastructure, crops and shelter, severely impacting livelihoods and displacing households. According to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the fast-moving waters submerged over 70% of Maiduguri city. OCHA estimates that over 400,000 people in Borno State were displaced, forcing them to relocate to former and operational IDP camps already housing IDPs. Former and operational IDPs camps quickly reached full-capacity, unable to provide safe-drinking water, food, and basic NFIs to recently displaced populations. When the Alau Dam was breached in the night of 9-10 September, eventually displacing at least 400,000 people according to OCHA, Plan Nigeria was just conducting an RNA to respond to floods further south. The scope was immediately adjusted, and an extensive RNA was completed between 12th and 15th September in the affected areas of MMC, Jere and Mafa. Individuals included in Plan’s RNA had within days already been relocated across former and active IDP camps throughout the three LGAs, including the Teacher's Village Camp (TVC) and Bakassi camp. The government now aims to close all ‘former’ camps in the next few weeks, thus returning flood-affected people to their communities, despite Plan’s RNA finding that WASH facilities are poor both in the targeted IDP camps and within communities, where sanitation systems have been damaged, putting populations at high risk of waterborne illnesses. Access to food is extremely limited, with the main market in the LGAs (Monday Market) interrupted in an already acute food crisis. The sudden displacement has left women, girls and boys in a particularly dire situation, with heightened risks of psychological distress, SEA, and GBV, as well as separation from family members. The project will prioritize vulnerable groups in the flood-affected communities, including female and child headed households, separated and unaccompanied children, women, children and adolescents with special needs, women, children and adolescents at risk of abuse, exploitation and GBV, and IDPs. CHAD and Plan aim to respond to the most pressing needs identified in the RNAs by focusing on three sectoral priorities: WASH services, multipurpose cash assistance (MPC) and protection services. These interventions have been designed in coordination with local and other JR partners. CHAD will focus on providing WASH services to affected communities, including hygiene promotion, distribution of aquatabs, water trucking, and rehabilitation of water points. They will also distribute WASH and dignity kits and provide sensitisation and awareness through mass communication, WASH committees and hygiene promoters. These activities will improve access to safe drinking water, improve hygiene and sanitary conditions in the camp and reduce the risk of disease outbreak. About 2625 HH (21,000 individuals) will be reached with these services, and they will complement CARE’s FSL/Nutrition intervention in the same locations. Plan will provide monthly MPC over a 3-month period to 900 vulnerable households (7,200 individuals) to improve the nutritional status of households, particularly children under-5, pregnant and lactating women and the elderly, and to allow HHs to replace key lost assets. MPC is best suited for this crisis to stimulate markets and provide households the opportunity to utilise the resources based on needs. The monthly amount of 69,312 Naira is aligned to the local CWG. The project will target displaced people with protection services including identification, documentation and reunification of UASC, case management services and PSS, focussing on Child Protection to complement CARE’s SGBV intervention. As a whole, the project will provide a rapid, lifesaving first response within days while at the same time adding a modest (and low-cost) element to prevent as much as possible physical and psychological short- and long-term harm. The project will be implemented through direct implementation and local partner sub-granting. Local partner CHAD will be in charge of the WASH activities, although in close collaboration with Plan Nigeria, who will provide extensive capacity building. At this stage, CHAD is planned to receive 26% of the budget, below the 35% target due to the for-now limited capacities of CHAD. This nevertheless contributes strongly to the DRA’s localisation principles as Plan aims to build the capacity of grassroots women-led organisations, which remain rare in Nigeria. CHAD will thus see their annual portfolio doubled by this project and may receive more funding depending on the progress of implementation. Plan and CHAD have collaborated before, and due diligence was completed in advance. CHAD was involved in the design and will be supported through trainings, close monitoring and face-to-face support of its local staff. Plan’s role will thus be (continued) capacity building but also the rapid rollout of its own activities (Protection and MPC). To promote complementarity, Plan Nigeria coordinated with IFRC, JDF and CARE as well as within the existing coordination mechanisms. Plan will complement CARE’s GBV intervention in Teacher’s Village Camp by providing Child Protection in those same locations, as well as in Bakassi, other camps and in the communities, while also complementing CARE’s FSL and nutrition activities in MMC and Jere through WASH activities in the same locations.

NL-KVK-41198890-CHN100308 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY - Youth unemployment is a serious issue in China. Every year more young people enter the labour market without the right preparation, some without completing high school or even the nine-year compulsory education. Youth are migrating from rural to urban areas seeking for employment. Many end up as migrant workers in labour-intensive industries, often subject to poor working conditions, job insecurity and low pay, facing socio-economic difficulties, insecurity and discrimination. The overall objective is that vulnerable youth in rural Shaanxi Province, especially young women aged 16-29, are able to engage in decent work of their choosing either through wage employment or self-employment. They will have gained market-driven, quality and relevant skills and capabilities and pursue opportunities for decent work of their choosing in an era of digital and green economy transition. Youth unemployment is a serious issue in China. Every year more young people enter the labour market without the right preparation, some without completing high school or even the nine-year compulsory education. Youth are migrating from rural to urban areas seeking for employment. Many end up as migrant workers in labour-intensive industries, often subject to poor working conditions, job insecurity and low pay, facing socio-economic difficulties, insecurity and discrimination. Resource-intensive traditional job opportunities are replaced with new jobs in the green and digital economy, which demands a new set of skills. Youth need next-generation soft skills and vocational skills to succeed in the labour market. Traditional education in China does not offer soft skills such as goal setting, problem solving, digital literacy, green citizenship and gender awareness, so limiting potential for career development, especially among young women. COVID-19 exacerbated the development gap between rural and urban areas. To build back better, there is a need to strengthen the resilience and vocational skills of marginalized migrant youth so they can find sustainable work opportunities in an era of digital and green economy transition. The overall objective is to reach full social and economic potential of vulnerable youth in Shaanxi Province, particularly for women, through supporting them to engage in decent work. The overall objective directly contributes to the Sustainable Development Goal on poverty, quality education, gender equality, and decent work and economic growth. Specifically, by the end of June 2024, 750 vulnerable youth from Plan International China’s rural program areas in Shaanxi, especially young women aged 16-29, have gained market-driven, quality and relevant skills and capabilities, and pursue opportunities for decent work of their choosing in an era of digital and green economy transition. Vulnerable youth, especially young women, will build on and develop their vocational skills for wage or self-employment opportunities, as well as their resilience skills to adapt to the changing world of work and contribute to their societies. They will be supported to transit to work smoothly through strengthened services within 6 months after their graduation. The project aims to create a sustainable ecosystem for youth employment in a more gender-responsive and youth-friendly environment among youth, vocational training institutes and employers. The project adopt the Livelihood Advancement Business School (LABS) Model, covering the cycle of a job value chain including 8 steps: market scan, curriculum development/improvement, mobilization and recruitment, life skills, technical training, work readiness training, job placement, counselling and post placement survey. The LABS model has been contextualized together with vocational training institutions, private sector partners and local relevant governmental partners. Next to market relevant vocational skills, the vulnerable youth will be equipped with next generation skills, enabling them to adopt a positive attitude and address the issues and problems faced in their daily lives, becoming more resilient in the future world of work, in addition to meeting job requirement. There is a strong focus on challenges faced by young women and addressing their skills gaps in employment. Content and methodologies of relevant trainings will be gender-responsive, and gender awareness raising among all stakeholders is key. Next to that, gender-responsive standards/policies will be developed together with private sector partners aiming to promote an enabling environment for young women to access decent work opportunities. The beneficiaries of the project are vulnerable youth aged 16-29, who are from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds in rural Shaanxi Province and who have migrated to cities seeking for employment. 80% of them will be female youth, who are more vulnerable to exploitation and gender-based violence in the cities. Result 1: 750 vulnerable youth, especially young women, build on and develop their vocational skills for wage or self-employment opportunities. * Conducting a market scan and gender analysis to identify local employment opportunities, employer's needs and the needs of young women and men. * Based on the results of market scan and wider stakeholder consultations market-relevant vocational skills training courses will be identified, and curriculums will be developed or improved. * Mobilizing vulnerable youth in targeted communities will be conducted online and offline together with relevant stakeholders such as government departments, youth organizations, vocational training and education institutes and social organizations. * Then vocational skills training will be given to all selected youth. * Based on personal career interests and planning, youth will also be supported in entrepreneurial skills training. Result 2: 750 vulnerable youth, especially young women, have built their resilience skills to adapt to the changing world of work and contribute to their societies. * Enriching the next-generation skills curriculum package, that contains life skills training and work readiness training, to include also green citizenship and digital skills. * Providing next-generation skills curriculum training to trainers for formal or informal vocational training and education institutes. * All selected youth will receive next-generation skills training. Result 3: 638 (85% of 750) vulnerable youth, especially young women, are able to transit to work smoothly through strengthened services within 6 months after their graduation. * Providing job placement service to all graduates after completing training. * Providing post placement services and career mentoring to all graduates within six months after training completion. Result 4: Sustainable ecosystem is created for youth employment in a more gender-responsive and youth-friendly environment among youth, vocational training institutes and employers. * Developing project advocacy and communications products conveying key messages on gender equality and the importance of supporting vulnerable young women’s skills building and career development to be shared among different stakeholders. * Awareness raising among communities and the general public to support vulnerable young women to engage in skills building and career development * Setting up youth and gender friendly employer’s network to provide apprenticeship and employment opportunities for vulnerable youth. * Setting up alumni network to promote peer to peer support and deliver more follow-up services and guidance through online and offline alumni activities. * Inviting successful female role models with decent work to share experiences and provide mentoring services (either face-to-face or online) through employee engagement activities during the training of selected vulnerable youth. * Capacity building for formal/informal vocational training institutions to provide better support to vulnerable youth in need. * Supporting model employers with technical advice on how to establish green, gender-responsive and youth-friendly workplaces. * Conducting case studies to collect evidence to demonstrate good practices, achievements and impact of the project LABS Model for the benefit of vulnerable young women and men. * Organizing advocacy event with stakeholders to promote project interventions and experiences for further replication of the enriched LABS model. Plan International will improve the LABS approach to ensure market relevant skills training for marginalized youth and to enable a better transition from school to workplace under decent conditions. We aim at integrating next-generation skills package and establishing gender responsive learning environment in selected training institutes as well as in other public training institutes and colleges. Partnership with Women’s Federation at County, City and Provincial level is key for sustainability and scalability. Through capacity building, they will gain skills and capacity to implement and replicate the LABS approach in their areas and beyond. An alumni network and a youth & gender friendly employer network will be established to facilitate continuous support to selected youth and vocational training institutions through each phase of the LABS approach. The networks will become part of a functional and sustainable ecosystem. The contextualized LABS guidelines will be provided to all training partners, employers, social organizations and government agencies to support further safeguarding and improvement of marginalized young women and men’s right to quality and relevant vocational education and decent work opportunities.

The She Leads consortium brings together child rights organisations, feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups and aims to increase sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. The long-term aim (impact) of She Leads is that GYW’s perspectives are included in gender responsive laws and policies and societal norms and practices. The strategic objective is to increase the sustained influence of GYW on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions. Central to the She Leads programme is the enhancement of collective action of girls and young women in a gender-responsive civil society (civil society domain), support by increased acceptance of positive social gender norms (socio-cultural domain) and by enabling meaningful participation of girls and young women in decision-making by political institutions (institutional domain). Girls and young women (age 14 till 24) are the primary target group of the She Leads programme. Especially those that experience intersecting forms of discrimination and exclusion such as GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums, GYW experiencing GBV, GYW with different abilities, GYW who are out of school, GYW from sexual minority groups and refugees and internally displaced GYW. In addition, the programme works closely with CSO organisations and networks, (representatives of) formal institutions and community members and leaders.

Plan International Netherlands, SOS Child Villages and ZOA have joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance. Plan will respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North Darfur, South Kordofan and Khartoum through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2022-2023. A total of 94.755 affected people across the states of North Darfur, South Kordofan and Khartoum will benefit from activities providing multi-sectoral assistance in the Protection, Health and Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL) sectors. The project targets the most vulnerable and conflict affected people including (refugees, host, IDP) women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities. The C-19 pandemic combined with conflict and extreme weather is causing high food insecurity rates in Sudan. A contributing factor is the economic crisis in the country with an inflation rate of 412.75% per June ‘21. This reality adds more pressure to people (in need), who are struggling to meet their basic needs. They are increasingly becoming unable to afford basic food and services, as prices have increased by 400%. Based on the IPC (2021), 9.8M people in Sudan are experiencing crisis or worse levels of food insecurity (IPC level 3+) between June - September ‘21. Boys and girls in Sudan continue to be at risk of multiple forms of violence. Out of 2.6M children in need, +- 1 million (51%F) are IDPs, 285,000 (55%F) returnees, and 1.2 million (52%F) are vulnerable children from host communities. GBV is a key concern, especially among women & girls in IDP and refugee communities; incl. gang rape, abduction, physical assault, harassment, humiliation. In 2020 57% health was in the top of 7 self-reported priority needs (MNA report). HHs that attempted to access health care reported barriers to accessing health care including: Lack of medicine at health facilities, cost of services and/or medicine was too high/cannot afford to pay. The JR4 project will ensure that vulnerable households, particularly those with at risk adolescents and young women, have increased access to vocational and business development opportunities. Through this it is envisaged that the wellbeing of vulnerable youth and adolescents, is improved and participants are able to engage, create and sustain livelihoods and mitigate risks. Also, through the JR access to food security will be increased through climate adapted agriculture among vulnerable farmers. Within the project children’s resilience will be enhanced through strengthening protective environment for girls, boys and adolescents in all project areas by strengthening the knowledge/skills of boys & girls, to help and protect themselves during risks & hazards. Parents and caregivers will be engaged to support this outcome. Case management will be conducted for vulnerable children. JR4 will link to the health sector SO 1: Increase equitable access to humanitarian lifesaving and life-sustaining basic health services for those residing in high-risk areas and vulnerable population groups & SO 3: Strengthen health system capacity to enhance vulnerable groups and communities resilience to absorb and respond to shocks. This project builds and expands on its interventions conducted in prior JR’s. ASSIST and CAFA will continue their work in South Kordofan and Khartoum and FPDO will be added as a partner within the consortium. ERRADA, also a former JR partner is now subcontracted by Plan. - As in previous years, Plan will partner with ASSIST in South Kordofan, implementing key aspects of the protection intervention. - Plan has an on-going partnership with CAFA in Khartoum state and White Nile refugee response in CP and WASH interventions. CAFA will implement 70% of the planned Livelihoods strengthening activities. - FPDO is a new partner and will conduct activities in North Darfur. FPDO works in peace and development through the implementation of various projects in the areas of Public Health, Peace building, Education, WASH, Food security & Livelihoods and Child Protection. It will implement CP and FSL/Peace building activities, as well as FSL activities such as the establishment of VSLAs, Business and Vocational Training and Peacebuilding. - ERRADA will focus on Health activities by implementing GBV/Health services, complementary to Plan’s and SOS’ protection activities in Khartoum to ensure sustainable referrals for GBV cases. This project will target IDPs and communities in need in Khartoum, South Kordofan, and North Darfur with comprehensive Protection (CP, GBV, and Peacebuilding), FSL, and Health activities. This project will target 22,603 people (4981 girls, 5219 boys, 6568 women, and 5835 men). In particular, Protection Outcome 1 is designed to improve social cohesion through the formation of life skills groups for adolescents, parenting groups, and platforms for adolescents to engage in and advocate for change and peace. These activities will help adolescents function better and provide them with productive outlets to improve their communities and lives. Furthermore, the life skills sessions will include sessions on DRR. Parenting sessions will provide parents who are struggling with tools to care for their children in a positive and productive fashion. Together these activities will bring generations together and form structures that the community will continue to utilize even after the project has finished. Protection Outcomes 2 and 3 increase resilience by strengthening both institutional and communal protection structures through training (CSO staff, duty bearers, social workers, case workers), the formation of CBCPNs, awareness raising, the rehabilitation of essential communal centers, supporting the creation of linkages between actors, and updating and improving child protection and GBV referral mechanisms. Furthermore, it provides case management services as well as cash support to them and their families to the most vulnerable children in the communities thereby increasing the resilience of the least resilient community members. The FSL package is designed to increase the resilience of more urban communities and individuals by providing vocational training and start up kits as well as training on business management and cash grants for declined businesses. It also provides a comprehensive agricultural package for rural communities designed increased to food security through climate-adapted agriculture among vulnerable farmers, particularly women. Further, it fosters communal cohesion through the formation of communal structures for herd management, seed storage, and disaster preparedness. It also aims to build the capacity of duty bearers from the government, NGOs, and communities to strengthen participatory processes. Through Protection Outcome 4, the project will build social cohesion ad promote peacebuilding between conflicting tribes and communities (nomads and farmers). This will be accomplished through the formation of joint peace committees as well as Community-Based Peace Building & Conflict Resolution Mechanisms, which will include adolescent, youth, and young women representatives. The purpose of the committees are to act as fair bodies where communities as a whole as well as individuals can come and seek to solve issues in a peaceful manner. Committee members will take part in training on conflict analysis, mediation, and conflict resolution. The project will also facilitate intercommunal dialogues for community-to-community peace engagement, which will build trust between communities as well as in the structures formed to facilitate peaceful resolutions. Furthermore, this project will promote and organize youth driven initiatives for peacebuilding as well as cultural and sports tournaments that aim to create peace between conflicting communities. Through these activities the project will create sustainable communal capacities, structures, and mechanisms that will continue to exist and function even after the project has ended. This includes building on the innovation B-Ready climate monitoring system at community level as well capacities within the meteorology department. The process enhances the prevention and risk reduction aspects related to common disasters related to climate change. The project also works in close coordination with the line ministries on protection, food security aligned to their sector strategies and plans. The two year cycle aids in ensuring more sustainable programming and allows for the implementation of a more comprehensive package. Within the Health sector, the project will support the provision of SRHR Services in two clinics in Khartoum state. The services will be comprehensive and include: the provision of antenatal care, clean & safe delivery attended by trained midwives, post-natal care and family planning, treatment and counselling for STIs, counselling for survivors (victims) of GBV, follow up of nutrition status of PLW and provide referral service (GBV & Nutrition) whenever it is needed. Raising awareness on GBV & SRHRs will include provision of comprehensive sexual education (CSE) for young girls and women using national and plan international manuals and guidelines. All activities will be conducted with follow up the precaution measures from C-19, and during the implementation of each activities Plan will distribute PPE.

It aims to provide CPiE and EiE for vulnerable South Sudanese refugee children in 4 camps. To improve attendance, address retention and learning outcomes, the Action addresses barriers to access education, ensuring the safety of children in and on the way to school. The action will also focus on CP services and system strengthening. PIE will enhance access to these services for refugee children, including PSS, in a safe and protective environment. CPiE will be provided through a number of complementary interventions. Additionally, the action addresses needs of IDPs and conflict-affected populations in Metekel. Ongoing conflict caused massive destruction, which disrupted schools while children and adolescents, especially girls, also reported trauma and are in dire need of protection services, including multipurpose cash assistance to meet their basic food needs. Ethiopia is dealing with large numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons, in addition to recurring climate-induced disasters (droughts and floods). UNHCR (May 2021) reported that there are 806,541 refugees (65% children) including 372,067 from South Sudan; the majority of them being hosted in Gambella. The influx of refugees from South Sudan has continued throughout 20/21, with a total of 8,220 refugees registered at Pagak reception center, of whom 7,824 were relocated to Nguennyel refugee camp (Gambella). To release the pressure on Gambella, more and more refugees have been relocated to Benishangul-Gumuz. Although increasing influx is expected to persist, the Regional Refugee Response Plan is severely underfunded. This deficit has a direct impact on the delivery of assistance to at-risk population, including unaccompanied and separated children, female-headed households, survivors and at-risk children of different forms of abuse, violence, neglect and exploitation. The high number of vulnerable children, coupled with the deterioration of the context due to Covid-19, flood disasters, and the current crises in Ethiopia, place CPiE and EiE as high priorities in both Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz response programs. The principal objective of this Action is to improve the wellbeing of refugee girls and boys through integrated education and child protection intervention in Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz Refugee settings, and conflict-affected IDP and host communities in Metekel zone. Specifically, this will be achieved by providing quality child protection and primary education to children in South Sudanese refugee Camps (Nguenyyiel, Kule camps in Gambella and Tsore and Gure Shembolla camps in Benishangul-Gumuz) and IDP settings (Mandura, Dangur, Dibatie woredas in Metekel zone of Benishangul-Gumuz) while ensuring wellbeing through safety and quality learning opportunities. The Action benefits from existing cooperation modalities, built during the 6 previous ECHO projects. Plan contributes to the UNHCR led Best Interest Determination (BID) panel. Plan facilitates the process across the camps through its Child Protection Information Management System (CPIMS), which links with UNICEF and Save the Children. Plan cooperates with ICRC for cross-border tracing and feeds information into the East Africa Regional database. Plan has a role in the facilitation of in-country tracing. Plan conducts adult and/or child verification upon request from the UNHCR regional office and the Protection working group in Gambella. The Action benefits from the cooperation with UNICEF with regard to guidance on the quality provision of psychosocial support to girls and boys in Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and schools. The EiE component targets children (focus on girls) including children with disabilities between the age of 7 to 14. Other direct beneficiaries include: (foster) parents/caregivers, community groups, teachers, assistant teachers, mothers in school, PTA members and incentive workers. The main target group for CP activities are: - Separated children: separated from both parents/from their previous legal or customary primary care-giver/other adult family members. - UASC: separated from both parents/relatives. - Other children at risk: children with specific protection risks (non-unaccompanied and separated children). - Children at risk of separation from their family/foster care in the case of abandonment. Plan will provide safe access to primary education in an inclusive environment through the following activities: 1. Train and coach national teachers, incentive teachers and assistant teachers to improve educational outcomes in Nguenyyiel and Gure-Shembolla refugee camps. 2. Construct and furnish disability friendly primary school blocks, WASH facilities, VIP latrines to improve teaching and learning 3. Recruit and retain sufficient and qualified monthly incentive workers 4. Procure and provision of school supplies and scholastic materials 5. Organize Awareness-Raising campaign on the importance of education, with emphasis on Girls’ education in Nguenyyiel and Gure Shembolla refugee camps 6. Support and strengthen school co-curricular activities 7. Support and strengthen school based community structures 8. Support and strengthen PSS and CP referral pathway in schools 9. Establish functional MHM rooms and distribute locally-made sanitary pads 10. Provision of PHESA, GIE, training for other partner organization for three days CPiE activities will focus on: 1. Conduct community-led risk assessments 2. Build the capacity of staff and foster families to enhance service quality and promote protective environment 3. Provide incentives to staff 4. Maintain and rehabilitate CFS and YFS to promote children and adolescents' wellbeing, construct Tukls in YFS to promote community dialogue 5. Provide direct assistance to vulnerable boys and girls and foster families 6. Strengthen protection mechanisms through enhanced CPiMS, referral coordination and enhanced support-distance monitoring 7. Support and strengthen community-based child protection mechanisms to prevent and respond to child protection risks 8. Empower adolescent girls and boys to promote decision making and positive interaction In order to guarantee a sustainable delivery of assistance, Plan International maintains a well-functioning organizational set-up in the target areas. The regional office in Gambella with 78 national staff and Assosa with 35 staff (in Benishangul-Gumuz) ensure that the support to refugees in both areas is of high quality. In addition, PI has more than 500 incentive refugee teachers, case workers and social workers. Project staff involved in the response are trained in CPiE, EiE, child rights, PI code of conduct, child safeguarding policies, SGBV, Gender equality, Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, Project Management and Safety and Security. Regular coaching and mentoring is also provided to national staff, incentive workers and community structure members to strengthen the ownership and sustainability of the project. PIE has good relationships with relevant government bodies and is an active member of several clusters and co-chairing the PSEA networking group in Gambella, ensuring complementarities and a smooth continuation of the response. PIE is well placed to sustain CPiE and EiE for current and new-influxes, while making full use of experiences, organizational set-up and investments already done in infrastructure.

NL-KVK-41198890-GHA100266 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In Ghana, girls and young women (GYW), particularly GYW from socially excluded and exploited groups, are denied the opportunity to voice their interests and to participate in decision-making processes. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands. In Ghana, Plan International Ghana, DCI Ghana and FEMNET partners GenCed and WAN will implement the programme. They will bring together child and women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups with the aim to increase sustained influence of GYW on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms. Civil society partners are SONGTABA, CARD, RRIG and EWEF. The programme will cover the Ashanti, Central, Greater Accra, Northern, Upper West and Upper East regions. Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. In Ghana, the programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020). FEMNET and DCI-ECPAT are network organisations, and will be working in all countries through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. In Ghana, the consortium will continue its collaboration with the Dutch Embassy. Furthermore, She Leads will seek alignment and collaboration with other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortia funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism and the consortia operating under the Power of Women funding mechanism. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups To facilitate the change process towards the She Leads’ strategic objective, consortium members and partners have opted to implement the following mix of strategies and actions: 1. Funding and resourcing of girl-led/young feminist organising, collective action and activism: building upon experiences of FEMNET and Plan International, we will co-design, test and adapt flexible, grant-making mechanisms with and for girl-led groups fitting their needs and characteristics. Flexible, core funding will be combined with capacity support actions addressing GYW-led group’s (advocacy) priorities and with protective measures to generate safe spaces for girls’ political empowerment. Contractual partnerships with GYW-led organisations will be established, a tailor-made and youth-led/-friendly approach to capacity strengthening is used to avoid NGO-isation. Special attention is paid to support GYW’s engagement in governance and leadership positions. 2. For data-driven and evidence-based advocacy & research at global level, She Leads will partner with Equal Measures 2030 and GYW to compile and share relevant data about gender equality and progress toward the SDGs for GYW in each She Leads country, leveraging and adapting its tools such as the SDG Gender Index and the Gender Advocates Data hub. These data tools will also directly feed into our monitoring and evaluation through our results framework. It will highlight data on GYW leadership and participation, and expose gaps that hinder understanding, political will and action on these issues. Additionally, countries in collaboration with EM2030 will invest in strengthening capacities of GYW & (feminist) CSOs to generate data and evidence, how to understand and use data visualization and how to communicate or campaign with data. 3. She Leads will catalyse the growth and strength of social movements and collective action to tackle gender inequality, exclusion and injustice towards GYW in all their diversity. The meaningful inclusion of GYW in membership and leadership of (inter)national networks and movements will be key in all countries to accelerate and push for GYW agency, support positive and progressive social and gender norms and system change. Change cannot happen if these movements are not inclusive of GYW that are from marginalized groups. We will create linkages with GYW and existing networks She Leads organisations are members of; we tap, learn and act on the experience of FEMNET member associations in movement building and -leading. Moverover, besides creating new groups of girl activists and advocates, She Leads engages with existing autonomous GYW-led groups, organisations and networks, and treats them as partners rather than beneficiaries. Next to linking GYW-led groups to each other and to broader civil society networks, She Leads also aims to connect women’s rights organisations and child rights organisations to each other as well as to GYW-led groups. This contributes to a broad social movement of diverse CSOs and CBOs aiming to empower and support the leadership and agency of GYW. 4. In different countries and on a global level, She Leads adopts a media influencing and advocacy strategy. Spreading feminist GYW-led stories and demands for social and gender norms change via traditional (TV, Radio) and new media (socials) we target the whole community. (Online) campaigns will be designed to share positive and feminist narratives on GYW from marginalized/minority groups. Apart from influencing via media, several country networks will also invest in influencing and strengthening the capacities of these media to adopt a positive, gender-transformative, and inclusive language and attitude. She Leads acknowledges the powerful position these stakeholders play to create systemic change for gender equality. 5. Advocate for girls’ access to regional and international institutions and human rights mechanisms. She Leads will advocate and facilitate space for GYW to engage and contribute to international accountability processes and human rights mechanisms. She Leads partners will share expertise and use its partners’ networks to bring local/national issues to regional/international fora. 6. Capacity-strengthening support and joint learning between CSOs, girl-led groups, young feminist organisations: In She Leads, each organisation adds value. Capacity strengthening takes place from organisation-to-organisation, country-to-country, region-to-region, local to global and global to local; capacity strengthening will be needs-based and takes various shapes rather than a top-down approach. The COVID-19 situation accelerates and improves our way of working online. It will support innovative ways of online learning, online movement building and digital platforms for exchange and sharing e.g. podcasts, Medium blogposts, WhatsApp & Telegram, Facebook communities. She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented to ensure that achieved results are sustainable: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organizational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

As a result of the MTR, the target for 2025 was increased to 7. 1.The effective implementation of the Right to Information Act allows CSOs and GYWs to get information needed for their advocacy 2. Progressive steps towards the passage of the Affirmative Action Bill: The National Champions of Change of the She Leads Project held a press conference on 12th May 2022 calling for the passage of the Affirmative Action Bill into law after the champions were trained on legal literacy. Following the press conference, the Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament demanded the immediate submission of the Affirmative Action Bill to Parliament in whatever form during Parliamentary sitting on 25th May 2022. Ministry for Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) has resubmitted the Affirmative Action (Gender Equality) Bill to cabinet for consideration on Tuesday, 21st March 2023. Ms Lariba Zuweira Abudu, Minister for MoGCSP shared in a statement that, the resubmission would enable the consideration of the Bill to ensure it was laid before Parliament for approval.

High dominance of traditional and religious beliefs within rural areas promote patriarchal system in leadership and decision-making. With regards to the informal structures of chiefs/elders etc. in Ghana, all of the positions within these structures are traditionally held by men. ‘Queen mothers’ are present, but generally they tend to have less power than their male counterparts. Also ‘Queen mothers’ are not yet accepted as seats in the National House of Chiefs, for example. This points to the differences in norms in male and female leadership. The network achieved its inital target of 6 and based on the MTR recommendation, the She Leads consortium will target 1 bye-law which is to monitor and advocate for the improvement of the educational re-entry policy for girls Several by-laws and practices of queen mother's association, traditional council meetings and community durbars. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 4 CSOs (one second tier partner and 3 GYW-led networks) received capacity support trainings on advocacy and lobbying, Right Based Approach to programing, Media Influencing and Advocacy, Time Diary, Gender Transformative Approach and Marker Tool and leadership and management. These are 4 local and disctrict-level GYW-led groups with a stronger membership base The organizations which were considered as the target for 2022, were erroneously included in this indicator as they are no first or second tier organizations. The second tier partner CARD however has gained more 'representational ability'. CARD enhanced the representation of GYW by creating specific spaces for GYWs living with disability to speak out. As a result, the She Leads GYW club at the WA Methodist school for the blind launched an advocacy campaign dubbed “zero taxes on sanitary pads” calling on the government to scrap taxes placed on sanitary pads. CARD's ability to represent GYW constituency CARD has joined larger women's rights networks like NETRIGHT and WILDAF. They have successfully mobilized individuals and informal groups to establish the Upper West chapter of a social movement. Additionally, they are able provide financial support to these groups and oversee the implementation of their initiatives. CARD has grown stronger in representing GYW. CARD is led by a young woman and in 2024 added a new member (volunteer of the organization) to its organizational decision-making structure. At the level of the GYW-led supported groups, there is moderate increase in their membership base. CARD's ability to enhance the representation of constituencies has been reported in previous years. CARD managed to enhance the representation of constituencies (output has been reported in previous years). Linda was selected as the member of the Eu sounding board. She will alongside 19 other young people co-create mechanism, offer innovative ideas, valide ideas and policies on EU supported programmes in Ghana. Shamira was sworn in as the Speaker of the Upper West region regioanl parliament where she will preside of deliberations of youth development. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Plan International Ghana has strengthened its capacity to include more GYW-led groups into the She Leads programme and into its overall organizational structure Plan International Ghana's ability to represent GYW has been reported in 2021 Further increase in Plan Ghana's ability to include youth-led representation into its own governance Plan International Ghana instituted the youth Advisory panel which is composed of 4 GYW and 3 boys in the Sourthern Programme and Influencing Area (PIA) The panel is involved in decision making at PIA levels. They led in activities of Sexual and Gender Based violence (SGBV). Also they have made significant inputs into the Country Office budgeting for FY24-FY25. Plan International Ghana's enhanced role of representing GYW has been reported in previous years of the She Leads implementation. Plan International Ghana managed to strengthen youth representation and participation in its own governance through the creation of the Youth Advisory Panel and the Alumni Network. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Of the two targeted youth-led CSOs, one (the Plan Alumni Network) succeeded to expand its membership base The target refers to the Alumni network of Plan Ghana In setting the target, we erroneously included an organization which is not a formally contract (tier 2) partner organization. Therefore, At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Capacity strengthening support provided to two CSOs involved in the programme (Songtaba and WILDAF) on youth engagement, communication and Reporting FOSDA is a women-led NGO using participatory and inclusive approach capturing the voices of the groups, communities, institutions, individuals and various partners. In setting this target, we erroneously included a civil society partner which is not formally contracted as a She Leads partner organization. Therefore, the initially set target for this indicator, has lost its relevance. The ability of SONGTABA to effectively represent GYW in policy and decision-making processes A young woman (She Leads advocate) is now serving as a board member of Songtaba. As a member of the highest decision making body of the organization, she contributes the perspectives of young people in decision making. She was nominated by the board to represent a panel for job interview for Songtaba. She delivered a speech on behalf of the Executive Director of Songtaba on the International Day of the Girl urging girls to prioritize their studies and aim for leadership positions in schools and in the community. Also, she has access to the financial management reports of the organisation. SONGTABA's strengthened role in representing GYW has been reported during previous years of She Leads implementation. Increased constituency of SONGTABA has been reported in previous years. In 2025, the organization has significantly contributed to the development of the social movement led by GYW at regional as well national level. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 CARD's capacity strengthening process is expected to lead to positive results during the course of 2023 The organizational capacity strengthening of CARD as a GYW-led CSO advocating for the rights and agency of girls and young women CARD has demonstrated an increase in its organizational capacity across several key areas: Strategic Partnerships: CARD is fostering stronger partnerships with like-minded CSOs such as Curious Minds and Youth Parliament, enhancing their collaborative efforts in advancing shared objectives. Joint Activities with Government Agencies: They have facilitated joint activities with the National Youth Authority (NYA), with NYA contributing funds towards the commemoration of International Youth Day—an uncommon occurrence. Innovative Projects: CARD collaborates with the Department of Gender on an innovation project known as the "sanitary pad bank," aimed at addressing the challenges faced by girls with disabilities. Media Engagement: Through effective collaboration with media outlets, CARD is amplifying the voices, agency, and leadership of Girls and Young Women in the Upper West region. They get free airtime from media houses in the region to promote She Leads agenda. Evidence-based advocacy: CARD has also shown an enhanced capacity to conduct evidence-based advocacy using the time diary tool. They used the time diary tool to collect, analysis, and utilized results to advocate for social norm change in the communities. Plan International Ghana provided capacity building for partners on fraud awareness. The training enhanced capacity of partners to recognize financial practices that constitute fraud whilst putting in measures to avoid such practices and improve financial compliance of partners. The informal (tier 3) GYW led groups supported by She Leads, strengthened their capacities in Lobbying, Gender-Based Violence, Feminism, Safeguarding of children and young people, lobby and advocacy, local resource mobilization and fundraising. Continuous support was given to expand the capacity of CARD. In addition, Existing GYW groups also participated in such capacity building sessions.

Following Capacity building training for She Leads consortium organizations, partners, She Leads Movement and focal persons members of the Affirmative Action Law Coalition, partners then went on to sensitize communities on the law through radio and television outreaches in North East and Upper West Regions. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Plan Ghana managed to enhance its capacity to effectively advocate for greater girls and young women participation. This is evidenced by: The design and implementation of the media campaign and theme song, She Leads We Gain, leading to an increased movement in promoting GYWs leadership at all levels. The media campaign played a key role in positive portrayal of young female leaders empowered and taking up leadership roles in Senior High schools and tertiary level. The launch of a Youth Resourcing Model: The pilot of the youth financing model named She leads Accelerator Funds has enhanced Plan's capacity towards adopting flexible funding approaches in directly resourcing the advocacy actions of Girls-Led Groups in Ghana. It is expected that in 2023, funds will be disbursed to GYW groups, and an evaluation report will be produced to capture lesson learned. Plan International Ghana's capacity to advance women's rights and gender equality Plan International Ghana's increased capacity has been reported in previous years. During 2023, There has been a further increase in Plan International Ghana's capacity to transition non legally registered groups to attain legal status and advance funds to them in Greater Accra, Ashanti, Central and Northern Regions. Plan International Ghana's enhanced capacity to advance women's rights and gender equality has been reported in previous years. Plan International Ghana's strengthened capacity to support GYW-led organizations has been reported in previous years. The organization has further developed its ability to provide more flexible funding to GYW-led partners and to develop equal partnership relations At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Training and coaching support to CSO partner Songtaba (on rights-based programming, gender transformative approaches and feminism) has increased Songtaba's capacity to effectively influence and advocate for girls and young women's rights SONGTABA capacity development has been reported in 2021. Songtaba increased capacity has been reported in previous years. The strength of SONGTABA is also demonstrated by their work as the focal representative of the Affirmative Action Bill Coalition in the Northern zone facilitating information sharing with other CSOs on the bill. Plan International Ghana continued its partnership with SONGTABA in 2024. Plan provided capacity building on fraud awareness. The training enhanced capacity to recognize financial practices that constitute fraud whilst putting in measures to avoid such practices and improve financial compliance of partners. SONGTABA managed to improve its financial operations, compliance and project implementation. Continuous support to SONGTABA's capacity strengtening, especially in the role of supporting the social movement led by girls and young women NL-KVK-41198890-KEN100353 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In Kenya, girls and young women, particularly GYW from socially excluded and exploited groups, are denied the opportunity to voice their interests and to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes. While Kenya has made impressive strides in, for example, GYW’s access to education and the introduction of new laws against GBV, their socio-political participation continues to be much lower than that of boys and young men. Within the population of girls and young women (between age 14 till 24 years of age), there are specific groups of GYW in She Leads countries who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In Kenya, She Leads members FEMNET, DCI-ECPAT, TdH and Plan will be implementing. Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. In Kenya, the programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020). FEMNET and DCI-ECPAT are network organisations, and will be working in all countries through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International and Terre des Hommes will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. Finally, She Leads will seek alignment and collaboration with the Dutch Embassy and other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortiums funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Plan International supports 22 informal GYW-led groups (so called third tier partners) Signs of increasing capacity of the informal GYW-led groups (third tier partners) are being reported in the narrative annual report of She Leads. Plan International supported Pamoja CBO to strenghthen their advocacy initiatives especially in conducting direct resourcing for GYW to monitor and execute their advocacy actions. There is a new GYW advocacy group that has been enlisted in She Leads network in Mathare, Nairobi. Jointly with GYW groups, She Leads continues to lobby and advocate for implementation of laws, budgets and policies that advance equality for GYW. Planm Kenya worked with all the 23 groups as broken down. 16 GYW in Kisumu and 7 GYW in Nairobi. Of importance to note is that 22 GYW were already in the program so we only added one extra group in FY 2024. The project did not have any targeted capacity building for organizations within this category. The project has successfully reached all the groups (22) within the network and held conversation around sustainability, safe guarding within the civic space, meaningful participation, SRHR, financial management, entrepreneurship and creating visibility in the civic space, resource mobilization and proposal writing. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Pamoja CBO has incorrectly been labelled as youth led CSO. This has now been corrected (appearing now as a women-led CSO) Plan International targeted the male champions that are within the She Leads programme. However, after the introduction of meaningful youth engagement training for all projects within the organisation, She Leads conducted the training reaching 20 youth-led organizations. The project did not have any targeted capacity building for organizations within this category At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Capacity support has been provided to Plan International Kenya to strenghten its capacity to effectively support GYW-groups and to provide direct financial support. Results are expected to materialize during 2023. There has been an increase in the capacity of Plan International Kenya to deliver programs that are geared towards gender equality and GYW's rights. Frequent training sessions have resulted into a mind shift amongst senior management on building girls adn young women's agency. There is a greater realization for need to invest directly into GYW to support their advocacy work. This has resulted in a greater commitment by the management on resourcing informal girls' group to support their advocacy asks. She Leads programme continued to build the capacity of CSOs within the gender sector working group to advocate for girls and young women rights. The programme has set the GYW agenda hence increasing their visibility, participation and inclusion in government-led process. This is a demonstraion of increased awareness of the rights for both GYW, CSOs and the duty bearers. The project did not have any targeted capacity building for organizations within this category.

At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 During 2022 the She Leads programme put its capacity strengthening focus on the GYW-led groups and organizations (as explained in annex 3 of the She Leads annual report). The capacity strengthening of the CSO partner will be taken up during 2023 Strengthen the organizational capacity of second tier partner Pamoja CBO to support GYW in local level advocacy and movement building As a result of the capacity strengthening support and engagement in the She Leads programme, this partner is now implementing interventions that explicitly tackle the root causes of gender inequality, particularly unequal gender power relations, discriminatory social norms and legislations. They have embraced the concept of working with GYW as partners and not as subjects of aid. Additionally, they are supporting legislation processes aimed at addressing GYW inclusion in decision making and leadership as well as on matters of development at the county level. Jointly with GYW, agitate for implementation of laws, budgets and policies that advance equality for GYW. Plan International supported Pamoja CBO to strenghthen their advocacy initiatives especially in conducting direct resourcing for GYW to monitor and execute their advocacy actions. Pamoja CBO staff continued to be trained on advocacy so that they can continue to implement advocacy initiatives beyond She Leads project At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Through the creation of space spaces and social media trainings, GYW-led groups managed to increase their outreach activities and to engage a larger group of GYW in their area Plan Kenya and Pamoja CBO (the CSO partner) are giving intensive support and accompaniment to 34 GYW-led groups. However, these groups are not contracted as CSO partners. Therefore, they do not classify as second tier organizations. As a result, the value of this indicator is zero. The results (in terms of enhanced representation) achieved by the informal GYW-led groups are reported in annex 3 of the She Leads annual 2022 report. An update on the representational role and ability of the informal GYW-led groups supported by She Leads is presented in the She Leads narrative annual report 2023. The She leads programme increased the representation of GYW in the network by including one GYW group in the period under review. The group (Imarisha) is based in Mathare, Nairobi and comprises of 30 GYW aged between 18-24yrs. They are advocating for the rights of girls and young women on SRHR, GBV and economic empowernment issues. Plan Kenya worked with all the 23 groups as broken down. 16 GYW in Kisumu and 7 GYW in Nairobi. Of importance to note is that 22 GYW were already in the program so we only added one extra group in FY 2024. A total of 4 GYWs were absorbed as staff in the following organisations: HRI-1, CSA-2, Mathare Children Rights and Violence Prevention fund-1 At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 These CSO are part of the SGBV technical working groups in Kisumu and Nairobi Counties and have been trained on how to involve GYW in their lobby and advocacy In setting the targets for this indicator, we included a larger group of CSOs which are influenced by She Leads advocacy. However, these CSOs are not formally contracted CSO partners and hence will not be counted as part of this indicator. This indicator is about Plan International Kenya ability to fulfil its representational role towards the main stakeholders of the She Leads programme: girls and young women Plan International Kenya has continued to evolve as an organization that champions the reights of GYW in all their diversities. To this extent, the organization is seen as an authority when it comes to leading agendas that relate to the empowerment of GYW. Similarly, the organization has demonstrated an inclusive approach that has seen girls and young women in all their diversities (refugees, urban, rural, survivors of SGBV, teenage mothers, disability) become key participants in all their programmes. CSA increased the representation of GYW by employing 4 girls from the She Leads programme as community rovers. n/a SL 2.2 Number of CSOs/CSO networks with increased GYW representation in active membership and/or leadership. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 As a result of the She Leads support to County Technical Working Groups in Kisumu and Nairobi, CSOs working with GYW formed a coalition to create a strong network for lobby and advocacy on issues of GYW leadership and governance. In the measurement of this indicator, we decided to focus only on the (contracted) first and second tier partners. In this case, of the CSO partner Pamoja CBO, we are witnessing a small-scale improvement: Pamoja CBO has committed to work with girls and young women as volunteers and employees in their programs to the extent of budget availability. The gains in organizational representativity achieved by the GYW-led groups and organizations which are supported by She Leads (but are not formally contracted) are reported in annex 3 of She Leads annual report. Pamoja CBO (second tier partner) capacity strengthening has been reported in 2022 Pamoja CBO employed one GYW as the project associate in Jan 20232. The GYW doubles up as the County Lead GYW for Girls and Young Women in Kisumu. By empoying a GYW within their organization, Pamoja CBO has demonstrated that they are becoming a more gender sensitive organization. This has granted the GYW great milestone in regards to gaining legitimacy and credibility within the gender policy space in Kisumu. The GYW have utilized this platform to represent the interest of fellow Girl Advocates during the Gender sector forums and overall there is growing acceptance that the Gender Sector Working Group is a space for girls and young women as well. This is the same CSO that was targeted since year two. Their current characteristics and representation enables the organization to play its role, hence no further changes would be required. However there's need for continued capacity strengthening Plan and Pamoja CBO have been the two organizations targeted to increase the representation of girls and young women in their constituent. Girls and young women remain active members of these two organizations and will be involved in critical processes of project implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Plan International did not bring any other CSOs on board. It continued to work with Pamoja CBO as the key partner. The project has successfully reached all the groups within the network and held conversation around sustainability, safe guarding within the civic space, meaningful participation, SRHR, financial management, entrepreneurship and creating visibility in the civic space, resource mobilization and proposal writing. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Plan and partners conducted series of capacity building with GYW-led groups (life skills sessions, financial literacy, lobby and advocacy and social accountability among others). The sessions have supported GYW to influence at different levels as well as being able to mobilize peers as champions of change. In setting the target on this indicator, we included youth-led CSOs which are not formally contracted partners of the She Leads programme. This was however not a correct interpretation of this indicator. The youth-led groups supported by She Leads (but not formally contracted) are now being reported in annex 3 of the She Leads report. The She Leads programme in Kenya implemented by Plan does not engage a youth-led CSO partner YESAM and Nyalenda Young Turks in Kisumu are youth led organizations that have increased representation of girls and young from the She Leads project by employing one and three girls respectively. n/a # of times that CSOs succeed in creating space for CSO demands and positions on women’s voice, agency, leadership and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere, through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or movement building Opportunities to Support CSOs to enhance the engagement of GYW with formal decision-makers at different levbels and with relevant fora to advocate for the creation of GYWs’ meaningful participation. For the remaining targets, the programme will continue to support the GSWG on its mandate to hold quarterly review and reflection meetings across Nairobi and Kisumu. This will be towards safeguarding these platform as a key space for advocacy work most notably on women issues. Other advocacy platforms to be considered are commemoration of international days e.g IWD and 16days of activism.

GYW have been included in ward development forums eg PMC, however this is largely due to lobbying and advocacy NL-KVK-41198890-ETH102236 Plan International Netherlands Summary Max Foundation and Plan International developed an innovative five-year (2020 – 2025) integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), food and nutrition security programme. The ‘Healthy Village Programme’ aims to reduce stunting and water- and faecal-borne diseases in a sustainable manner and works with the Government of Ethiopia. The Programme is focused on reaching approximately 400,000 people living in poverty, (pregnant and lactating) women, children with a focus on under two, and adolescents as parents of tomorrow who do not have sufficient access to clean water and sanitation, are food insecure and/or have poor nutritional status. Through learning, evidence and engagement with Government, the Healthy Village Programme supports ongoing and emerging programmes, e.g. large-scale government programmes. While we aim for national impact, field implementation will be in four selected woredas of Government of Ethiopia’s Seqota Declaration programme Despite progress, malnutrition remains a major cause of illness and mortality among children under five in Ethiopia. Ethiopia’s national stunting rate has been steadily decreasing over the years and is currently at 37%. Stunting cannot be “treated” and should therefore be prevented continuously throughout the most critical period of human development - the first 1,000 days from conception to a child’s second birthday. During this period, adequate nutrition is essential for healthy physical growth and brain development. Undernutrition can already begin in utero with an undernourished mother who cannot provide her child with sufficient nutrients at the foetal stage. Underweight or stunted women are likely to give birth to underweight or stunted children. Growth faltering in this period will have irreversible consequences (i.e., developmental deficits) for this child later in life. Stunting is an intergenerational problem. Meaningful and adequate nutrition and WASH integration requires a good understanding of the complex causes and determinants of undernutrition. The focus of the sector is shifting from the immediate determinants (e.g. dietary intake) to the underlying causes (e.g. poor WASH, gender inequality) of undernutrition. We assume that by taking into account the WASH and nutrition nexus our long term objective can be achieved: Reduced stunting and incidence of water- and faecal-borne diseases in Ethiopia among children under two years of age. Our vision is that every village in Ethiopia becomes a Healthy Village – enabled via national mainstreaming of the Healthy Village Programme with the Ethiopian government. The Programme consists of three strategies: 1. Healthy Village Implementation: Stimulating demand creation at community level, and gender-transformative behaviour change for better WASH and improved food security and nutrition for child health. 2. Evidence and Learning: Gathering and sharing evidence of integrated WASH & nutrition initiatives such as the Healthy Village approach and farmer technologies to enable replication and scale-up and contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the impact and efficacy of WASH & nutrition initiatives. 3. Engagement: Supporting the Government of Ethiopia to reduce stunting and reach WASH and food & nutrition targets laid out in relevant policies and approaches by engaging with government institutions and structures at national, regional, district and local levels. Max and Plan joined forces to develop this Programme concept for Ethiopia, based on learnings from the Healthy Village approach which Max created in Bangladesh and Plan’s in-country integrated WASH and FNS approach. Specifically for food- and nutrition security, Wageningen Environmental Research (WENR) will be involved as technical partner. We aim to break sector silos of food and nutrition security and WASH to tackle stunting and improve under two child health from more than one angle. We believe it will lead to better results. While many speak about integrated programmes, there are still few practical examples. As an innovative, potentially scalable ‘speedboat’ programme we emphasize evidence and learning and engagement as well as Healthy Village field implementation, aiming for adoption and mainstreaming of our approach’s best practices in ‘tanker’ programmes undertaken by large institutions such as, principally, the Government of Ethiopia (GoE), but also UNICEF and others. Towards this, the Healthy Village Programme is characterised by a strong ‘Evidence & Learning’ and ‘Engagement’ approach, whereby information on what works (evidence) will be actively shared with (engagement) the GoE and other major stakeholders. The Healthy Village Programme aims to reach approximately 327,492 beneficiaries living in poverty, (pregnant and lactating) women, children with a focus on under two, and adolescents as parents of tomorrow who do not have sufficient access to clean water and sanitation, are food insecure and/or have poor nutritional status. 1. Food and Nutrition Security: By promoting (the production of) nutritious food, dietary diversity and improving food storage, the availability and intake of (micronutrient-rich) nutritious food at household and community level will improve. We will include ‘Essential Nutrition Actions’ (ENA) such as improving (breast)feeding and caring practices, food hygiene, homestead, greenhouse and school gardening, entrepreneurs selling nutrition products, and nutrition-sensitive agriculture. Child Growth Monitoring is a key tool in the Healthy Village Programme, providing data to monitor Programme impact on stunting reduction and triggering parents. 2. Hygiene and sanitation: By promoting improved sanitation and hygiene behaviour at community and household level, investments in and proper use of WASH infrastructure will increase. Our approach builds on Community Led Total Sanitation, includes Baby WASH and goes beyond Open Defecation Free to improved sanitation and hygiene. Decreasing water and faecal-oral (both human and animal) contamination will contribute to an improved nutritional status. 3. Water and Multiple Use Systems (MUS): The focus is on water in service of food security. By promoting Multiple Use Systems, the availability of safe water for drinking, domestic needs (personal hygiene) and (small scale) agricultural production, including rearing livestock, will increase. The provision of water close to home will reduce time for fetching water. By addressing the local water value chain, through reusing, recycling and retaining of water (e.g. grey water), water from source to tap and beyond will be valued. 4. Entrepreneurship and Access to Finance: Entrepreneurship for sanitation (latrines, handwashing devices), hygiene (soap, menstrual pads), and nutrition products such as micronutrient-rich foods (vegetables, eggs) will be supported, so that local market supply will increase. Youth employment for new entrepreneurs will be stimulated. Only if finance for entrepreneurs and customers (households, communities) is accessible (through microfinance institutions and Village Saving and Loan Associations (VSLAs), capital investment for WASH and nutrition products and services will increase, so that the increased demand (because of changed behaviour) will be met. Gender: We will work through a Gender Transformative Approach in all Programme elements, based on the assumption that addressing root causes of inequality and discrimination (norms, beliefs) will increase universal access and use of WASH and nutrition services and contribute to greater inclusion in society and benefits beyond WASH and food and nutrition. Including women in decision-making will improve Programme outcomes as well as empower them in the community and households. Current and prospective mothers (women and adolescent girls) and fathers are key to influencing practices that affect child health. Influential community members and traditional leaders must be engaged as well to address gender inequalities and ensure sustainable child health outcomes. Climate Resilience: Droughts, flooding and erratic rainfall are a risk that can lead to lower agricultural production, increased food and nutrition insecurity, and WASH slippage. Climate-proof mitigation and adaptation measures must be taken into account. By building responsiveness of local management and support structures, strengthening local supply and demand, and climate adaptation measures, we will increase the likelihood of climate-sensitive agricultural production and WASH services being sustained. We anticipate that this will improve household and community resilience. The Healthy Village programme includes an Evidence and Learning component in order to gather information about what works in reducing stunting and incidence of water- and faecal-borne diseases in Ethiopia for children under two. The aim of the Evidence and Learning strategy of the Programme is to gather evidence and best practices of concepts (including the Healthy Village concept) in close cooperation with a research partner. In the short term, this information can be used to adapt the Programme where necessary. In the long term, this will ultimately result in capacity strengthening and upscaling within the WASH and nutrition sectors in Ethiopia and beyond. The Evidence and Learning strategy will deliver the content for the communication and capacity development activities developed within our Engagement component. This evidence will be actively shared with the Ethiopian government, existing ‘tanker’ programmes (existing large-scale governmental programmes) like the Seqota Declaration, the One WASH programme, the Multi Sectoral Woreda Transformation Plan, and other major stakeholders so we can all jointly work towards the elimination of stunting and incidence of water- and faecal-borne diseases for children under two years of age. We aim to set a process in motion with engaged stakeholders and systems and encourage replication and expansion to other woredas and regions. Financial: Through strengthening Village Savings and Loans Groups, financial means will be more available in the community for purchase of services and materials. Through a partnership with finance institutions, access to micro-credit for entrepreneurs will be strengthened. Technical: All technical solutions used in this programme respond to people’s demand. We support stakeholders in choosing technical solutions which can be maintained, repaired and replaced easily. Social: In order to achieve lasting social change, we develop interventions that are gender transformative, inclusive, demand-driven, culturally sensitive and needs-based. Environmental: Mainstreaming climate resilience through all programme interventions ensures the approach considers sustainable adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as endeavoring to reduce negative environmental impact. Institutional: Through its close engagement with the Ethiopian government the partners ensure that the programme aligns well with existing government policies and procedures and other stakeholders’ initiatives.

She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In Liberia, Plan International Liberia, Defence for Children Liberia and Community Healthcare Initiative(local member of FEMNET) will implement the programme. They will bring together child rights organisations, feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups with the aim to increase sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in institutions. The programme will be implemented at national level and in Montserrado, Bomi, Lofa and Cape Mount Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. In Liberia, the programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020). FEMNET and DCI-ECPAT are network organisations, and will be working in all countries through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International and Terre des Hommes will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. There is no Dutch Embassy in Liberia but contact will be established with the Embassy in Ghana where needed. Finally, She Leads will seek alignment and collaboration with other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortiums funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism. In line with the Revised National Youth Policy of Liberia (2012-2017), which defines youth as people between the age 15-35,13 the Liberia She Leads programme will engage YW aged 25-35 as it’s secondary target group. This target group has often been left behind. They will be engaged as mentors and role models for the primary target group under the social cultural domain and be supported to engage in communal and traditional leadership structures to amplify the voices of GYW at community level. Although also a target in the first domain the secondary age-group will be mostly active in the institutional domain. The programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups To facilitate the change process towards the She Leads’ strategic objective, consortium members and partners have opted to implement the following mix of strategies and actions: She Leads Liberia will support awareness raising of GYW in community and through print and electronic media, on the negative impact of harmful social norms and practices. At the same time, through consultative meetings with key traditional and religious leaders, She Leads organizations and their implementing partners will influence these leaders to commit to promoting positive gender norms. Through media advocacy, (such as Radio, social media, television) Traditional Leaders, boys and young men, parents and caregivers and community at large will be targeted with awareness messages. They will then be supported mobilized as agents of change and supported to positively influence social and traditional norms by openly speak out against discriminatory norms. She Leads will fund research for evidence based advocacy. Girls and young women, partners and like-minded organizations will be trained on how to conduct evidence based advocacy. She Leads will provide funding to and build capacity of GYW-led organizations to become independent, knowledgeable and support them to conduct their own media advocacy. Girls-led organizations will be trained on how to write proposals to attract funding to keep their organization functional. Girls and young women including Youth-led organization will be trained to review national, regional and international policies, understand and provide their own shadow reports and hold government accountable after the Programme ends. She Leads will also facilitate international learning between different She leads components and l catalyse the growth and strength of social movements and collective action to tackle gender inequality, exclusion and injustice towards GYW in all their diversity. She Leads will support and strengthen networks of GYW-led organization and Child Rights Network coordination meetings at local and National levels to ensure effective collaboration and coordination and inclusion of GYW. GYW including Girls-led/Youth-led organizations will be trained on how to take up their space, deals with risks and identifying allies/networks to join. GYW will be supported to access regional and international spaces to share experiences on lobby and advocacy and to build consortia at international and regional levels. GYW will be supported through mentorship and with like skills training. She leads will also support capacity strengthening of like-minded CSO’s to enable them to accommodate and network with G/YW during and after the Programme. She Leads will use research based advocacy to point out on government performance and integrate GYW voices into national policy/spaces and will push government to implement regional and international documents/ instruments she has committed herself to. She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

However, the contract with SICOE was terminated by Plan due to the limited implementation capacity and concerns about the strength of the administrative systems. Plan International Liberia (first tier), CSI (second tier) and a new CSO partner to be identified Plan International Liberia and CSI are the only two (non-youth or women-led) partners in She Leads Liberia. Plan International Liberia was not able to identify a new CSO partner. It was decided that Plan Liberia would continue to provide support to the informal GYW-led groups and networks (the 'third-tier' partners). Plan International Liberia is one of the adult-led partners in the programme. Plan contracted the new partner UFDUM which is an adult-led organization in Liberia that carters to underage mothers who are disadvantaged by prevailing conditions to face the difficult realities of life in their very genuine early lives. The organization further focuses on supporting and promoting gender equality, and economic empowerment for girls and young women, and actively works to end violence against women. UFDUM replaced SICOE whose contract was not renewed beyond 2022. Plan International Liberia continued to work with Community Safety Initiative (CSI). The three organizations include Plan International Liberia, CSI and UFDUM The adult-led CSO partners during 2025 were Plan International Liberia, UFDUM and CSI in Nimba.

However, She Leads Liberia provides intensive support to the informal GYW-led groups engaged in the programme. Reach and results about these groups are being reported in the narrative annual report. The project had not contracted any youth-led CSO for the project. However, the project has identified likeminded youth lead CSO in the 3rd tier. The She LEADS project identified 20 girls and young women (GYW) led groups as participants, with each group having an average of 15 members. All 20 groups actively participated in the project, with 2 of these groups being replicated and mentored by the GYW. Across the three locations, the project included 2 GYW living with disabilities as participants. Due to the strong network and collaboration among the civil society organizations (CSOs), all 20 groups under She LEADS remained active. The project continued to work with these groups, with a particular focus on registering and legalizing 6 of the 20 groups. Plan International Liberia will support the three implementing partners and three Informal GYW groups (Determine Girls Empowerment Network (DEGEN), Gender Advocacy Program (GAP) and Voice of Plumkor that are currently engaged in the programma. The program did not have direct contracted GYW-led CSO partners. However, Plan International Libera worked and supported 20 GYW led groups (tier 3) across the three project counties. # of times that CSOs succeed in creating space for CSO demands and positions on women’s voice, agency, leadership and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere, through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or movement building at subnational level We identified the need for capacity strengthening of CSOs within and outside the consortium on the issues of GYW representation, lobby and advocacy, anmd capacity to advance women's rights and gender equality.

This is an ongoing process! In the target, other CSOs have been included which are not first nor second tier organizations. The target for this indicator refers to the contracted partner CSI (Community Safety Initiatives). During 2022, the partner benefitted from capacity strengthening support but the effects of the trainings are yet to become visible. Several trainings on gender equality, lobby and advocacy capacity and safeguarding of GYW. Results of capacity strengthening are expected to show off in 2024. The active involvement of partners (including Plan International Liberia) in the MTR process, has generated new insights and lessons learned about effective ways of doing advocacy for and by GYW in Liberia. Plan International Liberia (PIL) strengthened the capacity of its long-standing partner, Community Safety Initiative (CSI). These trainings focused on safeguarding practices, KOBO data collection, and reporting. As a result, CSI has enhanced its ability to protect vulnerable populations, efficiently collect and manage data, and accurately report its activities and outcomes. Plan International Liberia will provide capacity strengthening support for UFDUM and CSI As a result of the capacity support provided by She Leads, the two adult-led partners of Plan International Liberia managed to increase their capacity to advance women's rights and gender equality At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Plan Liberia does not work directly with contracted girls and young women-led CSOs. However, during 2024 the She LEADS project provided training to six previously engaged girls and young women (GYW) led groups and introduced two new groups to the program. The training focused on data collection tools, leadership development, and mentorship. This capacity strengthening aimed to align their activities with the project's Theory of Change and enhance their ability to disaggregate data by age and identify different stakeholders reached during their engagements. Plan International Liberia (PIL) also continued to offer informal leadership capacity strengthening for the 20 GYW-led groups. As a result of the trainings the groups improved their data management and reporting capabilities, allowing them to track their engagement more effectively. They restructured their activities to better align with the project's goals and Theory of Change. As a result of their enhanced skills, these girls were hired by civil society organizations (CSOs) to collect information on the project's outcomes and impact using KOBO Collect. This demonstrated their ability to take on more responsibilities and the successful replication of activities through mentoring. PIL will enhance the capacity of 12 GYW-led groups in record-keeping, stakeholder engagement techniques and networking. 3 out of the 12 GYW (Determine Girls Empowerment Network-DEGEN, Girls Advocacy Program, and Voice (GAP) plus one group that will be identified will receive additional training in activity plan development and fundraising for the sustainability of the project. These 3 groups will receive funds as a start-up to enhance their capacity. Additionally, Plan International and its Implementing Partners will build the Capacity of three GYW-led groups one group per county on the National Youth policy. The group will replicate the information to the rest of the GYW-led groups in the project location. Plan and its implementing partners engaged and worked with 22 girl- and young women–led groups (Tier 3), strengthening their capacity to advocate for gender equality. Through project-supported awareness-raising activities, these groups helped to advance girls’ and women’s rights and promote gender equality within their communities. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 One of the implementing partners is women led Basic capacity training done(financial management, M&E etc) but we can not say that the organization's capacity to advance women's right has increased. This is an ongoing process! In 2022, Plan International Liberia did not target any formal capacity building training for its contracted women lead Organization. However, as part of the annual planning process, a two-day formal training on data collection and data source verification was conducted for fifteen consortium members including KEEP. It is still too early to evidence the effects of the capacity strengthening support provided. Two informal capacity strengthening trainings were conducted for KEEP during the period. The project conducted two days formal training on data collection and data source verification for five consortium members including three staff KEEP. Plan International Liberia (PIL) strengthened the capacity of Kids Educational Engagement Project (KEEP) a women-led CSO through targeted capacity-building trainings. These trainings focused on safeguarding practices, KOBO data collection, and reporting. As a result, KEEP has enhanced its ability to protect vulnerable populations, competently collect and manage data, and precisely report their activities and outcomes. Plan International Liberia will continue to support the strengthening of the capacity of KEEP Monitoring and Evaluation team in the development of field monitoring report using the updated template Increased capacity of CSO partner KEEP has been reported previously. During the last year, capacity strengthening support was given to further improve KEEP's ability to engage with key stakeholders such as traditional leaders and local government. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 No capacity building was done for any Youth-led Organizations. However, the project conducted 3 Focus group Discussion sessions and Engagement meetings with three youth groups one per county in the three locations. As a result of these engagements, the youth groups are currently reviewing the MoU signed with She LEADS GYW to ensure that male allies strengthen their support to female leadership across the three domains of the project. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 We do not contribute to this indicator We do not contribute to this indicator PIL is currently providing technical support to its targeted 20 GYW-led groups that consists of 15-20 members each. These groups are however not considered as second tier partners. The results of the support to these groups are being presented in the narrative annual report of She Leads. In 2024, the She LEADS project added three new girls and young women (GYW) led groups, making a total of 23 groups, each with about 15 members. The original 20 groups stayed active, while the three new ones were mentored by the GYW. The project also included two GYW living with disabilities across three locations. These girls and young women work for social change, promoting gender equality and women's rights. They join community discussions, challenge unfair practices, and mentor others by teaching skills related to youth empowerment and sharing knowledge about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) during meetings. These groups make decisions together, with everyone involved. The GYW-led groups are open and inclusive, encouraging shared responsibility and active participation. This teamwork helps the girls and young women take on leadership roles, advocate for their rights, and mentor their peers, keeping the groups strong and effective. Plan and its partners will support the informal (tier 3) GYW-led groups. In 2025 there are 12 new groups, 3 per county in Lofa, Nimba and Montserrado. Additionally, Plan and the IPs will support the GYW-led group to develop and signed MOU with 6 media institutions (Lofa-3, Nimba-2 and Montserrado 1) to sustain GYW continual challenge of negative norms in public spaces. Plan International Liberia in collaboration with the Community Safety Initiative (CSI) and Untied Funding and development for underaged Mothers (UFDUM) facilitated the signing of five (5) Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) between GYW-led groups, community leaders and managers of local radio stations in Voinjama, Kolahun, Foya, Ganta and Sannquellie. In Nimba County, Radio Gompa has the second largest coverage reaching seven (7) of the nine(9) districts, Similarly, in Lofa radio Kitoma boast the widest coverage reaching all five districts SL 2.2 Number of CSOs/CSO networks with increased GYW representation in active membership and/or leadership. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 SICOE and CSI, 2 of Plan's implementing partners Two implementing partners are more and more engaging and working with girls and young women to develop and implement actions. This is a results of training on meaningful youth participation and safeguarding SICOE and CSI, 2 of Plan's implementing partners Two of three CSOs managed to improve their representative function towards GYW: Plan Liberia and CSI. In 2022, Plan increased its collaboration at the national level with Line Ministry and CSO in Montserrado through the Child protection department of the Ministry of Gender Children protection, especially the Adolescent Girls Advisory Board. Children, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Civil Society Organization in a joint advocacy that promote youth leadership. The Community Safety Initiatives is a Community Based Organization (CBO) that managed to increase its representation at the County GBV coordination by joining and obtaining membership of the taskforce, collaborating with federation of Liberian Youth in celebrating national and international events that promote human rights. Plan International has strengthened its ability to represent the constituency of girls and young women. GYW voices are now better reflected within the organization. In Nimba, for the first time five GYW were placed on an internship program at the PIL - Program Intervention and Influencing Area (PIIA), three girls were placed in the offices of finance, sponsorship and IT departments. Two were also placed at Rural Women assigned in the offices of the project manager and field assistant offices in Sannquellie. The She Leads project and implementing partners with support from the child protection and safeguarding advisor, ensured that all safeguarding practices were observed and enforced during the orientation and throughout the exercise. Plan will include a GYW into their Country Leadership Team In 2024, the partnership between Plan International Liberia (PIL) and the Community Safety Initiative (CSI) was of benefit to CSI's institutional growth. One notable area of growth was in CSI's community development programs. With the enhanced skills and resources provided by PIL, CSI was able to implement more effective advocacy efforts and community safety initiatives. This included better engagement with local communities and stakeholders, leading to more impactful and sustainable programs. Additionally, the partnership facilitated the professional development of CSI staff. Overall, the partnership with Plan International Liberia in 2024 helped CSI to strengthen its institutional capacity, enhance its community programs, and improve its operational efficiency. This growth has positioned CSI as a more effective and influential organization in promoting community safety and development in Liberia. PIL will continue work with one new contracted CSO UFDUM for enhanced representation An increase in the capacity of CSO partner UFDUM to provide training and on-the-spot coaching to GYW. Their training and coaching sessions contributed to more confidence and skills of GYW to perform their organizational roles and address emerging challenges during advocacy and project implementation phases. The support helps nurture emergent leaders and prepares them for greater community influence. SL 2.2 Number of CSOs/CSO networks with increased GYW representation in active membership and/or leadership. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 KEEP, Plan's implementing partner initial steps were taken, but the CSO is yet to increase representation Partner's increased ability to represent girls and young women in policy and decision-making processes has been reported in previous years KEEP has increased her representation in two Women-led CSO (YOCEL and PAYCOWI) through the internship placement for GYW. Based on these organization detalied information about the She Leads project, the GYW were able to obtain additional knowledg in networking, advocacy and lobby. KEEP will increase GYW on their staff In 2024, the partnership between Plan International Liberia (PIL) and United Funding and Development for Underage Mothers (UFDUM) has been of great advantage. One notable area of growth was in UFDUM's community outreach programs. With the enhanced skills and resources provided by PIL, UFDUM was able to implement more effective advocacy efforts and support initiatives for underage mothers in a safe way unlike before. This included better engagement with local communities and stakeholders, leading to more impactful programs. Plan International Liberia will continue to support KEEP to increase GYW's participation across all projects implemented by the organization The project continued to strenghen the capacity of the CSO partners to effectively engage girls and young women in advocacy for gender equality SL 2.2 Number of CSOs/CSO networks with increased GYW representation in active membership and/or leadership.

NL-KVK-41198890-JOR100061 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In Jordan, girls and young women, particularly GYW from socially excluded and exploited groups, are denied the opportunity to voice their interests and to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes. While Jordan has made impressive strides in, for example, GYW’s access to education and the introduction of new laws against GBV, their socio-political participation continues to be much lower than that of boys and young men. Within the population of girls and young women (between age 14 till 24 years of age), there are specific groups of GYW in She Leads countries who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In Jordan, consortium members DCI-ECPAT, TdH and Plan will be implementing. Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. In the African She Leads countries, the programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020). DCI-ECPAT is a network organisation, and will be working through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International and Terre des Hommes will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. Finally, She Leads will seek alignment and collaboration with the Dutch Embassy and other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortiums funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

We will reduce the initial target of 3 to 1, due to contextual developlements and limitations. Due to the difficult national level context we focused on the regional and governorate level # of times that CSOs succeed in creating space for CSO demands and positions on women’s voice, agency, leadership and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere, through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or movement building at subnational level We identified the need for capacity strengthening of CSOs within and outside the consortium on the issues of GYW representation, lobby and advocacy, and capacity to advance women's rights and gender equality. The Jordan River Foundation is committed to collaborating with both religious leaders and a group of youth to promote gender equality and women's rights. The initiative involves engaging religious leaders in specialized training centered on women's rights, enabling them to subsequently conduct awareness sessions within their communities. Simultaneously, the youth will undergo comprehensive training on women's rights, gender-based violence (GBV), and the development of community-based projects. These young individuals will then implement these initiatives across various universities and communities. Some intiatives might be implemented in some of including the JWU centers at 15 different locations, along with 5 Community-Based Organizations in Ma’an, Tafila, Jerash, Irbid, and Mafraq. The program of JWU focuses on empowering adolescents to actively participate in gender equality activities. Furthermore, the Plan and Shama's network, as well as Tdh and their partners, have contributed and will continue to the 16 days of activism by amplifying the voices and agency of girls and young women (GYW). Tdh's partners are engaged with three committees, one GYW committee in Nadi Alibda, another in Idoun, and a youth committee in Ruwwad. These committees are enhancing their capacities to effectively advocate for women's rights and amplify women's voices. 16 days of activisim, resourcing and creation of space for local CBOs at governorate level. some key outcomes include GYW and women's rights group resourced by Plan led and were invited in key disussions on GBV with insitutions and civic spaces.

SL S.O Number of laws, policies and societal norms blocked, adopted or improved to promote GYWs voice, agency, leadership, and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere. Identified relevant laws impacting the lives of GYW are: - natiaonality law, penal code, labour code, law on protection from domestic violence, temporary personal stagus law,, laws on electronic crimes, law on protection from domestic violence, law on the rights of poeple with disabilities, regularion of flexible work system, law on societies, draft children reights law, national defence law, crime prevention. Social norms: jordanian socieity is deeple patriarchal and violence against women and girls is endemic. Due to the social and conservative nature of jordainan society, women ar not only restricted in their access to public spaces, but also digital ones, especially GYW. Our objective is to drive amendments, influence change, and activate initiatives based on the recommendations put forth by the Child Parliament. In the timeframe of 2024-2025, the Children's Parliament will engage in a thorough review and formulate recommendations that will serve as the foundation for advocating legal amendments. TDH will specific focus placed on the personal status law, with a targeted approach towards addressing domestic violence issues. Through these efforts, we seek to bring about meaningful improvements and create a legal framework that better safeguards the rights and well-being of individuals, particularly in cases of domestic violence.

As a recent update on the law of association formation and public assemblies the Ministry of Social Development (MOSD) stopped reviewing it with no clear verification. Knowing that the proposed amendments on the law were expected to shrink the civic spaces of CSOs and increase restrictions on active engagement of youth, GYW led organizations, and feminists’ collective groups in particular. Having the review opportunity gave hope to civil society organizations and youth /women led organizations in forming a just and fair version of the law to lessen space shrinking if not combating it.

(5) NL-KVK-41198890-LBN100041 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In Lebanon, girls and young women, particularly GYW from socially excluded and exploited groups, are denied the opportunity to voice their interests and to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes. While Lebanon has made impressive strides in, for example, GYW’s access to education and the introduction of new laws against GBV, their socio-political participation continues to be much lower than that of boys and young men. Within the population of girls and young women (between age 14 till 24 years of age), there are specific groups of GYW in She Leads countries who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In Lebanon, She Leads members DCI-ECPAT, TdH and Plan will be implementing. Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. In six She Leads countries, the programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020). DCI-ECPAT is a network organisation, and will be working through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International and Terre des Hommes will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. Finally, She Leads will seek alignment and collaboration with the Dutch Embassy and other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortiums funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

Within the population of girls and young women (between age 14 till 24 years of age), there are specific groups of GYW in She Leads countries who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. The She Leads consortium brings together child rights organisations, feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups and aims to increase sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions. In Ethiopia, She Leads members FEMNET, TdH and Plan will implement the programme.

Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. The long-term aim (impact) of She Leads is that GYW’s perspectives are included in gender responsive laws and policies and societal norms and practices. The strategic objective is to increase the sustained influence of GYW on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions. Central to the She Leads programme is the enhancement of collective action of girls and young women in a gender-responsive civil society (civil society domain), support by increased acceptance of positive social gender norms (socio-cultural domain) and by enabling meaningful participation of girls and young women in decision-making by political institutions (institutional domain). Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations.

In the first mid year we were able to have an additional number of created spaces for the initial plan. The second mid year is also targeting 6 new spaces at national level considering the remaining years ahead. Overall, all respondents to the CSO survey in Ethiopia reported that their organisations had created space for CSO demands and positions on women’s voice, agency, and leadership. CSOs and CSO network members set the agenda on GYW issues, contributed to shifting the discourse on GYW matters, and supported or built movements promoting women’s voice, agency, and leadership. The network overachieved the initial target of 8. The created spaces include the task force meetings held each quarter in 2021, 2022 and mid year of 2023. In addition We were able to create space for the Ethiopian Young women Voice to interact with decision making bodies in government office and other women led CSO so that they were able to influence their demands and shared experiences. The 2 newly achieved outcomes entail the national-level creation of youth advisory roles and advocacy participation for 20 GYW in collaboration with CSOs and the international-level representation of Ethiopian youth at the Child Summit Forum in South Africa. # of times that CSOs succeed in creating space for CSO demands and positions on women’s voice, agency, leadership and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere, through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or movement building at subnational level We identified the need for capacity strengthening of CSOs within and outside the consortium on the issues of GYW representation, lobby and advocacy, and capacity to advance women's rights and gender equality. We have increased the number of spaces generated at the subnational level from the initial plan in this part as well. We recently learned that although the plan was established with fewer estimates than anticipated, the actual exceeded it. As a result, we also established new targets for the next two years while taking into account the environment.

Iddirs are influential to change attitudes and practices of the community. Based on the awareness raised activities to be done Iddirs will include and amend the sanctions on the negative practices on GYW in their bylaws In this section the consortium members are working with different community based organisations to change discriminating treatments and we have managed to include GYW issues in 160 CBO bi-laws this year. She Leads Ethiopia under the different implementation areas in more than 7 districts and has 45 kebele target CBOs that have influence in the lives of GYW. In one kebele we can find 5-20 Iddirs depending on the population and the topography of the area. We will have different intervention plans to help them think of revising their by- law to enable and create a friendly space for GYW in their community engagement. Attitude of communities towards issues concerning GYW shifted. GYW successfully influenced negative social norms by amending by-laws. Community by-laws and norms relating to child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) were revised. Reduced child marriage and GBV cases were observed.

NL-KVK-41198890-SLE100203 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In Sierra Leone, girls and young women, particularly GYW from socially excluded and exploited groups, are denied the opportunity to voice their interests and to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In Sierra Leone, She Leads members Plan International , Defence for Children and Femnet. They will bring together child rights organisations, feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups with the aim to increase sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions. The programme will be implemented in Bo, Bombali, Kenema, Koinadugu, Moyamba, Tonkalili and Western Area. Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. The programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020) that was also implemented in Sierra Leone FEMNET and DCI-ECPAT are network organisations, and will be working in all countries through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International and Terre des Hommes will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. The is no Dutch Embassies present in Sierra Leone, but She Leads will seek support and alignment with the Dutch Embassy in Ghana where needed. Finally, She Leads will seek alignment and collaboration with other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortiums funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups To facilitate the change process towards the She Leads’ strategic objective, consortium members and partners have opted to implement the following mix of strategies and actions: • support girls and young women led groups, to be able to champion advocacy issues and also enhance their skills, to participate in decision making in CSO platforms. Support will include trainings in facilitating advocacy, communication, leadership, proposal writing and management skills. They will also provided with funds after been capacitated to carry out their advocacy. • support to the CSO partners to be able to mentor girls and young women’s groups to carry out their activism. This support will include assessment, capacity building by the consortium partners and country partners to CSOs. In addition, CSO partners will link girls and young women’s group with existing networks, coalitions and forums. This will help to increase the chances of GYW to participate in decision making process and also advocacy at national and international level. • organize quarterly learning sessions of GYW to create learning opportunities for girls and young women’s group, as well as to identify the successes and challenges that the groups are faced with whilst carrying out their initiatives. • engage Child Right and Gender sensitive CSO’s and non-governmental organizations: Civil society organisations that promote gender and child rights, will be targeted during the implementation. They will lobby to provide additional support (technical and financial) to girls and young women’s group, and also identify further funding opportunities for them as well. This will help to increase the capacity (financial and technical) of GYW groups to influence decision making bodies on their participation. • facilitating media advocacy for girls and young women’ group: Girls and young women will be capacitated through training on media advocacy and also provided with necessary equipment including video cameras and digital cameras that will enhance their advocacy to themedia, including social and traditional media. This strategy will help to amplify their voices and help widen their advocacy platforms. • Intergenerational dialogues with community stakeholders, on discriminatory social and gender norms excluding GYW from decision-making. The essence of these dialogues is to understand the negative norms and practices affecting women’s empowerment, and also their participation in decision making process. n. • mobilizing community champions/role models, men, boys, parents to challenge negative social and gender norms. Support will be provided to community champions to organize events that will inspire community members to change their negative norms and practices. Also, community leaders will be influenced to publicly challenge and condemn the negative norms and practices existing in their communities. In addition, changing negative norms required a lot of practical sessions with stakeholders that are involved. • sessions on gender socialization, living in peace and life skills will be organized. These will involve girls and young women, boys and young men, at community level. These are practical sessions that will help men and women to understand gender roles, how to support each other whilst carrying out their gender roles, and most important, the importance of promoting gender equality. • dialogue with GYW on the effects of negative social and gender norms limiting their participation in decision making: Girls and young women will be engage in dialogue sessions, that will help them acquire skills, to challenge their perceived gender role. This venture will help to increase their representation in male dominated areas. In addition, under this strategy, schools will be provided with support to build the confidence and skills of girls and young women, to aspire for school leadership positions. • provide input to the government to review existing laws and policies and also develop new ones that promote girls and young women’s empowerment. The Ministry of social Welfare will be supported to review the Child Right Act, Child Marriage Laws, and also develop the Gender Equality policy. The Ministry of Youth will be supported to implement the Youth Policy. • engage Ministries, and institutions to support the involvement of girls and young women in leadership and decision-making process. • identify champions who will create the space for girls and young women, within their institutions. • engage the Commission for political party registration. This commission is responsible for harmonizing and coordinating the affairs of political parties. Hence engaging them to create space for girls and young women’s participation, will contribute to bringing the issues of girls and young women in the agenda of political parties. She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

She Leads decided however to consider these partners as Tier 3 organizations (which are reported in our narrative annual report) The target was set in error, no GYW led CSO was contracted under the grant. Plan Sierra Leone does however provide direct support to informal GYW-led groups. In 2024, three new GYW (Girls and Young Women) groups were involved in the project. Two GYW-led groups—She Empowerment League, Helping Hands Initiatives, and Youth Initiative Action for Climate Change—were supported with funds and technical assistance to implement their self-initiated activities.

They have also been trained and coached by Plan International Sierra Leone on three specific topics: the collection of evidence supporting their advocacy claims, the use of this evidence in regional and international advocacy opportunities and the organization of a GYW-led summit to facilitate the connections between different GYW-led groups 2 GYW-led groups whose capacity to advocate and connect to key decision-makers will be strengthened The GYW-led groups identified in the target are the Tier 3 partners of Plan International. The support provided to them during 2023 is included in our narrative annual report. No tier 2 partners in this category. But ongoing capacity support to the informal GYW-led groups and networks which are supported. Two GYW led groups ( She Empowerment League and Youth Initiave Action for Climate Change ) were provided with capacity trainings by involving them in trainings that will be conducted for contracted CSO. The 2 youth groups that were supported technically and financially have gained strength and capacity in implementing gender equality and children's rights activities through the coaching and mentoring, and their involvement in trainings and workshops organized by the project. YICA has able to get an office space and a well structured staffing. Additionally, Youth Initiative for Climate Action (YICA): launched the first local chapter of the Youth Climate Council Freetown, which is currently operating under the Mayor's Office and various ministries focused on climate change in Freetown. They also gained funding from the Global Human Rights to implement a one-year-long mentoring climate action program for 20 women in Sierra Leone and also provided funding for 5 Girls and Young Women to lead climate action The She Empowerment League was also contracted by GIZ to provide a one week training for their staff on Gender related issues. The three new (tier 3) groups will receive capacity support in project management, resource mobilization and lobby and advocacy strategies. With regards to the tier 3 GYW-led groups, hunderd fifty GYW from 4 groups out of the 39 groups supported by Plan Sierra Leone and CSO partners, with a membership of 30 per group, have taken up leadership positions in their constituencies. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Capacity assessments have been finalized, first capacity support interventions delivered, results are expected next year Various capacity trainings on project activities methodologies and organizational development were conducted to build the technical skills of partners to enable them effectively and efficiently deliver on project outputs. Capacity strengthening process is still ongoing. Local partners have been trained and received coaching in order to strengthen their capacity to effectively build life skills of girls and young women, engage communities and groups in intergenerational dialogue sessions on social norms and on positive parenting skills. The effects of the capacity support are expected to materialize during 2023. Increased capacity of both women-led CSO partners to advocate for GYW participation and leadership Plan Sierra Leone provided trainings for ADPSL to improve on direct implementation, mentoring of GYW led groups and advocacy interventions. Also provided trainings on how to run safe space program, how to conduct intergenerational dialogue, as well as assessing and addressing risks related to the She Leads Interventions. Capacity strengthening of ADPSL has been reported in a previous year. Capacity support to the new partner SLADA has started, through training, on the job coaching of staff on issues such as gender equality, safeguarding, meaningful youth participation and strategies advancing children's right. As a result of these interventions, CSO partner ADPSL got other funding opportunitiy from Unicef to implement WASH in schools and communities in Bombali and Pujehun ,SLADA was able to submit high quality liquidations and reports. SLADA capacity strengthening has been reported previously. During 2025, Plan Sierra Leone supported the partner to help SLADA staff to engage more effectively in activism and policy and make better use of existing platforms with donors and relevant stakeholders. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Training and coaching on how to work with and engage GYW-led groups In 2021, Plan International Sierra Leone reported an increase in its capacity to work with and engage GYW-led groups. During 2022, the capacity was further consolidated. This has been demonstrated in the successful implementation of the youth resourcing pilot and the facilitation of GYW representatives in national and international policy dialogues. Capacity support provided to Plan Sierra Leone to continue strengthening its capacity to provide tailor-made support to informal groups of GYW Plan International Sierra Leone's increased capacity has been reported in previous years. During 2023, the organization succesfully piloted direct funding instruments with informal GYW-led groups. We expected to achieve strengthened capacity of the two new partners, particularly in relation to their lobby and advocacy capacities and their ability to attract new funding (proposal writing). The expected entry of two new partners did not materialize. Capacity strengthening support to the remaining adult-led partners continued throughout 2025. . # of times that CSOs succeed in creating space for CSO demands and positions on women’s voice, agency, leadership and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere, through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or movement building Opportunities to Support CSOs to enhance the engagement of GYW with formal decision-makers at different levbels and with relevant fora to advocate for the creation of GYWs’ meaningful participation. We put the target at 15 for 2025, as in 2.5 years we already achievd a number of 10. It is realistic to assure times. On purpose we keep it do-able and a bit low, in order to be sure to achieve the target number,. me that in the coming 2.5 years we can do 5 mo At National Level was able to sucessfully influence government for the adoption and promotion of the following laws; Review of the Child Right Act; Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Act; Land Right Act, Education Act and Cyber Crime Act.

Finally they also suceded in getting the Sierra Leone People's Political Party to include the views and opinion of girls and young women into their Mnafiesto and Top 5 priority to address as a government. # of times that CSOs succeed in creating space for CSO demands and positions on women’s voice, agency, leadership and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere, through agenda setting, influencing the debate and/or movement building at subnational level We identified the need for capacity strengthening of CSOs within and outside the consortium on the issues of GYW representation, lobby and advocacy, anmd capacity to advance women's rights and gender equality. The network has set their target for 50 after the MTR review, already the She leads partners have been able to influence the creation of space at community level and District Level a total of 39 times so for the coming 2.5 years they will be able to hit the target of 50. 2 times (WF in Tonkolilie, Port Loko influenced GEWE Bill, they held consultation with Community stakeholders in both District to get their support on the bill for it to become law. 3 times .DCI and Plan in Bo, Makeni, Kenema was able to influenced community stakeholders to give their input on the reviewed of Child Act and also engged children to get their input and submit to government) ; 2 times (WF did popularisation in Pujehun and Kambia about GEWE Bill). 2 times, Plan Influencing of district councils on registration for GYW groups and to give GYW the opportunity to participate in cuncil meetings Moyamba, Koinadugu, and DCI-SL 1 times in Bombalie District National Youth policy , the legal framework has been adopted this 2021, so the network wants to push for the implementation of certain areas that enhance youths empowerment. The She Leads team will follow up on the implementation of the reocendation made by girls and young women that was included in the political Manifesto of the ruling part now after the 2023 elections. Also the team will continue to provide support to Youth Advisory group at the Ministry of Education so they will be able to influence government laws, polices and strtegies, finally the team will also advocacte for the Ministry of Gender by 2025 to develop a strategy for the implementation of the GEWE Act for it aim to be fully ahcived. The National Youth Policy (2021) the adoption of this policy was succesfully influenced by Plan International and Defence for Children International, also influenced by girls and young women that are part of the She Leads SL S.O Number of laws, policies and societal norms blocked, adopted or improved to promote GYWs voice, agency, leadership, and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere. She Leads facilitated for GYW to put their recommendations together on the Maputo Protocol, which was included in the CSO shadow report; In consultations on the CRC GYW put their key messages together on issues around justice, sexual violence, education and health and that was submitted to the Special Rapporteur of the CRC; Regarding the African Charter of the Rights and the Welfare of the Child (ACRWC), She Leads had a consultation with GYW on their input on the issue of child marriage. SL S.O Number of laws, policies and societal norms blocked, adopted or improved to promote GYWs voice, agency, leadership, and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere. Review revision and adoption of Gender Empowerment Bill and the child rights act 2007. revision of the customary law provisions in the consitution of Sierra Leone At the end of the MTR Review meeting the She Leads programme, reset it targets on laws to be achieved by 2025 to 7laws – including the already 5 laws developed and 2 additional laws: Safe Motherhood Bill and the1991 Constitution to be review. The 4 laws that have been enacted will be pushed for promotion, the 3 Laws will be pushed for their enactment, that is the Child Rigth Act, the 1991 Consotution of Sierra Leone and the Safe Motherhood Bill. The network committed to work on the following laws during the period under review. 1.Adoption of the Gender Empowerment Bill; 2.Review process of the Constitution (sections referring to customary law as a source for common law)3. Review of the Child Right Act 2007 SL S.O Number of laws, policies and societal norms blocked, adopted or improved to promote GYWs voice, agency, leadership, and representative participation in decision-making processes in public, private and civic sphere. The Network will work assidously in 2025 to break or block the following norms; 1. Leadership of women at community and District level especially in the North and some areas in the south. 2. Participation of girls and young women in Decsion Making processes at home, school and community level 3. Voices of girls and young women in the home, school, community 4. Property Right. During the Period under review, it is worthy to note that in the North at Bombalie and Koinadugu women are still not allowed to become paramount cheifs due to the fact that they have to be part of the poro soceity or other soecieties before being recognised as eligible candidate. However there is an open coversation now for women to be sectioncehifs, also women coming to meeting expressing their views and opinions, mammy queens having conversations with the women in her sections about issues affecting them and bringing it before the chefis at general meetings, which is very rear before now. Also now in the South the issue of Bondo soceity was an issue for women to be eliglbe for positions like section cheifs or councilorship or parliamentrains, people are nor more aware and open to vote for women and support them even if they are not part of the Bondo soceiy. The New land rght Act has created more opportunity for women to be able to acess land and properties without passing through their male siblings or relatives. The MTR findings shows that finally women are now more aware about the benifit they have if they pay their tax and also the advantage to pay their tax by themselves instead of passing through their husbands, they now know that it serve as a foundation fro them to vote and be voted for within their communities. They are also coming up gradually to occupy places of leadership in their schools and communities at large. Issues of inheritance are becoming more favourable on the part of the women and their children+I9 At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Although not planned for, the three new girls and young women-led organizations, due to the direct funding and the capacity support, managed to increase their ability to organize more girls and young women in their respective areas and to better voice out their demands. CSO partners (like CARL and Girl Aid Movement) will support 15 GYW-led groups to build and expand their constituency The third tier GYW-led groups and organizations supported by She Leads are included in the narrative annual report. 54 GYW from 10 groups out of the 35 groups we are working with in the 3 operational districts with a membership of 30 per group have joined leadership in their constituencies. These positions include Section Chief, Chairlady, chiefdom committe chairlady, CTA chairperson, youth chairperson, local court clerk, Children Forum Netowork vice president, Mammy Queens among others. Two of the girls in Koinadugu were appointed as steering comittee heads for the Ministry of Gender and the district council. With regard to the Tier 3 GYW-led groups supported by She Leads: 150 GYW from 4 groups out of the 39 groups supported by Plan Sierra Leone and CSO partners, with a membership of 30 per group, have taken up leadership positions in their constituencies. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 These youth-led CSOs are succesfully mobilizing boys and young men to become champions for gender equality The main target of this indicator is CFN. During 2023, this partner was able to strengthen its influencing interventions on girls' rights issues, in particular girls' rights to participation. CFN influenced positive parenting and contributed to a shift in attitudes towards raising the girl child among communities in Western Area. Parents are now much more supportive of their girls and young women to voice out their challenges and participate in various community development engagements. Stakeholders such as chiefs, mammy queens, parents, boys and young men, religious leaders, heads of community structures and social groups show increased levels of commitment to support GYW and giving them leadership space. A key example is the increase in girls and young women who are being elected as class representatives at their school. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 Plan International Sierra Leone has made great strides in strengthening its representational role towards girls and young women. It restructured its Youth Advisory Panel to ensure a more equal representation and participation from young people from a broader range of districts of Sierra Leone. The YAP now has 61 members (38 girls and young women, 23 boys and young men). The YAP members are also having regular meetings with the country leadership team members. Plan International Sierra Leone continue to strengthen its representational role towards girls and young women. Plan International Sierra Leone, alongside the overall country She Leads network, has influenced the Ministry of Gender to consider participation of Girls and Young led groups in their quarterly meetings for their ideas on girls' rights and gender equality. This is based on their participation in the district and national coordination meetings of key ministries and Departments such as Ministry of Gender and Children’s Affairs, Ministry of Social Welfare, Youth Commission, Ministry of Education, District Council, movements and networks within the districts. Plan International Sierra Leone succesfully supported 12 women from the Koinadugu Women's Network who gained representation at the National Young Women Governance Network Sierra Leone. The National Young Women Network is a body that is formed for all women that are advocates for the rights and empowerment of the girl child in Sierra Leone. The 12 women that gained the representation at the Northern Region are involved in all decision-making processes. The new partners will expand their outreach to groups of girls and young women, engaging them more actively in project activities. The She Leads network decided to finalize the implementation without contracting new partners. At the start of the programme, the baseline value for this indicator is 0 GYW led groups were identified and assessed to know their capacity and strength to develop and implement activities on their own. Total of 20 groups have been assessed and training and coaching support started. Results are expected during next year. This refers to the capacity of CARL and ADPSL to integrate GYW voices in their organizations Although CARL and ADPSL have gained more organizational strength through the implementation of She Leads activities aimed at the meaningful inclusion and participation of GYW, the effects in terms of their representational capacity still need to materialize. CARL and ADPSL have included physically challenged GYW into their programs ADPSL has managed to strengthen its interventions implemented with and for girls and young women. Through its influence on local cultural decision-making courts, it has achieved to open these spaces for more girls and young women's participation. For example, the Sherbro Tribal Chief in Tombo community, Western Rural Area, in a stakeholders meeting in the community extended invitation to the GYW group in the community to send two representatives who for the first time were part of the council of Sherbro local court. The representative is to attend all sittings of the court. Additionally, for the first time, the Chief in Dwarzack community during a meeting held with the community granted membership space to two GYW to be part of the community council of elders and local court committee where they would attend meetings and witness case hearings in the community local court. Support management in strengthening the relationship-building skills of their staff and facilitating their access to relevant coordination platforms have strengthened SLADA's representational role. SLADA has empowered their field staff on how to engage in activism and policy advocacy by providing the platforms to attend donor and coordination meetings. SLADA has a bigger network as they are implementing for CARE, Purposeful and other Plan Projects. They maintain a good working relationship with government line ministries.The organization is headed by a young woman woman, the Head of Program is a young woman and they are operating in 3 districts (Western Area ,Moyamba, Port Loko and Pujehun). SLADA has empowered their field staff on how to engage in activism and policy advocacy by providing her the platforms to attend donor and coordination meetings. NL-KVK-41198890-MLI100329 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In Mali, girls and young women (GYW), particularly GYW from socially excluded and exploited groups, are denied the opportunity to voice their interests and to participate in decision-making. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In Mali, Plan International Mali, TdH Mali and ROAJEF(local member of FEMNET) will implement the programme. They will bring together child rights organisations, feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups with the aim to increase sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions. In addition to joint advocacy at national level, the programme will be implementing in Ségou, Mopti, Timbuktu, Koulikoro, Sikasso, and Bamako Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. In six She Leads countries, the programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020). FEMNET and DCI-ECPAT are network organisations, and will be working in all countries through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International and Terre des Hommes will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. She Leads will seek collaboration with the Dutch Embassy in Bamako and alignment and collaboration with other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortiums funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

En outre, YA -G-TU et ASORO ont étendu ses zones d'intervention à Tombouctou (nord) et Koulikoro (sud). Pour cela, l'équipe du projet SHE LEADS envisage de renforcer leurs capacités sur le partenariat afin de les permettre d'entretenir de bons rapports avec les acteurs intervenants dans leurs zones d'intervention. Cela a été matérialisé par la formation de Plan International Mali à l'endroit des partenaires de mise en oeuvre sur sa stratégie de partenariat. L'organisation étant dirigée par une femme compte prendre le leads des questions d'autonomisation des femmes The performance evaluation of partners A. SORO and YA-G-TU highlighted the representation of women within their organizations. This is illustrated by the inclusion of female staff, with 65% (14 out of 22) for the NGO A. SORO and 57% of a total of 111 people for the NGO YA-G-TU. Both organizations aim to have a significant number of women to ensure strong female representation in their decision-making bodies in the long term. There are 6 CSO organizations headed by women for their executive boards. At the level of the programmatic management team, women are to be represented at the desired level with plans to recruit female staff to better ensure women's representation. This will continue in 2025. Both organizations were led by women at executive level and received training to be represented within the programmatic management teams. To address this, the organizations planned to recruit female staff to improve women’s representation. Note: The target of six corresponds to three members per CSO.

During the various awareness and training sessions, 8 CSOs received capacity building on lobbying/advocacy and other project-related themes. Feminist CSOs run by young people have included advocacy actions in their action plans to change certain practices or influence decision-makers. For example, they have advocacy initiatives in the field of GBV abandonment and child marriage. Youth-led feminist CSOs (13) integrated advocacy actions into their action plans to influence decision-makers and promote changes in practices, particularly to address GBV and child marriage.

A.SORO and YA G TU have been strengthened in terms of knowledge about women's rights and gender equality. This was achieved through the organization of reality TV days and advocacy events that focused on the theme of gender equality. SHE LEADS project enabled the President of the NGO YA-G-TU to accept the position of President of the CSOs in the Bandiagara region. That said, the project has raised awareness among communities of the need to trust women and girls by addressing social norms. The CSOs GILGAL and Nouvelle Génération (2) were strengthened in advocacy. NL-KVK-41198890-UGA100465 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In Uganda, girls and young women are denied the opportunity to voice their interests and to participate meaningfully in decision-making. She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands, African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In Uganda, TdH, Plan and FEMNET will implement the programme. They work with feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups with the aim to increase sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making and the transformation of gender norms in formal and informal institutions. Civil society partners of in Uganda are Trailbraizers Mentpring, Kampala Youth Advocacy and Development Network, Integrated Disabled Women Activities and TdH’s partners. In addition to joint advocacy at national level, the programme will be implemented in Central and Eastern Regions Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at local and national level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. In the social-cultural domain, partners engage traditional and religious leaders, forging coalitions of progressive actors who, due to their status and authority, will galvanize their constituencies to adopt more positive gender and age norms. Awareness raising and diffusion of new ideas through media and peer networks (including boys and young men) will challenge existing norms and expectations. Young female activists play an important role in this process, by inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces in which GYW can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills, is a major step towards increased self-organization. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain, policy makers will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Stronger connections between progressive policy makers and political leaders working at different levels will result in a coalition of reform-minded champions. In addition, pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. Currently we are witnessing a rise in girls and young women’s activism and protest. The She Leads programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. In six She Leads countries, the programme builds directly on the experiences of the previous Girls Advocacy Alliance (2016-2020). FEMNET and DCI-ECPAT are network organisations, and will be working in all countries through selected members of their respective networks. Plan International and Terre des Hommes will work through their country offices and with local contracted organisations to implement projects under the overall She Leads programme. There are Dutch Embassies present in all countries where She Leads will be implemented except for Sierra Leone and Liberia. Finally, She Leads will seek alignment and collaboration with other consortiums funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In particular, She Leads will seek alignment with the four other consortiums funded under the Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (WRGE) theme of the Power of Voices funding mechanism. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups To facilitate the change process towards the She Leads’ strategic objective, consortium members and partners have opted to implement the following mix of strategies and actions: 1. Capacity strengthening of CSO partners and GYW-led CSOs In order for GYW’s voices to be amplified and influential, it is important that CSOs understand the issues of GYW and establish platforms where their issues can be heard. Similarly, GYW-led CSOs will be strengthened to have knowledge and resources to represent themselves, and CSO capacity needs will be identified through capacity assessment and then strengthened . 2. Joint learning among girl- & youth-led organisations and CSO partners will together girl- & youth-led organizations and CSO partners to reflect on issues that affect GYW and devise avenues through which their voices can best be amplified. The different learning platforms will provide creative and innovative ways of working that put GYW in the lead of lanning and making decisions about learning. 3. Formation and strengthening of a social movement for girls’ rights and gender equality: strong social movements are pivotal to the achievement of GYW´s influential positions towards decision making. GYW-led groups will be supported to advance a common agenda create attention towards the issues affecting GYW that in turn will enables CSO partners and governments to support the GYW-led advocacy initiatives. 4. Linking and networking: For GYW-led groups to influence decisions and policy processes, it is critical that they will be connected to the right CSO platforms, networks and coalitions. These avenues will provide opportunity for training, mentorship, and resourcing. GYW will get experience and exposure that support them towards advancing their issues. 5. Mobilising communities and role models Gender norms are deeply entrenched in patriarchal systems. Confronting and changing these norms requires collaborative efforts from all community stakeholders (parents, GYW, media, boys/men, religious and traditional leaders, local leaders). She Leads will molilizer the communities and support positive role models to enhance community understanding and acceptance of the need to support transformative gender norms that permit GYW’s participation in decision-making. 6. Lobbying She Leads will engage with influential informal leaders like local community leaders, religious leaders, and traditional leaders to challenge negative norms. Media engagements in this strategy will play a very important role in changing the mindsets of influential leaders while at the same time portraying positive messages to challenge negative stereotypes. 7. Lobby and advocacy A lobby and advocacy strategy will be employed to bring to the attention of decision makers the need for inclusion of GYW in decision-making, but also to hold governments accountable for the implementation of the commitments of the SDGs and UPR. Lobby efforts will also pursue development of progressive laws and policies and implementation and monitoring of the national gender policy and the National Development Plan III. 8. Evidence generation and policy influencing/advice Data collection using simple research methods will be conducted in order to provide evidence to support GYW advocacy campaigns. The programmeme will also test some of its strategies to see what fits best. Documentation of best practices will be conducted to support learning and future scale-up. She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: She Leads will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

Results are expected in 2023. Trained the implementing partner on the champion of change model for gender transformative programming , safeguarding, proposal writing and financial management. The coaching and mentorship of GYW has contributed to enhancing the confidence and lifeskills of GYW within the community. This has empowered them to be able to demand for services and engage leaders within their communities on issues of GYW. The GYW empowered by YADNET are often identified by other child rights CSOs and fronted to the different advocacy spaces and platforms where they can represent the voices of the fellow girls in their communities. In 2023, 2 she Leads GYW were given platforms by different CSOs to engage and discuss issues that affect GYW in the community. Oganise a series of capacity building sessions on selected policies at national level YADNET participated in capacity strengthening trainings organized by Plan international Uganda including safeguarding, human rights, lobby and advocacy, project management and proposal writing, report writing, Financial management and procurement. For the identified gaps, capacity building sessions in form of trainings, learning visits, field technical support were provided on quartely basis. As a result the partner revised their HR, procurement and financial policies so as to manage the project better. The partner put in place a reporting procedure for GYW and focal persons for reporting safeguarding concerns. The partner improved on their financial and narrative reports quality, for the procurement gaps, they revised their procurement policies which has guided identification of service providers. The field visits, joint monitoring and face to face sessions were effective because they had a hands-on approach.

Plan International Uganda did not engage formally registered GYW-led organizations. Instead, capacity support has been provided to smaller, informal GYW-led groups. All the 38 She Leads groups in-and out of school were mentored by TMF and YADNET in Lobby and Advocacy which strengthened the capacity of GYW-led groups in organizational development aspects that contributed towards their sustainability. No formal GYW-led CSOs (tier 2) engaged. But TMF, YADNET and Plan International Uganda will continue to strengthen the capacity of GYW led groups and CBOs in Kampala, Buyende and Kamuli in resource mobilization, leveraging on technology for advocacy. TMF, YADNET and Plan International Uganda built the capacity of GYW led groups and CBOs in Kampala, Buyende and Kamuli in resource mobilization and organizational capacity to manage group funds. Twelve groups registered as CBOs at government offices. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 Plan International Plan has capacity on gender transformative programming and is fully able to advance woman's right and gender equality(our core business) Plan international Capacity strengthening of Plan Uganda has already been reported in 2021. Plan International Uganda has shown progress in piloting new innovative ways of funding informal GYW-led groups. The organization has also become more effective in linking GYW-led groups to other funding and economic empowerment opportunities outside of the programme. Increased capacity of Plan International Uganda to engage with girls and (young) women's rights organizations and support their capacity for advocacy has been reported in previous years.

However, trainings were held on financial management and safeguarding. We expect that the capacity strengthening investments will pay off during 2023. TMF was trained on the champion of change model for gender transformative programming, safeguarding of girls and young women, proposal writing and financial management. The joint CSO engagements supported by the She Leads project have created room for discussions on coordinated CSO efforts in designing and implementing joint intiatives that promote the rights of GYW. The continuos engagements have created room for consensus on the steps that need to be taken to address the exisiting gaps in coordination and harmonization of efforts to address the critical needs of GYW, including their participation in decision making processes. Partner TMF increased capacity has already been reported in the 2023 annual report. Continued capacity support provided on topics like safeguarding, financial management, lobby and advocacy, girls' movement building, Monitoring and evaluation, project management and proposal writing. The capacity building sessions were conducted in form of face to face /online trainings, exchange learning visits and field technical support provided on quartely basis. TMF demostrated improvement in its monitoring and reporting skills, compliance to safeguarding policy in project activities. The partner put in place safeguarding focal persons and a safeguarding reporting procedure for GYW. They successfully guided girls' groups on proposal writing including winners never quit, Go Girl, Tusobola youth group, Young stars, Bulube Women's group among others and they received funding from Plan international to implement group-based activities.

Focus in 2025 is to ensure that the GYW groups have proper structures within their leadership and registered membership Plan International Uganda and partners initially targeted 39 GYW groups, but successfully worked with 35 groups, as 4 groups dropped off. The dropouts resulted from internal conflicts within the groups, migration of members who could no longer attend meetings, and others joining boarding schools, which limited their participation. In a few cases, group leaders became unreachable, disrupting coordination and continuity. Lobby other CBOs to increase representation for Girls and Young women This was a misconception on target as the GYW led CSOs that are receiving direct funding are considered Tier 3. Through the She Leads initiative, Girls and Young Women (GYW) have successfully stepped into leadership roles both at school and within their communities, for example as elected Head Prefects in primary school. Additionally, 2 She Leads advocates were elected to the Plan International Kamuli Youth Advisory Panel Executive leadership structure among others. They are actively influencing decision-making, inspiring their peers, and driving positive change. This progress demonstrates the program’s impact in fostering confidence, leadership skills, and advocacy among GYW, empowering them to become changemakers in their environments. On 26th July 2024 at the Parliament of Uganda, one of the She Leads girls was elected as the motion setter. She introduced a call to action on ending child hunger and malnutrition, which was later tabled and debated on the floor of Parliament. The lobby meeting with the Busoga Kingdom provided a valuable platform for Girls and Young Women (GYW) to actively participate in decision-making processes. As a result, the kingdom agreed to incorporate the GYW's recommendations into its child safeguarding policy. Additionally, the meeting led to a commitment from the kingdom to establish a Children’s Parliament, with participants to be equally selected from all counties within the kingdom. This collaborative effort marks a significant step toward ensuring greater representation and the protection of children’s rights across the region. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 The two implementing partners(young women led) Partners are network organization that a number of youth led-organizations. 2 implementing partners During 2022, YADNET, a youth-led organization itself, managed to enhance the representation of its GYW groups at national level. Its capacity strengthening has already been included in the 2021 indicator value. YADNET conducted advocacy engagement meetings where GYWs engaged Busoga cultural leaders, especially the Isabalangiras (Chief Princes of the Chiefdoms) on how GYWs can take part in decision making processes within the cultural institution) during which they were able to identify the gap in youth representation, most especially GYW meaningful participation in decision-making and leadership. In June 2023, 4 GYW (1 from Kamuli and 3 from Buyende) were appointed to serve as representatives on the Busoga Youth Lukiiko, a youth decision making platform that contributes to the decision making processess within the Busoga Kingdom. Increased capacity of this partner has been reported in previous years. After building the capacity of YADNET on inclusive programming, the partner made policies and guidelines for institutionalization to increase the direct representation of girls within its structure. As a result, one young woman has joined the YADNET Board. One girl chosen as the representative on the Board of YADNET These are affiliated CSO's targeted for increased representation of Girls and young women in their organizations 13 organizations improved their representation of girls and young women These are affiliated CSO's In the originally set target, CSO were included which are not first or second tier partners of the She Leads. Therefore, the target has lost its relevance. The CSO referred to in this indicator, is Plan International Uganda. Plan successfully expanded its representational role of Ugandan GYW at national, regional and international levels. This target refers to Plan International Uganda. Its ability to represent the constituency of GYW has been reported in 2022. Plan International Uganda to set Youth advisory panel of 10 members per district and a country youth advisory panel. Plan International Uganda organized Youth Advisory Panel of 10 members per district and a country Youth Advisory Panel. At the start of the programme, the value for this indicator is 0 these are 2 implementing partners 2 implementing partners(are fully engaging their constituencies in their programming. Implementing partner Partner organization TMF managed to enhance the representation of GYW at district level Partner CSO TMF increased capacity has been reported in 2022 Following organisational trainings on lobby and advocacy, TMF adopted continuous lobby engagements as opposed to having ad hoc lobby meetings on national days such as IWD, IDGC. As such, the organisation conducted quarterly stakeholders’ engagement meetings where She-Leads GYWs shared with the sub counties key stakeholders about their problems and needs. Build capacity of the organization in diversity and inclusion programming to further strengthen capacity to engage GYW with special needs. Plan International Uganda build capacity of partner TMF in diversity and inclusion programming which further strengthened capacity to engage GYW with special needs. With this, policies and guidelines were institutionalized for representation of girls and one girl was selected as a representative in TMF leadership structure. One girl has been elected as representative on the Board of TMF. This is another sign of TMF's increased capacity to meaningfully engage GYW in its governance. NL-KVK-41198890-ECU100271 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY University Scholarships will be awarded to 25 talented, highly motivated and committed youngsters, from marginalized backgrounds with a focus on young women. Delivery of the scholarships will be done through the already established model, and include as well strengthening digital skills, project management and entrepreneurship skills, in order to increase employability opportunities for scholars in the new post COVID-19 context. Poverty levels in Ecuador remain high with a percentage of 37,1% and extreme poverty of 14.11%; and raises at alarming levels in remote provinces like Santa Elena, where 61.9% of the population live in poverty (INEC- Censo 2010), and 29.9% in extreme poverty. In this province, out of 100 children attending primary school, 50.4% are boys and 49.6% are girls. However, when looking at numbers for secondary education, this gender gap deepens bringing it up to 54% of teenage boys and 46% of teenage girls having enrolled. At university level, despite the fact that there are no official numbers, this tendency worsens due to youth pregnancy and limited family income. Additionally, the low quality of secondary education in Santa Elena doesn’t allow students to succeed at the national university entry exam. Therefore, most of the local university students come from other provinces, and the curriculum options offered by these universities do not match local market needs. Santa Elena needs to prepare professionals for jobs related to its geographical reality and the local industry. Youngsters with no studies have more difficulties finding decent jobs, giving back to their communities, breaking the cycle of poverty and climbing the socio-economic ladder, and helping to build a healthy and strong country. Most of the economically active population in Santa Elena is underemployed, with rates reaching up to 73.3% for women and 63.6% for men, and unemployment rates of 11% for women and 8.3% for men. Based upon pre set selection criteria appropiate students will be selected by Plan Ecuador. Students will then be supported to take the required entry test to enter university. If they pass they will start with their chosen study, which should qualify as labour market relevant as assessed through a market assessement exercise done by Plan. Students will then be mentored, guided and supported while going through their academic year, both in financial terms as in life skills training. Upon graduation students will be supported to the world of work. Upon signing a employee contract at least 50% of the students will start contributing to the revolving fund as agreed beforehand to ensure new students can enter the program. Universities, employers and alumni will be actively involved in the program to strengthen it and ensure sustainability. Since 2015, Plan Ecuador has been developing scholarship programs aimed to support students to complete high school, but, even though they are intelligent and motivated, they have not been able to access to higher education due to the lack of economic resources. Research on what careers students can pursue if they get a scholarship to cover their expenses (transportation, food, internet, study materials) has been carried out as they live in communities far away from universities and come from low-income families that are not able to pay those indirect fees. Students usually come from single-teacher schools, therefore, their levels of knowledge about basic sciences (maths, physics, geometry and chemistry) are low so it is necessary to establish partnerships with universities to provide students with extra tutoring in order for them to acquire all the required knowledge. Strengthen the family is necessary in order for them to support students. Parents usually only finished elementary school, however, they value education and want their sons and daughters to go to university. The process of change done by this project is very important as it allows students from low-income families to change their family history by being the first ones to access to higher education and they will likely generate greater income. 25 Mixed-race youngsters from poor households who are living in the Province of Santa Elena (in an area where Plan is working) and are between 17 and 25 years old and are not benefiting from another educational grant. Delivering monthly scholarships to 25 students. Carrying out family visits to address situations such as: low academic performance, indiscipline, low motivation, death of relatives. Monthly meetings with the Student Scholarship Network in order to exchange ideas on how to improve interaction between Plan scholarship holders and the community in general, to disseminate the scholarships project, and to motivate other young people to pursue university studies. Monthly meetings with teachers to monitor attendance and academic performance. Facilitating "Dialogue First” workshops aimed at strengthening assertive communication. Facilitating theater-improvisation workshops aimed to develop authenticity and overcome fear. Organizing workshops on interviews with the objective of increasing the chances of success of jobseekers, in situations of job interviews, providing theoretical and practical knowledge. Having a debate on self-esteem and gender equality. Organizing youth entrepreneurship fairs where 10 productive undertakings developed by participants of the university scholarships project will be exhibited. Partnerships with the Santa Elena University and Private Technical Universities have been established in order for them to provide students from low-income families who are participating in our projects with scholarships. Also an strategy to seek funds through private corporations is being designed.

NL-KVK-41198890-DtZ BBB Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY (Down to Zero; BBB parent) The Down to Zero (DtZ) Building Back Better programme is carried out in 12 countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia. The goal is to ensure that children and youth are better protected when they are at risk or a victim of sexual exploitation, during and in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Plan International Netherlands supports this programme in Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Nepal and the Philippines from April 2021 through March 2022. The DtZ alliance consists of Terre des Hommes, Plan International, Defence for Children-ECPAT, Free a Girl and ICCO (part of Cordaid). Together we will protect children, help them rehabilitate and reduce their vulnerability to SEC (Sexual Exploitation of Children). We will enable them to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response. We will encourage parents, caregivers and community leaders to provide a protective shield. We will also work with child protection system actors, governments and the private sector. This activity forms part of the Building Back Better (BBB) in times of Covid-19, Fighting SEC on the Rise programme. The programme will work in 12 countries in Latin America and South and South East Asia: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, and the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh and Nepal. The selected countries have particular high risks of SEC as well as compromised capacity of the child protection system. They are highly affected by the Covid-19 related trends, with the impact of travel and tourism being an integral part of their context. The programme will also address cross-border SEC such as along the Colombia Peru, Brazil-Bolivia-Peru and India-Nepal-Bangladesh borders. In the BBB Programme the overall goal is to ensure that children and youth are better protected when at risk or victim of sexual exploitation in times of crisis, such as currently with Covid-19. This will be achieved through five (5) outcomes: 1. Children (in particular victims and those at risk of SEC) are able to access specialised services that protect them, help them rehabilitate, reintegrate and reduce their vulnerability to SEC in the context of Covid-19. 2. Children and youth are able to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response in the context of Covid-19. 3. Parents, caregivers, and community leaders are strengthened to provide a protective shield around children against SEC, in the context of Covid-19. 4. Actors in the Child Protection System are strengthened in multi-stakeholder settings to prevent and advocate for protection from SEC, in the context of Covid-19. 5. Intergovernmental bodies at regional and international level, governments and the private sector prioritize SEC within the wider child protection agenda in building back better during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. It contributes to a functional, inclusive, gender and age responsive Child Protection System. More efficient and effective services will be delivered by promoting coordination and networking and catalyzing joint actions between actors working on child protection and violence against children (including health care, law enforcement and judiciary, and education). The programme will build and expand on the Alliance’s collective achievements to date, scaling up the 2016-2020 Down to Zero (DtZ) programme and being complementary to the 2020-2021 Voice for Change (VfC) programme38. This will allow the Alliance and its partners to effectively address SEC in the rapidly evolving context during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The Building Back Better programme in Nepal and the Philippines also builds on the Girls Advocacy programme. In the GA programme, capacity of CSOs has been built to address harmful practices and youth have been supported to become active agents of change and youth advocates. Plan International Nepal and the Philippines join the Down to Zero alliance as new members and bring to the country teams a rich experience of working with schools, children and youth, local communities, government at local and national level, CSO networks, internet service providers and other service providers. Plan in the Dominican Republic has participated in all previous DtZ programming and Brazil participated in DtZ 1 but not in Voice for Change. The key target group (and final beneficiaries) of the programme are girls and boys up to 18 years old, who are victims and survivors and those at risk of SEC. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. The programme aims to contribute to a fully functional, well funded, inclusive, and gender and age responsive Child Protection System (see Text Box). Using a rights based approach together with a systems approach, the Alliance will work with key actors to develop and implement strong and sustainable national Child Protection Systems (CPS), which will include coordination between formal and informal structures. More efficient and effective services will be delivered by taking a broad perspective, promoting coordination and networking and catalyzing joint actions between actors working on child protection and violence against children (including health care, law enforcement and judiciary, and education). The Alliance sees capacity building as a key intervention strategy and achieves this in multiple ways. We continue to build the capacity of our implementing partners on e.g. gender (including implementation toolkit boys and SEC), child safeguarding and adaptive programming. We are strengthening the capacity and role of CSO’s, e.g. in influencing and holding duty bearers accountable, monitoring the implementation of child protection policies and gender responsive SEC response services. We are strengthening the capacity of local government actors to budget and implement policies in a gender responsive and inclusive way. We are strengthening the environment of children by building the capacity of families to provide care and protection. We are supporting communities to work together to protect children through community based child protection mechanisms. We are empowering children and youth to take on an active role in their own protection, strengthening their advocacy skills and peer-to-peer work. Lobbying & Advocacy is built into the programme at all levels, focusing on the urgency of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and building on the L&A achievements of 2016-2020. Where safely and meaningfully possible, children and youth collaborate with partners in advocacy, or even lead advocacy themselves. Together with, or led by our local partners, we aim to influence stakeholders at various levels. The programme will mobilize and influence parents, schools, community leaders and service providers to ignore this role in SEC prevention and response, including reintegration of victims and promotion of community based CPS. The programme will influence governments including LEAs and private sector actors through multi-stakeholder collaborations to jointly prevent and respond to SEC. We will influence regional and international intergovernmental bodies to prioritize the issue of SEC. We will bring local perspectives to the regional and international stage, and follow up on international and regional developments in-country. Capacity strengthening: The programme strengthens CPS (at national and community levels) to deliver positive lasting change for children at risk or victims of SEC and their families, beyond the programme’s lifetime. Strengthening the agency of children, parents and community child protection committees will last beyond the programme as well. Policy and practice change: The programme works towards institutional monitoring, referral and coordination mechanisms across stakeholders, e.g. by developing National Action Plans to which partners commit. It further aims for policy change and implementation. Businesses adhering to The Code will do so beyond the duration of the programme. Social change: The programme contributes to dismantling the culture of silence and impunity surrounding SEC and promotes attitude change among communities and stakeholders in support of zero tolerance for SEC. Instilling new social norms around preventing and eradicating SEC, including deeply entrenched taboos around boys and SEC, will create an environment in which children, their families and communities oppose to and stand up against SEC.

To strengthen child protection systems and mechanisms, and build back better from the aftermath of Covid-19, the Down to Zero alliance will implement the Building Back Better programme. It is implemented by Plan International, Terre des Hommes and DCI ECPAT and we will work with children and youth, parents and community leaders, actors in the child protection system and businesses. We will push for specialized services for victims and will support children and families by raising awareness, improving life skills and increasing economic resilience. The programme will help ensure that reporting, referral and coordination happens safely and effectively and that services are gender sensitive. Plan will work on the harmonisation of laws and policies and will collaborate with the Child Rights Network and Joining Forces Alliance to lobby and advocate for the elimination of SEC. This activity forms part of the Building Back Better (BBB) in times of Covid-19, Fighting SEC on the Rise programme. The programme will work in 12 countries in Latin America and South and South East Asia: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, and the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh and Nepal. The selected countries have particular high risks of SEC as well as compromised capacity of the child protection system. They are highly affected by the Covid-19 related trends, with the impact of travel and tourism being an integral part of their context. The programme will also address cross-border SEC such as along the Colombia Peru, Brazil-Bolivia-Peru and India-Nepal-Bangladesh borders. In the BBB Programme the overall goal is to ensure that children and youth are better protected when at risk or victim of sexual exploitation in times of crisis, such as currently with Covid-19. This will be achieved through five (5) outcomes: 1. Children (in particular victims and those at risk of SEC) are able to access specialised services that protect them, help them rehabilitate, reintegrate and reduce their vulnerability to SEC in the context of Covid-19. 2. Children and youth are able to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response in the context of Covid-19. 3. Parents, caregivers, and community leaders are strengthened to provide a protective shield around children against SEC, in the context of Covid-19. 4. Actors in the Child Protection System are strengthened in multi-stakeholder settings to prevent and advocate for protection from SEC, in the context of Covid-19. 5. Intergovernmental bodies at regional and international level, governments and the private sector prioritize SEC within the wider child protection agenda in building back better during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Plan International will work with a local NGO to implement the activities in the Bardya district. The objective of the project is to promote digital safety for children and youth from (online) sexual exploitation, (O)SEC, who are at risk during and in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Plan will work with them to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response. We will also work with parents, caregivers and community leaders to strengthen their capacity to provide a protective shield around children. Child Protection System actors will be strengthened to prevent and respond to SEC. At a national, regional and international level we will urge governments, intergovernmental organisations and the private sector to support and prioritise the prevention of SEC within the wider child protection agenda.

NL-KVK-41198890-SDN100338 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The Sudan Joint Response 2021 is the third annual cycle in the DRA Protracted Crisis Joint Response. It will be implemented through a consortium led by Plan Netherlands and membered by World Vision and ICCO in addition to local partners. The joint budget is allocated by the Sudan Joint Response partners and set aside to facilitate regional meetings (including learning), capacity building of partners, travel and security costs as well as the salary of the Sudan Joint Response Field Coordinator and a contribution to the Finance and M&E staff of Plan Sudan supporting the Joint Response as a whole. The budget is managed by Plan International, in its role as SDNJR lead, but budget utilization is subject to agreements within the consortium. So-called action plans are defined by the SDNJR members during the SDNJR kick-off workshop indicating, on headlines, utilization of the joint budget. The joint budget supports the SDNJR programme and project activities. Almost 2 years after the start of the political transition in Sudan, humanitarian needs continue to grow across the country, despite progress made in the implementation of the transition period and the peace process. The situation is driven by an economic crisis, and exacerbated by COVID-19 containment measures and protracted internal displacement, as well as unprecedented flooding in 2020 and disease outbreaks. More 1.1 million refugees and asylum seekers continue to be hosted by Sudan. According to the 2021 Humanitarian Needs Overview, 13.4 million people – 29 per cent of the population – will need humanitarian assistance throughout 2021. This is 4.1 million people more compared to 2020 and an increase of 44 per cent in the year. Overall, the number of people in need in Sudan in 2021 is the highest reported in the past decade. Of the 13.4 million people in need, about 7.3 million need emergency assistance for lifethreatening needs related to critical physical and mental well-being. South Kordofan and North Darfur continue to display highest humanitarian needs. Khartoum has been added to the Joint Response due to the high level of COVID cases, the continued challenges with displacement in urban settings and the effects of the economic crisis. The SDNJR3 collaboration consists out of Plan International (lead), World Vision, ICCO, Norwegian Church Aid and national partners ERRADA, NIDAA, DDRA, Ahfad Women’s University, Vet-Care Organization, Sustainably Action Group (SAG), ASSIST and CAFA. The SDNJR aims to serve beneficiaries with an integrated FSL, WASH, Protection and Health response through complementary programming in North Darfur, South Kordofan and Khartoum. The SDNJR members continue and intensify the response to Gender Based Violence (GBV) including harmful practices and access to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) in North Darfur and expand these services to South Kordofan and Khartoum. In addition, the SDNJR includes Protection programming in Al-Gadaref in response to the refugee influx from Ethiopia as a result of the Tigray conflict. The SDNJR3 aims to reach 257,732 people with life-saving services and information. The Joint Budget aims to enhance collaboration, accountability, innovation and localization, aligned with the DRA strategic objectives. The Sudan Joint Response 3 aims to address the needs in 2021 by providing 257.732 people with multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in Khartoum, North- Darfur and South Kordofan, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response by Dutch NGOs, local partners and actors.

The past two years have seen a sharp deterioration in the security situation across Burkina Faso’s northern and eastern regions (large parts of the East, Central North, North, Sahel and Boucle du Mouhoun regions) due to the presence of non-state armed groups – many with cross-border ties to extremists groups or movements in neighboring Mali and Niger (OCHA Situation Report, November 2021). Armed violence has caused massive population displacements, while civilians are increasingly targeted. A state of emergency remains in 14 out of the 45 provinces. FEWS NET (October 2021) reports that the third quarter of 2021 saw the number of security incidents in the north and east more than double compared to the same period in 2020 (Figure 1). The number of security incidents links up with the increasing number of people in need and/or food insecure. Recent REACH monitoring confirms that insecurity (presence of armed groups / community tensions) remained the main push factor that forced IDPs to flee their home locality. The security incidents clearly are the trigger for people to leave their homes and result in a steadily increasing number of displaced. The overarching objective of the JR is to provide 104.851 affected people with life-saving and life-sustaining goods and services. The DRA partners have designed their response based on needs and gaps in line with cluster recommendations, their technical expertise and complementarity with other interventions to maximize impact. The response is a multi-sector approach with holistic WASH, Health, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), and Protection programs supported by MPC. The response will contribute amongst others to the following objectives from the HRP (April, 2021): SO1: By 2021, 1.3 million people receive emergency humanitarian assistance to reduce morbidity and mortality, alleviate suffering and strengthen the protection of civilians. SO2: Improved access to services for target population. SO3: By 2021, protection needs and respect for human rights of 2 million women, men, girls, boys and people living with disabilities affected by the crisis will be ensured. This JR prioritizes IDPs fleeing conflict, especially newly displaced people. Priority is given to crisis-affected vulnerable families with pre-existing vulnerabilities before the crisis, and who have suffered human loss, loss of assets or livelihoods. Special attention will be given to displaced households in overpopulated temporary resettlement camps.

Plan Nederland will implement its project in Malakal, continues to respond to increasing protection concerns, and will help to reach more vulnerable HHs with FSL supports and MPC assistance to address severe food insecurity reported. Plan will reach 13.715 vulnerable people. Prior to the emergence of the COVID-19 threat, more than half of South Sudan’s population, 6.5 million people out of nearly 12 million, were expected to face severe food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 and above) at the height of the annual hunger season (May-July 2020) . Malakal is at IPC 4 level (sever food insecurity), mainly inhabited by IDPs and returnees. There is significant increase in teenage pregnancy and abortion. Child marriage, sexual violence, self-harm and psychological distress in Malakal continues to increase, heavy rain and subsequent floods forced many people to move to Malakal from the surrounding flood affected counties. Malakal has unmet FSL, MPC and protection needs as FSL partners faced funding shortage and WFP also reduced the quantity of food ration per HH. Increasing returnees to Malakal created stress on existing humanitarian services (protection, FSL and MPC). Congested settlement coupled with COVID 19 restrictions and food insecurity has resulted in increasing protection concerns such as early/forced marriage, teenage pregnancy, abortion, self-harm/psychological harm and child labor as adolescents and families tend to adapt negative coping mechanisms. The SSJR program will continue to provide life-saving assistance and aim to enhance the transition from humanitarian assistance to resilience programming, addressing root causes, enabling vulnerable and at-risk communities to build resilience to acute shocks and chronic stresses, and recover from crisis. Lastly, the SSJR program will continue to address critical problems relating to physical and mental wellbeing, strongly reinforcing protection throughout the program, both integrated within other sectors, and as a separate sector. The Alliance will continue to all 2020 HRP strategic objectives and will support efforts in containing and preventing the spread of COVID-19 while employing a COVID-19 adapted approach to respond to the ongoing emergency. Plan continues to respond to an increasing protection concerns and will scale up GBV, CP, PSS and case management interventions to support additional children affected by sexual health and protection concerns in Malakal. It will help to reach more vulnerable HHs with FSL supports and MPC assistance to address sever food insecurity reported in Malakal. The SSJR7 is a continuation of the South Sudan program funded by the Dutch Relief Alliance. The target group for the SSJR 2021 will continue to target the most vulnerable households amongst IDPS, returnees and host communities, with a particular focus on child-headed households, female headed households, PLW, elderly, households with children facing SAM/MAM, malnourished children, youth, vulnerable adolescent boys and girls. In Malakal Town and Malakal PoC, 13.715 vulnerable people will benefit from FSL, MPC and Protection support provided by Plan. JR locations have seen an increasing number of returnees from refugee and IDP camps and flood affected areas, which have created stress on existing humanitarian services. Congested settlement, coupled with COVID-19 restrictions and food insecurity, has resulted in increasing protection concerns as adolescents and families tend to adapt negative coping mechanisms. Therefore, Plan will increase the Protection support provided in 2021. Plan will continue to use the innovative Up2U card to distribute cash to beneficiaries in 2021, and more CFW activities have been planned for, seeing their success in 2020, and also taking into consideration the need for more roads leading to schools and socio-economic centres (market/churches) will need to be cleared to facilitate everyday life, especially as more displaced people return to Malakal. Considering the impact of school and CFS closure on GBV and CP activities in 2020, in 2021 small group-based approaches will be used to reach adolescent girls and children. Activities per sector: Plan will provide training/coaching on agro-practices, agricultural inputs (crops and vegetable seeds) and cash to protect livelihood assets to 500 vulnerable HH. Regular price monitoring will be done to ensure CVA programming is and remain possible; conditional cash will be provided in the form of e-vouchers using the Up2U system for 4 months. 4 events will be organised to raise awareness on SRHR, GBV and MHM and 2 Intergenerational dialogues to discuss CEFM and SRHR. 12 Adolescent clubs (AC) and 4 Youth Clubs (YC) members ( 300 individuals) will be trained and coached on basic GBV, SRHR, gender equality, dialoguing and awareness raising methods as well as on their roles and responsibilities and they will be engaged in GBV safety audits and Risk and Resources Mapping. 50 Adolescent mothers will be trained on positive parenting, basics of GBV, MHM and SRHR. 150 teachers and other educational personal, 80 traditional and religious leaders and 80 staff from service providers and line ministries will be trained on adolescent development, including SRHR, gender equality and GBV, incl. referral pathways. 310 adolescent girls at risk of GBV will be sensitized on GBV and MHM and provided with dignity kits to protect them from GBV, along with 5 matrons in school. Support will be provided to Youth Unions to perform group activities for child and youth well-being, especially sports. 150 most vulnerable HHs (900 indiv.) unable to participate in the CFW, nor farming, will be provided with unconditional multipurpose cash. Unconditional cash will be provided in the form of physical cash for 4 months. 300 vulnerable HH (1800 indiv.) will be provided with conditional multipurpose cash in the frame of a Cash for Work program to contribute to the rehabilitation of community assets. Plan will continue to strengthen the capacities of their local partners as part of the ongoing project through training and on the job support. Localization efforts in 2021 will include additional activities to ensure that as a SSJR, we contribute to ensuring we amplify local voices. Joint coordination budget will be used to improve visibility of local partners and make it a priority to improve it nationally and internationally, and budget has also been reserved to ensure our partners are able to participate in regional and/or global meetings and discussions related to localization, and to ensure that they are able to share experiences and learning at these engagements.

This project is a collaboration between the Dutch Relief Alliance partners to ensure the deliverance of immediate, lifesaving assistance to people in need, as well as focusing on early recovery and rehabilitation and re-establishing critical services. The Joint Response will ensure access to shelter solutions in the direct aftermath of the flooding, food security by restoring lost food stock, livestock and agricultural lands and the provision of cash assistance, as well as ensure access to drinking water, hygiene supplies and access to basic public services. Protection of women and children is mainstreamed throughout the response. A total of 116.324 people in the four provinces among the most affected by the flooding and typhoon Molave, including Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Ha Tinh and Quang Nam will benefit from lifesaving goods and services. Since 6 October 2020, the Central region of Viet Nam has been experiencing prolonged heavy rainfall as a result of a combination of numerous weather systems; Tropical Storm LINFA, Tropical Storm NANGKA, and the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone combined with cold air. Besides the existing flooding and ongoing rainfall, Typhoon Molave hit Viet Nam in the morning of October 28th. Molave made landfall between Quang Ngai and Quang Nam provinces (central Viet Nam) as a typhoon before dissipating on 29 October. According to UNOCHA, landslides triggered by heavy rain in Quang Nam Province resulted in at least 68 fatalities. In total, due to the typhoon and the flooding, more than 374.631 people have been evacuated. Millions were left without electricity and an additional 56,000 houses damaged. According to the UN FRP an estimated 7.7 million people live in areas affected by flooding caused by the multiple storms and typhoon, with some 1.5 million people in nine provinces directly affected. Of those people directly affected by the current disaster, some 753,000 are women and girls, 134,000 are children under five, and 143,000 are over 65 years old. A rapid needs assessment conducted by UNICEF, identified 1,5 million children at risk. The JR proposes a multi-sectoral response to the typhoon and flooding, taking into account immediate relief as well as early recovery in a phased approach, in line with the UN Floods Response Plan which puts forward this phased approach (see UN Sector Analysis). The JR will be implemented in the four provinces among the most affected by the flooding and typhoon Molave, including Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Ha Tinh and Quang Nam. The VNMJR commits itself to 2 of the 4 objectives set out in the Viet Nam Flood HRP: 1. Deliver immediate, lifesaving assistance to those with the most urgent needs, in support of the Government response and in line with Government requests for assistance. 2. Ensure access to multi sectoral assistance and reestablish critical services. Promote the repair of key public service infrastructure in affected provinces, ensure food security, by restoring lost food stock, livestock and livelihoods, ensure access to sustainable drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene supplies, housing, replacement of productive assets and household items, and access to basic medical, social and public services to support the affected population transition to recovery and rebuild their lives and livelihoods. The JR will be implemented by four DRA-members, Plan International, CARE, Oxfam Novib and World Vision, in coordination and partnership with local partners in Viet Nam. All four members have an existing humanitarian portfolio in Viet Nam and have been responding to the flooding since the beginning of October. Partners have engaged in a Rapid Needs Assessment jointly in the second half of October, which has informed the JR. All partners have offices and/or local partner offices in the response areas and humanitarian staff in-country, including fully operational Emergency Response Teams. Partners have been responding to the typhoon, mainly in the immediate response phase through the distribution of NFIs, including hygiene kits and household items. All partners have a solid track-record in the sectors, particularly FSL, WASH and Protection, both in humanitarian and development contexts. In-country, partners engage in the Working Groups and UN coordination mechanisms to ensure programming is well-coordinated and in line with sector-wide standards. The target group for the response includes those affected by flooding and heavy rainfall. Priority is given to vulnerable families with pre-existing vulnerabilities before the disaster, taking into account the Minimum Expenditure Basket, and who have suffered human loss, loss of house, assets or livelihoods. The response uses a multi-sector approach with holistic Shelter/NFIs, WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) and Protection programs. Core activities are: Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL): The JR works to ensure people are able to meet their basic food needs (FSC-I2) and are provided with resources to protect and start rebuilding their livelihoods (FSC-I1). This includes the following activities: - Provision of food baskets to the families with vulnerable children and other poor, vulnerable groups such as the elderly, People with Disability (PwD), lactating women; female-headed families. Noting that immediate food needs are met by other partners and the government of Viet Nam, this will be a small component and this JR mainly focuses on medium-term FSL support and cash grants, as described below. - Execution of a livelihoods/market assessment to determine the agricultural needs and the feasibility of cash grants. - Provision of technical training to support livelihood recovery activities. - Provision of conditional cash grants for agricultural support and production inputs for small-holders farms and households to support short crops recovery. Shelter/Non-Food Items (NFI): The JR focuses on individual household shelters and non-food items to ensure people in the direct aftermath of the floods have access to dignified and safe shelter solutions (SHL-I1) and NFIs (SHL-I4), including: - Provision of household kits in response to the destruction of assets in the households, taking into account winterization, ensuring particularly children have warm clothing for when temperatures decrease to less than 15 degrees. - Provision of constructions materials for repair for vulnerable families whose houses have been damaged. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): The JR WASH response focuses around ensuring access to safe and sufficient water (WSH-I4), hygiene promotion and provision of soaps (WSH-I1) and hygiene promotion (WSH-I6) through reaching people with awareness programming. This includes the following activities: - Improving access to clean water through water testing, distribution of household-led water treatment solutions and provision of water containers and water taps to people and communities without access to clean water. - Reparation and installment of damaged small-scale water supply facilities. - Distribution of gender-sensitive hygiene kits, including soap and cleaning materials and taking into account Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), particularly for girls and women in evacuation centers. - Organization of information campaigns to promote hygiene measures, also taking into account the risks of COVID-19. Multi-purpose cash (MPC): The JR provides both unconditional (CSH-I1) and conditional (CSH-I2) unrestricted cash assistance to beneficiaries based on their situations and identified needs: - Distribution of unconditional multi-purpose cash grants in line with Viet Nam’s CWG’s Minimum Expenditure Basket guidance, as the markets are mostly functioning, and people have suffered significant loss of livelihoods due to the floods and exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdown. - Provision of conditional cash grants/Cash for Work (C4W) opportunities to selected households. Partners will work with affected populations to identify livelihood opportunities, including basic repair and public work in the early recovery phase. Protection: The JR mainstreams protection throughout the response is in line with HRP objectives, and also ensures specific programming to ensure people receive an appropriate response to protection risks (PRO-I2), are provided with information (PRO-I5) and children receive support specific to their needs (PRO-I15). This includes: - Organization of psychosocial support (PSS) groups and other group activities for affected children in Child-Friendly Spaces inside primary schools. - Awareness-raising and training on Protection issues.

R1 and R2 target conflict-affected populations impacted by the Northern Crisis in Tigray, Amhara, Afar, and IDPs and vulnerable host communities affected by inter-ethnic violence in Metekel (BG). This IDP response starts in June 2022, with the Metekel component kicking off in July 2023 once the ongoing ECHO project (ETH102313) is concluded, and ending in June 2025. R3 and R4 target refugees residing in Tsore (BG), Nguenyyiel (Gambella) and Alemwach (Amhara), with operations starting in July 2023 and ending in June 2025. R1 (Protection) and R2 (EiE) are implemented by Plan, together with its consortium partners Actionaid (12-month GBV response in Amhara and Tigray), World Vision (34-month EiE and CP response in Tigray), imagine1day (34-month EiE response in Amhara and Tigray). R3 and R4 are implemented by Plan alone (24 months). Ethiopia is dealing with large numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons, in addition to ongoing drought. While a peace agreement in November 2022 formally ended the northern conflict, high humanitarian needs due to the conflict remain and leave many people internally displaced. In Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz, there is a large number of South Sudanese refugees. The influx of refugees is expected to persist and might even increase, while the Regional Refugee Response Plan is severely underfunded. The deficit in funding coupled with high humanitarian needs has a direct impact on the delivery of assistance to at-risk populations, including unaccompanied and separated children, female-headed households, survivors and at-risk children of different forms of abuse, violence, neglect and exploitation. The high number of vulnerable children, coupled with the deterioration of the context due to Covid-19, the recent conflict, and the ongoing influx of refugees, place CPiE and EiE as high priorities in both the western regions of Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz, and the northern regions of Amhara, Afar and Tigray. See "O:\IP\4 Programma's\Projecten\ETH102368 ECHO 2022 Northern Crisis\Key documents\1. Proposal\HIP2023 MR\2022_00257_MR_03_03_17-May-23.pdf" p. 8 for more information. The principal objective of this Action is to promote access to basic services for conflict-affected populations, including IDPs, returnees and refugees, in Amhara, Afar, Tigray, Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz through integrated life-saving protection and education assistance. The specific objective is to provide age and gender-sensitive, inclusive and conflict-sensitive protection and education services to the most vulnerable conflict-affected IDPs, returnees, refugees in Amhara, Afar, Tigray, Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz regions of Ethiopia. The Action synergizes with several projects, building on interventions in WASH, child protection, health, education in emergencies, food security & livelihoods and nutrition. Plan's EUD project will serve as an important long-term education intervention complementing this response, particularly in Afar and Tigray. The nexus links will be followed up to ensure that children can attend well-equipped formal schools, while also providing continued access to education during displacement. In Tigray, this action also complements DANIDA and USAID projects respectively focusing on child protection and livelihoods. PIE’s BHA intervention in Tigray, Amhara and Afar will provide added value in terms of referral linkages particularly for students, given its multisectoral approach in child protection, WASH, health and nutrition. This Action will further be implemented in synergy with the UNHCR-funded project in Alemwach, which implements child protection. In Benishangul-Gumuz, the action will be linked to UNICEF, GFFO, LEGO Foundation and EU JOFA-funded projects, focusing on child protection and SRHR, which complement the intervention under ECHO. Conflict, displacement and poverty make protection risks particularly high for adolescent girls, a specific target of the project. Other groups prioritized: - Children separated from families - Children and women-headed households - Out-of-school children - GBV survivors - Pregnant women and lactating mothers - Families with persons with disabilities and elderly Protection activities will focus on: - Conducting joint child protection and GBV participatory protection risk assessments - Provision of comprehensive case management services for Unaccompanied and Separated Children, other vulnerable chidlren and their caregivers - Provide access to MHM materials to vulnerable women and girls through in-kind/cash assistance - Psychosocial support to children and women - Capacity building in child protection in emergencies and GBV to create a safer environment and improve quality of response. - Community dialogue events on addressing child protection risks and GBV - Establishment and strengthening of community-based protection structures through technical, material and training support - Strengthen coordination among child protection service providers, update service mapping and share lessons learned with partners to ensure that CP/GBV issues are mainstreamed in the entire humanitarian aid operation Education activities will focus on: - Rehabilitation and maintenance of existing school infrastructure and construction of new school infrastructure where necessary (including WASH facilities and furnishing) - Enabling and supporting the enrollment as well as the retention of girls and boys in formal primary education schools - Recruiting/retaining educational and supportive workers in formal primary schools through incentives - Ensuring a protective and inclusive learning environment - Ensuring access to supplies and scholastic materials for girls and boys in (non) formal primary education - Provision of MHM kits and training adolescent girls on life skills, SRH and on producing reusable sanitary pads - Capacity building of primary school teachers to improve educational outcomes - Organising accelerated school readiness programs or alternative learning programmes in IDP and other affected sites - Increase children's access to education in Nguenyyiel through the provision of the nonformal Accelerated Learning Programme - Establish and strengthen school-based community structures to improve education service delivery - Strengthening the participation of girls in education and supporting the improvement of their academic achievements The planned project consists primarily of lifesaving activities, but they all have a direct link with the current and future development initiatives. The project activities have strong capacity-building components for the affected community members, as well as national service providers, community structures, teachers, PTAs, local government agencies including health care providers, etc. These mentioned groups and institutions will be actively contributing to the community and government system, enhancing sustainably and supporting the current and future development initiatives. Further, by fostering children’s (re-)enrolment in schools, retention and ensuring basic primary education, the action will contribute to long-term strategies of reducing communities' humanitarian needs. Moreover, the psychosocial support interventions provided by the action will help beneficiaries develop adaptive behaviours and coping mechanisms within environments of existing and unforeseen humanitarian crises. By doing so this action contributes to other related multisector program objectives that aim to reduce communities humanitarian needs. World Vision Deutschland e.V.

See "O:\IP\4 Programma's\Projecten\ETH102368 ECHO 2022 Northern Crisis\Key documents\1. Proposal\HIP2023 MR\2022_00257_MR_03_03_17-May-23.pdf" p. 8 for more information. The principal objective of this Action is to promote access to basic services for conflict-affected populations, including IDPs, returnees and refugees, in Amhara, Afar, Tigray, Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz through integrated life-saving protection and education assistance. The specific objective is to provide age and gender-sensitive, inclusive and conflict-sensitive protection and education services to the most vulnerable conflict-affected IDPs, returnees, refugees in Amhara, Afar, Tigray, Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz regions of Ethiopia. The programme synergizes with several projects from consortium members, building on interventions in WASH, CPiE, Health, EiE, FSL and Nutrition. PIE’s EUD project will serve as an important long-term education intervention complementing this emergency EiE and CPiE response, particularly in Afar and Tigray. The nexus links will be followed up to ensure that children, IDPs and host communities, can attend in well-equipped formal schools, while also providing continued access to education during displacement. In Tigray, this action also complements DANIDA, USAID projects respectively focusing on CP and Livelihoods, and FS. PIE’s BHA intervention in Tigray, Amhara and Afar will provided added value in terms of referral linkages particularly for students, given its multisectoral approach in CP, WASH, Health and Nutrition. This Action will further be implemented in synergy with the UNHCR funded project in Alemwach, which implements CP. In BG, the action will be linked to UNICEF, GFFO, LEGO Foundation and EU JOFA-funded projects, focusing on CP and SRHR, which complement the EiE and CPiE intervention under ECHO. For more details on each project, please see Annex 4 ‘Synergies’. The EiE element in Waghemra will complement I1D’s My Home Project approach (MHP), which integrates EiE, CPiE and Life Skills as well as Plan’s BHA-funded intervention. The ECHO action will strengthen EiE, while providing referral linkages for other services. I1d is also implementing several projects in Tigray, focusing on education through community mobilization, WASH, entailing school-based WASH assistance, and on delivering non-formal education for crises-affected children and project with the aim of increasing access to protective and inclusive learning opportunities for crisis-affected children. I1D will complement PIE’s intervention, by expanding the beneficiary reach through the addition of Waghemra, Geralta and Saharti, while maintaining a similar approach to EiE. The existing WV general food distribution in Subuha Saisi Woreda supported by WFP & JEOP prioritized teachers to resume education, reduce absenteeism and children’s participation in their education. In Kilte Awlailo, a BHA supported project focusing on CP, Mobile Health, Shelter NFI and WASH also complements this action in connecting school based CP prevention and response activities of child protection concerns. The CP team working in the existing platform will integrate the CFS approach and referral system. Similarly, WASH sector in the same project is currently constructing communal potable water which will minizmize the effort to implement planned activities (school WASH and rehabilitation of latrines). WV is also working in Wukro and Kilteawlailo Woredas on providing scholastic materials for about 1500 children. MPCT intervention is also ongoing in its emergency response for registered children families contributes to increased enrolment. For AA, the Action will complement 1)EU CFS-funded ‘Amplify Efforts for Equal Opportunity and to End VAWG’ in North Shoa; 2) SPA II 2022-2025, funded by DANIDA, focusing on life saving response (food and protection).3) Medicore Tigray Humanitarian support: funded by the DPRF, 2021 –2022, and focused on emergency needs (protection, food and NFIs). 4) Women's Rights Programme (WRP II)_DFAT Irish Aid Programme II, funded by Irish Aid, 2017 – 31 Dec 2022, aimed at strengthening the resilience of women and build a safer environment from violence. 5) Alborda project, funded by private funds, 2021- 2022. The project provides MPCT, dignity kits; sensitisation on GBV for IDPs and PSS trauma management training and service. Conflict, displacement and poverty make protection risks particularly high for adolescent girls, a specific target of the project. Other groups prioritized: - Children separated from families - Children and women-headed households - Out-of-school children - GBV survivors - Pregnant women and lactating mothers - Families with persons with disabilities and elderly The planned project consists primarily of lifesaving activities, but they all have a direct link with the current and future development initiatives. The project activities have strong capacity-building components for the affected community members, as well as national service providers, community structures, teachers, PTAs, local government agencies including health care providers, etc. These mentioned groups and institutions will be actively contributing to the community and government system, enhancing sustainably and supporting the current and future development initiatives. Further, by fostering children’s (re-)enrolment in schools, retention and ensuring basic primary education, the action will contribute to long-term strategies of reducing communities' humanitarian needs. Moreover, the psychosocial support interventions provided by the action will help beneficiaries develop adaptive behaviours and coping mechanisms within environments of existing and unforeseen humanitarian crises. By doing so this action contributes to other related multisector program objectives that aim to reduce communities humanitarian needs.

The project aims to provide vouchers and cash to increase the availability of food and to meet the most acute lifesaving needs caused by the famine-like conditions. Together with a local partner, the project will be implemented in selected internally-displaced people (IDP) gathering sites in the Dar As Salaam locality in North Darfur. The project runs from 7 July 2024 until 31 December 2024. Even before the ongoing famine crisis, Sudan had 3.7 million displaced people in the country with dire humanitarian needs. The fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on multiple fronts have resulted in massive displacement, civilian deaths and injuries, and loss of livelihoods amid deteriorating economic conditions. The conflict has a substantial impact on the country’s food system and hinders people’s ability to cope with food shortages. Potentially the world’s worst hunger crisis could be observed in Sudan with already 18 million people acutely food insecure. North Darfur has continued to be affected by ongoing fighting, with over 2,778 households reportedly displaced to locations across Dar As Salam. From June to Sept 2024, 135,656 people in North Darfur are expected to be in IPC 5, which means even when using all of their coping strategies, people have almost no food and cannot support their basic needs. Plan and its local partner FPDO will provide both vouchers and cash assistance, with protection mainstreaming in the Dar As Salam locality (in North Darfur). The vouchers will be provided to 446 HHs (2676 individuals) in 3 rounds of $143 per HH. Cash is also included in this response as assessments and consultations suggested that many households may also require other items to meet their basic food needs (cooking utensils, firewood, etc).and that a full voucher approach may thus force some to sell their food to obtain these NFIs. The remaining 32% of the food basket will be provided in cash by FPDO ($67 per HH, in 3 rounds ,for 446 HH). Plan has already identified food suppliers who are able to provide the food basket in a manner more efficient than direct procurement. The distribution will be undertaken three times to cover the needs throughout the peak of the lean season. Strong protection mainstreaming is included during distribution in line with the Protection Cluster’s Protection Mainstreaming Toolkit and AAP mechanisms will be set up. Plan International is an active member of humanitarian coordination mechanisms including Child Protection, Education, WASH, Nutrition and FSL sectors. Plan is co-chair with UNOCHA of the Regional Cash Working Group (WG) and an active member of the Sudan Cash MEB Technical WGs. In North Darfur, Plan currently serves as co-chair of the Emergency Response Committee and coordinates the 3-year Joint Response Project (2024-2026) in Sudan. Plan will partner with FPDO, which is currently a partner with Plan in the 3-year Joint Response Project. Both organizations have active humanitarian response projects in North Darfur and have been participating in inter-agency assessments and in cluster mechanisms. Both partners have offices in North Darfur with existing technical and operational staff. In North Darfur, Plan and ZOA,(with their partners) will implement projects. Plan and ZOA have been coordinating on joint MEAL activities and harmonized cash/voucher values. Other Joint Response partners operate in Central Darfur (CD) and South Darfur (SD). Plan and FPDO will provide both vouchers and cash (446 HHs / 2676 individuals) with protection mainstreaming in the Dar As Salam locality (in North Darfur). The target includes 840 girls (under 18) and 786 boys (under 18). Plan and FPDO will provide both vouchers and cash assistance, with protection mainstreaming in the Dar As Salam locality. The vouchers will be provided to 446 HHs (2676 individuals) in 3 rounds of $143 per HH, which is 68% of the food basket used by the Cash Working Group and FS Cluster. Cash was included in this response as assessments and consultations suggested that many households may also require other items to meet their basic food needs (cooking utensils, firewood, etc).and that a full voucher approach may thus force some to sell their food to obtain these NFIs. The remaining 32% of the food basket will be provided in cash by FPDO ($67 per HH x3 for 446 HH). Plan has already identified food suppliers who are able to provide the food basket in a manner more efficient than direct procurement. The distribution will be undertaken three times to cover the needs throughout the peak of the lean season. Strong protection mainstreaming is included during distribution in line with the Protection Cluster’s Protection Mainstreaming Toolkit and AAP mechanisms will be set up, all building on the lessons learned from the PCJR. FPDO will specifically lead on the cash element but will also lead on activities such as community mobilisation, selection, registration and verification of beneficiaries, community complaint and feedback mechanisms and protection messaging. Plan will be responsible for overall management and quality of programme implementation as well as voucher transfers, post-distribution monitoring, coordination, as well as monitoring and reporting in close coordination with FPDO. Support for FPDO will focus on protection, gender and AAP. The specific gathering sites within the locality will be selected based on the evolving situation and in consultation with ZOA and their local partner SOS Sahel, local NGOs including DDRA and local communities.

The overall goal of the project is: Vulnerable Communities are better prepared to cope with the adverse effects of natural disasters through the Scale-up of B-READY. B-Ready empowers families with agency to prepare for disasters in ways that are suitable for them, whether that is evacuation, strengthening their home, or protecting livelihoods assets. B-READY saves resources, livelihoods and lives of vulnerable people by providing communities with the knowledge (forecasted impacts of disaster on their community), voice (co-defining triggers, HH to be supported), and the resources (cash) to reduce their vulnerability to disaster. This project directly supports 4500 households or 22,500 people in 50 villages to reduce the effects of disasters, and increase their resilience. Since 1970, the number of annual disasters has more than quadrupled, with a current persistent funding gap of 40% of emergency appeals. Evidence in diverse contexts shows that each Euro invested in preparedness saves four to seven Euros on response and technological advances have improved our ability to predict disasters. Yet relief efforts remain predominately reactionary. The history of ‘reactive’ disaster response, creates challenges for the humanitarian infrastructure to change the paradigm to proactive response. Vulnerable households globally, and in the Philippines, struggle to protect themselves from disasters. Vulnerability is determined by poverty, lack of information, and lack of resources: communities’ lack of disaster preparedness often stems from a lack of financial resources, and the inability to predict the impact of disasters. Specific challenges to pre-emptive action in the Philippines, includes: • Lacking cost-efficient, scalable, and reliable methods to predict the specific local impacts of disasters. • Humanitarian finance built to respond post-disaster. • A lack of effective, cost-efficient & timely methods of supporting vulnerable people preparing for disasters. For example, the Philippines Government ‘best practice’ of distributing food pre-disaster was noted by the disaster management official as ‘not meeting the needs’ of people preparing for disaster . • Central disaster predictions hampers communication, with timely post-disaster relief often delayed and inadequate. For example the high loss of life during Typhoon Haiyan was partly due to preparedness communication that provided a ‘scripted text’ of a storm surge, rather than the real impact of an incoming tsunami . To protect vulnerable households against disaster, B-READY provides knowledge of the local impact of the disaster, with cash grants, days before impact. This program combines three innovations: 1. Impact-based disaster forecasting, 2. Linking financial transfer technologies to social protection for pre-emptive action and 3. A paradigm shift to pre-emptive response, aligning systems, policy and financing for greater overall disaster outcomes. B-READY enables governments to predict the local impact of disasters, and provide pre-emptive cash to vulnerable families to save lives, alleviate suffering, and minimise economic losses. Families receive cash and know-how before a disaster, allowing them to effectively protect and prepare themselves and minimize the disaster impact. Core components of the innovation are: • Parametrics: provides a cost-efficient, objective, scalable, and reliable way to predict the impacts of disasters locally. • Locally owned action: Local actors respond pre-emptively to foreseen disaster impact, based on SOPs and impact thresholds defined together with communities. • Pre-emptive cash grants: Cash transfers are triggered based on ‘impact thresholds’ through a digital local financial platform to provide a smart, efficient, transparent cash-grant, that provides families with the ability to prepare. • Sustainable pre-emptive finance: B-READY works on sustainable financing pathways for pre-emptive action that shifts available and growing (inter)national funding to pre-emptive action. This programme is a readiness to scale programme of the 2020 B-ready pilot The Salcedo local government adopted B-READY in 2020, and is planning to use internal funds for future pre-emptive action. The mayor and governor are influencing other local and national government actors for B-READY adoption. For example the Philippines National Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) are issuing a resolution to ensure more local governments can benefit from pre-emptive action to disasters through their current government funding mechanism. Economies of scale are evidenced in the parametric model. The concept of pre-emptive finance for social protection and preparedness, and its effective delivery once triggers are hit through local financial providers are proven. Other donors (e.g. ECHO) are already providing further funding. B-READY has won the SEED innovation competition, and is been promoted by UN Emergency Relief Coordinator as one of the top 3 innovative DRR projects globally. The target groups for this solution are: • Beneficiaries: This project will benefit 4,500 vulnerable households or 22,500 people in 50 villages in the Philippines. 60% of cash grants will be targeting women. Beneficiaries of the project will be vulnerable households defined by the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) including children, persons with disability, pregnant and lactating mothers, elderly, SOGIE (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression), groups with low income, affected by conflict, or particularly exposed to hazards. Beneficiaries increase voice, agency, resources and knowledge to better prepare for disasters. • Local Governments will improve preparedness, disaster management, efficiency and transparency of disaster response with new forecasting technology showing local impacts, and the mechanisms established to disburse cash safely and quickly before a disaster strikes. • CSOs gain capacity to keep governments to account for transparent, safe, and effective pre-emptive disaster response, aligned with humanitarian standards (for example through safeguarding scorecards, early action protocol participation). • Local Financial Institutions support the transparent and efficient delivery of cash in communities and possible future pre-emptive financing products (insurance, remittances, loans, savings). • National Government gain capacity to provide more effective, efficient and impactful preparedness programs through policy change, standards, financial oversight, and operational guidance for pre-emptive disaster action. B-READY has now been tested in the Philippines, and has initial funding to be piloted in Sudan. To make the jump from ‘pilot’ to ‘preparing for scale’ B-READY needs to: 1. Evidence the current B READY Model for iterative improvement, advocacy and impact: The project will cover 2 new locations in the Philippines, and continue in its current operational area to generate evidence including a Randomised Control Trial, to create iterative improvement, advocacy materials and build B-READY for adoption. 2. Codification of the B READY Philippines and Global Scale Model includes mapping similar initiatives elsewhere for collaboration or learning, considering ‘fertile’ areas for scale (financing, locations, actors, policy routes), choosing a strategic scale up trajectory based on lessons learned, and then a collaborative codification process linking the Philippines National Model, with a Global Scale Model and ‘testing’ these with new funders and implementers to ensure greatest impact, cost-efficiency and ethical risk management. 3. Building B READY for Sustainability at Scale by practically testing local and global sustainability pathways through government uptake (Philippines), private sector finance business models, global FbF, and pre-emptive financial tools/mechanisms currently under-discussion. Furthermore, there will be global advocacy, influencing and knowledge sharing, having B-READY and it’s Scale Model featured in many appropriate forums, exposure visits, webinar presentations, socialisation workshops, targeted policy papers, and discussions with strategic actors to build new partners for adoption. These three steps will enable the B-READY consortium to bring learnings from the previous pilots, codify the model to streamline for efficient scale, and build longer term sustainability across the Philippines and for future countries of implementation. Much of this work hasn’t been possible to date through ‘traditional’ funding that don’t accept critical ‘scaling’ activities. Until 2024 funding will be based on donors to support operational scale out across new contexts, and pre-emptive public/private sector financial scale models (there are 4 proposals developed). After 5-7 years the project will plan to utilise sustainable funding models it is currently testing including: 1. Country Government pre-emptive/DRR funding utilised for B-READY – currently testing in the Philippines – Likely. 2. New pre-emptive/DRR financial instruments (e.g. guarantee fund) functioning at a global level – joining current advocacy – Likely, but size unknown. 3. Delivery of private sector pre-emptive finance models (loans, insurance, savings, remittance transfer) – currently evidencing in partnership with finance companies – Moderate.

Medicalisation of FGM/C institutionalises and normalises it, making the process of complete abandonment more difficult. Empowering Children, Adolescents and Youth (CAY), with the support of their families and communities, enables them to take informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and to defend SRHR and girls’ rights, especially regarding harmful practices like FGM/C. The project duration will be two years (from 1 January 2021) and is implemented in Assiut by Plan International Egypt and the Assiut Childhood and Development Association (ACDA). Its strategies are 1) support positive sexuality education and dialogue; 2) strengthen the quality of SRHR services; 3) support girls and young women most at risk of FGM/C. In Egypt, around 70 – 80% of women under 19 have undergone Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). According to the 2014 Survey of Young People in Egypt, the prevalence of FGM/C tends to be declining among younger generations of women (73.9% amongst females age 13-17 compared to 85.7% amongst those age 30-35). Although the practice is declining, more than half of girls under 14 are expected to undergo FGM/C in the coming years. Also a steady increase in % girls who are cut by a medical staff is seen. This medicalization of FGM/C in Egypt is one of the highest of all countries where FGM/C is practiced. Communities practice FGM/C in the belief that it will ensure a girl's proper upbringing, ensure daughters marriageability and preserve family honor. These are deep-rooted traditions which underline gender inequality and which represent an extreme form of gender discrimination. Recently, the Ministry of Health and Population in Egypt, has directed more attention towards tackling the issue of medicalization of FGM/C, focusing mainly on the capacitation of medical doctors against the practice of FGM and raising their awareness on the relative legislation and penal code, creation of mechanisms for monitoring private clinics and identification of FGM cases, and enforcement of the legal penalty against medical doctors who performs FGM. Women in Egypt have enjoyed political support that resulted in positive results in terms of issuing legislations protecting women’s rights (e.g. criminalization of FGM, increase of legal age of marriage, sexual harassment law, ratification of CEDAW), however, law enforcement continues to be a challenge. Stopping the medicalization and a more structural and sustainable reduction in the prevalence of FGM requires a multifaceted intervention targeting medical personnel and the public. Parents, caregivers and other family members will be capacitated to provide informed and adequate guidance and support for their children’s SRHR and oppose HTPs. Relevant government and local authorities will take action to promote SRHR through enhanced collaboration and media engagement. Next to this creation of a more conducive environment youth will be empowered to take informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and to defend SRHR and girls’ rights holding duty-bearers accountable. To achieve this girls, boys and youth have to embrace gender equality and gain capacity to challenge unequal power relations. Adolescent girls and boys will become active drivers of change in the community, promoting gender equality and social norm change and challenge sexist social norms and value girls equally than boys. In order to enable meaningful participation of youth, the project is also targeting community members and government stakeholders.

Despite stabilization efforts, humanitarian needs continue to grow as millions face reduced access to basic services, including education, limited livelihood opportunities, and rising living costs. Over 90% of Syrians live below the poverty line, with families struggling to afford essential food and hygiene items . Plan International Netherlands, namely Project Commission, approved to contribute to providing a seed-fund for a basic and integrated humanitarian support for the most vulnerable internally displaced and returnees people in Syria. Following the change of authorities in December 2024, Syria remains in a fragile transition marked by insecurity, economic decline, and the effects of the worst drought in 36 years. Despite stabilization efforts, humanitarian needs continue to grow as millions face reduced access to basic services, including education, limited livelihood opportunities, and rising living costs. Over 90% of Syrians live below the poverty line, with families struggling to afford essential food and hygiene items . In Homs Governorate, there has been a record of 140,754 returnees to Homs since December 2024 which placed additional strain on damaged infrastructure and overstretched services. Many households live in unsafe shelters and lack basic supplies, while children face barriers to education and heightened protection risks. The project is structured around 3 outcomes: Outcome 1: School-aged children in vulnerable communities are better equipped to attend and remain in school educational support. Output 1.1: Vulnerable school-aged children receive remedial educational support to reduce hardship and promote school retention, while schools will be provided with education supplies kits to improve the learning environment. Outcome 2: Vulnerable households have improved financial stability and reduced reliance on negative coping mechanisms through access to cash assistance. Output 2.1: Vulnerable households receive Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) to meet basic needs and reduce negative coping mechanisms. Outcome 3: Vulnerable households have improved resilience through increased awareness and access to protection information services. Output 3.1 Women and men are better informed about GBV through awareness sessions and are supported to seek protection services when needed. Education and Assistance Syria continues to experience a steady influx of returnees throughout the year, many of whom face significant challenges in reintegrating into communities that are still recovering from years of conflict. Families are already struggling with the aftermath of displacement, damaged infrastructure, and limited access to basic services. Moreover, many households lack adequate shelter, heating, and resources to endure the cold months. Schools in Homs are under-resourced and ill-equipped to provide a safe and conducive learning environment. They lack essential materials to sustain effective teaching and learning. Among the most pressing needs is access to quality education. Children returning to Syria often face disrupted schooling and limited availability of learning spaces that hinder their ability to stay enrolled. Schools are frequently under-resourced and overwhelmed, struggling to accommodate the growing number of students. In this context, sustained outreach and targeted support are essential to ensure that returnee children are not only enrolled in school but also retained through remedial sessions and support throughout the year. Women and Protection Women and girls in Homs face serious vulnerabilities, particularly in relation to gender-based violence (GBV), which is pervasive and deeply rooted in patriarchal norms and conflict-related stressors, making it multifaceted. Women report daily experiences of IPV (Intimate Partner Violence), including beatings, verbal abuse, and reproductive coercion. Emotional trauma, depression, and suicidal ideation are common outcomes . Other forms of GBV include sexual harassment, economic violence, early and forced marriage, and denial of access to resources and services. These abuses are driven by insecurity, displacement, economic hardship, and discriminatory social norms that silence women and discourage reporting, especially when custody of children is at stake . Against this backdrop, this proposed project will provide winterization kits for vulnerable students and essential supplies to underserved schools, alongside multipurpose cash assistance, household hygiene kits, and GBV and hygiene awareness sessions. This multi-sectoral approach aims to help returnees and vulnerable households meet essential needs, promote safe and dignified living conditions, and support community recovery in rural and urban Qusseir areas. • 100 households will receive a payment of 150 USD for a family of 5 individuals, reaching 500 beneficiaries across two rounds over two consecutive months . • 15 affected schools, reaching 40 class equivalents per school through stationery and supplies support • 2400 students will attend remedial sessions • 1,200 men and women will attend awareness sessions Activity 1.1.1: Provision of Remedial Education Sessions for Vulnerable Children in Homs PIan Syria with its local partner HAND will provide remedial sessions in the targeted schools by HAND trained facilitators to 2400 vulnerable children in Homs to support their education and retention in alignment with the efforts to improve their reintegration. Students will be identified across 6 targeted primary schools by Ministry of Education (MoE) and Directorate of Education (DoE) . The schools will be identified in coordination with theMoE and DoE and relevant Education and Protection sector actors, based on vulnerability criteria including which schools are most vulnerable, have the highest drop out rates, and the most undercovered . All students in the selected schools will receive support as part of this activity. This activity aims to support vulnerable and returnee children in Homs who are at risk of falling behind academically due to disrupted education and limited access to learning resources. This initiative will help bridge learning gaps and improve retention in formal schooling during summer break and before the beginning of the new scholastic year end of 2026 through two cycles of catch-up sessions. Activity 1.1.2: Commission and distribute education kits to 15 vulnerable primary schools to support students’ learning and reduce barriers to education. In response to the continued impact of the crisis on the education system in Homs, Plan in Syria, in partnership with its local partner HAND, will commission and deliver essential school supplies kits to 15 affected primary schools in the targeted areas. The intervention aims to restore and improve the learning environment for girls and boys with or without disabilities by providing key materials such as whiteboards, markers, A4 paper, toners, seats, and other essential items that enable effective teaching and learning. Schools will be identified and selected in close coordination with the MoE and DoE as mentioned in Activity 1.1.1, based on agreed criteria of vulnerability and outreach, ensuring that support reaches the most affected and underserved schools. This will strengthen the capacity of schools to deliver safe and quality education, reduce barriers to learning, and help girls and boys regain a sense of normalcy and stability in their education. Activity 2.1.1: Provide Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) to vulnerable households A total of 100 newly vulnerable and returned households not currently covered by other cash programs will receive MPCA over two consecutive months to help meet their basic and food needs. Households will be selected based on an assessment administered by HAND. Households prioritized will be those with 5+ individuals, those with PwDs or PWSNs, those with no source of income, and those not benefitting from humanitarian assistance from other organisations/initiatives. Each household will receive a payment of 150 USD for a family of 5 individuals, benefitting 500 women, men, girls, and boys, in line with the cash working group Emergency MPC guidance. Beneficiaries will be identified in coordination with local municipalities and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. Households will be assessed using a standardized tool, with selection based on socio-economic vulnerability, giving priority to female-headed households, households with persons with disabilities (PwDs), and other marginalized groups. Plan and HAND are committed to vetting and conducting an Anti-Terrorism Screening (ATS) for the selected individuals in accordance with their compliance procedures. The amount will be transferred to the selected individuals through a third-party service provider with whom HAND has an established agreement. Activity 3.1.1: Conduct GBV awareness, personal hygiene and water conservation sessions targeting women and men to foster community-wide understanding and prevention. Tailored awareness sessions will be conducted with 1,200 men and women in the targeted schools from the targeted communities. by HAND trained facilitators. Participants from diverse backgrounds will have the opportunity to discuss shared challenges, foster mutual respect, and strengthen community collaboration in addressing GBV and other issues. The sessions will cover GBV prevention (core GBV risk-mitigation, referral pathways, basic PSEA messaging, and survivor-centered principles), personal hygiene, and water conservation practices in light of the ongoing drought in Syria. Sessions are small-group (20–25 people), with women-only options and safeguarding protocols. Participants will also receive informational brochures summarizing key messages on GBV prevention and will also be informed about referral mechanisms and pathways to ensure they are referred to needed services. The project’s intervention and results will generate lasting positive effects within the targeted communities by strengthening resilience, promoting self-reliance, and encouraging sustainable behavioural change. Through the provision of awareness activities, men and women will adopt improved practices that enhance community health and reduce the risk of GBV over time. Women and girls gain confidence to speak out, seek support, and assert their rights. Community members may become advocates for change, helping to protect others. The Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance empowers households to make informed choices based on their priorities, reinforcing autonomy and responsible resource management. Additionally, the distribution of school supply kits supports uninterrupted learning, encouraging consistent school attendance and contributing to better educational outcomes for girls and boys. Remedial sessions support children in catching up on foundational subjects, reducing learning gaps caused by displacement or interrupted schooling. Better performance increases confidence and motivation to stay in school. These interventions respond to immediate needs while cultivating long-term capacities that enable communities to maintain well-being and stability beyond the project’s duration.

While government assistance covers food, basic shelter and some EiE/Health, significant gaps remain in WASH, integrated protection services, MPC, and coordinated community engagement. Plan and CMC will address these gaps through a multisectoral response in close coordination with other DRA partners and the local authorities together with other 5 DRA partners and 14 LPs. Plan is in the lead of this response. On 26 November, Tropical Cyclone Senyar caused catastrophic flooding across Aceh and West/North Sumatra, displacing over 884,889 people across 2,186 evacuation centers and severely damaging 158.000 houses and 219 health and 581 education facilities, resulting in 990 deaths. The Yayasan Plan (YPII) Emergency Response Team has been deployed since 29 November and conducted an RNA between 2–4 December in Aceh, complemented by secondary data from BNPB and IHCP Situation Reports. In target districts Aceh Timur, Langsa, and Bener Meriah, RNA findings confirm critical unmet needs. WASH conditions are severely inadequate, with no gender-segregated toilets, long queues, reliance on contaminated water for washing, absence of waste management and lack of MHM supplies. Over 80% of HHs relied on bottled water for drinking while using contaminated floodwater due to broken water infrastructure. HHs report a complete loss of income and limited purchasing power. The RNA confirmed increasing functionality of markets but with limited stock, which Plan estimates will allow MPC to be effective from early January, while before that in-kind is key. Protection risks are acute. No formal protection mechanisms or complaint channels exist in the targeted camps. Children lack structured activities and psychosocial support, boys are engaged in unsafe adult tasks, and women and girls face heightened safety and dignity risks due to non-segregated facilities. PwD and the elderly experience exclusion due to inaccessible camp layouts. Pre-existing GBV prevalence (967 GBV cases in Aceh Jan.-Oct. 2025) further increases protection risks during displacement. While government assistance covers food, basic shelter and some EiE/Health, significant gaps remain in WASH, integrated protection services, MPC, and coordinated community engagement. Plan and CMC will address these gaps through a multisectoral response in close coordination with other DRA partners and the local authorities. YPII and CMC are already implementing emergency response activities, focusing in particular on NFI distributions due to market dysfunctionality in the early days of the response. YPII’s RNA suggests that market functionality is improving, making MPC most important from early January. Plan and CMC will thus continue WASH activities immediately, with first DRA distributions (water trucking) planned for December 22nd. The hygiene promotion and Protection activities will be conducted throughout the project. Beneficiary selection will also commence immediately, with the intention of completing all distributions before the start of Ramadan. PDMs will be conducted 2 weeks after cash transfers. Plan and CMC plan to wrap up most activities, including the protection elements, by the end of the rainy season (mid-March 2026), focussing afterwards only on handovers and strengthening capacities of volunteers, local government actors and the CBCPs to ensure community ownership.

Plan and CMC plan to wrap up most activities, including the protection elements, by the end of the rainy season (mid-March 2026), focussing afterwards only on handovers and strengthening capacities of volunteers, local government actors and the CBCPs to ensure community ownership. The response will target 16,870 people across three districts in Aceh, including 40% children and 60% adults. The design prioritises vulnerable groups identified through the RNA, including children, women, persons with disabilities, GBV survivors, unaccompanied and separated minors, pregnant and lactating women and orphans. Interventions are aligned with YPII’s Child Rights and Gender Equality and Inclusion framework and include survivor-centered GBV services, inclusive support for persons with disabilities, targeted MPCA and health interventions for women and elderly persons, and family tracing and documentation support for separated children. A conflict-sensitive, community-validated approach, grounded in CMC’s expertise in child protection and psychosocial support, ensures culturally appropriate, trauma-informed assistance that promotes protection, dignity, and gender equality specific for the Aceh context. The response will be implemented jointly by Plan & CMC, combining YPII’s technical emergency response capacity with CMC’s deep community access and cultural knowledge. This approach, designed jointly by the partners, ensures effective delivery of integrated WASH, Protection, and MPC in Aceh’s conservative Islamic context, where gender norms and local leadership strongly influence access. Both partners will implement WASH, protection & MPC, each in charge of different sub-districts, but guided by Plan’s technical experts and the systems put in place by YPII’s overall response. CMC is an existing partner and capacity building will be continued (e.g. on GBV and referral mechanisms). They will receive 35,4% of the budget and 6% ICR. The MPCA modality will prioritise mobile money transfers where network coverage permits, with bank agent payments or manual cash distributions (supported by female volunteers) as contingency options. The team already has contracts in place with providers for WASH activities. As for collaboration with other JR members, all members coordinated extensively during the design and decided to primarily focus on avoiding overlap. Plan ended up selecting (sub-)districts that other members had no access to, thus focussing on more remote areas of central Aceh to leverage Plan’s access. YPII also already collaborates with Save the Children (and local NGO Yayasan Geutanyoe), whose existing case management systems complement Plan and CMC’s proposed intervention.

In Tawila, 785 vulnerable households receive multipurpose cash, while 520 households access communal kitchens. In Dar-El-Salam, 431 households receive in-kind food baskets due to market disruption. Protection is integrated throughout via helpdesks, referrals, child-focused targeting, and risk awareness sessions. Coordination with partners ensures complementary coverage and referral pathways for mobile IDPs. The fall of Al Fasher (Oct 2025) displaced 106,000 people to Tawila and Dar-El-Salam, pushing several areas into IPC Phase 5 with extreme food insecurity . In Tawila, 31,795 people are in IPC 5, and 41,672 more across nearby areas. Most displaced households eat less than one meal per day, with overwhelmed communal kitchens and collapsing market access due to hyperinflation. In Dar-El-Salam, markets are largely non-functional. Around 70% of the displaced are women and children, with severe child malnutrition and high vulnerability among UASCs, elderly, and PwD. Plan and FPDO, with partners, propose a 9-week emergency FSL and MPC response: cash and Takaya support in Tawila, and direct food distribution in Dar-El-Salam, to prevent famine-level outcomes before the lean season. The project delivers combined MPC and emergency food assistance with integrated protection, adapted to market conditions. In Tawila, 785 HHs (3,925 people) receive MPC (161 EUR/HH) in two IDP camps, while 520 HHs (2,600 people) receive hot meals via supported communal kitchens (takaya). In Dar-El-Salam, 431 HHs (2,155 people) receive direct food baskets due to market collapse. Protection is mainstreamed through helpdesks, referrals to case management, child-focused targeting (including UASCs), and risk awareness sessions, with coordination to ensure coverage of mobile IDPs. FPDO and Plan worked closely together to design this project as a result of Plan's localisation effort and pre-existing collaboration through the ongoing PCJR. While FPDO will lead procurement and delivery to communal kitchens in Tawila, food basket distribution in Dar-El-Salam, leveraging its pre-existing experience, Plan will manage MPC distribution and protection mainstreaming. HH identification will be carried out jointly between the two organisations in consultations with the community members. FPDO was involved at every stage of this intervention's design, from needs analysis through activity selection and targeting, ensuring the response reflects community priorities and access realities. Plan provides FPDO with technical oversight and capacity building, safeguarding support, financial management, and joint monitoring to ensure delivery against humanitarian standards. The proposed intervention will not only complement but also leverage ongoing PCJR activities in the area, including clear referral pathways to CP activities. Regular coordination with JR agencies will take place to avoid a duplication of effort and ensure the most efficient coverage of IPC 5 areas. Plan has closely coordinated with other JR partners (2b). The intervention targets areas that are hosting large numbers of IDPs classified as IPC 5. This intervention will prioritise based on needs (IPC 5), ensuring that a minimum of 80% of beneficiaries are IDPs, and 20% host communities also classified as IPC 5. Priority is given to female- and child-headed HH, UASCs, families with malnourished children, PwD, PLW, and women and girls facing heightened GBV risks. HH identification is conducted jointly by Plan and FPDO through ERRs and community feedback mechanisms, ensuring populations in smaller rural IDP sites are not excluded. Inclusion is operationalised through adapted distribution points for PwD and PLW, dedicated food rations for UASCs, protection helpdesks with CP case management referrals, and PSEA and child safeguarding feedback mechanisms at all delivery points. Plan and FPDO already delivered a similar design in the PCJR’s CM in the targeted areas, with pre-established procurement channels and contracts, enabling partners to deliver all activities for this ACJR in 9 weeks, timed before the lean season intensifies the ongoing hunger crisis. MPC and FSL activities will be implemented simultaneous. MPC in Tawila’s IDP camps: stakeholder mobilisation, market assessments, and inception (Week 1), HH identification and registration (Weeks 2-4), cash transfers (Weeks 5-6), and post-distribution monitoring (Weeks 8-9). FSL runs simultaneously: communal kitchen setup and food procurement (Week 1), community kitchen operations (Weeks 2-5), and food basket HH registration and distribution in Dar-El-Salam’s IDP camps (Weeks 1-4). This compressed timeline reflects the urgency of IPC 5 conditions, with first MPC and food basket beneficiaries reached by Week 5 and kitchens operational by Week 2.

Since the onset of the war in Ukraine in February 2022 many people who are trapped are unable to meet their basic needs including food, water, and medicines. 11 Dutch collaborating aid organizations join forces under Giro555 to launch a rapid response program to the Ukraine crisis. This funding will be used to provide protection, MHPSS, Food, and Non-food assistance to children, adolescent and caregiver IDPs and host communities in Ukraine, giving priority to delivering life-saving assistance to meet the basic and protection needs of IDPs, and host communities in Ukraine. Strengthening psycho-social support and emergency aid to conflict-affected children in Ukraine. The project aims to increase access to protection for children in 11 conflict-affected regions and 5 hosting regions in Ukraine, with gender-sensitive and special attention for internally displaced and evacuated children & their families, children with disabilities, and most vulnerable children, with specific attention to the needs of girls including girls at risk or survivors of gender-based violence. Plan International Netherlands (NLNO) in partnership with Defence for Children Netherlands (DFC) and through their national partner All-Ukrainian Foundation for Children’s Rights (AUFCR) are extending their humanitarian response project in Ukraine funded by SHO/GIRO555. The project is implemented by NGO partner AUFCR. It aims to increase access to protection for children in war-affected regions (particularly Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, Odesa), and hosting territories (Chernivtsi, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpatska, Poltavska), with special attention for evacuated children from war-affected territories, children in need (children in bomb shelters, child hospitals, maternity hospitals, orphanages, institutions), children with disabilities, and children from vulnerable families (low-mobile, single-parent and refugee/IDP families). this will be achieved through: -Provision of protection, GBV, and child protection prevention and response services. -Provision for Food assistance for children living in residential care institutions. -Provision for Non-food assistance to evacuated children (boys and girls under 18) in orphanages, including sanitation and hygienic supplies. Since the escalation of conflict in Ukraine on February 2022, children continue to be killed, wounded and deeply traumatized by the violence all around them. Schools, hospitals, and other civilian infrastructure on which they depend continue to be damaged or destroyed. Families have been separated and lives torn apart. According to the report of the GPO of Ukraine, as of the morning of 20 January 2023, more than 10,368 children have been affected as a result of the conflict, in particular: 459 children were killed; more than 909 were injured in various degrees of severity; at least 9,441 children were deported to the territory of the Russian Federation. The largest number of children affected, i.e. killed or seriously wounded is in Donetsk oblast (429). At least 3,126 educational institutions (schools and kindergartens) were damaged due to bombing and shelling, and 337 of them were completely destroyed. Children with disabilities are recently almost completely hindered access to education, because of the destruction of schools, damaged infrastructure, blackouts, the danger of being outside of shelters, lack of equipment to meet the special educational needs of the children, etc. Project focuses on providing immediate assistance and protection services to children (boys and girls), and caregivers. There is particular attention for most vulnerable, such as children with disabilities, disabled parents with children, IDPs, UASCs, single mothers with young children, adolescents girls and Female-headed households The project mainly focuses on raising awareness and mitigating child protection risks in affected-war areas and host communities. The psychosocial support includes individual and group therapy, art therapy, light rehabilitation, involvement in fun football and other sport/art activities for active leisure of affected children, development of civic activity and leadership among youth, team building, communication, and interaction in youth environment, social activities, using football as a means of social integration and inclusion, preventing negative effects of war. AUFCR is currently active in 340 local communities across 11 conflict-affected oblasts, namely Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zhtomyr, and in 272 local communities in 5 hosting oblasts, namely Rivne, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn. In these 11 conflict-affected oblasts, AUFCR has established 10 Child-friendly spaces as well as mobile teams for the provision of psychosocial support. AUFCR has created a solid network of sports coaches, volunteers, and psychologists and, on the basis of this network, in the follow-up project, AUFCR aims to establish 5 Child-friendly spaces, to provide structured psychosocial support for boys and girls (aged between 6-14), including children with disabilities, and to provide parenting and adolescents life skills for parents and adolescents. AUFCR will expand with mobile outreach teams. As a rule, each mobile outreach team consists of 3 people: a psychologist or 2 psychologists (child/adult), a social pedagogue, and a police officer/child protection officer, to provide psychological first aid (PFA), unstructured PSS (recreational activities), in IDPs compounds and other locations with no static centers available. Mobile outreach teams will also conduct protection monitoring in alignment and coordination with the protection cluster. where they identify and report the most prevalent and newly emerged child protection issues, and provide referrals to specialized service providers, coordinated with the protection cluster at OCHA. In addition to the provision of basic food and non-food assistance for children in 4 vulnerable child institutions in 3 hosting & conflict-affected oblasts. The project aims to support the most vulnerable host communities and IDPs in Ukraine with unconditional and unrestricted cash assistance. According to the Cash Working Group, the proposed amount for cash assistance is 56.59 Euro (2200 UAH). Thus, with a budget of 15.000 Euro, AUFCR can help at least 178 persons in 11 war-affected oblasts (Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, Donetsk, Luhansk oblasts).

Through those activities, the project aims to achieve its principal objective, namely, to ensure that approximately 9043 girls, women, boys and men receive immediate humanitarian assistance to ensure they are safe and protected from the risks associated with the post-emergency context. Cyclone Mocha was a powerful and deadly tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean which affected Myanmar and parts of Bangladesh in May 2023. It was the 1st cyclonic storm of the 2023 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. Mocha originated from a low-pressure area that was first noted on the 8 May. Mocha rapidly strengthened, peaking at Category 5-equivalent intensity on 14 May with winds of 280 km/h (175 mph), tying with Cyclone Fani as the strongest storm on ever record in the north Indian Ocean. Mocha slightly weakened before making landfall, and its conditions quickly became unfavourable. Mocha rapidly weakened once inland and dissipated shortly thereafter. After the cyclone made landfall, some villages in Rakhine reported record rainfall totals of 218 millimeters well above their previous record totals. A satellite estimate on 16 May determined at least 895 km2 of land was inundated, exposing over 141,000 people. Following Cyclone Mocha's arrival, up to 16 million people (5.6 million children) were potentially exposed to the storm's effects, including 1.2 million IDP's. Plan & PFP aim for a comprehensive, multisectoral response to maximise the impact in the targeted communities, working in 3 complementary sectors: shelter/NFIs, WASH, & FSL, gender and protection mainstreamed. Through those activities, the project aims to achieve its principal objective: ensure that 9043 girls, women, boys and men receive immediate humanitarian assistance to ensure they are safe and protected from the risks associated with the post-emergency context. Plan & PFP will provide family and shelter kits to the most vulnerable affected families, complemented by hygiene kits targeting the most vulnerable women and girls, incl. heads of households. This is complemented by WASH activities incl. the rehabilitation of latrines and water sources to ensure a level of recovery in the weeks afterwards, while aiming to save lives by preventing further escalation of waterborne diseases. Finally, these activities are in part made possible by cash for work activities, which itself will support vulnerable individuals and their families. Cash for work will be done fully in line with the FSL cluster's standards and particular attention will be paid to the wellbeing of participants. Plan and PFP both have extensive experience in the selected sectors, with large portfolios in FSL and WASH and also a large number of shelter/NFI projects. Both have a long-time presence in Rakhine, and have been active in the humanitarian response from their Sittwe offices. Preparation for natural disasters such as this one has been a key feature of Plan Myanmar's strategy, ensuring that all systems are ready to scale up in a very short amount of time. Plan has an office in Sittwe township and is thus able to access the affected area without any problems other than the local infrastructure difficulties. A small-scale response is already ongoing in the same areas, and as part of the Cyclone Mocha response more broadly, Plan is distributing food to affected populations estimated at around 144,000 beneficiaries of whom 66,000 people in camps have already been reached. PFP has also been actively responding and has multiple offices in Sittwe, including in Sittwe township. Plan has also been actively engaging in the relevant clusters, both before and now during the acute crisis, most relevantly in the Sittwe clusters for Protection, GBV, WASH, FSL, CWG, AAP/CE WG and Shelter/NFI, in addition to the clusters at Yangon level. Particularly vulnerable groups were identified as women, children, (adolescent) girls, ethnic and religious minorities, people with disabilities, pregnant and lactating women and women-headed households, each of them likely to be missed by non-inclusive humanitarian action. Plan and PFP will provide family and shelter kits to the most vulnerable affected families, complemented by hygiene kits targeting the most vulnerable women and girls, including those that are heads of households. This immediate acute support is complemented by WASH activities including the rehabilitation of latrines and water sources to also ensure a level of recovery in the weeks afterwards, while aiming to save lives by preventing further escalation of waterborne diseases. Finally, these activities are in part made possible by cash for work activities, which itself will support vulnerable individuals and their families while aligning with the UN Flash Appeal. Cash for work will be done fully in line with the FSL cluster's standards and particular attention will be paid to the wellbeing of participants, including through the provision of adequate materials to perform their jobs. It was selected as the best response by local Plan and PFP colleagues in Sittwe and Yangon. Gender and Protection mainstreaming will also be prioritised, and the project will align with an existing project of 40k EUR in the same communities that is focussed exclusively on protection. Particular importance is placed on coordination with ZOA, who will in part be working with the same local partner (PFP) and in nearby areas in Sittwe township. The two projects will be complementary, targeting different but adjacent populations. Timescale & Planning: The proposed project is fully focussed on delivering an immediate response to the acute needs, but still at three different levels to ensure complementarity between the activities both on the very short term and on the medium-short term. The first step will be the distribution of NFIs, which adds to ongoing immediate relief distributions, and which will be implemented in the first days and weeks of the action. Second in immediacy is the WASH element, which aims to address the increasing risk of disease but also to allow a certain level of liveability in the coming weeks and even months. Finally, the cash for work, in addition to being an immediate source of income comparable to cash support, will contribute both to immediate relief and to the rehabilitation efforts that will be required in the coming months. Delivery Model: Plan will combine direct operations with a collaboration with our local partner PFP, who will have a leading role in the implementation of the action to enhance the localisation outcomes of the DRA. Plan will be responsible and accountable for the project's implementation and will provide technical support to PFP, while PFP is fully involved in both the design and the implementation of the project, leading in particular on the cash for work element and the renovation of water sources and latrines. Plan will in turn lead the procurement processes and the AAP, as well as protection mainstreaming more generally. Particular priority will be given to capacity building on gender and protection mainstreaming. As mentioned above, coordination and complementarity with ZOA's project will be key, and PFP will play a major role in this due to them collaborating with both ZOA and Plan in geographically adjacent areas as well as in similar sectors. Complementarity will be sought in particular on the cash for work and MPC aspects, as vulnerable households not able to participate in cash for work for safety/protection reasons could be referred to the MPC element, with both elements implemented by PFP. This guarantees simple coordination, as PFP itself will be able to coordinate, supported by the Plan and ZOA teams. The project is also aligned to and coordinated with Tearfund's Shelter/MPC intervention, and approaches were coordinated at Myanmar level with SV and WV.

NL-KVK-41198890-BRA100452 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: Brazil records 500,000 cases per year of sexual exploitation against children and adolescents, occupying second place worldwide. This number can be even higher, since only 7 out of 100 cases are reported. In a context of shrinking civic space and dismantling children's rights institutions over the last 4 years, Plan International Brazil and Ecpat Brazil will join forces in this three-year programme using both a systems and gender transformative approach to combat SEC. PIB will be working from March 2023 onwards to set up a steering committee of youth, enabling vulnerable girls and boys to improve their agency and advocating to combat SEC & gender equality. Moreover, interventions will focus on changing social and gender norms that contribute to the sexual exploitation of children and strengthening, influencing CPS actors (both services providers and LEA) to better implement prevention and response measures and support CSO's movement building to do national advocacy for better CP. This activity forms part of the Step Up the Fight Against Sexual Exploitation of Children (SUFASEC) programme. The programme will run in 12 countries in Latin America and South and South East Asia. In Brazil root causes include harmful social and gender norms. The production and reproduction of discriminatory gender norms, sexual abuse and SEC are inherently tolerated and normalized and even encourage the victimisation of children, especially girls, and the perpetration of violence by adults and male peers. Negative social and gender norms interact with weak governance, poverty, income inequality and racism to create an environment in which violence occurs with impunity and is normalised. In the case of Brazil, race - , age- and gender-related social norms come into play regarding sexual violence and SEC. Root causes also include many children’s inability to build social assets that are essential to their protection, families’ economic hardship and exposure to negative shocks such as unemployment, illness or death within the family, or natural disasters. Urbanization and migration can contribute to children’s risk of exposure to SEC, particularly when family separation is involved or where children are migrating for work to support household income needs. Lastly weak governance and child protection systems (duty bearers) do not implement sufficiently protection and response measures in order to protect children’s rights. Especially under the last government civic space has been under pressure and mechanisms (such as the Intersectoral Commission to Combat Sexual Violence against children and Adolecents) have been dismantled. The program will focus on rebuilding these spaces under a newly installed government, advocating for actions that integrate policies for prevention and response of SEC. The programme will work towards the following long-term impact: “Children in all of their diversity are better protected from sexual exploitation.” This will be reached through three interlinking objectives: 1. Children, youth and their communities successfully challenge social norms and harmful practices related to SEC 2. Children and youth have access to and are supported by strengthened assets and protective environments 3. Children and civil society meaningfully participate in holding duty bearers, including government and local authorities, accountable to their obligations towards improved (implementation of) laws, policies, and systems. Social norms and harmful practices are key drivers of SEC. Social norm change begins at home, and for children, youth and their communities to challenge these norms, they must exercise high levels of agency and autonomy over their own bodies and lives. To the extent that children and adolescents recognize themselves as subjects of rights, they can also better understand SRHR as fundamental, and both children and youth in general, as well as victims of SEC, can aspire to exercise a healthy sexuality that includes respect for their personal integrity and decisions about their bodies. To the extent that they are recognized as subjects of rights, all children and youth are also able to demand access to inclusive protection services that both duty bearers and co-responsible parties can provide. This agency can be supported through positive parenting, strong family ties and supportive community members. Acting together, children, their caregivers and communities, can achieve meaningful change in how all children engage with and are valued by society. SEC can be reduced, and its impact appropriately mitigated through access to appropriate assets and through provision of protective environments for children. Economic resilience is a key means of mitigating against monetary drivers of SEC. Children need access to child-centered, inclusive and locally available protection and SRHR information and services, delivered and received without stigma. With so many varied actors involved in protection and referral mechanisms it is important that such services are delivered in a holistic and coordinated manner. By supporting the specialized care and reintegration services that CSOs provide to SEC victims, it is possible to strengthen the restitution of their rights and integrity, especially in contexts where the role of the government in child-friendly and inclusive service provision is still weak. The SUFASEC programme in Brazil builds on the Alliance’s collective achievements to date, scaling up the 2016- 2020 Down to Zero (DtZ), and 2021 – 2022 Building Back Better (BBB) programme. This allows the Alliance to effectively address SEC in the continuously evolving context. Plan International Brazil joined the Down to Zero alliance in the 2016-202 DtZ programme and brought to the country team a rich experience of working with schools, children and youth, local communities, government at local and national level, CSO networks, and CPS actors. Plan International Brazil continues to do so along with a focus on gender transformative programming, a strong understanding of intersectionality and changing social and gender norms. The key target group (and final beneficiaries) of the programme are girls and boys up to 18 years old, who are victims and survivors and those at risk of SEC. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. Besides this target group, the program will also works with - representatives from private sector - public security officers - actors from the CPS The programme in Brazil will focus on successful interventions from the previous phases, as well as will build on foreseen opportunities with the new national and state government (ie. Maranhâo). Our main strategy in this new phase is to support CSOs, coalitions, youth organizations and duty bears to strengthen their abilities and create spaces of collaboration in order to improve or create laws and policies. By supporting their capabilities, the project will gain scale at national level and state levels: 1. CSO strengthening and coalition building 2. Meaningful youth participation 3. Social Norm change 4. Duty-bearer engagement 5. Due diligence process with private sector 6. Youth, community and NGO-driven lobby and advocacy The programme has a clear context analysis of SEC in Brazil, showing how and why it affects girls and boys differently, and how and why this is also linked to other exclusion factors, such as race/colour and economic status. During the implementation, activities will tailor media and policy engagements as well as capacity building on key gender norms and barriers/drivers, working on the root causes of SEC, i.e. gender, age, race and economic power imbalances. A steering committee of youth will be created enabling girls from vulnerable and excluded groups to improve their agency, taking action and influencing to combat SEC&gender equality. The committee’s capacity building programme will build increased knowledge, confidence, capacity to speak, to identify and to mitigate risks, to mobilize and to influence others. Boys and young men will also be mobilized as part of the committee to take action on gender equality, in favour of the sexual and reproductive rights realization and against SEC. Finally, the project seeks for an enabling environment, through the provision of capacity building, creating platforms for dialogue and collective proposition, adding efforts to improve coordination among sectors, services and actors and influencing in policies and budget allocations 1. Practice - building CSO's and government actors’ capacities, strengthening networks, alliances and long-term partnerships with other organizations or entities that are working towards similar goals, influencing public policies and/or legislation and collaborating with existing infrastructure; 2. Socially - developing leadership paths for children and young people (especially for girls). The impact of the project is felt by and lasts among the participants and end beneficiaries if they are involved in making decisions about the project. The steering committee at the heart of this element. The project will support the strengthening of skills that participants can use or benefit from throughout their lives, such as youth leadership, focusing on the structural causes of social and gender inequalities; 3. Economically: throughout the implementation Plan International and potentially partners will analyze and put into practice methods to generate new funds to maintain some or all of the project activities. For this, Plan International Brazil has a team available to identify opportunities and generate fundraising strategies for the sustainability of the project. Alternative sources of funding other than grants are also possible in some possibilities: for example, fundraising events, individual donors, sales of products or services, etc. Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands Plan International Brazil Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Human rights Gender Equality Protection against violence (including gender based violence) THRIVE - Protection 450000 125013 45500 Plan International Brazil 100000 Plan International Brazil 100000 Plan International Brazil 50000 Plan International Brazil 100000 Plan International Brazil 50000 Plan International Brazil 3870 1815 910 6443 -4081 1540 1120 302 1610 -2667 1050 -11511 7139 3951 2309 2170 1855 1260 2560 2592 1794 3304 3964 2964 -944 2800 3753 3688 2975 350 2170 2730 3035 3220 3753 3688 2975 2211 2532 2610 -2610 2565 4727 2707 2806 2160 944 4462 908 1872 605 1815 4184 3245 3430 6116 -6036 -4934 1102 2362 700 -2362 -6777 -177 350 -4934 980 This indicator includes young people reached with information on SEC (and not only SRH). The current situation in Sao Luis as target region, reach out to youth is limited in and out of schools.

Also social and gender norms don't allow for an enabling environment to reach youth (female and male) with CSE. At community level, community leaders are very conservatiive and reluctant to address this in community level. Barriers and strategies to reach girls and boys vary related to norms around CSE and roles in society.

The training with the youth committee was comprehensive and adapted to local needs, ensuring that young people received comprehensive and relevant information on topics such as: SEC, activism, participation, leadership and SRHR. Young people between the ages of 13 and 18 who take part in the committee have taken part in dialogues and discussions with the protection network. This helps to support the dissemination of relevant information to the young people. In particular, the Champions of Change methodology has helped to strengthen their training process. Young people can use the methodology in face-to-face actions. The young people have been invited by their school managers and partners to take part in awareness-raising activities with other groups of young people, which shows that the for-to-face strategy is effective. focus on reach out year 1 and 2 The actions planned for the final year were implemented with a focus on training adolescents aged 13 to 18, carried out in public schools and expanded to other partner institutions through peer-to-peer multiplication activities.

However we know that in the city of São Luís no approved policies leading to decrease of barriers to SRHR/ or address SEC have been adopted by private sector . Although a few years ago some civil society organisations wrote a code of conduct on prevention of sexual violence , the policy has not been finalised and adopted by any company Code of conduct or mechanisms in place for private sector companies that address SEC drafted, in the approval phase or approved In the final year, the project advanced in engaging the private sector through the mapping of companies with the potential to commit to reducing barriers to access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and HIV/AIDS services, while also analyzing their performance and track record in addressing sexual violence against children and adolescents. This process served as a strategic filter to avoid weak partnerships and identify actors with real implementation capacity, resulting in the signing of a technical cooperation agreement among companies, trade unions, and associations. The agreement defined formal responsibilities in tackling sexual exploitation, marking a qualitative advance in institutional practices and establishing solid foundations for the future development of corporate policies aligned with adolescent protection. The State of Maranhao has a range of CP policies and action plans in place, among them the Municipal Plan for Confronting Sexual Violence against Children and Adolescents in São Luís. However, the adherence to this plan has been weak with the previous government giving low priority to children's rights. Currently, the plan is about to expire and the monitoring committee composed of organisations and government actors are not committed to revise and develop the new plan. The Alliance aims to support in the revision of the action plan, promoting both commitment and raise attention fo the reference to SRHR and SEC in particular. in order to revise the Municipal Plan to Combat Sexual Violence against Children and Adolescents in São Luís, which will expire in 2024, the SUFASEC project will support the re-establishing of the Municipal Committee, which will carry out this review and submit it (the plan) to the Municipal Council for approval. The Alliance will emphasise actions to combat the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents, as well as Sexual Rights and Reproductive Rights. The context study being carried out will provide important insights for the construction of the municipal plan. The committee is composed by different secretariats, councils for the defence of the rights of children and adolescents in the municipality and civil society organisations. "The adoption of Resolution No. 47/2025, which establishes guidelines for the Pedagogical Project for Awareness-Raising, Training, and Capacity Building of employees of the Municipality of São Luís, represents a significant step forward. The regulation institutionalizes training practices, ensures the continuity of actions, and strengthens a more structured and responsive policy to address the needs of children, adolescents, and their families. This resolution provides concrete evidence of improved implementation of Law No. 13.431/2017 in the municipality and constitutes a direct result of the program’s interventions, especially following the dissemination of the context study and the reflections produced by professionals during the training activities offered. These processes expanded understanding of the local reality, strengthened technical capacities, and provided qualified input for decisions more closely aligned with the needs of adolescents in São Luís. Although the creation of this resolution had already been envisaged, its effective adoption was driven by the program’s actions in coordination with local partnerships and by the reactivation of the Monitoring Committee of the Municipal Plan to Combat Sexual Violence against Children and Adolescents in São Luís, Maranhão, which directly contributed to guiding, prioritizing, and accelerating this regulatory advance." Access to protection and SRHR services for adolescent boys is also low, but there are different reasons for this than for girls. The hypothesis is that among boys it is also more strongly related to a lack of sex education, but refers, for example, to a hegemonic masculinity that lays the responsibility for contraception on women and is often also combined with a refusal to use condoms. Therefore, the lack of search for services for this specific group may be related to this aspect. Since we will be working on SRHR, SEC and SGBV prevention, we will consider all the services in the protection network that are relevant to this indicator. Age range : 14 to 18 years old - services: Basic Health Unit, Health Center, Social Assistance Reference Center, Specialized Social Assistance Reference Center, among other to be defined. Additional observation: The method of counting young project participants accessing SRHR and protection services are still to be defined. It will be considered to carry out an anonymous consultation with the young people themselves to measure frequency and whether they are seeking services. Estimating methods for the population assisted by the services could also be considered as an alternative. Child protection services are also included in this indicator. this indicator will be measured by the end of the training trajectory with a post test measuring # of youth seeking and using SRH services and feel safe in these spaces this indicator will be measured by the end of the training trajectory with a post test measuring # of youth seeking and using SRH services and feel safe in these spaces this is a baseline value. The final count of young people will be made at the end of the training cycle, scheduled for the second half of 2025. The program targets youth from the Steering committee for whom sessions have been organised where the protection network was present so that they can learn about the services they can seek help from and which can also help them avoid pregnancy and STIs, among other aspects. To ensure that the target is reached in Year 3, education and training actions will be expanded to empower women and enable them to participate actively, giving visibility to their needs and specificities. In addition, training will be offered to health and social care professionals, focussing on the needs of children and young people, guaranteeing more appropriate and sensitive care. The integrated work with Health and Social Assistance services has shown positive effects: the percentage of adolescents who reported having a better understanding of their rights after participating in the project’s activities increased from 63% to 94%, while the perception that the project encouraged them to seek health and protection services rose from 59% to 81%. These results demonstrate not only greater awareness, but also a concrete movement toward closer engagement between adolescents and support services, indicating stronger preventive strategies and a greater capacity among young people to seek help in situations of vulnerability, including those related to sexual exploitation and violence There are no public service data available to allow us to say how many adolescents in the city of São Luís are seeking SRH services and feel safe in these spaces.However, overall access to protection and SRHR services is low due to taboo surrounding sexuality, virginity and access to contraceptives; the lack of child- and adolescent-friendly services; lack of public investment in comprehensive sexuality education and public investment in SRHR services. - child protection services are also included in this indicator: Since we will be working on SRHR, SEC and SGBV prevention, we will consider all the services in the protection network that are relevant to this indicator. - Age range: 14 to 18 years old - Specified services: Basic Health Unit, Health Center, Social Assistance Reference Center, Specialized Social Assistance Reference Center, among other to be defined.

Estimating methods for the population assisted by the services could also be considered as an alternative. this indicator will be measured by the end of the training trajectory with a post test measuring # of youth seeking and using SRH services and feel safe in these spaces Since we will be working on SRHR, SEC and SGBV prevention, we will consider all the services in the protection network that are relevant to this indicator. Age range : 14 to 18 years old - services: Basic Health Unit, Health Center, Social Assistance Reference Center, Specialized Social Assistance Reference Center, among other to be defined. Additional observation: The method of counting young project participants accessing SRHR and protection services are still to be defined. It will be considered to carry out an anonymous consultation with the young people themselves to measure frequency and whether they are seeking services. Estimating methods for the population assisted by the services could also be considered as an alternative. this is a baseline value. The final count of young people will be made at the end of the training cycle, scheduled for the second half of 2025. The program targets youth from the Steering committee for whom sessions have been organised where the protection network was present so that they can learn about the services they can seek help from and which can also help them avoid pregnancy and STIs, among other aspects. To ensure that the target is reached in Year 3, education and training actions will be expanded to empower women and enable them to participate actively, giving visibility to their needs and specificities. In addition, training will be offered to health and social care professionals, focussing on the needs of children and young people, guaranteeing more appropriate and sensitive care. The coordinated work between health and social assistance services has had positive effects on the 44 girls supported by the project. It strengthened their awareness of their rights, improved their understanding of how to access protection and health services, and increased their motivation to seek support when needed. This has enhanced preventive efforts and helped the girls feel better prepared to seek help in situations of vulnerability, including sexual exploitation and violence. The local civil society organisations (active on children's rights) are hardly involved in L&A activities and are lacking skills to contribute to influence local policies and laws reagadring SEC. Regarding desired future (advocacy) capacities, actions will be directed towards two aspects that the organizations mentioned in the Baseline; such as contributing to changes in policies and laws and initiating discussions with the government to address community concerns about SEC. This has to be further defined in discussion with CSO's. The mobilization carried out during this period made it possible to reach 13 civil society and public organizations that began to include in their strategic plans a commitment to strengthening network-based action to prevent and respond to situations of sexual exploitation and violence against children and adolescents (CSEC). These organizations, which are part of the Child-Friendly Network and have recognized political influence in São Luís — including a historic contribution to reducing child labor — demonstrate significant institutional capacity, although they still require technical updating to adequately address the current context of sexual exploitation. The joint work has been strengthened by a strategic replanning process that positioned this mobilization in the third year of the project, creating more favorable conditions for consolidating effective partnerships. In this context, technical meetings are being conducted to identify inclusive spaces for political advocacy, disseminate updated approaches to addressing the issue, and incorporate the active participation of young people, thereby strengthening coordinated action capable of generating more robust, integrated, and sustainable responses for the protection of children and adolescents. NL-KVK-41198890-SDN100401 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The organisations united in the Sudan Acute Crisis Joint Response are responding to the humanitarian needs that are rapidly worsening since the violent outburst in April 2023. The recent surge in violence threatens to deepen the humanitarian crisis as the population was already struggling with poverty, hunger, and inequality. Life-saving activities are being implemented in the districts White Nile, Al Jazirah, Blue Nile, North and East Darfur and include protection services, WASH, acute food assistance, and cash support, specifically targeting those most vulnerable, including children, girls, and women. The JR partners are: FPDO and ASSIST, (Plan International), RAISE, (Save the Children), CAFA Development Organization, (Stichting Vluchteling/IRC), World Relief, HOPE, (Tearfund), Alsawaid Alkhadara Organizationc, (World Vision), SOS Sahel, CDF, (ZOA). As part of the Sudan Acute Crisis Joint Response Plan is responding to the humanitarian needs that are rapidly worsening since the violent outburst in April 2023. The recent surge in violence threatens to deepen the humanitarian crisis as the population was already struggling with poverty, hunger, and inequality. The Inter Agency-Rapid Needs Assessment in White Nile in May found that 78% out of IDPs are children and women, and 2% are extremely vulnerable or at risk groups including elders, PwDs, and PLWs. Especially protection services were identified as being overstretched. Based on the identified needs, the IA-RNA strongly recommends an acute protection response, reviving CBCPNs, providing case management/FTR and advocating for/implementing MPC, all the while supporting children sitting exams this month to avoid prolonged loss of education due to the acute crisis. The project will address all of these very directly. WASH needs are also prioritised in the IA-RNA, which Plan has fully integrated into this action. In line with the protection cluster’s recommendations, the protection element focuses on the most lifesaving priorities, including the major gaps in case management, while MPC covers acute multisectoral needs. FPDO and Plan will establish mobile CFS to provide immediate PSS to 2400 most vulnerable children. This activity is complemented by the provision of MHM kits to meet the acute needs of women and girls. For the many children in need of immediate tailored support (e.g. UASC and CAAFAG), indicated by the protection cluster as the most urgent need in White Nile and with the biggest gap in current response capacity among humanitarian actors, FPDO and Plan will provide case management including FTR and alternative care. The protection response was co-designed by 4 CPiE experts and is thus fully in line with the CPMS and the cluster (e.g. budget per child, case workers per child, supervision of case workers, CPIMS+, etc). These immediate response activities are complemented by support for CPCs/landmines awareness, also agreed with the cluster, in order to add a preventive element reaching as many affected people as possible. In addition to this, ASSIST and Plan will provide a comprehensive emergency WASH response in line with the MS & cluster, including the provision of clean drinking water, rehabilitation of handwashing points & latrines, and hygiene awareness raising through WASH committees. 700 WASH kits will be distributed to those most in need, complementing the MHM kits. Finally, to meet the most acute needs holistically, Plan will provide MPC to 2266 individuals at $25 per month for 2 months (provided to HHs but calculated per individual) in line with the Cash WG and CAFOD/NCA’s approach. Plan Sudan has a very strong presence in White Nile State, having worked there for decades, initially in development programming and now in both development and humanitarian programming. FPDO and ASSIST are locally rooted and have been responding to the ongoing crisis and participating in clusters as well as the IA-RNA. The partners have local offices always within easy driving distance from the specific camps in which the project will be implemented. Operational presence and staffing are thus not an obstacle, with existing staff ready to implement the project as soon as it is approved. In terms of sectors, ASSIST has a decade-long track record in WASH programming and has WASH experts on staff. Plan also has a dedicated WASH team and a large WASH portfolio, with both organisations working in close collaboration with the WASH cluster and local government. For Protection, both FPDO and Plan have a strong track-record in White Nile, with Plan currently co-chairing the child protection sub-cluster. The design of the protection intervention involved 4 different CPiE experts at both local and international level, in close coordination with the cluster. MPC is implemented by Plan, with Plan Sudan being an early adopter of the modality, with a CVA expert on staff and an active role in the cash WG. As outlined in section 2b, the project was coordinated in great detail with the clusters, working groups and other actors. The project has been designed to meet the unique needs of female-, child- and elderly-headed HHs, CAAFAG, UASC, PWDs, PLWs. Beneficiary selection will include vulnerability criteria covering all the abovementioned groups. The final selection criteria are completed in consultation with local communities. 80% of beneficiaries will be IDPs while 20% will be host community. FPDO, ASSIST & Plan propose an emergency response project in White Nile, providing MPC, WASH and Protection in Ad Douiem and Al Jabalien as well as protection in Rabak and Kosti. The project is aligned to the HRP and to interventions by other local actors and was discussed at length within the clusters. It complements other MPC/WASH interventions in Rabak and Kosti. FPDO and Plan will establish mobile CFSs to provide immediate PSS to 2400 most vulnerable children. This activity is complemented by the provision of 1300 MHM kits to meet the acute needs of women and girls. For the many children in need of immediate tailored support (e.g. UASC and CAAFAG), indicated by the protection cluster as the most urgent need in White Nile and with the biggest gap in current response capacity among humanitarian actors, FPDO and Plan will provide case management including FTR and alternative care. The protection response was co-designed by 4 CPiE experts and is thus fully in line with the CPMS and the cluster (e.g. budget per child, case workers per child, supervision of case workers, CPIMS+, etc). These immediate response activities are complemented by support for CPCs/landmines awareness, also agreed with the cluster, in order to add a preventive element reaching as many affected people as possible. In addition to this, ASSIST and Plan will provide a comprehensive emergency WASH response in line with the MS & cluster, including the provision of clean drinking water, rehabilitation of handwashing points & latrines, and hygiene awareness raising through WASH committees. 700 WASH kits will be distributed to those most in need, complementing the MHM kits. Finally, to meet the most acute needs holistically, Plan will provide MPC to 2266 individuals at $25 per month for 2 months (provided to HHs but calculated per individual) in line with the Cash WG and other local actors. Delivery model: Plan will implement the project together with two local partners, namely FPDO and ASSIST. FPDO will lead the protection activities, while ASSIST will lead WASH activities. Plan will implement the MPC activity as well as parts of WASH/protection. ASSIST and FPDO will jointly receive 38% of the budget and will receive 6% ICR in line with the cost sharing proposal. Plan will also provide capacity building to further strengthen the work the two organisations already do, and for the most part FPDO and ASSIST will be leading the implementation, as Plan’s budget is focused primarily on MPC (high activity budget but low staff/support costs) and supporting the Protection and WASH activities to be led by the local partners. Project management will be led by Plan’s local colleagues, based for the most part in White Nile. The JR will be co-led by FPDO. Cross cutting themes: Plan, FPDO and ASSIST will have a gender balance in staffing and the start-up workshop will cover in great detail the varying needs of women, men, girls and boys and what this means for programming. Ensuring gender transformation is a requirement for all of Plan’s projects and this project will be no exception. Particular efforts are made to involve women and girls in the design of the action. The gender/age marker was applied. For accountability, beneficiaries have been and will continue to be consulted at every step. The project will be implemented adhering fully to the CHS and the IASC-AAP. Feedback mechanisms are already in place (incl. hotlines and suggestion boxes) and will be further sensitised among the community. The beneficiaries will be actively consulted throughout, in particular through the community-based committees set up through this project. At the start of the project they will be consulted on the best way to collect feedback to adjust the current methods if preferred. As mentioned, particular attention is paid to conflict-sensitivity, as community tensions would form a major threat to life. IDPs and host communities are both consulted and involved in the action. Environmental protection policies are in place and will be followed. Ongoing development projects are to be linked to the intervention to contribute to the nexus.

In order to address negative stereotyping, ‘Shomotay Tarunno’ aims to enable young people in all their diversities to challenge gender stereotypes limiting them from enjoying their full potential. Plan International and JAAGO Foundation will work together to amplify the rights, representation and resources of young people, from local to national level to combat harmful gender stereotypes. By addressing the harmful gender norms throughout the life-course, building youth agency, advancing strategic partnerships with media, education and government institutions, and improving the positions of girls and young women with support of men and boys, the project will respond to the needs and rights of youth over the period of 2024-2027. According to the Gender Inequality index, Bangladesh ranked 131i and in Global Gender Gap Report 2023 Bangladesh ranked 59th position. A study of Plan (2021) found that 86.8% of female respondents have faced forms of domestic violence and 26.1% avoids leaving home due to fear of violence. 90.2% girl respondents faced mental health issues due to harassment at educational institutions.  As per the Legal Framework Analysis on Challenging Fear of Violence conducted by Plan (2021) several laws are outdated and require reform. Patriarchal system and deeply rooted gender stereotypes are a huge barrier towards achieving equal rights for all. Due to these stereotypes, girls and young women have less resources and access to decision-making; are not able to fund their ideas for bringing systemic change. Harmful gender stereotypes are further perpetuated by media’s framing and narratives about ‘supposed’ gender roles, the negative portrayal of GYW which are often based on outdated stereotypes, and the objectification of their bodies.Specific language is used as a means to secure patriarchal culture & gender stereotypes. Gender equitable education is often not included in curricula. The project has identified three major dimensions through which the overall goal of the project which is “Young people, in all their diversity especially GYW, are able to live a life free of violence, voice their opinions, and resource their actions to challenge gender stereotypes” will be aimed. To achieve the goal the project will primarily work with three major stakeholders: 1) youth, youth led Organizations and the National Youth Council; 2) media organisations, outlets and media influentials and 3) the government and education institutes, including universities. The project will work in three interlinked objectives where: a) Young people in all their diversity are equipped to combat gender stereotypes and increase positive social gender norms in society through enhanced inclusive, effective and meaningful engagement in decision making and activism. b) Media organizations and outlets and influencers are more proactive and responsive to positive gender representation and produce gender sensitive content. c) Improved legal frameworks and curricula have become in place and strengthened commitment and accountability of duty bearers, media and education institutes to address harmful gender stereotypes Our strategy to achieve the objectives involves influencing power holders including media, community leaders, education institutes and duty bearers, strengthening their laws and policies, teaching skills and curricula, mobilizing young people and civil society and promoting positive attitudes, behaviors and practices from the individual, to the national and the global level. The proposed project, strategies and interventions are very much aligned with, and directly contribute to Sustainable Development Goal number 5, to end all forms of discrimination against women and girls everywhere. The project is elaborated based on all consortium partners strategies, as it will be contributing to Plan International Bangladesh Country Strategy (2020 – 2030), Strategic Objective to ‘Empower children and young people as drivers of systemic change to gender norms and power relationships’ by youth as drivers of change and to promote and enabling environment for youth, with special attention for girls and young women. The project is also aligned with Plan International Netherlands Strategy (2021 – 2025) to stimulate youth-led lobby and advocacy, in contribution of “well-resourced feminist and youth-led organizing, activism and advocacy” and “to build youth's ability to take collective action and influence governments and duty bearers”.The strategic objective of JAAGO Foundation aligns perfectly with the objective of the project which is to "empower youth as catalysts of gender equality and inclusiveness". The strategies of the project (on e.g. youth empowerment, capacity strengthening of youth trainers, and youth-led organizations, the media and duty bearers, and to influence media organizations and platforms to produce gender-sensitive content) collectively work towards creating a more inclusive and gender equal society in line with JAAGO's Foundation's strategic objectives. By aligning with Plan International's strategies, JAAGO Foundation aims to cultivate a well-resourced and youth-led movement that empowers young people to collectively influence decision-makers and drive systemic change in societal norms and power dynamics. Target groups Youth in all their diversity of age between 15 – 24 years: 5974 (who will be reached through objective 1 and 2). The gender ratio would be 50% girls and 50% boys and 1% of total direct target group will be from youth from different gender identities and indigenous youth. Primary duty bearers (indirect): 4000 Community stakeholders representing caregivers/parents, teachers, religious leaders, Research Institute, local government in 8 divisions, media institutes, private sector actors, 680 government and tertiary education and language institute teachers and authorities. Secondary duty bearers (indirect): more than (>) 2 million general public is expected to reach through objective 2 (media interventions) and objective 3 on improved legal frameworks and curricula that address gender stereotyping in the media. TTo achieve objective 1 ‘Young people in all their diversity are equipped to combat gender stereotypes and increase positive social gender norms in society through enhanced inclusive, effective and meaningful engagement in decision making and activism’, we will be conducting workshops, train youth trainers and implement training courses on gender rights, stereotypes, safeguarding, digital safety, media literacy and lobby and advocacy. To ensure youth will have the capacity to claim their rights and change social norms and stereotypes with their community,a perception survey will be conducted to identify the current knowledge of youth on gender stereotypes. Other important target groups are the youth-led organisations (YLOs) and the National Youth Council (NYC). The assumption is that 1) if YLOs and the NYC are capacitated on organisational development, gender equality, lobby and advocacy, media literacy, digital safety, and 2) if YLOs are provided with resources to fund their own (lobby) actions, YLOs with the support of the NYC, will be capable to influence duty bearers and the media, through their enhanced inclusive, effective and meaningful engagement in decision making and activism. The project will also support youth to use the media scorecard, Plan’s and Jaago’'s accountability tool, which will provide space to youth to monitor and report gender stereotyping messages and portrayals in local and national media and to share their findings with local and national government and media stakeholders. The accountability tool, with support of the intergenerational dialogues and advocacy workshops with duty bearers, YLOs, NYC, and consortium partners, will enable youth to hold media accountable for gender transformative messaging and gives them access to decision making spaces. With proper knowledge, information, advocacy, tools, resources, skills and space, it is anticipated that youth and YLOs will be enabled to positively change gender stereotype narratives and achieve objective 1. The project aims to work with media platforms, houses and media influentials to positively change the media narratives on gender stereotypes, which will result in Objective 2: “Media organisations, outlets and influencers are more proactive and responsive to positive gender representation and produce gender sensitive content”. To achieve this objective, the project will work with all forms of media, including social media platforms like Facebook, tiktok, youtube, instagram, which are used by most young people these days as well as with young media influencers to promote gender equality in the social media. It is presumed that if we partner with influencers and social media platforms, launch a social media campaign and build the capacity of local content creators through training and a bootcamp on how to create gender transformative content, awareness has been raised and attitudes, perceptions, and behaviours of social media influencers and local content creators have been shaped to jointly combat gender stereotypes. In the project, Strategic partnerships with different media agencies, especially print, broadcast and entertainment media will be established to promote innovative gender transformative media messaging in social and traditional media as well as to get critical insights in support of policy influencing. Based on these consultations, outputs and activities will be more specifically determined in the inception phase. Leveraging Plan International Bangladesh’s partnership with Grameen phone and Unilever, the project will initiate discussion on collaboration on gender transformative advertisements, which can reach other private entities, and millions of consumers in Bangladesh. By establishing strategic partnerships, and educating media, ownership among media professionals a conducive environment will be promoted to address gender stereotypes. The consortium aims to create sustainable impact through engaging with local and national government and education/language institutes to bring systematic change through improved legal frameworks and curricula and strengthened commitment and accountability of duty bearers, media and education institutes (Objective 3). To achieve this objective, the project is aiming to establish partnerships with Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Ministry of ICT, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Women and Children Affairs. When we have established and strengthened partnerships, we will review laws, policies and regulations on gender stereotyping in the media, identify gaps and start influencing the ministries to reduce gender bias and discrimination in relevant laws and policies. Further, the project aims to develop strategic partnerships with tertiary education and language institutes to support the revision of curricula and Bangla language and to train teachers on gender transformative education. The potential wider impact of the project is enormous, delivering positive change at individual, community policy level and national level. Sustainability will be achieved through using the evidence and learning from the project to improve policy frameworks and curricula and to inform good practice, and to develop this model more widely in Bangladesh and beyond. By strengthening linkages and influencing the promotion of equal representation, gender rights, capacities and resources among youth, including GYW, the project focuses on the following types of sustainability: Sustained legal framework and Institutional Linkages through partnerships with several Ministries and the Youth National Council Sustained linkages will also be created with the educational sector, , including universities, teacher education institutes and higher education/ language institutes, to transform their curricula, teach teachers about our gender transformative approach and review the Bangla language ensuring a systemic change in the education sector, where young students are educated through a gender transformative approach and through gender transformative language, which they will embrace, carry out in society and continue in their future career. Sustained linkages with on- and offline media and Influencers to change the narrative in media landscape and promote a culture that embraces gender equality Sustained Capacity, representation and resources for youth organisations across 8 divisions in Bangladesh: Environmental sustainability: Project activities will be monitored to ensure that the project has no detrimental environmental impacts.

In the Dominican Republic, youth, and young women in particular, are denied the chance to go to school and gain access to a decent job. Tourism and Hospitality (T&H) is an important sector with many job opportunities. The TUI Academy is created by TUI Care Foundation and Plan International to ensure 150 youths (aged 18-29, at least 60% female) at risk of Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE) in La Altagracia, Dominican Republic, are socially and economically empowered by June 2025. The TUI Academy offers them vocational skills training based on the demands from the T&H market, life skills training which includes communicating in English, and an internship at a resort or hotel that is owned/contracted by TUI. The project aims to ensure these youths can protect themselves from CSE and increases their opportunities for obtaining decent work in the T&H sector.

To do this, a Joint Budget has been reserved to spend both on joint activities and on the overall management of the grant. The Joint Budget is set aside to facilitate regional meetings, joint activities, travel and communication costs, real time review and the salary of the Sudan Acute Joint Response in-country Coordinator. The budget is managed by Plan International in its role as Sudan ACJR lead. Also, Plan Sudan will share this lead with FCDO and will provide capacity building to make this possible. Sudan is facing an unprecedented crisis. The sudden outbreak of armed conflict has proven to be disastrous in a country already facing a major humanitarian crisis. Over 24 million people now need urgent humanitarian assistance, both in areas facing humanitarian crises for many years and in areas that until recently were less affected. Millions of people have been displaced, forced to leave their homes, with many more facing hunger and the threat of disease. Fleeing populations of women, children, and families urgently need shelter, protection, food, water, medical care, and psychosocial support. Girls, young women, and unaccompanied children in particular face major protection risks and require direct assistance. The organisations united by the Dutch Relief Alliance and its Sudanese partners are responding through a multisectoral intervention that aims to provide immediate relief to the most acute needs. The intervention focuses in particular on protection services required to ensure the populations’ safety from violence and abuse as well as food assistance, water and sanitation, and direct cash support.

The recent surge in violence threatens to deepen the humanitarian crisis as the population was already struggling with poverty, hunger, and inequality. Life-saving activities are being implemented in the districts White Nile, Al Jazirah, Blue Nile, North and East Darfur and include protection services, WASH, acute food assistance, and cash support, specifically targeting those most vulnerable, including children, girls, and women. The JR partners are: FPDO and ASSIST, (Plan International), RAISE, (Save the Children), CAFA Development Organization, (Stichting Vluchteling/IRC), World Relief, HOPE, (Tearfund), Alsawaid Alkhadara Organizationc (AAO), (World Vision), SOS Sahel, CDF, (ZOA). Sudan is facing an unprecedented crisis. The sudden outbreak of armed conflict has proven to be disastrous in a country already facing a major humanitarian crisis. Over 24 million people now need urgent humanitarian assistance, both in areas facing humanitarian crises for many years and in areas that until recently were less affected.

The intervention focuses in particular on protection services required to ensure the populations’ safety from violence and abuse as well as food assistance, water and sanitation, and direct cash support. The objective of this JR is to respond to the acute humanitarian needs among the most vulnerable individuals displaced or severely affected by the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan. The activities carried out under this Joint Response include: - Protection services: providing psychosocial support, dedicated case management, facilitating referrals for gender-based violence prevention and response services, distribution of dignity kits to girls and women, and awareness raising on child recruitment. - WASH: providing access to soap, sufficient and safe water, and clean sanitary facilities, as well as awareness-raising activities on hygiene. - Health: supporting the rehabilitation of selected health facilities, including primary health care consultations, and supporting community-based treatment for malaria, diarrhea, and other acute infections. - Food security and livelihood: contributing to food access, via food distribution and by establishing communal kitchens. - Shelter: provision of basic, safe, and dignified shelter solutions, while also equipping households with non-food items. - Cash assistance: distributing cash transfers to households ensuring freedom, dignity, and choice to decide on their recovery. Joint response partners have been actively engaged in humanitarian response efforts in Sudan, with relevant track record of experience, existing capacities in terms of staffing and presence, and relevant sector expertise. The joint response also leverages from existing capacities of local/NNGO partners that have long standing presence in the country, working with diverse stakeholders and partners in the selected states and localities. Partners have relevant expertise in the selected sectors for response, as evidenced in the partner mapping and ability to quickly respond and adapt to challenging contexts. The joint response builds on the strong coordination capacity of partners that are already engaging with relevant stakeholders, for example also in the Protracted Sudan JR. Joint response partners are well-placed to drive the proposed response so that it addresses the people most in need of humanitarian assistance, in line with the principles of accountability to affected populations (AAP), while prioritizing the most vulnerable and urgently in need of support. The beneficiary selection will be based on the most affected given that the current Sudan Crisis is unique and dynamic. These are estimated as being IDPs, refugees and host communities who have been directly affected. From the total reported IDP caseload, field teams indicate that 109,000 individuals (21,800 households) are foreign nationals. Protection: The JR will support various prevention measures, also increasing dissemination of protection information, contributing to capacity strengthening, implementing strategies to prevent and respond to child recruitment at various levels. Moreover, the JR will also enhance support to separated and unaccompanied children, while also strengthening child protection mechanisms including dedicated case management, and facilitating referrals for specialized GBV prevention and response services. Protection activities will also include distribution of dignity kits to 1300 vulnerable adolescent girls and young women, especially child/young mothers with protection risks. Awareness raising will be done to prevent recruitment, cases of child recruitment will be reported through MRM and a target of 50 former CAAFAGS will be supported for community reintegration(3 sessions). In Al Jazirah (Alsahisa, Um Algura and Sharg Aljazeera), World Relief and HOPE will distribute protection kits for 1200 women and girls. In addition, 13,953 people will be targeted from conflict-affected HHs for sensitization about specific GBV related risks. Psychosocial support services (PSS) both in camps and in schools will be provided to targeted 1485 children. WASH: The JR will increase access to soap to meet hygienic needs, also contributing to access to dignified, safe, clean and functional excreta disposal facilities, and access to sufficient and safe water for domestic use. Efforts will also contribute rehabilitating functional drainage networks, and hygiene promotion through awareness raising activities. Health: The JR will support the rehabilitation of select health facilities, including primary health care consultations, and supporting community based treatment for malaria, diarrhea and or acute respiratory infections that impact children. In Al Jazirah (Wad Medani), IRC and CAFA will conduct needs assessment and rehabilitation of two health facilities, in addition to distribution of essential drugs and medical supplies, and the deployment of key medical cadres to support health facilities to deliver health services targeting 12,460 persons. Community health volunteers will also be supported by CAFA to deliver integrated community case management for malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea, combined with health awareness and sensation at community level, and referrals. Also in Al Jazirah (Alsahisa, Um Algura and Sharg Aljazeera ) 4 health facilities and 2 mobile clinics will by supported by Tearfund through its partner World Relief, to provide primary health care services targeting 14664 people in the gathering areas and host communities in need for essential lifesaving support. In addition, community-based treatment will target 4,640 children for malaria, diarrhoea, and/or acute respiratory infection. Food Security and Livelihoods: The JR aims to contribute to available of, access to and consumption of food. In North Darfur and Al Jazirah (Al-Fasher; and Um Algura and Sharg Al Jazira Localities), ZOA and its partners SOS Sahel and CDF will support food distribution to households who can cook and through communal kitchens, targeting 8100 persons. Shelter: The JR will support people with access to basic, safe and dignified shelter solutions, and provision of NFIs. In Al Jazirah and Blue Nile (Wad Medani, Kamlin, and Damazine locations), Save the Children and RAISE, will support 230 people (46 HHs) through provision of cash for rent. The assistance will cover three months of rent, in line with the Shelter/NFI cluster recommendations. A estimate of 1080 persons (216 HHs) will be provided with NFI kits. MPC: The Joint Response aims to reach 5362 persons with unconditional and unrestricted cash transfers. In White Nile (El Gableen, Eldwiem), Plan International and ASSIST will provide multipurpose cash assistance in line with cash WG standards. Cash distribution will be preceded by a market assessment and followed up with post-distribution monitoring. White Nile state currently does have availability of cash and the design of this element was discussed and aligned with the local cash WG. In Al Jazirah and Blue Nile (Wad Medani, Kamlin, and Damazine locations), Save the Children and RAISE will support 1296 persons with 3 installments of MPC to meet basic needs. In East Darful (Eldaen) World Vision will register 1800 persons (300HH) to receive monthly cash entitlement to access the Local Food Basket & WASH NFIs needs, over two months. In addition to the MPCA payments mentioned above, World Vision will make a one-time cash transfer for cooking utensil provision. Joint response partners have been actively engaged in humanitarian response efforts in Sudan, with relevant track record of experience, existing capacities in terms of staffing and presence, and relevant sector expertise. The joint response also leverages from existing capacities of local/NNGO partners that have long standing presence in the country, working with diverse stakeholders and partners in the selected states and localities. There is an existing DRA PC JR in country, which will use crisis modifiers and re-programming to address the emerging needs in areas of programming, as part of continued commitment to communities also directly affected by the present crisis. The scale and scope of humanitarian needs across the country, however, significantly surpasses existing resources available. The DRA Acute Crisis Mechanism enables a scale up of response efforts in Sudan. Close coordination and collaboration would enable a timely response that also ensures wide reach, in line with the scale and scope of present humanitarian needs in Sudan. This would be carried out in close coordination and collaboration with response efforts through the Protracted Crisis Mechanism, which is ongoing until after the current ACJR.

Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: Sexual exploitation of children (SEC) is a grave violation of children’s rights and annually affects millions of children and youths worldwide. Starting in March 2023, the Down to Zero alliance will run a three year programme in 12 countries across Asia and Latin America called Step Up the Fight Against Sexual Exploitation of Children (SUFASEC). Plan International will work with alliance partners in Brazil, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines to ensure that children are better protected against sexual exploitation. Three interlinking pathways of change are key: 1. Children, youth and their communities successfully challenge social norms and harmful practices related to SEC; 2. Children and youth have access to and are supported by strengthened assets and protective environments; 3. Children and civil society meaningfully participate in holding duty bearers, including government and local authorities, accountable for their obligations towards improved (implementation of) laws. Step Up the Fight Against Sexual Exploitation of Children (SUFASEC) is a new programme by the Down to Zero Alliance. The programme aims for children in all of their diversity to live free of sexual exploitation. The programme uses a multi-sector, multi-actor and systemic approach, recognising the complexity of SEC and specific contexts in which it takes place. The Down to Zero Alliance (Terre des Hommes Netherlands, Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children- ECPAT, Free a Girl, CRC Asia and Conexión) will work with civil society organisations (CSOs) in the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Brasil, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic. With a total budget of 15 million, this three year programme which started March 1st 2023, will reach more than 21,000 children. Social norms play a role in enabling SEC and in keeping it invisible. A culture of tolerance, violence and adult-centrism normalises SEC, and means that those in responsible caregiving roles (parents, families, community leaders, etc.) may tolerate or even facilitate or perpetrate SEC. The environment at home can increase or decrease a child’s vulnerability to SEC. An environment characterised by high levels of domestic violence, poverty and instability creates supportive conditions for abuse and exploitation. Legal environments are often inadequate, loosely enforced and characterised by impunity. Legal gaps inhibit the protection from and response to SEC. Issues continue to exist with registering cases and aggregating, sharing and disclosing data at national levels. Lack of data conceals the magnitude and complexity of the problem and keeps SEC off the priority list. The programme will work towards the following long-term impact: “Children in all of their diversity are better protected from sexual exploitation.” This will be reached through three interlinking objectives: 1. Children, youth and their communities successfully challenge social norms and harmful practices related to SEC 2. Children and youth have access to and are supported by strengthened assets and protective environments 3. Children and civil society meaningfully participate in holding duty bearers, including government and local authorities, accountable to their obligations towards improved (implementation of) laws, policies, and systems. Social norms and harmful practices are key drivers of SEC. Social norm change begins at home, and for children, youth and their communities to challenge these norms, they must exercise high levels of agency and autonomy over their own bodies and lives. To the extent that children and adolescents recognize themselves as subjects of rights, they can also better understand SRHR as fundamental, and both children and youth in general, as well as victims of SEC, can aspire to exercise a healthy sexuality that includes respect for their personal integrity and decisions about their bodies. To the extent that they are recognized as subjects of rights, all children and youth are also able to demand access to inclusive protection services that both duty bearers and co-responsible parties can provide. This agency can be supported through positive parenting, strong family ties and supportive community members. Acting together, children, their caregivers and communities, can achieve meaningful change in how all children engage with and are valued by society. SEC can be reduced, and its impact appropriately mitigated through access to appropriate assets and through provision of protective environments for children. Economic resilience is a key means of mitigating against monetary drivers of SEC. Children need access to child-centered, inclusive and locally available protection and SRHR information and services, delivered and received without stigma. With so many varied actors involved in protection and referral mechanisms it is important that such services are delivered in a holistic and coordinated manner. By supporting the specialized care and reintegration services that CSOs provide to SEC victims, it is possible to strengthen the restitution of their rights and integrity, especially in contexts where the role of the government in child-friendly and inclusive service provision is still weak. Laws, policies and systems can help in the prevention and response to SEC by setting standards for and detailing obligations of duty bearers. This includes the development and adoption, but also effective implementation in day-to-day-practice, including adequate staffing and resourcing. Improved data collection and analysis informs advocacy efforts as well as duty bearers about the scope, pervasiveness and complexity of SEC, as well as on solutions. The Alliance informs stakeholders from public sector, private sector and civil society on the existing (inter-)national obligations and frameworks, provides practical tools and training on how to best fulfil their obligations, and facilitates multi-stakeholder collaboration. The SUFASEC programme builds on the Alliance’s collective achievements to date, scaling up the 2016- 2020 Down to Zero (DtZ), 2020-2021 Voice for Change (VfC), and 2021 – 2022 Building Back Better (BBB) programme. This allows the Alliance to effectively address SEC in the continuously evolving context. In all selected countries, Alliance members (or network members) have a strong combined track record. In ten countries and at regional/international level, the programme builds on previously mentioned programmes. Guatemala and Laos were added as a results of needs analysis and opportunities identified with their geographic locations along key migration pathways. In all countries respective alliance members have individual and joint experience working on improved prevention and response to SEC. Alliance members have worked together on this issue in different formations as well. CRC Asia is a new member to the alliance bringing a very welcome additional expertise working for and with children on protection from violence and SRHR issues. The key target group (and final beneficiaries) of the programme are girls and boys up to 18 years old, who are victims and survivors and those at risk of SEC. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. Under the 3 outcome areas the following intermediate outcomes will be achieved: 1.Parents and caregivers exercise positive parenting and strengthen family ties • Conducting awareness-raising activities, workshops and counselling for positive parenting (and SEC and SRHR) 2.More children exercise higher levels of agency and autonomy over their bodies and lives • Conduct training to children on SEC, SRHR, online safety, CPS and CSE taking into account gender and intersectional dimensions 3.Communities contribute to changed social norms and practices • Awareness-raising to communities on SEC and tak action to address harmful social norms Support children/youth to become advocates/ agents of change or peer-to-peer educators 4.Increased agency of families and communities in the protection of children from SEC and their response to reported cases • Conduct training to CSOs, families and communities (including schools) on SEC, SRHR and child protection adapted to their needs • Strengthen community-based child protection committees/networks to take action against SEC 5.Strengthened economic resilience • Provision of vocational training and entrepreneurship skills 6.Greater and safer access to quality child protection and local SRHR information and services • Provision of comprehensive care and support (social, psychological, and legal) • Capacity building of teachers, CPS actors and LEAs on SEC, SRHR and child protection 7.Increased access to life skills and education for children and youth • Provision of life skills, and specialised education • Strengthening youth centres and educational institutes for providing life skills training and/or incl. CSE, and SEC related information 8.Improved coordination of child-friendly service delivery (between sectors and across levels) • Facilitate coordination between relevant agencies and duty bearers to ensure adequate assistance and appropriate service provision • Training to CPS actors and LEAs for coordinated child friendly and inclusive services 9. Increased recognition among duty bearers on their role in SEC prevention and response, including streamlined data collection and analysis • Multi-stakeholder meetings on their role in combatting SEC in collaboration with each other • L&A actions and training for collection and analysis of data related to SEC and for a comprehensive SEC response 10. Better recognition in private sector of required and potential roles in SEC prevention & response based on (inter)national commitments to business and human rights • Awareness raising and training to private sector on SEC, child protection. • L&A to hold these actors accountable to their obligations 11.Adoption and effective implementation of more SEC-focussed transformative policies and programs • Training and support for applying codes of conducts (i.e., The Code) to address SEC • Training to CPS actors and LEAs for coordinated child friendly and inclusive services Capacity-building is a central strategy to all three outcomes. Children and young people, CSOs, child protection system- and private sector actors will be provided with access to knowledge, skills and means to address the (technical) concepts of online/ offline SEC and online violence – its dangers and the much needed prevention, monitoring and response action. The expected impact is that by fully understanding the risks, children and young people are enabled to better protect themselves and to report cases within their families and communities. Moreover, their empowerment to influence duty bearers and decision makers on child protection, will contribute to more agile child- and gender responsive child protection systems in which the needs of children and young people are well reflected. By strengthening the technical- and institutional understanding among child protection system actors in online/ offline SEC prevention, response and monitoring, the project contributes to an improved protective environment for children and young people at risk/ and victims of OSEC and online violence in target areas. As the project makes use of technical platforms, where children and youth groups will safely learn, participate and assert, they are enabled to safely discuss fears, experiences, constraints and solutions related to online/ offline SEC and online violence. Collective technical platforms for both civil society, the private- and public sector will be established/ strengthened to enable CSOs and child- and youth (led) groups to effectively lobby for and discuss measures against OSEC and online violence.

They are, for example, more likely to face online sexual solicitation, grooming and coercion to perform sex acts during live streams. Plan International will work together with alliance members Child Rights Coalition-Asia (CRC-Asia), ECPAT Philippines, and Terre des Hommes (TdH) Netherlands in a three year programme. Since March 1st 2023, Plan International is working with children and youths, parents and community leaders, actors in the child protection system, government, and businesses in Manilla City and Dasmarinas. We work on changing social and gender norms that contribute to the sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines, on improving the protective environment through better quality and coordination of SRHR and child protection services, and to localize a newly-passed law to criminalize online sexual abuse and exploitation. This activity forms part of the Step Up the Fight Against Sexual Exploitation of Children (SUFASEC) programme. The programme will run in 12 countries in Latin America and South and South East Asia. In the Philippines root causes include harmful social and gender norms. The common perception that female sexuality needs to be controlled and that girls and women should not experience sexual pleasure are deep-rooted and serve as a driver of harmful practices. Masculine norms and violence are linked to that. Boys are often raised and even encouraged to use violence as a way of asserting their masculinity, conforming to socially recognised manhood, and reinforcing patriarchal power. Much violence remains hidden and children are often unable or unwilling to report acts of violence against them for fear of retribution. This is due to pressure and lack of support from parents and other adults, and due to mistrust in corrupt or poorly trained authorities and service providers. This is particularly true for sexual violence, where survivors and their families, especially boys, often face shame and stigma when coming forward. Root causes also include many children’s inability to build social assets that are essential to their protection, families’ economic hardship and exposure to negative shocks such as unemployment, illness or death within the family, or natural disasters. Urbanization and migration can contribute to children’s risk of exposure to SEC, particularly when family separation is involved or where children are migrating for work to support household income needs. The programme will work towards the following long-term impact: “Children in all of their diversity are better protected from sexual exploitation.” This will be reached through three interlinking objectives: 1. Children, youth and their communities successfully challenge social norms and harmful practices related to SEC 2. Children and youth have access to and are supported by strengthened assets and protective environments 3. Children and civil society meaningfully participate in holding duty bearers, including government and local authorities, accountable to their obligations towards improved (implementation of) laws, policies, and systems. Social norms and harmful practices are key drivers of SEC. Social norm change begins at home, and for children, youth and their communities to challenge these norms, they must exercise high levels of agency and autonomy over their own bodies and lives. To the extent that children and adolescents recognize themselves as subjects of rights, they can also better understand SRHR as fundamental, and both children and youth in general, as well as victims of SEC, can aspire to exercise a healthy sexuality that includes respect for their personal integrity and decisions about their bodies. To the extent that they are recognized as subjects of rights, all children and youth are also able to demand access to inclusive protection services that both duty bearers and co-responsible parties can provide. This agency can be supported through positive parenting, strong family ties and supportive community members. Acting together, children, their caregivers and communities, can achieve meaningful change in how all children engage with and are valued by society. SEC can be reduced, and its impact appropriately mitigated through access to appropriate assets and through provision of protective environments for children. Economic resilience is a key means of mitigating against monetary drivers of SEC. Children need access to child-centered, inclusive and locally available protection and SRHR information and services, delivered and received without stigma. With so many varied actors involved in protection and referral mechanisms it is important that such services are delivered in a holistic and coordinated manner. By supporting the specialized care and reintegration services that CSOs provide to SEC victims, it is possible to strengthen the restitution of their rights and integrity, especially in contexts where the role of the government in child-friendly and inclusive service provision is still weak. The SUFASEC programme in the Philippines builds on the Alliance’s collective achievements to date, scaling up the 2016- 2020 Down to Zero (DtZ), 2020-2021 Voice for Change (VfC), and 2021 – 2022 Building Back Better (BBB) programme. This allows the Alliance to effectively address SEC in the continuously evolving context. Plan International Philippines joined the Down to Zero alliance during the BBB programme and brought to the country team a rich experience of working with large Internet Service Providers, schools, children and youth, local communities, government at local and national level, CSO networks, and service providers. Plan International Philippines continues to do so along with a focus on gender transformative programming, a strong understanding of intersectionality and changing social and gender norms. Other projects that are linked are 1. Safer Kids Philippines, funded by UNICEF, a study to inform localized social and behaviour change communication strategies against online sexual exploitation of children (2022 – 2023) 2. Systems Approach for Ensuring Online Safety and Empowerment of Children and young People (SAFE Online). Funded by the EU, the action promotes empowerment of vulnerable children and youths to demand prevention and response against OSEC and online violence and their meaningful participation in policy and program development and local planning processes (2022 – 2024) 3. Cyber-Safe Spaces for Children and Youth in the cities of Manila and Quezon City. Empowering children and youths with cyber safety skills; educating parents, social service providers and duty-bearers on OSEC, and enabling local industries to proactively prevent OSEC. The key target group (and final beneficiaries) of the programme are girls and boys up to 18 years old, who are victims and survivors and those at risk of SEC. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. Under the 3 outcome areas the following intermediate outcomes will be achieved: 1.Parents and caregivers exercise positive parenting and strengthen family ties • Educating parents and caregivers on SEC, SRHR and protection mechanisms to be active partners • Development of localized user-friendly materials for parents, and caregivers, conduct of community education sessions on SEC. • Provision of integrated parenting support interventions in local parenting effectiveness sessions • Working with local social welfare offices to integrate training on online risks in family development sessions for beneficiaries of the Philippines' Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.5 2.More children exercise higher levels of agency and autonomy over their bodies and lives • Strengthening capacity of children and youth (CAY) groups to take proactive steps on online safety and SEC prevention. • Co-creation strategies with CAY groups to develop innovative, creative, age-appropriate social and behavior change communication materials on SEC and encouraging victim resilience. • Organize and train CAY groups to participate in regional hubs, to be organized by Plan under this project. • CAY groups will be mobilized to provide peer support roll-outs on SEC, SRHR, gender norms and referral pathways/ CPS, using SBCC materials developed. Plan will also make use of existing information apps such as Oky to promote SRHR-related information and provide support to young women experiencing reproductive health issues. 3.Communities contribute to changed social norms and practices • Integrated SEC prevention and education in selected schools and communities. • Develop age, gender and culturally sensitive gamified contents on online protection and SEC prevention. • Work with schools and surrounding communities to integrate SEC preventive measures in child protection protocols, build capacity of teachers and organize learning sessions with students. 4.Increased agency of families and communities in the protection of children from SEC and their response to reported cases • Training CSOs, families and communities (including schools) on SEC, SRHR and child protection adapted to their needs 5.Strengthened economic resilience Economic poverty and experience of household and community-level shocks are considered to be major drivers for violence against children including engagement to commercial sexual exploitation of children. • To avert this, youth and families of SEC will be provided with direct assistance support to be used for livelihood projects to facilitate their reintegration and/or prevent from them from going back to SEC practices. The process will entail mapping of the capacity of the family to start - up livelihood as well market scanning. Skills and entrepreneurship training will be provided among selected youths. 6.Greater and safer access to quality child protection and local SRHR information and services • Linking victims and survivors of SEC to free psychosocial and legal services. • Process will be embedded within orientations conducted with stakeholders and communities, and through inclusion of accessible mechanisms such as helplines. 7.Increased access to life skills and education for children and youth • Collaborate with Lifeskills program providers that would enhance CAYs creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making in order to create a proactive youth, along with personal and social responsibility that contribute to good citizenship. These are basic skills that will enable the CAYs to handle issues and problems encountered in daily life, online and offline 8.Improved coordination of child-friendly service delivery (between sectors and across levels) • Organizing multi-stakeholder hubs for sharing of practices and service referrals and policy inputs on OSEC. • Organizing regional hubs to pilot multi-stakeholder approaches and will be a platform for information and best practice-sharing and elevating solutions across government units, civil society organizations and CAY organizations, and will be provided with relevant technical support. • Using documentation of practices from the hubs, the project will develop policy briefs and a comprehensive OSEC response plan to support decision-makers with the development of the national strategic plan on OSEC. 9. Increased recognition among duty bearers on their role in SEC prevention and response, including streamlined data collection and analysis • Developing the capacity of multi-disciplinary teams composed of social workers, police officers, and other frontliners in handling and managing cases of SEC. • Training of Multi-Disciplinary Teams, and development of SEC toolkit to serve as reference of duty-bearers on the reporting and management of SEC. Child-friendly toolkit will be developed for CAY organizations. 10. Better recognition in private sector of required and potential roles in SEC prevention & response based on (inter)national commitments Capacity-building is a central strategy to all three outcomes. Children and young people, CSOs, child protection system- and private sector actors will be provided with access to knowledge, skills and means to address the (technical) concepts of online/ offline SEC and online violence – its dangers and the much needed prevention, monitoring and response action. The expected impact is that by fully understanding the risks, children and young people are enabled to better protect themselves and to report cases within their families and communities.

By strengthening the technical- and institutional understanding among child protection system actors in online/ offline SEC prevention, response and monitoring, the project contributes to an improved protective environment for children and young people at risk/ and victims of OSEC and online violence in target areas. As the project makes use of technical platforms, where children and youth groups will safely learn, participate and assert, they are enabled to safely discuss fears, experiences, constraints and solutions related to online/ offline SEC and online violence. Collective technical platforms for both civil society, the private- and public sector will be established/ strengthened to enable CSOs and child- and youth (led) groups to effectively lobby for and discuss measures against OSEC and online violence.

Baseline with children and youth shows that 3 in every 10 claims that they mostly know where to get information and services for the sexual and reproductive health; 7 in 10 said that it is only sometimes true; and less than 1 in 10 said that they do know where to get SRH information and services. Asked where they get SRHR information, youth from Manila said that they get it from health experts such as nurse, trusted adults (including parents and elder siblings). There is also a gender component on what information they would ask of the adult depending on his/gender (e.g., if it is about menstruation, it should asked from their mothers, and information on semen from fathers). Some also get information from schools, but mostly on sexually transmitted diseases and teenage pregnancy prevention. The entry point for this project to give information on SRHR is through introduction of SEC (sexual exploitation of children) and how it can be prevented through SRHR. A children and youth Facilitator's Training in December 2023 was conducted with a session on "Sexuality Education for Children and Adolescents". In their learning journal, participants noted that one of the things they learned during the training are topics on "sexuality education for children and adolescents,CSE should be accessible for all children." Another learning that was mentioned is "I learned more about sexuality. The training says that it is not just about gender, it is about the wholeness of a person. And that it is not just for adult. It is important to prevent teenage pregnancy."

During coaching and deepening sessions with CAY facilitators, they agreed that sex and sexuality should be openly discussed at home, in school, and in the community, and that children and adolescents should be offered contraceptive options before becoming sexually active, especially given the context where children have already started engaging in sexual activities. Children (10 to 14 yo) and youth (15 to 24 yo). CAY will be reached with correct, age- and gender-appropriate knowledge on SRHR, including gender awareness, to improve their behavior and perspectives on gender and sexuality. Trained CAY facilitators (during Y1) have initiated to conduct peer-to-peer sessions on SRHR with their peer. The objective of these sessions is for CAY's behavior to improve after processing their learnings and experiences during the SRHR session (i.e., CAY know when and where to access SRHR services in the community). These young females were reached through the peer-to-peer and community-initiated learning sessions on awareness of the sexual exploitation of children and how to report child protection cases. Peer-to-peer approach by the trained youth facilitators proved to be effective in reaching out to youth both in the community and in schools and serves as a “multiplier” of efforts in conducting sessions with youth. Children (10 to 14 yo) and youth (15 to 24 yo) The entry point for this remains on SEC prevention and how SRHR is a tool to protect themselves. SRHR will be discussed deeper, including knowing one's self, awareness on one's gender and sexuality, and correct and age-appropriate information on pregnancy prevention or contraception. The aim of this to regard SRHR as a topic worth-discussing inside the homes, not to be regarded as obscene, and a tool for children to better protect themselves. This indicator also includes information on child protection and SEC-related information. Due to several roll-out sessions conducted by youth facilitators.

(This excludes 700 CAYs reached through Safer Internet Caravan.) Baseline value is set at 0. The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act (RPRH Law) (Republic Act 10354) supports access to family planning services; however, it requires parental consent for a child (under 18 yo) to access contraceptives. The Philippine HIV and AIDS Policy Act (Republic Act 11166) expanded access to HIV testing and treatment. HIV testing now allows for the screening of minors 15–17 years old without parental consent. This target is towards the passage of the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention that will give access to SRHR information and services to children and youth below 18 years old and social protection to those who are already young parents. Plan International Philippines supports the passage of proposed Adolescent Pregnancy Preventional Bill. Currently, the bill has already passed in the Lower House of Congress. The passage of the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (APP) bill remains uncertain due to neutral stance of the President and strong resistance from conservative groups and allies in the Congress. At the level of the City of Manila, the local ordinance of the Republic Act 11930 was passed on May 2024. In Manila, a local ordinance called Children’s Code has a provision on SEC/OSAEC prevention and response. In Dasmarinas, the city has a local ordinance specifically on OSAEC prevention. At the barangay level, no similar local ordinance has been passed. Plan International Philippines supports the passage of proposed Adolescent Pregnancy Preventional Bill. The bill has already passed in the Lower House of Congress. Communities (barangay) can also pass local policies (ordinance) at their level to support the implementation of the recently passed RA 11930 (Anti-OSAEC Law) and RA 11862 (Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act), among others. Y2 Support was given to the APP bill during the strong national conversation (e.g., release of statement and support) and support was provided to the adoption of the Manila Anti-OSAEC Ordinance and Manila Code of Conduct as an attachment to the child protection policy. Y3 Passage of the Manila Anti-OSAEC Ordinance, and two (2) Community-level government/Barangays signing Agreement/Kasunduan for PisoNet or Community-based Internet providers There are CSOs engaged in providing SRHR services, which have their own by-laws. In target barangays in Manila, Likhaan is one CSO providing SRHR services. Likhaan is also a member of PIAN (Parola Interagency Network). In target barangays in Dasmarinas, no similar CSO has been identified. This targets two CSOs to improve their by-laws to improve access or decrease barriers to SRHR services. One is PIAN in Manila and another CSO yet to be identified in Dasmarinas. Learning sessions on child protection and SRHR have been conducted, and Year 3 will focus more on improving internal policies of partner CSOs. CSO members of PIAN (Parola Interagency Network) committed to adopt a PSHEA policy and/or enhance their current Child Safeguarding Policy after our PSHEA training with them Age group: Child 10-14 Youth 15-24 This indicator also includes services on child protection and SEC-related services.. In baseline with children, 1 in every 2 youth believes that their community will not agree with when a youth use contracetives, one of the many SRH services one can access. In Manila, one youth noted that it is uncommon to use contraceptives, and even uncommon to get approval from the community on its use. She said, "It is uncommon to use contraceptives [that's why] many [teens] get pregnant in our community... including myself." In Dasmarinas, youth claimed that the reaction of the community to youth using contraceptives would not be positive, with some saying "they're still too youth for that." Children (10 to 14 yo) and youth (15 to 24 yo) Children and youth are accessing SRH services provided by providers (e.g., social hygiene clinics, barangay/city health centers, CSOs providing services such as Likhaan). This also includes children and youth accessing child protection services provided by social services office (e.g., CSWDO of Dasma, MDSW of Manila, and barangays). Provision of SRH services is coupled with rollout trainings to make the services readily available to participants should they want/need to access it. Young people will be reached through SRHR training in the community. Number will be based on the recorded data in the local health office. Age group: Child 10-14 yo Youth 15-24 This indicator also includes services on child protection and SEC-related services. Data on child protection from the City Social Welfare and Development Office of Dasmarinas shows that in 2023, 202 children have experienced abuse and exploitation, mostly have experienced sexual abuse (disaggregated by sex, 172 were females, 30 were males). This means that they seek child protection from the city, but no information on whether they felt safe in accessing the service. However, in terms of SRHR services accessed by youth, a health worker in Manila noted that she had never experienced an adolescent seeking help or visiting the health centers in the community in order to discuss or to access SRHR information and services. Note that this data only shows data from the Dasmarinas City Social Welfare and Development Office on cases of child abuse and exploitation/child protection data. The project has not yet gathered data from the Social Hygiene Clinics or Rural Health Units on the number of youth who have accessed SRH services. Children (10 to 14 yo) and youth (15 to 24 yo). CAY will be reached with correct, age- and gender-appropriate knowledge on SRHR, including gender awareness, to improve their behavior and perspectives on gender and sexuality. Trained CAY facilitators (during Y1) have initiated to conduct peer-to-peer sessions on SRHR with their peer. The objective of these sessions is for CAY's behavior to improve after processing their learnings and experiences during the SRHR session (i.e., CAY do not feel ashamed to visit SRHR service providers). Plan contributed to this reach through its activities in Manilla and Dasmarinas. Data comes from the City Social Welfare and Development Offices in Manilla and Dasmarinas. Plan was able to reach more youth than planned due to its involvement with the local government's 4 P programme. Age group: Child 10-14 Youth 15-24 This indicator also includes services on child protection and SEC-related services.

In terms of child protection, this data is from the City Social Welfare and Development Office of Dasmarinas. It shows that in 2024, these children experienced abuse and exploitation and sought child protection services from the city, but no information was provided on whether they felt safe in accessing the service. It is disaggregated by sex (male/female) and not only limited on the 3 target barangays. For the endline/Year 3 data, FGD will be conducted in different communities to gather information on what they felt in accessing SRH services and whether they felt safe. intermediate outcome 1.2 Youth knows a lot of onlline apps. When asked the kind of risky things that they do online, there are some that includes self-facilitated OSAEC. During the CAY baseline, both youth groups from Manila and Dasmarinas acknowledged the risks online. They noted that sometimes, links could lead to pornographic materials and that people they meet online are not always good people. to be measured during end term evaluation. no data gathered.

Workshop with CAY groups in influencing in the form of Co-Creation of SBCC Materials This only refers to contracted CSO only. Hence, since no official contract was made with ERDA Youth, PYAP and Youth Voices from 3 barangays, they are not counted here. For this indicator, community means barangay. The barangay members (i.e., parents, staff, etc.) need training on lobbying for strengthening child protection, such as budget allocation, local level policy, etc. in their barangay. The target is to increase their L&A capacity to include SEC and child protection. This may include more activities to fight SEC and promote child protection through linking with other stakeholders, expressing and being heard by their local government, and being recognized as a stakeholder by their local government.

NL-KVK-41198890-SDN100409 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: In Sudan, conflict between the SAF and RSF erupted on April 15, 2023. While fighting has been chiefly concentrated in the country’s capital, Khartoum, the conflict has impacted other regions as well. Over 12,000 people have been killed, with about 5.9 million displaced within the country, making it the largest internal displacement crisis globally. More than 7.2 million people have fled their homes, taking refuge inside and outside the country, with children representing about half of the people displaced. Sudan is now the country with the largest number of displaced people and the largest child displacement crisis in the world. In this JR, Plan International Sudan, ASSIST and FPDO will respond to the urgent WASH, FSL and Protection needs that have arisen since the conflict aiming to support 9030 people in need. The ongoing and escalating violence has directly impacted hundreds of thousands of civilians, resulting in loss of life, widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure & complete disruption of basic services. Electricity, water and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as businesses & homes, have been damaged, looted or destroyed. HHs are running low on food, fuel & cash, while prices of basic commodities have risen by 40-60 % in some areas. Food insecurity continues to rise and is becoming a life-threatening concern for many as food production, inflation, supply chain disruptions & fuel shortages have led to shortages & price hikes, leading to many unable to afford even basic goods. Also, states that host displaced populations present significant gaps in terms of WASH. The recent crisis has had a devastating impact on access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene, increasing risk of water borne diseases, including cholera & mosquito-borne diseases. In terms of Protection, there are persistent gaps: protection monitoring services; support to services providers; strengthening of referral pathways; special attention on the differentiated needs & increased risks for girls & young women to SGBV; protection needs of children. The JR is designed to increase resilience by strengthening protection structures through training & capacity building, supporting the creation of linkages between actors, and updating and improving CP & GBV referral mechanisms. Also, it provides case management services and cash support to the most vulnerable children to increase the resilience of vulnerable community members. Within Protection, social cohesion through the formation of parenting life skills groups, girls shine groups, CFRM's, awareness sessions and the construction of CFS's for adolescents is also a focus. Parenting sessions will provide parents who are struggling with tools to care for their children positively and productively, while the girls shine groups will help married and unmarried girls to understand girls’ perspectives and realities on child marriage. FSL activities intend to increase resilience by providing vocational training, start up kits & training on business management. It also provides a comprehensive agricultural package for rural communities to increase food security through climate-adapted agriculture among vulnerable farmers. The WASH package will increase resilience of vulnerable communities by supporting hygiene campaigns and committees. This JR builds on the experiences & lessons learned of the previous PCJR in both SK and ND. Most of the resilience building activities prioritized in the project are a continuation of ongoing interventions in JR4. Additional components such as WASH are expected to alleviate the critical needs of women & girls; mitigating the protection risks they face in fetching water from remote locations & improving their wellbeing through access to safe potable water. Previous learning has informed the split of activities between Plan, ASSIST & FPDO so that all can use their expertise effectively to carry out each of the project activities. Lessons learned are also being incorporated into the design of the CFRM to ensure community consultation and engagement to ensure accountability to affected people and ensuring ownership of local communities. The importance of building core CP skills & capacities that are transferable to case management has also been highlighted. Therefore, priority has been given to building skills of the case management workforce. Also, it has been found that involving children in decision-making processes regarding their protection fosters a sense of ownership & empowerment so this will be incorporated in JR5 as well. Plan's main target groups will be girls, boys, and adolescents. These groups have been identified to be exposed to great protection risks. To improve their protection and contribute to the prevention of risks, vulnerable children, adolescents and their families will be targeted as part of this programme. People with Disabilities are always considered in our interventions. The partners have developed a program leaning on the scenario whereby in year 1 the focus of the project will lie on immediate lifesaving needs and years 2 and 3 the focus will lie more on resilience-oriented programming. In terms of accessibility, locations identified in this project are currently relatively accessible. However, should the situation change for the worse the partners and Plan will shift the activities to other locations, including potential cross border operations or a shift to other states. Also, Plan and Partners have reserved budget for crisis modifiers to respond to crises that may happen in other states such as Kassala, Gedaref and While Nile. There are six expected outcomes and eighteen corresponding outputs within this project, spread over three different sectors. Protection: 1. Improved protection access of vulnerable children and adolescents through comprehensive age-appropriate case management, Family Tracing and Reunification, alternative care and economic support including safe referrals to specialized services.

The partners joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2019-2023. Based on the persisting high needs in Sudan, the DRA has decided to continue to provide life-saving assistance from 2024-2026. Between 2024-2026, thirteen organisations will implement the DRA Sudan JR: Plan International (as lead), Stichting Vluchteling (through IRC), ZOA and SOS Children’s Villages, AA, ASSIST, AMVO, CAFA, FPDO, GPA, NAHA, SOS Sahel and VetCare. Interventions will be implemented in the sectors of Food, Security & Livelihoods, Health, WASH, (Child) Protection, Multipurpose Cash, Education & Nutrition in seven States. Before the crisis, Sudan already had 3.7M displaced people in the country. Since the start of the hostilities between the SAF and RSF in April, over a million persons have been affected, including internally displaced individuals and refugees across the country. According to the May 2023 HRP update, 24.7 million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance, reflecting an increase of 8.9 million people who are newly affected individuals who are in need of humanitarian assistance. The context in Sudan is complex and characterized by overlapping crisis situations due to conflict, economic crisis, and climate related shocks and emergencies. Sudan is on the list of forgotten crisis assessment of 2022-2023, and the current context in the country is rapidly changing. The scale and speed of what is unfolding is unprecedented. The current context has further deteriorated the living situation for the population, with an escalation of conflict that has resulted in mass displacements across the country, stretching existing services and increasing humanitarian needs. The scope and scale of the damage includes large disruptions of critical services & assistance, also resulting in new critical sector specific needs/gaps. The proposed programme is informed by the 2023 Humanitarian Needs Overview and aligned to the updated 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan. The revised HRP updates the response strategy in the initial HRP, specifically regarding the scale-up of life-saving multisectoral assistance & protection services in line with HRP Strategic Objectives (SO) 1 & 2, including related to implementation approaches and costs. Programming related to SO 3 of the HRP (access to livelihood & basic services) will be paused and, depending on contextual developments, successively re-established within the scope initially foreseen in the HRP. Similarly, SO 4 will be resumed once the situation allows in the mid-term. Complementary multi-sector assistance, resilience building & protection mainstreaming will remain at the core of the programming as was the case during SDNJR 1-4. The overall objective of the SDNJR5 is as follows: The Sudan Joint Response 4 aims to address the needs in 2022 and 2023 by providing affected people with multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most at risk and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North-, East- and South Darfur, South Kordofan, White Nile, Aljazeera and Gedaref. The primary target groups of the project are displaced communities in & out of camps, returnees and host communities in North, South and East Darfur, South Kordofan, Gedaref, White Nile & Aljazeera. The program participants include children, adolescents, youth, men, & women from households below the poverty line or households that included persons with disabilities (PWD).

Wag Hemra zone in Amhara has been affected by the Tigray conflict in the past years, with some of its woredas still inaccessible due to the presence of armed forces. Health and WASH facilities are severely damaged and the community-based protection structures have been severely weakened due to the war. Further, the area was affected by drought, with severe impact of the population's source of livelihood. High number of protection concerns are reported, including at least 38% of children being unaccompanied and/or separated. High frequency of early marriage is another concern that this intervention hopes to tackle. Overall, 29,477 individuals are expected to be reached throughout the project period, through FSL, WASH, Health and Protection activities. Due to overlapping crises, over 28,6 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Ethiopia. In Amhara, needs are driven by droughts, and conflicts. The Ziquala woreda in Amhara is severely impacted the escalation of violence within the region and the North of the country, as well as recurrent drought. This situation creates damages of infrastructures, such as WASH facilities, and disrupts crisis-affected people's livelihood, exposing them to malnutrition, and disease outbreaks. Overall, these circumstances intensify child protection risks, particularly for girls, exposed to gender-based violence, forced marriages, family separation, child labour, and psychosocial distress. Humanitarian workers also face security and mobility constraints in Amhara, sometimes forcing them to suspend their operations. This intervention aims to provide complementary multi-sectoral and integrated life-saving humanitarian support to conflict and drought affected people in need - both displaced and non-displaced - in Ziquala woreda of Amhara region. Most vulnerable and at-risk groups are prioritized in the sectors of Food security, Health, WASH and Child Protection, relying on multi-purpose cash as a delivery modality, in line with the priorities from the humanitarian response plan (HRP) of 2023 for Amhara. Based on geographical presence, experience and capacities, the EJR partners plan a response where regions and sectors complement each other and provide an integrated joint response. For Plan, this means working together with local partner Positive Action for Development who will provide FSL and Health services, integrated with Plan's response in WASH and Child Protection. The FSL activities consist of crop production, ruminants restocking, rehabilitation of community assets and resources, livestock vet promotion and income-generating activities. Vulnerable households will be actively engaged in all components. 15,000 people are targeted through FSL. To enhance access to WASH facilities, the project will rehabilitate non-functional water points while capacitating WASH management systems. Insttutional/communal latrines (based on need) will be rehabilitated. Families will receive cash to purchase essential WASH NFIs and adolescent school girls will be enabled to purchase MHM materials. The WASH component will reach 29,477 beneficiaries. The health system will be strengthened through capacity building of existing facilities and personnel. To provide immediate relief, essential drugs, medical supplies and equipment will be procured and distributed to health facilities. 15,668 people in need will be targeted under health. The child protection activities focus on systems strengthening, community capacity building, direct service provision, and awareness raising. 5,500 people will be targeted through protection services. Plan International and its local partner Positive Action for Development will target 29,477 unique beneficiaries under this project, identified and selected with the community.

Consumption support (food assistance) and access to safe drinking water are critical to saving lives in the immediate aftermath of a rapid onset emergency where the affected population's sources of livelihoods have been destroyed and water sources contaminated. According to INGD data (22 March 2023), the number of cholera cases has risen to 11,158 with a 0.7% fatality rate due to consumption of contaminated water. The loss of this year’s harvest puts more than 888,000 people from approximately 177,600 households at risk of food insecurity. The destruction caused by TCF presents serious consequences for young women and children, especially girls, who are at a higher risk of sexual exploitation and abuse. Cyclone Freddy brought devastating floods and destruction to Mozambique in February 2023. It made landfall on 24 Feb and then again on 11 March through Zambezia to other Provinces with max. winds of 148 km/h and gusts up to 213 km/h. According to 22 March data (INGD), Freddy affected 891,582 people (166 dead & 656 injured) in: Zambezia (628K), Sofala (140K), Tete (101K), Manica (6K) and Niassa (16K). As of 22 March, 180K people were displaced and housed in 217 accommodation centers. The number of affected people will increase as rains & floods continue and more needs assessments take place. Authorities foresee an increase in the volume of water discharges in the (sub)basins of the rivers upstream, which may cause moderate to high floods. Floods already affected hectares of crops ready for harvesting, impacting food security & peoples' main income source. Water supply and sanitation systems, electricity and roads were devastated. Heavy rains & floods (coupled with poor hygiene) are a concern as cholera cases are rising. As of 26 March (MISAU, Daily Cholera Bulletin), 18K Cholera cases were reported in 7 provinces incl. Zambezia. Damaged homes, lack of safe H2O & hygiene materials are posing particular risks for women & girls. Plan & NANA propose an integrated life-saving FSL & WASH response that is fully aligned with the CHS and SPHERE standards, aiming to meet immediate humanitarian needs while also building local capacities, involving programme beneficiaries in the project and ensuring accountability. Plan will provide food vouchers as well as hygiene kits (incl. water purification products) to prevent immediate loss of life due to hunger and cholera. Sector complimentary activities will include protection mainstreaming, health and hygiene messaging and awareness raising on cholera disease prevention, aiming to reach 9500 people. The project is fully in line with the relevant cluster standards, providing food vouchers with a value of 3820MT per month per HH for 3 months (targeting 950 HH), while also providing hygiene kits with contents in line with the WASH cluster’s agreed standard. A protection mapping will be completed in coordination with the Protection cluster, enabling referrals to specialised services wherever required. Plan & NANA have presence and existing working teams in Zambezia, with offices in Mocuba and the operational capacity to work in the affected districts. Both organisations are already actively responding to cyclone Freddy and have a great understanding of the area as well as a strong working relationship with local government, meaning that permissions to respond are already in place. Plan has been working with the local government, addressing the emergency situation since the first landfall in Zambezia, and jointly selected the target districts based on the identified needs. Plan & NANA will thus be able to start beneficiary identification and selection processes within 12 days of the project starting. Plan has pre-qualified relief suppliers and vendors, which will ensure the timely delivery of the hygiene kits and food vouchers. Rapid market assessments have also already been conducted in the target areas to inform the cash based intervention rapidly. The selection of target programme participants (beneficiaries) will be done in a participatory manner, in line with humanitarian principles to ensure that the most vulnerable people from the most affected communities are selected. From preliminary findings of the ongoing joint RNA, such vulnerable groups include households headed by women, households headed by children, households headed by elderly people, households headed by chronically ill persons or persons with disability, households with children that are already showing signs on malnutrition, households with PLWs or taking care of CwDs, as well as extremely large households. The acute-socio economic vulnerabilities in the affected areas are likely to increase the risks for vulnerable families, and particularly adolescent girls and women. This includes negative coping mechanisms such as CEFM, child trafficking and child labour as well as SGBV. Considering the above, the project expects to target more adult women than adult men.

Parenting programmes have been implemented to bolster gender-transformative thinking and psychosocial support. FSBS-2 will establish an evidence-based strategy to assure adequate interventions, Evidence that has been derived from FSBS-1 project, will be utilized to reinforce and shape the future activities as well. For example, the FSBS-2 project will utilize the male engagement findings to provide suggestions for exploring new techniques to execute the various interventions around male engagement, as well as to use the findings at policy level to establish policy that supports men in engaging with their children. In Jordan 82% of the children are engaged in childhood development activities, but only 22% of children are attending Early Childhood and Development (ECD) services. In 2016, the Government of Jordan launched its ten-year Human Resource Development Strategy, which includes ECCD as a key priority. However, addressing young children’s overall development remains critical, which was exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the ECD age-group was neglected in the MoE’s COVID-19 response plan. Within FSBS-1 a lack of coordination and collaboration between ECD stakeholders within and across the health sector has been identified as a key issue. The FSBS-1 steering committee recommended establishing a wider consortium within MoH that is connecting all ECD stakeholders, programmes, services, policies and budgets, enhancing the inclusive quality of ECD along a standardized ECD programme, and streamlining the coordination between its ECD partners to advocate for holistic ECD services. Hence for FSBS-2, a consortium, composed of Plan International, NCFA, RHAS, Humanity and Inclusion, Health Care Accreditation Council has been established. This consortium under the umbrella of the MoH will collaborate closely with the National ECD Team jointly aiming to prioritize ECD across sectors at the national level. The main priority for the consortium members (MoH, PI, NCFA, HI, HCAC, RHAS) under the joint pathway is to ensure that all the services that each party provided are well coordinated according to the agreed work plan and to take upon themselves the advocacy for the early childhood issues inside the Ministry of Health and under their umbrella and lead. While under pathway 2 MoH will be part of the national ECD team which include representatives from all sectors and organisations led by NCFA at national level to ensure proper coordination in different sectors between the stakeholders and organisations aligning with Jordan's Economic Modernization Vision 2022-2025. The primary objective is to strengthen and embed ECD even further within and across the health sector in Jordan so that girls and boys receive better care, support and services. By changing discriminating gender norms among female and male parents/caregivers and enabling them to understand their children's needs better, FSBS(2) aims to enhance nurturing practices. Furthermore, in the health sector ECD services will be enhanced and provided in a consistent, inclusive manner along endorsed ECD standards by MoH. Thirdly, an enabling environment will be created with well-resourced, evidence-based ECD parenting interventions integrated and coordinated across sectors according to ECD standards ensuring system strengthening and institulization for holistic ECD services. To achieve its goal FSBS-2 continues to work along the three interlinked long-term outcomes: 1. Parents and caregivers acquire the skills and knowledge to help children reach ECD milestones (participation in parenting sessions, understanding of ECD concepts, behaviour change). 2. Establishment of accreditation to standardize ECD programmes within Ministry of Health. 3. Enhanced coordination between ECD stakeholders within MoH for the provision of holistic ECD services (MoH Steering Committee produces agenda, workplan and follows through to meet objectives). 4. Launching of digital portal gathering all ECD-related data, information, available services that is accessible by relevant stakeholders. Enabling parents to understand children's needs better, will enhance their care and nurturing. To ensure ECD services are provided in a consistent, inclusive, qualitative manner, national standards will be developed, tested and endorsed by MoH. Inclusive ECD services such as early detection and referral are being strengthened in the health center. The enabling environment will be strengthened through an ECD portal and strong coordination, lobby led by the ECD team in accord. with national/inter. standards to ensure system strengthening Caregivers of young children from vulnerable backgrounds e.g. refugees, asylum seekers, families living in poverty or affected by other discrimination prohibiting integration into the community. ECD services for children under 6 years old will be provided. Finally adult professionals at the Ministry of Health, Education and MOH centres. - PLAN INTERNATIONAL NETHERLANDS role: donor accountability, supervising programme implementation, providing technical supporting regarding gender equality, ECD, Monitoring and Evaluation, donor reporting, financial control & administration, compliance. - PLAN INTERNATIONAL JORDAN (PIJ) role: coordination between partners/stakeholders, partners’ capacity strengthening, advocating for ECD as a national priority with other stakeholders, bringing in regional/ global ECD knowledge and experience, Project management, PMEL, quality assurance throughout the project implementation; Child Safeguarding and Gender Equality. - ROYAL HEALTH AWARENESS SOCIETY (RHAS) role: conducting parenting programs in MoH centres by delivering inclusive parenting content to health workers and parents, rolling out inclusive parenting training delivery, strengthening referral pathways, coordinating with other service providers/partners on parenting and working with MoH on institutionalized mechanisms to promote ECD. - THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR FAMILY AFFAIRS (NCFA) role: supervising the ECD Team to convene, gather evidence and prioritize ECD issues, advocating through national dialogues on ECD issues, working with ECD Team/other stakeholders on nationally recognized ECD standards and indicators, creating a portal including database of ECD resources, issuing the national ECD status report, lobbying line ministries/stakeholders on adopting ECD standards. - THE HEALTH CARE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL (HCAC) role: designing ECD standards, establish a National Recognition System, execute mock surveys at two MoH centers, awarding accreditation to 4 health centres; capacity building of health workers; providing consultation services to support change; supporting government in realizing their potential to steer healthcare improvement; enhancing performance related to governance, standards, accreditation, and capacity building; providing policy reform advice and enhancing engagement and awareness,. - Humanity & Inclusion in Jordan (HI) role: providing equipment to enhance Early Detection (ED) and inclusive services to health centres (8), MoH staff’s capacity strengthening on early detection, developmental milestones and national referral pathways, enhancing ED services at home through teaching caregivers child developmental milestones, referring children identified by the Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) volunteers to health centres to early detection services, providing early home-based interventions for children/caregivers, conducting monitoring visits.

The second landfall in Mozambique took place late on the 11th of March 2023 through the locality of Macuse in Namacurra district of Zambezia, with maximum winds of 148 km/h and gusts up to 213 km/h, bringing strong winds as well as heavy rains to Zambezia, Sofala, Manica, Tete and Niassa provinces. Some of these provinces received as much rain in 24 hours as they would usually experience in one month. Zambezia province was severely hit, particularly in the districts of Namacurra, Maganja da Costa, Quelimane, Mocuba and Mopeia. Overall, more than 976,000 people have been impacted by the cyclone. Priority needs reported include WASH, such as water purification tablets, hygiene kits, dignity kits, protection, health, food security, emergency shelters, as well as early recovery packages, including support with reconstruction materials and seeds, fuel and logistical support. The Acute Joint Response Mozambique aims to address the needs of people affected by the cyclone in the province or Zambezia and Sofala. These regions targeted by the programme were selected based on the high level of need as well as sector gaps, also taking into account opportunities for complementarity with other partners. The joint response provides support to people in need through a multi-sectoral approach, with focus on WASH, food security and livelihoods, education, protection, and shelter. JR partners will ensure a multi-sectorial response with focus on WASH, FSL, education, protection & shelter. The programme sector specific interventions integrate protection mainstreaming to maximize impact for the targeted individuals, HHs and communities affected by TC Freddy. JR partners have been actively engaged in humanitarian response efforts in Mozambique, with relevant track record of experience, existing capacities in terms of staffing and presence, and relevant sector expertise. The JR also leverages from existing capacities of local partners that have long standing presence in the country, working with diverse stakeholders and partners in the selected provinces and districts. Partners have relevant expertise in the selected sectors for response, as evidenced in the partner mapping, and ability to quickly respond and adapt to challenging contexts. The JR builds on the strong coordination capacity of partners that are already engaging with relevant stakeholders. JR partners are well placed to drive the response so that it addresses the people most in need of humanitarian assistance, in line with the principles of accountability to affected populations, prioritizing the most vulnerable and urgently in need of support. Total number of individuals targeted without double counting is 97,701 (19,540 HH). Vulnerable groups include HHs headed by: women, by children, by elderly people, by chronically ill persons or persons with disability (incl. those with multiple PwD), HHs with children already showing signs of malnutrition, HHs with PLWs or taking care of CwDs, as well as large households. Joint response partners will ensure a multi-sectorial response with focus on WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods, education, protection, and shelter. The programme sector specific interventions integrate protection mainstreaming to maximize impact for the targeted individuals, households and communities affected by TC Freddy. Proposed interventions are aligned with SPHERE standards, sector specific standards, and in line with local sector working group agreements in country. WASH: The programme contributes to hygiene promotion in both Zambezia and Sofala Province, including distribution of hygiene kits, conducting trainings in the use and storage of water purifier systems, and ensuring post distribution monitoring. Strengthening water supply is also expected through the provision of cholera prevention kits to affected households, distribution of water kits, promotion of safe water storage, and training of volunteers on safe water chain and water quality monitoring. Hygiene promotion and awareness raising activities are also planned, through community mobilization meetings and door to door sensitization, through diverse efforts for communications/messaging, and post distribution monitoring efforts. In sofala the programme will also contribute to increased access to dignified, safe clean and functional excreta disposal facilities. This is in line with sector gaps identified, and will be done through distribution of latrine concrete dome slabs, rehabilitation of sanitary facilities and orientation for local service providers on construction of latrines, in addition to construction of wash systems. Food security and livelihoods: In both Zambezia and Sofala province, the programme contributes to short-term livelihood support, through provision of resources to protect and start rebuilding livelihood assets. This will be done through community mobilisation and sensitisation, market assessments, establishment of agreement with food and agricultural inputs supplies, and distribution of agricultural packages, consisting of seeds and agricultural tools. The joint response will also contribute to the availability of, access to and consumption of food. This will include immediate lifesaving food voucher assistance in Zambezia province for 3 months, with a value of EUR 57 (3820MT) per month and per household. Education: The joint response will address immediate needs of girls and boys under 18 years of age, for safe access to quality learning opportunities (formal education). This will be done through distribution of teacher kits and student kits to school management councils in Zambezia province. The response will also address sector gaps by contributing to safe and accessible learning environments, through the distribution of construction materials for community led classroom rehabilitation. Protection: The joint response will address present protection service gaps in both Zambezia and Sofala province, contributing to prevention and response to violence through daily MHPSS activities, including Child Friendly Spaces, and establishment of community protection committees to support and promote community based approaches for protection. Team-up sessions will also be undertaken. The response will also contribute to gender-based violence prevention and response in Sofala province, through provision of dignity kits and facilitation of referrals. Shelter: The joint response will contribute to individual household shelter through provision of standard shelter cluster approved NFIs/ES kits to affected households, and provision of resilience training to communities affected. Protection mainstreaming activities will also be integrated, including PSEA awareness raising with community leaders and provision of solar lamps and torches.

Key elements include the provision of mental health and psychosocial support, Parents and Adolescents Life Skills (PALS) training, strengthening adolescent- and youth clubs, awareness raising on protection concerns with a special focus on gender-based violence, agricultural support, the provision of fishing kits and canoes, and supporting youth in setting up their own businesses. In doing so, Plan International and SAADO aim to strengthen the protective environment and socio-economic resilience of crisis-affected populations, with a specific focus on adolescent girls and boys. In Malakal and Melut, ongoing displacements due to inter-communal violence, political tensions and floods all contribute to a dire humanitarian crisis. The region relies on subsistence farming, livestock and fishing, all of which impacted by conflict. The Sudan Crisis worsened this by affecting purchasing power and coping mechanisms. Altogether this severely affected the physical and mental well-being of the population, particularly children and adolescents. Ethnic tensions hamper community engagement in productive activities and diminish confidence in long-term investments, leading to ongoing food and livelihood insecurity. Recent conflict heightened protection risks, especially for vulnerable groups like girls, young people and women. Community members express conflict drivers need to be addressed for peaceful coexistence. Key issues include SGBV risks, mental health concerns, family separation, limited access to services, education needs, and scarcity of food and essential items due to increased influx of people and reduction in goods coming from Sudan. A high prevalence of SGBV, exacerbated by patriarchal norms and social inequalities, disproportionately affects vulnerable groups like adolescent girls and young people. Under its Protection component, the South Sudan Joint Response (SSJR) aims to strengthen the protective environment of (adolescent) girls and boys by enabling them to recognise, prevent and respond to child protection, mental health, and gender-based violence risks. While activities such as awareness-raising, training and psychosocial support for adolescents themselves will be important factors in contributing to this objective, strengthening the knowledge and skills of key stakeholders in adolescents' lives to provide the necessary care and protection to young people will furthermore contribute to a more protective environment. Activities that will be implemented under Food Security & Livelihoods and Multipurpose Cash, such as agricultural support and cash distributions, will strengthen the socio-economic resilience of crisis-affected populations. As strengthened socio-economic resilience is expected to decrease tendencies to resort to negative coping mechanisms, such activities are finally also expected to contribute to a strengthened protective environment. This project builds and expands on its interventions conducted in prior Joint Responses. Both Plan International South Sudan and SAADO will continue their work in Malakal and Melut. While SAADO already implemented Protection activities, Plan International will complement activities under this component by introducing Parents and Adolescent Life Skills sessions to predominantly adolescents in the Adolescent Clubs that are receiving ongoing support from SAADO, in combination with the provision of MHPSS services. These MHPSS services are complementary to PSS support provided by other Joint Response consortium partners that operate in Malakal and Melut as well, but focus predominantly on children. This project targets IDPs, returnees and refugees, as well as vulnerable members of host communities. Particular attention will be paid to the specific needs of adolescent girls and boys. Sudanese refugees and South Sudanese returnees will be integrated within the response rather than targeting them separately. In the counties Malakal (town and PoC) and Melut (Paloch) in South Sudan, Plan International together with local partner SAADO will implement Protection, Food Security & Livelihoods and Multipurpose Cash activities as part of the broader Dutch Relief Alliance (DRA) consortium under the Protracted Crisis Joint Response mechanism. Localisation and Accountability efforts are furthermore made in line with DRA ambitions. The project will work closely with different stakeholders present in the community to prevent, prepare for and respond to crises, especially for the most vulnerable and at-risk populations. Core activities under the project's components are outlined below. Protection: - PALS: Parents and Adolescent Life Skills sessions will be provided to adolescent girls, boys and their caregivers by trained facilitators. - MHPSS services: PSS facilitators and para counsellors will be trained and provide MHPSS level 3 and level 4 services in Women and Girls Friendly Spaces. - Adolescent- and Youth Clubs: Adolescent Clubs and Youth Clubs will be strengthened by the facilitation of monthly discussions, quarterly meetings in which technical support will be provided, the provision of visibility materials to enhance awareness raising within their communities and training the club members on prevention and mitigation of GBV risks. - Protection awareness raising: awareness raising will specifically focus on the prevention and mitigation of GBV risks. This will be done by supporting community-based GBV structures, the celebration of events, training of stakeholders in the communities and quarterly dialogue sessions with men and traditional leaders on GBV prevention. - Peacebuilding component: supporting a nexus approach, the project will also entail a peacebuilding component that seeks to foster peaceful coexistence between host communities and refugees/IDPs. Food Security and Livelihoods: - Support youth with start-up business: selected youth will be provided with training on entrepreneurship and financial management. After receiving a small cash grant to start their business, they will be mentored and coached. - Agricultural support: selected households will be provided with seeds, tools and training on climate-smart agriculture to support their agricultural practices. - Provision of fishing kits and canoes, accompanied by training on fish preservation techniques and fishing practices. Multipurpose Cash: - Multipurpose cash: vulnerable households – especially high-risk adolescents and their caregivers - will be provided with MPC to meet basic household requirements and enhance their resilience and dignity. - Cash for Work: vulnerable community members, especially older out-of-school adolescents and youth who reached the legal working age, will be selected and provided with CfW activities. As part of localisation efforts, the national partner receives a substantial amount of the budget for project implementation and capacity strengthening. Furthermore, key local actors such as line ministries, health workers, police, teachers and courts will be trained under this project. To ensure Accountability to Affected Populations, three committees in both Malakal and Melut will be actively involved throughout the project cycle.

Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Millions of young people grow up and become sexually active without access to timely, appropriate and gender-responsive (SRHR) education, information and services, making them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage. Break Free! empowers young people to make their own free and informed choices and to have control over their SRH and lives. In order to address Child, Early and Forced Marriage/Union (CEFMU) as a human rights violation, the programme promotes gender equality and empowerment of girls and young women by tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal gender power relations and discriminatory social norms, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented from2021-2025 by Plan International Nederland, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT and Netherlands’ Embassies in the relevant countries. Descriptions of the baseline values are included in Annex 2 of the Annual Report 2021. The prevention of CEFMU and TP is more urgent than ever, as the COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live resulting in increasing levels of gender based violence, increasing unpaid care work, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of CM and TP. This crisis has further isolated and excluded adolescent girls in remote areas from accessing SRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential SRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C) and CEFMU, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in low-income countries where CEFMU is most prevalent. Because poverty is a key driver of child marriage, these economic impacts are anticipated to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. At the same time, many girls have dropped out from school and are likely never to return, leaving them with few options other than CEFMU and TP. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CM/TP, and in some countries FGM/C. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CM to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting civil society organisations to organise, participate and communicate enables them to claim better education and SRHR outcomes for girls and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy of civil society. Decision-makers at local, national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency. The programme is a.o. based upon the results and findings of the Yes I Do programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan in five of the nine BF! countries combined with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on this theme. All partners have experience on improving legislation and policies on CM (and FGM/C) and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights and quality of SRH education, information and service provision. This resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society (CS) advocacy tool across the SADC region. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. However, CSOs advocating for GYW rights and SRHR particularly face an increasingly hostile environment fuelled by authoritarian governments, traditional/religious systems and fundamentalist forces, depicting adolescent SRHR (ASRHR) and GE as threatening traditional and family values. In the Sahel focus countries, conflict affects freedom of movement and drives authorities to further confine civic space. Violent extremist attacks often target GYW and further reduce their opportunities for collective activism. Deeply rooted gender norms in selected Southern and Eastern African countries, combined with authoritarian governments, limit the space for CSOs to claim SRH rights. By establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision makers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency, political will increases and civil society has the capacity to advocate for improved SRHR, CM and education related policies, laws and resourcing. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion and actively engage adolescent and young boys and men for this. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by Plan International Nederland, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT and Netherlands’ Embassies in the relevant countries. Break Free! contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. She Leads will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: BreakFree! will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: BreakFree! is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

COVID-19 weakened an already fragile country. We are planning to focus, strengthen and extend our intervention in Nana Grebizi, Kaga Bandoro Sub-prefecture, while phasing out in Ouham, Bouca sub-prefecture. We will focus on CPiE, integrated with FSL and MPC interventions in both areas. Cash will be a preferred modality throughout all the 3 sectors and to make this even safer, more efficient and more dignified, we are planning to pilot an e-voucher system developed under the South Sudan Joint response (called the Up2U system). In both locations, we will be working with the local NGO Centre pour la Promotion des Droits des Enfants (CPDE), who has been our partner in Ouham since the beginning of the CAR JR and with whom we will also start working for this JR in Nana Grebizi. CPDE will only intervene in our CPIE programming, where its expertise lays. The Central African population has suffered from a complex humanitarian crisis since the advent of the armed conflict in 2013. Displacement and violence occurring in an already fragile national context have had serious humanitarian consequences for the protection of civilians, their living conditions as well as their physical and mental survival. Civilians, particularly women and children, continue to suffer from the consequences of the conflict and are increasingly exposed to protection risks and acute humanitarian needs. More than 50% of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance, including 1.7 million people in critical situations, such as IDPs and returnees. Children are the direct victims of the conflict because of the risks of family separation, recruitment by armed groups and forces, child trafficking and forced labour, dropping out of school but also sexual violence and forced marriage for girls. The conflict has also caused food insecurity in a country where 75% of its population depend of farming : markets, transportation of goods, access to farming land, agricultural inputs and assets are all impacted. Food insecurity affects 1,6 million persons, which in turn leads households to adopt negative copying strategies such as reducing their food intake or engaging in illegal or risky activities such as prostitution or association with armed groups. It also contributes to households prioritising their daily food needs rather than health or education costs which are just as essential. Children are particularly vulnerable in areas where long-term problems such as weak state child protection systems, low birth registration rates and discriminatory cultural burdens towards girls exacerbates the protection concerns. While Ouham is still an area with high humanitarian needs, other areas with higher needs have become accessible, such as Kaga-Bandoro in Nana-Grebizi. The focus of the CARJR remains to save lives, respect basic rights and preserve human dignity. This is leading by our humanitarian mandate to go there were the needs are. In the CAR the needs are everywhere, due to the history of the CAR, but the needs and gaps have been assessed to see where the CARJR could fulfil its objective best, and have the most impact. The approach for the coming phases is to have a focus on FSL and Protection activities to fulfil this objective. Cash will be a preferred modality throughout all the sectors. The activities are explained in detail in section 7 "Activity Plan". The presence of 1 stable staff of FLM in Bouca sub-prefecture eased collaboration between Plan and FLM. We have planned for monthly coordination meetings at Bouca level, while maintaining the quaterly meetings at prefecture level to exchange on project progress, opportunities for collaboration and good practices. We will also have quarterly meeting in Kaga Bandoro with IRC and FLM, all the more to update on the security situation and start planning for more collaboration in next phase. FLM will continue to support the communities where Plan works with rehabilitation of water points and latrines, and FLM and Plan will carry out joint community visits, FLM providing awareness raising on hygiene and sanitation and building the capacities of the WASH committees, while Plan will focus on Child Protection and GBV. This collaboration with FLM will be extended to Kaga Bandoro as well. It is also expected that Plan and FLM will share the same committee (RECOPE) for management of the CFS and the WASH equipment of the CFS. With SOS, we will maintain the joint activity of gathering of RECOPE from both sub-prefecture, this being an opportunity to present CP issues in the communities and efforts done by the RECOPE to address them to the Director of Social Affairs, as well as to exchange experiences and good practices among community members.. With SOS we will continue working on harmonizing the training curriculum for RECOPEs and start collaborating on psychosocial support, since SOS recruited a psychologist in Ouham. With IRC, we will explore opportunities to harmonize on the community based child protection mechanisms and seek to replicate the gathering of RECOPE in Kaga Bandoro as it has proven to be beneficial in Ouham. With IRC we will also explore if referral of adult GBV survivors identified in Botto would be feasible. Since the JR is new in Nana Grebizi,, we will also use 2020 to learn more from each other and identify more opportunities for integrated multi-sectoral programming in Kaga Bandoro. 1. Girls and boys, including adolescents, affected by conflict, including ENA/ES, CAFAAGs, child SGBV survivors and other vulnerable and at-risk children: 5600 children will be targeted in the project through recreational activities in the CFS and by youth groups, trainings, community awareness, case management, including family tracing, alternative care and reunification with biological family members for UASC, psychosocial support as well as vocational training, 2. Adolescent girls and boys identified as CAFAAGs, survivors of SGBV or identified as at risk of abuse and their families: 95 adolescents in Ouham will participate in vocational training in order to start an income-generating activity and support their household members (570 persons). 3. The most vulnerable families: 1002 vulnerable individuals will benefit from multipurpose cash transfers in the frame of a CFW program in Ouham . Beneficiaries of the unconditional cash are households where no member is able to participate in the CFW's activities. Selection criteria are : child, elderly or women headed households, HH with PLW, PWD, chronic ill persons or elderly persons 4. Local division of the Ministry of Social Affairs and service providers as Gendarmerie, hospital and health centers and schools : Sub-prefecture level of the Ministry in Bouca and prefecture level of the Ministry in Kaga Bandoro will be actively included and supported, health service providers as the Hospital in Bouca and local health centers in Bouca sub-prefecture, the hospital in Kaga as well as the gendarmeries in Bouca and in Kaga-Bandoro will be capacitated to provide child friendly services and respect SoPs. OUHAM, sub-prefecture Bouca: the aim is to phase out in Bouca sub-prefecture to be able to move to locations with higher humanitarian needs (such as Nana-Grebizi), without losing the gains of the multi-year programming in CPIE, FSL and MPC from the past CARJRs, nor putting in danger boys and girls in the targeted area (Axe Bouca-Batangafo). On the contrary, we aim to take this exit as an opportunity to strengthen the capacities from the local actors and embed a sustainable, multi-layered locally-owned child protection mechanism in the area. MPC: • Provide most vulnerable household members with conditional and unconditional multipurpose cash transfers, in the frame of a cash for work program, benefitting community members, especially children, following CWG guidance. The aim is to rehabilitate a primary school in Bouca town as many children can’t access their right to safe and quality education and community members see education as a main priority CPiE: • identify, document and manage cases of at risk and vulnerable children especially, UASC, child GBV survivors and CAAFAGS, providing them with an holistic, continuous and adapted support, using cash whenever possible. Special efforts will be done towards family tracing, and reunification of UASC, including alternative care with foster families.

They don’t receive proper information about how to manage their menstruation and they don’t have access to menstrual products or to safe and clean latrines. Taboos and myths surrounding menstruation also limit what they are allowed to do when menstruating. Many girls drop out of school because they fear embarrassing situations at school. This Menstrual Health & Hygiene project aims to: (1) Improve knowledge and break menstruation taboos among 53,502 adolescent girls, boys, men and women, (2) Improve MHH practices, (3) Increase access to affordable and hygienic sanitary pads, (4) Increase access to girl friendly toilets and water at schools, and (5) Ensure MHH in included in national and regional policies. The project will be implemented in 3 selected sub-counties: Kitayunjwa, Balowoli and Kagumba in Kamuli District –from November 2020 until the end of September 2022. In Uganda menstruation is surrounded by many myths and taboos and often is not talked about at all. As a result many girls are not prepared for their first menstruation and think they are sick or even dying. Girls receive little to now information on how to manage their period in a hygienic manner and menstrual pads are often not available or unaffordable (or not prioritized within the household). This is why girls and women often use old rags, banana leaves or newspapers as pads which can cause serious health problems. In Uganda more than halve of the adolescent girls don’t go to school when they are menstruating because they cannot afford menstrual pads or the latrines at school are absent or not suitable to change their pads. This translates into a loss of 8-24 days of school a year ! In Uganda parents often believe that when a girls gets her first period it’ s better to take her out of school and get her married. Due to the many taboos and myths surrounding menstruation, girls are restricted to participate in everyday activities like going to the mosque or the church. People even believe that when a menstruating girl walks through your garden, the plants will die! When girls are allowed to stay at school they risk the chance of getting laughed at by boys or they get scolded at by teachers when they stain their school uniforms. After being laughed at once, many girls don’t dare to return to school. The absence of good support to teenage girl during their menstruation accounts to a big proportion of school dropout of girls. Nationally the momentum on MHM has increased including: coordination of MHM initiatives under Ministry of Education and Sports, signing of MHM charter , pronouncement by government to supply free pads (presidential pledge),& development of MHM standard materials (MHM Manual). However operationalization of the commitments including the MHM charter, , lack of MHM policy & strategy anchored in act of parliament, lack of standard national guidelines on MHM, inadequate Monitoring & evaluation framework, & limited engagement of cultural and social norm power holders continue to emerge as gaps that need re-dress by both state and non-state actors. Within the project Plan International has develop an approach which focusses on eliminating the barriers girls and women face when having their period through: 1. Increasing the knowledge on what menstruation is and how to manage it hygienically; through training teacher on how they can teach girls and boys about menstruation, and by providing information to the wider community through radio shows and billboard. 2. Improve access to affordable and hygienic menstrual hygiene pads; through teaching girls, boys and local entrepreneurs how to make re-usable sanitary pads. 3. Improving access to toilets at schools that include facilities to manage your menstruation (like emergency pads, a bin, water to clean yourself and a mirror to check for stains). 4. Breaking taboos en myths surrounding menstruation; through community and school plays taboos and myths are discussed, challenged and broken. Now the current MHM project is running to its end, Plan International wants to use the momentum and track record it gained to scale up its MHM interventions in more communities in the districts of Kamuli and Tororo and work with the national government to further develop the national MHM approach to ensure MHM no longer is a limiting factor for women and girls throughout Uganda to reach their full potential. Plan International has successfully been implementing a Menstrual Health & Hygiene (MHH) projects in Uganda since 2012 and has improved the knowledge, attitudes and practices of more than 197,000 women, girls, boys and men on menstruation. As a result more girls are successfully attending school (94.9%) compared to 56% at the beginning of the project. Thanks to the project interventions there is also an increasing buy in by the different stakeholders including the government that agrees that improving access knowledge, attitudes and practices on MHM is needed to ensure girls and women reach their full potential. Plan International wants to use the momentum and track record it gained to scale up its MHM interventions in more communities in the districts of Kamuli and Tororo and work with the national government to further develop the national MHM approach to ensure MHM no longer is a limiting factor for women and girls throughout Uganda to reach their full potential. 53,502 Rural women, men , boys and girls Direct: 11.727 girls and 11268 boys and 369 women and 301 men Indirect: 7847 girls and 5647 boys and 9439 women and 6904 men Target group: Primary target group: 29,382, girls and women Secondary target group: o 150 teachers o 80 local entrepreneurs o 40 health workers o 40 local leaders In a bid continue build on the activities of the previous project and address the gaps identified in Kamuli district, the project will execute soft and hard ware activities including:  Training of 42 School health clubs on MHH  Training of 150 teachers as TOTs on MHH  Training of 130 Village health teams & Health workers on MHH  Training of local entrepreneurs( Tailors, retail shop owners) on making and sale of hygienic pads  Training of 15 drama groups on MHH theatre for development  Community Dialogues (drama sessions on MHH)  Training of 40 cultural and religious leaders as MHH champions of change  Media campaigns ( Radio Talk shows and spots)  National level Engagement & campaigns on MHH  School Hygiene competitions  National level Advocacy and engagements on MHH  Construction of 13 gender friendly latrines  Construction of 15 Inclusive boreholes Financial sustainability The project will develop mechanism geared towards empowering communities mobilise resources for continued functionality of the WASH infrastructure constructed. Plan international Uganda’s staff, together with local government members, will carry out the training, including the collection of the payments for the services to grant the corrective maintenance. This will improve the knowledge and will therefore grant the use of these systems, the payment for the services and the future economic sustainability. Institutional sustainability Plan International Uganda has been working closely with the National and District governments to include MHH in the National school curriculum and include MHH rooms as part of the national school latrine designs. This project will support with the roll out of these policies and the training of the government staff to ensure MHH activities are scaled up and sustained even without the support of Plan International. Within this project Plan will work with and through the government and community systems that are already in place to ensure ownership of the MHH activities and complete transfer of responsibilities from the start. Ecological sustainability The project has a technology that doesn’t impact on the environment in the selected schools. On the other hand, the selected areas have a large amount of water, so the withdrawal isn’t a problem for the environment and the future water supply. In addition excess water will be used for irrigation of fruit trees in school that have a positive contribution to environment. The incorporation of sanitation and hygiene techniques through construction of gender friendly sanitary facilities will counter the impact of the current bad practices (Open defecation) as a result of high latrine pupil stance ratios in the environment. The contaminated water and the lack of community sanitation (such as the defecation in common areas) endanger not only the community health, but also the environmental health (contamination of the groundwater, local crops, etc.). The latrine design adopted allows for appropriate disposal of pads through burning in the incernirator attached on the latrine block. This will deter indiscriminate disposal of used pads that may contribution to environmental degradation . The training for the hand pump mechanic associations will improve the coordination between communities and Handpump mechanics. This will enable the reduction of the number of boreholes that are non-operational, reducing the parts that are scrapped and the wastes (such as greases) that are dumped to the environment Technical sustainability The chosen technology (drilling of deep boreholes), developed by a local company selected after a bidding that is in line with the national policies, is promoted by the Ministry of Water and Environment as the most simple technology for the isolated rural communities and as the most used technology in the selected area. The technical level required for its repair and maintenance is simple, although the lack of capabilities makes it necessary to provide training for the local technicians. Plan Uganda will work with the water, health and education departments in the district, and with the 15 committees, in execution of the WASH in schools interventions. The committees will be trained in technical issues, the roles of the local actors will be defined, the places that will be drilled will be selected, and awareness rising about the water value chain will be undertaken. Social sustainability The 15 water management committees will manage the operation and maintenance of boreholes hand pumps. Their members are democratically selected by their communities, also considering the female and child representation (at least one boy and one girl and 50% feminine representation). This will grant that the diversity of opinion will be considered in all the decisions that the committees will take. Additionally, the children will receive support to ensure their effective participation in the water user associations and to ensure that they support other people in the maintenance of the water inputs. The school Health Clubs established in schools will promote the participation of the youngest people and enhancing their social inclusion in the local policies. Additionally, the communities will be able to appropriate the materials because of the negotiation of a tariff model that is proper and accessible for the communities (between € 0.74 per year). On the other hand, the training in preventive maintenance for the community volunteers will enhance the ownership, as far as the communities are in charge of the management of their own water resources. These elements will also enhance the target population ownership, so that the democratic participation and the spaces for the discussion, participation and the spaces for the discussion, participation and transparency will ensure a high social sustainability. Lessons learned from the previous MHH project will be taken onboard in this project. Involvement of boys and men as MHH champions to de-mystify myths and stereotypes on MHH that dehumanize girls and women, working with the social enterprise through an appropriate model that meets the needs of beneficiaries at the bottom of the pyramid & training of appropriate local resource persons in schools to continue conveying the MHH message among girls. The project therefore will consider identifying & training boys and men as change agents, engage and empower local entrepreneurs (men groups, tailors, retail shop owners) in pads making, business skills and marketing. These will be linked to financial institution to enable tapping into WASH credit facilities to scale up MHH products business. Mindful of lack of control on transfer of trained teachers (MHH TOTS) 4-5 teachers per school will be trained Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands Plan International Uganda Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Basic life skills for youth and adults Water sector policy and administrative management Basic drinking water supply and basic sanitation Water, Sanitation & Hygiene DECIDE - Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Gender Equality 438918 61081 50000 Plan International Netherlands 188918 Plan International Netherlands 200000 Plan International Netherlands 438918 Plan International Uganda 5000 Plan International Uganda 35000 Plan International Uganda 75000 Plan International Uganda -75000 Plan International Uganda 105000 Plan International Uganda 40000 Plan International Uganda 75000 Plan International Uganda 75000 Plan International Uganda 25000 Plan International Uganda 20000 Plan International Uganda -75000 Plan International Uganda -20000 Plan International Uganda 1027 Plan International Uganda 20000 Plan International Uganda 6319 1065 1122 648 1872 4158 852 355 3408 568 639 5270 60113 1514 2520 576 1872 568 923 568 Quotient of the number of females by the number of males UNESCO indicator Measuring the ratio of boys to latrines UNESCO indicator Measuring the ratio of children to handwashing facilities Quotient of the number of females by the number of males Measuring the ratio of girls to latrines Quotient of the number of females by the number of males Measuring the number of schools meeting the national standard for pupil latrine ratio Specify skills trainings (..)

NL-KVK-41198890-LOP Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: South Sudan has been engaged in a peace process for years. It remains important to emphasize the role of women and youth in peacebuilding. The consortium consisting of Plan International, AMA, EVE, HealthNet, and PAX implements the Leaders of Peace Programme in Eastern, Western and Central Equatoria, Unity, and Lakes. Juba will be the central location to link advocacy work to national platforms and decision-makers. The alliance is coordinated by Plan International (consortium lead) from January 2021 to December 2025 and aims to achieve and sustain a more empowering and inclusive environment in South Sudan for women and girls. To achieve this, we enable and support civil society organisations (CSOs) with the capacity, resources and legitimacy to influence government and societal actors. At the same time, the programme mobilizes key decision-makers to work towards inclusive laws, policies, norms and practices to achieve gender equality and female participation in decision-making. 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. Therefore, it is time to re-emphasize the important role of (young) women in peacebuilding in South Sudan. The voices of young people, girls and boys, need to be heard in these dialogues and reconciliation processes – especially those at the heart of conflict. It remains crucial that the positive contribution of women and youth to sustainable peace and state building is recognized, supported and celebrated. In this prospect, a multi-sectoral and multi-level approach is required, which will lead to improved implementation of policies and regulations on GBV and protection of W/G including psychosocial support and self-care (Result area 1 of our Theory of Change), changed attitudes and beliefs of civil society to facilitate inclusion of W/G and promote gender equality (Result area 2); and increased and effective participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding (Result area 3). Result Area 1: Improved implementation of policies and regulations on GBV and protection of W/G including psychoso- cial support and self-care. When W/G know their rights, have access to and use MHPSS and legal protection services, while in parallel formal/ traditional authorities will implement laws and policies against GBV as well as protect survivors after being informed on these topics, W/G will be less vulnerable to physical and emotional harm . Result Area 2: Changed attitudes and beliefs of civil society to facilitate inclusion of W/G and promote gender equality. Changing harmful norms and attitudes includes transforming violent masculinities by targeting influential powerholders (men/boys) as allies and positive role models, to jointly advocate with women and youth groups for GE, as well as for equal participation of W/Y groups. Result Area 3: Increased and effective participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding. Increased, influential participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding is possible when W/Y facilitate political positioning and influencing across ethnic/religious/conflict lines, together with male counterparts (as well linked to RA2). The overall strategic objective of the Leaders of Peace programme is, that by the end of 2025, women and girls live in a more empowering and inclusive environment in South Sudan, where they feel safer and better enabled to realise their rights, so they can play an influential role towards conflict prevention and sustainable peace. To achieve this, the alliance will enable civil society organisations with the capacity, resources and legitimacy to influence government, and societal actors in various areas. CSOs are supported and complemented in their advocacy activities by their counterparts and/or the Ministry. At the same time, the programme mobilizes key decision makers to work towards inclusive laws, policies and norms and practices. Through lobby and advocacy of our CSO stakeholders LoP will change duty bearers’ attitude towards gender equality and female participation in decision making and the peace process. The Leaders of Peace Programme builds up on successes of the Women and Girls for Change Programme (WGFC 2016-2020), building on activities related to psychosocial support, peacebuilding and prevention of GBV activities implemented by other actors with a focus on Lobby and Advocacy. Beneficiaries are community members in the different locations. More specifically, women and youth as well as influential persons in the community will be targeted. Moreover, the programme will strengthen capacities and learning between consortium members and their local partners. Capacity building on PSS and legal protection services of community groups; training case workers in age, gender-appropritae PSS, GBV, legal protection information; Lobby and Advocacy on the importance of legal protection for women and girls (including GBV survivors); provide capacity building to traditional authorities to develop/adjust/implement regulations related to protection of W/G; capacity building on gender equality, protection and W/Gs meaningful participation; awareness raising on gender equality, human rights and UNSCR1325, training on agents of change to key persons/youth in communities; provision of subgranting to female activities/CBOs,CSOs; awareness raising about and provision of responses to COVID-19, lobby and advocacy, monitoring, learning, evaluation and documentation, capacity building of alliance partners, Collaboration and coordination with partners around joint events, capacitation of gatekeepers and policy makers (incl. female politicians, international gatekeepers CBOs, CSOs and business leaders) to lobby and advocate on the WPS agenda, developing joint advocacy strategy. Working with local actors like the police and the traditional courts, engaging men and building the capacity of the community of gender equality and UNSCR 1325, including youth, are the core strategies. It will be important to maintain the same key actors during the lenght of the project. Ownership by the local community will be important as well; for that the local context and prevelent social norms have to be taken into consideration.

Its goal is for children under five years, born into vulnerable and marginalised households, receive the care, nurture and support services they need for healthy growth development to reach their full potential, free from harmful gendered norms and attitudes that are discriminatory and limiting. In order to achieve the this, the programme adopts two pathways that ensure parents and caregivers practice gender transformative and age appropriate non-violent parenting behaviours, and that Early Children Development becomes an integrated and comprehensive national priority in Jordan. It will be implemented across 15 Mother and Child Centres targeting 2,225 parents and 100 frontline staff implemented by Plan International and local partners. It is supported by a behavioural science research to capture best practices. Early childhood development creates a lasting impact on a child’s future outcomes as it lays the foundation for future wellbeing and resilience. Children living in poverty, social exclusion or affected by conflict often lack access to a safe, nurturing and supportive environment in which to grow. Evidence shows that parents living under such hardship have a particularly difficult time spending the mental energy required to provide ECD for their children. With the onset of the Syrian crisis in 2011, Jordan’s national social welfare systems and resources became severely strained and unable to meet the demand of new arrivals. Children account for 66% of the population and are impacted by poverty more than other age group. UNICEF observed that evidence required to monitor the development of children in Jordan needs improvement with inadequate data to inform policy and implementation of social services for children. Therefore we will support the National ECD Team to focus on this gap. Parenting programmes will be installed within health centres to reach more parents on the importance of ECD and positive parenting. Our primary investment objective is to effectively support parents and caregivers to be more responsive and empowered to nurture children in an safe, enabling environment where ECD services are integrated across service providers and sectors to become a national priority. To create access to quality ECD services and for ECD to be prioritised, demand needs to be generated bottom up from parents/ caregivers as well as supported top down. By advancing postive parenting across multiple government bodies this project ensures that children are more effectively nurtured and parents are enabled to better support children’s developmental milestones and protect child’s rights. We will roll out the parenting model by year three in 15 health centres across Jordan. These centres have been selected in collaboration with government and partner organisations based on a mapping of all 600 health centres, and a criteria for population diversity, and number of persons in the health centre catchment. We will conduct behavioural science research to investiagte the most effective and impactful approaches to integrate into our parenting currculum and mode of delivery and outreach. 13% of children aged 36-59 months are attending ECD programs, compared to 22% in 2012 in Jordan. There are significant shortcomings in access, participation and quality of current ECD provision according to a recent HRD report. To address these gaps and build on lessons learned, Plan International is implementing a follow-on project that builds on the first 2-year project by scaling-up parenting services to 15 health centres, continued engagement in national policy change through the ECD Team. This project empowers parents through community-based approaches to learning to create a more nurturing home environment to better respond to children’s needs without gender discrimination or violence. It will use a revised parenting curriculum with lessons learned from past programming pulling on ECD theory, psychosocial support for parents and violence prevention, as well as gender transformative learning. While in parallel enacting structures within the national architecture to sustain policy level changes to integrate ECD as a comprehensive approach to the care for young children. Through strategic alliances with the Jordanian Ministry of Health and Education, national CBOs and NGOs as well as UNICEF Jordan. Caregivers of young children from vulnerable backgrounds e.g. refugees, asylum seekers, families living in poverty or affected by other discrimination prohibiting integration into the community. ECD services for children under 6 years old will be provided. Finally adult professionals at the Ministry of Health, Education and MOH centres. In year one the project will focus on capacity building for the local partners, especially the ROYAL HEALTH AWARENESS SOCIETY (RHAS) who will take over responsibility for implementing the parenting package inside the MOH health centres nation wide. As such the first 6 months is an inception phase focussed on planning, training, mapping and preparing the teams to deliver quality programming to the most in need communities. Further, we will be adapting our parenting curriculum to reflect the most up-to-date guidance from global leaders in ECD and to reflect best practices from the first project. This will be done in consultation with partners, stakeholders and UNICEF. During this time, our behavioural science research partner will conduct background research and scoping of the problems related to poor positive parenting update among marginalised groups in Jordan. Additionally, the National ECD Team will resume activities and begin to make strides in order to prioritise ECD at the national level across all sectors. Due to the focus on COVID-19 response and resources demanded led by the MOH our main stakeholder, there has been a negative shift in focus from the previous project cycle away from ECD to prioritise the public health emergency. Therefore it is essential to maintain visibility among ministerial partners of the long term importance to focus on ECD for young children. From January, we will begin service delivery either via an online platform, or in person workshops with parents and caregivers depending on the current covid-19 movement restrictions and ensuring the safety of the community is at the forefront. Our curriculum will be digitalise to ensure easy adaptation based on the operational context ensure the safety of the most vulnerable is always prioritised. This will be closely followed by behavioural science specialists to support, track and monitor the uptake and impact n order to learn and adapt the approach as needed. Plan focuses on building human and social capital as it is integral to strategic community investment; it leverages and multiplies the impact of the intervention by strengthening local partner organizations, increasing the likelihood of project success and sustainability. Plan has focused part of its intervention in government-run health centres instead of stand alone sites to increase the likelihood that the MOH can integrate this approach into their core functionality in the long term. Working hand in hand with MOH staff and through local partners already well integrated into the national systems, Plan International will provide capacity building and training opportunities for health and education staff ECD, psychosocial support, refugee and migrant rights, child protection identification and referral. This seeks to strengthen the uptake of ECD for vulnerable populations from the grassroots tot he ministerial level and thereby creating space and prioritisation at national level.

This is done by supporting local communities and governments through information, awareness raising and improved access to WASH services. The overall goal is the promotion of health-related hygiene practices to prevent further spread of COVID-19 in at-risk countries. The WASH First programme is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS)/Inclusive Green Growth (IGG) department. Plan International Netherlands is implementing the programme in 4 countries: Indonesia, Uganda, Kenya and Mozambique. The programme started in September 2020 and will run until the end of November 2022. As from March 2020 COVID-19 quickly spread and was declared a pandemic. To date, official reports indicate a total of almost 15 million cases worldwide and over 600,000 deaths with many countries underreporting. Until there is a vaccine or treatment for COVID-19, there is no better cure than prevention. This pandemic clearly emphasized how deficient hygiene practices and the existing lack of prioritization of resilient, accessible and affordable water and sanitation systems affects everyone and puts global public health at risk. The crisis is further revealing inequities in WASH, between those with and without access to services, and between those with better and worse levels of service. Those without or with low quality services are less able to implement basic mitigation measures such as frequent handwashing with soap, social distancing and cleanliness. Those suffering most from the containment and other mitigation measures - the at-risk-population, and most likely to be left behind - are usually women, girls and other marginalized groups, such as the elderly, persons living with a disability (PLWD), those living in informal settlements, refugee camps, detention centres, and those in extreme poverty. The WASH First programme focuses on specific objectives targeting high at-risk and most marginalized populations for which a full results framework has been elaborated. Main results in order to reduce the spread of the virus: • Result 1: Enhanced understanding of individuals, communities, health workers, schools and WASH service providers about mitigation measures against COVID-19 transmission • Result 2: Population at risk of COVID-19 have sufficient and constant access to commodities and consumables (handwashing facilities, disinfection equipment, soap, hygiene kits including menstrual health products and personal protective equipment (PPE)) • Result 3: Population at risk of COVID-19 have safe (considering safeguarding and security) access to water and sanitation services through the construction of new and repair of non-functional water and sanitation facilities or through temporary/mobile supplies/services The WASH First programme envisages the following categories of interventions: 1. Awareness raising: awareness campaigns and mass media campaigns that make use of inclusive and targeted messaging and communication channels in order to reach those most at risk 2. Direct information sharing and messaging: through home visits, courtyard meetings, community meetings where possible and in line with do-no-harm principles 3. Improving access to safe drinking water and water supply for handwashing, as well as menstrual health and sanitation (including safe disposal of waste), following inclusive designs of facilities and services 4. Improving access to safe handwashing facilities, especially for the most at-risk populations 5. Access to hygiene products including soap, disinfectant, PPE and menstrual hygiene products for the most at-risk target groups 6. COVID-related coordination meetings with local government and other stakeholders to highlight and strengthen the focus on the most marginalised and how to reach them to combat the spread of the virus the WASH SDG Consortium partners are scaling up their efforts to access water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in the most vulnerable countries, through the WASH First programme. The WASH First programme aims to enhance understanding of individuals, communities, health workers, schools and WASH service providers about mitigation measures against COVID-19 transmission and provides safe access to water and sanitation services to population at risk. The programme specifically targets the poorest of the poor, women, girls and people with a disability. The WASH First programme envisages the following categories of interventions in 4 countries: 1. Awareness raising: awareness campaigns and mass media campaigns that make use of inclusive and targeted messaging and communication channels in order to reach those most at risk 2. Direct information sharing and messaging: through home visits, courtyard meetings, community meetings where possible and in line with do-no-harm principles 3.

Improving access to safe handwashing facilities, especially for the most at-risk populations 5. Access to hygiene products including soap, disinfectant, PPE and menstrual hygiene products for the most at-risk target groups 6. COVID-related coordination meetings with local government and other stakeholders to highlight and strengthen the focus on the most marginalized and how to reach them The following principles are, when applicable, incorporated in the WASH First approach: Social sustainability : ensuring that social conditions are realized and sustained so the current and future society is able to create healthy communities. Social sustainable intervention is demand-driven, inclusive (equality), gender equal, culturally sensitive and needs-based. Institutional sustainability : WASH systems, institutions, policies and procedures at the local level are functional and meet the demand of users of WASH services. Environmental sustainability: placing WASH interventions in the wider context of the natural environment and implementing an approach of integrated and sustainable management of water and waste(-water) flows and resources, including the adaptation to climate change. Technical sustainability of WASH services : technology or hardware needed for continuous services is maintained, repaired and replaced by local people and it is not depleting the (natural) resources on which it depends for its functioning. Financial sustainability : continuity in the delivery of products and services related to WASH is assured, because the activities are locally financed (e.g. taxes, local fees, local credit products).

Plan International Kenya started the implementation of the program in the urban informal settlements of Kibera and Kawangware of Nairobi and in Kilifi North (town), Rabai and Kaloleni. These areas have been hit hard by the pandemic. The program will organize awareness raising campaigns on COVID-19. It further will promote direct messaging and information sharing. And finally, it will improve access to water, sanitation, handwashing facilities and (menstrual) hygiene products. The first cases of Covid-19 were detected early 2020 and government took the measures like promoting social distancing, handwashing and wearing face masks. Quarantine centers were setup for people diagnosed with the disease and large gatherings were forbidden. A lockdown and curfew were in effect during the first months. The project intervention areas were selected in coordination with Ministry of Health (MoH) and had already limited access to WASH facilities. Many of the residents of the informal urban settlements Kibera and Kawangware of Nairiobi had already pre-existing medical conditions like tuberculosis and HIV. More underaged girls were forced to marriage and more teenage girls got pregnant. Lockdown and curfew also increased the risk of violence for women and girls when visiting public toilets at night. In the rural areas people have almost no access to water and sanitation. Because schools were closed children had less access to WASH facilities. Lockdown also caused more cases of Gender Based Violence. People with disabilities face challenges in accessing WASH services and prevention messaging. The fear of stigmatisation of being diagnosed with Covid-19 complicated the track and trace efforts of the MoH. The main objective of the program is: Promotion of health-related hygiene practices to prevent further spread of COVID-19 in at-risk countries through awareness raising and improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene services Result areas: 1. Enhanced understanding of individuals, communities, health workers, schools and WASH service providers about mitigation measures against COVID-19 transmission 2. Population at risk of Covid-19 have sufficient and constant access to commodities and consumables (i.e. handwashing facilities, disinfection equipment, soap, hygiene kits including menstrual health products) and personal protective equipment (PPEs) 3. Population at risk of COVID-19 have safe (considering safeguarding and security) access to Water and Sanitation services through the construction of new and repair of non-functional water facilities or through temporary/mobile services/supplies. Support adolescent girls living in urban informal settlements in having access to bathrooms by paying the public toilet use fee At the start of the health crisis, the government was acting quickly and CSO's had no role in the decision taking process. However, space for civil society to engage with government remained as government was actively seeking involvement. This program has been developed in coordination with the Ministry of Health. Local actors like community workers, WASH committees, sanitation workers, schools, WASH service providers and government officials will be trained on how to reduce transmission of COVID-19 virus. Plan Kenya has a presence in the intervention areas and has a working relationship with government and other stakeholders. Plan implements directly and through its local partner the Real Hope Youth and Community Organization (RHYCO), and has experience with the implementation of WASH programs. The program is fully aligned with the Emergency Response Program that had been prepared in the context of the pandemic. The end beneficiaries of the programme activities will be the vulnerable and at risk groups living in the low income informal urban settlements Kibera and Kawangware of Nairobi and in Kilifi Noth and the rural areas of Rabai and Kaloleni. Plan International Kenya will implement the following activities on the 6 intervention strategies: Intervention strategy 1: Awareness raising (campaigns and mass media campaigns) on COVID-19 • Raise awareness in communities on COVID-19 prevention, using different methodologies such as the use of murals that have been strategically painted on walls and billboards • Use media and participate in the talk shows Intervention strategy 2: Direct information sharing and messaging • Support the sensitisation of CHV/Ws in charge of COVID-19 prevention messaging and control management. • Strengthen the capacity of girl’s advocates for peer support on COVID-19 prevention and information sharing and advocacy on issues concerning children and girls. • Raise awareness in schools using the COVID-19 prevention guidelines for schools that are currently being developed. • Promote social distancing measures around WASH facilities and prioritise access for elderly/disabled/ pregnant people. • Work with CHW/Vs so they can distribute contextualised prevention messages. Intervention strategy 3: Improving access to safe drinking water and water supply for handwashing, as well as menstrual health and sanitation (including safe disposal of waste) • Support communities to access water for handwashing and consumption. Handwashing units will be placed in strategic places. • Truck water to strategic water storage facilities for ease of access. • Support adolescent girls living in urban informal settlements in having access to bathrooms by paying the public toilet use fee. • Ensure vulnerable people have access to WASH facilities. • Install handwash units in schools and make MHM products available for girls. Intervention strategy 4: Improving access to safe handwashing facilities • Place handwashing units in strategic places with liquid soap that are also accessible for the disabled and elderly. • Provide handwashing units and liquid soap in schools when they reopen in January 2021. Intervention strategy 5: Access to hygiene products including soap, disinfectant, PPE and menstrual hygiene products • Provide appropriate hygiene kits and sanitary towels for girls and support them in accessing bathrooms for personal hygiene in urban informal settlements. • Ensure vulnerable people have access to hygiene products. • Collaborate with the MoH to procure infection prevention materials such as disinfectants, and detergents in order to ensure there is adequate disinfection at critical areas including schools, public transport facilities and health facilities. MoH guidelines on IPC will be followed. • Disinfect schools before the planned re-opening, as some have been used as isolation centres. • Where necessary, procure and supply sanitisers to health care workers and teachers. • Procure and distribute masks, both surgical and reusable, for health care workers and CHVs. Masks will also be given to vulnerable people within the selected communities. Intervention strategy 6: COVID-related coordination meetings with local government and other stakeholders • Collaborate with the MoH and other partners to update information on the pandemic as appropriate. • Support national measures and initiatives to share more information on COVID-19 transmission prevention and control. • Support the development of appropriate gender sensitive and inclusive messages for communities, taking into consideration their literacy level and ability to understand. Institutional: By involving local government and local stakeholders, the ownership of the program will be anchored in the local institutional structure. Social: The active participation of the target groups is essential to ensure that we respond to their specific needs. The overall goal of this program is the “promotion of health-related hygiene practices to prevent further spread of COVID-19 through awareness raising and improved access to WASH services.” The intervention will ensure that the achievement of the SDG 6 goals does not come to a standstill in the intervention areas.

Its main objective is to prevent further spread of COVID-19. Plan International Mozambique started the implementation of the programme in Mogovolas district, Nampula province. This area has been hit hard by the pandemic. The programme will organise awareness raising campaigns on COVID-19. It will also promote direct messaging and information sharing. Through the programme we will improve access to water, sanitation, handwashing facilities and (menstrual) hygiene products. On March 22 2020 the Ministry of Health declared there was an outbreak of COVID-19 in the country. The virus was spreading quickly and Nampula province was severely affected. Located in the North, it is the most populated province and among the poorest with the lowest district-level WASH facilities. Cholera outbreaks and diarrhea are often reported. Hygiene practices are poor and only 10% of the population has access to handwashing facilities. Schools were closed, affecting almost eight million students across the country. Since July schools started reopening but the lack of sufficient WASH facilities was an obstacle to a safe opening of the schools. The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities and poverty, affecting especially the most vulnerable and marginalised people. While it is acknowledged that good hygiene can slow the spread of the virus, the communities in the intervention area have poor access to WASH. This puts families at higher risk of infection and increases vulnerability of girls and women when they go to collect water. Women and girl do not have access to public health messages because they are not linked to information networks and their levels of literacy are low. The main objective of the program is: Promotion of health-related hygiene practices to prevent further spread of COVID-19 in at-risk countries through awareness raising and improved access to WASH services Result areas: 1. Enhanced understanding of individuals, communities, health workers, schools and WASH service providers about mitigation measures against COVID-19 transmission 2. Population at risk of Covid-19 have sufficient and constant access to commodities and consumables (i.e. handwashing facilities, disinfection equipment, soap, hygiene kits including menstrual health products) and personal protective equipment (PPEs) 3. Population at risk of COVID-19 have safe (considering safeguarding and security) access to Water and Sanitation services through the construction of new and repair of non-functional water facilities or through temporary/mobile services/supplies. Plan Mozambique, through the Nampula Programme Unit, has a proven track record of supporting programmes across 24 communities in Mogovolas district. Plan has a strong experience in implementing WASH-related interventions. A WASH consultant provides technical support on the implementation of Plan WASH projects. In addition, Plan will leverage on previous project experiences being implemented in Nampula in areas of hygiene, MHM and SRHR. The Nampula Programme Unit is carrying out COVID-19 prevention and hygiene awareness and community sensitisation on SRHR, as per its country COVID-19 response plan. The end beneficiaries will be the most poor and vulnerable people living in Mogovolas district, Nampula province that boarders Cabo Delgado province where violent incidents have been recorded causing a refugee flow into Nampula province. Plan International Mozambique will implement the following activities on the 6 intervention strategies: Intervention strategy 1: Awareness raising (campaigns and mass media campaigns) on COVID-19 • Based on the rapid assessment, a hygiene behaviour communication plan will be developed. Careful attention will be given when developing the messages to ensure they will trigger the emotions of people and not just raise awareness. The messages developed will focus on positive emotions, highlighting the health benefits if handwashing is done correctly and frequently and the benefits of protecting others and not spreading the coronavirus. • Develop communication materials, including radio and TV spots. Mixed methods for mass messaging will be used, including community radio, visual materials and TV spots, ensuring the communication campaigns will expose vulnerable people at least three times to the messages, to increase their capability and motivation to acquire good habits. The communications materials will contain illustrative graphics focused on the geographical context (Nampula province settings – houses, clothes, daily activities) but discouraging stereotypes ( such as gender stereotypes). • Training sessions will be delivered to key hygiene promoters (government staff, community health workers, community radio producers, teachers, community leaders) on the communication plan and campaign approaches. The training will be conducted outdoors, respecting the government regulations and Ministry of Health advices on social distancing and the number of participants. • The campaign will use stories, songs and demonstrations. It will be phased, focusing first on mass communications to comply with the movement restrictions and social distancing. Intervention strategy 2: Direct information sharing and messaging through home visits, courtyard meetings and community meetings, where possible and in line with do no harm principles • Rolling out gender sensitive and inclusive communication campaign through outdoors sessions (when schools re-open) and community sensitisation • Priority will be given to aligning the messages with the Ministry of Health to avoid confused communications and disinformation. Adapt hygiene messages to promote positive gender relations and avoid exacerbating negative gender stereotypes. • Do no harm promotion and support of existing child protection referral mechanism. We will promote and protect the rights of children, especially girls, strengthening the existing referral mechanisms (existing toll free hotlines), making use of community radio to raise awareness and promote no harm practices wherever possible, using same platforms for HBC campaigns Intervention strategy 3: Improving access to safe drinking water and water supply for handwashing, as well as menstrual health and sanitation (including safe disposal of waste) • Geophysical studies will be carried out to assess suitable locations for drilling water boreholes. • Provision of water access in three communities. • For each borehole, a water committee will be formed and community members (half women and half men) trained to maintain the water point and collect fees. This activity will be conducted in collaboration with public works technicians. A training package on gender based violence and child protection will be also provided. • Ensure that access is organised in a gender friendly and social inclusive way while taking in consideration social distancing. Intervention strategy 4: Improving access to safe handwashing facilities • Plan will promote no-cost or low cost handwashing stations such as tippy taps that families can set up easily in their home. Tippy taps will allow family members to wash their hands with soap and poured water for the right amount of time and using the correct technique. Intervention strategy 5: Access to hygiene products such as soap, disinfectant, PPE and menstrual hygiene products • Purchasing and distribution of hygiene kits and dignity/MHM kits reaching the most vulnerable. Immediate intervention is needed for distribution of soap and hygiene kits for the poorest families. These will be identified in coordination with the authorities, community leaders and local partners. Poor adolescents girls and young women will receive dignity kits, including menstrual hygiene management products, to boost their confidence and ensure dignity. Intervention strategy 6: COVID-related coordination meetings with local government and other stakeholders • The sub-programme interventions will be implemented in close coordination with the government and formal and informal community leaders. • The sub-programme will also coordinate with government for consistency in messaging on COVID-19 prevention. Institutional: The program interventions will be implemented in close coordination with the government and formal and informal community leaders. The program will also coordinate with government for consistency in messaging on COVID-1 prevention Social: The active participation of the target groups is essential to ensure that we respond to their specific needs. The overall goal of this program is the “promotion of health-related hygiene practices to prevent further spread of COVID-19 through awareness raising and improved access to WASH services.” The intervention will ensure that the achievement of the SDG 6 goals does not come to a standstill in the intervention areas. The program is inclusive and will adapt hygiene messages to promote positive gender relations and avoid exacerbating negative gender stereotypes. It will further promote do no harm promotion principles and support existing child protection referral mechanism. The rights of children will be promoted and protected, especially girls' rights, strengthening the existing referral mechanisms (existing toll free hotlines), making use of community radio to raise awareness and promote no harm practices wherever possible, using same platforms for HBC campaigns.

NL-KVK-41198890-YPI100051 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The WASH First programme in Indonesia started in September 2020 and will run until November 2021. It is part of the scaling-up efforts of the WASH SDG Consortium. Its main objective is to prevent further spread of COVID-19. Plan International Indonesia started the implementation in West Lombok District (NTB province) and Kupang City (NTT Province), both neighbouring locations to the ones of the WASH SDG programme. These areas have been hit hard by the pandemic. Plan International Indonesia will 1) Raise awareness of the people living in the target areas on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, (2) Provide the people living in the target areas with access to hygiene kits (including menstrual hygiene products), disinfected equipment, soap and personal protective equipment to enable them to practice good hygiene practices, (3) improve access to water facilities by rehabilitating water points. Since the announcement of the first COVID-19 patient in Indonesia on March 2, 2020, the number of people affected by the virus has continued to increase. However the government has not declared a national lockdown. Jakarta is the only region that is implementing large-scale social restrictions consisting of a period of restriction to the return of socio-economic activities that benefit the wider community. In the NTB Province, one of the program locations, up to 30 October 2020 there are 3,950 positive patients with COVID-19 and 219 deaths. In the province of NTT the number of positive cases in NTT is 679, 7 of which have died. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed underlying inequalities and has exacerbated the situation of the most marginalized groups, including women and girls. Everyday barriers consist of physical accessibility, barriers to implementing basic hygiene measures, affordability of healthcare, limitations on health insurance and discriminatory laws and stigma. The marginalized groups are often excluded from communications on public health, decision making and information on accessibility of basic services, resulting into a limited understanding of risks and the ability to carry out preventive measures . The overall goal is the promotion of health-related hygiene practices to prevent further spread of COVID-19 in at-risk countries through awareness raising and improved access to WASH services. It aligns fully with the WASH SDG programme that is working towards enhancing sustainable and equitable access to and use of WASH for all. This programme will focus on specific objectives focusing on high at-risk and most marginalised populations (for which a full results framework has been developed). :• Result 1: Enhanced understanding of individuals, communities, health workers, schools and WASH service providers about mitigation measures against COVID-19 transmission • Result 2: Population at risk of COVID-19 have sufficient and constant access to commodities and consumables (handwashing facilities, disinfection equipment, soap, hygiene kits including menstrual health products and personal protective equipment (PPE)) • Result 3: Population at risk of COVID-19 have safe (considering safeguarding and security) access to water and sanitation services through the construction of new and repair of non-functional water and sanitation facilities or through temporary/mobile supplies/services Plan International Indonesia has been working in Indonesia since 1969 and in NTT and NTB province long-term child sponsorship programme and a number of grants including the WASH SDG programme are being implemented. These programmes are built on a successful Community led Total Sanitation approach that promotes gender equality and social inclusion. The WASH First programme will build on the capacity and experience of the already existing WASH programmes, which have proven to be successful due to strong partnerships and collaboration with a wide array of government and non-government stakeholders such as POKJA AMPL (Drinking Water and Environmental Health Working Group), the STBM Secretariat, the National AMPL Network, SPEAK, Persani (DPO) YPCII and HAKLI. The programme will be closely aligned with, and scale-up, interventions started under the existing WASH SDG programme, with a modified operational strategy to ensure safety and compliance with the government protocols applicable in the zonal system (red, yellow, green). Existing partnerships with the provincial government of NTB and NTT, district government of West Lombok and city government of Kupang will be strengthened in order to facilitate a rapid start of implementation. The programme intends to reach 350,000 people, including poor families, child-headed households (or girl-married households), female-headed households, families with nursing mothers and families with people living with disability or elderly members. Families who have a member(s) under COVID-19 surveillance, who have been confirmed infected will also be included in the target beneficiaries.222 The activities per intervention strategies are the following: 1: Awareness raising (campaigns and mass media campaigns) on COVID-19 Gender sensitive and socially inclusive awareness-raising will be used to expand public outreach campaigns and support for community-based COVID-19 transmission prevention through STBM-MHM: • Develop of inclusive IEC/BCC materials on STBM-MHM and COVID-19 (including short film production) • Produce a STBM-MHM public campaign (involving local leaders, religious leaders, government officials, influencers, public figures) through different channels (radio, social media, local/national TV) 2: Direct information sharing and messaging • Strengthen the community volunteers’ capacity (posyandu volunteers, ECCD teachers, CBCPM committee/parenting class facilitators) on gender sensitive and socially inclusive STBM-MHM and COVID-19 training • Support the implementation of STBM-MHM and COVID-19 IPC in the local community centres (ECCD and parenting class centres) • Strengthen the capacity of local leaders, community volunteers and local health workers on COVID-19 protocols and inclusive STBM-MHM • Provide behavioural change training for teachers, peer educators and student-parent committees to implement inclusive STBM-MHM and safe back-to-school procedures • Implement campaigns on child-friendly, inclusive and COVID-19 preventive STBM-MHM in schools • Conduct webinar to share best practice of inclusive and STBM-MHM in schools during the pandemic 3: Improving access to safe drinking water and water supply for handwashing, as well as menstrual health and sanitation (including safe disposal of waste) • Rehabilitate of WASH facilities in puskesmas (using a human-centred design approach to ensure universal and inclusive access that includes DPOs) • Strengthen gender and socially inclusive WASH in health care facilities (HCFs) to allow continued safe operation and safeguard health workers and service users • Promote gender and socially inclusive WASH in schools and inclusive MHM to support school transition and anticipate safe re-opening • Provide hardware that is accessible in health care facilities, posyandu, schools and early childhood education centres • Strengthen the capacity of community health centre (puskesmas) workers on safely managed sanitation and HCF-based infectious COVID-19 solid waste management • Socialisation and online-offline training on repurposing BOS (School Operational Fund) for STBMMHM in schools with a prior advocacy and engagement with the local district/city office for education (dikbud) 4 and 5: Improving access to safe handwashing facilities: Access to hygiene products such as soap, disinfectant, PPE and menstrual hygiene products Access to safe handwashing facilities and hygiene products and sufficient and constant access to commodities and consumables such as handwashing facilities, disinfection equipment, soap, hygiene kits including menstrual health products and PPE will be achieved through: • Distribution of PPE and hygiene kits for health care facilities • Development of IEC/BCC materials on inclusive COVID-19 IPC for HCF • Access to hygiene and MHM kits for marginalised groups • Distribution of PPE and hygiene supplies and MHM kit for schools and madrasahs (soap, reusable menstrual pads, disinfectant, face shields, transparent cubicles, non-medical masks) Intervention strategy 6: COVID-related coordination meetings with local government and other stakeholders In the STBM approach, government capacity building is very important to ensure sustainability. The enabling environment component is also written in the Theory of Change of the WASH SDG subprogramme. As this proposed new programme aims as far as possible to replicate best practices from the this programme, the following institutional capacity building strategies will also contribute to this new programme. Develop a guidebook on the implementation of gender sensitive and inclusive STBM-MHM, in collaboration with AMPL working groups, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education and Culture 2. Train for inclusive budgeting (for STBM-MHM and COVID-19) for village government and district/city governments officials 3. Offer technical capacity building for local government officials (AMPL working group, COVID-19 task force) to implement STBM-MHM in the target district/city 4. Hold regular coordination meetings with district/city stakeholders for improved implementation of STBM-MHM Financial sustainability : Local government and stakeholders have been involved during implementation leading to ownership of the program, especially the district working groups to ensure the sustainability of the program. Institutional sustainability: Plan will conduct capacity building for Sub-district Community Lead Total Sanitation Teams to encourage district government’s policy to institutionalize GESI-CLTS policy in their own planning. Ecological sustainability: The District Disaster Management Body and the Public Works Agency in the membership of POKJA AMPL will be involved to ensure sustainability of WASH Facilities, by providing guidelines to build facilities that are resilient to disasters and environmentally save, Social sustainability: Natural leaders are engaged in the communities assisting in the WASH First at community level. Vulnerable groups such as women, girls, PLWD, the elderly and children, targeted through different channels (schools, community health centres ) have been engaged from the beginning to ensure effective outreach to disability groups is incorporated in the design and implementation. Interventions have been designed to address the needs of girls and women.

Specify capacity training NL-KVK-41198890-UGA100460 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The WASH First Programme aims to combat the spread of COVID-19 through improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene. The programme is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and implemented by the WASH SDG Consortium partners SNV, WASH Alliance International and Plan International Netherlands. Plan is implementing the programme in 4 countries: Indonesia, Uganda, Kenya and Mozambique. The programme started in September 2020 and will run until the end of November 2022.In Uganda, Plan International is implementing the programme in Nebbi District. Together with the District Plan International Uganda will: (1) Raise awareness of the people living in the target areas on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, (2) Provide the people living in the target areas with hygiene kits, disinfected equipment, soap and personal protective equipment to enable them to practice good hygiene, (3) Improve access to water facilities by rehabilitating water points. In Uganda the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed on the 22nd of March 2020 and , first COVID-19 death was reported on the 24th of July 2020. Although confirmed cases initially were low in Uganda partly due to limiting testing, they increased substantially in the second halve of 2020. On the 18th of March 2020 lock down measures were taken in Uganda that included the closure of borders, schools, public places, businesses and transport. Plan International Uganda will work in Nebbi District, bordering Congo. The effects of the lockdown there include lack of safe water points, famine, loss of jobs and an increase in domestic violence. Communities have reported an increase in water usage, which is has resulted in long queues for water and long distances to travel for water and limited access to menstrual hygiene products due to the disruption of the supply chain. The WASH First programme focuses on specific objectives targeting high at-risk and most marginalized populations for which a full results framework has been elaborated. Main results in order to reduce the spread of the virus: • Result 1: Enhanced understanding of individuals, communities, health workers, schools and WASH service providers about mitigation measures against COVID-19 transmission • Result 2: Population at risk of COVID-19 have sufficient and constant access to commodities and consumables (handwashing facilities, disinfection equipment, soap, hygiene kits including menstrual health products and personal protective equipment (PPE)) • Result 3: Population at risk of COVID-19 have safe (considering safeguarding and security) access to water and sanitation services through the construction of new and repair of non-functional water and sanitation facilities or through temporary/mobile supplies/services. Plan International Uganda has been working in Uganda since 1992 and since Nebbi since 2018. This project will build on and be aligned with the existing WASH SDG project that is already being implemented in the target district Nebbi and will leverage on the human resource already in place to implement the proposed activities. The end beneficiaries of the programme activities will the vulnerable and at risk groups living in the 4 low income rural sub counties Kucwiny, Nyaravur, Akworo and Parombo in Nebbi District that boarders Congo. Plan International Uganda will implement the following activities on the 6 intervention strategies: Intervention strategy 1: Awareness raising (campaigns and mass media campaigns) on COVID-19 • Implement gender and socially inclusive hygiene promotion campaigns in public places and communities using vehicle caravans. Translate existing handwashing IEC materials including gender/ social inclusive and child friendly versions. • Procure airtime on electronic media to relay campaign gender sensitive and inclusive messages to create awareness on prevention and risk mitigation around public settings, water points and markets. • Localise and print gender sensitive information, education and communication materials on COVID-19 and hand hygiene. Intervention strategy 2: Direct information sharing and messaging • Adopt non-conventional approaches including remote meetings to enable sub-county and community engagements. • Support training of health workers, village health teams (VHTs) and surveillance officers on prevention measures for COVID 19, using CMEs and on-the-job training. • Support training for VHTs and water and sanitation committees in making soap, sanitary pads and face masks. This training will enable VHTs and WASH committees to expand access to necessary WASH commodities. Intervention strategy 3: Improving access to safe drinking water and water supply for handwashing, as well as menstrual health and sanitation (including safe disposal of waste) • Support the district to restore water supply through rehabilitation of boreholes in public places, health centres and communities. This will facilitate effective hand hygiene and access to safe water. Intervention strategy 4: Improving access to safe handwashing facilities • Procure and distribute hands-free handwashing facilities and detergents in public places including health care centres and water points. Care will be taken to ensure that such facilities are accessible to the vulnerable target groups both in terms of placement and operation. Intervention strategy 5: Access to hygiene products including soap, disinfectant, PPE and menstrual hygiene products • Procure items to support VHTs and health educators to increase access to hygiene products for target groups. These include: mega-phones (for targeted information provision), education and communication materials, handwashing stations, soap, detergent and facial masks. • Procurement and distribution of hygiene kits for girls and women. Intervention strategy 6: COVID-related coordination meetings with local government and other stakeholders • Strengthen coordination of COVID-19 initiatives at the district and regional levels by revamping the district water and sanitation coordination committees and through UWASNET. • Support advocacy and influencing efforts at the national level by documenting and publicizing the impact of COVID-19 on the WASH sector. Institutional: By involving local government and local stakeholders, the ownership of the Programme will be anchored in the local institutional structure. Social: The active participation of the target groups is essential to ensure that we respond to their specific needs. The overall goal of this program is the “promotion of health-related hygiene practices to prevent further spread of COVID-19 through awareness raising and improved access to WASH services.” The intervention will ensure that the achievement of the SDG 6 goals does not come to a standstill in the intervention areas.

The province is exposed to multiple negative impacts of hazards like flooding, landslides and tsunamis. The action will strengthen local populations’ resilience to weather extremes and seismic events by consistently applying a gender, protection and inclusion approach. Among the beneficiaries there will be focus on women, children, migrants and people living with disabilities. The action has 5 components: 1. Emergency response with a focus on protection, inclusion and migrants, 2. Critical information management, 3. Design of contingency response plans at community level, 4. Increasing urban resilient construction capacities, 5. Communication and advocacy on disaster preparedness. Targeted communities identified a lack of community structures or means to work with the government on DRM. Consequently, they lack capacity to respond to natural hazards and have few preparedness mechanisms in place. Provincial and municipal actors report lack of access to real time information, needing physical and digital documents to facilitate decision-making before, during, and after the impact of a hazard. Some of the problems reported in school infrastructure were: a lack of evidence of geotechnical studies; weak structural redundancy; poor water quality and inadequate sanitation; lack of school risk management or emergency plans; and the absence of management structures. Protection: DIGAR is concerned about the lack of capacity within the education community on psycho-affective recovery for children and their families. Crisis situations create problems at the individual, family, community and society levels, increasing risks and weakening protection support especially for children. This is particularly true for foster/care homes which lack emergency preparedness, having no contingency plans in place and no tools to provide psychosocial support. Housing organizations use different methodology and intervention criteria in a disaster. Prior interventions varied in quality and often excluded vulnerable groups such as PwD and migrants. Of a sample of 1,800 people in vulnerable communities, 80% cited the loss or temporary loss of their house as the greatest risk that their family faces in a natural disaster. The shelter cluster only focuses on temporary shelters. The National Housing Institute lacks protocols for emergencies and does not mitigate construction risks regarding vulnerable groups.Women recognized unidentified threats at community level, such as climate change and isolation in relation to safe routes. Adolescent girls have minimal control of resources/power and face increased risks of GBV and early pregnancy, especially in post-flood housing. Based on the needs assessment and in line with the HIP 2020 focus on regional and national multi-hazard preparedness for response, the proposed action is designed to ensure communities, national and local institutions, actors, and governments are better prepared to respond to disasters and have increased knowledge and tools in how to include protection and inclusion in their response. The proposal has a special emphasis on the migrant population in the Dominican Republic, which was identified as particularly vulnerable. The action will intervene at community, local, national, and regional/bi-national levels, targeting urban communities particularly exposed to multiple hazards with limited response capacity of local actors. The strategy addresses identified needs in disaster preparedness/response capacity; humanitarian protection; education and resilient construction. Across all four components, emphasis will be given to vulnerable population groups (PwD, migrants, woman and girls), by ensuring that gender, protection, and inclusion are cross-cutting. 111 At community level, the selection criteria for the beneficiary population is to be in a situation of high socioeconomic vulnerability and high exposure to natural hazards. At institutional level, the selection criteria of the beneficiary institutions is to have a key role at national or local level either in DRM/disaster preparedness positions. This programme commits itself to the following 4 objectives: 1. Strengthening disaster preparedness and response capacity of community, local and national actors. 2. Integrating humanitarian protection in disaster preparedness with a gender and inclusion approach. 3. Strengthening disaster preparedness in the education sector using Safer Schools approach. 4. Promoting resilient construction. In this project Plan will lead the regional, national, municipal and local communications component in the target cities in the Dominican Republic. At community level, Plan will lead the work aimed at strengthening the Civil Defense capacity to support Community PMR Networks. Plan has a long history of work with government institutions in charge of guaranteeing children’s rights to protection and education, particularly the Ministry of Education/DIGAR and CONANI, with whom the organization has established collaboration agreements to promote the protection of children’s rights with a special focus on girls’ rights.

Since the onset of the war in Ukraine, and of the end of June 2022, UNHCR estimates there are over 5.4 million refugees present across Europe. Inside Ukraine, many people who are trapped are unable to meet their basic needs including for food, water and medicines. 11 Dutch collaborating aid organizations join forces under Giro555 to launch a rapid response program to Ukraine crisis. This funding will be used to provide protection, MHPSS, Food and Non-food assistance to children, adolescent and caregiver IDPs and host communities in Ukraine, giving a priority on delivering life-saving assistance to meet the basic and protection needs of IDPs, and host communities in Ukraine. Since the upset of conflict in Ukraine in Feb 2022, the war has caused civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcing people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance. Within seven weeks, more than 5 million refugees have fled into countries neighboring Ukraine and beyond. International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimated that 6.3 million people were internally displaced, while nearly 6 million people sought refuge in European countries, according to the UN Refugee Agency. Therefore, humanitarian partners are on high alert for increased protection risks including trafficking, gender-based violence and exploitation. Inside Ukraine, many people who are trapped are unable to meet their basic needs including for food, water and medicines. The delivery of life-saving aid remains challenging, with a lack of safe humanitarian access in areas where intense fighting is ongoing. While The humanitarian situation across the country—particularly in the eastern Ukraine- is still increasingly alarming and rapidly deteriorating, OCHA has reported over 15.7 million people in need million people need safe access to multisectoral services in Ukraine. Plan International Netherlands (NLNO) in partnership with Defence for Children Netherlands (DFC) and through their national partner All-Ukrainian Foundation for Children’s Rights (AUFCR) have begun a humanitarian response project in Ukraine funded by SHO/GIRO555. The project is implemented by the national NGO partner AUFCR. It aims to increase access to protection for children in war-affected regions (particularly Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, Odesa), and hosting territories (Chernivtsi, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpatska, Poltavska), with special attention for evacuated children from war-affected territories, children in need (children in bomb shelters, child hospitals, maternity hospitals, orphanages, institutions), children with disabilities, and children from vulnerable families (low-mobile, single-parent and refugee/IDP families). this will be achieved through: -Provision of protection, GBV, and child protection prevention and response services. -Provision for Food assistance for children living in residential care institutions. -Provision for Non-food assistance to evacuated children (boys and girls under 18) in orphanages, including sanitation and hygienic supplies. Since the war began on 24 February, humanitarian partners have rapidly increased the scale and scope of operations, in Ukraine . In Ukraine, humanitarian practitioners exposing to serious protection risks due to the lack of unimpeded humanitarian access in non-Government-controlled areas results in delays in determining and meeting food assistance and livelihood support needs. OCHA has repeatedly reports a huge gaps in many humanitarian response sectors. According to WHO, access to health care is severely affected by security conditions, restricted mobility, broken supply chains and mass displacement. Reaching the hardest-hit areas in the east, where health systems have been severely disrupted, remains challenging. Fuel shortages and access problems continue to pose challenges to the delivery and distribution of medical supplies. On protection side, millions of people remain in need of protection assistance, this include the need for provision of assistive devices for people with disabilities and older people. Lack of or restricted access to certain areas in the east of the country continues to impede the delivery of protection services to internally displaced people and other affected populations. Project focuses on providing immediate assistance and protection to children (boys and girls), and caregivers. There is particular attention for most vulnerable, such as children with disabilities, disabled parents with children, IDPs, UASCs, single mothers with young children, children in hospitals and mothers/children in maternity hospitals . Defence for Children with their national partner in Ukraine will adhere to concrete action plan to enhance access to protection for children in Ukraine war-affected regions, with special attention for evacuated children from war-affected territories, children in need (children in bomb shelters, child hospitals, maternity hospitals, orphanages, institutions), children with disabilities, and children from vulnerable families (low-mobile, single-parent and refugee/IDP families). Partner organizations will reach minimum 11,000 children with multi-sectoral humanitarian response activities, this include: - 10.000 IDPs, survival and at risk people accessing protection services in Ukraine: Partner organization will identify most vulnerable survivals and/or at risk people. Providing protection and referral services through 21 community centers mutli-service units in 21 local communities in 7 oblasts in Western Ukraine (hosting territories). Establishing 28 mobile teams in 28 locations in 7 oblasts in North, East and South Ukraine (war-affected territories). Providing psychosocial support for 1.000 evacuated children (boys and girls under 18) from low mobile, single-parent and refugee/IDP families, evacuated from war-affected regions to hosting territories in Western Ukraine. Providing psychosocial support for 1.600 children (boys and girls under 18) from vulnerable families, including GBV survivors, in war-affected regions.

Since the onset of the war in Ukraine, and of the end of June 2022, UNHCR estimates there are over 5.4 million refugees present across Europe. Inside Ukraine, many people who are trapped are unable to meet their basic needs including for food, water and medicines. 11 Dutch collaborating aid organizations join forces under Giro555 to launch a rapid response program to Ukraine crisis. This funding will be used to provide protection, MHPSS, WASH, and Multi-purpose Cash Assistance to children, adolescent and caregiver IDPs and host communities in Ukraine, giving a priority on delivering life-saving assistance to meet the basic and protection needs of IDPs, and host communities in Ukraine. Since the military escalation in February 2022, over 7.14 million people have been displaced internally throughout Ukraine and this number is expected to continue to rise in the coming months as the conflict continues. Multiple needs assessments have flagged the following needs as IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) main concerns: cash support; clothes, shoes and NFIs (Non-Food Item); meds and health; transport; food; and hygiene kits. Inside Ukraine, many people who are trapped are unable to meet their basic needs including for food, water and medicines. The delivery of life-saving aid remains challenging, with a lack of safe humanitarian access in areas where intense fighting is ongoing. While The humanitarian situation across the country—particularly in the eastern Ukraine- is still increasingly alarming and rapidly deteriorating, OCHA has reported over 15.7 million people in need million people need safe access to multi-sectoral services in Ukraine. Plan international and IMC will be focusing their interventions in areas with high IDP populations as they are considered the most vulnerable and in need of assistance as do their hosts in Ukraine. Multipurpose cash (MPC) transfers have been one of the most appropriate and timely modalities to addressing the immediate multiple needs of the affected population. MPC programmes specifically are fit-for-purpose in the emergency context. IMC will conduct a rapid market analysis to confirm the modality of the assistance that will be provided in each location based on need and availability of services. The team proposes to reach 4,000 families with cash and voucher assistance in the project period. Additionally IMC will operate through its multi-service centers operated in Odessa and Stryi to provide protection, mental health psychosocial support, child protection in emergencies and referral services. Plan International with IMC aim to support will support distribution of drinkable water to IDPs and vulnerable host families as needed. The WASH team will also distribute hygiene kits to 1,300 families and to 8 health facilities. Since the war began on 24 February, humanitarian partners have rapidly increased the scale and scope of operations, in Ukraine . In Ukraine, humanitarian practitioners exposing to serious protection risks due to the lack of unimpeded humanitarian access in non-Government-controlled areas results in delays in determining and meeting food assistance and livelihood support needs. OCHA has repeatedly reports a huge gaps in many humanitarian response sectors. According to WHO, access to health care is severely affected by security conditions, restricted mobility, broken supply chains and mass displacement. Reaching the hardest-hit areas in the east, where health systems have been severely disrupted, remains challenging. Fuel shortages and access problems continue to pose challenges to the delivery and distribution of medical supplies. On protection side, millions of people remain in need of protection assistance, this include the need for provision of assistive devices for people with disabilities and older people. Lack of or restricted access to certain areas in the east of the country continues to impede the delivery of protection services to internally displaced people and other affected populations. Project focuses on providing immediate assistance and protection to children (boys and girls), and caregivers. There is particular attention for most vulnerable, such as children with disabilities, disabled parents with children, IDPs, UASCs, single mothers with young children. 1) Cash and voucher assistance to vulnerable families within Lviv, Odessa, Stryi, and Kyiv. Since the very beginning of humanitarian response in Ukraine, multipurpose cash (MPC) transfers have been one of the most appropriate and timely modalities to addressing the immediate multiple needs of the affected population. A rapid market analysis will be completed to confirm the modality of the assistance that will be provided in each location based on need and availability of services. The team proposes to reach 4,000 families with cash and voucher assistance in the project period (500 in Stryi, 500 in Odessa, 500 in Lviv and then 2000 in Kyiv and its surrounding areas). a) For static IDPs in locations with functioning markets, one-off value-based vouchers will be distributed to beneficiaries to the value of $250 per household. • The beneficiaries will be able to use their voucher to pick purchase items from a pre-approved list (e.g., food, clothes, bedding) to the total value of the voucher. The list will be put together based on the needs reported by each community. The list is to avoid spending the voucher on items such as alcohol. This activity will target a total of 3,000 people. b) For particularly vulnerable families heavily impacted by conflict and in areas with limited access to a market, cash assistance will be distributed to beneficiaries as a $150 one off payment. • The cash will be provided in coordination with bank/financial institutes on availability of methods which may range from cash cards or collection from the bank or direct cash handouts. This activity will target a total of 1,000 vulnerable families. 2) Emergency WASH (Water Sanitation and Hygiene) Activities in Stryi, Odessa, and Kyiv The WASH needs remain high in multiple locations as some IDPs and hosts continue to report having a limited supply of water and little or no access to hygiene supplies. The WASH team will distribute water bottles to IDPs and vulnerable host families as needed. The WASH team will also distribute hygiene kits to 1,300 families and to 8 health facilities. 3) Establishing 1 pilot Multi-Service Centers (MSC) offering integrated services in Stryi – MHPSS (Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services), CP (Child Protection), GBV (Gender Based Violence), Health (education and screening/referrals only) Given the current context there is a need to start piloting MSCs to allows IDPs and vulnerable host community members to be able to access multiple services quickly to address the many reported needs. Following an assessment in Stryi, community members reported needing access to mental health services and further support for women and children. The MSC will offer psychosocial first aid (PFA) and other counselling services, services for women and children such as WGSS (Women and Girls Safe Spaces), child friendly spaces, offer information about current available services, legal information and health education with referrals as needed. Integrated multi-sectoral services provided at the MSC will include: MHPSS: • Integrate MHPSS into mobile multi-service units to ensure basic psychosocial support including Psychological First Aid (PFA) is delivered to those with emotional distress, and to link people to other support services as needed • Conduct community-based awareness-raising and messaging on positive coping mechanisms, including Self-Help Plus and approaches that align with previous work in Ukraine that promotes PSS and peer-help support for older persons • Train first responders on PFA • Collaborate with local actors to explore how to strengthen mutually prioritized psychosocial support initiatives GBV: • Coordinate with other service providers, particularly mobile and static health services, to strengthen response and referrals, particularly for clinical management of rape • Conduct outreach and awareness-raising, focused on GBV risks (including exploitation, trafficking, and risks during movement) and available services • Provide training within populations on basic first response principles and PFA for GBV Child Protection: • Integrate child protection interventions into MSC • Conduct PSS recreational activities for children and youth • Provide PFA and individual counselling in coordination with MHPSS • Identification and referral of unaccompanied and separated children • Raise awareness on family separation and risks of trafficking and other relevant child protection concerns • Conduct rapid assessments to determine needs of orphanages and institutions supporting children without care givers • Child Protection mainstreaming and training of staff on key child protection topics IMC Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Basic health care Basic drinking water supply and basic sanitation Material relief assistance and services Multisector aid Multisector aid Gender Equality Protection and Assistance in Emergencies (Disaster Risk Management) THRIVE - Protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: Multi-Purpose Cash Humanitarian support: Multi-Purpose Cash Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: capacity building in protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: Multi-Purpose Cash Humanitarian support: Multi-Purpose Cash Humanitarian support: health Humanitarian support: mental health Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Humanitarian support: Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Humanitarian support: Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Humanitarian support: Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection NL-KVK-41198890-SSD100254 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: The action intends to provide an integrated multi-sectoral response to conflict-affected and at-risk boys, girls, women and men in Greater Yei, Central Equatoria State. The action seeks to provide an enhanced protective environment for communities through improved access to quality child protection and education activities. This will be complemented with WASH services which will positively enhance protection and education-related outcomes. The intention is to build on the interventions implemented by Plan International (PI) in 2019 (in partnership with TdH) in rural and urban Yei expanding into Lainya county. PI (lead partner) will continue to focus on protection and education interventions, while Tearfund (TF) will provide WASH services to improve educational outcomes. The action will reach a total o 3f5,437 beneficiaries. All activities will be adapted to minimise the risks of transmission of COVID-19. There are over 2.8 million children out of school while 46% of those aged between 10-14 years are engaged in child labor and other exploitative work. UNICEF estimates that over 1 million children are experiencing psychosocial distress, while over 25,000 UASC require FTR and reintegration services. Over 19,000 children are estimated to be recruited or used by armed forces (UNICEF, Plan and SCI 2021 reports, National CPIMS+ database). Insecurity, lack of basic services and property issues prevented returnees from returning home, and create high needs for reintegration serv iSceosm. e 8.3 million people in South Sudan are estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance in 2021 (South Sudan, HNO 2021). Protracted and continued conflict/flood induced displacement limit access to WASH infrastructure and places an extra burden on existing infrastructure. In the assessed counties in CES, fighting continues, causing major displacement to the border counties in CES. 33% of children are separated from parents/caregiver. Cross-border movement, constant community displacement in addition to COVID-19 measures are lead causes. This pauses for UASC risks of recruitment, school dropout, distress, exploitation, and negative coping mechanism. The action will adopt an intersectoral approach to integrate the education and child protection activities with WASH-related support to enhance the education and protection outcomes. It will put an important accent on enhancing enjoyment of participants’ rights without restricting access on the grounds of gender, disability or diversity. Gender transformative and GBV approaches will be mainstreamed to address gender-related risks that affect women and girls and hinder access to services, participation in leadership roles and maximize their full potential. This response is therefore aims to meet their humanitarian needs through an integrated and holistic approach. The program is designed based on the needs assessment. The selected sectors and priorities are in line with the HIP priorities and the priorities of the relevant Clusters, as the action aims at providing humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected communities and addressing critical humanitarian needs through emergency life-saving activities. The intervention aims at providing education and protection services to the affected population, while rolling out WaSH related support in order to enhance the outcomes, and building the capacity of the actors and beneficiaries.

Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection NL-KVK-41198890-LBN100019 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The INMA’A Consortium, comprising of Save the Children (SC) as lead, Plan International, and two co-applicant local organizations Akkarouna and LOST, implement a 3-year sustainable livelihood program (2020-2023) that builds on existing social protection programs for both Lebanese and Syrian refugee communities. The project is being implemented in Akkar and Baalbek-Hermel, Lebanon. This projects supports Lebanese to “graduate” off reliance on social assistance, and supports Syrian refugees in their material safety as a preparedness measure. Since the start of the Syrian crisis, the Lebanese government has not developed a coherent framework which both recognizes the presence of Syrian refugees and identifies local governments’ responsibilities nor a legal framework for refugees’ residency and labor status. Poverty levels in Lebanon are high for both Lebanese and Syrians, and long-term resilience is eroding as households exhaust savings and struggle to generate income. According to the World Bank, presently 1.5 million Lebanese (and 470,000 Lebanese children) are estimated to live below the poverty line. Unemployment is 51% among the heads of vulnerable Lebanese households. The youth unemployment rate in Lebanon is estimated to be over three times the national unemployment rate, while women are twice as likely to be unemployed as men. In the current economic crisis, needs of the target group are likely to increase significantly. Amidst heightening anxieties surrounding economic austerity, overstretched resources and high unemployment, Syrian refugees are increasingly being associated, in the public perception, with economic issues in Lebanon. The Overall Objective of this action is “Severely vulnerable households in Lebanon are more self-reliant and less dependent on social assistance”. The Specific Objectives (SO) are: Strengthened ability of severely vulnerable Lebanese and Syrian refugee households to meet their children’s basic needs; Improved economic self-reliance of selected households; Increased ability of households to manage financial resources, accrue savings, and increase productive assets; Adolescent boys and girls, youth and women are empowered to protect themselves and claim their rights. The theory of change for this Action is if severely vulnerable households receive comprehensive social protection measures prior to engagement in a phased and integrated livelihood program, then they will be more likely to maintain sustainable livelihood activities after the end of the program, because their basic needs will be covered and they will have sufficient resources to invest time and capital in their future. The objective of the program is that participating families become self-reliant, less dependent on social assistance, and active contributors to local economies. This is supported by extensive evidence and learning from Save the Children International, its consortium partners, and other graduation approach actors globally. Drawing on the strengths of systems and structures that already exist in Lebanon, the INMA’A Consortium tests this graduation approach in the Lebanon context and generate learning and evidence to share with relevant stakeholders. Participants in the first stage of the program will be targeted based on their inclusion in existing social safety net and basic assistance programs, including for Lebanese the consumption support provided under the NPTP by the government, and for Syrians the cash-for-food assistance provided by WFP. The program activities are be delivered in Baalbek-Hermel and Akkar, given the high levels of economic vulnerability in these governorates, the pressure on community resources, and the high concentration of beneficiaries in the WFP and NPTP programs. A total of 2,125 households, approximately 10,625 beneficiaries (5,312 Lebanese, 5,312 Syrian). These targets are evenly split between Baalbek-Hermel and Akkar (5,312 in each location). The program aims that 600 households from each nationality achieve the overall self-reliance , targeting women and men adult caregivers, and girls and boys from age 14-24. Both Lebanese and refugee communities living in Lebanon face severe lack of social protection coverage. This prevents the most vulnerable from accessing opportunities to transition off aid-dependency and maintains intergenerational poverty traps. To address this need, the INMA’A Consortium, comprising of Save the Children (SC), Plan International, and two co-applicant local organizations Akkarouna and LOST, implements a 3-year sustainable livelihood program that builds on existing social protection programs for both Lebanese and Syrian refugee communities. It support Lebanese to “graduate” off reliance on social assistance, and support Syrian refugees in their material safety as a preparedness measure. The intervention links beneficiaries of the Ministry of Social Affairs’ (MOSA) National Poverty Targeting Program (NPTP) and World Food Program’s (WFP) food assistance to additional and specialized social assistance through cash transfers “plus” targeted behavioral support. Beneficiaries will then be re-assessed against socio-economic vulnerability thresholds in line with the Refugee Assistance Information System (RAIS) categorizations and Household Economy Analysis (HEA) categories, and selected beneficiaries transition to livelihood activities following the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee/Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (BRAC/CGAP) “graduation approach”. Through the graduation approach, a uniquely targeted, time-bound, and holistic approach, the INMA’A Consortium aims to reach the poorest and support them on to sustainable pathways out of extreme poverty. In the context of Lebanon, the proposed “twin-track” approach will build on those social safety nets already in place for vulnerable households. For Lebanese, the “graduation” component specifically targets the subset of NPTP beneficiaries with the capacity for economic self-sufficiency. For Syrian refugees, the activities represent a sustainable approach aiming to reduce their reliance on WFP aid and the development of their material safety as a preparedness measure. Households among the target group who do not or cannot meet necessary selection requirements can be provided with alternative human capital development activities. The unique approach of the INMA’A Consortium to graduation programming focuses on reduction of child poverty and addressing the multidimensional impact of poverty on children in the household. As children are dependents, they are more vulnerable to malnutrition, disease, and abuse. Social protection and livelihoods programs which are not child sensitive can have unintended negative consequences, including failure to address the inter-generational transmission of poverty. By integrating child-centered outcomes and prioritizing youth engagement alongside the caregiver or head of household, we invest in their future and ensure that no generation is lost due to poverty or displacement. A child sensitive approach to graduation in particular therefore represents a higher return on investment in the long term. At economic level, 1100 households will participate in the graduation approach, improving their chances of realizing their full potential, by gaining vocational and/or entrepreneurship skills. The establishment of stronger linkages between the private sector, community actors and institutes involved in vocational training will strengthen market driven training. On legal/social level, strengthening linkage with legal referral systems and improved awareness on rights will contribute to better protection of the target group. Additionally, emphasis is being put on social stability between refugee and host communities. The project aims to change discriminating gender norms and values. Through interventions on the importance of women and youth engagement, the action is strengthening the empowerment and self-reliance of this specific target group and provides them with an opportunity to contribute to the community and engage in household decision making. At policy level, the action will increase the context specific knowledge, understanding and sufficient buy-in from key government counterparts on the potential impact, characteristics and needs regarding the economic development and social stability in Lebanon.

This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Netherlands’ Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and has a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. The prevention of CEFMU and TP is more urgent than ever, as the COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live, resulting in increasing levels of gender based violence, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of child marriage and teenage pregnancies.. This crisis has further excluded adolescent girls and boys in remote areas from accessing ASRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential ASRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C) and CEFMU, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in Niger where CEFMU incidence is already the highest worldwide. Because poverty is a key driver of child marriage, these economic impacts are likely to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. At the same time, many girls have dropped out from school and are likely never to return, leaving them with few options other than CEFMU and TP. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CM/TP. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CM to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy or other reasons. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, including community leaders, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting civil society organisations to organise, participate and communicate enables these to claim better education and access to quality ASRHR for girls, boys and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy by civil society. Decision-makers at localm national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency The programme intervention is a.o. based upon the learnings and results of the Yes I Do programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan and partners in five of the nine BF! countries, enriched with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on access to education and ASRHR. All BF! partners have experience in improving legislation and policies to prevent CEFMU and improve ASRHR and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights and access to quality education. In the past, similar efforts resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, which served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society advocacy tool across the SADC region. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. However, CSOs advocating for GYW rights and ASRHR particularly face an increasingly hostile environment fuelled by authoritarian governments, traditional/religious systems and fundamentalist forces, depicting ASRHR and gender equality as threatening traditional and family values. In the Sahel focus countries including Niger, conflict affects freedom of movement and drives authorities to further confine civic space. Deeply rooted gender norms combined with authoritarian governments limit the space for CSOs to claim SRH rights. By establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision makers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency, political will increases and civil society has the capacity to advocate for improved ASRHR and access to education related policies, laws and resourcing resulting in prevention of CM and TP. Within the population of girls and young women (between 10 and 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion and who are vulnerable to CEFMU and teenage pregnancy and actively engage adolescent and young boys and men for this. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • GYW from sexual minority groups Break Free! contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. Break Free! will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: BreakFree! will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond Break Free!. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: BreakFree! is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

SRHR information will be shared during awareness-raising caravans and celebration of International Days on the importance of education, return and retention of all children, especially girls, in school. Peer-to-peer information sharing will also be done for in and out of school youth and the YouthWyze intervention will be developed in 2023. This result was achieved thanks to the various actions, notably the training and awareness sessions carried out by partner Lafia Matassa with community structures and target communities. Beyond this educational pair provided by community structures, we note the organization of health fairs in the 20 villages of project interventions. The curative and preventive nature of the fairground allowed us to note a strong mobilization of young women in planning and counseling actions. In order to achieve the objectives planned for the year 2024, close monitoring of community structures is planned, in particular the Clubs of future husbands and peer educators. A tool will be made available to field supervisors in order to track the number of people affected by these structures through their awareness-raising actions.

NL-KVK-41198890-BFA100439 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Millions of young people don’t have access to appropriate, gender-responsive, quality SRHR education, information and services. This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Netherlands’ Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. The prevention of CEFMU and TP is more urgent than ever, as the COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live, resulting in increasing levels of gender based violence, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of child marriage and teenage pregnancies.. This crisis has further excluded adolescent girls and boys in remote areas from accessing ASRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential ASRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C) and CEFMU, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in Burkina Faso where CEFMU incidence is already high. Because poverty is a key driver of child marriage, these economic impacts are likely to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. At the same time, many girls have dropped out from school and are likely never to return, leaving them with few options other than CEFMU and TP. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CM/TP and FGM/C. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CM to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy or other reasons. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, including community leaders, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting civil society organisations to organise, participate and communicate enables these to claim better education and access to quality ASRHR for girls, boys and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy by civil society. Decision-makers at localm national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency The programme intervention is a.o. based upon the learnings and results of the Yes I Do programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan and partners in five of the nine BF! countries, enriched with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on access to education and ASRHR. All BF! partners have experience in improving legislation and policies to prevent CEFMU and improve ASRHR and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights and access to quality education. In the past, similar efforts resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, which served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society advocacy tool across the SADC region. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. However, CSOs advocating for GYW rights and ASRHR particularly face an increasingly hostile environment fuelled by authoritarian governments, traditional/religious systems and fundamentalist forces, depicting ASRHR and gender equality as threatening traditional and family values. In the Sahel focus countries including Burkina Faso, conflict affects freedom of movement and drives authorities to further confine civic space. Deeply rooted gender norms combined with authoritarian governments limit the space for CSOs to claim SRH rights. By establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision makers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency, political will increases and civil society has the capacity to advocate for improved ASRHR and access to education related policies, laws and resourcing resulting in prevention of CEFMU and TP. Within the population of girls and young women (between 10 and 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion and who are vulnerable to CEFMU and teenage pregnancy and actively engage adolescent and young boys and men for this. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • GYW from sexual minority groups Break Free! contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. Break Free! will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: BreakFree! will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond Break Free!. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: BreakFree! is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

Youth and adolescent clubs have been created by the consortium partners, these adolescents and youth received trainings on SRHR and life skills and spaces were created for exchange and debate amongst these young people and their peers. Digital challenges between youth clubs were organized around sexual health and family planning. The administrative, religious and other community authorities were introduced in the YouthWyze and other SRHR related activities and sensitized on the importance of the issue. The target is not reached at the male level because during the activities more girls and women came forward to participate. In addition, awareness campaigns on SRHR mobilized fewer people than expected. This is also partly due to the insecure situation in the program implementation districts/communities. The program will organize information and sensitization caravans on ASRH, child marriages and female genital mutilation/cutting and inclusive education of adolescent girls. The YouthWyze intervention will be developed in 2023. Consortium members, in particular Plan International Burkina, have implemented SRHR-related activities for adolescents and young people. Members of teenagers' and young people's clubs have been trained by Plan International Burkina on SRHR and life skills, and spaces (especially WhatsApp groups) have been created for exchange and debate between these young people and their peers. In addition to the training sessions, information, and awareness-raising caravans on SRHR, CM, FGM and inclusive adolescent education were organized for adolescents and young people. AfriYan (contracted partner of SAT) continued to use YouthWyze to reach adolescents and youth with SRHR related activities, and during the period, 261.745 youth under 24 years old were engaged through social media interactions. This will be done through public campaigns as well as during training of youth groups, as part of knowledge and information sharing on ASRH, child marriages and female genital mutilation/cutting and inclusive education of adolescent girls. Also via social media ASRHR information is shared through YouthWyze which is being implemented since 2023 . Local cultural sensitivity hinder data collection for other gender options. Significant progress was made in this area through targeted and participatory activities. Young people received SRHR information through awareness raising sessions in schools, and received trainings in life skills, focusing on self-esteem, self-confidence, leadership and responsible management of sexuality, has provided these teenagers with concrete tools to make informed choices. Moreover, the programme organized women's football mini-tournaments in Manga and Kombissiri, and has thereby created a dynamic framework to address child marriage (CM) and early pregnancy (TP). These events, facilitated by the YouthHub's trained youth, fostered peer outreach, contributing to encouraging adolescent girls to freely request SRHR services and information safely. For the most part, community students were unable to benefit from the training courses due to their class schedules. Furthermore, activities such as “providing coaching and mentoring to young people” are limited by the students' limited availability, making them difficult to implement. This explains the underachievement of the set target under this indicator. The participants reached are aged 10-24. Activities entail Promotion and animation of the information platforms "Break free community!" and the "YouthWyze" page. Also organization of an information caravan on SRH at the municipal level with the youth lead. This difference is mainly due to the awareness-raising activities carried out in schools, as well as the training provided to students and supervisors on protection issues. These initiatives have improved practices in many schools. However, it is important to point out that some schools, despite having the minimum protection standards in place, still do not fully apply them in their day-to-day operations. BF!

Given the fact that program has no partner associations outside the consortium members and outside its current areas of intervention, it remains difficult to increase the number of CSO’s and networks involved. This geographical and partnership limitation hinders the expansion of the program's activities. The existing youth CSOs in the project implementation areas are functional. They convene regularly and participate in activities when requested. However, in terms of SRH advocacy, they are not sufficiently informed and are not networked to carry out actions to improve the quality of services for them. In order to remedy this situation, the capacities of formal and informal CSO networks, including youth movements and associations, in terms of advocacy on ASRH and girls’ education will be strengthened. These structures will be able to carry out autonomous activities. targeted number The trainings have not yet been conducted with these CSOs. They will be carried out during the year 2023.

NL-KVK-41198890-SDN100333 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Millions of young people don’t have access to appropriate, gender-responsive, quality SRHR education, information and services. This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Netherlands’ Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and has a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. The prevention of CEFMU and TP is more urgent than ever, as the COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live, resulting in increasing levels of gender based violence, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of child marriage and teenage pregnancies.. This crisis has further excluded adolescent girls and boys in remote areas from accessing ASRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential ASRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C) and CEFMU, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in Sudan where CEFMU incidence is already high. Because poverty is a key driver of child marriage, these economic impacts are likely to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. At the same time, many girls have dropped out from school and are likely never to return, leaving them with few options other than CEFMU and TP. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CM/TP and FGM/C. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CM to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy or other reasons. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, including community leaders, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting civil society organisations to organise, participate and communicate enables these to claim better education and access to quality ASRHR for girls, boys and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy by civil society. Decision-makers at localm national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency The programme intervention is a.o. based upon the learnings and results of the Yes I Do programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan and partners in five of the nine BF! countries, enriched with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on access to education and ASRHR. All BF! partners have experience in improving legislation and policies to prevent CEFMU and improve ASRHR and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights and access to quality education. In the past, similar efforts resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, which served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society advocacy tool across the SADC region. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. However, CSOs advocating for GYW rights and ASRHR particularly face an increasingly hostile environment fuelled by authoritarian governments, traditional/religious systems and fundamentalist forces, depicting ASRHR and gender equality as threatening traditional and family values. In Sudan, deeply rooted gender norms combined with authoritarian governments limit the space for CSOs and adolescent youth to claim ASRH rights. By establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision makers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency, political will increases and civil society has the capacity to advocate for improved ASRHR and access to education related policies, laws and resourcing resulting in prevention of CEFMU and TP. Within the population of girls and young women (between 10 and 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion and who are vulnerable to CEFMU and teenage pregnancy and actively engage adolescent and young boys and men for this. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • GYW from sexual minority groups Break Free! contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. Break Free! will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: BreakFree! will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond Break Free!. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: BreakFree! is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

By building the capacity of local actors and providing direct support to young entrepreneurs in Beirut, Mount Lebanon and Akkar, the project will generate sustainable, inclusive livelihoods and challenge entrenched gender inequalities. Plan Lebanon together with Plan Jordan's Centre of Excellence (CoE) for youth economic empowerment will support 300 youth (18-35 yrs) building entrepreneurial and employability skills and 70 with seed capital and technical assistance to develop innovative and sustainable businesses. Lebanon faces a deepening and multifaceted crisis, marked by economic collapse, political paralysis, and a growing humanitarian emergency. As of late 2024, approximately 75% of the population lives in multidimensional poverty, with many unable to meet basic needs for food, healthcare, and shelter. Among Syrian refugees, the situation is even more dire, with nine out of ten households living in extreme poverty. Youth unemployment remains critically high (47%), exacerbating social tension and economic exclusion. At the same time, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which account for more than 90% of registered businesses and employ around 50% of the workforce have been severely affected. The situation further deteriorated in 2024 due to escalating conflict in South Lebanon, Beirut, and Mount Lebanon, which significantly disrupted infrastructure, displaced populations, and strained already fragile systems. An estimated one million people were internally displaced, altering demographic patterns and placing pressure on local economies, labour markets, and public services. The project will be implemented through a conflict sensitive, flexible, and community-based approach. Mubaderoon III addresses key barriers to youth economic participation by combining capacity building, seed funding, coaching, and market linkages. This integrated model enables young people to develop community-driven enterprises that foster economic resilience, social inclusion, and recovery, even in the face of ongoing instability. Outcome 1: Building the capacity of Plan international Lebanon by leveraging the insights and methodology derived from Mubaderoon and similar projects Outcome 2: Strengthening local entrepreneurship ecosystem and expanding/creating social enterprises by providing: a) Social enterprises and youth with entrepreneurship skills and training to develop business plans and; b) seed funding and linkages to the labour market for selected youth and enterprises. Since 2019, Lebanon has faced a severe socioeconomic and political crisis marked by high unemployment, inflation, a shortage of foreign currency, and communal tensions. The COVID-19 pandemic, Beirut port explosion, and Syrian refugee crisis have worsened the situation, leading the World Bank to label it one of the worst economic crises in modern history in 2021. The recent Gaza war has further impacted key sectors, heightening the risk of economic contraction. From a gender perspective, women face disproportionate impacts, with lower labor force participation (32.7% unemployment rate versus 28.4% for men), higher reliance on family for financial access, and a higher proportion of job losses compared to men. Lebanon hosts over two million refugees, with 815,000 Syrian and 500,000 Palestinian refugees registered. The ongoing crises deepen vulnerabilities, particularly affecting refugees and migrants. Around 60% of Syrian youth aged 15-24 are not in education, employment, or training. The project will benefit youth (aged 18–35) from Beirut, Akkar and Mount Lebanon with special focus on women and girls. For the social entrepreneurship pathway, the project we will support MSME business owners and early-stage and growing social Lebanese enterprises. The project will also work with Syrian refugees and vulnerable host community members to facilitate integration and improve livelihoods. The project will include the following activities: • Develop gender-sensitive tools and curricula on youth entrepreneurship and social enterprises • Conduct Training of Trainers (ToT) for facilitators to deliver market relevant skills training • Establish a network of social entrepreneurs to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange • Facilitate knowledge and experience sharing through a knowledge-sharing platform, workshops, seminars, and peer learning • Train and coach 300 young people with entrepreneurship, employability, green and life skills with a focus on gender and inclusion, digital, green solutions/innovation, and labour rights. • Nurture advanced entrepreneurship skills among selected youth through business plan development training, mentorship, and pitch competitions • Conduct inter-gender dialogue sessions to discuss gender norms, harmful practices and barriers affecting women with parents/caregivers on gender • Distribution and monitoring of seed funding • Business Mentorship Programme • Establish and form linkages with the private sector to marketing of youth/enterprises production • Sensitization of the private sector on gender equality and inclusion and decent working conditions • Establish a network of social entrepreneurs to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange • Conduct research to assess the effectiveness of social entrepreneurship initiatives. In line with the objectives of Plan International Jordan's Centre of Excellence, the project aims to promote and strengthen social entrepreneurship beyond the project's duration. To foster long-term sustainability, the project will: - Cross-country collaboration: The project will be exemplary in fostering cross-country collaboration, strengthening regional localization efforts, and guaranteeing sustainable continuation and learnings harvesting. - Research and Learning Hub: Conducting research to better understand the challenges and opportunities for youth economic empowerment in the Lebanon and the region, including a monitoring and evaluation mechanism to assess the effectiveness and impact of youth economic empowerment interventions. - Program Design and Innovation: Supporting the development and implementation of regional innovative programs and initiatives that directly contribute to youth economic empowerment. This may involve providing technical assistance and guidance to projects that demonstrate potential for sustainable economic outcomes for youth.

NL-KVK-41198890-SDN100331 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Plan International Sudan is partaking in the third Sudan Joint Response, in collaboration with the Dutch Relief Alliance funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Plan International Netherlands, World Vision Netherlands and ICCO/Kia have joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance. Plan will respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North Darfur, South Kordofan and Khartoum through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2021 (Jan-Dec). A total of 15,022 affected people across the states of North Darfur, South Kordofan and Khartoum will benefit from activities providing multi-sectoral assistance in the Protection and Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL) sectors. The project targets the most vulnerable and conflict affected people including (refugees, host, IDP) women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities. Prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sudanese economy was suffering from multiple macroeconomic issues (trade and fiscal deficits, mass poverty, high inflation, high levels of inequality etc.) and has seen a large GDP reduction since the secession of South Sudan in 2011 due to loss of many oil fields. Also, it is expected that the global pandemic will drastically effect the Sudanese economy (reduced livestock and oil exports and remittances for example) and IMF projects a 7.2% GDP contraction for 2020. Additionally, strict measures have been adopted by the government to counter COVID-19 including a nightly curfew, banning gatherings, and closure of the international airport, markets, schools, and universities. These measures have impacted the livelihoods of people across the country, particularly the poor. The crisis affects women disproportionally, as they are generally the family caregivers, while they also may experience increased risk of gender-based violence at home. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the already fragile local situations, which include economic crisis, conflict, displacement, as well as floods. The project objectives are closely aligned with the Humanitarian Response Plan 2020 (HRP) and contributes to Strategic Objective 1 (Provide timely multi-sectoral life-saving assistance to crisis affected people to reduce mortality and morbidity) and Strategic Objective 3 (Enhance the prevention and mitigation of protection risks and respond to protection needs through quality and principled humanitarian action). Objectives: 1. Save lives of vulnerable people affected by conflict, disaster and protect conflict-affected people from violence, neglect and exploitation. 2. Contribute to community stabilization and resilience by providing high quality protection services including life skills training, parenting, establishment of CBCPNs, and case management in the targeted localities in North Darfur, South Kordofan, and Khartoum. Assist the safe return and re-integration for IDPs, refugees, and returnees into hosting communities through the design and implementation of integrated socio-economic interventions of livelihood assistance. Refugees, host community members, IDPs and returnee populations affected by the protracted crisis in North-Darfur, Khartoum and South Kordofan in Sudan. Focus will be towards the most vulnerable and conflict affected people within the targeted areas (including women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities).

It remains important to emphasize the role of women and youth in peacebuilding. As part of the National Action Plan of the Dutch government to support the implementation of the UN resolution 1325, the consortium consisting of Plan International, AMA, EVE, HealthNet, PAX is implementing the Leaders of Peace Programme. This project is implemented by Plan International in Eastern Equatoria (Pageri administrative area) from January 2021 to December 2025. It aims at a more empowering and inclusive environment for women and girls to feel safer and better enabled to assert their rights, so they can play an influential role towards conflict prevention and sustainable peace. To achieve this, we enable and support civil society organisations with the capacity, resources and legitimacy to influence government and societal actors. The programme also mobilizes key decision-makers to work towards inclusive laws, policies, norms and practices. 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. Therefore, it is time to re-emphasize the important role of (young) women in peacebuilding in South Sudan. The voices of young people, girls and boys, need to be heard in these dialogues and reconciliation processes – especially those at the heart of conflict. It remains crucial that the positive contribution of women and youth to sustainable peace and state building is recognized, supported and celebrated. In this prospect, a multi-sectoral and multi-level approach is required, which will lead to improved implementation of policies and regulations on GBV and protection of W/G including psychosocial support and self-care (Result area 1 of our Theory of Change), changed attitudes and beliefs of civil society to facilitate inclusion of W/G and promote gender equality (Result area 2); and increased and effective participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding (Result area 3). Result Area 1: Improved implementation of policies and regulations on GBV and protection of W/G including psychoso- cial support and self-care. When W/G know their rights, have access to and use MHPSS and legal protection services, while in parallel formal/ traditional authorities will implement laws and policies against GBV as well as protect survivors after being informed on these topics, W/G will be less vulnerable to physical and emotional harm . Result Area 2: Changed attitudes and beliefs of civil society to facilitate inclusion of W/G and promote gender equality. Changing harmful norms and attitudes includes transforming violent masculinities by targeting influential powerholders (men/boys) as allies and positive role models, to jointly advocate with women and youth groups for GE, as well as for equal participation of W/Y groups. Result Area 3: Increased and effective participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding. Increased, influential participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding is possible when W/Y facilitate political positioning and influencing across ethnic/religious/conflict lines, together with male counterparts (as well linked to RA2). The overall strategic objective of the Leaders of Peace programme is, that by the end of 2025, women and girls live in a more empowering and inclusive environment in South Sudan, where they feel safer and better enabled to realise their rights, so they can play an influential role towards conflict prevention and sustainable peace. To achieve this, the alliance will enable civil society organisations with the capacity, resources and legitimacy to influence government, and societal actors in various areas. CSOs are supported and complemented in their advocacy activities by their counterparts and/or the Ministry. At the same time, the programme mobilizes key decision makers to work towards inclusive laws, policies and norms and practices. Through lobby and advocacy of our CSO stakeholders LoP will change duty bearers’ attitude towards gender equality and female participation in decision making and the peace process. The Leaders of Peace Programme builds up on successes of the Women and Girls for Change Programme (WGFC 2016-2020), building on activities related to psychosocial support, peacebuilding and prevention of GBV activities implemented by other actors with a focus on Lobby and Advocacy. Beneficiaries are community members in Pageri administrative area. More specifically, girls and women as well as the community as a whole through a more enabling environment for girls and women that creates a stronger society. Capacity building on PSS and legal protection services of community groups; training case workers in age, gender-appropritae PSS, GBV, legal protection information; Lobby and Advocacy on the importance of legal protection for women and girls (including GBV survivors); provide capacity building to traditional authorities to develop/adjust/implement regulations related to protection of W/G; capacity building on gender equality, protection and W/Gs meaningful participation; awareness raising on gender equality, human rights and UNSCR1325, training on agents of change to key persons/youth in communities; provision of subgranting to female activities/CBOs,CSOs; awareness raising about and provision of responses to COVID-19 Working with local actors like the police and the traditional courts, engaging men and building the capacity of the community of gender equality and UNSCR 1325, including youth, are the core strategies. It will be important to maintain the same key actors during the lenght of the project. Ownership by the local community will be important as well; for that the local context and prevelent social norms have to be taken into consideration.

Plan International is the lead of this VNMJR. The Joint Budget serves for the coordination of Plan International as Joint Response Lead to: 1) Hire a field coordinator to be based in Viet Nam in order to coordinate and monitor implementation on the ground and facilitate collaboration, localization and accountability, as well as support staff including Finance and M&E; 2) Organize at least a kick-off meeting, a mid-term meeting, and a Rapid Realtime Review; 3) Support the external evaluation and Meta audit. The Joint budget is managed by Plan International but subject to agreements within the alliance. The coordinator facilitates regular communication on utilization of the Joint Budget, which can be further defined during the kick-off workshop in-country. Since 6 October 2020, the Central region of Viet Nam has been experiencing prolonged heavy rainfall as a result of a combination of numerous weather systems; Tropical Storm LINFA, Tropical Storm NANGKA, and the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone combined with cold air. Besides the existing flooding and ongoing rainfall, Typhoon Molave hit Viet Nam in the morning of October 28th. Molave made landfall between Quang Ngai and Quang Nam provinces (central Viet Nam) as a typhoon before dissipating on 29 October. According to UNOCHA, landslides triggered by heavy rain in Quang Nam Province resulted in at least 68 fatalities. In total, due to the typhoon and the flooding, more than 374.631 people have been evacuated. Millions were left without electricity and an additional 56,000 houses damaged. According to the UN FRP an estimated 7.7 million people live in areas affected by flooding caused by the multiple storms and typhoon, with some 1.5 million people in nine provinces directly affected. Of those people directly affected by the current disaster, some 753,000 are women and girls, 134,000 are children under five, and 143,000 are over 65 years old. A rapid needs assessment conducted by UNICEF, identified 1,5 million children at risk. The JR proposes a multi-sectoral response to the typhoon and flooding, taking into account immediate relief as well as early recovery in a phased approach, in line with the UN Floods Response Plan which puts forward this phased approach (see UN Sector Analysis). The JR will be implemented in the four provinces among the most affected by the flooding and typhoon Molave, including Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Ha Tinh and Quang Nam. The VNMJR commits itself to 2 of the 4 objectives set out in the Viet Nam Flood HRP: 1. Deliver immediate, lifesaving assistance to those with the most urgent needs, in support of the Government response and in line with Government requests for assistance. 2. Ensure access to multi sectoral assistance and reestablish critical services. Promote the repair of key public service infrastructure in affected provinces, ensure food security, by restoring lost food stock, livestock and livelihoods, ensure access to sustainable drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene supplies, housing, replacement of productive assets and household items, and access to basic medical, social and public services to support the affected population transition to recovery and rebuild their lives and livelihoods. The JR will be implemented by four DRA members, Plan International, CARE, Oxfam Novib and World Vision, in coordination and partnership with local partners in Viet Nam. All four members have an existing humanitarian portfolio in Viet Nam and have been responding to the flooding since the beginning of October. Partners have engaged in a Rapid Needs Assessment jointly in the second half of October, which has informed the JR. All partners have offices and/or local partner offices in the response areas and humanitarian staff in-country, including fully operational Emergency Response Teams. Partners have been responding to the typhoon, mainly during the immediate response phase through the distribution of NFIs, including hygiene kits and household items. All partners have a solid track-record of the sectors, particularly FSL, WASH and Protection, both in humanitarian and development contexts. In-country, partners engage in the Working Groups and UN coordination mechanisms to ensure programming is well-coordinated and in line with sector-wide standards. The target group for the response includes those affected by flooding and heavy rainfall. Priority is given to vulnerable families with pre-existing vulnerabilities before the disaster, taking into account the Minimum Expenditure Basket, and who have suffered human loss, loss of house, assets or livelihoods. The response uses a multi-sector approach with holistic Shelter/NFIs, WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) and Protection programs. Core activities are: Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL): The JR works to ensure people are able to meet their basic food needs (FSC-I2) and are provided with resources to protect and start rebuilding their livelihoods (FSC-I1). This includes the following activities: - Provision of food baskets to the families with vulnerable children and other poor, vulnerable groups such as the elderly, People with Disability (PwD), lactating women; female-headed families. Noting that immediate food needs are met by other partners and the government of Viet Nam, this will be a small component and this JR mainly focuses on medium-term FSL support and cash grants, as described below. - Execution of a livelihoods/market assessment to determine the agricultural needs and the feasibility of cash grants. - Provision of technical training to support livelihood recovery activities. - Provision of conditional cash grants for agricultural support and production inputs for small-holders farms and households to support short crops recovery. Shelter/Non-Food Items (NFI): The JR focuses on individual household shelters and non-food items to ensure people in the direct aftermath of the floods have access to dignified and safe shelter solutions (SHL-I1) and NFIs (SHL-I4), including: - Provision of household kits in response to the destruction of assets in the households, taking into account winterization, ensuring particularly children have warm clothing for when temperatures decrease to less than 15 degrees. - Provision of constructions materials for repair for vulnerable families whose houses have been damaged. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): The JR WASH response focuses onensuring access to safe and sufficient water (WSH-I4), hygiene promotion and provision of soaps (WSH-I1) and hygiene promotion (WSH-I6) through reaching people with awareness programming. This includes the following activities: - Improving access to clean water through water testing, distribution of household-led water treatment solutions and provision of water containers and water taps to people and communities without access to clean water. - Reparation and installment of damaged small-scale water supply facilities. - Distribution of gender-sensitive hygiene kits, including soap and cleaning materials and taking into account Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), particularly for girls and women in evacuation centers. - Organization of information campaigns to promote hygiene measures, also taking into account the risks of COVID-19. Multi-purpose cash (MPC): The JR provides both unconditional (CSH-I1) and conditional (CSH-I2) unrestricted cash assistance to beneficiaries based on their situations and identified needs: - Distribution of unconditional multi-purpose cash grants in line with Viet Nam’s CWG’s Minimum Expenditure Basket guidance, as the markets are mostly functioning, and people have suffered significant loss of livelihoods due to the floods and exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdown. - Provision of conditional cash grants/Cash for Work (C4W) opportunities to selected households. Partners will work with affected populations to identify livelihood opportunities, including basic repair and public work in the early recovery phase. Protection: The JR mainstreams protection throughout the response is in line with HRP objectives, and also ensures specific programming to ensure people receive an appropriate response to protection risks (PRO-I2), are provided with information (PRO-I5) and children receive support specific to their needs (PRO-I15). This includes: - Organization of psychosocial support (PSS) groups and other group activities for affected children in Child-Friendly Spaces inside primary schools. - Awareness-raising and training on Protection issues.

The JR will be implemented from 5.11.2020-4.5.2021 in the four most affected provinces: Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Ha Tinh and Quang Nam. The overarching objective of the JR is to provide 116,324 flood affected people with life-saving goods and services and to promote increased resilience in the aftermath of the crisis. Plan International Vietnam will reach 24,563 beneficiaries in the provinces Quang Binh and Quang Tri. Our primary investment objective is to provide life-saving goods and services to the most affected people, especially children, and to promote increased resilience in the aftermath of the crisis. With short-term livelihood support we will reach the population in Quang Binh and Quang Tri, including girls and boys. Communication for vulnerable groups on the prevention of protection risks (including child protection) to 4,600 households will enhance resilience in the aftermath of the crisis. Child-friendly spaces in 23 primary schools will support the establishment of psychosocial counseling rooms with child friendly material and equipments to provide psychosocial Support and group activities for child-wellbeing. This is important to decrease psychological distress, improve girls' and boys' well-being and their emotional resilience, and refer medium to high risk cases to case management and other service providers to address urgent needs. Through the provision of cash grants and cash for work for livelihood activities 1863 individuals and their families will be able to meet their most urgent needs and lessen the economic burden of families. This is a new project, building on activities related to psychosocial support, life-saving goods provision and CVA in emergency contexts. The overarching objective of the JR is to provide 116,324 flood affected people, especially children, with life-saving goods (hygiene kits) and (PSS) services and to promote increased resilience in the aftermath of the crisis. Communication for vulnerable groups on prevention of protection risks (including child protection) will benefit 4,600 households targeting 6762 female and 7038 men. 23 Child-friendly Spaces in primary schools will provide PSS services to 2029 girls and 2111 boys. The provision of cash grants and cash for work for livelihood activities will target 621 households (with 75% adults), with a total of 1863 individuals (913 female, 950 men). Plan International Vietnam will reach 24,563 beneficiaries in the provinces Quang Binh (Le Thuy and Quang Ning districts) and Quang Tri (Huong Hoa and Dakrong districts) with activities in the following sectors: Food Security and Livelihoods (2,300), Multi-Purpose Cash (1,863), Protection (20,400) and Accountability (460). The joint response commits itself to 2 of the 4 objectives set out in the Viet Nam Flood HRP, namely: 1. Deliver immediate, life-saving assistance to those with the most urgent needs, in support of the Government response and in line with Government requests for assistance. 2. Ensure access to multi sectoral assistance and re-establish critical services. Promote the repair of key public service infrastructure in affected provinces, ensure food security, by restoring lost food stock, livestock and livelihoods, ensure access to sustainable drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene supplies, housing, replacement of productive assets and household items, and access to basic medical, social and public services to support the affected population transition to recovery and rebuild their lives and livelihoods. Plan will implement the programme in Quang Tri and Quang Binh fully through local partners, providing technical and management support where needed and to ensure oversight. Plan International has a track record working in partnership with Commune People Committees (CPC) which coordinate closely with health sectors and schools, among others, on the implementation of project activities. In addition, particularly to ensure the strengthening of CFSs and in order to mainstream CP within the response, Plan International works with the Provincial Department of Education in Quang Binh and Quang Tri. For the FSL and MPCA activities, including cash-for-work and early recovery of agricultural lands, technical training, etc, Plan International works with the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in both provinces. In addition, Plan International and CARE will both work closely with the Viet Nam Women’s Union, though only Plan International will hold a direct grant relationship to enhance efficiency. However, CARE, Plan and the VWU will collaborate to align programmatic approaches in the different localities. FSL: In terms of FSL Plan will undertake the following activities: Livestock vaccination and deworming/ Fast growing seeds and seedlings, fertilizer/ Rapid needs market study to assess market functionality and availability of goods/ Training on alternative agriculture / livestock raising/ Household livelihood support for poultry for 575 households (with 4 family members). Protection: With regards to Protection life-saving hygiene kits will be provided: 4,600 HHs x 4 members. Communication for vulnerable groups on prevention of protection risks (including child protection) will be provided to 4,600 households (through information material provided with hygiene kits). In addition Child-friendly spaces in 23 primary schools supporting the establishment of psychosocial counseling room with child friendly material and equipment will be set up; Psychosocial Support and group activities for child-wellbeing in 23 Child-friendly Spaces in primary schools (with 180 children per CFS) will be established. MPC: Plan will provide cash grants and cash for work for livelihood activities/for livelihood activities to 621 households (with 75% adults) Localization: 23% of the budget will be managed by local partners in the different 23 communes. Around EUR 10,500 is set for the training costs. This is derived mainly from project staff time considering Corona measures limit face to face facilitation. Plan will provide training to the Project Management boards of each commune, with 23 communes total and 10 members per Project Management board (230 persons reached) Accountability: A total of 460 community volunteers, members of the commune people committees and community leaders will be involved in consultations at the project preparation phase and throughout the project at different monitoring moments in the project cycle in the 23 communes. Ownership by the local community will be important for that the local contexct and prevelent social norms have to be taken into consideration. This is facilitated through the engagement of community volunteers, members of the commune people committees and community leaders in consultations at the project preparation phase and throughout the project. Trainings on alternative agriculture will enable the local farmers to increase resilience and preparedness. Since October 6, several provinces of Vietnam have experienced various weather disturbances that have caused severe and widespread flooding and landslides. As a result of consecutive storms, widespread flooding and landslides have been reported in the provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, and Binh Dinh. As of October 25, VNDMA has recorded 148 casualties, with 10 people still missing. 272,992 houses have been flooded or damaged. Close to 9,289 hectare of agriculture products have been flooded, close to 935 thousand of poultries and livestock have been killed or swept-away and 362 school-sited affected. Quang Binh and Quang Tri provinces where Plan has long term presences are 2 out of 5 most affected provinces. In Quang Tri province, the local authority recorded 49 deaths with 5 still missing, nearly 192 thousand houses has been flooded and 500 thousand of poultries and livestock killed or swept-away.

Women and girls, particularly those in vulnerable groups, face significant risks of violence—including physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, as well as exploitation, trafficking, neglect, child marriage, and online GBV. To tackle this issue, Plan International works together with KAPAL Perempuan to end GBV and build safer, more inclusive communities. The project specifically empowers civil society organisations (CSOs), as key actors in the advancement of gender equality, to address specific issues in GBV prevention and response. We further strengthen multi-sector collaboration and advocacy efforts to enhance development, implementation and monitoring of gender-transformative policies addressing GBV. And inclusive campaigns for GBV awareness are conducted, as well as community engagement led by girls and women, jointly conducted by CSOs and youth groups. The project started in November 2025. Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a serious and pervasive issue in Indonesia. GBV is perpetuated by harmful stereotypes, victim-blaming, and entrenched socio-cultural attitudes. Data from KPPPA’s SIMFONI system shows that women and girls, particularly those in vulnerable groups, face significant risks of violence—including physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, as well as exploitation, trafficking, neglect, child marriage, and online GBV. Girls aged 13 to 17 experience the highest rates of violence. Child marriage alone has profound social and economic consequences: it increases school dropout rates, raises maternal and infant mortality, and contributes to child stunting. Online GBV has surged in recent years, making up 66% of reported cases in 2023, while exposure to pornography and low digital literacy further reinforce toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. GBV is prevalent in educational settings, including religious schools. Although there are legal frameworks in place, the recurrence of GBV cases is driven by persistent socio-cultural tolerance, weak law enforcement, economic disparities, and systemic corruption. Post-disaster displacement and inadequate humanitarian responses heighten the risk of GBV in affected areas. The action applies a gender-transformative approach to strengthen the capacity and enabling environment for CSOs in advancing women’s and girls’ agency and building effective, inclusive, and community-rooted prevention and response mechanisms against GBV. This transformation is achieved through three mutually reinforcing outputs: Output 1 (CSO capacity building/rights holders– accommodative to responsive stage): 50 CSOs are strengthened in capacity and organizational sustainability. This output assumes that civil society actors have a basic organizational foundation, that civic space remains open, and that community members recognize CSOs as legitimate actors. Gender Power Mapping and Analysis enables CSOs to identify local power structures and plan redistributive and norm‑shifting strategies, resulting in inclusive, survivor‑centred GBV services for underserved groups. Output 2 (policy environment/duty bearers – redistributive stage): Strengthened CSOs will then engage wider stakeholders through multi-actor collaboration and advocacy at subnational level for GBV policy development, implementation, and monitoring. Evidence and local voices are elevated through CSO networks and media engagement, shifting decision‑making power toward women and girls. This output relies on the assumption that local and national authorities are open to civil society collaboration, and that existing coordination mechanisms can be strengthened rather than resisted. Output 3 (campaigns/community engagement – transformative stage): Community‑led campaigns, led by women and youth and engaging men, religious and customary leaders, challenge GBV myths and stigma and promote inclusive gender norms. This output assumes that media space is accessible and open, that campaign messages are context-sensitive, and that communities— including men and religious and customary groups—are willing to engage. Together, these outputs enable CSOs to act as credible change agents. The fight against GBV in Indonesia has been a decades-long effort, driven by CSOs, women’s rights organizations, and activists. This culminated in the Sexual Violence Crime Law (UU TPKS) of April. With the law now passed, attention turns to implementation and continued efforts are necessary to fully combat GBV. Yet implementation lags: several UU TPKS regulations remain pending, no roadmap for elimination of sexual violence exists, and many law‑enforcement officers still rely on outdated Criminal Code provisions. The proposed Action builds on the collective experience and proven successes of Plan and KAPAL. Plan and KAPAL have experience in advocating for the Law on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) and were actively involved in the judicial review of the Marriage Law, particularly in efforts to raise the minimum age of marriage for girls. In West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Plan played a key role in the development of a Regional Regulation (Perda) on the Prevention of Child Marriage and is actively involved as part of the Task Force on the Protection of Women and Children (PPA). Plan Indonesia’s peer educator model has enabled youth to lead advocacy and policy engagement, including the Sahabat Pengadilan initiative in NTB, where young people support children resisting early marriage. At the community level, Plan supports CBCPMs, child forums, and schools to prevent child marriage and GBV. During the past 10 years, Plan has provided capacity building for more than 24 CSOs and 25 CBOs across 6 provinces. KAPAL Perempuan complements this approach through its grassroots and policy-level work. It has led campaigns to raise the legal marriage age and pioneered Gender Watch, a community-based GBV monitoring tool. Its Complaint Posts and online counseling services offer vital support for GBV survivors. Through its PPHAM program, KAPAL nurtures women human rights defenders (WHRDs) now leading GBV prevention and survivor support in Sulawesi, NTB, and North Sulawesi.KAPAL’s Sekolah Perempuan has empowered Indigenous and marginalized women to influence decisionmaking, including contributing to Munas Perempuan, which helped shape the RPJPN 2025–2045 with policy proposals from all 34 provinces. 3,085,060 people benefitting from policy advocacy results in 7 target provinces (10% of the population in the 7 target provinces) Around 5-10 million people reached through online campaign Activity 1.1: Comprehensive capacity building gender transformative programming, social analysis, advocacy, and community development targeting 50 CSOs Activity 1.2. Facilitate CSOs for organizational planning, compliance, and management capacity Activity 1.3. Develop fundraising and sustainability plan of CSOs Activity 1.4.

National consolidation to relevant ministries by CSOs network to present project findings and recommendation Activity 3.1. Conduct set of creative campaign / awareness raising activities at community level and social media featuring youth-focused cultural approaches, extracurricular activities (e.g., engaging boys and girls through sports), and digital platforms Activity 3.2 Engage with religious/customary leaders to produce specific campaign material for GBV prevention (podcast, keynote speaker in workshop/seminar) Activity 3.3. Disseminate best practices and project results at subnational/national level to wider public F: The action strengthens sustainable, survivor‑centred GBV prevention and response by combining public funding advocacy, flexible response financing, and improved CSO financial capacity. It advocates for the inclusion of GBV budgets and action plans in annual local government budgets, with clear targets and quarterly reviews to ensure consistent, context‑responsive funding that meets the needs of vulnerable groups. In parallel, the action establishes a collaboratively managed GBV response fund to enable rapid, unplanned support for survivors, such as safe spaces, health, legal, and protection services. Drawing on Plan and Kapal Perempuan’s proven grant management experience, the fund will be replenished through government, CSR, and community contributions, with transparent reporting. To ensure long‑term sustainability, local CSOs will receive capacity building in financial planning, grant management, and revenue diversification, supported through consortium models that provide shared compliance and governance services. This strengthens CSOs’ credibility and ability to partner with donors, particularly youth‑ and girl‑led organizations. I: The action strengthens institutional sustainability by formally embedding local CSOs within government GBV prevention and response systems. Through Memoranda of Understanding with local authorities, CSOs’ roles in prevention, case management, and capacity building are clearly defined, reviewed annually, and supported by designated government liaison officers, ensuring long‑term ownership and integration into local agendas. Local CSOs are connected to national and thematic GBV networks and centers of excellence to promote knowledge exchange, joint initiatives, shared resources, and data‑driven monitoring. In addition, GBV prevention and response modules are institutionalized within in‑service training curricula for government staff, law enforcement, and community leaders, with regular refresher courses. This ensures sustained competencies, continuity despite staff turnover, and the normalization of GBV response as part of standard institutional practice. E: To promote green practices in GBV governance, particularly in raising awareness and disseminating regulations, while also addressing funding limitations for delivering information and guidelines to the community and vulnerable groups and public awareness to reduce reliance on physical materials, the initiative will facilitate local CSOs to develop online dashboards and websites. The Action will also develop online modules and other tools to facilitate communication and collaborate with relevant local government units to ensure ownership of these digital systems beyond the project period. By reducing the action’s carbon footprint, digital engagement will be continuously evaluated for effectiveness, with adjustments made based on regular user feedback and technological advancements. GBV escalates in areas prone to climate and disaster risk, especially during emergencies when violence against women, children, and minority groups surges. The action will thus invite climate and humanitarian stakeholders into our GBV policy dialogue. They will share how environmental shocks and crises heighten risks for vulnerable women and girls, and propose collaborative interventions (for example, Plan is leading in Protection, Gender, and Inclusion in Anticipatory Action with pilot in flood-prone areas). Working in cross-sector dialogue will build connections and intention for cooperation. Those relationships will continue beyond project period with the leadership encourage (co-owned by) GBV and environment/humanitarian actors—that meets regularly beyond the project’s end. This group will continue exchanging updates and learning to ensure the climate–GBV dialogue remains alive. S: The Action promotes collaboration between different actors who have a role to play in GBV response and prevention. Regular dialogue between rights holders and duty bearers in both formal and informal settings will reach less-heard voices. Sharing and linking between civil society, public and private sector actors will become normalized, strengthening the social bonds needed to prevent and respond to GBV. By supporting girls and young women to lead on inclusive campaigns the Action empowers them to claim their rights, increasing their resilience and community engagement. By engaging duty bearers in the implementation, and monitoring of gendertransformative policies addressing GBV, the Action contributes to enhancing their awareness and duty towards their constituents. By adopting a gender-transformative approach, this Action also aims to contribute to long-term social change that increases girls’/women’s agency and engages men and boys as agents of change.

The partners joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2019-2021. Based on the persisting high needs in Sudan, the DRA has decided to continue to provide life-saving assistance in 2022 and 2023. The humanitarian situation in Sudan is driven by an economic crisis, localized conflict, protracted internal displacement, climate shocks, cyclical disease outbreaks, and pressure from hosting more than 1M refugees and asylum seekers. Furthermore, the economic crisis, including inflation (412.75% per 2021) resulted in record-high numbers of food-insecure people. According to the HNO 2021 report, the number of people in need in Sudan in 2021 is the highest reported in the past decade, with a total 13.4M people requiring life-sustaining support to meet minimum living standards. The C-19 measures significantly affected commodity movement, market functionality and cross-border trade and compromised livelihoods and daily labour opportunities. This reduced households’ purchasing power and access to basic commodities. According to the HRP 2021, the Health sector has the highest number of people in need – 9.2M, followed by WASH – 9M, and the FSL sector – 8.2M people in need and Education 2.1M children in need. Whilst, Protection needs are most severe in localities of Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile, and increasing in parts of eastern Sudan. The SDNJR4 will align its program with the 2023 HRP Strategic Outcomes (1-3) as well as the Sudan COVID-19 Country Preparedness and Response Plan (4). The objectives will be adjusted when the 2022/2023 HRP will become available. 1. Provide timely multi-sectoral life-saving assistance to crisis affected people to reduce mortality and morbidity. 2. Improve vulnerable people’s access to livelihoods and life-sustaining basic services. 3. Mitigate protection risks and respond to protection needs through humanitarian action. 4. Prevent and contain the spread of COVID-19 and minimize mortality and morbidity. Complementary multi-sector assistance, resilience building and protection mainstreaming will remain at the core of the SDNJR4 programming as has been the case during Sudan Joint Response 1-3. The overall objective on the SDNJR4 is formulated as following: The Sudan Joint Response 4 aims to address the needs in 2022 and 2023 by providing affected people with multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most at risk and conflict affected people in targeted areas in Khartoum, North- Darfur, East Darfur, South Kordofan, White Nile and Gedaref. The primary target groups of the project are displaced communities in and out of camps, returnees, and host communities in North Darfur, South Kordofan, Gedaref, East Darfur and Khartoum. The program participants include children, adolescents, youth, men, and women from households below the poverty line or households that included persons with disabilities (PWD).

This is a 6 month slow onset Acute Joint Response, starting from 14 May 2021, funded by MFA through the Dutch Relief Alliance with a budget of €3.000.000, proposing a multi-sector approach with holistic Shelter/NFIs, WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), and Protection programs. The JR will be implemented in Cabo Delgado (Mozambique), being the province with the highest needs and will prioritise the following districts: Mecufi, Chiure, Metuge, Montepuez, and Ancuabe. The overarching objective of the JR is to provide 101,185 affected people with life-saving and life-sustaining goods and services committing itself to 3 strategic objectives set out in the Mozambique HRP 2021: to safe lives, to sustain lives, protection. Since October 2017, NSAGs have severely disrupted the lives of thousands of people in Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique. Multiple towns and villages were attacked throughout the last four years, in which people were brutally killed and their houses left looted or burned. Following the escalation of the conflict in 2020, displacement has surged rapidly. While the number of IDPs was still 110,000 in March 2020, in the same year at least 527,000 people were being displaced in October (45% children). From October 2020 onwards, the violence in Cabo Delgado intensified, resulting in the displacement of 670,000 people by the end of 2020. 70% of the internally displaced people has found refuge with host families in Cabo Delgado, Niassa and Nampula provinces. The remaining 30% reside in settlements and collective shelters or are still searching for a place to shelter. The conflict has disrupted agricultural activity and livelihoods, protection risks for the most vulnerable people have risen and the situation is compounded by tropical storms Chalane and Eloise, which hit three provinces at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021. 1.3 million people are now in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. To holistically support the most vulnerable and at-risk children, Plan will provide a comprehensive CPiE intervention targeting 5,000 children (2400 boys, 2600 girls), adhering to SPHERE and CP minimum standards by amongst others: -Establishment of community-based CP mechanisms in 5 resettlement sites hosting IDPs: 5 Child Protection Committees and 175 community members. This includes training on CP issues as identified by community members or via protection monitoring, Child Safeguarding &PSEA, and provision of IEC material. -Capacity strengthening of formal CP system: District Services of Health Woman and Social Action, Assistance office of Family and minor victims of domestic violence and district attorney office. -Identification, documentation and case management of 60 UASCs with family-based alternative care & FTR referral. -Safe, inclusive, age and gender sensitive daily activities to 400 children in 5 CFS, with structured and free play, life skills sessions for at risk adolescents, and parenting programs. PSS will be provided as a community-based approach and CFSs will be established in collaboration with the government, community leaders and other partners (CARE) in Chiure. -MHM support to 1000 vulnerable adolescent girls Plan has been responding to the crisis in Nampula since July 2020, with a dedicated humanitarian response team. In Cabo Delgado, Plan has an established satellite office focusing on Protection, WASH, EiE & FSL response. Protection activities will draw on resources and expertise from across Mozambique and broader Plan federation. CPiE activities will start immediately by conducting a rapid gender analysis, assessing the needs, risks and existing resources. Training of key community members, local authority representatives and DRA members will start within a month. Distribution of MHM items will take place following one month lead time for procurement. Plan will leverage existing partnerships with producers for quick and efficient delivery of kits and CFS equipment. Capacity building, awareness-raising, and coordination will be ongoing from month 1 with CFS, PSS & case management activities in place by month 2 to allow time to train community volunteers, procure equipment and outreach. Plan will provide CPiE for 5,000 children (2400 boys, 2600 girls). Among the IDPs Plan will focus particularly on girls & boys at high risk, UASC, adolescent girls & children with disabilities. There haven’t been reports of tensions between IDPs and host communities. However, to ensure a conflict-sensitive approach, Plan targets both IDPs (75%) and host communities (25%). To holistically support the most vulnerable and at-risk children, Plan will provide a comprehensive CPiE intervention targeting 5,000 children (2400 boys, 2600 girls), adhering to SPHERE and CP minimum standards by: -Establishment of community-based CP mechanisms in 5 resettlement sites, hosting IDPs: 5 Child Protection Committees and 175 community members (10 CFS facilitators, 25 Case workers, 50 PSS animators, foster families, 20 teachers, 10 community leaders and 3 Child Clubs). This includes training on CP issues as identified by community members or via protection monitoring, Child Safeguarding &PSEA, and provision of IEC material. -Capacity strengthening of formal CP system: District Services of Health Woman and Social Action, Assistance office of Family and minor victims of domestic violence and district attorney office. -Identification, documentation and case management of 60 UASCs, with family-based alternative care & FTR referral. -Establishing CP referral systems in 5 communities. -Safe, inclusive, age and gender sensitive daily activities to 400 children in 5 CFS, with structured and free play, life skills sessions for at risk adolescents, and parenting programs. PSS will be provided as a community-based approach and CFSs will be established in collaboration with the government, community leaders and other partners (CARE) in Chiure. -PFA and focused PSS and referral to specialized MHPSS -Information on (child) protection, helplines and multi-sectoral assistance at 5 protection helpdesks and the 5 CFS. -MHM support to 1000 vulnerable adolescent girls CARE and Plan will jointly address protection issues with CARE focusing on GBV while Plan address CPiE. Considering the sensitivity of protection activities, the limited background and capacity of local NGOs on protection interventions, and the importance of ensuring the respect of humanitarian principles, Do No Harm, confidentiality and data protection, for now, Plan will ensure direct implementation of CPiE activities. Plan will work through its office in Chiure, ensuring a rapid response, and receiving extra support through the Pemba office. The delivery model is based on service provision and in-kind support, drawing from Plan’s experience in CD since 2020. To enhance acceptability and sustainability of the intervention, Plan will closely coordinate with Provincial and district government and particularly with the CP District Reference Group in monitoring, supervision and strengthening of staff capacity and CP systems. The project will also work through community CP structures to ensure wider impact, scale, and sustainability: hereby enabling a participatory community-based approach. Among the IDPs Plan will focus particularly on girls and boys at high risk, UASC, adolescent girls and children with disabilities, striving to address the following key barriers: Physical & infrastructural Safe and accessible CFSs. Protection Conducting child-centred risk mapping and ensuring Meaningful Child Participation. Social & gender Addressing discrimination due to gender, IDP status, disability and age through community sensitization.

The health system is under pressure and critical supplies are missing. Lack of communication and misinformation about vaccination prevent especially the most vulnerable people from getting vaccinated. The objective of this project is to provide COVID-19 related emergency medical assistance to public health facilities and to support vaccination. We will do this by raising awareness and improving access to drinking water and sanitation in vaccination centers. We will also support coordination, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation of the national vaccination campaign. The project started on June 1 2021 and will last for 12 months in 3 locations: Bagmati province, Lumbini Province and Province 1. It is funded by the Dutch Giro555 National Campaign to support vaccination against COVID-19. Plan International Nepal partners with 3 local NGOs: HANDS, TWUC and CSDC. After several months of relatively low daily cases in Nepal, COVID-19 began to rapidly spike in mid-April. Nepal found itself among the countries with the highest daily number of cases, over 45% of COVID-19 RT-PCR tests coming back positive and 3 variants of concerns - Alfa, Delta and Kappa. Critical shortages in medical supplies as well as in skilled human resources are reported across the country. Most of the country was in complete or partial lockdown, which impacts especially the most vulnerable, who are struggling to recover after the dramatic economic and development setbacks they faced as a result of extended lockdowns in 2020. Vulnerable groups, including women, children, youth, persons with disabilities, those with compounded care burdens, socially excluded groups, indigenous peoples, refugees, displaced persons and migrants, are left with limited or no coping strategies. The Government of Nepal is leading the response to the outbreak in Nepal, including leading a national COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the country. However, the crisis has given rise to an “infodemic” of misinformation and rumours on COVID-19, including on vaccination. Certain groups continue to face marginalization and discriminatory practices. The medical supplies will support the selected health facilities to tackle current pandemic and save lives. The medical items provided are recommended by the Ministry of Health and Population The project will raise awareness and inform people about the importance of vaccination and debunk myths related to vaccines. The messaging will be carried out through social media, news portals, radio and television to have a wide reach, but also by Female Community Health volunteers who will go door to door in the different locations, as well as by WASH champions and other youth volunteers during community events to reach the most vulnerable and hard to reach persons. In order to avoid transmission in vaccination centres and promote safe vaccination, vaccinations centres will be supported to ensure safety protocols are fully followed and environmental sanitation is maintained. This will be achieved by improving WASH facilities and waste management and providing safe drinking water. Last to support quality roll out of the national vaccination campaign, the project will support coordination between stakeholders, capacity building of health workers as well as monitoring, evaluation and learning. The project will be implemented in 2 locations where the WASH SDG project is ongoing in Nepal (NPL100403 ). Project will engage the youth volunteers "WASH champions " identified and capacitated under the WASH SDG project for awareness on COVID-19 prevention and vaccination. Additionally, previously created SBCC materials can be distributed by the FCHVs in the proposed project and there will be an alignment in content between SBCC sessions of the WASH SDG project and the mass awareness raising done in the communities. Same implementing partners of the WASH SDG project will be mobilised : CDSC and Hands Nepal, there will be also close coordination and collaboration with the staff and other local partners of the WASH SDG project, as well as in the communication and engagement of the stakeholders, local authorities, community members, etc. There will also be coordination with the other SHO members active in Nepal for this National Action. All girls, boys, women and men living in 16 selected municipalities, as well as the Nepalese population reached by radio, TV, online and/or social media. Focus is on women and youth as beneficiaries and as agents of change. Staff and beneficiaries of selected health and vaccination centres, as well as national, provincial, district and rural authorities involved in the vaccination program. 16 health facilities and district hospital will be supported with COVID related emergency medical assistance and PPE Kits 7 static social media posts, 2 GIF’s videos display frame, 1 profile picture frames, celebrity video bytes will be designed and 2 panel discussions on the importance of Vaccination will be organised. 10 more awareness raising message videos from Plan International Nepal’s Champions of Change and Girls out Loud campaigns on young people’s access to vaccination. Animated video with sign language will be developed for TV and social media platforms. 1 Radio PSA will be developed and disseminated through 3 selected Radio Stations 3 times a day for 10 months with focus on local language Internet Vaccination awareness raising messages will be developed and posted on 3 online portals for four times throughout the project period. 1 animation video along with sign language will be designed and shown on 2 National Television for 8-9 times during 1 week each. 3 TV talk shows will be organised on national television regarding vaccination focused on children. 1400 Female Community health Volunteers (FCHVs) and 200 youth volunteers will be recruited /selected, trained on vaccination campaigning and provided with communication materials as well as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . FCHVs' will conduct door to door visits in their respective community to raise awareness on vaccination and follow-up while youth volunteers will be engaged in 12 events for youth-led awareness raising on vaccination 48 Vaccination centres will be supported with environment sanitation and waste management kits as well as with drinking water filters, water filtration unit and chlorine tablets for drinking water 16 preparatory meetings at rural/municipality level to support roll-out of the national vaccination plan 23 coordination meetings on the roll -out of the vaccination plan will be organised at national, provincial, district and local level. 48 monitoring visits of higher officials from district and municipal level will be supported 38 post vaccination review meetings on vaccination progress and way forward at district and rural/municipal leve 270 health workers and community health workers will be trained on follow up of people to complete the vaccination This is an emergency response project designed to answer to a rapid onset crisis, we are not seeking to sustain project or activities. However for a long lasting impact, we focus on capacity building of selected community members, broad and various awareness raising initiatives, support existing facilities (health centers) and support local authorities to take leadership and keep ownership on the national repsonse. Moreover, coordination, collaboration and interconnection with the WASH SDG project will ensure efficient use of resources and follow-up after the project.

This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Netherlands’ Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. The prevention of CEFMU and TP is more urgent than ever, as the COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live, resulting in increasing levels of gender based violence, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of child marriage and teenage pregnancies.. This crisis has further excluded adolescent girls and boys in remote areas from accessing ASRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential ASRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as Female Genital Mutilation/ Cutting (FGM/C) and CEFMU, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in Burkina Faso where CEFMU incidence is already high. Because poverty is a key driver of child marriage, these economic impacts are likely to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. At the same time, many girls have dropped out from school and are likely never to return, leaving them with few options other than CEFMU and TP. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CM/TP and FGM/C. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CM to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy or other reasons. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, including community leaders, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting civil society organisations to organise, participate and communicate enables these to claim better education and access to quality ASRHR for girls, boys and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy by civil society. Decision-makers at localm national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency The programme intervention is a.o. based upon the learnings and results of the Yes I Do programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan and partners in five of the nine BF! countries, enriched with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on access to education and ASRHR. All BF! partners have experience in improving legislation and policies to prevent CEFMU and improve ASRHR and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights and access to quality education. In the past, similar efforts resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, which served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society advocacy tool across the SADC region. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. However, CSOs advocating for GYW rights and ASRHR particularly face an increasingly hostile environment fuelled by authoritarian governments, traditional/religious systems and fundamentalist forces, depicting ASRHR and gender equality as threatening traditional and family values. In the Sahel focus countries including Burkina Faso, conflict affects freedom of movement and drives authorities to further confine civic space. Deeply rooted gender norms combined with authoritarian governments limit the space for CSOs to claim SRH rights. By establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision makers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency, political will increases and civil society has the capacity to advocate for improved ASRHR and access to education related policies, laws and resourcing resulting in prevention of CEFMU and TP. Within the population of girls and young women (between 10 and 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion and who are vulnerable to CEFMU and teenage pregnancy and actively engage adolescent and young boys and men for this. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • GYW from sexual minority groups Break Free! contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: 1. Strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. 2. Support social movements: social movements can accelerate lasting change in societies’ structures and norms. Break Free! will bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. 3. Engaging boys & men, parents, and traditional and religious leaders: these actors are crucial allies to ensure structural change and permanent effects when it comes to norms change. Because of their status and their role in socialisation processes, these actors promote structural change in societies. 4. Engaging media: BreakFree! will use media as a tool to amplify GYWs voices, and will target media as a powerful agent of change. Opening space for GYW’s voices and leadership in the media will ultimately influence broader communities, and has lasting effects beyond the programme. 5. Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond Break Free!. 6. Linking local, national, regional and global: BreakFree! is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

For the first year the Break Free regional team has focused on support to BF country networks and individual youth representatives from the different country networks, to involve them in regional advocacy spaces. For example during the African Girls Summit in Niger the regional team has supported in the technical CSO working group, organised a pre-summit including prepratory meetings with the Break Free country networks and youth from the different countries. Working together with youth-led CSOs and youth-led groups, lobbying and advocacy capacities will be strengthened and leveraged through activities such as funding spaces where YP can hold governments and regional bodies accountable and to promote a strategy for the inclusion of young people in AU engagement mechanisms.

O2-6 Number of self-driven advocacy initiatives by CSOs (including CSOs/youth led CSOs including girls and young women) that respond to adolescents' SRHR and education needs The Break Free regional programme will support and follow different processes at AU and REC level. There is no statistical data available on the number of policy/decision-making processes with improved participation of CSOs in political decision-making on adolescents’ SRHR and education needs at international level. But there are various channels for CSOs to engage in policy and decision-making processes at regional level, for example sharing research reports, providing CSO reports in accountability processes, participating in AU meetings and through AU special mandate holders and departments as the AU Women and Gender Directorate exist. The accountability process is important. From the baseline report: “In general, where CSOs engage directly with a human rights organ, it is more effective as it leads to better national government response. Furthermore, where CSOs come together, combine efforts, conduct media advocacy and use social champions, the advocacy initiatives are often more effective.” There are various channels for CSOs to engage in policy and decision-making processes at regional level. CSOs can provide a CSO shadow report to government’s report to the AU. Secondly, they can request the AU to conduct a fact-finding mission and hence engage government to address the issues. Thirdly, influencing of special mandate holders and bodies such as the AU Centre for Women and Girls, the AU Youth Envoy and the AU Women and Gender Directorate. Fourthly, the regional Economic Commissions such as SADC and ECOWAS ( Gender Directorate). Finally, there are topic related networks and movements that CSOs can be involved in, for example on menstrual health and SRH. The regional Programme collaborated with AU organs like Gender Is My Agenda Campaign (GIMAC), Ending Child Marriage Campaign, RECs and ACERWC. At the AU level the regional programme supported participation of GYW in Pre-GIMAC summits organized twice in a year.

The project will be implemented in Navotas and Manila, targeting displaced workers who lost their jobs to the pandemic. It will also respond to the needs of micro entrepreneurs and or self-employed who were forced to close their businesses/services because of the pandemic. The project started in September 2021 and aims to reach 2,000 youth (50% women) and equip with market driven skills and to facilitate 650 youth pursue wage employment or start their own businesses.

NL-KVK-41198890-MMR100222 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY While Plan initially aimed to carry out the Acute Joint Response with a Protection and Multipurpose Cash component in another area of Myanmar, increased restrictions hindered the start of implementation. In August, a change of project location was approved, enabling Plan and local partner KBC to start implementation in Kachin State. Through Multipurpose Cash activities, without a standalone Protection component but with Protection mainstreamed throughout its approach, Plan and KBC aim to reach a total of 8,267 IDPs in four townships affected by conflict and recent floods. Communities in Kachin State have been affected by armed conflict since 2011, causing a large number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP). Many IDP camps are located in Myitkyina, Waingmaw, Mogaung and Mohnyin townships. While there were initial plans for resettlement of IDPs, these plans were put on hold because of COVID and the new Government that came to power afterwards. Armed conflict resumed from late 2021 onwards, increasing the number of IDPs in the respected area. The situation of these IDPs due to the protracted conflict was exacerbated by the floods that recently took place, namely at the end of June 2024. The flooding has caused a surge in the prices of food and other essentials. This has made it challenging for the affected population to access basic supplies, including food resources to prepare meals. The flooding has also affected the livelihoods of many people, especially farmers in the camps and villages, and most cattle, livestock and farming activities are affected. The most vulnerable communities, especially women, child-headed households and casual labourers, are facing difficulties such as lower income, no availability of farming equipment and the death of cattle in the affected areas. By the provision of cash, KBC and Plan aim to meet the acute and multisectoral needs identified in the four townships that will be targeted. Recipients will be supported to access necessary food commodities. Protection elements will be mainstreamed throughout this assistance, aiming to ensure a Do No Harm approach and aiming to meet some of the specific needs of children and adolescents, especially those who face protection risks exacerbated by household financial vulnerability. With support from the START fund, Plan and KBC responded to the flood that took place at the end of June, jointly providing cash assistance to reach vulnerable households in the affected areas. This project ended in August, and with limited resources only a selected number of households received cash assistance. Through this Acute Joint Response, Plan and KBC are able to extend this support to more vulnerable and new IDPs. In line with the CHS and the Alliance for CPHA CP-FSL integration guidance, strong protection mainstreaming will also be put in place through protection helpdesks, safeguarding/PSEA trainings and awareness raising on key protection issues. Protracted and new IDPs displaced through armed conflict and recent floods, prioritising: - Children and adolescents - Women (specifically pregnant and lactating women) - People with disabilities - Child/women-headed households KBC and Plan will conduct door-to-door verifications and community consultations before distributing cash to 1,768 of the most vulnerable households, providing them with a one-time assistance of 320,000 MMK. Safety measures will be in place and the distribution will be followed by Post-Distribution Monitoring. This multipurpose cash round is complemented by a targeted cash-for-food response, providing two rounds of 43,000 MMK for the most vulnerable household members such as young children, pregnant and lactating women and persons with disabilities. Recipients will be supported to access necessary food commodities and to meet the standard of 2100 kcal per person per day. Awareness raising will be done on childhood nutrition simultaneous to the distribution, and it will again be followed by Post-Distribution Monitoring including interviews with specific recipients. The cash element will also include protection mainstreaming activities such as training for staff on safeguarding, PSHEA, child protection and how to identify child protection violations, a safeguarding risk assessment and mitigation planning in consultation with children, women, men and community leaders, awareness raising on safeguarding and PSHEA including expected behaviours from staff and mechanisms to report any incident, Psychological First Aid training for distribution team members, outreach to the most vulnerable groups of cash recipients who have specific challenges and needs in collecting and using cash and protection risks they face, a Protection Help Desk that operates during cash distribution to provide information to recipients (e.g. on nutrition), and monitoring of cash distribution safetiness by protection staff and volunteers using the inter-agency safe distribution checklists adapted to the context and follow up.

In total, 37 people have received training on topics such as safeguarding, PSHEA, the basic principles of child rights, child protection in emergencies, psychological well-being and psychological first aid, CFS management, CVA assistance and finance- and anti-fraud policies. Through these trainings, KBC's staff is equipped with essential knowledge and skills that strengthen their competencies and enable them to effectively implement activities as these. Since these acquired skills can also be put in practice in future work, this capacity-building initiative ensures sustainability and improve KBC's long-term ability to achieve their organisational goals independently. NL-KVK-41198890-DOM100198 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the sexual exploitation of children (SEC) in the Dominican Republic. To strengthen child protection systems and mechanisms, and build back better from the aftermath of Covid-19, the Down to Zero alliance will implement the Building Back Better programme. It is implemented by Plan International and DCI ECPAT and we will work with children and youth, parents and community leaders, actors in the child protection system and businesses. We will push for specialized services for victims and will support children, youth mobilizers and families by raising awareness, improving life skills and increasing economic resilience in the fight against SEC. The programme will help ensure that reporting, referral and coordination happens safely and effectively and that services are gender sensitive. This activity forms part of the Building Back Better (BBB) in times of Covid-19, Fighting SEC on the Rise programme. The programme will work in 12 countries in Latin America and South and South East Asia: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, and the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh and Nepal. The selected countries have particular high risks of SEC as well as compromised capacity of the child protection system. Root causes are lack of livelihood causing poverty, community norms and values with regard to gender and sexual exploitation of children and youth, particularly girls, disrupted family structures, authorities that neglect the issue and weak reporting of cases, increasing tourism and ICT's. They are highly affected by the Covid-19 related trends, with the impact of travel and tourism being an integral part of their context. The programme will also address cross-border SEC such as along the Colombia Peru, Brazil-Bolivia-Peru and India-Nepal-Bangladesh borders. The overall impact of the program is that children and youth are better protected when at risk or victim of sexual exploitation, during and in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. There are 5 outcome areas defined in our Result Framework. 1. Children (in particular victims and those at risk of SEC) are able to access specialized services that protect them, help them rehabilitate, reintegrate and reduce their vulnerability to SEC in the context of Covid-19 2 Children and youth are able to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response in the context of Covid-19 3 Parents, caregivers, and community leaders are strengthened to provide a protective shield around children against SEC, in the context of Covid-19 4 Actors in the Child Protection System are strengthened in multi-stakeholder settings to prevent and advocate for protection from SEC, in the context of Covid-19 5 Intergovernmental bodies at regional and international level, governments and the private sector prioritize SEC within the wider child protection agenda in building back better during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic The intervention strategies range from direct service delivery, to capacity building and lobby & advocacy. The BBB program builds on the DtZ 1 and the VfC program in which youth have been mobilized against SEC, youth structures have been strengthened and other CPS actors, such as families, community leaders and authorities have been mobilized to create safer environments for vulnerable children and youth. Drawing on a system's approach, the activities target multiple stakeholders all part of the Child Protection System, ranging from children and youth themselves, parents, teachers and community leaders, authorities local and national government institutions and the private sector. In the Dominican Republic, Plan programs mostly to strengthen the l&a skills of youth groups to advocate for child and gender sensitive protection services to duty bearers and building capacity authorities part of CONANI, the Council of child protection to improve reporting services and case management. The key target group (and final beneficiaries) of the programme are girls and boys up to 18 years old, who are victims and survivors and those at risk of SEC. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. The CO in Dominican Republic will work in outcome area 2, 4 and 5. In practice this means that the activities in the DR will focus on: Outcome area 2: Children and youth are able to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response in the context of Covid-19: - Formation of a network of adolescents for the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse . 130 adolescents (111 F, 19 M) from the provinces of Azua, San Juan, Elías Piña, Pedernales and Barahona in the southwest region of the country will be identified to be trained as multipliers to work on topics such as: Prevention and reporting of violence online and in person, Leadership, Organisational and multiplication tools, Youth articulation, gender transformative advocacy. At the end of the training process, adolescents will be able to replicate/sensitise among peers and join efforts to integrate them in the prioritised actions to advocate for their protection and participation. In addition, the adolescents will develop municipal and regional advocacy plans, based on their interests and agenda. Sustainability of these groups will be assured since they will be integrated in a regional youth-led organization called Voces Activas del Sur, an organised structure, made up of and led by young people from various provinces in the southwest, supported by Plan. Outcome area 4: Actors in the Child Protection System are strengthened in multi-stakeholder settings to prevent and advocate for protection from SEC, in the context of Covid-19 - Capacity building on prevention and attention of child and adolescent victims of abuse. Two groups in Azua and Pedernales with a total of 52 participants (41 F, 11 M) that will conclude in December 2021. The participants include members of municipal and regional offices of CONANI, Local Child Protection Boards and members of the Municipal Directory from the areas of intervention of the project. - A CAP (knowledge, attitudes and practices) study aimed at actors in the child protection system on prevention, care and response to cases of violence with a focus on inclusion and responsive to gender and age. The results of the CAP will be used to improve training tool for child protection system actors. - Coordination for the development/adaptation of a virtual tool for referral of cases from Local Protection Boards to the local protection system. In which we have shared the experience of Plan Kenia with Wurugumapper (a tool for digitalizing data collection and case management for child protection in Kenya) and also a similar experience in Plan Bolivia using a simple form for case alerts at community level. This capacity building and use of friendly tools will also have an impact on better community coordination with the local boards responsible for referring cases to the protection system at the municipal level. Capacity strengthening: The programme strengthens CPS (at national and community levels) to deliver positive lasting change for children at risk or victims of SEC and their families, beyond the programme’s lifetime. Strengthening the agency of children, parents and community child protection committees will last beyond the programme as well. Policy and practice change: The programme works towards institutional monitoring, referral and coordination mechanisms across stakeholders, e.g. by developing National Action Plans to which partners commit. It further aims for policy change and implementation. Businesses adhering to The Code will do so beyond the duration of the programme. Social change: The programme contributes to dismantling the culture of silence and impunity surrounding SEC and promotes attitude change among communities and stakeholders in support of zero tolerance for SEC. Instilling new social norms around preventing and eradicating SEC, including deeply entrenched taboos around boys and SEC, will create an environment in which children, their families and communities oppose to and stand up against SEC.

This is a 6 month slow onset Acute Joint Response, starting from 14 May 2021, funded by MFA through the Dutch Relief Alliance with a budget of €3.000.000, proposing a multi-sector approach with holistic Shelter/NFIs, WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), and Protection programs. The JR will be implemented in Cabo Delgado (Mozambique), being the province with the highest needs and will prioritise the following districts: Mecufi, Chiure, Metuge, Montepuez, and Ancuabe. The overarching objective of the JR is to provide 101,185 affected people with life-saving and life-sustaining goods and services committing itself to 3 strategic objectives set out in the Mozambique HRP 2021: to safe lives, to sustain lives, protection. Non-state armed groups (NSAG) have severely disrupted the lives of thousands of people in the northern districts of Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique, since October 2017. The group, known in Mozambique as Ansar al-Sunna or Al-Shabab (but not related to the Somalia group) announced it aims to turn the oil-rich region into a caliphate (HRW, 2021). Following the escalation of the conflict in 2020, displacement surged rapidly. While the number of IDPs was still 110,000 in March 2020, in the same year at least 527,000 people were being displaced in October, of which 45% children (HRP 2021). The recent attack on Palma town (24 March 2021) has forced another 20,000 people to leave their homes and flee to the districts of Nangade, Mueda, Montepuez and Pemba districts (UNHCR 2021, April 2021), while tens of thousands more are thought to be displaced inside Palma district or on the move to safety (OCHA, April 2021). Fleeing from the geographically expanding beheadings, kidnappings and killings, 70% of the internally displaced people, of which the real number is likely to be higher, found refuge with host families in the southern and eastern districts of Cabo Delgado, as well as in the neighbouring Niassa and Nampula provinces. The DRA partners have designed their response with a multi-sector approach. Core activities include: Food Security & Livelihoods: ensure 43,135 people are able to meet their basic food needs (FSC-I2) and are provided with resources to protect and start rebuilding their livelihoods (FSC-I1). Shelter/ Non-Food Items: ensure that 4,500 people have access to dignified and safe shelter solutions (SHL-I1) and NFIs (SHL-I4), including the distribution of survival kits and family kits. WASH: reach 57,935 individuals and ensure access to safe and sufficient water (WSH-I4), hygiene promotion and provision of soaps (WSH-I1), ensuring access to dignified, safe, clean and functional excreta disposal facilities (WSH-R2) and hygiene promotion (WSH-I6) through reaching people with awareness programming. Protection: reach 24,050 individuals and mainstream protection throughout the response, and also ensure people receive an appropriate response to protection risks (PRO-I2), are provided with information (PRO-I5), are reached by the implementation of specific GBV prevention measures (PRO-I11), UASC are specifically supported to address their various and complex needs (PRO-I8), and children receive support specific to their needs (PRO-I15).

This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Netherlands’ Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. The prevention of CEFMU and Teenage Pregnancies (TP) is more urgent than ever, as COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live resulting in increasing levels of GBV, increasing unpaid care work, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of CEFMU and TP. This crisis has further isolated and excluded adolescent girls in remote areas from accessing SRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential SRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as CEFMU, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in Nampula province where CEFMU is most prevalent ( 48%). Because poverty is a key driver of CEFMU, these economic impacts are anticipated to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. The manipulation of cultural initiation practices has also played a role in encouraging early sex and marriage in Mozambique. Cultural practices, religious beliefs (around contraception) and the inability to have conversations about sexual reproductive health rights (SRHR) makes girls vulnerable to unprotected sex, TP and ultimately CEFMU. Girls and boys are shamed for TP, which leads them to drop out of school. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CEFMU/TP. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CEFMU to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting CSOs to organise, participate and communicate enables CSOs to claim better education and SRHR outcomes for girls and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy of civil society. Decision-makers at local, national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency. The programme is a.o. based upon the results and findings of the 18+ ECM ( 2014-2015) and YID programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan in Mozambique and 6 other countries, combined with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on this theme. All partners have experience on improving legislation and policies on CEFMU and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights, quality of SRH education, information and service provision. This resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society (CS) advocacy tool across the SADC region. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. Networking between CSOs and CSOs’ access to decision-maker platforms is nevertheless often inadequate in Mozambique to effectively influence, while youth groups face legal challenges as “under the age of 18, adolescents are not allowed to form youth organisations in Mozambique. Since October 2018’s municipal elections, the space for civil society in Mozambique has deteriorated and CSO members suffer physical attacks when discoursing on sensitive issues such as gender policies. By establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision makers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency, political will increases and civil society has the capacity to advocate for improved SRHR, CM and education related policies, laws and resourcing.

Their capacities and expertise was developed to equip them to be able to in future perform political roles and to implementing advocacy strategies. The adolescent networks received training on knowledges and skills related to lobby and advocacy work and were guided to develop action plans, focusing on L&A natured activities within their communities. In order for the second tier CSO to improve their capacity, they received training on L&A knowledge and skills with a specific link to applying this towards L&A of the key BF thematic teams. Also, training was provided for PME tools that can be used to measure the progress made such as a one day training on Outcome Harvesting. The adolescent networks and CSO's showed to have improved their capacity. This was showcased through the quality of the developed advocacy plans, the carried out interventions by the trained partners and through monitoring of the results of these interventions.

Therefore, ongoing strengthening in the areas of improvement has been planned in for 2023. 7 youth led CSOs (15 - 25 years old) will have their lobby & advocacy capacities strengthened by the programme. In terms of the specific needs related to lobby and advocacy, the CSOs identified the following areas: knowledge on SRHR legislation, SRHR basic concepts and information, and mobilization and engagement skills. Actions such as linking local youth-led groups with district/provincial media to support lobbying and advocacy on girls' education and CM/TP prevention. It was not possible to achieve this target due to difficulties in understanding the instrument used to report capacity building by CSOs.

The challenging political landscape since the 2023 elections, marked by ongoing insecurity and a restricted civic space, has significantly hindered the L&A efforts of various CSOs, including youth-led groups. As a result, progress in strengthening their L&A capacities has been slow, despite valuable lessons learned along the way.

This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Netherlands’ Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. CEFMU, teenage pregnancy (TP) and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) are widespread in Amhara, Ethiopia and linked to multiple social, economic, religious and cultural drivers. Key contributing factor to CEFMU and FGM/C is the lack of sufficient law enforcement and monitoring of this practice. The prevention of CEFMU and Teenage Pregnancies (TP) is more urgent than ever, as COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live resulting in increasing levels of GBV, increasing unpaid care work, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of CEFMU and TP. This crisis has further isolated and excluded adolescent girls in remote areas from accessing SRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential SRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as CEFMU and FGM/C, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in Ethiopia where CEFMU is most prevalent ( 40%). Because poverty is a key driver of CEFMU, these economic impacts are anticipated to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by CS, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CEFMU/TP. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CEFMU to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting CSOs to organise, participate and communicate enables CSOs to claim better education and SRHR outcomes for girls and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy of civil society. Decision-makers at local, national and regional level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency. The programme is a.o. based upon the results and findings of the YID programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan in Ethiopia, combined with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on this theme. All partners have experience on improving legislation and policies on CEFMU and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights, quality of SRH education, information and service provision. This resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society (CS) advocacy tool across the SADC region. While Ethiopia has made great strides since April 2018 in the opening of the ‘civic space’, amid continued insecurity and uncertainty the potential for relapse remains. The opening of media space allows for potential collaboration between media organisations and CSOs on community-focused human rights sensitisation. Still, the CS sector needs to re-establish linkages for effective collaboration on key advocacy projects and the number of organised CSOs and particularly youth-led CSOs in Ethiopia is still limited. Ethiopian government has demonstrated a high level of commitment to addressing HTPs, however, implementation of policies and strategies is hampered by limited coordination and information-sharing as well as limited capacity and resources. Ethiopia does not have explicit laws or policies in place that guarantee pregnant girls or adolescent mothers the right to go back to school, leading to irregular re-entry policies and practices at school level.

COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live resulting in increasing levels of GBV, increasing unpaid care work, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of CEFMU and TP (an additional 20,000 CMs and 40.000 TP’s recorded at the onset of Covid-19) . This crisis has further isolated and excluded adolescent girls in remote areas from accessing SRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential SRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as CEFMU reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. Due to poverty, families tolerate all sorts of CM practices that involve lobola payments. Traditional leaders and parents drive these practices. In areas close to the borders, young men and adolescent boys drop of school and migrate finding better economic opportunities, with the consequence that more unprotected transactional sex with girls and young women is seen, resulting in TP. Initiation ceremonies also fuel CM among both boys and girls and these ceremonies are characterised by misinformed sexual education and associated with readiness for sex and marriage. Harmful cultural practices seem to overshadow and permeate the ‘porous’ enforced laws. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CEFMU/TP.

Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy of civil society. Decision-makers at local, national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency. The programme is a.o. based upon the results and findings of the 18+ ECM ( 2014-2015) and YID programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan in Malawi and 6 other countries, combined with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on this theme. All partners have experience on improving legislation and policies on CEFMU and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights, quality of SRH education, information and service provision. This resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society (CS) advocacy tool across the SADC region. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. Despite the number of SRH services and programmes available, it appears utilisation of these services remains low among the youth of Malawi and lack of education initiatives for parents and caregivers on the benefits of SRH services is a huge barrier to these services being accepted by communities. CSO participation in political decision making on adolescents’ SRHR and education needs is weak. Although there are many channels and space available for CSOs and/or youth-led CSOs to constructively engage in policy and decision-making process, CSO efforts tend to be clustered in a few districts in the country and support is dependent on the views that government officials have on certain topics. Furthermore there is limited capacity on social accountability, budget tracking and lack of robust mechanisms and structures to bring ASRHR issues to national level.

This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! programme empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality, unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Netherlands’ Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and a regional Pan-African component to sustain the country programmes. Although child marriage is illegal in Kenya ( 23%), social norms often dictate that a girl from cannot choose whom she marries and depend on the girl’s socio-economic status and cultural orientation, while the motivation is often the dowry and money. TP prevalence is 23.3% and 21% of women (15–49) have undergone FGM/C, but much higher in some rural areas, being rites de passage and deeply rooted within culture. The prevention of CEFMU and Teenage Pregnancies (TP) is more urgent than ever, as COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live resulting in increasing levels of GBV, increasing unpaid care work, rising sexual exploitation, decreased access to education and increasing rates of CEFMU and TP. This crisis has further isolated and excluded adolescent girls in remote areas from accessing SRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential SRH services. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as CEFMU, reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV and has led to increased transactional sex with older men as girls need the money to buy essentials such as sanitary pads, food, data and clothes. Another contributing factor is poor parenting style where parents do not keep an eye with their young daughters, particularly in Tana River. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CEFMU/TP. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CEFMU to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy. In order to create a supportive and improved socio-cultural environment that promotes education for girls and SRHR for young people, relevant gate keepers, teachers and parents will be made aware of the importance of adopting attitudes favourable to keeping girls in school. Supporting CSOs to organise, participate and communicate enables CSOs to claim better education and SRHR outcomes for girls and young women, and influence decision-making processes. Duty bearers and decision-makers are made aware of and encouraged to take action to fulfil the education needs of girls based on the effective lobby and advocacy of civil society. Decision-makers at local, national, regional and continental level will be sensitized to build linkages between the levels resulting that civil society is able to elevate issues to higher decision-making levels, and vice versa, they can hold lower-level policy makers and duty bearers accountable for implementing decisions taken at higher levels. This will be enabled by establishing participation and accountability mechanisms between decision-makers/duty bearers and civil society with the support of enhanced youth agency. The programme is a.o. based upon the results and findings of the 18+ ECM ( 2014-2015) and YID programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan in Kenya and 6 other countries, combined with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on this theme. All partners have experience on improving legislation and policies on CEFMU and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights, quality of SRH education, information and service provision. This resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society (CS) advocacy tool. It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. Despite the policy and legal frameworks for curbing CM, it is still widespread. As the penalty of the Maslaha traditional court (prohibited but still often used) in TP cases is to marry or pay off, the consequence of TP is that often the girls do not return to school after delivery, despite the government’s return to school policy. Civic space for CSOs to participate in political decision-making in Kenya has not shrunk, but they often work in silos and compete for funding. It is certainly still possible to advocate against TP, CM, FGM/C and for SRHR, but insufficient coordination among CSOs. There is considerable engagement between government and CSOs. But government and religious leaders and groups at times show hostility to CSOs around CSE and on other matters relating to SRHR and adolescents and CSE faced a massive push back from government, religious leaders and even parents.

Being married generally carries high social status in the patriarchal society of Zambia. Almost one third (29%) of women (age 20–24)are married before 18. Teenage pregnancy (TP) prevalence is 30.9% under 18 and under customary law there is no minimum age of consent to marry. Traditional practices and social norms socialise girls to prepare for marriage and are key factors influencing their decision to get married. These gender roles and expectations make negotiating safer sex challenging for girls and also means that education is not prioritised for girls. Parents often turn a blind eye to their children’s SRH and risky behaviour and, in many instances, support decisions around transactional sex, child labour and early marriage due to the economic benefits they bring to the family. Lockdown restrictions and enforcement of COVID-19 prevention methods have led to an increase in harmful practices such as CEFMU reducing the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. SRH services are often not tailored for youth aged 10–24 years and relevant and good quality information and education is still lacking and often do not reach out-of-school youth and youth with disabilities. SRH education still focuses on messages of abstinence until marriage. Adolescents under 16 cannot access services without the consent of their parents. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by civil society, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CEFMU/TP. Education opportunities and a community supportive of girls’ education will stimulate adolescent girls at risk of TP/CEFMU to access and remain in school, while promoting the re-entrance of girls who have discontinued school due to pregnancy.

It resulted as well in strengthened CSOs, youth hubs and girls clubs, which have become promoters of ASRHR. CSOs play a critical role in monitoring policy implementation and service delivery in Zambia. Decision-makers are open to CSOs participating in political decision-making on SRHR, CM and TP but politicians’ political agendas sometimes hinder progress on policy and programmes.Religious communities that participate in L&A initiatives are often barrier for advancing ASRHR as it is believed to promote immoral behaviour. Unless the enabling environment for CSOs to participate in decision-making, stronger advocacy strategy and accountability mechanism for implementing policies and commitments is needed. While teachers follow up on girls who are absent, they is no follow up on pregnant girls to ensure that they return to school. Programmes and support are not geared towards emotionally and practically supporting teenage mothers to go back to school and so, there is little hope of girls bouncing back after pregnancy and CM.

CEFMU, teenage pregnancy (TP) and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) are widespread in Mali and linked to multiple social, economic, religious and cultural drivers. Preserving the family honour by protecting a girl’s virginity and by preventing pregnancy outside marriage are often factors in decisions to marry off a girl when she reaches puberty in Mali, next to poverty as a contributing factor to CEFMU. The legal age of marriage in Mali is over the age of 16 for girls and CEFMU prevalence is 53%. Mali has a high prevalence of TP ( 46%) resulting often in girls’ dropout of school due to stigmatisation and leading to stress and isolation, while for married mothers, a return to school is not considered feasible given her childcare and household responsibilities. Key contributing factor to CEFMU and FGM/C is the lack of sufficient law enforcement and monitoring of this practice. The prevention of CEFMU and TP is more urgent than ever, as COVID-19 situation has dramatically changed the context in which adolescent girls live resulting in increasing rates of CEFMU and TP. This crisis has further isolated and excluded adolescent girls from accessing SRHR information and services, especially concerning contraception and other essential SRH services and reduced the effectiveness of referral pathways for essential services, and resulting in poorer SRH outcomes for girls. The loss of employment and income by parents and caregivers is expected to increase girls’ school dropout and girls’ vulnerability to sexual exploitation, resulting in TP and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. This economic downturn will likely have a large impact on the poverty levels in Mali. Because poverty is a key driver of CEFMU, these economic impacts are anticipated to increase rates of CEFMU and TP in vulnerable communities. Empowering adolescents to claim their SRHR rights, supported by CS, will be achieved if CSOs, youth-led groups and networks are strengthened to lobby and advocate for improved legislation and to promote social norm change in favour of the prevention of CEFMU/TP.

The programme is a.o. based upon the results and findings of the YID programme (2015-2020), implemented by Plan in 7 countries, combined with experience of FAWE and SAT’s programmes on this theme. All partners have experience on improving legislation and policies on CEFMU and implementation thereof, through L&A and enhancing adolescent’s skills to claim their SRH rights, quality of SRH education, information and service provision. This resulted a.o. into the development of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, served as legal framework for national law and policy-makers and was used as civil society (CS) advocacy tool across the SADC region. Mali has made some effort to develop laws, policies, plans and strategies to address priority SRH issues. However, neither CM or FGM have been declared illegal and so continue to be widely practised. Implementation of policies is generally perceived to be lacking, mainly as a result of capacity and budget constraints. A key strength is what appears to be a fairly robust and vibrant civil society that serves as development partner and watchdog. However, a key challenge is the political pressure exerted by traditional and religious leaders, which has hampered the introduction of vitally important legislation regarding SRHR in the country. Youth-led organisations also participate in advocacy interventions and political decision-making processes, but mostly on national level. However, youth engagement in decision-making regarding their SRH remains limited, particularly among girls, because of the high level of parental control and social norms dictating female obedience and respectfulness.

This will involve professionals in the SRHR field, school administration, adolescent girls and their parents. These guidelines will significantly contribute to reducing the rate of early pregnancy and child marriage as well as reducing the school dropout rate due to these practices. The overachievement can be explained by the underestimation of the 2024 target but by the strong involvement of stakeholders, particularly young people, in the implementation of project activities. The number of people to be reached is determined by estimation. Therefore, it may be higher or lower than expected. There were 120 awareness-raising sessions by health workers at the school level. 480 awareness-raising sessions by women's groups and peer educators on the project's themes. 48 awareness-raising sessions by peer educators and relays at the community level on the project's themes. Capacity building for girls and peer educators, as well as awareness sessions on sexual and reproductive health in communities and schools will reach at least 2080 female young people. Strategies such digital campaigns and radio programs and open days with schools to talk about SR/FP by young people and girls in particular to assert their rights and to popularize the Reproductive Health Law (2002) will be implemented. The discrepancy can be explained by the underestimation of the 2023 target and by the strong involvement of stakeholders, particularly young people, in the implementation of project activities. We were not able to set the target on time, hence 0, but in the end we targeted 7500 young women The gap is due to the delay in the implementation of 2021 activities and also the non-implementation of 2022 activities by an implementing partner for the Kita zone The first year we decided not to work on this indicator as we are still preparing to ensure an enabling environment for CSE provision The first year we decided not to work on this indicator as we are still preparing to ensure an enabling environment for CSE provision The participants reached are aged 10-24.

This will involve professionals in the SRHR field, school administration, adolescent girls and their parents. These guidelines will significantly contribute to reducing the rate of early pregnancy and child marriage as well as reducing the school dropout rate due to these practices. The overachievement can be explained by the underestimation of the 2024 target but by the strong involvement of stakeholders, particularly young people, in the implementation of project activities. The number of people to be reached is determined by estimation. Therefore, it may be higher or lower than expected. There were 120 awareness-raising sessions by health workers at the school level. 480 awareness-raising sessions by women's groups and peer educators on the project's themes. 48 awareness-raising sessions by peer educators and relays at the community level on the project's themes. The gap is due to the delay in the implementation of 2021 activities and also the non-implementation of 2022 activities by an implementing partner for the Kita zone Capacity building for youth and peer educators, as well as awareness sessions on sexual and reproductive health in communities and schools will reach at least 1000 male young people. Strategies such digital campaigns and radio programs and open days with schools to talk about SR/FP by young people to assert their rights and to popularize the Reproductive Health Law (2002) will be implemented.

Sessions during relevant national level events such as February 6 (Day against FGM) and October 11 (International Day for the Rights of the Girl Child) will also be organized so girls and young women can interact with parliamentarians and government officials. They are the primary targets of the advocacy activities for the marriage of girls after 18 and access to age-appropriated reproductive health services. Actions to strengthen youth organizations at community and national level have been stepped up so that they can play an active role in promoting respect for their rights, particularly in terms of SRHR and the protection of children and girls.

Initially, these organizations or youth groups were strengthened on advocacy issues, particularly the consequences of child marriage, early pregnancy, female genital mutilation, and the importance of keeping girls in school.

She Leads is a joint programme of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children - ECPAT the Netherlands (DCI-ECPAT), African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), and Terre des Hommes the Netherlands (TdH). Equal Measures 2030 is a technical partner. In the She Leads Global Advocacy Network, She Leads members of Terre des Hommes, Defence for Children, ECPAT International, FEMNET, Equal Measures 2030 and Plan International will implement the programme together with representatives from youth led organisations and She Leads Country networks. They will bring together child rights organisations, feminist/women’s rights organisations, and GYW-led groups with the aim to increase sustained influence of girls and young women (GYW) on decision-making at the international level. Girls and young women’s (GYW’s) rights to engage in public decision-making are enshrined in international agreements and national laws. In reality, however, GYW voices are excluded from the socio-political domain, particularly those of GYW who experience intersecting forms of discrimination. GYW’s meaningful participation is obstructed by three interrelated factors. Firstly, discriminatory gender- and age-related social norms limit GYW’s rights to move freely, voice opinions and engage in public life. Secondly, GYW groups in civil society are under resourced and lack strong ties with more established CSOs. The latter are not always responsive to the specific needs and perspectives of GYW-led groups. Furthermore, the global phenomenon of shrinking civic space is affecting GYW-led organizations, making it even harder for them to express their opinions, assemble and associate. Groups that challenge the ruling gender ideology are increasingly being intimidated, threatened and exposed to violence. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, GYW actors risk additional security threats as easy targets of militarized and extremist forces. Thirdly, political institutions at all levels, including at international level are dominated by elites consisting of mainly male, elder leaders, with no interest in institutional reforms that would make decision-making processes more inclusive, transparent and accountable. Existing consultation mechanisms (such as youth parliaments and advisory bodies) are usually poorly resourced, dependent on donor support and functioning irregularly. She Leads envisions change in 3 domains of society: the social-cultural, civil society and institutional domain. With the She Leads International Programme the focus in on the institutional domain at international level and the role of civil society in influencing this international level. The media and the voices of young female activists play an important role in inspiring other girls and breaking down negative stereotypes. In the civil society domain, the creation (consolidation) of safe spaces at international level is important, in which GYW from the different She Leads Country networks can meet, exchange, build their confidence, political consciousness and skills. Another key condition is the increased capacity of (adult-led) CSOs to effectively support GYW collective action. Stronger collaboration between GYW groups, child and women’s rights networks, nationally and internationally, will lead to a more enabling environment for GYW-led groups. A well connected and better resourced social movement for girls’ rights is able to promote a strong feminist counternarrative to the dominant patriarchal and ageist ideology. In the institutional domain at international level the She Leads international programme monitors and influences how national policy makers navigate and present themselves at international fora. The She Leads international programme advocates towards the UN Special Mandate holders, Human Rights mechanisms and treaty bodies at important national fora and international agreements and policies. By bringing the advocacy messages from the She Leads youth from the countries to these fora and policy makers, they will develop greater awareness and knowledge about GYW inclusion in decision-making. Pressure exercised by regional and international bodies will force national governments to take action and safeguard GYW’s rights to association and freedom of expression. The She Leads International programme will partner with existing GYW-led groups and feminist organizations. Importantly, special efforts are made to support existing informal groups of girls and young women, for example girls' clubs, associations, student groups and unregistered organizations, which have started to organize and mobilize but are often excluded from many funding mechanisms. The She Leads Global Programme supports and facilitates GYW-led organizing and feminist activists' from the different She Leads countries, to access influential decision makers and influencers at global level. The issues flagged and the initiatives started by GYW- led organisations in She Leads countries will be amplified at relevant international fora and decision-making spaces. Apart from international advocacy with and by GYW-led organisations, the She Leads consortium members of he international programme will strengthen the connections between GYW-led organisations at global level and amplify their media messages and campaigns towards a broader public. The international programme will collaborate with media reporting on international advocacy spaces and international development cooperation to amplify the voices of girls and young women in global processes and address negative gender and age norms that continue to hamper girls' and young women's meaningful participation in international advocacy and development processes and spaces. The international programme will facilitate networking and organize with other groups, CSOs and networks at international level to address gender equality. Also the involved GYW-Led organisations from the She Leads countries are strengthened in their influencing and advocacy using evidence-based data, especially facilitated by technical partner EM2030. In order to effectively influence and participate, the GYW are strengthened in their technical advocacy skills and their organizational and networking capacity. The International programme will connect Girls and Young women with decision makers and other CSOs at international fora. Representatives of the GYW-led groups from the She Leads countries will be supported to influence the targeted institutions at international level through awareness raising, direct engagement, workshop and training on networking and technical lobby and advocacy skills. Through the programme the GYW will have the capacity, knowledge and tools to directly influence and engage with decision makers and stakeholders in the international advocacy space. The international programme will seek engagement with UN bodies and other intergovernmental organisations, to improve the meaningful particiation of GYW at the international level. Within the population of girls and young women (between 14 till 24 years), the programme aims to strengthen the influence and participation of GYW who suffer most from (intersectional) discrimination and exclusion. These include: • GYW living in poor, remote rural areas and urban slums • GYW experiencing gender based violence (particularly girls who have married early) • GYW with disabilities • GYW who are out of school • Refugee and internally displaced GYW • GYW from sexual minority groups The benificiaries will be the GYW from the She Leads countries who will directly be influenced and engaged by the International programme. Also the benificiaries will be the GYW that profit from stronger and more meaningful participation processes institutionalized at international level. And the GYW will profit from the outcomes of the HR monitoring and country monitoring that the She Leads International programme will target including UPR, VNR and Treaty body recommendations. 1. Funding and resourcing of girl-led/young feminist organising, collective action and activism: building upon experiences of FEMNET and Plan International, we will co-design, test and adapt flexible, grant-making mechanisms with and for girl-led groups fitting their needs and characteristics. Flexible, core funding will be combined with capacity support actions addressing GYW-led group’s (advocacy) priorities and with protective measures to generate safe spaces for girls’ political empowerment. 2. For data-driven and evidence-based advocacy & research at global level, She Leads will partner with Equal Measures 2030 and GYW to compile and share relevant data about gender equality and progress toward the SDGs for GYW in each She Leads country, leveraging and adapting its tools such as the SDG Gender Index and the Gender Advocates Data hub. 3. She Leads will catalyse the growth and strength of social movements and collective action to tackle gender inequality, exclusion and injustice towards GYW in all their diversity. The meaningful inclusion of GYW in membership and leadership of international networks and movements will be key to accelerate and push for GYW agency, support positive and progressive social and gender norms and system change. We will create linkages with GYW and existing networks She Leads. 4. At the global level, She Leads adopts a media influencing and advocacy strategy. Spreading feminist GYW-led stories and demands for social and gender norms change via traditional (TV, Radio) and new media (socials) we target the whole community. ( Advocate for girls’ access to international institutions and human rights mechanisms. She Leads will advocate and facilitate space for GYW to engage and contribute to international accountability processes and human rights mechanisms. She Leads partners will share expertise She Leads contributes to a lasting transformative effect on engagement of GYW in decision-making. The following strategies will be implemented: - Advocacy on the strengthening and resourcing GYW-led organizations: investing in the resource base of GYW-led organizations will help them access other funding in the future. And the strengthening and capacity building of the alliance organizations itself to directly fund the GYW-led organizations -Bring together child-rights and feminist organisations and GYW-led groups at international level and fora to push collectively for transformative change in gender norms, and for institutional reform. -Organisational capacity strengthening of CSO’s: investments in advocacy capacity, building relationships with decision-makers, strengthening fundraising skills will have a lasting effect on their influencing work beyond She Leads. - Linking local, national, regional and global level: She Leads is implemented at different levels that are strategically interconnected. Interventions and results in one domain trigger change in other domains, and changes at local, national, regional and international levels are connected and influence each other.

Grassroots CSOs do not always have this status and are not able to access these fora. For the Treaty bodies, access for CSO is possible, but it takes time and capacity and knowledge on the process to be able to submit a report. The She Leads international programme will support She Leads countries and especially youth led organisations to prepare for the process and to be able to participate. This also goes for the UPR process, that is accessible for CSOs but only if you have knowledge on the process and how to engage as CSO. Participation of Youth-led organisations is very rare. Initial target of 40 was met at the MTR. Laid the foundation in the last 2 years and we will build on that in different spaces (CSW, UPR, HRC, Women Deliver), Being a coalition the advantage is that we are able to access processes despite the shrinking spaces.

Ukrainians are massively fleeing the country and seeking protection in neighbouring countries. Families are separated from each other. For those who are left behind, the situation is life-threatening and extremely uncertain. They urgently need help. In exceptional disasters, 11 Dutch collaborating aid organizations join forces under Giro555. These aid organizations include: Stiching Vluchteling, Cordaid, CARE Nederland, Kerk in Actie, Oxfam Novib, Save the Children, UNICEF, Dut This funding will be used to provide protection, MHPSS and CVA to children, adolescent and caregiver refugees from Ukraine in Poland, in particular through two one-stop shop reception centers. One in Opole and one in Warsaw, and through mobile units with a reach throughout the affected areas of the country. Since the upset of conflict in Ukraine in Feb 2022, war has caused civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcing people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance. The war in Ukraine has triggered the fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II. Within seven weeks, more than 5 million refugees have fled into countries neighboring Ukraine and beyond. The situation for people forced to leave is severe as families are being torn apart and people are fleeing in fear and distress. Some 90 per cent of those fleeing Ukraine are women and children, so humanitarian partners are on high alert for increased risks of trafficking, gender-based violence and exploitation. While millions of refugees from Ukraine have crossed borders into neighboring countries, Poland is one of the main destination for refugees from Ukraine. According to UNHCR, 1,207,650 refugees from Ukraine registered for temporary protection in Poland, 93% of them are female, while 63% have come with children (source: Ukrainian refugees in Poland, EWL 2022). Refugees flee their country with very limited resources are in an acute need for principled and timely life-saving multi-sectoral assistance to people affected by the war. Plan International aims in collaboration with its implementing partner HumanDOC in Poland to strengthen the resilience of refugees from Ukraine in Poland, by providing holistic support to children, adolescents and their caregivers, including protection, MHPSS, PSS, and legal consultation support. HumanDOC will provide MHPSS in Emergencies training for 15 specialists. Trained specialists will establish mobile units to deliver MHPSS and PFA to refugees from Ukraine in Poland. Two community centers will be established in Opole and Warsaw to provide psychosocial support for parents/caregivers and children, raising awareness of child protection and GBV risks, and provide legal consultation support for refugees from Ukraine. HumanDOC will Provide material and/or financial support, aligned with governmental and international aid programmes, such as financial support for rented accommodation and/or associated costs; financial support to cover costs of required medicine, necessary medical treatment/insurance; financial support for child day nursery costs and educational expenses for pupils/students, etc. Since the war began on 24 February, humanitarian partners have rapidly increased the scale and scope of operations, in both Ukraine and neighboring countries. In Ukraine, before the war, humanitarian partners mainly operated in the non- government-controlled areas of Donetska and Luhanska oblasts, behind the former contact line. According to regional refugee response plan, today 207 humanitarian partners more than half of which are Ukrainian non-governmental organizations—are operating in the 24 oblasts of Ukraine. Although, there is an acute need for supporting host countries to ensure that all refugees from Ukraine have access to safety and international protection, in line with their situation, and in compliance with the principle of non-refoulment. in addition to support host countries to provide timely and life-saving humanitarian assistance to refugees fleeing Ukraine and third-country nationals having left Ukraine, with a specific focus on the most vulnerable women, girls, boys and men. The project supports a wide range of refugees from Ukraine, mainly mothers and children (boys and girls). It supports children under 18 (boys and girls) with psychosocial support, supporting their enrolment in school and disseminating crucial information for their safety and wellbeing. The project will provide training to Ukrainian (male and female) psychologists. - HumanDoc Foundation will work with a team of Polish and Ukrainian psychologists to provide a direct MHPSS for Ukrainian refugees in Poland. The psychologists will be trained in Warsaw by a team led by Katarzyna Podleska, a qualified specialist in psychotraumatology who has experience working in Ukraine. As a result, the psychologists will obtain the necessary knowledge and competences to independently conduct Psychological First Aid in emergency settings. Trained psychologists will be then employed under the project to provide therapy for Ukrainian refugees. HumanDoc Foundation will also perform a mapping of available services, and establish referral mechanisms for refugees requiring specialised support. Additionally, trained psychologists will be provided with IT equipment (computers and telephones) to enable online therapy. This will allow outreach to a larger group of people in need. The project - The project will provide comprehensive support for Ukrainian refugees in Poland through two support centres in Warsaw and Opole. The support centres will act as one-stop shops offering a wide range of basic services. The centres will be located around Warsaw (in the city centre and 2 reception points outside the city), and in Opole (at 3 points in the Opolskie Voivodeship). The geographic scope ensures HumanDoc to be as close as possible to refugees from Ukraine who are living far from urban centres. These centres will be complemented by mobile units based on emergent needs as the crisis evolves, to ensure that as many of the planned services as possible can also be provided to refugees from Ukraine in harder to reach areas of Poland. - Teams consisting of a team leader, psychologist and case manager will visit the field points twice a week. The goal of field points will be to reach people from outside the cities who do not have access to a wider range of support services. The beneficiaries will be predominantly women, children and adolescents, who will be supported by a team of advisors, assistants, consultants such as legal advisors, psychologists, interpreters, Polish language teachers and animators. - In the community centers, refugees will be provided with information regarding legal issues, registrations and enrolments, as well as with PSS through play and with caregiver peer-to-peer support. Existence of a scaled up, one stop shop centre in Warsaw is urgently needed due to large numbers of refugees in the city. In Opole and the whole Opolskie region, there are very few organisations providing services and none of them are one stop shop. Each centre client will create individual activation plans and receive support for a period of three months, with a possibility of extension up to six months in more severe cases. - Multi-purpose cash support will be provided for most vulnerable refugees based on a well-defined criteria plan. The financial support is unconditional and unrestricted so it can be for rented accommodation and/or associated costs (e.g. electricity, gas, utility bills, internet); financial support to cover costs of required medicine, necessary medical treatment/insurance; financial support for child day nursery costs and educational expenses for pupils/students. The scope of assistance will be aligned with governmental and international aid programmes. We will also monitor financial support for refugees from the government to prevent duplication of assistance, identify gaps and come up with solutions. The aim is for this to be primarily done through CVA wherever conditions allow.

Following three consecutive failed rainy seasons since late 2020, the March-May 2022 rainy season largely failed, compromising fragile livelihoods heavily reliant on livestock and deepening food insecurity and malnutrition. The population in need of humanitarian food assistance in Ethiopia has reached record levels in 2022 - 10 to 15 million people - driven by ongoing insecurity and climate shocks that are likely to result in continued high needs into 2023. Through DRA funding Plan will respond to the most urgent needs in Liben (Guji Zone, Oromia State) on FSL, supported by MPC. In Guji zone a combination of drought and conflict are causing major acute needs to its mostly pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities. Due to the drought, district authorities indicate significant yield failures, at 63% in Guji generally and over 75% in Liben specifically, causing the targeted area to be classified as IPC 4, with PLWs, PwDs and female-headed households affected in particular. Through needs assessments it was found that the most urgent gaps were immediate unconditional cash support for the most vulnerable as well as emergency actions to prevent further livestock loss, access to safe water and seeds for agriculture. Specific requests from the consulted stakeholders to address immediate short-term gaps (aside from MPC) included vaccines for livestock and a CfW approach to support livelihoods restoration. Also, HHs in Liben have lost large numbers of livestock, with over 25,000 livestock lost due to drought this year alone, and a further 145,000 in need of immediate feed and medicine support, putting at risk over 28,000 HHs relying on this livestock in Liben alone. Plan & ANE propose a life-saving MPC/FSL response to the urgent needs in Liben Woreda of Guji zone. Communities and local stakeholders indicated a strong need for MPC assistance as well as emergency livestock-saving measures to protect what remains of livelihoods. Thus, Plan/ANE propose: 1. MPC will cover income gaps for vulnerable households and enhance FS, preventing depletion of livelihoods assets and negative coping mechanisms. Distribution of 4500ETB pm for 2 months for 1000 HHs, in particular PLWs and PwDs. 2. The FSL activities focus on crop and livestock production, in particular vaccines and crop/fodder to prevent further livestock losses in the next few months, thus providing a continued source of food in the most acute phase of the drought. Thus: Improved crop and fodder seeds for 2000 vulnerable agropastoral HHs; Ovine and Bovine pasteurellosis vaccine for 80.000 ruminants and 25.000 cattle; Anthrax vaccine for 40.000 cattle; Cash for Work for 500 HHs to rehabilitate degraded land at a rate of 150ETB per day for 20 days; comprehensive capacity building on livestock health and care for 30 local stakeholders for cascading the acquired knowledge to the project participants. The proposed response is part of Plan’s and ANE’s broader drought response, enabling cost-sharing for programme costs including offices, transport, staff and storage (locally & regionally). The project activities will build on and create synergies with ongoing programmes in the area, in particular existing WASH, FSL, CPIE and MPC projects. Water supply to support the activities (seeds/livestock) is thus assured, and the proposed activities are in line with the inter-cluster recommendations for the drought response. The project targets IPC3+ HH, and groups with specific vulnerabilities. Women, children, elderly and People with Disabilities (PWD) are bearing the brunt of this crisis. They are most affected by the lack of clean water and food. Many WHHs have lost all sources of livelihood. Therefore, these groups are specifically targeted and activities are tailored to their needs. In terms of delivery ANE is in charge of the Multi-Purpose Cash result, while Plan is in charge of the FSL result. • Within the FSL intervention Plan International will provide immediate lifesaving FSL support for 10,000 (agro-)pastoral households (60,000 beneficiaries) through primarily livestock-focused interventions, including provision of (improved) crop and fodder seeds, basic veterinary care, targeted veterinary training and CfW (Cash for Work) for pasture rehabilitation/enclosures. • Within the MPC response local partner ANE will provide unconditional MPCA for 890 households (5,340 beneficiaries), with a value of 4500ETB per month for a period of two months, targeting specifically Pregnant and Lactating Women and Persons with Disabilities. Protection desks incl. awareness raising to protect GBV in relation to cash transfer will be installed at distribution centers. PDM conducted monthly. Plan and ANE will work through direct implementation through their offices already active in the area. The project will be implemented in coordination with zonal/district government sectors and community structures. The overall management of this project is the responsibility of Plan International Oromia Region Program Area (OPA) and the ANE field team with close technical support from Plan’s and ANE’s HQs, and the assigned Project Coordinator based in Plan’s office in Negele, Guji zone capital town. Both organizations have strong local presence and are well-established within the communities. Plan is strongly committed to equal partnerships and ANE was involved in program development from the start. Plan and ANE have an ongoing partnership and work together frequently, including through mutual learning & capacity building. ANE will facilitate the cash transfers through an FSP with Plan’s technical support where relevant, while Plan will provide the planned activities under FSL, with ANE involved in decision-making and reviews. Plan/ANE are the only DRA Members proposing to work in Guji zone. Synergies were thus sought in particular with non-DRA ongoing and planned projects as well as Plan and ANE’s own projects. In terms of accountability several local stakeholders were consulted through phone conversations in the design process of the project, in addition to a more elaborate needs assessment concluded 3 weeks prior to the design process. Additionally, 900 (150 community representatives, 750 beneficiaries of various inputs) will be involved in the project monitoring processes, providing information about the beneficiary selection processes, timely delivery of the planned project inputs, appropriateness of the provided inputs, quality and adaptability of the inputs as well as beneficiary satisfaction with the project. In particular, community representatives will coordinate and participate in beneficiary selection, project monitoring and evaluation processes. Cross-cutting themes: • Gender-sensitivity: Gender and protection are mainstreamed throughout the project. PI’s Gender Transformative approach ensures that activities always consider the specific needs and that gender inequalities are addressed. Protection is mainstreamed through staff training. Identification and referrals are ensured through PI's ongoing CPiE project in the same area. • Accountability: The Core Humanitarian Standards will be adhered to throughout the project cycle: PI & ANE will establish immediately Child Friendly Feedback Mechanisms that promote gender & age-appropriate, inclusive, safe and confidential ways for children and young people to receive information, provide feedback and meaningfully participate in humanitarian programming wherever those are not yet in place through ongoing actions. All staff and volunteers are trained on PSEA as well as positive engagement with beneficiaries. PDM will track the use of/satisfaction with cash and beneficiaries’ suggestions. • Conflict-sensitivity: Conflict-sensitivity will be integrated in all aspects of the project, in particular in beneficiary selection. PI and ANE have strong links with communities and local stakeholders and are particularly careful in Guji zone due to the existing conflict. DNH is crucial and risks will be continuously monitored. PI and ANE can build on existing programming and will provide local and representative ownership of the interventions to enable local stakeholders to share concerns and advocate for their communities.

NL-KVK-41198890-IND100369 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY - India is one of the youngest nations in the world and only 2,3% of India’s total workforce has undergone formal skills trainings. Although there are job opportunities, young people often are not in education, employment and/or trainings. Especially in the aftermath of COVID-19 an apt and quick restoration of livelihoods is imperative. Given the context, next phase of Plan India Saksham project will emphasis on rebuilding processes at community level by deploying strategy of developing human capital (through training and reskilling), strengthening social and physical capital (alumni, employers and networks), and building financial capital against future shocks (financial mainstreaming and digital literacy). Saksham Plus follows the Saksham project launched in 2010 which supported disadvantaged youth (18-35 year) especially young women (60%) in India, to enable them to realise their dreams by equipping them with essential life and market oriented vocational skills. India is among the youngest nations in the world with 74 million young people aged 15 to 24 among its population. Various reports suggest that despite the rapidly growing demand for (semi-)skilled workforce, there are not enough opportunities for market oriented skills training to fulfil the expectations of all the young women and men after completing their basic school education. As a result, only 2.3% of India’s total workforce has undergone formal skill training. Consequently, the number of young people who are not in education, employment and trainings (NEET) is gradually increasing while concurrently the existing unmet demand in urban spaces for skilled personnel is growing. This gap between the high market demand for skilled employees and the low number of qualified youths to fill these jobs can be attributed primarily to the current model of skill development in India; through vocational training centers set up by the government, NGOs or private companies. This existing model presents the challenge not to be able to scale up in next few years to meet the market’s demand. Concurrently, there is still a huge disparity between men's and women's employment rates, which have been further exacerbated by the COVID-pandemic. The overall objective of the project aims at the empowerment and socio-economic integration of young women and men (18-29 years) in two states Delhi and Rajasthan, India, in a conducive and gender-transformative environment, through meaningful skilling contributing to National Skilling Agenda. Building on the success of Saksham 3, project is a response to growing need among youth to provide them with training and employment opportunities in Plan India target communities. Since 2010, more than 12,000 young people (60%females) have benefited from this program and 70% of them have been permanently integrated into wage and self-employment. Plan India aims to actively promote life skills, economic rights, financial inclusion and job oriented vocational trainings in girls and young people which suits the market requirement evolved after COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts continue to address social and gender norms that prevent adolescent’s girls to gain vocational skills for market-oriented jobs and thus participate in economic processes and income generation activities, particularly those who have undergone reverse migration after COVID-19 pandemic. In the project, skill building is a tool to empower individuals and improve their social acceptance. Besides enabling communities to be economically secure, project is in line with the “Government of India’s National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship 2015”. Project will connect with other Plan India program working with young people: “Young Health Program” and “Pramarsh”. The project will focus on 3900 youths aged 18 – 29 years (60% women) from disadvantaged communities in Delhi and Rajasthan in India who have less opportunity compared to their peers as they face social, economic and/or geographic obstacles, educational difficulties and/or cultural differences. Out of the 3900 beneficiaries 3000 are located in urban and 900 in rural areas. The project will be rolled out for three years with yearly deliverables and key performance indicators in place. It is believed that more areas could be added in the projects subsequently depending on need analysis and potential. The project will have year-by-year budgeting of training 3.250 youth for next three years. The project will accordingly be up scaled as per the needs identified while implementing the project. The project will consider the following activities: 1. Mobilise NEET youth in urban slums to join Saksham program • Street corner meetings to invite NEET youth to join Saksham • Engage parents to support girls and boys enrolment • Community advertisements and kiosks to promote awareness on Saksham and its advantages; • Promote alumni as role models to motivate and invite youth to join 2. Test aptitude of youth for specific vocational courses and counselling • Analyse personal, educational and family information about youth who have shown interest; • Share summary of courses on offer and opportunities; • Test aptitude of youth for the courses on offer; (to help understand potential to set-up self-employment unit and gainful employment) • Counselling of youth to provide complete information on events/ activities to follow 3. Market oriented vocational skills trainings (the trainings under the project are not gender specific number of girls have joined retail marketing, and IT based jobs, whereas boys have opted for hospitality trade) • Market scan at regular intervals to determine skills requirement of market/employers • Vocational training as per trade • curriculum facilitated by specialist VT trainers; • English language and basic computer skills trainings (in JOVT); • Monthly parents, teacher and trainee meetings to assess learning progress 4. Gender equality and soft skills trainings • Gender awareness training by sector experts; • Guide youth understand gender relations at personal, community and work spaces. • Life skills, personal hygiene alumni, trainers, CSOs, institutions are primary stakeholders who will remain connected through range of capacity building and sensitization initiatives spread across target areas. Through intensive engagement project initiatives will be sustained beyond project duration. CSOs and training institutions work with district and state officials that help them leverage funding support for training services and linking them with other relevant resources. •Trained teachers on life-skills, job-readiness, gender, subject domain •Alumni +community: trained alumni and community on planning, monitoring, leveraging resources; further strengthening alumni to act as resource for other community youth to provide guidance on career and jobs •Working with local partners building capacities so they can also run projects on their own •Trained resources/manpower available to provide further trainings and guide youth for signposting and referrals •Government engagement: working with line departments to showcase good practices of project for replication in other areas •Awareness raising meeting with community/family (esp. gender transformation) •Employer's network, Gender and youth friendly environment for sustainable retention •Promoting Peer to Peer Learning AkzoNobel Center Headquarters Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands Plan International India Plan International France Plan International India Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Basic life skills for youth and adults Vocational training Gender Equality LEARN - Skills opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship (SOYEE) Youth Economic Empowerment & Education Youth Economic Empowerment & Education 266667 72276 231058 Plan International Netherlands 266667 Plan International India 28345 Plan International India -28345 Plan International India 28345 Plan International India 18322 Plan International India 28345 Plan International India 35000 Plan International India 75000 Plan International India -75000 Plan International India 75000 Plan International India 35000 Plan International India 75000 Plan International India -28345 Plan International India 1512 576 1656 1944 1764 864 -1977 761 265 171 1109 4896 2556 14400 2232 1800 504 3384 2376 648 72 288 6444 922 72 1055 288 216 144 2736 936 2700 3654 648 792 504 864 288 216 144 72 72 72 972 612 864 3456 1728 1080 972 2736 288 1512 135000 AkzoNobel Center Headquarters NL-KVK-41198890-ETH102075 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Ethiopia has made significant progress in reducing child mortality. Still, much work in many areas will have to be done to address structural and social factors that affect children’s health. These actions include water and sanitation, nutrition and the economic and social empowerment of women as children’s primary caregivers. This project wants to reduce morbidity, mortality and malnutrition among children, by improving their Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) situations. The project is being implemented by Plan International Ethiopia and it will reach the total population of 357,953 people in two Woredas (districts), namely Bahir Dar Zuria (Amhara) and Dara (SNNPR). The project started in September 2013 and will run till June 2019. It uses Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and Multiple Use System (MUS) approaches, in combination with nutrition education and support for Village Saving and Loan (VSL) groups. Compared to previous gains, it will probably be more difficult to keep reducing child mortality in Ethiopia. This is because the really marginalised and disadvantaged groups have yet to be reached and continued progress requires efforts on many fronts to address structural and social factors that affect children’s health. There are three main causes of illness and death among children under five. (a) There is limited knowledge about the importance of improved sanitation and appropriate hygienic practices, particularly in rural areas. Hygienic practices, better access to safe water, and improved sanitation can reduce diarrhoea-related illnesses by up to 45, 32 and 25 per cent respectively (WHO 2004). In Ethiopia, only 21 per cent of people have access to sanitation (UNICEF, 2011). (b) There is limited knowledge about mother, new-born and child health nutrition. In Ethiopia 31 per cent of pregnant women are anaemic, 20 per cent of new-borns are underweight, 51 per cent of infants younger than six months are not exclusively breastfed and 33 per cent of all children are moderately to seriously underweight. The stunted growth rate is 51 per cent (UNICEF). (c) Women have a low socio-economic status, which is perpetuated by the limited support they receive from men and society in general. Women play key roles in generating income and food production and preparation, so their status significantly affects the nutritional condition of households, and children in particular. Action is needed to improve women’s status and reinforce the responsibilities of men as caretakers. Plan Ethiopia is using CLTS and MUS approaches, in combination with nutrition education and support for VSL groups. In the context of this project these approaches will be integrated and will therefore reinforce one another. VSL groups (with 15-20 members, mainly women) are an important starting point for the work to be done in the chosen communities. A VSL skill and entrepreneurship training course (in combination with sanitation marketing) will increase the investment capacity of the community in a healthy environment. The CLTS approach raises awareness for sanitation and good hygiene practices in rural communities and stimulates the population to take collective action to improve their situation. A main principle of CLTS is not providing a subsidy or financial reward if a community reaches what’s called ‘100 per cent Open Defecation Free’ (ODF) status. The MUS approach makes water available for domestic as well as production purposes. People need water for drinking, cooking, washing their hands, other forms of sanitation and for watering animals, growing food and generating income. Nutrition education will improve the diet of women of a fertile age and of small children. It will do so by making women and men aware of what a good diet constitutes and of its importance. By using these different approaches in the same project, people will be motivated and able to create a healthier environment for themselves. They will also be able to invest in their own health and thus reduce child mortality. Regarding WASH, Ethiopia’s major policy frameworks are the Water Resource Management Policy, the Hygiene and Sanitation Strategy, and the Universal Access Plan. These aimed for 98 per cent access to safe water and 100 per cent sanitation coverage by 2012. And while the government made significant efforts to increase access to safe water and improve sanitation, progress still trails national targets and Millennium Development Goals. The project mirrors priorities identified by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) and the Netherlands’ Embassy in Ethiopia. More specifically, it relates to the third thematic priority of the MoFA, “Access to safe drinking water and sanitation”. The focus of MoFA and the Embassy is on creating synergies between the two main themes of water and food, which is exactly what this project is focusing on. All Plan International Ethiopia (PIE) water projects are carried out in a community-managed approach and in line with the relevant government policy. This is all a good fit with an initiative called the Health Sector Development Program (HSDP4), which has made good progress in making health services available in Ethiopia at community level. Regarding CLTS, PIE works closely with key stakeholders like the Ethiopian government and UNICEF in a Hygiene and Sanitation Taskforce and a Health and Sanitation Technical Working Group. The end beneficiaries are the 357,953 people living in the districts of Bahir Dar Zuria (191,141) and Dara (166,812). While CLTS and nutrition education components will cover all beneficiaries, the VSL component targets 60 per cent of households. Some 24,000 people will have access to clean water within 500 metres of their homes. Furthermore, about 20 households (100 people) will benefit from a nutrients recycling pilot. The activities in this project can be broken down into five clusters and these are described below. 1. VSL groups 1.1. The formation of VSL groups The VSL concept will be introduced, in which interested people will form VSL groups in each community, or Kebele. During the first phase about 32 groups will be formed, each with 15-20 members, of which at least 60 per cent will be women. The number of groups will increase during the project (see 1.4). 1.2. Training and supporting VSL groups During the first year the VSL groups will receive intensive support and training so they can function independently. During the next phase additional training will be given on topics like financial skills, business planning, agriculture, technical skills, health, nutrition and social issues like gender. 1.3. The formation of VSL networks VSL networks will form a strong organisation capable of making development plans, starting up and supporting new VSL groups, and lobbying and advocating for its members. The project will support these networks by providing training and advice to network members. 1.4. Helping VSL networks to form new VSL groups The success of the VSL system will attract new members. New groups will be supported and trained in VSL methodology by existing network members. The project will underscore this process and, for the first 32 groups, will also help provide the necessary equipment. 2. Water 2.1. The design and configuration of MUS A feasibility study will identify existing and potential water sources, as well as the needs for drinking water, hand-washing facilities, hygiene and sanitation, small-scale irrigation and for other productive uses of water. The MUS approach will be designed around this, and could include springs, hand-dug wells, minor stream diversions, rainwater-collection installations and the rehabilitation of schemes. 2.2. The construction of school and health-post water supplies To strengthen the hygiene-education component, health posts and schools will be provided with water and sanitation facilities. 2.3. Training households and communities on safe water use, hygiene awareness and behavioural change This training will be given in combination with the CLTS health and nutrition training (result 3 and 4). A condition of ODF verification is safe water handling in the household. 2.4. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Committees (WASHCO) at a community level A WASHCO will be formed for every water scheme. Its members will be the main users of the scheme and at least half of them will be women. Their main task will be operating and maintaining the water scheme. 2.5. Capacity building at Woreda level Capacity building activities at Woreda level will be carried out in collaboration with partner, SNV. Where necessary, Plan will also give additional technical training, e.g. train Woreda-level water officers in technical aspects like water quality, and provide the essential equipment. 2.6. Helping to make WASHCOs legal bodies The process of making WASHCOs legal bodies is on-going. PIE will continue to support this process. 3. Sanitation 3.1. Training community facilitators First of all, Woreda healthcare trainers will be trained and these will then train the community facilitators, who are people already working as health extension workers at community level. 3.2. Using the CLTS approach to trigger communities to wash their hands The trained community facilitators will organise several activities to increase awareness about sanitation and hygiene in the various kebeles. These kebels will make community action plans. 3.3. The construction of school latrines (ventilated and improved latrines) The project will help construct school latrines. Parent-Teacher Associations will encourage parents to help build these latrines and to do the necessary maintenance. 3.4. Post-triggering To ensure that communities can be certified as ODF, once the latrines are constructed they will be closely monitored by village sanitation committees. 3.5. Verification/certification by the “District Sanitation Committee” Communities claiming to be ODF will be verified and certified by the District Sanitation Committee. 3.6. Celebrating a community attaining ODF status A highlight of the CLTS programme will be a ceremony during which the community will show government representatives and neighbouring communities that they have constructed latrines and that their environment is now clean. 3.7. Follow up and monitoring After communities have officially become ODF, monitoring and follow-up is still necessary to ensure they don’t revert back to their old habits. 3.8. Sanitation marketing People will be trained to produce or market sanitation facilities. In every ODF community a group will be formed to market sanitation materials that improve the quality of latrines and the sustainability of sanitation and hygiene facilities. Some start-up assistance/capital will be given to the groups to help them produce these sanitatio (F) People will be encouraged to create a healthier environment for themselves and invest in their own health with local materials/capacity, but without external funding. Once WASHCOs become legal bodies, for example, they will be able to open bank accounts for money collected from water sales, which they will then be able to use for operation and maintenance. (I) The capacity of national, district and local governments will be enhanced and interventions will be harmonised with other actors. For example, once communities have officially been declared ODF, they will still need monitoring and follow-up to ensure they don’t revert to their old habits. At first, Plan staff will do this, but healthcare workers and other government employees will gradually take over. (E) A focus of the project is empowering people to invest in a healthy environment, such as by helping VSL networks at Kebele level to make business plans that take local economic and agricultural opportunities into account. Special assistance will be given to ‘green’ and ‘healthy’ business plans, such as producing wood-saving stoves and sanitation facilities. (T) The project will also use locally available materials and capacity. Water systems and latrines, for example, will be constructed in such a way that the local communities can easily manage them. (S) The project will focus on everybody in a community and on collective action. People will help other people who are more vulnerable than themselves (less abled, widows, the old, etc.), with women and children being the main end beneficiaries.

But despite the gains in laws and public policies, they are still confronted with various forms of violence and economic exclusion. Good laws and policies are not sufficient; they must be implemented and enforced adequately. The Girls Advocacy Alliance, consisting of Plan, Defence for Children International (DCI) Ghana and the Ghana NGO Coalition on the Rights of Children (GNCRC), together with CSO partners, urges government traditional leaders and private sector agents to improve the implementation of existing policies, in particular in relation to child marriage, sexual violence, commercial sexual exploitation and the access to education. The alliance started in 2016, concentrating its actions in 3 regions (Northern, Upper West, Eastern) and at national level. It supports local groups of girls and young women to influence local leaders to change negative norms and practices. Although public policies addressing gender based violence and economic exclusion have been developed by the government, they are insufficiently being implemented. This 'implementation gap' is reflected in the low budget amounts being allocated to the agencies responsible for protection and economic empowerment, inadequate coordination mechanisms, limited capacity of service providers and lack of monitoring data. The weak position of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection also inhibits effective implementation of gender equality policies. The implementation gap is caused by several factors. First, the issues of gender based violence and economic exclusion are not prioritised by the political elites and decision-makers. Second, the persistence of gender-discriminatory social norms in Ghana perpetuates the current climate in which violence against girls and women is permitted and access to justice is denied to victims. Third, there are inconsistencies between formal and customary laws which frustrate law enforcement. Fourth, civil society in Ghana is not sufficiently well organized and experiences capacity constraints in advocacy. This makes it harder to effectively hold decision-makers accountable for the lack of actions. The long-term goal of the alliance is to eliminate GBV and to increase girls’ and young women’s access to economic opportunities. In order to achieve this goal, the alliance aims to obtain the following results: 1) Key leaders promoting values against GBV and in support of economic empowerment 2) Government institutions effectively implementing the Domestic Violence Act and the national action plan against child marriage 3) Government institutions, together with private sector actors, effectively implement the national employment policy (particularly in relation to TVET provision) 4) Representative CSO networks monitor and hold government and corporate actors accountable A key intervention of the alliance entails the mobilisation of change agents in society. A strong coalition of traditional leaders, youth advocates and local organisations, is needed to exert pressure on decision-makers. The alliance members will support these coalitions in using adequate monitoring data and evidence. In addition, the members provide organisational capacity support to their civil society partners and will encourage their linkages with non-traditional actors such as private companies, religious leaders and organisations of boys and men. The Girls Advocacy Alliance programme builds upon the experiences and networks generated by the Girl Power programme which was implemented by Plan, DCI and GNCRC during the period 2010-2015. The former programme heavily invested in the development of community child protection networks which the alliance members consider as an important mechanism for continuous monitoring of girls and women’s rights at district and community level. The data obtained by these networks will be used to strengthen the advocacy messages towards district and national government agencies. The alliance members will also take advantage of their constructive relationship with the Ministry of Gender. Despite the weaknesses of this Ministry, it remains a crucial actor responsible for the promotion of girls and women’s rights in the government policies and operations. Furthermore, the alliance members and local partners will collaborate with other civil society organisations and external donors who are active in the domain of GBV and young women’s economic empowerment such as the Dutch Embassy in Ghana and the Girls Not Brides network. The direct beneficiaries are girls (10 – 18 years) and young women (18 – 24 years) living in the target areas of the programme (10 districts in 3 regions of Ghana). The population of final beneficiaries consists of all girls and young women in Ghana who benefit from better policy implementation and enforcement by relevant public and private agencies. During the last quarter of 2016, alliance members and local partners started to organise and mobilize local leaders, community organisations and groups of girls and young women in order to create a coalition of strong advocates. The following actions have been initiated: 1. Meetings with relevant stakeholders at district (10) and regional level (3 regions) to sensitize them on the GAA programme and advocacy issues 2. Coordination meetings with NGOs and other development actors engaged in the fight against child marriage and sexual violence to align ongoing initiatives 3. Identify and support existing girls and young women groups and the community child protection teams to gather data and monitor prevalence of gender based violence 4. Organize forums in each district to sensitize key traditional leaders (including female traditional leaders as the ‘queen mothers’), local council of churches, Muslims leaders on the issues of GBV and economic exclusion 5. Support the formation of boys and men’s groups to address girls’ rights and report cases of rights violations in their districts During 2017, the alliance members and local partners will support the above mentioned agents of change in order to strengthen their collaboration, improve the quality of their advocacy actions and facilitate their engagements with local, regional and national decision-making agencies. This entails the following activities: 1. Select the change agents from among key leaders, queen mothers, religions leaders, boys and men groups in each district and form a coalition at the regional level 2. Organize trainings for change agents on current law and public policies on child marriage and sexual violence 3. Conduct a quick analysis of available knowledge to understand the current norms, customs, values and traditions related to child marriage and sexual violence 4. Analyse data collected by community child protection teams and by groups of girls and women to identify gaps and weaknesses in the provision of protection services 5. Develop clear advocacy asks in collaboration with the coalition of key leaders, girls and young women groups and boys and men groups 6. Develop media programmes in partnership with local/national media which highlight the occurrence of gender based violence 7. Develop policy recommendations enabling ministries and municipal and district assemblies to monitor the prevalence of gender based violence taking into account existing child protection mechanisms and the new SDG agenda 8. Facilitate engagements between the coalition of change agents and relevant decision-makers at the regional and national house of chiefs 9. Facilitate engagements between the coalition of change agents and relevant decision-makers at the regional governments, national ministries and municipal and district assemblies 10. Organize seminars with relevant policy makers, donors and other stakeholders presenting and discussing the proposal on how to improve the monitoring of gender based violence Throughout the entire programme period, the alliance members will provide capacity development support to their local partners. Their capacity for advocacy will be strengthened through trainings, exchanges of good practices, joint learning actions and individual staff skill development actions. Based on the initial diagnosis of existing capacity and on the demand of the local partners, the capacity support will focus on: - the development of sound advocacy asks and messages - the strengthening of effective PME systems to monitor the effects of advocacy - the inclusion of girls and young women into the organisation The Girls Advocacy alliance in Ghana strives towards improved implementation of public policies which counteract gender based violence and promote the economic inclusion of girls and young women. The GAA members use the following strategies to ensure that improvements in policy implementation will be sustained in the long-term: 1. The organisational capacity support provided to civil society partners aims to strengthen their advocacy efforts in the long run; 2. The mobilization of a coalition of multiple organisations and actors (change agents) willing and able to hold government agencies accountable, will not only increase the advocacy strength of civil society but also increase the likelihood of effective collective action in the future; 3. The mobilization of groups of girls and young women and their engagement with formal as well as informal decision-makers will promote a generation of female activists and advocates; 4. Given the informal (soft) power of traditional chiefs and religious leaders in Ghana, their growing awareness and agency on issues of girls and women’s rights, will have lasting effects on the transformation of gender discriminatory norms and practices Plan International Ghana Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands SILDEP SONGTABA CCRECENT Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Democratic participation and civil society Women's equality organisations and institutions Employment policy and administrative management Ending violence against women and girls Gender Equality THRIVE - Protection LEARN - Skills opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship (SOYEE) Protection against violence (including gender based violence) Youth Economic Empowerment & Education 1713000 187409 1713000 Plan International Ghana 20000 Plan International Ghana 16882 Plan International Ghana 124121 Plan International Ghana 124122 Plan International Ghana 57875 Plan International Ghana 150000 Plan International Ghana 65000 Plan International Ghana 125000 Plan International Ghana 110000 Plan International Ghana 200000 Plan International Ghana 100000 Plan International Ghana 125000 Plan International Ghana 180000 Plan International Ghana 75000 Plan International Ghana 80000 Plan International Ghana 110000 Plan International Ghana 50000 Plan International Ghana 2080 1168 2038 1348 1152 822 710 10360 1755 1431 9152 2246 4259 6886 3444 2461 2531 3404 551 1374 11153 2253 871 1969 8391 19937 1784 1898 1710 1945 16052 10454 618 2954 -13372 2659 743 5843 2325 1315 1116 2581 4277 2044 7357 2755 8565 1743 1364 -12902 12253 1417 552 53 998 1152 1168 2323 campaigns concentrated on the elimination of child marriage in the Northern region, Upper West and the Eastern region the total number of people who have been reached by GAA through the awareness raising sessions, the launch of the documentary and radio messages # of meetings between CSOs and policy makers 29 of the implemented lobbying initiatives entailed economic empowerment issues, the remaining 33 initiatives concerned GBV issues # of research and campaign reports published by CSOs on benefits of GBV and decent work for private sector 3 reports on the access and quality of TVET services for girls and young women # of dialogues between Alliance local partners and communities, religious and traditional leaders GAA organisations have reached out to 30 traditional and religious leaders to mobilize them as 'champions of change' for the transformation of social norms around gender based violence # of dialogues between Alliance local partners and targeted CSOs A total number of 110 CSOs have been engaged by GAA in dialogues on advocating for effective implementation of public policies against GBV # of government officials sensitized on GBV and EE related issues 25 companies have been reached during the first half of 2018; 38 during the second half of 2018 NL-KVK-41198890-SSD100101 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY This one year programme started in 2015 and was a response to the worsening humanitarian situation in South Sudan. Plan implemented this project with 8 Dutch NGOs funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was a continuation of a first phase. The project provided psychosocial support to increase the coping capacity of children and youth (girls and boys, 5-18 years), including demobilised child soldiers in Pibor Centre and Gumruk affected by conflict in Jonglei. And also aimed to improve the health status of the conflict-affected populations in Pibor and Akobo through improved access to clean, safe water and latrines. Finally in line with UN standards it aimed to save lives by providing timely and integrated multi-sector assistance to reduce acute humanitarian needs among the most vulnerable people and reinforce protection and promote access to basic services for the displaced and other vulnerable people. South Sudan is on L3 response classification by the United Nations (UN). Since the fighting started in Juba in December 2013, it quickly spread to Jonglei, Unity, and Upper Nile. A total of 1.66 million people have been internally displaced to-date (out of which approximately 877,000 are children). Given that the confirmation of the exact location of IDPs is a difficult exercise due to insecurity and accessibility challenges in many parts of South Sudan, it is nonetheless estimated that at least 463,000 are in Jonglei. The UNOCHA 2015 Humanitarian Response Plan estimates that in South Sudan 6.4 million people are in need of WASH assistance. According to a rapid assessment carried out by Plan International in Akobo East in November 2015, it was found that the majority of the households rely on untreated water from unprotected sources (rivers), whereas there is limited access to protected sources (e.g. boreholes which are relatively safer). The survey also highlighted the limited availability of boreholes, with communities reporting frequent breakdowns due to over/mis-use. Additionally, approximately 80% of the households have no latrines and open field defecation is commonly practiced (SMART survey March 2015). A UN Security Council report, which was published in December 2014, stated that all parties to the conflict since December 2013 were responsible for grave violations against children. The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that 25,000 children have been separated from their families (UNOCHA, 2015), whereas 13,000 children have reportedly been recruited by armed groups since the beginning of 2014 (UNOCHA, 2015). The rapid assessment carried out by Plan International in Akobo East in November 2015 flagged rape and domestic violence as the key issues affecting women and girls. 5600 children (3200 girls and 2400 boys) affected by conflict (including demobilized child soldiers) exercise their rights through accessing and utilizing safe places. Approximately 800 children and 4200 adults (52% female) have access to clean and safe water, sanitation and hygiene facilities and have increased knowledge on key hygiene practices. The project will reach an estimated 8000 direct beneficiaries; among them 5600 children (57% girls) aged 5 to 18 years and 4.40000 people (including children) from 15 communities in Pibor and Akobo. The programmatic focus shall pay particular attention to children, women and girls due their vulnerability with regards to health care, gender based violence, and child protection risks such as child-soldier recruitment, separation from families, sexual violence, transactional sex, exploitation, among others. Children, women and girls are particularly vulnerable to the risk of infections related to the lack of water and sanitation. Target groups will be further specified during the joint needs assessment with SCI and ZOA in Akobo (Plan, SCI, ZOA) and Pibor (Plan, ZOA, TdH). This will be done in the first month of the project to identify the specific target groups. Child Protection • Construct 3 new Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) with WASH facilities and support 5 existing CFS. • Provide recreational activities for 5600 children (52% girls). • Train 40 community animators on Gender Based Violence (GBV) awareness and peace building (60% women). • Form 3 new and improve 5 existing Child Rights Clubs (children) and train 240 girls and boys on child rights (50% girls); • Referral systems developed in the 3 new payams (Gakdong, Denjok and Likuangole) and improving referral systems in 2 existing payams; • Identify separated and unaccompanied children (girls and boys) and support/refer to child protection facility (actual numbers unknown, but at least 80% of the identified children to be supported); • Identify and form 3 new functioning child protection committees (adults), improve 5 existing committees (30 per committee at least 50% female) • Procure and distribute 3 sets of recreational materials for the new Child Friendly Spaces, and replenish materials for existing 5 CFS WASH • Drill and install one (1) solar motorized water system in Pibor centre reaching 750 beneficiaries. • Rehabilitate 15 existing boreholes, benefitting approximately 5,000 people • Test and analyse water quality of 15 rehabilitated boreholes and one solar motorized water system. • Train 45 new hand pump mechanics and refresher training for 120 existing hand pump mechanics (15% female); • Establish water management committees (WMC) around 15 rehabilitated boreholes and support existing 37 WMCs (6 person/ committee, 50% female); • Train 60 community hygiene promoters in 3 new payams on basic hygiene promotion methodologies and simple messaging and refresher training for existing 74 hygiene promoters (70% female) • Provide hand pump repair tools and spare parts for 15 rehabilitated boreholes and one solar motorized system • Distribute hygiene kits to 2,000 vulnerable women and girls from the IDPs and host communities; In order to promote resilience, sustainability and community ownership of the project 3 hand pump mechanics and 6 water point management committee members will be trained at each water point. Repair kits and tools will also be given to community.

It has led to alarming rates of malnutrition, which has had devastating effects on incomes across many regions of the country. This project (16 June 2016 – 16 December 2016) will help save the lives of the most vulnerable people affected by the resulting drought and food-security crisis. It is a joint effort between Plan and other member organisations of the Dutch Relief Alliance, with Plan providing nutrition security support in Dara, Telemt and Bugna districts. Plan approaches its emergency response activities as an initial step towards sustainable development. The proposed interventions will be linked with the existing government programmes to provide long-term support services to communities in the targeted districts. Delayed and sporadic rainfall has resulted in very poor crop performance in several districts of Ethiopia this year, with yields between 47.2 and 95 per cent lower. This has worsened chronic food insecurity and malnutrition in large parts of the country. It’s estimated that over 315,000 people will need emergency food assistance in the Wag-himra region until the next production season. The districts targeted by the project have the highest populations in acute need of emergency interventions. The Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a government-led programme that addresses persistent chronic food insecurity but the food aid it provides can only partially support and meet the needs of households there. The targeted districts have the highest priority, which is why the government of Ethiopia has recommended that emergency food and nutrition support be provided in these districts. This will save the lives of children most affected by severe malnutrition and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. Households headed by women are particularly badly affected by food insecurity, because women often have to care of children but have limited control or access to assets, resources and income. The remote geographic location of the targeted districts means the communities are difficult to reach. What’s more, Plan is the only NGO operating there. Additionally, poverty, ignorance, and poor child-feeding practices are worsening the situation in the project areas. Providing life-saving support (food and medication) to children younger than five and to pregnant and lactating women (PLW) suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) will increase their chances of surviving. Additionally, by training healthcare workers in the management of malnutrition they will be able to provide the necessary support to the beneficiaries of the project. Due to the remoteness of the targeted districts, Plan is the only NGO working in this part of Ethiopia. With its PSNP, the government of Ethiopia is providing food and nutrition security support to vulnerable households in these areas. However, because of the prolonged period of hunger caused by lower yields during recent crop seasons, the shortfall in food cannot be fully compensated for by this government-led programme. It is therefore crucial that Plan provides the necessary support. The emergency nutrition intervention of this project will benefit over 8,000 children aged 6-59 months with SAM and MAM, and over 7,000 PLW with MAM. The activities in this project will tackle this problem in two main ways that are described below. Firstly, it will provide much-needed nutrition and life-saving support for children and PLW by: • transporting supplementary food to distribution sites and distributing the food to the beneficiaries every month; • helping to transport the associated ready-to-use supplies to district health offices, stabilisation centres and health posts; and • buying routine medication for children admitted to outpatient therapeutic programmes and/or stabilisation centres. Secondly, it will improve the knowledge and skills of health professionals and community workers in the management of SAM by: • providing basic and refresher trainings on managing SAM for Ministry of Health staff, health extension workers and health workers; and • providing infant and young-child feeding training to health extension and health workers. The project is being implemented in collaboration with communities and the local and national governments. Its sustainability will be underscored by on-the-job training for health professionals that focus on the proper management of SAM and MAM cases, data management and reporting, community outreach activities, and strengthening referral systems and linkages. Plan will provide a training of trainers on nutrition and livelihoods to relevant government officials and Plan field staff. Additionally, officials in local government sectors and community representatives will be involved in monitoring, joint supervision and end-line review meetings. The community is directly supporting the intervention by providing pack animals for transport of supplies, and therefore creating ownership and ensuring sustainability.

This project, which is being carried out by Plan and its partner Association of European Parliamentarians with Africa (AWEPA), aims to eradicate this practice in Sudan within a generation. To underscore the kind of optimum outcomes that will be crucial for the permanent eradication of FGM/C, this project is being carried out at individual, community and institutional levels. It teaches communities about girls’ rights and that FGM/C is illegal. It also encourages local organisations like youth and women’s groups to challenge norms and attitudes, and it supports parliamentarians in implementing effective legislation. The project, which started in January 2014 and will run till December 2017, is part of the O2P (Obligation to Protect) programme that’s being implemented in Sudan, Egypt, Kenya and Ethiopia. FGM/C is a violation of human rights and an extreme form of violence and discrimination against women. It involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other types of injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is viewed as a traditional practice, regardless of the fact it is very painful and risky for the health of girls and women. It can also cause many complications during menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, and can even result in death. FGM/C is practiced in its severest form in the White Nile State In Sudan, where its prevalence is over 80 per cent. About 22% of prenatal deaths in infants born to women with FGM/C can be attributed to it. The practice still goes on because of traditional beliefs about controlling female sexuality, social pressure and the importance of initiation rites. It is mainly the girls’ grandmothers and religious figures that ensure the practice is continued. Males in the family are sometimes not even aware that it goes on. To eliminate FGM/C, the social norms and values that fuel its continuation must be changed. Furthermore, legislation against FGM/C must be improved and enforced. Men and boys will have to lobby for this and girls must be empowered to stand up for their sexual and reproductive health rights, and supported in doing so too. Individuals and local organisations are being trained to act as human rights defenders, meaning the project is tackling FGM/C at individual, community and institutional levels. In the context of this project: - people, including girls, boys, local youth and women’s groups are being empowered to oppose these violations and are being trained as human rights defenders; - local development organisations, women groups and agents of change are lobbying to change the norms and values that justify and continue these harmful practices - the legal and protection systems of counties in Sudan are being strengthened and parliamentarians are being influenced. All activities in the project are inter-connected. Individual and community initiatives are being supported by a legal framework and local organisations are playing a watchdog role in case of violations that have already happened or are about happen, and take the necessary actions against these violations. The Netherlands' Embassy in Sudan supports the promotion and protection of human rights, giving priority to the defenders of human rights, and underscoring the freedom of the media and gender equality. The UNICEF/UNFPA Joint Programme against FGM/C is strengthening the structure of the government at national and regional levels, while this project works at community level and targets groups that are not covered by the above-mentioned initiatives, namely: girls, boys, local organisations and parliamentarians. White Nile State is a region of Sudan in which FGM/C has not yet ben tackled by stakeholders, such as UNICEF, even though its practice there is alarmingly high. Some 50,000 girls, 15,000 women, 45,000 boys and 20,000 men between the ages of 10 and 18 in White Nile State will benefit from this project. The girls have been identified by Plan as vulnerable to FGM/C. The boys are important because they are seen as the defenders and future guardians of the changed social norms and for the elimination of FGM/C. The project’s activities are at three levels. Individual level - Trainers trained in 4 days on the Saleema manual and guidelines for 80 community promoters and change agents (grandmothers, midwives, religious leaders and village elders) in two workshops (for 48 participants from eight localities). - 4 exchange visits and 10 community members shown around model villages in which FGM/C has been stopped. - Annual seminars in eight localities to discuss FGM/C attended by 10 key community and tribal leaders and relevant local-level commissioners. -Sixteen girls’ clubs, youth clubs and other associations trained on FGM/C, child rights, drama and theatre communication and support these 80 participants to serve as community agents among their peers. Community level - At national level six workshops for religious institutes, and at state level four workshops for 300 persons. - Two trainings on advocacy and policy analysis and legislation for 60 representatives from local organisations on women and children’s rights, academics, and journalists. -One training for 50 youth representatives on human rights frameworks on FGM/C, the role of children’s parliament members and youth parliament at White Nile State level. - Interaction on FGM/C between the children’s parliament and the legislative council during the International FGM/C eradication day celebration and the Zero Tolerance to Sexual and Gender Based Violence campaign at White Nile level. For 60 members of the children’s parliament and 40 from the youth parliament. Institutional level - A workshop for the National Council for Child Welfare (NCCW), being the legislative department of the Ministry of Justice and Women’s Centre for Human rights for follow up commitments made in the international conference in the Great Lakes on Sexual and Gender Based Violence and the UN declaration on FGM/C. -Training on lobbying in legislative proces for (mainly female) parliamentarians and legislators at state and national levels. By changing social norms this project is driving a permanent change in the way people see FGM/C. Once social norms in a community change, that change is usually irreversible, meaning FGM/C prevalence rates will continue to drop after the project has ended. By connecting and strengthening local organisations, youth groups and women’s groups, the project is installing structures that will remain in place after its completion. These organisations are acting in networks to jointly influence change at government and national levels. Furthermore, By creating safe spaces for girls and young women, they will be able to discuss their problems and get the support they need to claim their rights. The project is also strengthening the linkages between the various types of change makers. This will improve cooperation in stopping FGM/C and give girls and young women access to important actors at local, state/district and even national level. Once they are adopted, specific legislation and policies on FGM/C will continue to be effective. By training parliamentarians and improving the relationship they have with the communities, these parliamentarians will get a better overview of how laws are implemented and the impact that the laws have. This, in turn, will have a structurally beneficial impact on girls and young women in those communities.

With this project, by changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, adolescents will be empowered to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project will give adolescents alternatives beyond EM, teenage pregnancies and FGM/C. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Nederland, together with partners Amref, Rutgers, Choice, KIT and the Netherlands Embassy in Addis Ababa and will be carried out in Ethiopia, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Indonesia and Pakistan as well. Deep-rooted norms and expectations of girls and boys makes families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off and forcing them to undergo FGM/C. Gender inequality is putting girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships. For example, girls cannot refuse to have unprotected sex and this is resulting in a high level of teenage pregnancies. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves are limited and they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRH information and services. There are close links between EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies and girls’ lack of education. Indeed, girls’ access to education is very restricted, which makes it difficult for them to find jobs later. It also hampers their economic independence. Legislation to outlaw FGM/C is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies have similar root causes and these practices mutually reinforce one another. Social and gender norms are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people, including boys and men, support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies. A general lack of information about SRH and poor quality and access to the relevant services are perpetuating the above-mentioned problems. Adolescent boys and girls are being informed about SRH and given a voice to claim this information and these services. Girls are being given more control over their lives. This is being achieved by changing these norms and people’s behaviour, strengthening networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedding these in communities, and by involving the government and the private sector in improving SRH and services. All these will help to reduce EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies. This programme is a follow up of the Plan regional EM programme (18+) in Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique, in which adolescents are being trained as agents of change to make their voice heard in claiming their SRH. The programme is being implemented by the Yes I Do alliance in which each partner is adding value by implementing part of one or more of the intervention strategies. Kenya was selected based upon on-going programmes of the alliance partners on FGM/C, EM and teenage pregnancies in the respective countries. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried. During the inception phase a country-specific plan has been developed based on the overall intervention strategies and target groups and final beneficiaries have been identified. These will be represented here in the near future. These will be represented here in the near future.

At baseline safety out-of-school was an issue, because of the long distance from school to the homes and some girls when returning from school. At midline most girls reported that their school environment was safe and walking distance was a lot shorter in this community. There were no animals that could threaten their safety and crime rates were also low. Some respondents indicated that they feel safe at school and that they were not sexually harassed. Some boys entered a boarding school for girls, but were caught in time. At midline we heard less about rape as compared to the qualitative baseline. Although a gang rape case was mentioned and practices of communal virginity breaking exist. Ignorance was high among the four boys who raped a girl . At midline it was reported that some teachers sexually engage with girls, so in that sense security is affected. These teachers are often young, like 18 years –old who have finished high school and have to teach because there are not enough qualified government teachers available.

Most girls can’t resist the decisions made by their parents. Girls who are in post-primary school are less restricted and can decide more on their own. Some post-primary school level are guided whom to marry, but some girls can decide for themselves who to marry. Other observations are that some girls run to a rescue centre or see a teacher or chief to report that they have to go through FGM/C or forced marriage, and ask for help. Some rescue centres also provide scholarships to girls to receive financial assistance.

Particular emphasis is being placed on improving policies and practices for the elimination of violence against girls and women and ending their economic exclusion. In Kenya, the Girls Advocacy Alliance is implemented by Plan Kenya and Terre des Hommes. Since January 2016, lobby and advocacy activities are being implemented in two districts – Kisumu County and Nairobi – and run until 2020. The Alliance works together with adolescent girls and young women in targeting key decision makers, leaders and communities to eliminate child trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) and child marriage, and contributes to decent work. Child trafficking is mainly for purposes of child labour (mainly domestic, farm labour, and increasingly in mine and oil fields - though not in direct extraction of the minerals and oil, especially with the big mining and oil drilling companies) and sexual exploitation. According to US State Department Trafficking In Person’s Report (2015), Kenya is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labour and sexual exploitation. Trafficking in Kenya can be divided into two domains, internal/domestic and international trafficking. According to National Crime Research Centre 2015 Human Trafficking report, most of the victims in domestic trafficking are sourced from rural areas and majority of those trafficked out of the country are sourced from urban areas (especially, low income areas and informal settlements), with girls forming the majority. Every year, about 14 million adolescent and teen girls are married, almost always forced into the arrangement by their parents. In developing countries, one in three girls is married by age 18; and one in nine by age 15. According to the latest UNFPA reports, one out of four girls are married before their 18th birthday in Kenya. In 2009, about 26% of the women aged 20-24 were married/in union before age of 18 years. Data shows very slow decline since 2003 (25%). Victims of these three forms of GBV selected by the Alliance in Kenya are mostly adolescent girls and young women from poor backgrounds in rural areas and urban informal settlements. These girls also have limited access to education opportunities and majority have had only primary level education (if at all, since some drop out of school before getting to the final grade of primary education). There is evidence that the gender gap in access to education is not closing. The Theory of Change for the Girls Advocacy Programme in Kenya follows four interrelated paths. Three of these lead to legislation, understanding, adherence and monitoring of public and private policies and practices regarding violence against girls and young women and their economic empowerment. Each focuses on a specific type of actor: (1) government officials at national, state, province, district and community level, and representatives of customary systems; (2) private sector actors; and (3) girls’ and women’s organisations and other CSOs and CSO networks with enhanced organisational and advocacy capacity. The fourth path leads to the abandonment of social norms and practices that discriminate against gender and to the change of deeply rooted and widely upheld beliefs that negatively affect policy makers, local government officials, local courts and/or service providers’ willingness to adopt and implement gender equality policies. The main actors are community, traditional and religious leaders and other key opinion leaders. Each of the paths will entail three levels of change: agenda setting, policy setting and, ultimately, changes in practices. The Girls Advocacy Programme builds on the outcomes realised, lessons learned and relationships built up by the three alliance organisations during various programmes. The Girl Power Programme focused on the political and economic empowerment of girls and young women, making them better protected against sexual and other forms of gender-based violence and improving their access to secondary education. The Girls Advocacy Programme will build on the thematic and strategic expertise and experience that was gained during the Girl Power Programme, including partnering, networking and lobbying and advocacy. The end beneficiaries of the Girls Advocacy Programme of Plan in Kenya will be girls and young women (up to the age of 24) in Kisumu county and Nairobi. The programme focuses on four strategic goals. 1. Public support for the elimination of gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 2. The influence of civil society organisations and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations) on governmental and corporate/private-sector actors to eliminate gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 3. The policies and practices of corporate/private-sector actors that support the elimination of gender-based violence and economic exclusion, will be improved. 4. Legislation and public policies, as well as improved practices of governmental actors, that support the prevention of gender-based violence and economic exclusion, will be effectively implemented. The programme embraces two main strategies. The first of these involves strengthening CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations). This will make them better able to influence government and private-sector actors to eliminate gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women. The second of these strategies entails policy influencing for increased public support, improved policies and practices of private-sector actors, as well as for the effective implementation of legislation and public policies and the improvement of practices of governmental actors that support the prevention and elimination of gender-based violence and economic exclusion. Specific strategies for policy influencing are lobby, advocacy (including media campaigns and ICT), research and linking & networking. The changes that will be instigated by the Girls Advocacy Programme in Kenya will be sustainable. The main strategies of the programme, which are capacity development and policy influencing, will both underscore sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be ensured by the programme’s focus on capacity strengthening of all local partner organisations. This will be based on carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and then annual assessments of the progress on custom developed capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the programme’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change it will initiate, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the life of the programme. These aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening trajectories that will be developed and rolled out with all local partner organisations. Inclusivity is an important principle of the programme and this will also be embedded in the capacity-development activities.

This project, which is being carried out by Plan and its partner, Association of European Parliamentarians with Africa (AWEPA), aims to eradicate this practice within a generation in selected communities in Tharaka-Nithi county, Kenya. To underscore the kind of optimum outcomes that will be crucial for the permanent eradication of FMG/C the project is being carried out at individual, community and institutional levels. It teaches communities about girls’ rights and that FGM/C is illegal. It also encourages local organisations like youth and women’s groups to challenge norms and attitudes and it supports parliamentarians in implementing effective legislation. This four-year project started in January 2014 and is part of a bigger programme that is being carried out in four countries (Egypt, Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia). FGM/C is a violation of human rights and an extreme form of violence and discrimination against girls and women. It involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other types of injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is viewed as a traditional practice, despite it being very painful and risky for the health of girls and women. It can also cause many complications during menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, and can even sometimes result in death. Although FGM/C is against the law in Kenya, in rural areas of the country there are insufficient resources and support to enforce the law. Furthermore, the infrastructure to protect girls and boys from violence is weak. In Kenya as a whole, 27.1 per cent of women are subjected to FMG/C, but this percentage is higher among certain tribes and ethnic groups. In Tharaka-Nithi county 58 per cent of girls between the ages of 7 and 17 are subjected to it. The practice is deeply rooted in the local society and is usually carried out by family or community members. They see FGM/C as a necessary step towards social acceptance and as a rite of passage for girls. To eliminate FGM/C, the social norms and values that fuel its continuation must be changed. Furthermore, legislation against FGM/C must be improved and enforced. Men and boys will have to lobby for this and girls must be empowered to stand up for their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) rights, and supported in doing so too. Individuals and local organisations are being trained to act as human rights defenders, meaning the project is tackling FGM/C at individual, community and institutional levels. In the context of this project: - people, including girls, boys, and local youth and women’s groups, are being empowered to oppose these violations and are being trained as human rights defenders; - local development organisations, women’s groups and agents of change are lobbying to change the norms and values that justify and continue this harmful practice; - legal and protection systems in the affected counties in Egypt are being strengthened and parliamentarians are being influenced. All activities in the project are inter-connected. Individual and community initiatives are being supported by a legal framework. Local organisations are playing a watchdog role in the case of violations that have already happened or are about to happen, and taking the necessary actions against these violations. In Kenya the UNICEF/UNFPA joint programme against FGM/C is strengthening the structure of the government at both national and regional levels. This project also works at community level and targets groups that are not yet covered by the above-mentioned initiatives, namely: girls, boys and local organisations and parliamentarians. In addition to all this, the project complements existing Plan projects, making it possible to build on earlier successes, such as working with previously trained stakeholders and community structures. Some 45,000 girls and 50,000 boys between the ages of 10 and 18 in Tharaka-Nithi county will benefit from this project. The girls have been identified by Plan as being vulnerable to FGM/C. The boys are also important because they are seen as the defenders and future guardians of the changed social norms and the eradication of FGM/C. The project’s activities are described below at three levels. At individual level the project entails: - the organisation of 16 dialogue sessions for 50 women, men, boys and girls on the risks and dangers of FGM/C and the (SRH) rights of girls and young women. FGM/C impacts the complete physical, mental and social well-being of girls and women, including their (future) sex lives, their ability to have children and their own freedom to decide about these issues (FGM/C is strongly linked to gender inequality and therefore to unequal rights within societies); - the organisation of children’s rights debates in 40 primary schools to discuss FGM/C, (SRH) rights issues and violence against women and girls; - five days training for 60 women’s groups to explore how funding and alternative sources of income can be found for the people who practice (FMG/C); - developing information and educational materials on the eradication of FGM/C (such as T-shirts, posters, banners, brochures and flyers). At community level the project entails: - a five-day training of 180 paralegals on the prosecution of children’s-rights violations like FGM/C; - two training sessions for 80 local organisations, such as women’s groups, to include the eradication of FGM/C in all aspects of their work; - three-monthly forums with stakeholders, such as local organisations, women’s and youth groups, in which best practices and lessons are shared and new strategies are jointly developed. At institutional level the project entails: - 16 sessions targeting political leaders at county and national levels to influence legislation on FGM/C and develop specific laws both in both county and national legislation; - five annual sessions on existing legal instruments for tackling FGM/C for national parliamentarians and local chiefs to explain relevant conventions, the constitution, the Children’s Act 2001 and the Sexual Offences Act 2006; - the training of approximately 1,000 law enforcers, such as provincial administrators and the police, on relevant legislation that outlaws FGM/C; - arranging exchange visits to surrounding counties for five members of the national government and five members of the Tharaka-Nithi county government, to exchange successes and ideas to improve the enforcement of the relevant laws and policies; - organising three outreach visits to Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan, for a delegation of five members of the national government to exchange successes and ideas to improve the enforcement of the relevant laws and policies; - organising advocacy activities to exploit opportunities to lobby members of the national government to stop FGM/C. Furthermore, the fact that FGM/C is a violation of human rights is being reinforced through the following media activities: - monthly, interactive, live radio talk shows by local radio stations on the effects of FGM/C, as well as the demystification of myths that help to continue the practice in Tharaka-Nithi county. These radio shows target some 15,000 women, 20,000 men, 50,000 boys and 45,000 girls; - using traditional folk media, such as community theatre shows, dancing and singing performances to carry out 50 community campaigns using songs, drama, sketches and dance to share health messages related to FGM/C, violence against women and girls and children’s rights; - using texting and mobile phone apps to raise awareness and report cases of FGM/C and violence against girls and young women; - developing and using a mobile phone app that enables parliamentarians to access information on relevant legislation, best practices, reported cases of violence and FGM/C. The app is also available for boys, girls and local organisations involved in the project. By changing social norms, this project is driving a permanent change in the way people see FGM/C. Once social norms in a community change, that change is usually irreversible, meaning that, thanks to this project, FGM/C prevalence rates will continue to drop after it has ended. By connecting and strengthening local organisations, youth groups and women groups, the project is installing structures that will remain in place after its completion. These organisations are acting in networks to jointly influence change at county and national levels. Furthermore, by creating safe spaces for girls and young women they will be able to discuss their problems and get the support they need to claim their rights. The project is also strengthening the linkages between the various types of change makers. This will improve cooperation in stopping FGM/C and give girls and young women access to important actors at local, state/district and even national levels. Defending human rights and using parliamentarians in Kenya is taking more time and effort than was expected. Both girls and boys are being trained as agents of change, but more efforts will be needed if they are to become the defenders of human rights. These are lessons we would like to explore in more detail in the mid-term review (MTR) of this project. In the first year of the project 1,300 T-shirts with anti-FGM/C sentiments were produced by Plan and the National Anti-FGM board. They were distributed during the International Day Of The Girl Child, 16 Days Of Activism and the Plan and Anti-FGM Board county campaign. A flyer explaining the programme in Kenya and the other three countries in which it is being implemented was distributed, including background information about Plan and AWEPA. The flyer was distributed during events, such as Zero Tolerance Day 2014, The Lifting the Veil expert meeting 2015 and the 2015 “Afrika Dag”. The project was supported by two TV documentaries and a live talk-show interview that was broadcast by three Kenyan TV stations (K24, QTV and NTV).

The program started in January 2016, runs for five years and operates at the regional level of Asia and South East Asia. It aims to strengthen the capacity of these regional partners to advocate at their level for the effective implementation of regional treaties around child marriage, child trafficking, economic inclusion and decent work. The intervention strategies of lobby and advocacy, network and linking, capacity development support and research aim to generate greater awareness, willingness and capacity of the regional bodies to monitor member states’ compliance with the regional treaties. Girls and young women in Asia still face enormous challenges around issues related to child marriage, child trafficking, economic exclusion and Decent Work. Regional bodies such as the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), the ASEAN/AEC and ADB have put in place policies of which most are mere tools on paper only. The GAA will lobby for the effective execution of laws and public policies that address GBV and (cross-border) labour exploitation national member states governments within SAARC and ASEAN and the corporate sector. Gender based violence, child marriages, child trafficking, economic exclusion happens at community and national levels. However, all these issues are increasingly happening across national borders therefore requiring a mix of national and regional interventions and remedies in order to prevent and curb their occurrences. By supporting regional civil society organisations and strengthening their networks, advocacy efforts will become more effective. Well-coordinated advocacy campaigns ensure that gender based violence issues gain priority on the public and political agenda. Continuous civil society engagement and monitoring of policy commitments forces decision-makers at regional and national levels to translate commitments into actions plans, budgets, and improved service delivery. Coordination between regional organisations with different expertise in gender based violence issues, involving women’s, girls, boys’ and men’s organisations and traditional and religious leaders will increase public awareness and norms change. Furthermore, the alliance members and their regional civil society partners will support regional bodies such as the SAARC, SAIEVAC, ASEAN/AEC, and ADB (EAC) in their efforts to improve harmonization of legal frameworks and policies and monitoring and accountability practices between member states governments represented within SAARC and ASEAN to address economic exclusion and reduction of GBV, specifically child marriage, trafficking of Asia’s girls and young women . Expansion of multinational corporate practices that prioritize decent work for young women in Asia. Increased capacity of regional civil society actors and networks to advocate and influence the regional bodies SAARC, ASEAN/AEC and ADB, respective governments, and corporate actors on policies, practices and legal frameworks for the prevention and reduction of GBV and economic exclusion of Asia’s girls and young women. The Alliance of partner organisation working on this project is made up of ECPAT, Plan International and Terre des Hommes. Each of them is coming to the alliance with a range of strengths and different areas of expertise, thereby complementing each other. Plan has expertise in the thematic areas of gender, child rights, ending child marriages, decent work, treaty reporting and civil society mobilisation, capacity strengthening and support. Plan also has many years of experience of doing advocacy with regional bodies. Terre des Hommes has expertise in the thematic areas of child trafficking and CSEC and is currently implementing other programmes that include direct services which will be complementary to the advocacy element of this programme. Terre des Hommes is experienced in capacity building of civil society partners on CSEC and child trafficking and working through civil society partners in the implementation of projects. The final beneficiaries of this program are girls and young women in the age group of 15 -24 years who will benefit from improved implementation of national laws and policies on child marriage, child trafficking, economic exclusion by Asian member states of SAARC, ASEAN/AEC and of regional economic communities such as AEC. A detailed advocacy action plan for 2018 is currently being developed.

In Bangladesh it is implemented by Plan International Bangladesh and Terre des Hommes Bangladesh. It started in January 2016 and runs for 5 years. The implementation areas are Dhaka, Rangpur, Bagherhat, Patuakhali, Rajshahi, Barisal and Satkhira districts and the national level of Bangladesh. The program works together with local partners such as INCIDIN Bangladesh, CPD, ASK, ACD, AVAS, BSCAN, Change Associates, We Can, RDRS and NGFAF. Thematic areas are combatting child trafficking, online sexual abuse and exploitations, child marriage and sexual harassment at the workplace using the intervention strategies lobby, advocacy, campaigning, capacity building, linkage and networking and research. Violence against girls and young women and the denial of their economic rights stand in the way of achieving meaningful gender equality. Serious violations of these human rights are affecting millions of girls and young women. Societies pay a high price for not tackling these issues. Despite being one of the major work forces in Bangladesh women are deprived from their right to equal pay. Survey of the ready-made garment industry indicate that most female workers are unaware of their legal rights, 42% of the female workers are paid less than the minimum wage and do not claim labour rights. In rural areas, 83% of the employed women aged 15 years and over are engaged as unpaid helpers. Socio-cultural norms support women staying at home, rather than pursuing a career. Rates of Child Marriage and adolescent motherhood are among the highest in the world. Despite the fact that according to the CM Act 1929, the legal marriage is 18 for girls, 75% of the women aged 20-29 were married before the age of18. Eve teasing, which is sexual harassment in public places, is one of the major causes of adolescent girl’s marriage and dropout from school. Research has shown that 91% of the women are victim of eve teasing; out of these 87% incidents in the ag level of 10 to 18 years. Approximately 2 million women and children have bee trafficked o the Middle East, about 20.000 women and girls from Bangladesh are trafficked to Pakistan each year, mainly for the purpose of sexual exploitation. The Theory of Change for the Girls Advocacy Programme in Plan Bangladesh follows four interrelated paths. Three of these lead to legislation, understanding, adherence and monitoring of public and private policies and practices regarding violence against girls and young women and their economic empowerment. Each focuses on a specific type of actor: (1) government officials at national, state, province, district and community level, and representatives of customary systems; (2) private sector actors; and (3) girls’ and women’s organisations and other CSOs and CSO networks with enhanced organisational and advocacy capacity. The fourth path leads to the abandonment of social norms and practices that discriminate against gender and to the change of deeply rooted and widely upheld beliefs that negatively affect policy makers, local government officials, local courts and/or service providers’ willingness to adopt and implement gender equality policies. The main actors are community, traditional and religious leaders and other key opinion leaders. Each of the paths will entail three levels of change: agenda setting, policy setting and, ultimately, changes in practices. The Girls Advocacy Programme builds on the outcomes realised, lessons learned and relationships built up by the three alliance organisations during various programmes. An example in Bangladesh is the Girl Power Programme that was implemented from 2011 till 2015 by an alliance of six Dutch NGOs, including lead organisations Plan Nederland and Defence for Children – ECPAT Nederland. The Girl Power Programme focused on the political and economic empowerment of girls and young women, making them better protected against sexual and other forms of gender-based violence and improving their access to secondary education. The Girls Advocacy Programme will build on the thematic and strategic expertise and experience that was gained during the Girl Power Programme, including partnering, networking and lobbying and advocacy. In Bangladesh moreover, the Girls Advocacy Programme will build directly on results of Girl Power projects and the processes of change to which that programme contributed. Examples of these include the adoption of the Sexual Offences Act. The end beneficiaries of the Girls Advocacy Programme of Plan in Bangladesh will be girls and young women (up to the age of 24) in a yet to be selected number of districts. In April 2016 the inception workshop takes place which includes the participation of the Alliance partners, Plan Bangladesh and Terre des Hommes Bangladesh, the shortlisted implementation partners, government officials and officials from the Dutch Embassy in Dhaka and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague. Objectives of the inception workshop will be to fine tune the Theory of Change and to develop the Country Action Plan for the first 1.5 years. In May 2016 the assessment and contracting of the implementing partners will be finalised. The programme focuses on four strategic goals. 1. Public support for the elimination of gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 2. The influence of civil society organisations and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations) on governmental and corporate/private-sector actors to eliminate gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 3. The policies and practices of corporate/private-sector actors that support the elimination of gender-based violence and economic exclusion, will be improved. 4. Legislation and public policies, as well as improved practices of governmental actors, that support the prevention of gender-based violence and economic exclusion, will be effectively implemented. The programme embraces two main strategies. The first of these involves strengthening CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations). This will make them better able to influence government and private-sector actors to eliminate gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women. The second of these strategies entails policy influencing for increased public support, improved policies and practices of private-sector actors, as well as for the effective implementation of legislation and public policies and the improvement of practices of governmental actors that support the prevention and elimination of gender-based violence and economic exclusion. Specific strategies for policy influencing are lobby, advocacy (including media campaigns and ICT), research and linking & networking. The changes that will be instigated by the Girls Advocacy Programme in Bangladesh will be sustainable. The main strategies of the programme, which are capacity development and policy influencing, will both underscore sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be ensured by the programme’s focus on capacity strengthening of all local partner organisations. This will be based on carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and then annual assessments of the progress on custom developed capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the programme’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change it will initiate, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the life of the programme. These aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening trajectories that will be developed and rolled out with all local partner organisations. Inclusivity is an important principle of the programme and this will also be embedded in the capacity-development activities.

The project equipped young people with the skills and opportunities to engage in enterprise and employment in the region of Pernambuco (Northeast Brazil). In 3 years, 1.621 disadvantaged youth (60% women) completed life skills, business and market-driven vocational trainings. 839 of them moved on to decent work - either in a job or by establishing/strengthening their own businesses. This ensured future economic security for themselves and their families. This project in Brazil was supported by Plan’s Regional Office of the Americas (ROA) with technical assistance and (academic) research. Furthermore, 21 companies engaged with the project, 34 mentors supported the young participants and at least 750 young people participated in the alumni network. With youth in Latin America accounting for nearly one third of the population, they should be a major driver of regional economic growth. However, decent job opportunities remain inaccessible for large number of young underprivileged people, maintaining the cycle of poverty. The most important obstacles for inserting these youth into the labour market are their lack of professional qualifications and the requirement of prior experience. Young women face additional hurdles such as persistent gender stereotypes, discriminatory practices and adolescent pregnancy. Social instability in target areas characterized by social and gender-based violence, displacement, over-population, lack of formal jobs and weak local economies, further limit business and entrepreneurial opportunities, fuelling many youth to engage in illicit activities. By given life-skills training and market-driven (based on a market scan) technical training to young people, they acquire the necessary skills to enter the job market as employees or entrepreneurs. By engaging companies for the development of training content and understanding their needs and expectations regarding future employees, the project facilitates the transit of vulnerable young people to decent jobs. Once these young people have the right skills and are either working or running their own business, they will be able to earn a decent income for themselves and their families. Due to deficiencies in education quality, and youth’s limited access to business networks, financial services and productive assets, a wide gap remains between the market demand and the provision of well-trained workers. Existing governmental training institutes cannot bridge the skills gap by technical trainings alone; soft skills trainings and post-graduate job insertion has proven to be essential for successful employment of youth. The final beneficiaries are 1.621 vulnerable young people (aged between 17 and 30) where 60% are young women. The targeted youth have little or no job experience or are currently out of a formal job, in situations of social vulnerability, and with minimum educational attainment to access technical training. The project consists of three components that mutually reinforce each other: Component 1- Private Sector Engagement and Youth Employment Enabler Networks: consisted on the creation of shared value implementation approaches and partnerships (so called Smart Business Alliance) with companies, governmental organisations, training partners and community-based organizations. Component 2- Training, Placement & Start-up: included the recruitment of young participants followed by skills training (vocational, technical, entrepreneurship and/or life skills), mentoring, work readiness support and transition to decent work. Component 3- Research and Evidence Gathering: aimed to address the demand for applied research on good practices within Youth Empowerment Solution (YES) programs and to enable further up-scaling and replication in Latin America. Plan’s project aimed to fill in the gap between offer and demand in the labour market by engaging the private sector in the development of curricula and training the targeted youth with the skills and knowledge demanded by them. The project provided not only technical/vocational and entrepreneurship trainings, but also coaching, life skills trainings and work readiness support. The project ensured also that the targeted youth were placed in jobs or supported to start their own businesses. Smart business alliances were established to promote employment and business opportunities for vulnerable youth and create awareness about gender equality. Also alumni network were established to stay in touch with the youth and follow-up their personal and professional development after completion of the training program. Furthermore a business case was developed with one private partner to show how the project has benefited both the young people and the private partner based on economic and social indicators. The project achieved sustainability by focusing in vulnerable youth in the region of Pernambuco, improving their personal attitude and self-esteem and equipping them with technical and life skills to contribute to their economic security and therefore also financial sustainability for their families. By establishing strong networks with training providers, governmental organisations in charge of youth employment, private sectors entities and individual companies, the project secured the long-term institutional engagement of key stakeholders to implement youth economic empowerment programs beyond the project.

To increase the socioeconomic integration of vulnerable youth in Salvador and Camaçari in Bahia State, the project is working on providing market relevant vocational training and life skills. The aim is to increase the chances of 1,200 young people (between 17-24 years old, 60 per cent female) to find formal employment or to become an entrepreneur. The project is implemented by Plan International Brazil from March 2015 till August 2018. The municipalities Salvador and Camaçari in Bahia State are facing the highest youth unemployment rate. Among young people (from 15-24) from Metropolitan Region of Salvador, 13% are not working or studying, and are vulnerable to poverty, violence and social exclusion. The peripheral and semi-urban areas of Salvador have high levels of violence and drug use, and limited public services for education, health and social services. Secondary education is often not providing youth with relevant skills and abilities to access and remain in the labor market. Existing vocational training is based on supply and not on demand; the training centers are not able to address the actual market demands. Next to that, young people often drop out of regular education due to poverty and the urgent need to obtain income; long term career perspective and vision is lacking. Plan International intends to address the problem of youth unemployment and social exclusion, by providing vocational and life skills training based on market demands in the metropolitan region of Salvador. The project "Bridges for the Future: Employment Solutions for youth at-risk " has been designed with the general objective of contributing to the socio-economic integration of vulnerable young people, and consequently their communities. The specific objective of the project is to ensure Decent Work for vulnerable young people in the municipalities of Salvador and Camaçari, in the formal employment sector or through small for-profit enterprises. General objective: To increase the socio-economic integration of vulnerable young people in a in the metropolitan region of Salvador. Specific objective: Ensure Decent Work for vulnerable young people in the municipalities of Salvador and Camaçari, in the formal employment sector or through small companies, by providing market relevant technical training and life skills training. Outcome 1: 1,200 young people have benefited from technical training vocational training and life skills training, 75% of which are absorbed by the labour market at the end of the project. Outcome 2: Private sector parties, VTCs and civil society organizations are better equipped to promote employability. Outcome 3: Companies are committed to adopt gender equality in their specific policies, and policies are applied to combat prejudice and gender discrimination. To support the youth, the project is working with the following actors: • at least 75 teachers and instructors from vocational training centers: to be trained to offer market relevant TVET and life skills training • 3 Vocational Training Centers focusing on 1) industry, 2) services and commerce, and 3) entrepreneurship: to be trained to manage the centers and to participate in the project • 40 private sector partners / business owners: to be directly involved in the design of vocational training curricula • At least 30 young people: to be trained as mentors and to have leadership roles during training process and alumni networks • local partner NGO: to be trained in the Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) methodology • 2 Secretariats of State and 2 Municipal Secretariats (Education and Employment and Income): to be sensitized about the need to improve youth economic empowerment strategies, also addressing gender equality • 3 Sector organizations: to be trained in YEE, gender and child protection methodology The project in Salvador is based on the experiences and lessons learned of the Youth Economic Empowerment program (YEE) that Plan International Brazil and its partners have implemented in urban areas around Recife and Natal. Next to that, the project is also based on good practices in implementation of the Livelihood Program Advancement Business School (LABS) in India, Thailand and Vietnam, and the YEE Pathway approach in Mozambique, Indonesia and El Salvador. 1,200 young people (between 17-24 years old, 60% female) Outcome 1: 1,200 young people have benefited from technical training vocational training and life skills training, 75% of which are absorbed by the labour market at the end of the project. • Preparation of the Training Plan • Recruitment and selection of participants for the training cycle • Life skills training • Vocational training • Job placement • Mentoring • Monitoring and evaluation activities of the training phase Outcome 2: Private sector parties, VTCs and civil society organizations are better equipped to promote employability. • Build an expanded public-private-VTC alliance for vocational training, placement in jobs and support to the development of the project • Guiding the theme of integrating life skills and technical training (YEE model) in education systems, in the Alliance's discussion agenda • Advocate for a better application of government policies favoring youth employment, as well as gender equality Outcome 3: Companies are committed to adopt gender equality in their specific policies, and policies are applied to combat prejudice and gender discrimination. • Promotion of an agenda to address prejudice and discrimination based on gender The project strategies are designed to ensure sustainable impact. Financial sustainability: Government, vocational training providers and private sector parties will work together on creating market relevant vocational training curricula accessible for vulnerable youth. As a result, young people with strengthened capacities will be better able to enter and remain in the labor market, contributing to the improvement of the family income and the local economy. Institutional Sustainability: The participation of partners and social actors in the design of the action ensures that the project is relevant to the local context and addresses cross-cutting issues such as gender, disability and inclusion of minorities. The public private partnerships for Youth Employment, formed during the project, will guarantee the relevance of the initiative also when the project has been finalized. Also Alumni networks are groups to continuously involve the community. Political Sustainability: Good practices and lessons learned during project implementation are documented and used as evidence for advocacy in favor of public policies for the employability and socioeconomic inclusion of youth.

It is combatting the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) through preventative and protective measures that focus on actual child victims and children who are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation. The project will empower young girls and boys, create safer communities, assist in law enforcement and policy implementation and work together with the private sector, such as the tourist industry. In Brazil, the project is being implemented by Plan International Brazil and local partners of DCI-ECPAT. It will run between January 2016 and December 2020 in the region of Salvador, working with children, families, communities, the government and private-sector actors to prevent CSEC. CSEC is a fundamental violation of children’s rights. It includes child prostitution, child pornography and child trafficking for sexual purposes. Many children lack the knowledge and capacity and/or the ability to speak out against or resist these forms of exploitation. The communities in which these children live are not always safe for them. Their families are often unaware of the risks their children face, and in some cases they even encourage their children to enter child prostitution. Norms and values that tolerate violence against women are widespread and these are conspiring to make the victims feel ashamed. Furthermore, laws and policies are often not implemented or enforced, and this leads to large-scale impunity (the people who are guilty of this exploitation are going unpunished). In addition to all this, the private sector is not always aware of the effects it can have on CSEC and it could be underestimating its responsibility. The DtZ programme will address the consequences and root causes of CSEC, such as poverty, lack of education, gender imbalances and cultural norms and values that encourage such sexual exploitation. It will do so in four interconnected ways. Firstly, it will empower children. By means of child-led (online) campaigns and life-skills and vocational trainings, children will be encouraged to speak up and protect themselves if they feel in danger of being exploited. It will also offer them possible alternative sources of income. Secondly, by making them agents of change children will be strongly involved in mobilising their parents, community and religious leaders, nurses and teachers to become allies in the struggle against CSEC. The active engagement of men and boys, including fathers, brothers and peers, as well as potential offenders, will be crucial in changing norms and values in communities. Furthermore, a well-functioning referral system connected to formal child-protection bodies will make communities safer for children. Thirdly, laws and policies to combat impunity must be implemented and enforced. By showing governments the scale of the problem through research data and by supporting the development of practical local action plans, government officials will be more willing to address the problem, and will provide sufficient budget. Lastly, the private sector will be encouraged to commit to zero-tolerance towards the sexual exploitation of children. The successful Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism will be further promoted and it will serve as an example for other industries. DtZ builds on the results obtained and the lessons learned from previous interventions carried out by the alliance partners. For Plan Brazil, the most important of these are: - a project called “A Collective NO to Child Sex Tourism” in Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil (2011-2014), and implemented with DCI-ECPAT; - a CSEC project in Brazil (Pernambuco) which was part of a larger programme implemented by DCI-ECPAT (lead), Terre des Hommes and Free a Girl in 25 countries. Plan is also building on the success achieved with its community-based child-protection mechanism (CBCPM) approach, as well as cooperation with the private sector. Plan defines CBCPM as “a network or group of individuals at community level who work in a coordinated manner towards the protection of children from all forms of violence, in all settings. These mechanisms can be local or externally initiated and supported and either formal or informal in the way they are structured and work. CBCPMs are linked together and contribute to other child-protection systems.” Establishing CBCPMs will protect children from all forms of violence, abuse, and exploitation, especially when it comes to CSEC issues. Mechanisms for community-based action on CSEC prevent, monitor, and refer all cases. They are also linked to existing child-protection systems at higher levels that are being managed by the responsible governmental actors. The end beneficiaries include the actual victims and children at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial purposes in the district of Salvador. The main focus will be on the most vulnerable children under the age of 18, while some elements will also include young people up to the age of 24 A specifically targeted group will be the exploited children, particularly girls, of ethnic communities. Regional and country-specific plans will be developed and the relevant activities, based on the overall intervention strategies, will be designed during the preparation phase (between January and June 2016). The changes that will be introduced by the DtZ project in Brazil will be sustainable. It will include various strategies, such as capacity development and policy influencing, both of which will increase sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be supported by the fact that the project focuses on strengthening the capacity of all local partner organisations. This will include carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and annual assessments of the progress being made in customised capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the project’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change that it will start up, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the programme has finished. All these aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening phases that will be developed and rolled out with all the local partner organisations. During the course of 2016, a learning agenda will be worked out and this will focus on the continuous assessment of the assumptions on which the project’s design and Theories of Change (ToC) have been based. The ToC will be critically reviewed every year at country, regional and alliance levels so that strategic adjustments can be made to ensure the maximum impact of the interventions. Learning will also be an outcome of the programme’s evaluation agenda. A baseline will be conducted in the first half of 2016 and a mid-term review and final evaluation are scheduled for 2018 and 2020 respectively. The lobbying and advocacy part of the project and its thematic orientation on CSEC will provide plenty of opportunities for visibility in Brazil. This will probably be through newspaper articles, radio and television interviews and programmes, presentations during conferences, and media and public campaigns. In the Netherlands the project will provide input for evidence-based lobbying of the Dutch government. It will also link with the Dutch tourism industry and a campaign called ‘Don’t Look Away’. There will also be opportunities for visibility through newspaper and magazine (Vice Versa) articles, radio interviews, presentations during forums and conferences.

They don’t receive proper information how to manage their menstruation, don’t have access to menstrual products and safe and clean latrines. Taboos and myths surrounding menstruation also limit what they are allowed to do when menstruating. Many girls drop out of school to prevent embarrassing leaks at school. Same parents also believe that when girls start to menstruate it’s time for them to get married. “A Bloody Serious Matter” Project started in 2013 and aims to (1) improve knowledge and break menstruation taboos among 150.000 girls, boys, women and men, (2) increase access to affordable and hygienic sanitary pads, (3) and increase access to girl friendly toilets and water at schools. Plan International works together with AFRIpads a manufacturer of reusable menstrual hygiene pads. The project is implemented in, Tororo, Lira and Kamuli district. MHM requires an holistic integrated approach to improve knowledge attitude and practice (KAP). It is not about pads, but the KAP comes first among all stakeholders to change the status quo. These stakeholders include boys and men. They need to be brought on board for understanding and appreciation of what happens to boys and girls in order to the break the culture and take menstruation as normal. The reusable pads promoted by AFRIpads are a durable product. Once purchased by one consumer it takes another year for that consumer to get another set. This has created tension between the social enterprise which requires profits and returns within a short period and Plan whose target is not only on access but the social outcome from its activities. Four media campaigns in newspapers and on TV about Menstrual Hygiene Management are run to create awareness among the Ugandan population and government. 32 Radio talk shows and 1,440 radio commercials are broadcasted. Three national campaigns are executed to gain more national (and government) attention for MHM. Three well known good will ambassadors supported the project, and two of them travelled to Uganda to raise publicity. Specially designed Bag to School clutches were marketed. The project featured in 77 articles, three radio interviews and three TV shows. It generated a lot of attention on social media. The NPL uses part of its income from customers buying lots to support so called “Good causes”. This project is one of the projects supported by the NPL. Menstruation is the most normal thing in the world. It is a universal biological process that every healthy girl will have to deal with sooner or later. On average a healthy woman will have around 400 periods in her lifetime and menstruation lasts between four days and a week. In a woman's lifetime that means on average 1,600 days of inconvenience: blood loss, abdominal pain, backache, headache and raging hormones that can turn the sunniest nature crabby and moody. Luckily, the shelves of every chemist and supermarket are bulging with painkillers and sanitary products that keep the discomfort and inconvenience of menstruation to a minimum. Unfortunately, in Uganda good sanitary protection isn't available to buy in their area or they can't afford it. And they don't have the luxury of a toilet round every corner, where they can freshen up. If they are having a period, they have to make do with banana leaves, cloths, newspapers or even earth. Month after month. And as if that weren't unpleasant enough, normally menstruation is seldom if ever talked about. The menstrual cycle is surrounded by a web of fables and cultural and religious taboos. For example, in Uganda girls and women are not allowed to walk in the vegetable garden if they are having a period, because it would cause all the plants to wither. The consequences: for girls and women in Uganda having a period is a monthly dose of shame and humiliation and the lack of hygiene soon leads to health problems. Schoolgirls stay at home when they're having a period. Better to miss school than suffer the embarrassment of leaking in front of your classmates, or the discomfort of a newspaper chafing between your thighs. This means they miss four or five days of school every month, a backlog that many girls hardly ever catch up: they can no longer keep up at school, drop out early. Because without schooling their subsequent opportunities for work and income are limited forever. In order for adolescent girls and young women to manage their menstruation effectively and hygienically, Plan, AFRIpads and the local government have their roles to play. Plan will train the (local) government on raising hygiene awareness, so that they in turn can train the schools and local communities. Plan will also attract attention to MHM on a grand scale through lobbying and various awareness-raising campaigns. AFRIpads is responsible for training the members of the savings and loan groups that promote the sale of the sanitary pads. AFRIpads takes care of the distribution of the sanitary pads and the coordination and management of the AFRIpads sellers. The local authorities in Lira and Kamuli take care of structural improvement of awareness regarding menstrual hygiene in schools and among the Village Health Teams in the communities involved. This will result in improved knowledge and practices around personal hygiene and health of girls and young women; removed barriers to education, so that girls can stay in school longer; and improved income of (young women) through the sales of reusable and affordable sanitary pads and which will result in increased investments in the family lives, because for every dollar a woman earns, she invests 80 cents in her family. This project builds on a pilot project that Plan is carrying out in Tororo, Uganda. It extends on previous work of a School WASH project implemented in Lira and Kamuli from 2010-2012. Reviews of the School WASH project noted limited knowledge around MHM, and consistent with global studies, that girls were dropping out of school due to an inability to manage their period effectively. Plan decided to develop a pilot where MHM was the sole focus. A project that could support girls and women to manage their menstruation hygienically, that went beyond giving out free pads in schools. The initial results of the pilot were really successful and the enthusiastic input from the girls, women and other villagers showed that Plan, with its combined approach of advice and education, the provision of sanitary protection and the creation of income-generating activities, is indeed having a positive influence on the daily lives of girls and young women, even during the uncomfortable days of the month. The end beneficiaries of this MHM project are 150,000 adolescent girls and young women in the rural communities of Lira and Kamuli, Uganda. These girls and women attend school (around 40,000 girls) and live in the communities (almost 110,000 girls and women). Boys and men will also be targeted as Involving boys and men can reduce teasing of girls by boys and help fathers to be more supportive of their daughters and wives by acknowledging the issues, exposing myths and stigma and providing a platform for discussion. O:\IP\4 Programma's\Projecten\UGA100278 MHM\Key Documents\Project proposals The most important aim of the project is to give girls and young women in Uganda the opportunity to take full part in education and work, without menstruation being a limiting factor, by making AFRIpads Menstrual Kits available. This will make lasting improvements to the health, freedom of movement and future chances of girls and women. With this relatively simple solution the project will enable girls to finish their schooling, thus increasing the likelihood that they will go on to earn more, marry later, have healthier children and supervise the education of their sons and daughters. Various studies have revealed that educated girls are the key to breaking the poverty spiral. Financial: The project focuses on the generation of extra income for members of the savings and loan groups. Women receive business training and can therefore become ales representative of AFRIpads. Apart from this Plan does not believe in hand-outs and people will have to pay for the menstrual pads themselves. Because of rising sales (by increasing the distribution market for AFRIpads) - and therefore production volume - the purchase price can remain low. This that the affordability of the menstrual pads is guaranteed. Institutional: The local authorities are very interested in working together with Plan and AFRIpads on better hygiene and sanitation, raising awareness in schools, improving health, improving family income and stimulating the local economy. The Ministry of Education is open to dialogue on MHM. At district and community level the local authorities are in a position to promote awareness, together with Plan, in relation to hygiene and sanitation. Plan will train the local government staff on menstrual hygiene, so that they themselves can take care of the structural improvement of awareness regarding menstrual hygiene in schools and among the Village Health Teams in the communities involved. Ecological: The reusability of the sanitary pads ensures ecological sustainability, certainly compared to (commercially-available) sanitary protection. Technical: The reusable sanitary pads of AFRIpads re made by local women and packaged in the AFRIpads Menstrual Kits. A kit like this, which can last for more than a year, consists of a set of: - Five washable sanitary pads (three for heavy days and two for light days) - Two holders (you clip these to your knickers and insert the pads) - Watertight bag (in which you can keep your sanitary pads if they can't be washed immediately). Social: It is also important to note that the project contributes towards the improvement of personal hygiene during menstruation, brings about a permanent change in behaviour and increases the knowledge about the menstrual cycle as a completely natural process, among all those directly and indirectly involved.

NL-KVK-41198890-CAF100169 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY This project was implemented between June 1, 2016 till March 31, 2017. The political crisis in the Central African Republic, has increased the vulnerability and risks that boys and girls are confronted with. The project aims to prevent violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of children. It meets the protection and reintegration needs of the most vulnerable boys and girls, especially unaccompanied and separated children, CAFAAGs (children associated with armed forces or groups) and child survivors of GBV (gender based violence). Activity will be implemented jointly by Plan International and the Centre de Promotion des Droits de l'Enfant (CPDE), a local NGO, in close partnership with War Child. It will be implemented in Ouham prefecture, Bouca and Batangafo sub-prefectures, using a community based child protection approach, including Child Friendly Spaces, as well as case management and capacity building of local actors and service providers. Despite the peacebuilding efforts, CAR remains an extremely volatile country with frequent atrocious attacks against civilians, due to resentment between communities, fighting between armed groups, transhumance, the weak rule of law and the absence of functioning justice, security and protection systems. 1.4 million children in CAR are in need of child protection 40,000 children are at risk of being separated from their families during movements; to be recruited into armed groups; sexually abused or deprived of their rights. The breakdown of social protection and underlying harmful gender norms leave (adolescent) girls particularly vulnerable to (sexual) violence, forced marriage, and sexually transmitted. disease : 97,000 girls and women in CAR are at-risk of GBV . Among the most vulnerable are as well unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), as they lack adult care to cater to their security, health, education and psycho-emotional needs, and children associated with armed forces and groups (CAAFAG). In addition to the psychological distress, CAAFAG may face rejection by their families/ communities, due to their participation in armed groups. Intervention logic is aligned with the HRP for Plan and CP sub-cluster guidance. SO 1: Protection of conflict-affected populations is reinforced, through setting-up community based child protection mechanisms, training local service providers in child and gender friendly approaches and awareness raising on child rights, child protection, social cohesion and conflcit resolition. SO2 : GBV and children's rights abuses are prevented/responded through supporting UASC with IDTR, interim care and reintegration support, offering recreational and psychosocial support activities in Child Friendly Spaces and providing parenting sessions. SO3 : support to livelihood skills and access to basic services is provided through provision of vocational training opportunities, School Kits and life skills sessions. Activity will start on June 1st and is not building on any other previous interventions in this location. Cooperation with the Ministry of Social Welfare and War Child will be sought. Direct beneficiaries are vulnerable boys and girls, adolescent boys and girls, as well as their parents and caregivers in 5 communities of Batangafo District and Bossangoa District, in Ouham Prefecture. Moreover, community members as members of the RECOPE, Youth clubs, Parents committees, local service providers and Ministry of Social Welfare. Setting up of CP community structures. Training fo community professionals. Awareness Raising events. IDTR and case management of UASC, CAFAAGs, Child survivors of GBV and other vulnerable children. Support to interim care families.Construction fo CFS with gender segregated latrines. Training on psychosocial support. Vocation training and support to access primary eduaction. Positive parenting and Life skill sessions. It will be important the communities feel ownership on the community based child protection mechanisms set up, in order to sustain the progress made. Sustainability of the CFS management and equipment is also important.

The project equipped young people with the skills and opportunities to engage in enterprise and employment in the department of Cauca, Cali, Bogotá and Medellín. In 3 years, 2.969 disadvantaged youth (60% women) completed life skills, business and market-driven vocational trainings and 2.186 of them moved on to decent work - either in a job or by establishing/strengthening their own businesses. This ensured future economic security for themselves and their families. This project in Colombia was supported by Plan’s Regional Office of the Americas (ROA) with technical assistance and (academic) research. Furthermore, 6 partnerships with companies were signed, and 53 mentors supported the young participants. With youth in Latin America accounting for nearly one third of the population, they should be a major driver of regional economic growth. However, decent job opportunities remain inaccessible for large number of young underprivileged people, maintaining the cycle of poverty. The most important obstacles for inserting these youth into the labour market are their lack of professional qualifications and the requirement of prior experience. Young women face additional hurdles such as persistent gender stereotypes, discriminatory practices and adolescent pregnancy. Social instability in the target areas are characterized by armed conflict, social and gender-based violence, displacement, over-population, lack of formal jobs and weak local economies. This context limits business and entrepreneurial opportunities, fuelling many youth to engage in illicit activities. By given life-skills training and market-driven (based on a market scan) technical training to young people, they acquire the necessary skills to enter the job market as employees or entrepreneurs. By engaging companies for the development of training content and understanding their needs and expectations regarding future employees, the project facilitates the transit of vulnerable young people to decent jobs. Once these young people have the right skills and are either working or running their own business, they will be able to earn a decent income for themselves and their families. Due to deficiencies in education quality, and youth’s limited access to business networks, financial services and productive assets, a wide gap remains between the market demand and the provision of well-trained workers. Existing governmental training institutes cannot bridge the skills gap by technical trainings alone; soft skills trainings and post-graduate job insertion has proven to be essential for successful employment of youth. The final beneficiaries are 2.969 vulnerable young people (aged between 17 and 30) where 60% are young women. The targeted youth had little or no job experience and out of a formal job, in situations of social vulnerability, and with minimum educational attainment to access technical training. Young people were equipped with technical/vocational skills and 2.186 entered in the labour market or started their own businesses. The project consists of three components that mutually reinforce each other: Component 1- Private Sector Engagement and Youth Employment Enabler Networks: consisted on the creation of shared value implementation approaches and partnerships (so called Smart Business Alliance) with companies, governmental organisations, training partners and community-based organizations. Component 2- Training, Placement & Start-up: included the recruitment of young participants followed by skills training (vocational, technical, entrepreneurship and/or life skills), mentoring, work readiness support and transition to decent work. Component 3- Research and Evidence Gathering: aimed to address the demand for applied research on good practices within Youth Empowerment Solution (YES) programs and to enable further up-scaling and replication in Latin America. Plan’s project aimed to fill in the gap between offer and demand in the labour market by engaging the private sector in the development of curricula and training the targeted youth with the skills and knowledge demanded by them. The project provided not only technical/vocational and entrepreneurship trainings, but also coaching, life skills trainings and work readiness support. The project ensured also that the targeted youth were placed in jobs or supported to start their own businesses. Smart business alliances were established to promote employment and business opportunities for vulnerable youth and create awareness about gender equality. Also alumni network were established to stay in touch with the youth and follow-up their personal and professional development after completion of the training program. Furthermore a business case was developed with one private partner to show how the project has benefited both the young people and the private partner based on economic and social indicators. The project achieved sustainability by focusing in vulnerable youth in the target areas, improving their personal attitude and self-esteem and equipping them with technical and life skills to contribute to their economic security and therefore also financial sustainability for their families. By establishing strong networks with training providers, governmental organisations in charge of youth employment, private sector entities and individual companies, the project secured the long-term institutional engagement of key stakeholders to implement youth economic empowerment programs beyond the project.

NL-KVK-41198890-UGA100315 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The project has started in January 2015 and is carried out in 7 towns of Northern Uganda including: Zombo, Pader, Kitugum, Kebaramaido, Dokolo, Apac and Amuria. It targets boys, girls, men and women in the selected districts and intends to reach 332,611 people. The project is carried out because of a lack of access to safe water in major towns in Uganda. Interventions require a multi-sectorial approach to meet technical, financial and capacity development needs. This project therefore proposes interventions aimed at increasing access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation in the medium term. The project is executed by the following partners : National Water and Sewerage Corporation; Vitens Evides International (VEI); UNESCO-IHE; Kagga and Partners; Ministry of Water and Environment. Provision of water and sanitation is still an enormous challenge for most developing countries within sub Saharan Africa. It is estimated that access to safe water in the major towns is about 68%. The majority of the population living in small towns and rural areas depend on unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation exposing them to disease and resulting in loss of productivity. This amongst other factors keeps this population entangled in the web of poverty. Faced with increasing population and rising urbanization, small unplanned towns are emerging rapidly. Many of these towns lack piped water and have no or very poor sanitation facilities. Faced with increasing population, the influx of refugees from South Sudan and rising urbanization, small unplanned towns are emerging rapidly. The water infrastructure is aged, and because of 21year prolonged civil war has not been replaced over the years. The National Water and Sewerage Corporation as the utility service provider is faced with the challenge of high investment costs required to meet these service gaps. The towns in Northern Uganda have been hit hard with a 21year prolonged civil war and with the influx of refugees from South Sudan. The growing populations have out-stripped the existing capacities of water and sewerage services. The water infrastructure is aged and due to the prolonged conflict has not been replaced over the years. The National Water and Sewerage Corporation as the utility service provider is faced with the challenge of high investment costs required to meet these service gaps. Objective is increasing access of safe water and provision of improved sanitation systems, thereby achieve the Government’s coverage objectives. On a macro level: • pro-poor services approaches in policy design and implementation • Economic and political stability to enable accurate design projections and to protect the project interventions from external risks such as foreign exchange variability. The project will induce the following changes: • Improved socio-economic status of the communities, resulting primarily from increased productivity and health benefits of improved water and sanitation. • Behavior change among communities towards to safe water, sanitation and hygiene practices • Improved efficiency and functionality of the existing water and sanitation systems • Increased “water and energy awareness” among the community • Improved living and sanitary conditions of the population living within newly taken over Urban Areas. Governement in abid to increase access to safe water drilled production wells to supply piped water systems in urban centres. These were initially managed under private sector and now management of the water services has been transfered to NWSC Assumptions: • Provision of financial resources from the Government and NWSC • Community mobilization and stakeholder support integration into the project interventions. • Adoption of appropriate and cost effective technologies in the implementation of the project. • Sustainability of the interventions and project achieved through effective and efficient pricing and operation and maintenance of the facilities. • Adequate capacity to manage the project interventions and ensure continuity after completion. • Adoption of integrated approach to the implementation of the project covering climate change, water resource conservation, gender concerns and energy conservation. It’s the role of government to provide safe drinking Water and good sanitation in institutions as per the Ugandan policy. However owing to competing priorities funding for schools sanitation has been dwindling over time. Well as the Ministry of Education is responsible for sanitation improvement in schools, it’s not prioritized and thus little budget allocated. Despite signing of MOU between the 3 ministries of Water , Health and education in respect to roles and responsibilities, operationalization of the MOU has not been realized. The key limitations are prioritization of sanitation, limited resource allocation among competition priorities, and inadequate coordination. 7 towns of Northern Uganda including: Zombo, Pader, Kitugum, Kebaramaido, Dokolo, Apac & Amuria.

This project therefore proposes interventions aimed at increasing access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation in the medium term. The interventions shall focus on institutional development, capacity development, infrastructural improvements, community mobilization through WASH activities and exploration of alternative energy sources to boost reliability of water supply. The key outcomes include adequate safe water, increased coverage, consumer based management systems for continuity and sustainability, improved water supply reliability and increased per capita consumption from an approximate 50l/c/d to70l/c/d and in the long term increased productivity and livelihoods leading to economic growth. 4.

Particular emphasis is being placed on improving policies and practices for the elimination of violence against girls and women and ending their economic exclusion. In Uganda, the programme is implemented by Plan Uganda and Terre des Hommes. The Girls Advocacy Programme by Plan in Uganda started in January 2016 and will run for five years. Through lobby and advocacy, linking and networking and capacity building, the programme contributes to eliminating child marriage, commercial sexual exploitation, trafficking, child labour and economic exclusion on community level (Kampala, Tororo, Bukedea, Lira, Kamuli, Buyende and Alebtong) and national level. Violence against girls and young women and the denial of their economic rights stand in the way of achieving meaningful gender equality. Serious violations of these human rights are affecting millions of girls and young women. Societies pay a high price for not tackling these issues. Studies have indicated that child marriage is a product of social values, cultural norms and economic motives. In general, there is a strong link between poverty and child marriage. Child marriage is the leading cause of school dropout (31%) and teenage pregnancies for girls in Uganda (83%). Girls who are married early not only jeopardize their future economic security, but also experience social exclusion as they are often separated from their families and friends. In regard to CSEC, one study in Uganda estimated the number of children affected by CSEC in 2011 to be 18,000 with more girls affected than boys. The study identified the key drivers for CSEC as lack of responsible parental care and lack of sustainable opportunities for education . Trafficking was identified as one of the conduits of CSEC with most female victims of trafficking ending up in prostitution. There is little information on the actual number of trafficking victims due to its clandestine nature. However one ILO study revealed that a high number of girls are trafficked at a later age between 15 – 19 years compared to boys who are trafficked at the early age bracket of 10-14 years. This is partly because younger girls are more protected and their movements restricted as compared to boys. A big number of girls who are trafficked end up working as child domestic workers or in CSEC. The main factors that exacerbate the problem of child trafficking are children dropping out of school and lack of professional skills/ training. Children who drop out of school and have no skills often get involved in any activity that could boost their survival and thus easily fall prey to trafficking. The Theory of Change for the Girls Advocacy Programme in Uganda follows four interrelated paths. Three of these lead to legislation, understanding, adherence and monitoring of public and private policies and practices regarding violence against girls and young women and their economic empowerment. Each focuses on a specific type of actor: (1) government officials at national, state, province, district and community level, and representatives of customary systems; (2) private sector actors; and (3) girls’ and women’s organisations and other CSOs and CSO networks with enhanced organisational and advocacy capacity. The fourth path leads to the abandonment of social norms and practices that discriminate against gender and to the change of deeply rooted and widely upheld beliefs that negatively affect policy makers, local government officials, local courts and/or service providers’ willingness to adopt and implement gender equality policies. The main actors are community, traditional and religious leaders and other key opinion leaders. Each of the paths will entail three levels of change: agenda setting, policy setting and, ultimately, changes in practices. The Girls Advocacy Programme builds on the outcomes realised, lessons learned and relationships built up by the three alliance organisations during various programmes. The Girl Power Programme focused on the political and economic empowerment of girls and young women, making them better protected against sexual and other forms of gender-based violence and improving their access to secondary education. The Girls Advocacy Programme will build on the thematic and strategic expertise and experience that was gained during the Girl Power Programme, including partnering, networking and lobbying and advocacy. The end beneficiaries of the Girls Advocacy Programme of Plan in Uganda will be girls and young women (up to the age of 24) in selected districts. The programme focuses on four strategic goals. 1. Public support for the elimination of gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 2. The influence of civil society organisations and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations) on governmental and corporate/private-sector actors to eliminate gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 3. The policies and practices of corporate/private-sector actors that support the elimination of gender-based violence and economic exclusion, will be improved. 4. Legislation and public policies, as well as improved practices of governmental actors, that support the prevention of gender-based violence and economic exclusion, will be effectively implemented. The programme embraces two main strategies. The first of these involves strengthening CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations). This will make them better able to influence government and private-sector actors to eliminate gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women. The second of these strategies entails policy influencing for increased public support, improved policies and practices of private-sector actors, as well as for the effective implementation of legislation and public policies and the improvement of practices of governmental actors that support the prevention and elimination of gender-based violence and economic exclusion. Specific strategies for policy influencing are lobby, advocacy (including media campaigns and ICT), research and linking & networking. The changes that will be instigated by the Girls Advocacy Programme in Uganda will be sustainable. The main strategies of the programme, which are capacity development and policy influencing, will both underscore sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be ensured by the programme’s focus on capacity strengthening of all local partner organisations. This will be based on carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and then annual assessments of the progress on custom developed capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the programme’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change it will initiate, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the life of the programme. These aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening trajectories that will be developed and rolled out with all local partner organisations. Inclusivity is an important principle of the programme and this will also be embedded in the capacity-development activities.

With this project, by changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, adolescents will be empowered to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project will give adolescents alternatives beyond EM and teenage pregnancies. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Nederland, together with partners Rutgers, Choice, KIT and the Netherlands’ Embassy to Mozambique, similar projects under the same framework will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Indonesia and Pakistan. Deep-rooted norms and expectations of girls and boys make families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off. Gender inequality is putting girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships. For example, girls cannot refuse to have unprotected sex and this is resulting in a high level of teenage pregnancies. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves and claim their rights are limited and they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRHR information and services. There are close links between EM and teenage pregnancies and girls’ lack of education. Indeed, girls’ access to education is very restricted, which makes it difficult for them to find jobs later. It also hampers their economic independence. Legislation to outlaw EM is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. EM and teenage pregnancies mutually reinforce one another. Social and gender norms perpetuating EM are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people, including boys and men, support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of EM and teenage pregnancies. A general lack of information about SRHR and poor quality and access to the relevant services are perpetuating the above-mentioned problems. Adolescent boys and girls are being informed about SRHR and given a voice to claim these rights. Girls are being given more control over their lives. This is being achieved by changing these norms and people’s behaviour, strengthening networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedding these in communities, and by involving the government and the private sector in improving SRHR and services. All these will help to reduce EM and teenage pregnancies. This programme is a follow up of the Plan regional EM programme (18+) in Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique, in which adolescents are being trained as agents of change to make their voice heard in claiming their SRH rights. The programme is being implemented by the Yes I Do alliance in which each partner is adding value by implementing part of one or more of the intervention strategies. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried.

The survey included question about child marriage. We obtained a sample size of 1430 using a standard formula- taking into account possible “design effects” because of the clustered sampling- we multiplied the required sample by 1.5 and had a ratio of 75% female respondents and 25% male respondents. A total of 1482 questionnaires were administered- very slightly above the planned target. No end line data available for this quantitative indicator. Due to COVID-19 and the related school closure in September 2020, it was not possible to use the same sampling framework for the end-line survey as for 2016 baseline study in Mogovolas (household sample n=715) and the 2017 Nampula and Rapale study (school-based sample n=943). The end-line survey therefore targeted young people (15-24 years, both female and male) involved in the Champions of Change activities in all three districts: Mogovolas (n=55), Nampula (n=35) and Rapale (n=74). The different sampling frame used for the end-line as result of COVID-19, makes comparison with the previous studies not possible and therefore, only the qualitative indicators have received a value in the IATI reporting.

We obtained a sample size of 1430 using a standard formula- taking into account possible “design effects” because of the clustered sampling- we multiplied the required sample by 1.5 and had a ratio of 75% female respondents and 25% male respondents. A total of 1482 questionnaires were administered- very slightly above the planned target. SRHR services including contraceptives No end line data available for this quantitative indicator.

It also increases their income from soy production and improves household budgeting, ultimately enhancing household resilience. The project targets the soy sector since its potential is grossly underexploited in Northern Uganda. The innovation of ‘gender transformative contract farming’ lies in the incentives it creates for farmer groups to pursue gender equality within all their operations. This includes the application of bylaws on gender equality, as well as providing women with equal access to improved farming inputs, and capacity building on financial, entrepreneurial and marketing skills. At the end of the project, 2,500 smallholder farmers (80% young women) will be socially and economically empowered, and their livelihoods and food security will be improved. The problem that we intend to address is twofold: first, women farmers in Northern Uganda have very little decision making power with regard to the agricultural production process and the income they generate. Second, due to inefficient production (leading to low yields and household incomes) and a lack of balanced household expenditure decisions, the capacity of households to secure household stability and resilience is limited. Poverty is unequally distributed across Uganda, with the highest poverty rates (43.8%) in Northern Uganda a result of youth unemployment, gender inequality, lack of access to basic services and low economic development. About 80% of the population living below poverty line is found in rural areas, where subsistence agriculture is the main source of food and livelihood security. In the target districts, over 60% of young women who work as smallholder farmers do not generate sufficient income to sustain their livelihoods and provide nutritious food for themselves and their children. While women are the primary caregivers and primary producers in agriculture, many of them are unable to realize sustainable livelihoods from farming. Gender inequality within household, community and society inhibits women farmers’ access to agriculture inputs, markets and knowledge, limiting their capacity to increase productivity and generate income. Cultural norms make it difficult for young women to access and own land. Traditionally, land belongs to the father who divides it amongst the males in the family. Young women are not culturally entitled to inherit land and often access it through their husband though this does not imply ownership. In addition, mothers sometimes lobby their husbands to give their daughters an inheritance, but any land that is provided is usually reclaimed when the daughter is married. This in combination with the early marriage tradition in Uganda, puts young women in a vulnerable position. The envisaged primary outcomes are: 1) 2,500 smallholder farmers (80% women) have improved their incomes from soy production and 2) the voice and agency of 2,000 young women farmers in Northern Uganda is increased. This ultimately contributes to the envisaged long term goal: young women farmers in Northern Uganda are empowered to increase resilience of their households. Empowerment to increase resilience is therefore enhanced via two pathways, namely 1) increasing income of 2,500 smallholder farmers (80% women) by improving their production and productivity of high quality soy grains and ensuring a guaranteed sale of their produce by directly linking the farmers to the buyer, and 2) increasing the voice and agency of 2,000 female smallholder farmers, by enhancing their decision making power on the use of the increased income from soy, by strengthening women’s position through implementation of gender transformative contract farming agreements, and by supporting farmer organizations and cooperatives to develop and enforce gender equality through gender transformative bylaws and policies. By targeting women’s decision making influence, linkages and entitlements, the proposed interventions aim to provide safety nets for young women farmers, in terms of assets and opportunities (in the areas of nutrition, health and education) and social networks, enabling them to improve their households’ current livelihood conditions and build resilience for future shocks. The project is based on the belief that addressing gender inequality at the individual, household and society levels is not only just, but also the smartest investment for achieving structural poverty reduction and inclusive development. Over the past decades, efforts to increase Africa’s agricultural production have raised incomes, but have done little to strengthen food security and household resilience – because it is primarily women who grow the food for household consumption and yet have little voice to make decisions about the income. Enhancing women’s decision making power over income generation is therefore crucial to ensure a bigger impact on household resilience. This project aims to contribute to closing the gender gap in smallholder farming in Northern Uganda, by enhancing women farmer’s empowerment in all its dimensions. Soybean is an emerging crop in the Northern region in which young women farmers are actively engaged. It has huge potential for commercial production, with high in-country and external demand due to growing regional markets and livestock industry. Improved, high yielding, pest resistant soybean varieties have been released. However this high potential is grossly underexploited, particularly among smallholder women farmers, who only realise about 30% of the potential yields (up to 800Kg/Acre). 2,500 smallholder farmers (80% women) in Lira, Apac, Alebtong, Dokolo and Oyam districts in Northern Uganda. This first intermediate outcome: increased production and productivity of high quality soy grain by smallholder farmers (80% women), is realized by building the capacity of (women) farmers on good agricultural practices through training, equipping them with the needed business skills (such as financial literacy, negotiation and marketing skills), facilitating their access to agricultural inputs and finance, and strengthening of extension services. Lead farmers (80% women) serving as local resource persons will be trained (through a Training of Trainers (ToT) model) on Agronomy, Farming as a business, Post-Harvest handling and Safe use of chemicals, and facilitated to pass on this knowledge to their fellow farmers. In addition, demonstrations will be established at lead farmers’ fields to support the trainings on agronomic practices in a cost effective way. Key to the improvement of production capacity in Uganda’s oilseed sectors, is the access to good quality agricultural inputs: drought and pest resistant and high yielding soybean seed and fertilizer. Access to credit will be facilitated through various ways: 1) by further strengthening Village Saving and Loans Associations (VSLAs) which are already widely operational in Uganda, to enable smallholder farmers that lack access to formal services to access to capital for agro-business start-up and growth; 2) by linking mature VSLAs (assessed in terms of group leadership, organizational capacity, accumulated savings, loan repayments and management capacity) to Financial Institutions (FIs), and 3) through the contract farming agreement with a private company. One of the key interventions in the project is to support companies and farmer organizations to implement gender transformative contract farming agreements. These farming contracts work in two ways: on the one side, they will ensure a guaranteed income to the farmers for their soy grain and guarantee the company that they will receive confirmed high quality produce from the farmer. On the other side, they will increase women’s decision making power by integrating gender transformative clauses, such as affirmative action clauses regarding the representation of women on the executive committees and marketing committees, and budget development with provision of gender responsive/sensitive activities at sub county and district level. By including affirmative clauses in the contract farming agreements, this project will increase women’s access to inputs in the value chain and women’s decision making power related to the income that they generate (as gender transformative contracting is a core element of this proposal’s innovation, this aspect is further elaborated under “innovation” below). An underlying intermediate outcome of having farmers, their organisations and communities support equal decision making by women will be achieved through the sensitization of young women farmers and their households and communities on gender equality issues, and by enhanced presentation, negotiation and communication skills of young women farmers. In addition, both men and women will be educated on household budgeting and the use of income generated through soy production. It is envisaged that women and men will make informed decisions about expenditures for their household to make them more resilient in the short and long term, particularly with regard to expenditures for food and nutrition security, health and education. Commercial incentives and private sector participation are key to sustainability, and the central pillar of the project’s exit strategy. Smallholder contract farming schemes around the world have a good record of sustainability, as it is in the interest of private businesses to ensure that smallholder production is sustained in order to achieve full utilization of milling and processing capacity. Working directly with the private sector will enable the farmers to learn what they need to do to produce for the market and sustain commercial relations with private business. Consolidating these business relationships will contribute to phasing out the need for further donor support. As the unmet potential of soy in Uganda is still high, the scalability of improvements to agronomic practices and inputs usage is considerable, as success will drive further farmer interest in the region. With regard to scalability to other crops: at this stage the project will focus only on soybean raw production, although trainings will deal with other crops in a secondary way as part of good agricultural practices (such as intercropping or rotating with maize). However, many of the modalities used in this project for the soy value chain are not soy specific and suitable for replication to other crops and regions, once adjusted to the (local) context. Specifically, the use of gender-transformative contracts and bylaws can be scaled up by popularizing the ‘gender transformative checklist’ as a tool, as well as sets of standard requirements tested and proven in the functioning contracts and bylaws. Training community and private sector extension services on key aspects of the project approach (gender transformative contracts combined with trainings on ‘farming as a business’) will sustainably strengthen these resources that benefit the whole community, and enable them to integrate these practices into their daily work, leading to higher production and productivity.

It is combatting the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) through preventative and protective measures that focus on actual child victims and children at risk of commercial sexual exploitation. The project will empower young girls and boys, create safer communities, assist in law enforcement and policy implementation and work together with the private sector, such as the tourist industry. In the Dominican Republic, the project is being implemented by Plan International Dominican Republic and ECPAT MAIS. The project will run between January 2016 and December 2020 in the south-eastern region of Boca Chica, the eastern region of Punta Cana and the south-western region of Pedernales. CSEC is a fundamental violation of children’s rights. It includes child prostitution, child pornography and child trafficking for sexual purposes. Many children lack the knowledge and capacity and/or the ability to speak out against or resist these forms of exploitationThe communities in which these children live are not always safe for them. Their families are often unaware of the risks their children face, and in some cases they even encourage their children to enter child prostitution. Norms and values that tolerate violence against women are widespread and these are conspiring to make the victims feel ashamed. Furthermore, laws and policies are often not implemented or enforced, and this leads to large-scale impunity (the people who are guilty of this exploitation are going unpunished). In addition to all this, the private sector is not always aware of the effects it can have on CSEC and it could be underestimating its responsibility. The DtZ programme will address the consequences and root causes of CSEC, such as poverty, lack of education, gender imbalances and cultural norms and values that encourage such sexual exploitation. It will do so in four interconnected ways. Firstly, it will empower children. By means of child-led (online) campaigns and life-skills and vocational trainings, children will be encouraged to speak up and protect themselves if they feel in danger of being exploited. It will also offer them possible alternative sources of income. Secondly, by making them agents of change children will be strongly involved in mobilising their parents, community and religious leaders, nurses and teachers to become allies in the struggle against CSEC. The active engagement of men and boys, including fathers, brothers and peers, as well as potential offenders, will be crucial in changing norms and values in communities. Furthermore, a well-functioning referral system connected to formal child-protection bodies will make communities safer for children. Thirdly, laws and policies to combat impunity must be implemented and enforced. By showing governments the scale of the problem through research data and by supporting the development of practical local action plans, government officials will be more willing to address the problem, and will provide sufficient budget. Lastly, the private sector will be encouraged to commit to zero-tolerance towards the sexual exploitation of children. The successful Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism will be further promoted and it will serve as an example for other industries. DtZ builds on the results obtained and the lessons learned from previous interventions carried out by the alliance partners. For Plan Dominican Republic, the most important one is a CSEC project in the south-eastern region of the Dominican Republic (May 2015-June 2016). This was part of a larger programme implemented by DCI-ECPAT (lead), Terre des Hommes and Free a Girl in 25 countries. Plan is also building on the success achieved with its community-based child-protection mechanism (CBCPM) approach, as well as cooperation with the private sector. Plan defines CBCPM as “a network or group of individuals at community level who work in a coordinated manner towards the protection of children from all forms of violence, in all settings. These mechanisms can be local or externally initiated and supported and either formal or informal in the way they are structured and work. CBCPMs are linked together and contribute to other child-protection systems.” Establishing CBCPMs will protect children from all forms of violence, abuse, and exploitation, especially when it comes to CSEC issues. Mechanisms for community-based action on CSEC prevent, monitor, and refer all cases. They are also linked to existing child-protection systems at higher levels that are being managed by the responsible governmental actors. The end beneficiaries include the actual victims and children at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial purposes in the districts of Boca Chica, Punta Cana and Pedernales. The main focus will be on the most vulnerable children under the age of 18, while some elements will also include young people up to the age 24. A specifically targeted group will be the children, particularly girls, of ethnic minority groups. Regional and country-specific plans will be developed and the relevant activities, based on the overall intervention strategies, will be designed during the preparation phase (between January and June 2016). Sustainability will be further addressed in the country specific ToC of the Dominican Republic. The changes that will be instigated by the DtZ project in the Dominican Republic will be sustainable. It will include various strategies, such as capacity development and policy influencing, both of which will increase sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be supported by the fact that the project focuses on strengthening the capacity of all local partner organisations. This will include carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and annual assessments of the progress being made in customised capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the project’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change that it will start up, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the programme has finished. All these aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening phases that will be developed and rolled out with all the local partner organisations. During the course of 2016, a learning agenda will be worked out and this will focus on the continuous assessment of the assumptions on which the project’s design and Theories of Change (ToC) have been based. The ToC will be critically reviewed every year at country, regional and alliance levels so that strategic adjustments can be made to ensure the maximum impact of the interventions. Learning will also be an outcome of the programme’s evaluation agenda. A baseline will be conducted in the first half of 2016 and a mid-term review and final evaluation are scheduled for 2018 and 2020 respectively. The lobbying and advocacy part of the project and its thematic orientation on CSEC will provide plenty of opportunities for visibility in the Dominican Republic. This will probably be through newspaper articles, radio and television interviews and programmes, presentations during conferences, and media and public campaigns. In the Netherlands the project will provide input for evidence-based lobbying of the Dutch government. It will also link with the Dutch tourism industry and a campaign called ‘Don’t Look Away’. There will also be opportunities for visibility through newspaper and magazine (Vice Versa) articles, radio interviews, presentations during forums and conferences.

The project involves informing communities about the rights of girls and boys to an education, mobilizing, recruiting and selecting the children that are most at risk and therefore eligible for a scholarships, which will be granted upon conditions of full support and commitment of the children and their parents/caretakers. During the school attendance the children will be coached, mentored and supported to avoid drop out and successfull completion. This 3-year project is implemented in Santa Helena district in Ecuador and started 1 April 2015. Despite the fact that access to education in Ecuador has improved in the past years, thousands of people remain excluded, and more particularly minorities which represent 21.6% of the population and include girls and teenage girls from poor households, indigenous, montubian or afro-Ecuadorians. 13% of indigenous girls and boys, 14% of afro-Ecuadorians, and 15% of montubian do not have access to basic education, compared to 4.4% at national level. In the Province of Santa Elena, 13.8% of children work. Close to 7% of girls between 5 and 14 remain with no access to formal education, and 38.7% of girls and 31.6% of boys aged between 15 and 17 are not schooled. In order to address this gap, the government is offering free education and is providing uniforms, school lunch and school books. However the coverage remains an important problem, and for poor households, these incentives are not sufficient to keep their children at school. Moreover, for students in their three last years of high school, the cost in terms of transport and time increases because of limited numbers of secondary education centers which are usually located far from their communities. Socio-economic and cultural patterns of gender inequality exacerbate the existing situation of exclusion which go against the well-being and academic performance of girls and teenage girls. Girls are often asked to go and work or to stay and take care of the house instead of going to school. In Ecuador an average of 31% of adolescent girls do not attend secondary school. This number rises to 44% in indigenous areas, to 42% for afro-Ecuadorian populations and 33% for montubian populations. An estimated number of 149.572 girls aged between 5 and 17 years old, cannot study as they work at home. The latter represents 13% for montubian girls, 15% for afro- Ecuadorian girls and 17% for indigenous girls . The project will increase and secure the number of children that have access to education and are able to complete it in Santa Helena district by 2018. Surrounding communities are being informed that both boys and girls have a right to an education and are being made aware of the social, cultural and economic benefits for communities of educated women. Community assessments will then identify children with the potential to be granted scholarships and rank these children accordingly. The children that qualify for scholarships will then be given funds equal to the yearly amount of the scholarships, the registration fees will have to be presented. Plan´s local office will do what’s necessary to make sure children are able to go to school and monitor their attendance too. The latter includes a follow-up with their families, the verification of grades and ensuring every child completes the school year. The scholarship project will support 170 girls, boys and adolescents that are at risk of exploitation, subjected to violence, or discriminated against or excluded for reasons of gender, ethnicity or mental or physical disabilities. Access to basic education for girls and boys in santa Helena District is a three-year project that will give better access to an education for 170 girls and boys and help them complete that education. The project initially involves informing communities about the rights of girls and boys to an education then selecting the children that are most eligible for the scholarships that will be granted. The necessary funds will then be provided to the families of the eligible children. Finally, the selected children will be mentored and coached and their progress will be monitored. Children and teenagers who have not completed their basic education or have not obtained high school diplomas have more difficulty finding a decent job and are more likely to be underemployed or exploited. The latter makes it more difficult for them to develop into healthy and productive adults who contribute to the well-being of their community. Ensuring that the selected children complete their basic education will increase their self-reliance and their later ability to support their families and communities.

In particular for youth from ethnic minorities including young women it is very difficult to access and complete tertiary education due to their social, cultural and economic backgrounds. Selected youth will be provided with scholarships and act as role models for their communities. They will be coached and mentored while studying and will receive additional life skills training on topics such as presentation and leadership, financial literacy, gender roles, sexual reproductive health and rights, career guidance. The project is implemented by Plan International Ecuador in collaboration with various respected universities in Ecuador. It started in March 2015 and will run for 5 years. Poverty levels in Ecuador remain high with a percentage of 37,1% and extreme poverty of 14.11%; and raises at alarming levels in remote provinces like Santa Elena, where 61.9% of the population live in poverty (INEC- Censo 2010), and 29.9% in extreme poverty. In this province, out of 100 children attending primary school, 50.4% are boys and 49.6% are girls. However, when looking at the numbers for secondary education, this gender gap deepens bringing it up to 54% of teenage boys and 46% of teenage girls having enrolled. At university level, despite the fact that there are no official numbers, this tendency worsens due to youth pregnancy and limited family income. Additionally, the low quality of secondary education in Santa Elena doesn’t allow students to succeed at the national university entry exam. Therefore, most of the local university students come from other provinces, and the curriculum options offered by these universities do not match local market needs. Santa Elena needs to prepare professionals for jobs related to its geographical reality and the local industry. Youngsters with no studies have more difficulties finding decent jobs, giving back to their communities, breaking the cycle of poverty and climbing the socio-economic ladder, and helping to build a healthy and strong country. Most of the economically active population in Santa Elena is underemployed, with rates reaching up to 73.3% for women and 63.6% for men, and unemployment rates of 11% for women and 8.3% for men. Based upon pre set selection criteria appropiate students will be selected by Plan Ecuador. Students will then be supported to take the required entry test to enter university. If they pass they will start with their chosen study, which should qualify as labour market relevant as assessed through a market assessement exercise done by Plan. Students will then be mentored, guided and supported while going through their academic year, both in financial terms as in life skills training. Upon graduation students will be supported to the world of work. Upon signing a employee contract at least 50% of the students will start contributing to the revolving fund as agreed beforehand to ensure new students can enter the program. Universities, employers and alumni will be actively involved in the program to strengthen it and ensure sustainability. Since 2015, Plan Ecuador has been developing scholarship programs aimed to support students to complete high school, but, even though they are intelligent and motivated, they have not been able to access to higher education due to the lack of economic resources. Research on what careers students can pursue if they get a scholarship to cover their expenses (transportation, food, internet, study materials) has been carried out as they live in communities far away from universities and come from low-income families that are not able to pay those indirect fees. Students usually come from single-teacher schools, therefore, their levels of knowledge about basic sciences (maths, physics, geometry and chemistry) are low so it is necessary to establish partnerships with universities to provide students with extra tutoring in order for them to acquire all the required knowledge. Strengthen the family is necessary in order for them to support students. Parents usually only finished elementary school, however, they value education and want their sons and daughters to go to university. The process of change done by this project is very important as it allows students from low-income families to change their family history by being the first ones to access to higher education and they will likely generate greater income. 25 Mixed-race youngsters from poor households who are living in the Province of Santa Elena (in an area where Plan is working) and are between 17 and 25 years old and are not benefiting from another educational grant. Delivering monthly scholarships to 23 students. Carrying out family visits to address situations such as: low academic performance, indiscipline, low motivation, death of relatives. Monthly meetings with the Student Scholarship Network in order to exchange ideas on how to improve interaction between Plan scholarship holders and the community in general, to disseminate the scholarships project, and to motivate other young people to pursue university studies.

Since 2015, Plan Ecuador has been developing scholarship programs aimed to support students to complete high school, but, even though they are intelligent and motivated, they has not been able to access to higher education due to the lack of economic resources. The University Scholarships Project was generated in 2016 by Plan Ecuador and NNO in order to support students from low-income families that are really motivated to access higher education. Subsequently, many other students wanted to join the project, therefore, a new scholarships project was generated based off the first one but improved the processes of selection, monitoring and training. Also partnerships were established with public, social and private organizations. The scholarship holders who participated in the first project became the mentors of the new ones and universities encourage students to join extracurricular activities and provide them with extra tutoring in order for them to acquire all the required knowledge. 10 Mixed-race youngsters from poor households who are living in the Province of Santa Elena (in an area where Plan is working) and are between 17 and 25 years old and are not benefiting from another educational grant. 10 university scholarships awarded. A monthly scholarship continues to be awarded to the 10 students during the 12 months of each year. Training sessions organized on the subject of entrepreneurships where scholarship holders learned the tools they need to start productive activities with few resources and using the knowledge they have learned so far in university. Organizing an expo fair where scholarship holders show their undertakings to the attendees, putting into practice the tools they learned in the communication and marketing workshops. Launching the UNIEDUCA Magazine to showcase the work carried out. In order to produce the magazine organizing a writing, photography and design workshop.

This project, which is being carried out by Plan and its partner, Association of European Parliamentarians with Africa (AWEPA), aims to eradicate this practice within a generation in selected communities in the Egyptian governorates of Assiut and Giza. To underscore the kind of optimum outcomes that are crucial for the permanent eradication of FMG/C this project is being carried out at individual, community and institutional levels. It teaches communities about girls’ rights and that FGM/C is illegal. It also encourages local organisations, like youth and women’s groups, to challenge norms and attitudes and it supports parliamentarians in implementing effective legislation. This four-year project started in January 2014 and is part of a bigger programme that is being carried out in four countries (Egypt, Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia). FGM/C is a violation of human rights and an extreme form of violence and discrimination against women. It involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other types of injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is viewed as a traditional practice, despite it being very painful and risky for the health of girls and women. It can also cause many complications during menstruation, pregnancies and childbirth, and can even sometimes result in death. FGM/C is still carried out on 74 per cent of girls between the ages of 15 and 18, mainly because of tradition and their mothers’ belief that it’s cleaner and that it gives their daughters a better chance of finding a husband. FGM/C is seen as a family responsibility and a way of preserving girls’ virginity by controlling their sexual behaviour. Doctors and other trained medical staff carry out 75 per cent of FGM/C. This “medicalisation" of FMG/C has had an undesired effect in that it has made the practice more accepted. To eliminate FGM/C, the social norms and values that fuel its continuation must be changed. Furthermore, legislation against FGM/C must be improved and enforced. Men and boys will have to lobby for this and girls must be empowered to stand up for their sexual and reproductive health rights, and supported in doing so too. Individuals and local organisations are being trained to act as human rights defenders, meaning the project is tackling FGM/C at individual, community and institutional levels. In the context of this project: - girls, boys, and local youth and women’s groups are being empowered to oppose these violations and are being trained as human rights defenders; - local development organisations, women’s groups and agents of change are lobbying to change the norms and values that justify and continue this harmful practice; - the legal and protection systems in the affected counties in Egypt are being strengthened and parliamentarians are being influenced. All activities in the project are inter-connected and individual and community initiatives are being supported by a legal framework. Local organisations are playing a watchdog role in the case of violations that have already happened or are about to happen, and taking the necessary steps against these violations. The Netherlands' Embassy in Egypt supports the strengthening and protection of human rights in the country. The UNICEF/UNFPA Joint Programme against FGM/C is strengthening the structure of the government at both national and regional levels. The project also works at community level and targets groups that are not yet covered by the above-mentioned initiatives, namely: girls, boys and local organisations and parliamentarians. It also targets the governorates of Assiut and Giza, where Plan Egypt is implementing different interventions. These interventions are in the areas of child protection, the eradication of FGM/C, youth initiatives, women and girls empowerment, economic empowerment, active citizenship and civil society engagement. Some 40,000 girls and 40,000 boys between the ages of 10 and 18 in Giza and Assiut will benefit from this project. The girls have been identified by Plan as being vulnerable to FGM/C. The boys are important because they are seen as the defenders and future guardians of the changed social norms and proponents of the eradication of FGM/C. The project’s activities are described below at three levels. At individual level the project entails: - the organisation of 60 FGM/C awareness sessions/campaigns in each governorate for 50 girls, young men, women and community leaders; - 16 trainings on child rights, drama and theatre communication for 15 girls, children & youth clubs and FGM/C awareness associations, to help and support them in serving as community agents among their peers; - 15 events like international days (women’s days, FGM/C Abandonment Day, Family Day) for awareness/public declaration campaigns. At community level the project entails: - eight Training of Trainer (ToT) sessions for 75 community promoters and volunteers, according to an FGM/C abandonment manual; - eight specific trainings on harmful practices/FGM/C, advocacy and ToT for community leaders, medical workers, religious leaders etc.; - eight specific trainings for healthcare staff, teachers and social workers in primary and preparatory schools, and family-counsellor training on pre-marriage awareness/counselling and reproductive health awareness and family-counselling skills; -eight trainings for local organisations in four communities and four child protection committees on girls’ rights, child protection and FGM/C, as well as advocacy activities to support the project at a local level; -eight exchange visits in which community members visit model villages where FGM/C has been eradicated; -16 meetings for the networks of local organisations that are working to counter violence against women/girls and harmful practices at governorate level. At institutional level the project entails: - quarterly meetings for the national anti-FGM/C committee to follow-up on FGM/C law enforcement; - workshops on lobbying and advocacy efforts to enforce anti-FGM/C legislation, with participants from local organisations, key ministries and human rights activist at national and governorate levels; - public-hearing sessions through community visit By changing social norms, this project is driving a permanent change in the way people see FGM/C. Once social norms in a community change, that change is usually irreversible, meaning that, thanks to this project, FGM/C prevalence rates will continue to drop after it has ended. By connecting and strengthening local organisations, youth groups and women groups, the project is installing structures that will remain in place after its completion. These organisations are acting in networks to jointly influence change at governorate and national levels. Furthermore, by creating safe spaces for girls and young women they will be able to discuss their problems and get the support they need to claim their rights. The project is also strengthening the linkages between the various types of change makers. This will improve cooperation in stopping FGM/C and give girls and young women access to important actors at local, state/district and even national levels. Once they are adopted, specific legislation and policies on FGM/C will continue to be effective. By training parliamentarians and improving the relationships they have with communities, parliamentarians will get a better overview of how laws are implemented and the impact that these laws have. This, in turn, will have a structurally beneficial impact on girls and young women in those communities.

The burden of the scarcity of safe water falls especially on women and girls, as they are the ones who are assigned the task of fetching water. Bad sanitation and Open Defecation (OD) cause diseases, and the sanitation situation in schools is dire. This project aims to improve access to sustainable WASH for vulnerable populations in the peri-urban areas of Likuni/Chigwirizano and T.A. Niewa in Lilongwe City, with a special focus on primary schools and surrounding communities. It is implemented by Plan International Netherlands, Plan International Malawi, and Vitens Evides International (VEI) in close collaboration with the Lilongwe Water Board (LWB). It runs from March 2016 until June 2019. Implementation includes infrastructure provision, capacity building and policy influencing. Provision of water in the urban areas of Malawi faces a lot of challenges due to the ever growing demand for water. This is even worse in the peri-urban areas of the major cities as people flock in such areas in search for cheap housing. Due to the competing demand for water, people living in the peri-urban areas are not prioritized for supply. Likewise, the existing water infrastructure in Lilongwe City does not meet the current and future demand of the rising population. Malawi loses a lot of economic productivity due to bad sanitation ($57 million) and Open Defecation (OD) ($14 million) and people falling ill from waterborne diseases ($0,3 million). They are absent from school and work and must access healthcare. Most of the times, girls and women are tasked to do the household, including fetching water. They thus spend a lot of time looking for water which in most cases is unsafe. Girls miss classes and women are not engaged in income generating activities, increasing inequality between the genders. With regards to sanitation, the situation is not good in schools. Learner to latrine ratio is very high, in some cases this goes as far as 1:150 against the government standard of 1:60. Learners face a very bad learning environment as most of the latrines are not in good condition and do not offer privacy for girls and do not take care of the needs of the physically challenged. This project combines infrastructure development, capacity building and policy-influencing to address issues relating to WASH in an integrated and comprehensive way. Improved water supply Improvements to the piped network are combined with the construction of water kiosks. They reduce queuing time for water, enabling more children especially girls to attend classes, and empower women to have ample time to do other economic empowerment activities. To ensure sustainable management the capacity of existing Water User Associations (WUA) is strengthened and new WUAs are established. Improved WASH for 1000 pupils in 5 schools in T.A. Njewa area Improved sanitation infrastructure ensures a hygienic environment at the schools. Latrines are inclusive, also for those with disabilities or girls having their menstruation. Special attention for Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) as it is an important reason for absenteeism. Formation and Capacity Building of Water User Associations and Sanitation related groups To enhance sustainability and operations of the kiosks, the WUAs are responsible for day to day operations and ensure that all residents in the LIAs have access to water. To enhance collective responsibility, capacity of teachers, learners, school health groups and school management committees is built on sanitation and hygiene issues. An enabling environment for the improvement of WASH services in peri-urban low income areas of Lilongwe City is promoted To capitalize and sustain achievements the policy, legislative and regulatory environment of the project is improved. Coordination is established and strengthened between relevant stakeholders involved in service delivery to ensure approaches are harmonised, complimentary and coherent. Various projects are being implemented in Malawi to improve WASH: - A Water Demand Management (WDM) Project is implemented in Mzuzu, in a PPP arrangement with Plan and Vitens Evides International (VEI), Mzuzu City Council (MCC) and Northern Region Water Board (NRWB). The project aims at mitigating water shortages, and improving sanitation through Urban Community Led Total Sanitation (UCLTS). - Pan African CLTS project by Plan in Lilongwe and Mulanje district. Promotes sanitation and hygiene practices - Peri Urban Sanitation and Hygiene Project by Plan with the EU in Mzuzu. Aims at improving sanitation, hygiene conditions, and waste management. - VEI and Lilongwe Water Board (LWB) with funding from EU and European Investment Bank (EIB) implemented a Peri-Urban Water and Sanitation project aimed at improving the technical, financial and managerial efficiency of the Board. LWB seeks VEIs support for a new investment program 2015-2020, aiming to reduce Non Revenue Water (NRW), Promote WDM and improve asset/stores management. - Plan Nederland and VEI signed a partnership agreement to be working together in WASH related activities in the developing countries - LWB engaged in major rehabilitation and renewal works with funding from the World Bank, EIB and the EU in order to meet the growing demand of water in the city. This end beneficiaries of this project are five Primary Schools in Peri Urban Areas of Lilongwe and their surrounding communities. The 15 water kiosks, serving an average in 3,750 people benefiting. Additionally, at least 10.000 people are being reached in surrounding communities, and will be provided with access to safe water supply through pipe network extension. The actions in the project are as follows: - Lilongwe water Board, using its mandate to supply water to the residents of the city of Lilongwe and the surrounding facilitates the construction of installation of pipe networks and 15 water kiosks in the project impact areas. Construction of water kiosks concentrates on Likuni/Chigwirizano area. In total, 15x250=3,750 of people are reached. - Plan Malawi facilitates the construction of socially inclusive latrines in 5 schools within the project impact area. These schools are connected to piped water supply from Lilongwe Water Board. Each school has a hand washing facility that is connected to the potable water supply and also a tap for drinking water. - Plan Malawi in partnership with Lilongwe Water Board and its local partners facilitates the formation of Water User Associations (WUAs) that take care of the management of the water kiosks to ensure sustainability and security of the kiosks. - Water User associations will be trained - Plan Malawi builds capacity of the School Management Committees and Parent/teachers associations on the correct usage and maintenance of latrines and water points. - Establish School WASH clubs (SWASH) on keeping the latrines in hygienic conditions at all times. Train students on good SWASH practices. - Community Sanitation and Hygiene Campaign will be implemented - An MHM Learners’ guide will be developed and piloted. - Health Clubs will be formed - Community/School awareness raising and obilization - selected teachers will be trained on MHM learners guide - Gender and inclusion, and M&E trainings will take place - Together with the School Management Committees and Parent/teachers associations a plan is developed on how the money for the payment of the water bills, repairs of the toilets and water points and cleaning materials (including soap) will be financed. - VEI provides technical expertise and guidance on water supply throughout the project duration. Advise good hardware (F) It is envisaged that the WUAs are supplied water from the LWB at a subsidized rate and in turn, the WUAs sell the water to the communities at a cheaper price. The price covers minor maintenance, security and operations. A community fund is pays for water bills and any maintenance that is deemed necessary on the drinking water points and latrines. The District Education Manager is envisaged to make annual contributions to the fund. The Ministry of education is the asset holder of the latrines. (I) An enabling environment for the improvement of WASH services is ensured to continue even after the project, targeting stakeholders involved in delivery as well as the government. Capacity of LWB and WUAs is strengthened. (E) The positioning of the latrines and kiosks is such that they do not harm the groundwater. (T) Water kiosks and latrines are made of materials that are affordable and easy to replace. Water kiosk operators are trained on maintenance. The WUAs are responsible for the overall management of kiosks even after the project closes, for which they receive training. (S) This project gives special attention to girls, women, and those with physical disabilities. Women groups, vulnerable groups and children are involved in the decision making and planning of the location for the water kiosks and school latrines. Women are also encouraged to be part of the kiosk management team and recruited as water sellers in various kiosks. The project is in a low-income area of the capital.

With this project, by changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, adolescents will be empowered to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project will give adolescents alternatives beyond EM and teenage pregnancies. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Nederland, together with partners Amref, Rutgers, Choice, KIT and the Netherlands’ Embassy (located in in Harare, Zimbabwe). Next to Malawi, similar projects under the same framework will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, Mozambique, Indonesia and Pakistan. Deep-rooted norms and expectations of girls and boys makes families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off. Gender inequality is putting girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships. For example, girls cannot refuse to have unprotected sex and this is resulting in a high level of teenage pregnancies. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves and claim their rights are limited and they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRHR information and services. There are close links between EM and teenage pregnancies and girls’ lack of education. Indeed, girls’ access to education is very restricted, which makes it difficult for them to find jobs later. It also hampers their economic independence. Legislation to outlaw EM is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. EM and teenage pregnancies mutually reinforce one another. Social and gender norms perpetuating EM are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people, including boys and men, support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of EM and teenage pregnancies. A general lack of information about SRHR and poor quality and access to the relevant services are perpetuating the above-mentioned problems. Adolescent boys and girls are being informed about SRHR and given a voice to claim these rights. Girls are being given more control over their lives. This is being achieved by changing these norms and people’s behaviour, strengthening networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedding these in communities, and by involving the government and the private sector in improving SRHR and services. All these will help to reduce EM and teenage pregnancies. This programme is a follow up of the Plan regional EM programme (18+) in Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique, in which adolescents are being trained as agents of change to make their voice heard in claiming their SRH rights. The programme is being implemented by the Yes I Do alliance in which each partner is adding value by implementing part of one or more of the intervention strategies. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried. During the inception phase (January – June 2016) country-specific plans will be developed, target groups and final beneficiaries identified and activities that are based on the overall intervention strategies will be designed. This will be worked out per country.

The bylaw is implemented to different extent in different areas in TA Liwonde. The bylaw says that child marriage should be dissolved and people involved will be fined. In addition, it stipulates issues around prevention of teenage pregnancy, school drop-out and sexual violance. At the district council level, it will be recognized (currently in progress), which is unique in Malawi. After this, the bylaw will cover not only TA Liwonde, but the whoel of Machinga district.

In the project, nine marginalised remote schools have been identified because of the lack of safe WASH facilities. Also amongst these students, are children with special needs. The overall objective is to ensure that boys and girls have access to adequate child friendly water supply, sanitation and handwashing facilities including provision of hygiene education. Plan is implementing the project in cooperation with district government officials, Elected Water Committee and Parent Teachers Association. The project is carried out in Chembe District and has started on 1-6-2016. It creates an enabling environment that provides the foundation for a scalable programme. An important activity is the focus on the realization of change in behaviour and to contribute to lasting outcomes for child health and education. In the selected project area most schools lack adequate WASH facilities. Especially in remote schools the situation is serious. For children with special needs it is even more challenging to attend the schools. The project will improve the WASH situation in 9 remote schools. By ensuring that boys and girls at 9 schools have access to adequate child friendly water supply and sanitation facilities with hand washing including provision of Hygiene education, (morbidity) rates of diarrhoea and other diseases caused by a lack of access to safe WASH will be reduced. To support provision of appropriate (child-friendly), adequate (sufficient quantity) and well-maintained WASH facilities at schools that include consideration for children with special needs (including girls during menstruation and students with physical disabilities); And provision of health and hygiene education, as part of a broader goal to improve health and learning outcomes. 2.440 boys and 2.397 girls at 9 schools in Chembe District, Luapula Programme Unit in Zambia Project Initiation 1. Start-up workshop to bring all implementation stakeholders on board and review project objectives and develop detailed implementation plan 2.

Discussing the lived experiences of adolescent girls and surrounding communities on how menses affect their opportunities to learn; and 4. Ensuring inclusive designs take into account the needs of adolescent girls are constructed in each school e.g. wash rooms and incinerators. 5. Training in WASH in schools Trainer of Trainers (Zone teachers, Environmental Health Technologists-EHTs and Community Development Assistants-CDAs including selected key district staff i.e. District Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education (D-WASHE) members. 6. Training of WASH in schools facilitators (Teachers and Parent Teachers Association members-PTAs). 7. Construction of 6 water points (boreholes) in the 6 schools that do not have adequate, safe and reliable water supply. 8. Construction of 31 child friendly latrine blocks, i.e. double VIPs consisting of two drop holes per block. In each school, these will be improvements over the below existing number: See Annex 1 Blocks are separated by sex, meeting the Government approved ratio of 50 pupils per drop hole. The latrines will provide girls privacy, and will have lockable doors. There will be a ramp for easy accessibility by disabled children on one entrance of the latrine, in line with the approved national standards by the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocation Training and Early Education (MESVTEE). The distribution of the latrines in the schools is based on school enrolment. The government focus is to construct latrines for pupils to reduce on absenteeism especially for senior girls. The project is not building any additional latrines for teachers due to limited funds. It is expected that teachers will use existing latrines and those provided for them at their houses, situated right next to the school. 9. Setting up mass hand-washing stations with soap. 10. Triggering School Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) in schools by trained school level facilitators and long term follow-ups. 11. Promotion of safe hygiene practices including handwashing with soap (HWWS), environmental sanitation, proper use and management of toilets and safe water practices: Daily Hand Washing With Soap (HWWS) exercise for all school children (twice/day): at morning and afternoon breaks (once per each stream); 12. All food retailers/canteen staff sensitised on hygiene promotion and compulsory HWWS before preparing meals + request to children to wash their hands before eating; 13.

Once per month: one Sanitation and Hygiene event happen in the school: triggering Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), HWWS demonstration, garbage disposal campaign e.t.c.; and 25. SLTS F Parent Teachers Association/Community will make payments for spare parts and the services of area mechanics. The Elected Water Committee mobilizes financial community contributions. I Built the results into the government appraisal procedure. Maintenance will be done according to the agreed national Sustainable Operation and Maintenance Approach (SOMAp) that Plan International Zambia has been part of its development . Local Authority/D-WASHE will be trained and made responsible for monitoring. Also a Water Committee will be elected. E The Elected Water Committee works closely with the Environmental Health Technologists (EHTs), other extension officers and the Ward Development Committee (WDC) on development. T In their application for the WASH facilities, the communities have demonstrated their plan to own the operations and maintenance works 100%. The Elected Water Committee supervises the construction works including the drilling of the borehole to understand technicalities involved in drilling and installation of hand pumps before handover. S A parent teachers association/community will be established which will monitor the local authority, plan the monitoring and inspect the facilities, and resolution of conflicts. The Elected Water Committee will also mobilizes other community contributions as labor and material. In Zambia, the Government through the Ministry of General Education (MoGE) works with several partners to improve school sanitation and hygiene practices among school pupils, including USAID, Water Aid, PLAN International, SNV, UNICEF, World Vision, GIZ and DGIS (Netherlands). The partners are working in partnership with Ministry of Education, Science, Vocation Training and Early Education (MESVTEE) and Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection (MWDSEP) to improve sanitation and hygiene practices in over 1,500 schools across all districts. Zone teachers, Environmental Health Technologists and Community Development Assistants, including selected key district staff i.e. District Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education (D-WASHE) members are also involved and play an important role in achieving the results. In the schools Teachers and Parent Association members also actively contribute.

With this project, by changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, adolescents will be empowered to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project will give adolescents alternatives beyond EM and teenage pregnancies. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Nederland, together with partners Rutgers, Choice, KIT and the Netherlands’ Embassy (located in in Harare, Zimbabwe). Next to Zambia, similar projects under the same framework will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Indonesia and Pakistan. Sustainability will be achieved a.o. through strengthening of local CSOs, involvement of and cooperation with key stakeholders including local government representatives, community and religious leaders and private partners. Key research gaps will be identified with the key stakeholders and direct beneficiaries and will be addressed to improve evidence based lobby and advocacy towards preventing CM and TP. Further strategies to enhance sustainability will be developed in the course of the project implementation. Deep-rooted norms and expectations about girls and boys make families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off. Gender inequality is putting girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships. For example, girls cannot refuse to have unprotected sex and this is resulting in a high level of teenage pregnancies. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves and claim their rights are limited and they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRHR information and services. There are close links between EM and teenage pregnancies and girls' lack of education. Indeed, girls’ access to education is very restricted, which makes it difficult for them to find jobs later. It also hampers their economic independence. Legislation to outlaw EM is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried. Throughout the project, different trainings will be given to influence the attitudes and behaviour of parents and community and religious leaders, as harmful practices such as EM and teenage pregnancies are deeply rooted in social norms. Plan supports the building of a social movement aimed at transforming these harmful social and gender norms. Community members from different backgrounds and of different ages who are the gatekeepers will be stimulated to engage in dialogue in relation to these practices, together with young people. The programme will create an enabling environment for young people and, particularly, support boys and girls who, based on their new knowledge, take action and, for example, influence service providers on SRHR. Also different activities focusing on improving access to adolescent SRHR information and Comprehensive Sexuality Education will take place. Actions for improvement of the access to adolescent SRH and child protection services will be undertaken by for instance training health staff, teachers and peer educators. The capacity of health care providers will be built to deliver quality and youth-friendly SRH services. As a result of these activities, the project will ensure that young people are referred to the SRH services they need and can take informed action on their SRHR. Also, the project will seek opportunities for girls to stay in school and develop economic prospects. Enrollment in secondary education is enhanced sensitizing activities for parents, teachers and the community that educating girls will benefit the entire family and the community. Parents and school teachers will be made aware of the positive correlation between education and EM and teenage pregnancies. By involving the private sector, the programme will provide opportunities to adolescent girls to gain access to a business network. Besides economic empowerment through education, the programme will also directly work towards girls’ economic empowerment by increasing their access to credit and income-generating activities through village saving and loan associations. It will help young women acquire entrepreneurial skills and access financial and business advisory services to enable them to start their own business. Through lobby and advocacy activities the project will motivate policymakers and duty bearers to put EM and teenage pregnancies, and adolescent SRHR issues in general, high on the political agenda, by increasing their awareness and understanding of the issues and their role as duty bearers. EM and teenage pregnancies mutually reinforce one another. Social and gender norms perpetuating EM are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people, including boys and men, support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of EM and teenage pregnancies. A general lack of information about SRHR and poor quality and access to the relevant services are perpetuating the above-mentioned problems. Adolescent boys and girls are being informed about SRHR and given a voice to claim these rights. Girls are being given more control over their lives. This is being achieved by changing these norms and people’s behaviour, strengthening networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedding these in communities, and by involving the government and the private sector in improving SRHR and services. All these will help to reduce EM and teenage pregnancies. This programme is a follow up of the Plan regional EM programme (18+) in Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique, in which adolescents are being trained as agents of change to make their voice heard in claiming their SRH rights. The programme is being implemented by the Yes I Do alliance in which each partner is adding value by implementing part of one or more of the intervention strategies.

In response to the El Niño induced drought, Plan addressed the severe food insecurity among the vulnerable households in the Kwekwe district, Midlands province, in Zimbabwe. Community resilience was strengthened by unconditional cash transfers, school feeding and provision of seeds. This project was part of the Dutch Relief Alliance program in Zimbabwe. The key objective of the project was to provide humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable people affected by the drought and food security crisis in Zimbabwe, while at the same time promoting early recovery strategies to avoid dependencies and ensure that humanitarian assistance can be scaled down at the time of the next harvest. The project focused on activities in the sectors that had been identified in the Humanitarian Response Plan 2016 for Zimbabwe as having the highest need. In response to the El Niño induced drought, this program will address the severe food insecurity among the vulnerable households in Kwekwe district, Midlands province. According to the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) rapid assessment of January 2016 , 44.370 people (24%) of Kwekwe district’s population are severely food insecure. As stated in the 2016 Humanitarian Needs Overview for Zimbabwe “child-headed households, the elderly, households affected by HIV and households with no livestock or access to remittances are the most vulnerable ”. Children, adolescents, pregnant and lactating women living with HIV have as well very limited access to cash for food, despite the availability of food on the local markets. As a result vulnerable households rely on cost-saving mechanisms, like skipping/reducing daily size meals and drastically limiting expenditures considered as non-life-saving, putting children at higher risk of malnutrition and starvation, developmental problems and abuse (resulting in child marriage and pregnancies, gender based violence, transactional sex and prostitution, child labor and school drop-out) . According to the Food and Nutrition Council, 62% of children who deserve school feeding assistance are currently not covered . This undermines the results of long term development multi-sectoral programming and the potentialities for early recovery. Another harmful coping mechanism is the sale of productive agricultural assets, such as seeds, while most households rely on agriculture for their income and food. As a consequence, the current drought is also jeopardizing next harvests and exacerbating the chronic poverty Zimbabwe has been facing for long, resurging its dependency on humanitarian food assistance and threatening the gains of long term efforts to build resilience in Zimbabwe. Food Security: Vulnerable households will be supported through unconditional cash transfers through Mobile Cash Transfer, as it is cheaper, reliable and adapted to the context. Every household will receive monthly remittances for 6 months, for an amount of 11 USD per month, per person. This amount is envisaged to be enough to cover purchase of cereal, cooking oil and pulses and other life-saving requirements. Beneficiaries will be selected through a community participatory process, facilitated by Plan staff and the members of the District Drought Relief Committee. Plan will support in the provision of lines with the mobile network supplier for those without. Post-disbursement monitoring will be done two weeks after every disbursement to ascertain utilization of the money and support in proper decision making on the funds to disburse. School Feeding program: Identified schools will be provided one time with sufficient Corn Soya Blend, based on the number of children enrolled, for a period of 6 months. Volunteer parents will be trained in each school to prepare the porridge in an hygienic way, under the leadership of the School Development Committees and the Ministry. Provision of seeds and strengthening of community resilience: Identified small scale farming livelihoods will be regularly trained in resilience building and Disaster Risks Mitigation sessions by the Ministry of Agriculture. The same households will be assisted with agricultural inputs in the form of drought resistant seeds of high yielding short season varieties of sorghum, pearl millet and cow peas, These are open pollinated varieties of seeds, whose cereals can be planted as seed for more than 3 years. Furthermore, seed multiplication among the farmers will be promoted with the support of the Crop Breeding Institute, providing extra income to the farmers. The project will target the 788 most food insecure households in Kwekwe district, Midlands province, like child and female headed families, elderly, people living with disability, people living with HIV/AIDS, single parents or widowed. Those beneficiaries are mostly challenged in accessing cash, food or jobs. The 2399 children, aged 3 to 10 years, benefitting from school feeding are 1026 boys and 1373 girls enrolled in the 6 most affected schools in Kwekwe district, mostly in ECD, grade 1 or grade 2 classes. To strengthen community resilience and climate smart agriculture 42 members of community based Disaster Risk Management committees, 48 members of School Development Committees, 60 parents and 1030 farmers will be trained.

NL-KVK-41198890-NIC100112 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Mi Plan de Vida started July 2016 and is implemented by Plan International Nicaragua and its local partners in three regions: Chinandega, Chontales and RACCN. The goal is to reduce teenage pregnancy through improving Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights services and awareness amongst adolescent girls and boys, their parents and community members through various activities and result areas. Adolescent girls and boys are 1. Informed about their SRHR rights and are able to take informed decisions. 2. Have alternatives to early relationships and teenage pregnancy through economic empowerment. 3. Parents and community leaders are informed and trained on more support to youth to help them with an alternative life plan. 4. Improved access to quality adolescent SRHR services by training health workers and institutional capacity building of health services and 5. Lobby towards the responsible government departments for better services. The incidence of early relationships and teenage pregnancies in Nicaragua is amongst the highest in the region. Amongs the causes for this high incidence are the deeply rooted social norms including a masculinity culture, high incidence of gender based violence, gender inequalities and poor ASRHR information and service provision. The overall objective of the project Mi Plan de Vida is to prevent teenage pregnancies, through various activities and result areas: 1. Adolescent girls and boys are informed about their SRHR rights and are able to take informed decisions regarding their SRHR. Groups of girls and boys are organized and trained through the Champions of Change method to become aware of their SRHR rights, to be enabled to form networks to engage with their community members on social norms esp masculinity norms and practices including gender based violence. 2. Adolescent girls and boys have alternatives to early relationships and teenage pregnancy through economic empowerment. Activities include vocational training and business skills training. 3. Parents and community leaders are informed and trained on having more positive and supportive relationships with the younger generation and support them to have an alternative life plan 4. Improved access to quality adolescent SRHR services by training health workers and institutional capacity building of health services and 5. Evidence based advocacy towards the responsible government departments. This program partly builds on the experience of Plan Nicaragua as part of the Girl Power Alliance. The Girl Power program was implemented between 2011 and 2015 and was focused on prevention and response to Gender Based Violence especially against adolesent girls (and boys). Mi Plan de Vida is more focused on prevention of early relationships and teenage pregnancy and is implemented in three regions including two of the former Girl Power program implementing regions, Chontales and RACCN. Mi Plan de Vida builds on the networks and achievements of Girl Power program. On the other hand, Mi Plan de Vida approach is much more from SRHR perspective whereas Girl Power program worked more with the judicial institutions and approach to prevent Gender Based Violence. Target groups are adolescent girls and boys between 13 and 19 years. The sustainability of the results was foreseen by having a highly participative approach, creating Champion of Change networks of adolescent boys and girls which will interact with their communities to change the social/masculinity norms which, among other factors, lead to GBV, early relationships and teenage pregnancies. However, in April 2017 the political situation in Nicaragua changed dramatically which is impacting the implementation of the project activities and the foreseen sustanability negatively. The program focuses on prevention of and response to teenage pregnancy through comunity mobilisation, improving access to education and economic empowerment activities.

NL-KVK-41198890-NPL100307 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY This project builds on the EC funded ""Free Kamaiya Livelihood Development Project” (2008 – 2012) and aims to set up saving and loans groups for women, with the ultimate objective to rehabilitate 37,500 children from 7,500 Free Kamaiya families. An assessment of the 319 Self Reliant Groups (SRGs) formed revealed that the groups were improving the livelihood of their members. The study also concluded that most groups were not yet functioning independently. A new project phase was started in September 2013 to address this gap. This project, ""Capacity building of SRGs and Women Cooperatives”, supports SRG members with skills, knowledge and capabilities to establish and manage inclusive Savings and Credit cooperatives, with the overall aim to alleviate poverty among 11.825 Free Kamaiya families and other vulnerable groups in Bardiya and their 47.300 children. The Government of Nepal abolished the Kamaiya bonded labour system in July 2000 and thousands of Kamaiya families were set free from this system. Evicted from their landowners, they had no other productive asset but their manual skills and were not prepared to build a livelihood from scratch. With the financial support of the European Union, PLAN NEPAL implemented the “Free Kamaiya Livelihood Development Project” (FKLDP)in Bardiya district from January 2008 to December 2012 to contribute to the rehabilitation of 37,500 children from 7,500 free Kamaiya families by developing a livelihood free of poverty and servitude, a.o. by facilitating the provision of financial services to the beneficiaries and building their capacity to manage small loans and developed their technical skills. The project was able to organize 7702 free Kamaiyawomen into 319 Self Reliant Groups (SRGs) spread over 28 Village Development Committees (VDCs) and one municipality (Gulariya) in Bardiya district. Group members started saving money on a monthly basis, each SRG was linked to one of the 4 branches of a private micro-finance institution which were opened during the project. During the course of the intervention, members started saving money and borrowing from the bank to engage into productive activities. Although the final evaluation in 2013 learnt that most of the output and outcome indicators were met, especially by organizing free Kamaiya women into SRGs and initiate some income generating activities, the families were yet to increase food production and to generate sufficient income for their families. The income generating opportunities were limited and almost exclusively linked to agriculture. The size of the land they owned or occupied was very small. Many were wage labourers for local farmers, sharecroppers (sometimes cultivating the land of the same landlord they were bonded to) or they migrate to neighboring India on a seasonal basis. The household production hardly meet their annual household food needs as they followed traditional farming system. Most of the households had less than adequate income to meet household requirement including meeting expenses for educating children and spending on medication when they fall sick. Besides many Free Kamaiya women especially younger women were not enrolled in SRGs as yet and continued borrowing from the local money lenders at a high interest rate for their emergency needs. They continue to be indebted and remain in poverty. A mapping of the 219 SRGs formed under the project showed that these are playing a key role in improving the livelihood of their members and raising their level of confidence but most of them were still not mature and strong enough. In the absence of a specific dynamic aimed at further building their financial and technical capacities there was a high risk they would collapse. A mapping in 2013 of the 219 SRGs formed under the FKLDP project showed that these were playing a key role in improving the livelihood of their members and raising their level of confidence but most of them were still not mature and strong enough. In the absence of a specific dynamic aimed at further building their financial and technical capacities there was a high risk they would collapse. The current project was designed in 2013/4 to build further on the FKLDP project and especially bring the SRGs towards a level of sustainability and facilitate further processes especially strengthen the community structures and relevant government services to enhance the livelihoods of vulnerable families towards more sustainability. The sustainability of the action will rest on the institutionalization of SRGs into 29 village Women Saving and Credit Cooperatives. The Overall Objective is to contribute to lifting out of poverty of 11825 Free Kamaiya families and other vulnerable groups of Bardiya district to realize the full potential of their 47.300 children. Village level meetings of all Self Reliant Group members will be organized The meeting will discuss and finalize processes for the formation of the Women saving and credit Cooperatives. Plan will organize sub-sector analysis workshops in each village to find out economic sub-sectors that have comparative and competitive advantage of the SRG members and that of their family. SRG members will be provided with entrepreneurship skills to undertake the economic activities that are advantageous to them. They will be organized in the thematic enterprising groups such as production groups and are provided with technical backstopping and market access. The SRGs will be facilitate and trained to form into 29 Women Cooperatives and learn how to manage these. Regular technical backstopping will be provided by the project staffs of Plan and partners. Originally was designed for three years (2013-2016). However, at the end of the intended project period an assessment was done which showed that although the institutionalization of the Self Reliant Group into 29 Women Cooperatives was achieved, more than half of the Women Cooperatives were still too weak to be self-sufficient and sustainable. Hence it was decided to extend the project with addional budget to further support and train the management and members of the SRGs and Women Cooperatives to enhance the sustainability of the 29 Women Cooperatives and further support its members into developing small businnesses to achieve the overall goal of the project. The final evaluation of the project end of 2018 showed that the set target (80% or 23 of the Women Cooperatives are sustainable) has been met.

It runs from January 2016 to December 2020, and is carried out in in Amhara Regional State North Wollo Zone, targeting 26 Kebeles (wards). Through lobby and advocacy, the programme works with government, traditional and religious leaders, private sector agents, local CSO’s and youth advocates to combat FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), child marriages, child trafficking and sexual exploitation and strives for decent work. One of the most common forms of GBV is domestic violence. This includes physical, psychological, sexual violence by family members or intimate partners. ACPF’s study shows that more than 84 % of girls in Ethiopia reported to have experienced some form of physical abuse where as 30% reported to have been victims of rape. Studies show that more than half of the women or girls (50-70%) not report cases of GBV, primarily due to the fact that they may be stigmatized and shamed by the community. A number of underlying factors help perpetuate violence against girls in Ethiopia some of which include: traditional gender norms, parental concerns surrounding premarital sex and pregnancy and the desire to secure social, economic, or political alliances. Different types of harmful practices are prevalent in the country, in particular female genital mutilation (23% of 0-14 girls in 2011), child marriage (17% of girls between 15-19 in 2014) and sexual violence. In 2010, 49% of children aged 15 and 16 years were out-of-school (53% girls). In 2008/09 girls comprised 27.6% of the total number of students enrolled in grades 11 and 12, 46.2% in technical and vocational training and 29% in higher education in 2007/08. Girls between the age group of 10 to 17 are the most affected by school drop-out. These groups are also more at risk of being trafficked, forced into commercial sex, and end up as domestic housemaids and subsequent labour and sexual exploitation. The Theory of Change for the Girls Alliance Programme in Ethiopia follows four interrelated paths. Three of these lead to legislation, understanding, adherence and monitoring of public and private policies and practices regarding violence against girls and young women and their economic empowerment. Each focuses on a specific type of actor: (1) government officials at national, state, province, district and community level, and representatives of customary systems; (2) private sector actors; and (3) girls’ and women’s organisations and other CSOs and CSO networks with enhanced organisational and advocacy capacity. The fourth path leads to the abandonment of social norms and practices that discriminate against gender and to the change of deeply rooted and widely upheld beliefs that negatively affect policy makers, local government officials, local courts and/or service providers’ willingness to adopt and implement gender equality policies. The main actors are community, traditional and religious leaders and other key opinion leaders. Each of the paths will entail three levels of change: agenda setting, policy setting and, ultimately, changes in practices. The Girls Alliance Programme builds on the outcomes realised, lessons learned and relationships built up by the three alliance organisations during various programmes. An example in Ethiopia is the Girl Power Programme that was implemented from 2011 till 2015 by an alliance of six Dutch NGOs, including lead organisations Plan Netherlands and Defence for Children – ECPAT Netherlands. The Girl Power Programme focused on the wellbeing and economic empowerment of girls and young women, making them better protected against sexual and other forms of gender-based violence and improving their access to secondary education. The Girls Alliance Programme will build on the thematic and strategic expertise and experience that was gained during the Girl Power Programme, including partnering, networking and collaboration and cooperation. The end beneficiaries of the Girls Alliance Programme of Plan in Ethiopia will be girls and young women (up to the age of 24) in Amhara Regional State North Wollo Zone, of which 26 Kebeles of Lasta Woreda will be targeted. The programme focuses on four strategic goals. 1. Public support for the long-lasting positive change on the wellbeing of girls and young women and the economic inclusion, will be increased. 2. The influence of civil society organisations and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s focused CSOs) on governmental and corporate/private-sector actors on the wellbeing and the economic inclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 3. The policies and practices of corporate/private-sector actors that support long-lasting positive change on the wellbeing of girls and young women and economic inclusion, will be improved. 4. Legislation and public policies, as well as improved practices of governmental actors, that support long-lasting positive change on the wellbeing of girls and young women and economic inclusion, will be effectively implemented. The programme embraces two main strategies. The first of these involves strengthening CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s focused organisations). This will make them better able to influence government and private-sector actors for the long-lasting positive change on the wellbeing of girls and young women and the economic inclusion of girls and young women. The second of these strategies entails collaboration/cooperation and promotion of increased public support, improved policies and practices of private-sector actors, as well as effective implementation of legislation and public policies and the improvement of practices of governmental actors that support the long-lasting positive change on the wellbeing of girls and young women and economic inclusion. The changes that will be instigated by the Girls Alliance Programme in Ethiopia will be sustainable. The main strategies of the programme, which are capacity development and policy influencing, will both underscore sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be ensured by the programme’s focus on capacity strengthening of all local partner organisations. This will be based on carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and then annual assessments of the progress in custom developed capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the programme’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change it will initiate, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the life of the programme. These aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening trajectories that will be developed and rolled out with all local partner organisations. Inclusivity is an important principle of the programme and this will also be embedded in the capacity-development activities. Lesson(s) Learning and reflection are important aspects of the programme. During the course of 2016, a learning agenda will be worked out and this will focus on the continuous assessment of the assumptions underlying the programme’s design and Theories of Change. These Theories of Changes will be reviewed critically every year at country, regional and alliance levels, resulting in strategic adjustments where necessary to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the interventions. Learning will also be an outcome of the programme’s evaluation agenda. A baseline will be conducted in the first half of 2016 and a midterm review and final evaluation are scheduled for 2018 and 2020 respectively. unspecified Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Amhara Addis Abeba Democratic participation and civil society Ending violence against women and girls Protection against violence (including gender based violence) Youth Economic Empowerment & Education Gender Equality LEARN - Skills opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship (SOYEE) THRIVE - Protection 1812000 148427 1782000 unspecified 25000 unspecified 19366 unspecified 131423 unspecified 130303 unspecified 290329 unspecified 93406 unspecified 150000 unspecified 130000 unspecified 300000 unspecified 70000 unspecified 70000 unspecified 140000 unspecified 60000 unspecified 25000 unspecified 50000 unspecified 2994 2090 2282 700 1486 190 428 2958 1511 1198 -28470 3008 1927 9180 8562 3481 2314 2350 475 1926 1218 5445 2230 1571 1231 4686 5974 10518 1426 618 628 1074 808 10348 1452 5322 -1714 2871 2705 1650 732 1866 1140 1847 33120 3562 1631 1433 535 -9322 -3888 674 1880 4870 2826 1168 2529 2082 GAA: # of targeted national and regional CSOs attend network meeting organized by the alliance. # of network meetings GAA: # of dialogues between alliance local partners and communities, religious and traditional leaders GAA: # of dialogues between alliance local partners and targeted CSOs.

With this project, by changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, adolescents will be empowered to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project will give adolescents alternatives beyond EM, teenage pregnancies and FGM/C. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Netherlands, together with partners Amref, Rutgers, Choice, KIT and the Netherlands Embassy in Addis Ababa and will be carried out in Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Indonesia and Pakistan as well. Deep-rooted norms and expectations of girls and boys makes families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off and forcing them to undergo FGM/C. Gender inequality is putting girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships. For example, girls cannot refuse to have unprotected sex and this is resulting in a high level of teenage pregnancies. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves are limited and they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRH information and services. There are close links between EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies and girls’ lack of education. Indeed, girls’ access to education is very restricted, which makes it difficult for them to find jobs later. It also hampers their economic independence. Legislation to outlaw FGM/C is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies have similar root causes and these practices mutually reinforce one another. Social and gender norms are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people, including boys and men, support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies. A general lack of information about SRH and poor quality and access to the relevant services are perpetuating the above-mentioned problems. Adolescent boys and girls are being informed about SRH and given a voice to claim this information and these services. Girls are being given more control over their lives. This is being achieved by changing these norms and people’s behaviour, strengthening networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedding these in communities, and by involving the government and the private sector in improving SRH and services. All these will help to reduce EM, FGM/C and teenage pregnancies. This programme is a follow up of the Plan regional EM programme (18+) in Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique, in which adolescents are being trained as agents of change to make their voice heard in claiming their SRH. The programme is being implemented by the Yes I Do alliance in which each partner is adding value by implementing part of one or more of the intervention strategies. Ethiopia was selected based upon on-going programmes of the alliance partners on FGM/C, EM and teenage pregnancies in the respective countries. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried. Plan Ethopia focusses mainly on economic empowerment and education for girls ( pathway 4) with few community sensitization activities for an enabling environment under pathway 1. main activities: • Strengthen and support youth activist groups • Menstrual Hygiene Management at schools • Provide financial support and income generating activities for drop outs • Support girls clubs in school to create a safe and quality driven school environment. • Provide teacher training on Gender Responsive pedagogy This will be worked out per country.

The survey included question about child marriage. We obtained a sample size of 1600 using a standard formula- taking into account possible “design effects” because of the clustered sampling- we multiplied the required sample by 1.5 and had a ratio of 75% female respondents and 25% male respondents. However- the political unrest impacted the administration of data collection- in Bahirdar Zuria nly 46% of the planned target- in Qewet it was possible to reach 100% target. This resulted in an overall coverage of 73% (1166 respondents) as compared to the planned target.

Contrary to previous years where the # of trained community groups were counted, these are networks of community groups The networks took different initiatives to reduce and bring promising behavioural change towards on CM, FGM and GBV issues. For instance, the groups established in the flower firms influenced the firms management and then 6 flower firms revised their HR and incorporated GBV/gender issues as a policy. The trained groups also established a firm committee to be the voice of girls and young women working in the firm as well the members of the groups take initiatives/commitment not to tolerate case of GBV and report it on timely manner. 10 community conversation groups, 7 change agent groups, 7 youth activist groups 28 Community Conversation groups with 560 members (280 male, 280 female), 7 change agent groups, 15 youth activist gropus and 18 peer groups in local communities are created to address CM, TP and FGM and gender inequality Girls clubs, Community counselling groups, SRHR clubs, mini media clubs, youth activist groups, peer groups, YID groups 28 CC groups, 15 Youth activist groups & 18 peer groups that were already established last year were strenghtened and actively performed awareness raising sessions including peer to peer dialogues 68 CC groups, 20 Iddir, 40 CoC and 10 Meharebe clubs,10 in-school girls clubs 68 CC groups, 20 Iddir, 40 CoC and 10 Meharebe clubs,10 in-school girls clubs Activities by these groups school based community members organized a school level campaign at Korebta kebele Salayish primary school and a total of 500 students including community members/parents (Female: 200 female) sensitized on child marriage and unsafe migration by school directors, club facilitator and kebele manager. • To act against HTPs (CM, FGM and TP) multi-stakeholder network is established at community level in 10 kebeles of Bahir Dar Zuria Woreda.

Over 7,500 people died and more than 14,000 were injured. Although Plan was already active in Nepal at the time, this was mostly in areas that were not affected by the earthquake. After carrying out a rapid needs assessment, Plan quickly started working in Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha, two of the 14 most affected districts. In these areas, water systems had been damaged and people didn’t have access to clean and safe drinking water. Children’s lives were changed dramatically, some were separated from their families, others were injured or deeply traumatised. This project is focusing on child protection and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), targeting the children who are affected and their families. Plan Nepal is implementing the project with its local partners. The project started 1 May 2015 and will run till 30 April, 2017. The earthquake caused many problems in Nepal. -During the earthquake many of the water transportation systems in the rural areas of the country were either partially or completely destroyed. These systems, many of which were more than 25 years old, transported clean drinking water from natural sources in the mountains to the villages, which relied on them. -The earthquake damaged many latrines (toilets). Without them, many villagers were forced to urinate and defecate in the open. In addition to causing diseases, this also exposed these villagers to potential harm, due to snakebites or other hazards, for example. -Many children lost their loved ones during the earthquake, or were severely traumatised in other ways. Schools were also destroyed, meaning children could not continue their education. -Natural disasters like this one often cause an increase in child trafficking. This was also the case in Nepal. -After the earthquake, adolescents did not have enough access to hygiene materials. This project focuses on WASH and Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) interventions. By providing the necessary facilities, materials and education, the WASH intervention will prevent the spread of illnesses from excrement contamination among the people affected by the earthquake. This is being achieved by: - repairing water systems, or schemes, that are slightly or extensively damaged; - repairing family toilets together with the restoration of these water schemes; - providing shared toilets for temporary settlements; - providing access to hygiene materials and information. After these activities are carried out, people will have access to clean and safe drinking water, as well as to toilets. The importance of the latter should not be underestimated because open defecation increases the spread of diseases. But only providing and repairing water schemes and toilets are not enough; people must also be taught how to maintain them and how to adopt good hygiene practices. The CPiE intervention will provide a safe environment for children. This will be achieved by: -providing access to improved psycho-social support and child-protection services for girls and boys; -providing access to multi-sectoral services (such as anti-trafficking booths) and support for children who are at risk; - strengthening and supporting community-based child protection mechanisms (CBCPMs). Both these interventions will address the internal, psycho-social wellbeing of children, as well as their external living environment. They will then learn how to deal with their trauma in a safe environment, without needing to fear being trafficked. Although Plan has been working in Nepal for the past 38 years, this was not in these specific target areas. Therefore, prior to the earthquake, there were no Plan interventions on which to build. The end beneficiaries of the project are children, particularly girls. And thanks to improved water and sanitary provisions, the families of the children and other community members will also benefit. The project’s main activities per intervention, and broken down into their respective component parts, are given below for both the WASH and the CPiE interventions. 1. WASH The restoration of water schemes, that had incurred either minor or major damage, comprised the following activities: - consulting with the Water and Sanitation Users Committee (WSUC), the Village Development Committee (VDC) and the Village WASH Coordination Committee (VWASHCC); - assessing damaged water and sanitation schemes, jointly done by Plan and its partner; - preparing a detailed plan and estimate for repairs, carried out by the partner and with technical oversight by the Plan WASH coordinator; - providing support and materials (pipes, fittings, etc.) to repair minor damage identified in the water schemes, managed by WSUC with technical support from the partner; - repairing water supply schemes, managed by WSUC, with technical support provided by the partner; - reorienting the WSUCs on operation and maintenance. The repair of family toilets, together with the repair of community water schemes, comprised the following activities: - providing the necessary training and instructions for sanitation and hygiene promoters; - organising re-triggering sessions to promote community leadership in collective improvement efforts; - providing essential materials to repair damaged toilets for an estimated 25 per cent of households in the catchment areas of 22 WSUCs (whereby one WSUCs covers approximately 200 households; - conducting a toilet repair day, organised and led by the WSUC and monitored by the partner. Organising the shared toilets for the temporary settlements comprised the following activities: - coordinating with the VWASHCs, to reach agreement on the selection criteria and other processes; - planning and agreement with local partners, communities and CBOs about triggering and re-triggering in the communities (triggering is raising awareness in the communities); - providing support materials (toilet pans, piping and other materials), to be managed by the VWASHCCs, for approximately 25 per cent of the households in 11 VDCs; - conducting a toilet repair day, led by the WSUC in conjunction with the VWASHCC. Providing the necessary access to hygiene materials and information comprised the following activities: - providing training in emergency sanitation for community mobilisers (social workers); - providing instructions on the proper dosage and use of water-treatment materials; - promoting good hygiene in temporary learning spaces; - promoting good hygiene among community groups; - distributing basic hygiene materials; - pre-stocking hygiene materials; - distributing the necessary materials to ensure menstrual hygiene. 2. Child protection: Providing the necessary access to improved psycho-social support and child-protection services for girls and boys comprised the following activities: - equipping 16 Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) with psycho-social, learning and recreational materials in Dolhaka; - equipping 28 mobile outreach teams in Sindupakchok and Dolakha with what they need to provide psycho-social support in remote locations; - equipping 208 community mobilisers with what they need to provide psycho-social support, protection, prevention and response to children’s-rights offenders - transforming eight CFS into child-protection and care centres; - making it possible for girls and boys to benefit from psycho-social, life-skills and protection activities; - providing support sessions for parents and caregivers (male and female) so that they can give adequate support, care and protection to the children in their care; - giving girls and boys personal development kits. Giving access to multi-sector services and support to girls and boys who are at risk, comprised the following activities: - providing life-saving information and support through 16 community-based helpdesks; - establishing an anti-trafficking monitoring booth at the border; - providing adolescent girls with the essential hygiene supplies (dignity kits). Strengthening and supporting the CBCPMs comprised the following activities: - supporting and strengthening Village Child Protection Committees and children’s/youth clubs; - arranging awareness-raising activities for community members about child-protection issues; - providing the appropriate support services to girls and boys identified by the CBCPMs as being at risk. To supply water to the affected villages, water schemes must be restored. And once they are restored they will provide water for those villages for many years. The restoration of these water schemes is being driven by the communities and local governments, and local administrators are also being included in the process. So while Plan is funding these restoration schemes, they are being carried out with the support of the communities, making them feel like the ‘owners’ of the process. And the same goes for the latrines. The CFS are temporary structures made from materials that last for just a few seasons. They were set up for six months to provide the necessary services directly after the earthquake. After six months they were transformed into Temporary Learning Centers (TLC). These are now being used for various purposes, such as hosting Children Village Development Meetings. Plan is working with local organisations, which are implementing the projects. An important part of working with these organisations is building up their capacity. Many of them do not yet have the capability of implementing programmes in accordance with international standards, so Plan is building up their capacity to do so. When Plan leaves, these local organisations will be able to take over the projects.

It promotes equal rights and opportunities for girls and young women, reducing poverty and stimulating inclusive economic growth. Particular emphasis is being placed on improving policies and practices for the eradication of violence against girls and women and ending their economic exclusion. In Nepal, the Girls Advocacy Programme is being implemented by Plan Nepal, it will run from January 2016 to December 2020. It will be implemented in a number of districts by Plan Nepal and its implementing partner, WOREC. Working with civil society organisations (CSOs), community leaders and members and governmental and private-sector actors, the Girls Advocacy Programme aims to eliminate child marriage, menstrual seclusion, child trafficking and (sexual) exploitation and abuse. Violence against girls and young women and the denial of their economic rights stand in the way of achieving meaningful gender equality. Serious violations of these human rights are affecting millions of girls and young women. Societies pay a high price for not tackling these issues. A 2011 Nepalese demographic and health survey found that 22 per cent of women between 15 and 49 have experienced physical violence at some point. Another study in six selected districts revealed that almost half of the women questioned (48 per cent) have experienced violence at some time in their lives. The study also revealed that one in ten adolescent girls (9.8 per cent) experience sexual violence (OPMCM, 2012). In Nepal, several factors contribute to gender-based violence (GBV) and the denial of women’s economic rights. These include women’s legal subordination, their economic dependency on their fathers and husbands, their unequal position in society, what men see as their entitlement to sex, women’s lack of education, insufficient knowledge of their sexual and reproductive health and rights, customary marriage practices, and a lack of family and legal support. Physical and economic aspects of gender-equality are intertwined. A lack of economic opportunities makes it very difficult for girls and young women to refuse child marriage and makes them more vulnerable to child trafficking and commercial and sexual exploitation. The Theory of Change for the Girls Advocacy Programme in Nepal follows four interrelated paths. Three of these lead to legislation, understanding, adherence to and the monitoring of public and private policies and practices regarding violence against girls and young women and their economic empowerment. Each of these paths focuses on a specific type of actor: (1) government officials at national, state, province, district and community level, and representatives of customary systems; (2) private-sector actors; and (3) girls’ and women’s organisations and other CSOs and CSO networks with enhanced organisational and advocacy capacity. The fourth path leads to the abandonment of social norms and practices that discriminate against gender. It also leads to a change of deeply rooted and widely upheld beliefs that negatively affect policy makers, local government officials, local courts and/or service providers’ willingness to adopt and implement gender-equality policies. The main actors are community, traditional and religious leaders and other key opinion leaders. Each of the paths will entail three levels of change: agenda setting, policy setting and, ultimately, changes in practices. The Girls Advocacy Programme builds on the outcomes realised, lessons learned and relationships built up by the three alliance organisations during various programmes. An example in Nepal is the Girl Power Programme that was implemented from 2011 till 2015 by an alliance of six Dutch NGOs, including lead organisations Plan Nederland and Defence for Children – ECPAT Nederland. The Girl Power Programme focused on the political and economic empowerment of girls and young women, making them better protected against sexual and other forms of GBV and improving their access to secondary education. The Girls Advocacy Programme will build on the thematic and strategic expertise and experience that was obtained during the Girl Power Programme, including partnering, networking and lobbying and advocacy. Furthermore, in Nepal, the Girls Advocacy Programme will build directly on the results of Girl Power projects and the processes of change to which they contributed. The end beneficiaries of the Girls Advocacy Programme of Plan Nepal will be girls and young women (up to the age of 24) in xx districts. The programme focuses on four strategic goals. 1. Public support for the eradication of GBV and for the economic inclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 2. The influence of CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations) on governmental and corporate/private-sector actors to eradicate GBV and support the economic inclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 3. The policies and practices of corporate/private-sector actors that support the eradication of GBV and support the economic inclusion of women, will be improved. 4. Legislation and public policies, as well as improved practices of governmental actors, that support the prevention of GBV and support the economic inclusion of women, will be effectively implemented. The programme embraces two main strategies. The first of these involves strengthening CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations). This will make them better able to influence government and private-sector actors to eradicate GBV and support the economic inclusion of girls and young women. The second of these strategies entails influencing policies to increase public support and improve the policies and practices of private-sector actors, as well as the effective implementation of legislation and public policies. It also includes improving the activities of governmental actors that support the prevention and eradication of GBV and that support the economic inclusion of girls and young women. Specific methods used to influence policies are lobbying, advocacy (including media campaigns and ICT), research and linking and networking. The changes that will be introduced by the Girls Advocacy Programme in Nepal will be sustainable. Moreover, the main strategies of the programme, which are capacity development and policy influencing, will both underscore sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be ensured by the focus on strengthening the capacity of all local partner organisations. This will be based on carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and then annual assessments of the progress on custom-developed capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the programme’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change it will initiate, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the completion of the programme. These aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening trajectories that will be developed and rolled out with all local partner organisations. Inclusivity is an important principle of the programme and this will also be embedded in the capacity-development activities. Learning and reflection are important aspects of the programme. In 2016 a learning agenda will be worked out and this will focus on the continuous assessment of the assumptions underlying the programme’s design and Theories of Change. These will be reviewed critically every year at country, regional and alliance levels, resulting in strategic adjustments where necessary to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the interventions. Learning will also be an outcome of the programme’s evaluation agenda. A baseline will be conducted in the first half of 2016 and a mid-term review and final evaluation are scheduled for 2018 and 2020 respectively. The lobbying and advocacy part of the programme and its thematic orientation on GBV and economic empowerment will provide plenty of opportunities for visibility in Nepal. This will mainly be through newspaper articles, radio and television interviews and programmes, presentations during conferences and media and public campaigns. Visibility in the Netherlands will focus on providing input for evidence-based lobbying of the Dutch government (“dialogue and dissent”) and of corporate companies and multinationals. There will also be opportunities for visibility through newspaper and magazine (Vice Versa) articles, radio interviews, and presentations during forums and conferences.

Feedback received from Plan Netherlands, GAA Regional Coordinator and TAAN has been incorporated apart from Plan Nepal experts. TOR has been shared with HAN and feedback is awaited. In addition to this research, GAA is collaborating with AIESEC for mobilizing international volunteers to collect primary data from the women working in tourism sector specifically from Kathmandu and Pokhara. TOR for international volunteer has been developed and shared with AIESEC. Both studies are targeted to start from August. Links with GAA indicator # of trainings on GBV and decent work attended by private sector representative Capacity building for HAN staffs and boards members of both HAN and TAAN was planned for this quarter. However due unavailability of time of HAN and TAAN member this could not be carried out till end of December. This activity will be completed by end of February 2019. After the endorsement of Policies (Gender, Child protection, Ethical hiring and decent work place) by TAAN, orientation was done on the code of conduct of those policies to the TAAN members in the Pokhara chapter on 3rd Dec 2019. The TAAN members in Pokhara showed positive interest and shared their commitment to roll out the code of conduct with their members. Links with GAA indicator # of targeted national and regional CSOs trained in gender policy and practices In this quarter, workshop on International Accountability mechanism was held at four GAA working districts(Sunsari, Sindhuli, Bardiya and Kailali). 46 CSOs were trained in this quarter. The trainings were targeted for the conceptual clarity on UN mechanism, international convention CEDAW, UNESCR, CRC and Sustainable development goal. The concluding observation of the CEDAW committee to Nepal government on its sixth period report were also shared in this workshop. This training will support CSOs to strengthen their advocacy efforts on the basis of the International Human Rights mechanism.

Different programs like interactions programs with media, mass sensitization by religious leaders, street drams, rally, etc. were jointly organized as a part of this campaign. . 48 rounds of orientation to the girls, boys, and young women groups were organized in this quarter reaching 2067 girls, boys and youths. The orientations on different issues like child marriage, legal provision on child marriage, legal age of marriage, sexual violence, its prevalence laws and harmful tradition practices, GBV and its consequences were conducted in this quarter. The orientation has led to sensitization among community group to address the root cause of child marriage, sexual violence and harmful traditional practices. The number achieved is higher than planned due to orientations conducted at the school targeting the children and youth based on the request of authorities. There is no financial implications due to increase in number.

It promotes equal rights and opportunities for girls and young women. Particular emphasis is being placed on improving policies and practices for the eradication of violence against girls and women and ending their economic exclusion. In India, the Programme is being implemented by Plan India and Terre des Hommes together with local CSO partners. The Girls Advocacy Programme runs from January 2016 to December 2020 in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Through lobby and advocacy, the programme works with government, community and religious leaders, private sector agents, local CSO’s and youth advocates to reduce child marriages and child trafficking and improve women’s access to good technical and vocational training and increase opportunities for them to find decent work. Violence against girls and young women and the denial of their economic rights stand in the way of achieving meaningful gender equality. Serious violations of these human rights are affecting millions of girls and young women. Societies pay a high price for not tackling these issues. Gender inequality has been a persistent area of concern in India. According to UN gender statistics in 2012, despite high rates of economic growth, the participation of women in India’s workforce and their lack of control over their livelihood remain very low (27 per cent). A 2014 UNDP report that surveyed 186 countries ranked India 127 on the gender-inequality index. Many forms of gender-based violence (GBV) are widespread in India. These include child marriage, trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, the dowry system, the abortion female babies, domestic violence and sexual violence. All these lead to women having a low status and to their social and economic exclusion. Physical and economic aspects of gender-equality are intertwined. A lack of economic opportunities makes it very difficult for girls and young women to refuse child marriage and it makes them more vulnerable to child trafficking and commercial and sexual exploitation. Equality in laws and policies does not necessarily mean that girls and young women enjoy the same development outcomes and benefits as boys and men. The Theory of Change for the Girls Advocacy Programme in India follows four interrelated paths. Three of these lead to legislation, understanding, adherence to and the monitoring of public and private policies and practices regarding violence against girls and young women and their economic empowerment. Each of these paths focuses on a specific type of actor: (1) government officials at national, state, province, district and community level, and representatives of customary systems; (2) private sector actors; and (3) girls’ and women’s organisations and other Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and CSO networks with enhanced organisational and advocacy capacity. The fourth path leads to the abandonment of social norms and practices that discriminate against gender. It also leads to a change in deeply rooted and widely upheld beliefs that negatively affect policy makers, local government officials, local courts and/or service providers’ willingness to adopt and implement gender-equality policies. The main actors are community, traditional and religious leaders and other key opinion leaders. Each of the paths will entail three levels of change: agenda setting, policy setting and, ultimately, changing practices. The Girls Advocacy Programme builds on the outcomes realised, lessons learned and relationships built up by the three alliance organisations during various programmes. An example in India is the Missing Child Alert programme. This is being carried out by Plan, together with its partners in Bangladesh and Nepal, and its goal is to reduce the cross-border trafficking of children. Thanks to its various programmes all over India, specifically in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the States selected for the Girls Advocacy Programme, Plan India has extensive expertise in the area of child trafficking, child marriage, and the economic empowerment of women. The end beneficiaries of the Girls Advocacy Programme carried out by Plan India will be girls and young women (up to the age of 24) in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The programme focuses on four strategic goals. 1. Public support for the eradication of GBV and for the economic inclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 2. The influence of CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations) on governmental and corporate/private-sector actors to eradicate GBV and support the economic inclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 3. The policies and practices of corporate/private-sector actors that support the eradication of GBV and support the economic inclusion of women, will be improved. 4. Legislation and public policies, as well as improved practices of governmental actors, that support the prevention of GBV and support the economic inclusion of women, will be effectively implemented. The programme embraces two main strategies. The first of these involves strengthening CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations). This will make them better able to influence government and private-sector actors to eradicate GBV and support the economic inclusion of girls and young women. The second of these strategies entails influencing policies to increase public support and improve the policies and practices of private-sector actors, as well as the effective implementation of legislation and public policies. It also includes improving the activities of governmental actors that support the prevention and eradication of GBV and that support the economic inclusion of girls and young women. Specific methods used to influence policies are lobbying, advocacy (including media campaigns and ICT), research and linking and networking. The changes that will be introduced by the Girls Advocacy Programme in India will be sustainable. Moreover, the main strategies of the programme, which are capacity development and lobbying and advocacy, will underscore sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be ensured by the focus on strengthening the capacity of all local partner organisations. This will be based on carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and then annual assessments of the progress on custom-developed capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the programme’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change it will initiate, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the completion of the programme. These aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening trajectories that will be developed and rolled out with all local partner organisations. Inclusivity is an important principle of the programme and this will also be embedded in the capacity-development activities. Learning and reflection are important aspects of the programme. In 2016 a learning agenda will be worked out and this will focus on the continuous assessment of the assumptions underlying the programme’s design and Theories of Change. These will be reviewed critically every year at country, regional and alliance levels, resulting in strategic adjustments where necessary to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the interventions. Learning will also be an outcome of the programme’s evaluation agenda. A baseline will be conducted in the first half of 2016 and a mid-term review and final evaluation are scheduled for 2018 and 2020 respectively. The lobbying and advocacy part of the programme and its thematic orientation on GBV and economic empowerment will provide plenty of opportunities for visibility in India. This will mainly be through newspaper articles, radio and television interviews and programmes, presentations during conferences and media and public campaigns. Visibility in the Netherlands will focus on providing input for evidence-based lobbying of the Dutch government (“dialogue and dissent”) and of corporate companies and multinationals. There will also be opportunities for visibility through newspaper and magazine (Vice Versa) articles, radio interviews, and presentations during forums and conferences.

None scheduled for this quarter NL-KVK-41198890-IDN100243 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The Down to Zero (DtZ) project in Indonesia is part of a broader initiative by an alliance comprising of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children – ECPAT Netherlands, Terre des Hommes Netherlands, ICCO and Free a Girl. It is combatting the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) through preventative and protective measures that focus on actual child victims and children who are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation. The project will empower young girls and boys, create safer communities, assist in law enforcement and policy implementation and work together with the private sector, such as the tourist industry. In Indonesia, the project is being implemented by Plan International Indonesia, Terre des Hommes and ECPAT. It will run between January 2016 and December 2020 in Jakarta, Lombok and Surabaya, working with children, families, communities, the government and private-sector actors to prevent CSEC. CSEC is a fundamental violation of children’s rights. It includes child prostitution, child pornography and child trafficking for sexual purposes. Many children lack the knowledge and capacity and/or the ability to speak out against or resist these forms of exploitation. Any objections they might have are ignored or not taken seriously by policy makers or the police, and often not even by their own parents. The communities in which these children live are not always safe for them. Their families are often unaware of the risks their children face, and in some cases they even encourage their children to enter child prostitution. Norms and values that tolerate violence against women are widespread and these are conspiring to make the victims feel ashamed. Furthermore, laws and policies are often not implemented or enforced, and this leads to large-scale impunity (the people who are guilty of this exploitation are going unpunished). In addition to all this, the private sector is not always aware of the effects it can have on CSEC and it could be underestimating its responsibility. The DtZ programme will address the consequences and root causes of CSEC, such as poverty, lack of education, gender imbalances and cultural norms and values that encourage such sexual exploitation. It will do so in four interconnected ways. Firstly, it will empower children. By means of child-led (online) campaigns and life-skills and vocational trainings, children will be encouraged to speak up and protect themselves if they feel in danger of being exploited. It will also offer them possible alternative sources of income. Secondly, by making them agents of change they will be strongly involved in mobilising parents, community and religious leaders, nurses and teachers to become allies in the struggle against CSEC. The active engagement of men and boys, including fathers, brothers and peers, as well as potential offenders, will be crucial in changing norms and values in communities. Furthermore, a well-functioning referral system connected to formal child-protection bodies will make communities safer for children. Thirdly, laws and policies to combat impunity must be implemented and enforced. By showing governments the scale of the problem through research data and by supporting the development of practical local action plans, government officials will be more willing to address the problem, and with sufficient budget. Lastly, the private sector will be encouraged to commit to zero-tolerance towards the sexual exploitation of children. The successful Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism will be further promoted and it will serve as an example for other industries. The DtZ project in Indonesia builds on the results obtained and the lessons learned from previous interventions carried out by Plan, Terre des Hommes and DCI-ECPAT. In Plan’s case the project will build on the success Plan has achieved with its community-based child-protection mechanism (CBCPM) approach. Plan defines CBCPM as “a network or group of individuals at community level who work in a coordinated manner towards the protection of children from all forms of violence, in all settings. These mechanisms can be local or externally initiated and supported and either formal or informal in the way they are structured and work. CBCPMs are linked together and contribute to other child-protection systems.” CBCPMs are designed to protect children from all forms of violence, abuse and exploitation, especially when it comes to CSEC. Mechanisms for community-based actions against CSEC prevent, monitor and refer all cases. They are also linked to existing child-protection systems at higher levels that are being managed by the responsible governmental actors. Plan has been very successful in achieving official and effective linkages between CBCPMs and government-led child-protection systems. The end beneficiaries include the actual victims and children at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial purposes in xxx districts of Jakarta, Lombok and Surabaya. The main focus will be on the most vulnerable children under the age of 18, while some elements will also include young people up to the age of 25. A specifically targeted group will be the exploited children, particularly girls, of ethnic communities. Regional and country-specific plans will be developed and the relevant activities, based on the overall intervention strategies, will be designed during the inception phase (between January and June 2016). Sustainability will be further addressed during the design of the project in Indonesia. The changes that will be introduced by the DtZ project in Indonesia will be sustainable. It will include various strategies, such as capacity development and policy influencing, both of which will increase sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be supported by the fact that the project focuses on strengthening the capacity of all local partner organisations. This will include carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and annual assessments of the progress being made in customised capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the project’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change that it will start up, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the programme has finished. All these aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening phases that will be developed and rolled out with all the local partner organisations. During the course of 2016, a learning agenda will be worked out and this will focus on the continuous assessment of the assumptions on which the project’s design and Theories of Change (ToC) have been based. The ToC will be critically reviewed every year at country, regional and alliance levels so that strategic adjustments can be made to ensure the maximum impact of the interventions. Learning will also be an outcome of the programme’s evaluation agenda. A baseline will be conducted in the first half of 2016 and a mid-term review and final evaluation are scheduled for 2018 and 2020 respectively. The lobbying and advocacy part of the project and its thematic orientation on CSEC will provide plenty of opportunities for visibility in Indonesia. This will probably be through newspaper articles, radio and television interviews and programmes, presentations during conferences, and media and public campaigns. In the Netherlands the project will provide input for evidence-based lobbying of the Dutch government. It will also link with the Dutch tourism industry and a campaign called ‘Don’t Look Away’. There will also be opportunities for visibility through newspaper and magazine (Vice Versa) articles, radio interviews, presentations during forums and conferences.

In rural areas only a part of the population has access to improved sanitation facilities. When it comes to Menstrual Health Management (MHM), there is still school dropout for lack of knowledge and facilities. This project aims to improve sanitation and hygiene conditions, as well as strengthen MHM and integrate it into the STBM policy (local Community Led Total Sanitation approaches). Plan Indonesia implements the project, which benefits 240,000 people in 120 villages and reaches out to 10 schools in 10 villages. It is implemented in two districts in East- (NTT) and two districts in West Nusa Tenggarra (NTB). It starts in February 2016 and runs until June 2019. Approaches include establishing STBM teams, conducting capacity building for local government, CLTS triggering, awareness raising on MHM, production of knowledge material. A particular focus is on gender equality and disability inclusion. Indonesia has the second highest people defecating in the open in the world. This issue is particularly acute in the rural areas, where only 46% of the population has access to improved sanitation facilities. In ten districts in Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) province only 64.83% of the population has basic sanitation facilities such as latrines, garbage bins and waste disposal management systems. Progress has been particularly slow on the part of Indonesia’s sub-national (mainly district) governments who hold the responsibility for front-line sanitation service delivery to communities. Greater progress is inhibited for a range of reasons including: a) Decentralization of the government system leading the district level to be disconnected from STBM, b) Geographical isolation which has seen uneven access to sector resources, support and information, c) Limited sector knowledge and experience locally, d) Limited coordination in regards to sanitation and hygiene issues across government agencies, e) Inactive government STBM teams at district, sub-district and village levels, and f) Lack of investment in STBM at district level. While Indonesia has ratified major international gender agreements, promoting gender equality remains difficult. Women are assessed to have little influence over WASH sector management and are largely excluded from decision making in the public service. When it comes to Menstrual Health Management (MHM), there is school dropout amongst girls because of lack of knowledge and facilities. Mothers may keep girls at home during their period and girls may need to go home for lack of facilities to change sanitary pad when it is needed. MHM is not integrated to the STBM policy. The CLTS approach is used. This is an integrated approach to achieving and sustaining open defecation free (ODF) status. CLTS entails the facilitation of the community’s analysis of their sanitation profile, their practices of defecation and the consequences, leading to collective action to become ODF. International evidence has shown that family members are often included in contributing to the discrimination and stigmatization of People With Disability (PWD). Hence there is a need to specifically support families so that they feel that they can admit to having a family member with a disability and needing different WASH facilities in their home. Specifically this is a change in perception that PWD can and should participate in decision making about WASH improvements in households. The project has a strong gender-responsive approach. It includes a strong focus on participation and decision making of women alongside men, and monitoring of quality (not just quantity) of participation during CLTS triggering. The project contributes to gender equality by ensuring women have a greater influence in planning and implementing sanitation and hygiene services in communities and at the household level. Central to delivering these outcomes is raising awareness amongst change agents. As for the MHM component the main agenda is to integrate it into the existing STBM policy in order to address MHM-related issues at the grass root level and to comply with global agenda on WASH sector. The approach is through scaling up an earlier pilot, leading to a policy change at the national level. There is a strong enabling environment at the national level for WASH, which includes STBM (Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat) which is the Indonesian adaptation of the Community-Led Total Sanitation concept . It is a five pillar approach with a community achieving ‘total sanitation’ when there is: i) Open Defecation Free (ODF) status through CLTS, ii) Hand washing with soap, iii) Safe household water treatment and food storage, iv) Solid waste management and v) Liquid waste management. This project is part of a larger 3,5 year programme called Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for Eastern Indonesia (SEHATI). A consortium of Simavi and five Indonesian NGOs, supported by IRC, are responsible for implementing the programme. Simavi as the contract partner. The program’s goal is dstrict-wide access to improved and sustainable sanitation and hygiene facilities and practices, which contributes towards the Indonesian Government's target of providing universal access to water and sanitation for all population by 2019. The project builds on and draws lessons from an earlier large program, called SHAW (Sanitation Hygiene and Water). This program was amongst others very much centred on ensuring that STBM principles are applied. This project builds on the logic of the SHAW set up as well, and several partnerships that are the same for SEHATI and SHAW. The project builds upon lessons learned from Plan Indonesia’s rural STBM programs in Central Java and NTT provinces. The project component on MHM builds on a pilot done earlier in 7 schools. 240,000 people in 120 villages in the Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) province of Eastern Indonesia will benefit from the project. The children are also end beneficiaries, especially girls, in 10 schools in 10 villages in the Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) province. As for the STBM component, plan divides 42 months of project implementation into four phases as follows: 1. District Selection and Engagement Phase (6 months) 1.1 Project introduction by Provincial Pokja AMPL (working group on water and sanitation) and letter of interest submission by district government. Districts are requested to a submit letter of interest stating their commitment to support project implementation and to fund STBM replication using their own resources. Based on the letter of interest we will decide which district that will be targeted for project implementation. 1.2 District selection. 1.3 STBM road show at provincial level and MoU signing with provincial and selected districts. 1.4 STBM road show at district level. 1.5 Selection of sub-districts and villages for piloting locations. 1.6 STBM Baseline survey on gender and disability including ways to identify PWD (given they are largely underestimated and often hidden). Baseline study will determine the current gender relations at the household and community levels (particularly decision making and leadership in STBM). 1.7 Project staff recruitment and office establishment. 2. Capacity Building Phase (6 months) 2.1. Establishment and/or strengthening of district Pokja AMPL. 2.2. Establishment of sub-district STBM teams and selection of village volunteers. 2.3. Learning visit for district WASH working group to districts that have succeed with STBM 2.4. Development of District STBM roadmap and sub-district STBM work plan. 2.5. Several capacity building and trainings to Pokja AMPL and sub-district STBM teams, which includes: STBM triggering and hygiene promotion training, STBM monitoring and verification training, gender equality and disability inclusion training, sanitation marketing training, budgeting advocacy workshop. Trainings are aimed to enable district, sub-district and village government to implement 5 pillars STBM triggering, hygiene promotion, monitoring and verification process. (F) The project very much integrates financial sustainability already within the project period, by ensuring that the prime responsible for water and sanitation, namely the government, is actually in the lead to fund and implement the replication of STBM to the non-piloting villages. Also support in budget making is given. Furthermore, demand creation by marketing affordable sanitation products. An entrepreneurial sanitation association is established as well to focus on the supply side of affordable facilities. (I) Capacity is built at several levels: district, sub-district and village governments, entrepreneurs associations, sub-district STBM groups. As for the MHM component, the MOH is closely involved and capacity is built to include MHM in existing policies. (E) The 5 pillar STBM includes environmental hygiene aspects: no open defecation, management of household solid- and liquid waste. (T) The project focuses on affordable and technically less complex hygiene and sanitation facilities. These can be locally maintained. (S) The project places a great emphasis on the inclusion of PWD and women in decision making and implementation. To ensure their inclusion a baseline study is conducted. As for the MHM component, there is special attention for girls and their emancipation when obstacles for their school attendance are tackled. Series of capacity building activities that have been introduced such as learning visits, facilitator training, and training for village chiefs on how to prepare an STBM budget have been deemed helpful for district, sub-district and village level governments. This has enabled them to have a holistic understanding of STBM activities, which is better than just constructing public toilet facilities as usually done thus far. Information collected from the baseline survey has become a good starting point and has triggered stakeholders in North Lombok District to pay attention to the importance of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) for girls in the early days of menstruation.

With this project, by changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, adolescents will be empowered to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project will give adolescents alternatives beyond EM and teenage pregnancies. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Nederland, together with partners Rutgers, Choice, KIT and the Netherlands’ Embassy in Jakarta (Indonesia). Next to Indonesia, similar projects under the same framework will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi and Pakistan. Deep-rooted norms and expectations of girls and boys makes families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off. Gender inequality is putting girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships. For example, girls cannot refuse to have unprotected sex and this is resulting in a high level of teenage pregnancies. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves and claim their rights are limited and they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRHR information and services. There are close links between EM and teenage pregnancies and girls’ lack of education. Indeed, girls’ access to education is very restricted, which makes it difficult for them to find jobs later. It also hampers their economic independence. Legislation to outlaw EM is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. EM and teenage pregnancies mutually reinforce one another. Social and gender norms perpetuating EM are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people, including boys and men, support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of EM and teenage pregnancies. A general lack of information about SRHR and poor quality and access to the relevant services are perpetuating the above-mentioned problems. Further, the social and gender norms denies especially to girls adequate access to quality secondary education and vocational training. Adolescent boys and girls are being informed about SRHR and given a voice to claim these rights. Girls are being given more control over their lives. This is being achieved by changing these norms and people’s behaviour, strengthening networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedding these in communities, and by involving the government and the private sector in improving SRHR and services. Improved access especially for girls to secondary education and vocational training will enhance their career opportunities and economic independence. All these will help to reduce EM and teenage pregnancies. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried Activities include: development/adaptation information package on the specific Yes I Do objectives; organizing awareness sessions on social and gender norms, child rights and SRHR in the communities; strengthening of CSOs including Child Protection Committees on their institutional capacities and knowledge of child protection and SHRH laws and policies. Sustainability will be achieved a.o. through strengthening of local CSOs including youth led in their institutional and knowledge capacities, involvement of and cooperation with key stakeholders including local government representatives, community and religious leaders and private partners. Key research gaps will be identified with the key stakeholders and direct beneficiaries and will be addressed to improve evidence based lobby and advocacy towards preventing CM and TP. Further strategies to enhance sustainability will be developed in the course of the project implementation.

Previously, several villages in Sukabumi district were targeted as PATBM (government programme of CBCPM) intervention villages by the district government. Due to miscommunication between parties, there were new bodies that planned to be developed in the village which has the same function as KPAD.

In February 2020, three major advocacy events were held (one in each working district() where government and other stakeholders committed to take forward the results and learnings as achieved by YIDA. Follow-up meetings on this were held with the district stakeholders later in the year. Also further L&A was done with Education department and child-friendly intervention schools in two districts (Sukabumi and West Lombok) which initiated a child friendly school forum. The forum will hold regular offline meetings and online coordination in regards to child-friendly school implementation and development. Education department and business class in-school facilitators in West Lombok initiated a business class facilitator forum. The forum will hold regular offline meetings and online coordination in regards to business class implementation and development in schools. Also, several seminar and workshops have been held in 3 intervention districts. Plan Indonesia developed a guideline on Child Friendly School implementation which was socialized n the three working districts . Currently, there are eight non-intervention schools (five in West Lombok, three in Sukabumi) that have initiated the implementation of CFS model and approach. In West Lombok, the educational district department decided to replicate the CFS model to other 51 schools for 2021. village laws and regulations newly signed/adapted as a result of community-based organisations (KPADs, child forum, groups of religious and traditional leaders) working together with policy makers at local (village) and subdistrict level target for 2020 15 advocacy meetings held with various policy makers including with Ministry of Education at district level on Child Friendly Schools and with local stakeholders on child protection; in each working district one advocacy meeting was held with local leaders and district stakeholders to ensure sustainability of the program results These schools have become child friendly schools already before 2020 and will be continuing to improve on this. Apart from the 23 schools that continuously implement activities on Safe Schools, Child-friendly school development within the three district is continuously followed up with the related stakeholders, mainly the education department of district government. Support from the district government plays an important role to ensure the sustainability of current CFS initiatives and enforce the scaling up of it. As part of sustainability, the process of developing CFS in the three districts was documented into a practical module that is guiding the district government and other schools to scale up the initiative. Currently, all intervened junior high schools have completed the minimum indicator of CFS agreed together with the district government. In realizing this, several seminar and workshops have been held in the 3 intervention districts. The guideline of CFS implementation in the 3 districts have been developed and socialized. Currently, there are eight other schools (five in West Lombok, three in Sukabumi) that have initiated the implementation of CFS model and approach.

NL-KVK-41198890-PAK100297 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Millions of adolescent girls all over the world are facing a limited future because of early marriage (EM), teenage pregnancies (TP) and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). With the Yes I Do program, by changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, adolescents will be empowered to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project will give adolescents alternatives beyond EM and teenage pregnancies. In Pakistan, the project was implemented by Plan Pakistan and Rutgers Pakistan with KIT as research partner. The project was implemented between January 2016 and December 2018 in selected areas in Umerkot and Sanghar districts in Sindh province. The project ended end 2018 because the offices of Plan and Rutgers in Pakistan had to close down by the Pakistan government and all activities to be ended. Deep-rooted norms and expectations of girls and boys makes families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off. Gender inequality is putting (married) girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves are limited and they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRH information and services. There are close links between EM and teenage pregnancies and girls’ lack of education and access to economic opportunities. Indeed, girls’ access to secondary and vocational education is very restricted, which makes it difficult for them to find jobs later. It also hampers their economic independence. Legislation to outlaw EM is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. Eearly Marriage and teenage pregnancies mutually reinforce one another. Social and gender norms perpetuating EM are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people, including boys and men, support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of EM and teenage pregnancies. A general lack of information about SRHR and poor quality and access to the relevant services are perpetuating the above-mentioned problems. Further, the social and gender norms denies especially to girls adequate access to quality secondary education and vocational training. Adolescent boys and girls are being informed about SRHR and given a voice to claim these rights. Girls are being given more control over their lives. This is being achieved by changing these norms and people’s behaviour, strengthening networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedding these in communities, and by involving the government and the private sector in improving SRHR and services. Improved access especially for girls to secondary education and vocational training will enhance their career opportunities and economic independence. All these will help to reduce EM and teenage pregnancies. The programme is being implemented by the Yes I Do alliance in which each partner is adding value by implementing part of one or more of the intervention strategies. Paksitan was selected based upon on-going programmes of the alliance partners Plan and Rutgers onEM and teenage pregnancies. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried Activities include: development/adaptation information package on the specific Yes I Do objectives; organizing awareness sessions on social and gender norms, child rights and SRHR in the communities; strengthening of CSOs including Child Protection Committees on their institutional capacities and knowledge of child protection and SHRH laws and policie Sustainability will be achieved a.o. through strengthening of local CSOs including youth led in their institutional and knowledge capacities, involvement of and cooperation with key stakeholders including local government representatives, community and religious leaders and private partners. Key research gaps will be identified with the key stakeholders and direct beneficiaries and will be addressed to improve evidence based lobby and advocacy towards preventing CM and TP. Further strategies to enhance sustainability will be developed in the course of the project implementation.

Micro Finance Institutions capacitated to be accessible for youth and provide youth friendly loans NL-KVK-41198890-PHL100494 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The Girls Advocacy Programme in the Philippines is part of a broader initiative by an alliance comprising of Plan International Netherlands, Defence for Children – ECPAT Netherlands and Terre des Hommes Netherlands. It promotes equal rights and opportunities for girls and young women, reducing poverty and stimulating inclusive economic growth. Particular emphasis is being placed on improving policies and practices for the eradication of violence against girls and women and ending their economic exclusion. In the Philippines, the Programme is being implemented by Plan Philippines and Terre des Hommes. The Girls Advocacy Programme runs from January 2016 to December 2020, and is carried out in 4 regions. Through lobby and advocacy, the programme works with government, traditional leaders, private sector agents, local CSO’s and youth advocates to reduce child trafficking, the commercial sexual exploitation of children and the economic exclusion of young women. Violence against girls and young women and the denial of their economic rights stand in the way of achieving meaningful gender equality. Serious violations of these human rights are affecting millions of girls and young women. Societies pay a high price for not tackling these issues. Due to culturally accepted gender biases, girls are discriminated against from an early age. They take over the stereotyped role of their mothers, who are often abused and submissive women relegated to domestic work. Moreover, men there see girls and women as sex objects, typically regarding them as club/bar entertainers, beauty-pageant contestants or the stars of pornographic films. The low esteem with which women and girls are held by the Philippines’ society is made even worse by other problems. These include extreme poverty, a low percentage of girls completing their education, few jobs in rural areas, massive labour migration, aggressive tourism campaigns, and the negative ways that girls and women are shown in the media. All these factors make girls and women easy victims of gender-based violence (GBV) and economic exclusion. Physical and economic aspects of gender-equality are intertwined. A lack of economic opportunities makes it very difficult for girls and young women to refuse child marriage and makes them more vulnerable to child trafficking and commercial and sexual exploitation. Equality in laws and policies does not necessarily mean that girls and young women enjoy the same development outcomes and benefits as boys and men. The Theory of Change for the Girls Advocacy Programme in the Philippines follows four interrelated paths. Three of these lead to legislation, understanding, adherence to and the monitoring of public and private policies and practices regarding violence against girls and young women and their economic empowerment. Each focuses on a specific type of actor: (1) government officials at national, state, province, district and community level, and representatives of customary systems; (2) private sector actors; and (3) girls’ and women’s organisations and other civil society organisations (CSOs) and CSO networks with enhanced organisational and advocacy capacity. The fourth path leads to the abandonment of social norms and practices that discriminate against gender. It also leads to the changing of deeply rooted and widely upheld beliefs that negatively affect policy makers, local government officials, local courts and/or service providers’ willingness to adopt and implement gender-equality policies. The main actors are community, traditional and religious leaders and other key opinion leaders. Each of the paths will entail three levels of change: agenda setting, policy setting and, ultimately, changes in practices. The Girls Advocacy Programme builds on the outcomes realised, lessons learned and relationships built up by the three alliance organisations during various programmes. For Plan, in particular, there are important experiences that can be taken into account and exploited from its counter-trafficking programming. The end beneficiaries of the Girls Advocacy Programme of Plan Philippines will be girls and young women (up to the age of 24) in xx districts. The programme focuses on four strategic goals. 1. Public support for the eradication of GBV and for the economic inclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 2. The influence of CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations) on governmental and corporate/private-sector actors to eradicate GBV and support the economic inclusion of girls and young women, will be increased. 3. The policies and practices of corporate/private-sector actors that support the eradication of GBV and support the economic inclusion of women, will be improved. 4. Legislation and public policies, as well as improved practices of governmental actors, that support the prevention of GBV and support the economic inclusion of women, will be effectively implemented. The programme embraces two main strategies. The first of these involves strengthening CSOs and networks (particularly girls’ and young women’s organisations). This will make them better able to influence government and private-sector actors to eradicate GBV and support the economic inclusion of girls and young women. The second of these strategies entails policy influencing for increased public support, improved policies and practices of private-sector actors, as well as for the effective implementation of legislation and public policies. It also includes improving the activities of governmental actors that support the prevention and eradication of GBV and support the economic inclusion of girls and young women. Specific methods used to influence policies are lobbying, advocacy (including media campaigns and ICT), research and linking & networking. The changes that will be introduced by the Girls Advocacy Programme in the Philippines will be sustainable. Moreover, the main strategies of the programme, which are capacity development and policy influencing, will both underscore sustainability. Institutional sustainability will be ensured by the programme’s focus on strengthening the capacity of all local partner organisations. This will be based on carrying out assessments of individual organisational capacity and then annual assessments of the progress on custom-developed capacity-strengthening plans. The financial sustainability of the programme’s outcomes and, more notably, the processes of change it will initiate, will depend on the financial and organisational sustainability of local partner organisations after the completion of the programme. These aspects will receive plenty of attention during the capacity-strengthening trajectories that will be developed and rolled out with all local partner organisations. Inclusivity is an important principle of the programme and this will also be embedded in the capacity-development activities. Learning and reflection are important aspects of the programme. In 2016, a learning agenda will be worked out and this will focus on the continuous assessment of the assumptions underlying the programme’s design and Theories of Change. These will be reviewed critically every year at country, regional and alliance levels, resulting in strategic adjustments where necessary to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the interventions. Learning will also be an outcome of the programme’s evaluation agenda. A baseline will be conducted in the first half of 2016 and a mid-term review and final evaluation are scheduled for 2018 and 2020 respectively. The lobbying and advocacy part of the programme and its thematic orientation on GBV and economic empowerment will provide plenty of opportunities for visibility in the Philippines. This will mainly be through newspaper articles, radio and television interviews and programmes, presentations during conferences and media and public campaigns. Visibility in the Netherlands will be focused on providing input for evidence-based lobbying of the Dutch government (“dialogue and dissent”) and corporate companies and multinationals. There will also be opportunities for visibility through newspaper and magazine (Vice Versa) articles, radio interviews and presentations during forums and conferences.

In 3 years, disadvantaged youth completed life skills, market-driven vocational/technical and business trainings. 60% of them entered decent employment - either in a job or by establishing/strengthening their own enterprise. This ensured future economic security for themselves and their families. The programme is supported by Plan’s Regional Office of the Americas (ROA) through technical assistance, evidence gathering support and (academic) research coordination. With youth in Latin America accounting for nearly one third of the population, they should be a major driver of regional economic growth. However, decent job opportunities remain inaccessible for large number of young underprivileged people, maintaining the cycle of poverty. The most important obstacles for inserting these youth into the labour market are their lack of professional qualifications and the requirement of prior experience. Young women face additional hurdles such as persistent gender stereotypes, discriminatory practices and adolescent pregnancy. Social instability in the target areas are characterized by armed conflict, social and gender-based violence, displacement, over-population, lack of formal jobs and weak local economies. This context limits business and entrepreneurial opportunities, fuelling many youth to engage in illicit activities. By given life-skills training and market-driven (based on a market scan) technical training to young people, they acquire the necessary skills to enter the job market as employees or entrepreneurs. By engaging companies for the development of training content and understanding their needs and expectations regarding future employees, the project facilitates the transit of vulnerable young people to decent jobs. Once these young people have the right skills and are either working or running their own business, they will be able to earn a decent income for themselves and their families. Due to deficiencies in education quality, and youth’s limited access to business networks, financial services and productive assets, a wide gap remains between the market demand and the provision of well-trained workers. Existing governmental training institutes cannot bridge the skills gap by technical trainings alone; soft skills trainings and post-graduate job insertion has proven to be essential for successful employment of youth. The final beneficiaries were 4.746 vulnerable young people (aged between 17 and 30) where 60% are young women in Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador. Most beneficiaries lived in situation of social vulnerability, had little or no job experience and minimum opportunities to access to vocational education. Participants of the project were equipped with technical/vocational or entrepreneurship trainings and 3.179 entered in the labour market or started their own businesses. Plan’s regional office developed a regional monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework with common indicators; established and maintained a network of Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) practitioners; conducted an action research to gather evidence about the critical factors to implement sustainable YEE programs and developed an online YEE toolkit with best practices and tools to improve YEE programing in Latin America. The project achieved sustainability by focusing in vulnerable youth in the target areas in Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador, improving the personal attitude and self-esteem of youth and equipping them with technical and life skills to contribute to their economic security and therefore also financial sustainability for their families. By establishing strong networks with training providers, governmental organisations in charge of youth employment, private sectors entities and individual companies, the project secured the long-term institutional engagement of key stakeholders to implement youth economic empowerment programs beyond the project. As part of the project, the Latin American network of experts working on Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) has been established to facilitate exchange of knowhow and best practices between practitioners and improve the implementation of YEE programs in the region.

Once these young people have the right skills and are either working or running their own business, they will be able to earn a decent income for themselves and their families. Due to deficiencies in education quality, and youth’s limited access to business networks, financial services and productive assets, a wide gap remains between the market’s demand and the provision of well-trained workers. Existing governmental training institutes cannot bridge the skills gap by technical trainings alone; soft skills trainings and post-graduate job insertion has proven to be essential for successful employment of youth. Plan’s project aimed to fill in this gap by engaging the private sector in the development of curricula and train the targeted youth with the skills and knowledge demanded by the labour market. The project provided not only technical/vocational and entrepreneurship trainings, but also coaching, life skills trainings and work readiness support. Also the project ensured that the targeted youth are placed in jobs or helped to start a business. The final beneficiaries are 156 vulnerable young people (aged between 17 and 30) where 46% are young women in the Cabañas department in El Salvador. The targeted youth have little or no job experience and currently out of a formal job, in situations of social vulnerability, and with minimum educational attainment to access technical training. Young people were equipped with technical/vocational skills and entered in the labour market or started their own businesses. The project provided entrepreneurship and business management trainings, technical assistance, mentoring and life skills trainings. The project ensured also that the targeted youth started their own businesses with contribution of seed capital. Smart business alliances were established to promote business opportunities for vulnerable youth and create awareness about gender equality. Also alumni network were established to stay in touch and follow-up the young people after completion of the training program. Furthermore a business case was developed with one private partner to show how the project has benefited both the young people and the private partner measured with economic and social indicators. The project is achieving sustainability by focusing in vulnerable youth in the target areas, improving their personal attitude and self-esteem and equipping them with technical and life skills to contribute to their economic security and therefore also financial sustainability for their families. By establishing strong networks with TVETs, governmental organisations in charge of youth empowerment and placement, private sectors entities and individual companies, the project is securing the long-term institutional engagement of key stakeholders to implement youth economic empowerment programs beyond the project Plan International El Salvador Plan International Netherlands unspecified Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Basic life skills for youth and adults Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) development Gender Equality LEARN - Skills opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship (SOYEE) Youth Economic Empowerment & Education 156482 156482 Plan International El Salvador 102949 Plan International El Salvador 40000 Plan International El Salvador 15504 Plan International El Salvador More young men equipped than originally expected as result of successful partnerships with cooperatives Lack of technical support after businesses were started; difficult access to enter the local market and seasonal character of some entreprises (i.e. fresh fruit) Lack of technical support after businesses were started; difficult access to enter the local market and seasonal character of some entreprises (i.e. fresh fruit) More young people equipped than originally expected as result of the succesfull partnerships with cooperatives and governmental national institutions.

NL-KVK-41198890-NLD0683 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY According to the UN Guiding Principles internationally operating companies need to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how they address adverse human rights impacts. Over the past few years, many Dutch companies have shown increased willingness to include human rights issues into their business operations. However, many companies do not yet fully address the risks of gender-based violence and gender discrimination affecting young women working at production locations. From the start in 2016, The Girls Advocacy Alliance, consisting of Plan International Netherlands, Terre des Hommes and DCI-ECPAT, is influencing Dutch companies, particularly in the sectors of garment, food, metal and tourism, to address these issues in an integral and effective manner. The alliance members use evidence to demonstrate the potential gains for companies of investing in girls and young women and support companies in conducting adequate risk analysis related to gender equality. Many companies find it easier to incorporate ecological aspects into their business models than social aspects, such as women’s and children’s rights. The frontrunners have made progress but overall the responses of companies towards gender based violence and discrimination in their supply chains is still too scattered, incomprehensive and are implemented in isolation, without involving girls and young women. Furthermore, at the tail end of the peloton, there is still a large group of small and medium enterprises which has not shown yet a strong commitment to implement gender sensitive responsible business conduct (RBC). Initiatives of self-regulation taken by business sectors can help to promote more responsible business conduct. However, voluntarily agreements will not always be sufficient. Legislation and effective monitoring of compliance are indispensable when companies do not deliver on their promises. Given the complexity of global supply chains, the introduction of national legislation is not enough. In order to create a level playing field, RBC standards and frameworks need to be endorsed globally. The Girls Advocacy Alliance programme in the Netherlands is implemented by Plan Netherlands, Terre des Hommes, DCI-ECPAT and Global March against Child Labour. The joint advocacy actions of the alliance members target both the Dutch government as well as private sector actors in the Netherlands. The lobby and advocacy of Plan Netherlands focuses on the latter. The expected outcomes of Plan Netherlands’ interventions are twofold: 1. Dutch (multinational) companies acknowledge and respond to their supply chain responsibility in combatting gender based violence at the workplace and economic exclusion, in particular in GAA countries 2. Gender based violence and economic exclusion of girls and young women are integrated in the supply chains of at least 100 Dutch international companies in the relevant GAA countries Plan Netherlands’ lobby will focus on individual Dutch companies and multi-stakeholder platforms (such as the Tourism IMVO network). By using the evidence of existing business cases on gender equality and women’s economic empowerment, companies are exhorted to include gender equality into their codes of conduct and due diligence processes. In addition, the GAA members will also provide support to companies in the actual implementation of gender sensitive due diligence. Based on their knowledge of the local context and the relations with local stakeholders, the GAA members are able to facilitate the interaction between Dutch companies, their local supply chain partners and local organisations of girls and young women. In the Dutch and international policy context the issue of responsible business conduct (RBC) has become much more visible. The shared SDG agenda, the development of sector covenants by the Dutch government, companies and NGOs and the introduction of regulatory interventions (EU, OECD) are clear signs of the growing political and public expectations regarding the responsibility of companies to fully implement RBC standards and principles. With support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, new tools are being introduced which guide companies on how to include gender equality issues into their due diligence processes. For example, the recently developed guidance by BSR on the inclusion of gender equality in business codes of conduct provides companies with a clear and common set of requirements that can be integrated into existing codes of conduct. The final beneficiaries of the Dutch Girls Advocacy Alliance programme are girls and young women living in countries in which targeted Dutch companies (operating in the garment, agriculture and tourist sectors) operate. The programme will focus on those companies with supply chains in Bangladesh, India and Kenya. During 2016 and 2017, the following actions will be implemented by Plan Netherlands: 1. Develop a baseline study on current corporate policies and supply chain practices in relation to gender based violence and discrimination of Dutch companies 2. Provide policy recommendations about the inclusion of gender equality issues in corporate policies and practices to key stakeholders (members of the textile covenant, the Tourism IMVO platform) 3. Build and expand the relationships with companies (inside and outside Plan’s business network) to promote the use of gender sensitive due diligence 4. Support the engagements of local organisations of girls and young women with Dutch companies in GAA countries (particularly Bangladesh, India and Kenya) 5.

In the frame of the National Action Plan of the Dutch government to support the implementation of the UN resolution 1325, the consortium made of Plan, PAX, STAD and Healthnet implements the Women Girls for Change programmes. This project has been implemented by Plan in Eastern Equatoria State, in Pageri County (Nimule) since November 2016 until Dec 31st 2019. It aims at supporting women and girls to become more resilient and better protected, changing social norms and promoting gender equality as well as the effective participation of women in conflict resolution and peace building efforts. Working with local actors like the police and the traditional courts, engaging men and building the capacity of the community of gender equality and UNSCR 1325, including youth, are the core strategies. As stated in the Netherlands National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace and Security 2016-2019, we believe women and girls can be/are crucial actors to foster sustainable peace in South Sudan. As concluded in our gender sensitive context, actor and conflict analysis women and girls in South Sudan are however hampered to fully contribute to sustainable peace processes due to: • High levels of insecurity, where women and girls are often victims of sexual and gender based violence; • A non-conducive environment, where women and girls are often structurally discriminated against and deprived of their rights; • Internalized harmful gender norms, impeding women and girls to have a voice in decision making fora. This leads to a vicious circle as SGBV and exclusion from decision making are highly interlinked: when women feel insecure, they are less likely to participate in peacebuilding processes, which will in turn lead to unequal rights and security needs being not adequately addressed. In this prospect, a multi-sectoral and multi-level approach is required, which will lead to more resilient and better protected women and girls (Result area 1 of our Theory of Change), the existence of an enabling environment for the promotion of gender equality (Result area 2) and meaningful engagement of women and girls in peace and security-related processes (Result area 3). Pathway 1 : Promotion of resilience and protection of women and girls . While efforts for prevention and reduction of sexual and gender based violence are necessary, none the-less mechanisms and services to support survivors are crucial for strengthening women’s and girls’ resilience and enabling their participation in decision making. Pathway 2 : Promotion of gender equality. To create an enabling environment for structural change in social norms, various stakeholders needs to be involved: woman and girl leaders to promote gender equality, but also traditional community leaders, local authorities, religious leaders, teachers and other influential actors considered “gate keepers”: persons who influence the information available for others and therefore sets the dominant norms and standards to perceive the world. Families and community members needs also to be part of the process to transform thinking on gender and mainstream gender equality. Pathway 3 : Promotion of meaningful engagement of women and girls in local decision making related to conflict prevention and resolution and peacebuilding. For meaningful participation of women in peace and security, initiatives at local but also at national level for implementation of e.g. the South Sudan NAP, CEDAW and CRC are needed. The adoption and implementation of laws embed results achieved at community level but stimulate also further change in social norms. Important actors here are the civil society, whose capacity needs to be strengthened for sustainable change in policies, structures and processes. This is a new project, building on activities related to psychosocial support, peacebuilding and prevention of GBV activities implemented by other actors. Beneficiaries are community members in Nimule payam and Melijo IDP site in Melijo payam. More specifically, girls and women as well as the community as a whole through a more enabling environment for girls and women that creates a stronger society. Training and mentoring of psycho-social Focal points, Capacity Building of local Justice courts, Awareness raising on psycho-social distress and women and girls rights. Training of female and male gender advocate on gender and gender transformative processes, mobilisation of youth to promote gender equality, community dialogues, capacity building of peace committees, lobby and advocacy, monitoring, evaluation and documentation. It will be important to maintain the same key actors during the lenght of the project. Ownership by the local community will be important as well :for that the local contexct and prevelent social norms have to be taken into consideration.

La League Champions of Change (CoC), a project to empower girls and young women to overcome these obstacles, is being implemented in 10 rural communities in Chontales and Chinandega, Nicaragua, from July 2017 to August 2019. Football (soccer) is the heart of the project, stimulating girls (aged 12-20) to play the sport and help talented players become professional sporting heroes. Football is thus being used to transform gender norms and raise awareness on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). This project pilots a model that takes girls’ football to a higher level; as a sport and a driver for girls’ empowerment. To reinforce the change, Plan encourages fathers and boys to actively support girls. It is part of a broader pilot programme being carried out in Brazil and the Netherlands, and partnering with the Cruyff Foundation and Women Win. Every year, over 700 million women worldwide are married before they are 18 and about 16 million girls under 19 give birth. Becoming a wife and mother so young has far-reaching consequences. It causes early school dropout, increases the risk of exploitation, sexual and domestic violence and abuse, as well as death at childbirth. Holding girls back like this and endangering their lives negatively impacts a country’s overall development. In the largely male-oriented Latin America, girls often mistakenly believe that early marriage and pregnancy are their best escape from poverty and domestic violence. Nicaragua has one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in Latin America, affecting one in every four girls between 15-19. Moreover, it has serious consequences. It impacts young women’s health and development opportunities, puts the responsibility for raising children on their shoulders and perpetuates gender and social inequality. In Nicaragua the prevalence of early marriage increased from 45.9% in 2001 to 59.6% in 2011, with 39.9% of girls between 12 and 17 who were married very young now being mothers. In the Chinandega-West and Boaco – South Central regions of Nicaragua the rates of child marriages are significantly higher than the national average, at 70% and 59% respectively. At 35%, school dropout rates due to early marriage and motherhood are high. About 39% of married young mothers said they did not choose to have children so young, while 19% of girls under 18 did not consent to their first sexual experience. Over half of girls married at 14 are with men aged 21 or older, which leads to unequal relationships. Plan, together with the Johan Cruyff Foundation (JCF) and Women Win (WW), are combining successful methods into an effective new model called La League - Champions of Change. It uses football to empower girls and make them more visible, and involves fathers and boys in supporting the freedom and equal rights of girls. It follows three pathways. 1: The social empowerment of girls By stimulating girls to play football, they will experience teamwork and become more confident. This together with the CoC methodology will empower them to seek access to quality SRHR information and services so they can take informed actions on their sexual health, thus avoiding teenage pregnancies and early marriage. 2: The involvement of males To transform gender norms and raise awareness on SRHR, we are mobilising boys, fathers and other strong male role models to support girls, in football and in other important life choices. Plan's successful Champions of Change method will promote gender equality and this will be amplified by JCF’s ‘Heroes of the Cruyff Courts’. Community members will be actively encouraged to foster positive attitudes towards gender equality so they are committed to end child marriages and teenage pregnancies 3: The economic empowerment of girls Based on WW’s Leadership and Economic Empowerment Pathway (LEEP) the project will boost girls’ economic empowerment by creating income-generating opportunities centred around football. They can, for example, become coaches or referees or perhaps obtain scholarships to become professional footballers. Football will thus help change gender roles and create awareness for the negative effects of teenage pregnancies and child marriages. And not just for girls, but for everyone. Plan has a strong track record in working on sensitive themes in Nicaragua and has worked extensively in the field of SRHR with young and vulnerable people. Plan Nederland is currently implementing the “Mi Plan de Vida” project in several of the communities where the La League project is being carried out. The La League project will build on the success of “Mi Plan de Vida”, which focuses on enabling young people to make safe, sensible decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. La League will complement existing and previous Plan projects, thus making it possible to build on earlier successes, such as working with previously trained stakeholders and community structures. Plan is strongly embedded in the relevant communities and has powerful links with local government institutions, local stakeholders and community structures, including sport entities. In the course of empowering young women between the ages of 12 and 20 to prevent teenage pregnancies and child marriages, 300 girls will be trained as Champions of Change through football and an additional 40 girls will be economically empowered. Also, 150 boys will be trained as Champions of Change (12-20 years) and as ambassadors for gender equality and girls’ rights. Furthermore, 4,500 of these boys’ and girls’ peers will be reached through peer-to-peer events. The ultimate goal of La League is that through girls’ football adolescent girls in Nicaragua, together with their male peers, will be empowered to prevent teenage pregnancies and delay early marriages. Traditional gender norms can be challenged through the use of sport. It will give girls a sense of belonging, and being part of a team will offer them an identity beyond mere domesticity, thus offering them protection. Furthermore, participating in a sport programme will increase their networks and hook them up to institutions, programmes and mentors to which they would otherwise not have access. Football is traditionally a male-dominated environment and therefore the perfect space in which to challenge gender norms. The planned activities include those listed below. - A baseline study will be conducted into the incidence of teenage pregnancies and child marriages in the selected communities. This study will serve as input for the regional Latin American study conducted by Plan's regional office. - La League - Champions of Change will be further developed, including the design and printing of didactic materials and the training of trainers. - Start-up events will be organised with all stakeholders. - The necessary coordination will take place with local governments to transform municipal sports grounds into safe spaces for girls’ football, based on the Cruyff Courts model. - Girls will be given weekly football coaching, in which they will be trained to become Champions of Change. At the same time boys will also be trained to become Champions of Change. - Two media trainings will be given for 20 youth reporters. - Both the girls and the boys will organise small-scale peer-to-peer events to raise awareness about the harmful repercussions of child marriages and teenage pregnancies in their communities. These will reach at least 4,500 peers. - A hundred and fifty fathers, brothers and other male figures will be involved in the girls’ football activities, through a special La League Champions of Change module designed for fathers. - The fathers will organise 30 father-daughter events in support of girls’ football activities. - Two local and one national La League tournaments will be organised. - La League campaign materials will be aligned with the tournaments, in order to reach a large generic audience (aiming for 8,000 people). - A video documentary on the impact of girls’ football in Nicaragua will be produced. The expected impact and results, for each of the three previously mentioned pathways, are described below. Pathway 1 • 300 girls will be trained as Champions of Change through football • 20 girls’ football teams will be established in 10 communities • 150 boys will be trained as Champions of Change • 10 girls and 10 boys will become youth reporters and cover the progress of La League • 4,500 peers will be reached by the Champions of Change through peer-to-peer events Pathway 2 • 150 fathers/male role models will be actively involved in their daughters’/girls’ football activities and these males will support the girls in their SRHR decisions • 30 father/daughter events and 2 local and 1 national La League tournaments will be organised, reaching at least 8,000 people in the region • 300 community members will be stimulated to improve gender equality in their daily lives Pathway 3 • 40 girls will go through leadership and entrepreneur training, and thus gain access to football-related jobs (such as coaching and refereeing) • 4 talented girls will gain access to sports scholarships 1. The empowerment of girls All project interventions aim to strengthen girls’ and boys’ capacity as agents of change, thus driving change in their communities. Girls will acquire leadership skills that will be essential to ensuring the sustainability of the activities once the direct intervention period has ended. Reaching out to fathers male role models will help assure the presence of an enabling environment. 2. Connecting with local stakeholders During this pilot, Plan will connect with all stakeholders, from local up to national, and even international level. Including parents, schools, sports clubs and community leaders in our actions and reaching out to national football clubs, sports and education ministries. These stakeholders will be invited to adopt the girls’ football teams and integrate the methodology into their own spaces. 3. Developing, systemising and scaling-up effective methodology After this pilot project has ended it will be thoroughly evaluated with the aim to upscale this programme. This, so that this La League goes beyond the borders of the communities of this single project. Together with our partners, Plan aims to roll out girls’ football for gender equality globally. La League is therefore not only a method; it is also a movement for girls’ football worldwide that other NGOs, corporate partners, sports clubs and government agencies can join. Because then we can - together - empower as much girls and young women as possible through football.

NL-KVK-41198890-ETH102152 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: This project (December 2016-December 2021) tries to address the root causes of migration for both refugees and Ethiopian Youths. The programme plans to advocate with the private sector for gender equality in employment. This means that women have an equal chance to qualify for a job. It also means that they receive equal pay for the same work what their male colleagues are doing. The programme takes into account the legal, social and cultural barriers that limit Ethiopian young women’s access to and participation in the labour market. In this way the programme strives to be gender transformative. Training programmes are designed based on gender sensitive analyses and tailored to the specific male/female needs. 50% of project beneficiaries are intended to be young women (18-35 years of age). The programmes is implemented by a consortium led by ZOA; whereas NRC and IMC are partners as well. Of the total refugee and asylum seeker population in Ethiopia, an estimated 49.7% are women and girls and 56.7% are children. However a considerable proportion of particularly the Eritrean young refugees are male, ready to engage in further migration despite the immense risks. Gender disparities among the ‘source population’ in the camps (men more likely to be single, while the majority of women is married) suggest that men are more likely to leave on their own, to try their luck abroad. The urban area of Addis Ababa, hosting the largest number of refugees, is facing various urban challenges such as weak and poorly developed economic base, deepening poverty and unemployment, acute of housing shortage, rapid proliferation of squatter settlements, poorly developed infrastructure. This combined with the rapid urban population growth - expected to reach 6,37 million inhabitancy by 2030 - and increasing number of refugees is putting the city under an alarming development pressure, failing to provide its citizen with adequate service and employment opportunities provision. The programme facilitates an environment that allows young Ethiopians and refugees to contribute to the sustainable improvement of the lives of Ethiopians and migrants in Ethiopia. This reduces the likelihood of onward movement. This enabling environment is created by: (1) improving legal frameworks that shape options available to refugees; (2) targeting the people at risk of migration in their current environment and providing opportunities for employment; (3) connecting them to basic services; and (4) focusing on realistic information sharing to the people at risk so they are able to make informed decisions on migration and destination countries, including awareness raising on harmful practices. There is a clear interplay between the defined outcomes. A proper legal framework for migration needs to be accompanied by initiatives that provide better economic opportunities; these opportunities thrive when legal frameworks are clear and favourable. Despite good economic prospects, the lack of quality basic services can force people into migration. Even when all aspects of daily life are favourable, people continue to dream of a better life elsewhere. Therefore, all programme outcomes are necessary to really make potential migrants stay and build a life in the place where they are. This programme is based on the main assumption that limited prospects for social and economic empowerment is an important incentive for youth (female and male) to seek a better future elsewhere. Also, migrants in Ethiopia are seriously hampered in their ability to build their lives due to legal restrictions and lack of access to basic services. This programme aims to address these gaps by enhancing the youth’s (both Ethiopian and migrant) access to employment opportunities. The programme is not be implemented in a vacuum. There are several organisations or institutions, which are not part of the consortium, but have a more or less direct link with the realisation of the programme outcomes. These so-called boundary partner organisations implement activities and interventions that support or link with the outcomes of the programme. Some of these interventions are necessary for the programme outcome, while other interventions can contribute to it. Most important boundary organisations are government institutions, humanitarian organisations and institutional donors. Together these organisations form a tight knit network that provides basic services to refugees and the most vulnerable groups in the Ethiopian society. This support should not dwindle as most of the programme’s beneficiaries depend on these services. The programme will actively seek synergy with activities of these organisations. For example, in the refugee camps there are programmes that stimulate livelihoods activities and provide Vocational Skills training (VST). Participants in these programmes would benefit even more if they can connect with private sector initiatives outside the camps. Moreover, including TVET institutes in the VST programmes in the camps would be mutual beneficial as the TVET institutes can expand their reach and the VST would improve in quality. Young Ethiopian and Eritrean and Somali refugees residing in Addis Ababa and their families. xisting legal frameworks and their implementation in Ethiopia hamper the free movement of refugees and their ability to build their lives. In this context, the programme focuses on supporting ARRA and government institutions to provide clarity on the OCP and explore revisions to make the OCP a more sustainable option for refugees, which facilitates self-reliance among refugees. When necessary, the programme builds the capacity of authorities in charge of implementing migration policies, so that they are able to do their tasks in an enhanced and inclusive manner. As the OCP is a sensitive topic, a cautious approach will be followed, showcasing that a productive refugee population is beneficial and in line with Ethiopian government priorities. The first step in this approach is to negotiate local solutions with local government and private sector representatives. When from these solutions good practices can be derived, they will be documented and disseminated to relevant stakeholders. This soft advocacy comprises sharing good practices, highlighting benefits of a more inclusive OCP on national security by being able to register currently 'illegal' individuals into a formal system. Also, the programme intends to build capacities of officials that are in charge of implementing legislation related to migration. The programme focuses on refugees and youth at risk of migration that are concentrated in urban and peri-urban areas. In each area, the programme contributes to the creation of (self) employment opportunities. The programme collaborates with major stakeholders, such as local chambers of commerce, private sector, training institutions, government authorities and knowledge institutes to increase employment opportunities for youth, both through enhancing youth employment in growing economic sectors and entrepreneurship. This will be achieved by creating round tables through which young potential migrants are able to access information on training and employment opportunities. These round tables will also function as a mechanism to adjust the trainings to the needs of the market and match youth to jobs. Moreover, the programme stimulates creation of small businesses, based on local value chain studies focusing on gaps and opportunities in the sub-sector. Collaboration with government authorities is sought in facilitating the promotion of local entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial and vocational training is offered to the target group. These trainings are tailor-made on the needs and aspirations of the participants and designed on the basis of market assessments. Young people, interested in setting up businesses, are assisted by tailor-made training (incl. business plan development) as well as start-up materials and when necessary accompanied by financial institutions (incl. VSLA or provision of seed capital). Additionally, through the networks, businessmen are linked to the youth providing guidance during job placements and business start-ups. The programme mainly assumes a brokering role between service providers and migrants. Through its awareness raising activities, the programme refers potential beneficiaries towards various service providers in their vicinity. The consortium will advocate with (Federal) government authorities and donor agencies to allocate funds to the provision of basic services to refugees and citizens. In various manners, the programme sends out information to young people at risk of migration. This information helps them to make informed decisions about their future and potential dangers and consequences of irregular migration. The first instrument in this strategy is the creation of platforms and facilitation of linkages with existing networks for interactive dialogue and information sharing. Within these platforms, potential migrants, diaspora and repatriated migrants exchange information on risks of migration and difficulties within the host country, for example through participatory video projects, social media and hotline services. Another instrument in the strategy is the use of mass media to bring across the message of the real migration story. The programme actively seeks participation in TV and radio shows and approaches the mass media with video messages and IEC materials. Any change in the implementation of the OCP needs to be supported and sustained by changes in the legal framework related to labour and migration. Therefore, to ensure legislative sustainability, the programme will work with ARRA to explore what possibilities may arise to influence policy at Regional State and Federal State level. Financial and organisational conditions are important. For this reason, round tables will be organised and information centres will be established. Although these structures will be low-cost, they still require some investment of its users. Also one of the stakeholders will need to coordinate these structures after project closure. Therefore, the programme will involve them in already the set up of the structures by jointly creating the frameworks in terms of financial management and organisational responsibilities. The hand-over of responsibilities will take place gradually, but most important in hand-over is that final responsible stakeholder(s) are involved in laying the foundations for the structures. The sustainability of social acceptance is embedded in messaging youth at risk for irregular migration and their families about the dangers related to migration. As these messages aim to influence expectations and behaviour of the target groups, the programme will make sure that the messages are at the appropriate level, are verifiable and connect to the real information needs of the target group. Actors who can play a positive and supporting role in this are organisations representing diaspora and repatriates and religious and traditional leaders.

They have little or no opportunity to continue education and lack the necessary skills to gain decent employment or engage in livelihood or enterprise activities. They are affected by conflicts, natural hazards and extreme poverty. 3,113 children and youth beneficiaries will get vocational-technical education, enterprise development training and flexible learning options. 113 teachers from DepEd and training institutions will get skills upgrading training and improved curriculum that consider the soft skills necessary to increase productivity in the workplace. Plan will ensure that girls and young women are included, and will strengthen acceptance and preference for girls’ education and economic empowerment. In the Bangsamoro region or the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), where this project is being implemented, those under 18 years make up 45% of the population. For years, the children and youth in this region have suffered from the effects of poor governance, corruption, and in particular, conflict. Instead of benefiting from education, many children and youth grow old labouring, living between homes and evacuation centres, or taking up arms and serving in the local armed forces. Reliable data is scarce in this province, but a 2009 record pointed that in ARMM’s Maguindanao province, 23% of children and youth aged 6 to 24 are out of school. In 2012, Maguindanao was rated with 73.8% poverty incidence. It has the highest numbers of out of school youth in the region, with only 25% secondary school completion rates. Marginalized children and youth experience significant hurdles transitioning to and completing secondary education and ultimately gaining the critical life skills and assets they need to get access to decent work and other life opportunities. In poor families, young women who often bear the main burden of poverty, according to the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) . When poor parents have to choose, it is the girls who are forced out of schools to work and support family members. In a study conducted by the BDA, Maguindanao is the biggest source in the ARMM region for girls and young women trafficking abroad. Girls in this situation work in often dangerous conditions as domestic helpers abroad with their names and ages altered to meet legal requirements. This was confirmed by the 2014 UNICEF Child Protection Rapid Assessment Report, that also states that poverty and armed conflict force poor parents to marry off their girls due to lack of education or livelihood opportunities, even when the girls are below legal age and have little understanding of their rights and roles as wives. The project ensures that boys and girls have increased opportunities to complete secondary education through Flexible Learning Options (FLO). The learning and skills provided through FLO will allow the youth to transition into technical, vocational and enterprise training (TVET) which requires secondary school graduation. The project will ensure that 1) there are safe, effective educational spaces for young people, and 2) young people are equipped with the education and skills necessary to graduate from secondary schools, succeed in life and contribute to their communities. The project will use ICT for Education solutions, which will expand the scope and depth of youth employment training initiatives through online training courses. Plan’s Youth Employment Solutions (YES) Digital Ecosystem provides engaging experiences for learners, effective tools for teacher training and monitoring and evaluation tools that tracks and traces youth for up to five years after the completion of the project. This project will also help bridge the gap between technical and vocational training and finding work based on Plan’s global Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) Framework. This framework provides information, skills, and essential mentorship and support to youth. The training for formal employment empowers youth to make informed decisions regarding future work. The project aligns with Plan International Philippines’ five-year strategy that supports youth to transition from secondary school to employment. Plan works with DepEd and TESDA—Plan’s partners for FLO and alternative learning systems (ALS), and vocational and technical training programs, respectively. This project responds to what the children want as expressed in the UNICEF report. By providing them opportunities to stay in schools, the children and youth will have more chances to a) get higher levels of education which can provide them with better options in life, b) delay their marriage because children staying in schools are rarely married young, and c) freely discuss with their peers social and academic issues that affect them that are not discussed in communities and in homes. The project also builds on the lessons from the YEE programs implemented as part of Plan’s recovery and rehabilitation program for Typhoon Haiyan-affected communities in Leyte and Samar provinces. The project developed implementation standards on the beneficiary selection process, career guidance, life skills modules, job facilitation and partnership with the business sector and government agencies. Other projects funded by the Asian Development Bank and the UK’s Big Lottery Fund (BLF) also used the same approach with an added focus on disability inclusion. Youth employment projects also use the YES monitoring and evaluation (YESME) developed for Plan Asia, designed to track and trace participants after graduation. The same monitoring system will be used for this project including the field-tested approaches on YEE and disability inclusion. 3,113 direct beneficiaries (51% girls, 49% boys), specifically 1,250 students aged 14-25 in FLO (secondary and senior high schools); 1,250 aged 14-25 in Community-based enterprise development (CBED), 500 for Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and 113 teachers The project aims to contribute in enabling male and female youth in Maguindanao to complete quality secondary education and secure decent work and contribute to local development and peace building. Outcome 1: To increase equitable access to quality education among secondary school-aged children through: Increasing completion rates of girls and boys and young men and women in equitable and quality secondary education leading to effective learning outcomes by: a) developing transparent student selection processes with project stakeholders; b) providing academic peer tutoring and support for secondary school aged-children; c) enhancing participatory educational pedagogies to increase student completion rates; d) providing a Student Support Fund to cover critical needs to access quality education; and e) monitoring participation of learners through learning and reflection to enhance quality. Upgrading education spaces to be safer, inclusive and effective learning environments. This includes supporting efforts to implement school improvement plans (SIP) through service leadership and community engagement. Structural and non-structural assessments and upgrading will be conducted in schools and training facilities to improve learning and increase security. Supporting administrators, teachers, parents and communities in ensuring that children and youth in target areas have unhampered access to education. Alumni associations and other civil society organization (CSOs) in the communities will be engaged to support secondary school-aged children with their need for material, financial and on-the-job training opportunities while relevant bodies such as the Parents Teachers Associations (PTA) and School Governing Councils (SGC) will be assisted in the development and implementation of their SIPs. Outcome 2: To strengthen capabilities of young people in Maguindanao to gain livelihoods and build inclusive, peaceful communities through: Supporting youth with access to TVET, employability, life skills and linkages to the job market. This involves the conduct of market scan, transparent selection process for TVET training, partnership with TESDA and other accredited schools, partnership with industry sector for market driven skills training using different modality to include a dual track training system (DTS), center-based and community-based trainings. Plan will also work with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) to assist the young men and women to apply for summer employment through job fairs and receive career coaching and develop/formulate youth group enterprises. Increasing capacity and technical skills of skills to form community groups and to engage in dialogue, conflict resolution, advocacy and media. The youth will be provided with opportunities to engage in barangay or community events to provide service leadership by, among others, organizing activities/events/advocacy campaigns and other civic-oriented activities. Youth alumni association established at the municipal level will encourage youth engagement beyond the project life. Part of the plan is for the alumni to set up a fund to help finance the basic needs of youth who will transition to employment. It will be repaid in a few tranches when he/she is receiving a salary. They in turn will become alumni and contribute to the fund. Part of their task is mentoring other youth enrolled in skills training or engage in micro enterprises. TESDA, DepEd, PESO, and the local government units will be engaged to ensure sustainability of project beyond the project life. TESDA personnel will be trained on gender and disability inclusion to ensure that facilities and training methodologies will be appropriate and inclusive following the minimum requirements specified by law. Life skills training will be integrated in the curriculum of TESDA and accredited TVET institutions in Maguindanao. DepEd personnel will be trained on the different methodologies under the Flexible Learning Options such as the modular Open High School and the accreditation and equivalency program. With trained teachers, the established Open High School will continue to cater to youth in difficult situations to access basic education after the end of the project. The PESO and local government will be oriented to advocate to the industry and companies to be more inclusive in their hiring policies and encouraged to establish the youth hub which will serve as venue for youth engagement with companies and local employers and mentoring and coaching of students by alumni members.

The Down to Zero (DtZ) project is combatting this situation through preventative and protective measures that focus on actual child victims and on children who are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation. The project aims to empower young girls and boys, create safer communities, assist in law enforcement and policy implementation and work together with the private sector, such as the tourist industry. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Netherlands, together with its partners Terre des Hommes (which is the lead partner), DCI-ECPAT, ICCO, Free a Girl and the Netherlands Embassies in the relevant countries. It will be carried out in 11 countries in Latin America and Asia. Plan will implement the necessary activities in Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Indonesia. The Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) is a fundamental violation of children’s rights. It includes child prostitution, child pornography and child trafficking for sexual purposes. Many children lack the knowledge and/or the ability to speak out against or resist these forms of exploitation. Any objections they might have are ignored or not taken seriously by policy makers or the police, and often not even by their own parents. The communities in which these children live are not always safe for them. Their families are often unaware of the risks their children face, and in some cases they even encourage their children to enter child prostitution. Norms and values that tolerate violence against women are widespread and these are conspiring to make the victims feel ashamed. Furthermore, laws and policies are often not implemented or enforced, and this leads to large-scale impunity (the people who are guilty of this exploitation are going unpunished). In addition to all this, the private sector is not always aware of the effects it can have on CSEC and it could be underestimating its responsibility. The DtZ programme will address the consequences and root causes of CSEC, such as poverty, lack of education, gender imbalances and cultural norms and values that encourage such sexual exploitation. It will do so in four interconnected ways. Firstly, it will empower children. By means of child-led (online) campaigns and life-skills and vocational trainings, children will be encouraged to speak up and protect themselves if they feel in danger of being exploited. It will also offer them possible alternative sources of income. Secondly, by making them agents of change they will be strongly involved in mobilising parents, community and religious leaders, nurses and teachers to become allies in the struggle against CSEC. The active engagement of men and boys, including fathers, brothers and peers, as well as potential offenders, will be crucial in changing norms and values in communities. Furthermore, a well-functioning referral system connected to formal child-protection bodies will make communities safer for children. Thirdly, laws and policies to combat impunity must be implemented and enforced. By showing governments the scale of the problem through research data and by supporting the development of practical local action plans, government officials will be more willing to address the problem, and with sufficient budget. Lastly, the private sector will be encouraged to commit to zero-tolerance towards the sexual exploitation of children. The successful Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism will be further promoted and it will serve as an example for other industries. DtZ builds on the results obtained and the lessons learned from previous interventions carried out by the alliance partners. For Plan, the most important of these are: - a project called “A Collective NO to Child Sex Tourism” in Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil (2011-2014), and implemented with DCI-ECPAT; - a CSEC project in Brazil (Pernambuco) and in the south-east region of the Dominican Republic (May 2015-June 2016), which was part of a larger programme implemented by DCI-ECPAT (lead), Terre des Hommes and Free a Girl in 25 countries. In all these countries, local partners of DCI-ECPAT have been combatting child sex tourism and other forms of exploitation for many years. Plan and its local partners, such as Childhood Brazil and Caminante, have been active in this field in Brazil since 2011 and in the Dominican Republic since 2015. In the context of this project, regions other than the ones mentioned in the previous two projects will be targeted. In Brazil, the project will focus on Bahia Sate and in the Dominican Republic the intervention will be extended to the north, east and south-west regions of the country. For Plan Indonesia, CSEC is a new thematic intervention. The end beneficiaries include the actual victims and children at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial purposes in the 11 countries. The main focus will be on the most vulnerable children under the age of 18, while some elements will also include young people up to the age of 25. A specifically targeted group will be the exploited children, particularly girls, of ethnic communities.

Regional institutions such as the African Union (AU) and the Regional Economic Communities (REC) such as ECOWAS in West-Africa and the East African Community (ECA) are responsible for monitoring the compliance of member states. Unfortunately, there are still governments that fail to implement these treaties. The Girls Advocacy alliance will influence regional institutions to promote member states’ compliance, particularly on the issues of child marriage and child trafficking. The alliance members, Plan, Terre des Hommes and DCI-ECPAT will support regional civil society networks in Africa, to strengthen their collaboration and increase the effectiveness of their advocacy efforts towards regional institutions. The programme started in 2016 and will end in 2020. Despite the adoption of regional treaties and agreements by African governments, such as the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights, the Maputo Protocol on the Rights of Women and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, too many governments are not implementing the actions stipulated under these treaties. The treaties also entail reporting and monitoring requirements and mechanisms through which individual member states can be hold accountable by regional institutions. Unfortunately, the process of regional monitoring and accountability is plagued by many weaknesses. Regional institutions often lack capacity and accurate data to perform their monitoring function. Many African governments do not comply with the reporting requirements set under these treaties due to technical capacity constraints and lack of political will. There is not enough willingness to sanction those governments that do not respect their regional commitments. Finally, the lack of a strong advocacy at regional level by effective civil society networks further complicates the accountability of member states. The long-term goal of the alliance at Africa regional level is to eliminate GBV and to increase girls’ and young women’s access to economic opportunities. In order to achieve this goal, the alliance aims to obtain the following results: 1. Enhance capacity of regional and sub-regional civil society organisation (CSO) networks to influence regional policy making and monitoring 2. Improved monitoring and accountability mechanisms and practices by regional and sub-regional bodies (ECOWAS and EAC) 3. Regional and sub-regional policies on migration, covering cross border issues of CSEC and trafficking successfully mainstream children’s rights The alliance members, together with their regional partners FAWE and FIDA, will lobby the regional institutions to ensure that regional agreements and policies are being implemented by national governments. To this end, they will closely cooperate with key agents within these regional institutions such as the Special Rapporteur on Women’s Rights and the Organisation of African First Ladies. In addition, they will provide support to regional networks of child and women rights organisations and promote the voices of girls and young women in regional advocacy platforms. The specific advocacy issues of the alliance, child marriage and child trafficking, are increasingly being recognized by policy makers within African regional institutions. In 2014, the African Union launched a campaign to eliminate child marriage, which in the past two years has been endorsed by a growing number of African governments. The African Union appointed a Goodwill Ambassador on ending child marriages and Africa’s Special Rapporteur on Women’s Rights has made various calls to African leaders to reform laws and policies in the struggle against child marriage. The alliance members Plan, DCI, ECPAT and Terre des Hommes, have developed strong relationships with essential bodies within the African Union and the Regional Economic Communities. In addition to the Goodwill Ambassador and the Special Rapporteur mentioned above, alliance members are recognized as professional and legitimate spokespersons on children’s and women’s rights by the African Court, the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of Children. The engagement with these bodies is a key condition for successful advocacy in regional policy and monitoring processes. The ultimate (indirect) beneficiaries are girls (10 – 18 years) and young women (18 – 24 years) in all African member states who should benefit from improved policy implementation by their national governments (in accordance to the regional treaties and agreements). The core of the Africa regional programme is the capacity support provided to the regional (women’s rights) partners FAWE and FIDA. Based on their current advocacy capacity strengths and weaknesses and their own interests, the alliance will invest in the development of their organisational skill to design effective advocacy strategies, draft sound advocacy messages, deepen the collaboration with other regional and national civil society organisations and to strengthen their engagement with crucial regional bodies. Together with FAWE and FIDA, the alliance members will engage in lobby and advocacy, conduct research and linking and networking actions. The lobby and advocacy actions include: 1. Support advocacy by sub-regional CSOs for full ratification and reporting campaign on the Maputo Protocol and other regional and sub regional instruments 2. Support CSO advocacy on the Continental Campaign on Ending Child Marriages in Africa at Regional and Continental levels as well as media engagement. 3. Support national CSOs and Youth networks particularly girls to consult, produce and submit Complementary Reports to ACERWC & ACmHPR and participate in their sessions 4. Support the Women, Gender and Development Directorate of the African Union to plan and commemorate the International Day of the Girl across the continent 5. Engagement and lobby the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Women in Africa on enhancing the monitoring and accountability mechanisms of state parties on women and girls’ rights and gender equality 6. Support CSOs to be actively engaged in development of report cards on the Maputo protocol and other regional and sub regional instruments 7. Organize girls and young women led sessions/meetings during key regional and sub-regional events such as the AUC summit, GIMAC and engage with governments representatives on policy dialogue The planned research actions include: 1. Conduct an assessment of key AU, ECOWAS and EAC policies The regional Girls Advocacy programme in Africa has been designed to ensure the sustainability of the expected policy and practice results at country level (the 6 GAA country programmes in Africa). By improving regional monitoring and accountability mechanisms, individual governments will face more external pressure (emanating from their regional neighbours) to act in accordance to regional standards and commitments. Strategies to ensure the sustainability of improved regional mechanisms are: 1. By strengthening the organisational capacity of key regional civil society partners, they will be able to perform their watchdog role effectively in the long run; 2. The promotion of strong regional networks of civil society organisations will increase the impact of regional civil society advocacy in the future (as joint action is likely to be much more successful than the isolated advocacy efforts of individual organisations); 3. The mobilization of groups of girls and young women and their engagement with regional bodies and individual governments will support the development of a new generation of female activists and advocates able to put girls and women’s rights on the regional agenda.

The five year programme started in January 2016 and is carried out in strategic partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The goal is to eliminate gender-based violence and the economic exclusion of girls and young women. The programme uses international human rights monitoring, accountability mechanisms and the Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) to ensure that governments of the ten GAA countries (Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and the Philippines) uphold their obligations and the internationally agreed objectives. The programme builds the capacity and supports the advocacy efforts of local and national civil society organisations. Girls and young women are supported by youth lead country monitoring and in person representation at fora. In order to achieve the protection against violence and the empowerment of girls and young women there are two constraining factors in the international arena that we have to take into consideration. First, in order to achieve the empowerment of girls and young women, civil society needs the freedom to operate. States should ensure an enabling environment for civil society. However, the space for civil society is shrinking considerably in many countries in the world. An increasing number of states is seeking to shelter themselves from public pressure. International human rights review mechanisms do provide opportunities for civil society to denounce restrictive measures while at the same time, they are also affected by the deteriorating civil society environment. Secondly, the global agenda of children's and women's rights is also being threatened by the emergence of an international coalition of organisations and governments opposed to the goals of gender equality and sexual and reproductive health rights. This coalition aims to impose the view of the 'traditional family' in international debates and human rights monitoring processes. By questioning the individal rights of girls and women and denying the diversity of and within families, it poses a real threat to a progressive agenda for children and women. To protect girls and young women from all forms of gender-based violence, labour exploitation and to empower them economically, the GAA in the global arena will focus on 2 target actors: civil society and governments. Under civil society GAA global includes CSOs for girls and young women as well as youth advocates. Furthermore, GAA global holds governments accountable by on the one hand utilizing the existing Human Rights Mechanisms in Geneva. On the other hand GAA global will also engage in the review processes of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Change (the HLPF in New York) and with the International Labour Organization (ILO). Through linking and networking, capacity development, lobby and advocacy and research GAA Global wants to achieve the following changes: 1. GAA country CSOs have improved capacity to influence their governments and to engage strategically with HR mechanisms and in SDG review processes; 1. A targeted group of young advocates have capacity to mobilize others behind priority SDGs, lead and participate in events, develop advocacy strategies and engage in direct advocacy; 2. Effective monitoring of the performance of national governments in GAA countries by international human rights mechanisms; 3. Effective monitoring of national governments SDG implementation plans More accurate monitoring by international bodies, resulting in relevant recommendations for national governments should in the longer term improve the follow up by national governments in GAA countries of the recommendations of the HR mechanisms. It should also contribute to enhanced governments' responsiveness to the recommendations of the international community on SDG progress. The final beneficiaries of the GAA global advocacy are girls and young women living in the 10 GAA countries who benefit from improved implementation of public policies and programmes aimed at the elimination of gender based violence and economic exclusion. The main advocacy actions which contribute to the achievement of the first goal of stronger CSO influencing are: 1. Conduct mapping with country level input of existing and planned youth advocacy initiatives 2. Deliver youth advocacy trainings to GAA organisations and partners in GAA countries 3. Provide technical assistance on plans/proposals for youth engagement in national and international influencing opportunities 4. Technical assistance to in-country GAA teams (sharing information, deadlines, outlining relevant recommendations from HRMs) and mapping of the engagement of the GAA partners in HRMs The main actions to be implemented in relation to the effective monitoring of GAA countries by international human rights mechanisms are: 1. Develop advocacy briefing papers, including key recommendations, to be used in meetings with Permanent Missions and relevant human rights mechanisms and bodies 2. Organization of side events on how to keep girls and young women safe from violence and empower them economically around/during meetings of the Human Rights Council and other relevant fora 3. Support country GAA teams to engage in the entire cycle of human rights monitoring (CRC, CEDAW, UPR) by advocating for Governments to submit overdue reports and remove reservations Finally, the advocacy actions related to the objective of improved monitoring of SDG implementation plans of national governments are: 1. Develop a strategy around engaging with major stakeholders, including CSOs and intergovernmental bodies, in order to have access to / feed into the data collection for the Voluntary National Review (VNR) process 2. Provide advice and support to GAA partners in countries to facilitate their engagement in the VNR process at least nine months ahead of the High Level Political Forum 3.

This project is the continuation of Joint response 2 and is implemented as part of the Dutch Relief Alliance Consortium with 12 other Dutch NGOs. The aim of this project is to save lives and alleviate suffering of those most in need of assistance and protection, by protecting and promoting livelihoods to enhance coping mechanisms and improve access to food. This project was implemented from March 1st to December 31st 2017 in Lainya County (Central Equatoria State) and focuses on food insecure households by providing farming groups with seeds and tools to enable most vulnerable households to farm their lands. Beneficiaries, as well as local government authorities will be trained by Plan in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture on conservative agriculture while training on Gender Based Violence and protection to mitigate protection risks and refer cases to protection actors. As per the HRP, 7.5 million people in South Sudan are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection as a result of armed conflict, economic crisis, diseases and climate shocks. The HRP and HNO 2017 identify especially Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) and protection but also WASH as sectors with highest needs. Needs assessments of Plan and Cordaid in Lainya confirm these needs. FSL: 4.8 million South Sudanese and 141.000 people in Lainya are estimated to be severely food insecure and this is expected to rise in 2017. Plan’s response is based on the deteriorating FSL situation in Greater Equatoria, Lainya county, affected by the conflict of 2016, inflation and lack of rainfall, consequently leaving people cut off from planting and harvesting, resulting in more food insecurity. To restore the food production, food security, cohesion and safety, Plan will conduct a beneficiary assessment, pre-planting and post-harvest surveys, a conservation agriculture training, and distribution of seeds and tools to beneficiary groups. To ensure capacity, land provision and food assistance, local agricultural authorities will be trained on good agricultural practices, gender and protection. WASH: 4,8 million South Sudanese and 64.200 people in Lainya are in need of support to access safe water and sanitation facilities. Plan's partner TdH will focus on WASH in Lainya targeting the same beneficiaries. Mainstreaming Protection: Plan's needs assessment stated, children in Lainya were recruited by armed forces, while females were victims of SGBV. As per the HRP, all sectors, including FSL and WASH should mainstream gender sensitive strategies to prevent, respond to protection risks. As such, Plan and TdH will mainstream protection in its FSL and WASH programming, by establishing community committees responsible for the distribution of seeds, tools and hygiene kits, and protection. The proposed action is aligned to UNOCHAs overall objectives 1 and 2 in the HRP. Plan will contribute to FSL: SO 1) Secure safe and life-saving access to food for the most vulnerable, SO 2) Protect and promote livelihoods to enhance coping mechanisms and improve access to food. Expected result 1 for SO1: 10.543 most vulnerable people (1837 households) of which at least 60% female have increased safe and life-saving access to food. Key activities R1, aligned to WFP: selection of most vulnerable beneficiaries through community based targeting process; Training on conservation agriculture; Purchase of tools and seeds of short season staple crops (sorghum) and vegetables (supplementary, being less labour intensive, higher monetary value and contribution to nutrition security), harvested after 2-3 months; Distribution of seeds and tools, in a gender sensitive manner by the community committee to beneficiaries. Expected result 2 for SO2: Livelihoods of 10.543 people have been protected and promoted through enhanced coping mechanisms and access to food. Key activities R2: Forming farming groups of 10 beneficiaries (IDPs and host communities) to work on each household’s plot of land ensuring capacity, gender inclusion, and social safety nets, also after the project (ensuring exit strategy); Beneficiaries are trained to enhance coping mechanisms and farming as a business to improve food production and income, based on a pre-and post-harvest survey. Surplus of harvest will be sold as income generating activity. Authorities are trained on gender, protection and farming to enhance safety, engagement and sustainability. Mainstreaming protection: In 3 payams Community Committees will be formed to 1) safely distribute seeds, tools and hygiene kits to beneficiaries, 2) ensure that rights are respected and protection risks are prevented/responded to when gathering for food &WASH assistance, 3) establish a feedback mechanism/helpdesk that will include GBV prevention and response and identification and referral of unaccompanied children. Focus is on the most vulnerable communities (60% females) including IDPs and host communities who have lost most of their livelihood assets, child-headed & elderly headed families, female headed families and chronically ill headed families who are most food insecure and face the highest protection risks. Plan and TdH will conduct with the local authorities a beneficiary selection assessment to identify who is most eligible/ in need. Activity 1. Identification and registration of beneficiaries and distribution of seeds and tools Activity2. Training of beneficiaries on conservation agriculture and GBV and protection related issues.

It is implemented by a consortium led by Plan, composed of PAX, Healthnet and STAD, with in certain locations local implementing partners as AMA and EWO. It has been implemented since Nov 1st 2016 in Eastern Equatoria State ( Magwi and Nimule Payams) , in Lakes States ( West Yirol County) and in Unity State (Payijar County), until December 31st 2019. South Sudan has been engaged in a peace process for several years, where girls and women are often not considered, not as victims, nor as potential actors to build sustainable and inclusive peace. In the frame of the National Action Plan of the Dutch government to support the implementation of the UN resolution 1325, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs funds programmes under the Women, Peace and Security funding. As stated in the Netherlands National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace and Security 2016-2019, we believe women and girls can be/are crucial actors to foster sustainable peace in South Sudan. As concluded in our gender sensitive context, actor and conflict analysis women and girls in South Sudan are however hampered to fully contribute to sustainable peace processes due to: • High levels of insecurity, where women and girls are often victims of sexual and gender based violence; • A non-conducive environment, where women and girls are often structurally discriminated against and deprived of their rights; • Internalized harmful gender norms, impeding women and girls to have a voice in decision making fora. This leads to a vicious circle as SGBV and exclusion from decision making are highly interlinked: when women feel insecure, they are less likely to participate in peacebuilding processes, which will in turn lead to unequal rights and security needs being not adequately addressed. In this prospect, a multi-sectoral and multi-level approach is required, which will lead to more resilient and better protected women and girls (Result area 1 of our Theory of Change), the existence of an enabling environment for the promotion of gender equality (Result area 2) and meaningful engagement of women and girls in peace and security-related processes (Result area 3). This is a new project, building on activities related to psychosocial support, peacebuilding and prevention of GBV activities implemented by other actors. Beneficiaries are community members in the different locations. More specifically, women and youth as well asinfluential persons in the community will be targeted. Moreover, programme will strenghten capacities and learning between consortium members and their local partners. Training and mentoring of Psychosocial Focal points, Capacity Building of local Justics courts, Awareness raising on psychosocial distress and women and girls rights. Training of fenmale and male gender advocate on gender and gender transformative processes, mobilization of youth to promote gender equality, community dialogues, capacity building of peace committees, lobby and advocacy, monitoring, evaluation and documentation It will be important to maintain the same key actors during the lenght of the project. Ownership by the local community will be important as well :for that the local contexct and prevelent social norms have to be taken into consideration.

For many the country is a Caribbean dream. Many Dominicans, however, live in poverty. Youth unemployment is high. 31% of youth (70% of them women) do not work or study. Many hotels are looking for skilled staff. Education levels are low. Girls encounter gender-based discrimination and face risks of being (sexually) exploited. Teenage pregnancy rates are 21%, twice the world average. The TUI Academy offers youth an alternative career path in the hospitality sector. 150 youngsters (17-24 years old, 70% female) in 3 communities in Punta Cana will have access to decent work by the end of 2019, by 1) a vocational training programme 2) support to life skills to build confidence and personal effectiveness, business and work readiness skills, knowledge on sexual and reproductive health & rights and gender equality 3) an internship for 3 months and a 6 months job guarantee at one of the resorts is offered. the Dominican Republic, the economy is growing with and through tourism. For many the island, with its white beaches and wonderful climate, embodies the dream of the Caribbean. Many Dominicans, however, live in poverty. Youth unemployment in the country is high, as 31% of youth between 15-24 years old (70% of them women) do not work or study, while many hotels and resorts are looking for skilled and motivated staff. Many youth have low levels of education, and therefore lack relevant knowledge, practical and soft skills such as workplace behavior, customer service and basic financial management. Besides, youth -especially girls- encounter traditional gender roles and gender-based discrimination, both in society as in their homes. They face severe risks of being (sexually) exploited, leading to unsafe and unstable working environments and high teenage pregnancy rates (21%, which is double to the world average).

The political crisis in CAR has increased the vulnerability and risks that boys and girls are confronted with. The project aims to prevent violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of children and respond to the protection and reintegration needs of the most vulnerable boys and girls, especially unaccompanied and separated children, CAFAAGs and child survivors of GBV. Activity will be implemented jointly by Plan International Central African Republic, and the Centre de Promotion des Droits de l'Enfant (CPDE), a local NGO, in partnership with War Child and Tearfund. It will be implemented in Ouham prefecture, Bossangoa sub-prefecture, using a community based child protection approach, including Child Friendly Spaces, as well as case management and capacity building of local actors and service providers. Despite the peacebuilding efforts, CAR remains an extremely volatile country with frequent atrocious attacks against civilians, due to resentment between communities, fighting between armed groups, transhumance, the weak rule of law and the absence of functioning justice, security and protection systems. 1.4 million children in CAR are in need of child protection 40,000 children are at risk of being separated from their families during movements; to be recruited into armed groups; sexually abused or deprived of their rights. The breakdown of social protection and underlying harmful gender norms leave (adolescent) girls particularly vulnerable to (sexual) violence, forced marriage, and sexually transmitted. disease : 97,000 girls and women in CAR are at-risk of GBV . Among the most vulnerable are as well unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), as they lack adult care to cater to their security, health, education and psycho-emotional needs, and children associated with armed forces and groups (CAAFAG). In addition to the psychological distress, CAAFAG may face rejection by their families/ communities, due to their participation in armed groups. Intervention logic is aligned with the HRP for Plan and CP sub-cluster guidance. SO 1: Protection of conflict-affected populations is reinforced, through strenghtening community based child protection mechanisms, training local Ministry of Social Welfare and service providers in case management, child and gender friendly approaches and awareness raising on child rights as part of the Celebrations of Day of the African Child. Moreover children and youth in need of reintegration support, such as CAFAAGs, GBV survivors and UASCs are supported to access eduaction, vocational training and or income generating activities. UASCs are supported with IDRT activities. SO2 : GBV and children's rights abuses are prevented/responded through foster care and support to reunification with biological family. SO3 : Vulnerable children are supported through recreational and psychosocial support activities in Child Friendly Spaces, provision of parenting sessions and life skills sessions. Activity is a continuation of previous CPiE project in Ouham prefecture. Cooperation with the Ministry of Social Welfare, Tearfund and War Child will be sought. Direct beneficiaries are vulnerable boys and girls, adolescent boys and girls, as well as their parents and caregivers in 5 communities of Batangafo District and Bouca sub-prefectures, in Ouham Prefecture. Moreover, community members as members of the RECOPE, Youth clubs, Parents committees, foster families, local service providers and Ministry of Social Welfare will be targeted. the NGO Tearfund will also benefit from capacity building on CPiE maintreaming in WASH and FSl programming. Revival/strenghtening of CP community structures and management of CFS. Training of community professionals. IDTR and case management of UASC, CAFAAGs, Child survivors of GBV and other vulnerable children. Support to interim care families. Like skills and parenting sessions.

Youth migrated from rural areas to Chengdu, is vulnerable. They are treated as illegal citizens, lacking the right for social services and education in Chengdu. To sustain themselves, they often have unsafe jobs. The project aims to enhance their economic and social security. Using the ‘Livelihood Advancement Business School’ (LABS) model, the first phase of the project started in December 2015 conducting a local market scan as basic input for market-driven vocational trainings and finally job placement. The current project started in March 2017 with an updated market scan, and will last 2,5 years. The implementing partner SHPASC and Plan International China provide the youngsters with Life Skills, vocational training and job coaching. An employer network and alumni network are built to support graduated youth. Rapid urbanization in China has resulted in 268.94 million rural migrant workers in 2013, of which 65.5% of them are new generation (born after 1980). Due to the significant urban and rural disparities and the concentration of economic development in the urban areas, migrating for work to cities has become the top choice of most youth, who leave or drop out from high schools, as employment opportunities in the rural areas are scarce and income from agricultural work is not appealing. 56.6% of the labor needed in urban cities requires technical and vocational training, but only 20% of the migrant youth has such experience. As a result, they are not able to acquire decent jobs, and are subject to limited employment opportunities that are seldom decently paid or the so called ‘three-D’ jobs (dirty, degrading and dangerous), such as construction laborers or miners where working conditions and labor protection are poor. The insecure employment situation faced by vulnerable youth leads to high job turnover, poor legal protection, lack of access to social security etc. and thus restricting them to limited life opportunities. According to the statistics released by the government, by the end of 2012, there are 1,940,000 migrant people (of which female population accounts for 46%) in Chengdu City, reaching to 18.65% of its total population. Migration and rapid urbanization present additional challenges related to urban poverty and vulnerability among unskilled young migrant people, particularly young migrant women. To address youth unemployment, Plan has developed a global youth economic empowerment program (YEE). A specific pathway is used, coming from previous employment projects in Asia: the Livelihood Advancement Business School (LABS) model. This model has eight steps: 1. Conducting a Market Scan to make sure that training will comply with local labor supply and demand, 2. Curriculum Development for market relevant training, 3. Mobilization and Application of the target group of vulnerable youngsters, 4. Induction and Life Skills training of participating youngsters aiming to get them familiar with the project and to build their self-confidence, 5. Technical Training of youngsters aiming to build their qualifications for a specific job, 6. Work Readiness Training to prepare the youth for the world of work, 7. Job Placement to guide the youngsters to decent jobs, and 8. Counselling and Post Placement Support to coach the graduated youth in their first 6 months in a job. A huge mismatch exists between the demand of the labor market and the skills training offered to migrant workers in China. Public and private vocational education and training institutions offer both long-term vocational education diploma courses and short-term skills training programs. As government provides large subsidies for vocational education and skills training of rural youth, it drives both public and private institutions to organize training based on what they can supply rather than to organize training based on labor market demand. Also sufficient practical skills training is limited; theoretical training is dominant. The mismatch between the vocational skills needed in the labor market and acquired through vocational training often results in unsatisfactory employment rate and employment conditions. Also surveys consistently show that employers are not satisfied with the skills of their new junior staff, whether academic or vocational; according to McKinsey research the main complaints are lack of relevant technical training and deficient soft skills. Life skills training and work readiness training are very weak in the Chinese vocational education system. Only few vocational training institutions are able to deliver systematic life skills training with the support of international organizations and NGOs. The training about work readiness is almost vacant. Therefore, students have limited knowledge about what they can expect in the workplace before employment. In most cases, migrant youth are not able to integrate into city life safely and smoothly. They will become marginalized in cities as well as in the countryside. The project will directly benefit 650 vulnerable young people migrated to Chengdy City (aged 16-29, of which at least 60% will be female youth) and their families (total 2,600 people); 8 staff of implementing partners; 3 vocational training institutions whose capacity will be built to replicate the LABS model; an employer network of at least 23 as youth friendly qualified employers; an alumni network with at least 390 members (60 % of graduates join the alumni network, and 60% of them are girls); local government authorities, Women’s Federations and Youth Leagues. Activities on employment opportunities: 1. Deliver a series of training for SHPASC on different topics such as operations of LABS model including market scan, institutional management, strategic planning and leadership, and working with/engaging vulnerable young women and men. 2. Conduct an update of the Market Scan on employment opportunities and associated skills in demand. 3. Adapt or renew short term vocational training curriculum and/or improve existing curriculum. 4. Mobilize and recruit vulnerable youth for the vocational training. 5. Deliver market-driven vocational training to the enrolled youth. 6. Sharpen Minimum Standards for Youth Friendly Employer. 7. Professionalize and gradually expand a youth and gender-friendly employer network of at least 23 qualified employers. 8. Support youth graduates to secure decent jobs, with a salary higher than the minimum salary level defined by local government, from preselected employers. Activities on transition from school to work: 1. Adapt life skills and work readiness curriculum. 2. Deliver training to teachers of vocational training institutions on life skill & work readiness curriculum. 3. Conduct life skills and work readiness training for enrolled young people. 4. Provide counselling and conduct post-placement services. 5. Establish Alumni network (with at least 60% of graduates being member) and build its capacity continuously. 6. Improve information sharing mechanism among vocational training institutions, trained youth, alumni and employers network to facilitate internships, job placements and post-placement services. Activities on knowledge management: 1. Post-placement information on graduated migrant youth is continuously tracked and analyzed by utilizing Direct Beneficiaries Monitoring System (DBMS) to track progress and results. 2. Localize and develop a LABS Model Guideline. By replicating the LABS model through government agencies, social organizations, vocational training institutions and academic institutions, the market relevance of vocational training is addressed, also for youth outside the direct target group. For the graduated migrant youth, the alumni groups will create continuous peer support and will therefore contribute to the sustainability of the project. Trained in market relevant skills and supported to get a first decent job, the trained migrant youth will earn a decent living and become financially more independent. With a focus on targeting migrant young women (at least 60% of the youngsters) social inclusion and gender equality are addressed.

It will further conduct awareness raising on Infant and Young Child Nutrition (IYCF), maternal nutrition, causes of malnutrition, early socio-emotional stimulation and child protection for caretakers and mothers. Insecurity related to Boko Haram violence and military counter operations continues to affect 26 million people living in North East Nigeria, with 14 million in need of humanitarian assistance, of which more than 50 % are children. Since March 2016 the estimated number of people facing extreme food and nutrition deficits has doubled to 5.8 million as a result of massive displacement, destruction of agricultural activity, lack of access to farmland and loss of livelihoods. Similarly, the armed conflict was destroyed and burned and has looted most health facilities. As a result of the conflict, a very high level of mortality and acute severe malnutrition and food insecurity has been reported. The project's main aim is to save the lives of under-five year old children and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs), suffering from acute malnutrition through comprehensive nutrition (CMAM & IYCF) and psychosocial support intervention. Beyond providing life-saving services by means of treating MAM and SAM cases, the project will be building capacity of health offices to enable them to effectively treat cases of acute malnutrition independently in the future. On-the-job training will further increase the ability of health staff to deliver the appropriate services after the has ended. Special focus will be on creating ownership among health professionals. They will play a central role in community mobilization and linking target beneficiaries with the routine health services - ensuring future sustainability. The primary final beneficiaries are children under the age of five, pregnant and lactating mothers and health workers. Secondary beneficiaries are the wider community. Vulnerable HHs will be provided with unconditional cash transfers. MUAC screening to identify children and PLW with SAM, MAM or at risk will be conducted. Children will be treated with SAM at OTPs. Children will be treated with SAM at SC. Children and PLW will be enrolled in supplementary feeding programme. Children with or at risk of MAM/SAM will be enrolled in deworming programmes. Malnourished children will be provided with WASH essentials. Community is will be provided with key messages on IYCF, causes of malnutrition, hygiene/sanitation and etc. Volunteer Lead Mothers (incl. PLWs) will be enrolled in Care Groups to improve IYCF practices, hygiene and early stimulation. Volunteer Lead Mother will be provided with training on IYCF and ECD. Plan staff and government health workers will be provided with a basic and refresher training on SAM management and IYCF. Community volunteers will receive a training on nutrition. Health Centers will be supported in managing SAM/MAM cases. Plan nutrition staff and government health workers will be trained on CPiE, socio-emotional stimulation, CF practices and ECD. People who need emergency mental health care will be identified and refer them to PSS service providers. OTP/SC sites will be equipped with playing materials. In order to ensure sustainability of this project, an important focus will be on capacity building of health institutions in managing acute malnutrition. The health professionals will be trained and facilities will be equipped with necessary equipment and supplies in order to provide a sustainable, long term service. In addition, a very strong emphasis will be given on education and awareness-raising to improve child care and feeding practices and reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in the future. The project will be linked to the existing primary health care activities and collaborate with partners who are working in the areas of implementation in order to bring permanent change in the community. All the activities will be handed over to the government offices, mainly to the state and LGA health offices, for its continuity at the end of the project. All materials and equipment purchased under this project will be transferred to the LGA offices to sustain the services. Any unused commodity inputs will also be handed over to concerned government structure to be distributed to needy beneficiaries.

The second aspect of this project aims to provide schools and students with clean drinking water and basic sanitation. The livelihood of the communities in the project areas, mainly depend on pastoralists and semi-sedentary pastoralists mode of production, with cattle rearing that constitutes the larger portion of the household herd. Agro-pastoralists mainly grow minor crops. The recurrent drought in previous consecutive seasons, have resulted in crop failure, loss of livestock and deteriorated livestock productivity, exacerbated degradation of natural resources and depleted water sources and pastures. This further leads to chronic food insecurity at household and community levels. The significant yield failure in targeted districts has been linked to poor and erratic rain patterns in 2015 fuelled by El Niño and IOD and has negatively impacted the food security of the target population, increasing malnutrition among children under five and pregnant and lactating women. PLWs and children are the most affected segments of the community. The drought has directly affected the employability and household income of the target population. Vulnerable households have employed negative coping strategies that include distressed asset sales, consumption of immature seeds, indebtedness, tree sales, labour migration, withdrawal of children from school and increased firewood and charcoal collection and sales. Withdrawal of children from school has resulted in high increase of child labour and make the children face lack of protection from any harm that affect their lives. According to school Water and Sanitation assessment of Dec. 2016. about 76% of schools in emergency affected areas are without water. Continuing with school in a drought situation without access to save water is very difficult as children get thirsty, become tired and lose concentration. This forces them to miss classes and drop out the school. Another problem is that schools close, whenever mass migration takes place to areas with access to water, leaving the poorest people who can't afford to migrate without access to schools Through fodder provision, vet facility and veterinary drug provision to vulnerable households through vet clinics, will improve the availability of fodder and health condition of livestock and reduces deaths of livestock due to drought-induced livestock diseases. The promotion of traditional community managed pasture enclosures through cash for work has two main positive outcomes: the participating households will generate an income and be enabled to protect their assets and community assets will be created to enhance pasture and livestock productivity. Government sector staff in charge of Disaster Risk Reduction will be trained to strengthen their services, in order to improve the Early Warning Signs and enable communities to better prepare for disasters like the current drought. Schools in the targeted areas will be provided with safe water and children will be trained in hygiene and sanitation practices, which will prevent them from contracting potential Water and Sanitation related diseases like diarrhoea. The Water and Sanitation intervention will be complemented by building the capacity of local government and community institutions in order to build resilience and sustainability of the local population. With regards to the nutrition component, malnourished children and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) will receive food via a Targeted Supplementary Food Programme (TSFP) and health education will be provided to caretakers of under five children and PLWs. Livelihood = total 15,205 (male 9,092 and female 6113) Water and Sanitation = total 10,707 (male 5,684 and female 5,023) Nutrition = total 8657 (4352 beneficiaries received food via the Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programme and 4305 beneficiaries were trained in health education) Supplementary livestock feeding and vouchers for veterinary services will be distributed to vulnerable rural households, particularly female and child headed households and households with adolescent girls. Veterinary facilities will be equipped with supplies and equipment to provide veterinary services. Vet technicians and community livestock health workers will be trained on improved livestock health management. Kebele/District DDR task force members and sector offices will be trained on gender and child protection integrated Early Warning Signal (EWS), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) concept and Drought Cycle Management (DCM). Community managed pasture enclosures (Kallos) will be managed. Schools and their students will be supplied with safe water through water trucking. Schools will be equipped with a water tanker. School Water and Sanitation committees trained on school Water and Sanitation. Schools will be supplied with bathing soap for hand washing practices. Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) programming will support food insecure beneficiaries. This programme will include a one day training of 70 female Food Distribution Agents (FDAs). Health education will be given to 4305 (155 Males and 4,150 Females) caretakers of under five children and PLWs. Interventions under this project have been designed, and will be implemented, in collaboration with key stakeholders and within existing government structures to ensure alignment, compliance to national strategic and response plans, and integration into broader response programs to avoid an abrupt end to services once the project is completed. Due to the pressing needs in Ethiopia, and in Oromia Region specifically, Plan will, as part of its strategic plan for the country, remain active in Oromia beyond the duration of this project and will keep itself informed on the changing Water and Sanitation and Food Security Livelihoods needs. To ensure sustainability of the interventions, the project will build the capacities of existing structures and put in place systems for monitoring and follow up. It builds on existing capacities and structures within the beneficiary population to strengthen ownership of the process and recognize meaningful participation of the beneficiaries in the planning, monitoring and evaluation process. The intervention will encourage the participation of the beneficiary community at large and relevant government and other partners to contribute towards emergency needs as well as resilience building of the affected people. Building the capacity of communities as well as government partners is an integral part of the project activity that pave the way for transferring the responsibilities to the primary duty bearer.

As a response, this project was implemented from March 7th 2017 to February 28th 2018 by Plan International in Pageri County. It supported emergency food for the most vulnerable households and helped communities rebuilding their (farming) livelihood, while considering the high needs of children, especially adolescent girls, who are more at risk in times of crisis. It focuses on providing children in school with meals as well as adolescent girls with Take Home Rations to keep them in school. Parents and community members will benefit from Cash for Work activities, rehabilitating the WASH facilities in schools, or receive training and agricultural seeds and tools for farming. Hygiene kits and sensitization will be done in school to increase nutritional intake. Food insecurity situation in South Sudan is still severe and requires more attention and support. The situation is expected to deteriorate further due to the current lean period and ongoing insecurity, which will continue to hinder the free movement of the population to trade and cultivate their crops. Last year limited rainfall in some part of the South of Eastern Equatoria had already negatively affected agricultural production and crops yield, this year many people were reportedly affected by the drought situation in these locations or counties including Pageri / Nimule where the project is being implemented. Current economic crisis that South Sudan is experiencing is a major challenge to people in improving their livelihoods. Food commodities shortages and sky rocketing prices in the markets make life more difficult, especially for the vulnerable population. Moreover, it was assessed that 5 schools do not have the proper WASH facilities (latrines, hand washing facilities, water pumps or wells) as recommended in the SPHERE and INEE standards, which prevents children, especially adolescent girls from attending school or limits their time in school. (especially during their menstruation). School feeding: - Improve access to food by distributing food parcels (Take Home Rations) and meals at schools within the school feeding programme. - Improve longer term access to food by distributing drought-resistant seeds and agricultural tools and trainings for the upcoming harvest season. - Provide trainings to improve eating habits. WASH: - Improve access to clean and safe water by rehabilitating water, sanitation an hygiene facilities in schools alongside the school feeding programme. - Improve hygiene by distributing hygiene kits to girls and female teachers. 3,173 school age children (1,656 boys and 1,517 girls) benefitting from school meals and WASH improvements 750 girls benefitting from Take Home Rations 857 individuals (496 female, 361 male) participating in Cash for Work activities 1,071 HH (557 HH are female headed Households) = 6,426 individuals 214 HH representatives (107 female and 107 male) 571 parents trained (291 female and 280 male) 17 female and 71 male teachers School going children are provided with 1 nutritious Corn Soja Blend meal a day at school, for 1 semester. Most vulnerable households are provided with food through Take Home Food rations for school going adolescent girls for 4 months. Individuals from most vulnerable households are enrolled in Cash for work activities to rehabilitate schools in the frame of the school feeding program (kitchen, storeroom, latrines, handwashing points, wells, fencing, etc.) Most vulnerable households are provided with drought resistant seeds and agricultural inputs, with focus on short season crops. Most vulnerable households are trained in climate-smart agriculture. Parents of school going children will be trained on nutrition, food groups and hygiene in order to improve their children dietary intake. Gender segregated latrines, hand washing points and wells are rehabilitated/build in schools in line with School feeding program. Lifesaving hygiene and dignity kits are distributed to most vulnerable boys, girls and female teachers. Timely and appropriate awareness raising sessions provided to teachers (ToT) in the targeted communities on best practices for sanitation, hygiene and child protection. Food support ends end of February, and we do not know if the community will be able to support the costs for school feeding. Mobilization of the PAT and parents will be very important, but political, economic and weather constraints in South Sudan will make it difficult. We are looking into partnering with WFP to maintain school feeding in the schools including the Take Home Rations. For agriculture, support in seeds and tools should ensure households to make a livelihood.

This project was implemented by Plan International Zimbabwe, and targeted vulnerable food insecure households and malnourished children at schools in rural Midlands in Zimbabwe. This region had the 3rd highest number of food insecure people (633,520) during the hunger peak and the 2nd highest Severe Acute Malnutrition prevalence for children <5 (ZimVAC 2016). The school feeding program of the Ministry of Education is under-resourced in rural Midlands, which affects school attendance and consequently educational outcomes. Inflation and diminishing purchasing power limit vulnerable farmers’ capacity to access inputs and services in preparation for the coming agricultural season (HRP 2016). As per Plan’s assessment, due to the focus on food acquisition, efforts to focus on the productive assets were minimized in rural Midlands. Hence early recovery of community productive assets will be included in our response. The present food insecurity (IPC Phase 3) in Zimbabwe is a cumulative effect of two consecutive poor agricultural seasons; in 2014/15 and the El Niño induced drought conditions affecting the 2015/2016 harvesting season. The Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) 2016 Rural Livelihoods Assessment shows that 4.1 million people require food assistance (42% of the population) during the peak food insecure period from Jan – March 2017 (HRP 2016). Households at high risk of food insecurity and malnutrition include child and female headed households, households with people living with HIV/AIDS, and labor constrained households (ZimVAC 2016). Zimbabwe’s food insecurity is expected to last until March 2017 when main annual harvesting period (April-July period) is upcoming. However, it is expected that vulnerable households will take longer to recover and require support after the lean season; their food insecurity situation will persist for a period of 10-12 months (HNO 2016). As per HRP 2016, early recovery activities are recommended as vital in deriving the response and building resilience to ongoing stresses and shocks. OBJECTIVE 1: Emergency food assistance. Food security will be enhanced through mobile cash transfers for the most food insecure households (markets are functioning). OBJECTIVE 2: Strengthening community resilience, through early recovery interventions in agriculture and food and nutrition security relevant assets. Community resilience will be strengthened through the rehabilitation of community productive assets, directly supporting improved production in the post-harvest period. The project will target 6250 food insecure people in rural Kwekwe (63% women). Transparent selection criteria will be used to ensure effective targeting of the most vulnerable households, characterized by female and child headed households, orphans, vulnerable children, people living with disability& high levels of poverty resulting is depleted livelihood assets.Beneficiary selection criteria will be informed by food security and child protection indicators including variables as household production, stocks, livestock ownership, arable land for cultivation, income source, casual labour availability, women, elderly, child headed households. 2500 children (3-10 years) enrolled in the 10 most affected schools will benefit from school feeding. 200 labour constrained households will benefit from the rehabilitated community assets ensuring that crop production supports their food and nutrition requirements.

Plan supports the local government by implementing a cash transfer program combined with a community based emergency nutrition program. The project will further train, mentor and supervise health workers and volunteers on Infant and Young Children Feeding practices, maternal nutrition, child-friendly practices and child rights, socio-emotional stimulation and parental care. Educate parents and caretakers on IYCF, maternal nutrition, socio-emotional stimulation and child protection, through peer-to-peer education (care groups), practical sessions (cooking demonstrations) and awareness raising sessions. In the Northeast, the conflict remains to have a huge impact on agriculture because of the large-scale population displacement and the restrictions imposed on agricultural activities, and is likely to cause ever-worsening food security outcomes. Consequently, about 4.7 million people in the Northeast are in the critical food insecurity situations (IPC 3 – 5). Over 1 million people (1.099.000 to be exact) or 19% of the population in Borno state, are in emergency food insecurity situation (IPC phase 4) and 38,000 in Famine (IPC phase 5) levels of food insecurity. The scale of the population movement is worsening the food security: returning refugees and IDPs are adding to the strain on both camps and host communities and limited access to livelihood opportunities reduces purchasing power and access to food. The displaced population of Borno have been unable to pursue agriculture, as most host communities have restricted agricultural activities to land close to IDP settlements, for fear of being killed or kidnapped by Boko Haram. The overall objective of this acute food security response is to save lives and prevent further suffering for the most vulnerable people suffering from emergency food insecurity (IPC 4). Based on the needs/gap analysis, the capacity and expertise to respond on the ground, Plan will distribute unconditional cash transfers to over 80.000 beneficiaries. In addition to this Plan will provide emergency assistance to under-five year old children and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs), suffering from acute malnutrition through comprehensive nutrition (CMAM & IYCF) and psychosocial support intervention. The primary final beneficiaries are children under the age of five and pregnant and lactating mothers. The secondary beneficiaries are wider community. Meet emergency food needs of vulnerable people by distribution of cash transfers to over 80.000 beneficiaries. Improve equitable access to quality life-saving services for management of acute malnutrition for children (boys and girls 6 - 59 months) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). This will be done by screening children under the age of 5 on malnutrition and admitting those diagnosed with MAM or SAM. Promote access to services preventing under-nutrition, by counselling PLWs and caregivers and sensitize the wider community on IYCF in emergencies. In addition to this staff will be trained on community-based nutrition programs. In order to ensure sustainability of this project, a very strong emphasis will be given on education and awareness-raising of the community to improve child care and feeding practices and reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in the future. The project will be linked to the existing primary health care activities and collaborate with partners who are working in the areas of implementation in order to bring permanent change in the community. All the activities will be handed over to the government offices, mainly to the state and LGA health offices, for its continuity at the end of the project.

By changing the attitude of community members and other key persons and informing adolescent girls and boys, this project empowers adolescents to stand up for their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through education and economic empowerment, supported by the relevant legislation and policies, the project gives alternatives beyond EM, teenage pregnancies and FGM/C. The project will be implemented between 2016 and 2020 by Plan International Netherlands, together with partners Amref, Rutgers, Choice, KIT and the Netherlands’ Embassies in the relevant countries. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Indonesia and Pakistan. The programme has a specific joint budget for learning & linking and research to support programme development and assessing and justifying the Theory of Change. Problem description Millions of adolescent girls in developing countries suffer major right violations and have limited future perspectives because of child marriages (CM), teenage pregnancies (TP) and Female Genital Mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). These issues have common root causes, are mutually reinforcing and require a joint approach. CM, FGM/C & TP are human rights violations, and are manifestations of deeply rooted gender inequality and social norms, poverty and limited economic perspectives, inadequate access to (comprehensive sexuality) education and Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (ASRHR) services, and voiceless youth. CM, FGM/C & TP are interrelated issues that involve high health risks and all human rights violations of adolescent girls, and impede socio-economic development in a great number of developing countries. Following lessons learnt from current programmes of the Yes I Do Alliance partners, the Yes I Do Alliance will address the issues of CM, FGM/C & TP with a programme, applying a mix of intervention strategies adapted to the specific contexts of the target countries: Ethopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Pakistan and Indonesia. Project background The Yes I Do alliance has selected seven focus countries, namely Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Pakistan and Indonesia. The main criteria for selection were: prevalence of Child Marriage and/or FGM/C and/ or Teenage Pregnancies; track record and current programmes that the Yes I Do programme can build on; number of alliance members that work in the country, and intended programmes of other alliances. Selection criteria also included ranking on the gender inequality index and secondary education rates for girls and boys as well as poverty rates and levels of adolescent sexual and reproductive health services and information. Although communities in the YES I DO countries often seem to disapprove of CM in practice parents in rural settings often marry off their daughters before a girl is 18. Despite the fact that communities are often knowledgeable about marriage laws that criminalizes underage marriages, child marriages still take place. CM and TP are interlinked and major contributing factors for young girls to drop out of school. In three YES I DO countries FGM/C is strongly supported by social norms, customs and traditions and also practiced. End beneficiaires Girls in seven countries in general between 10 - 20 years of age. Boys and men will also be included as part of the project interventions. Project plan The Alliance in the Netherlands consists of 5 organisations that combine their experience and expertise to jointly implement the programme. Plan Nederland is the lead organisation and provides experitise on girls rights and CM and has a strong community based approach. Amref has a track record on CM and FGM/C, they work with alternatives for FGM/C (alternative rites of passage). CHOICE partners implement Meaningful Youth Participation (MYP) in programmes and organisations, CHOICE also works on youth led advocacy. KIT is a strong research partner on adolescent SRHR and provides academic experts on SRHR. Rutgers is a renowned SRHR expert / advocacy organization. In the programme they roll out Comprehensive Sexuality Education and egaging men and boys by using a gender transformative approach (GTA). The programme works with a Theory of Change which has been contextualized per country. The country alliances jointly implement the contextualized ToC. Each country has a local Alliance with a dedicated lead organization , a steering committee and operational teams. The YIDA has a full M&E Plan including indicator framework, which has been adjusted for each country. The research component of YIDA investigates the interlinkages between CM, TP and FGM/C and looks at the effectiveness of the intervention strategies. To find out what works, how and why, to prevent or mitigate the impact of CM, TP and FGM/C, mixed-methods research containing a baseline, midline and endline will be carried out. Operational research studies are conducted in all countries to assess assumptions and study knowledge gaps and research themes. In the countries and in the Netherlands, linking and learning takes place on subjects such as MYP, GTA or Economic Empowerment. Porgramme management is supported by the YIDA Desk. The Desk ensures consistency and good partnership and is staffed by the Alliance Coordinator, the M&E Coordinator(s), Finance-Administrative Officer and Communication Officer. Sustainability Sustainability of the programme is ensured by setting up strong in-country alliances and where possible build on existing prgrammes. The programme in the countries have strong links to other programmes and networks working on CM, TP and |FGM/C. By implementing (operational) research and linking and learning the YIDA builds the capacity of partners both in the Netherlands and in the 7 YES I DO countries on CM, TP and FGM/C.

This practice is one of the biggest violations of girls’ rights and it also poses a serious risk to their health. This project will strengthen the partnership between the State, NGOs and local communities by synergising actions and sustainably and effectively promoting the human rights of women and girls in Mali. The project is being implemented by Plan International Mali in 70 villages and will adopt a community approach with a strong component of transfer of responsibilities and skills to municipalities and community leaders. The role of partner organisations of the previous phase will change from being leading actresses of the sensitization to a role of facilitator of the transfer of the fight to the communities themselves. Successful actions of the previous phase will be upscaled. Project duration is over a period of 24 months until July 2019. Mali is a country that is deeply rooted in traditions, one of which is Female Genital Mutilation (FGM/C). This practice is one of the biggest violations of girls’ rights and it also poses a serious risk to their health. This project will strengthen the partnership between the State, NGOs and local communities by synergising actions and sustainably and effectively promoting the human rights of women and children in Mali. The project is being implemented by Plan Mali in 70 villages in the 6 communes in Mali. The project runs from 1 July 2017 to July 2019. FGM/C involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other types of injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is viewed as a traditional practice, despite it being very painful and risky for the health of girls and women. It can also cause many complications during menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, and can even sometimes result in death. FGM/C is a violation of human rights and an extreme form of violence and discrimination against young women. Although FGM/C is more or less against the law in Mali,- although not explicitly in the criminal law- , in rural areas of the country there are insufficient resources and support to enforce the law. Furthermore, the infrastructure to protect girls (and boys) from violence is weak. Many people in Mali want to continue the practice of FGM/C. This attitude, together with a high FGM/C prevalence in various regions of the country, poses a significant challenge in the fight against this harmful practice. Although government efforts have been made to improve the legal and social status of women, between 89 and 94 per cent of girls in Mali are still subjected to FGM/C. Furthermore, women there are still legally disadvantaged by the current family law (Code de la Family To eliminate FGM/C, the social norms and values that fuel it must be changed. Furthermore, legislation against FGM/C must be improved and enforced. The evaluation of the previous phase showed that the practice of excision is not zero in the villages having officially declared the abandonment of the practice and reasons for this state of affairs (resistance to traditional authority or made of migration etc.)have to be identified. Local vigilance committees with the customary and communal authorities will be established to advise and reinforce the application of the abandonment measures. This will create a synergy between the traditional customary tradition of village chiefs and the communal authority of local elected representatives. Sensitization for behavioral change will use diverse channels, ranging from traditional local channels to modern channels such as community radio and television. In addition, the approach based on capacity building of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and children's organizations to raise awareness among their peers on the themes of excision and child marriage that have been proven during the previous phase will be continued under the auspices of local authorities. Furthermore the project will continue to advocate with national authorities for the adoption of legislation to ban the practice of FGC and child marriage at the country level. Up until 2006 the fight against FGM/C was part of an integrated reproductive health and HIV/AIDS/family planning/FGM programme. This project, which has a specific focus on FGM/C, has evolved from that programme. Since 2006, Plan Mali has extended the interventions that were part of the original programme in five regions with 15 national NGOs in over 400 villages, jointly funded by several European Plan offices. The programme has regularly adjusted its strategies, based upon mid-term reviews and evaluations during the first phase. The programme is now in its third phase and including more the Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights issues, as the root causes of FGM are about how sexuality of girls and women is seen and accepted in society. Focus will be on changing the negative social norms. In addition to sensitization and advocacy for change, the project will provide medical and psychosocial care for women and girls who are victims of the complications of child marriage and female circumcision. Finally, the project will have a social reintegration component of girls and women victims of excision and marriage of children including obstetric fistula carriers through the financing of group income generating activities (EPC) or individual. The project is implemented in the 2 regions Koulikoro and Ségou targeting 6 communities with a total of 70 villages. Total population of this villages is 109 748. Specific target group are the 13 799 girls living in these villages Training of 140 community and religious leaders about the consequences of FGM/C, human and women’s rights and gender based violence -Training of 140 members of CBO’s and 60 members of child organisations about the consequences of FGM/C, human and women’s rights and gender based violence -training of 140 members of the vigilance committees on GBV and reporting of cases to the authorities -establishment of new village committees to abandon the harmful practices -training of 140 members of the village committees about the consequences of FGM/C, human and women’s rights and gender based violence -annual information and sensitization meetings for the 70 villages -70 action plans drafted for the 70 CBO’s and 30 action plans for the Child Organisations -discussion groups organised -video presentations organised -30 broadcasting programmes developed on harmful practices and child marriage -medical and psycho social support to 30 victims on the complications of FGM/C -Cash Transfer and start fund for income generating activities for 15 women / girls who are victims of FGM/C -ceremonies to abandon FGM/C -Participation in workshop about drafting the Law against FGM/C and GBV -Participation in meeting with National Committee to follow up the adoption of the law against FGM/C de suivi du processus d’adoption de l’avant-projet de loi -regular meeting with district on the progress of the programme -supervision missions By changing social norms, this project is driving a permanent change in the way people see FGM/C. Once social norms in a community change, that change is usually irreversible, meaning that, thanks to this project, FGM/C prevalence rates will continue to drop after it has ended. By connecting and strengthening civil society organisations the project is installing structures that will remain in place after its completion. This will help the relevant organisations to jointly influence change at governorate and national levels and give girls and young women a point of entry where they can stand up for their rights. The project is also strengthening the linkages between the various types of change makers. This will improve cooperation in stopping FGM/C and give girls and young women access to important actors at local, state/district and even national levels. Once they have been adopted, specific legislation and policies on FGM/C will continue to be effective.

Although there are job opportunities, young people often are not in education, employment and/or trainings. Saksham III follows the Saksham project launched in 2010 which supported disadvantaged youth (18-35 year) especially young women (60%) in India, to enable them to realise their dreams by equipping them with essential life and market oriented vocational skills. In this project - Saksham III - 2,500 young people (18 –29 years, 60% women) from disadvantaged communities in Delhi, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh will be enrolled in job-oriented vocational training enabling young people to access decent employment. Additionally the project will train 750 youths (18 –35 years -60% women) in entrepreneurship, enabling them to become self-employed. The project is implemented by Plan International India. It started in July 2017 and will end in July 2020. India is supposed to be the youngest nation in the world by 2020 with a population of 74 million of young people in age group of 15 to 24 years. Various reports suggest that there are not enough opportunities for market oriented skills training to fulfil the expectations of all the young women and men after they complete their basic school education. On the other hand only 2.3% of India’s total workforce has undergone formal skill training. Although there are job opportunities, these jobs are at the cusp of formal and non-formal, therefore there are not often undertaken. Consequently, the number of young people who are not in education, employment and trainings (NEET) is gradually increasing. And the irony is that in the urban space exists huge demand for skilled personnel from the emerging markets, which remains unfulfilled. Analysts believe that the gap between the high demand from the market for skilled employees and fewer number of skilled youth to be employed on these jobs can be attributed primarily to the current delivery model for skill development in India - through vocational training centres set up either by government, NGOs or private businesses. This existing model presents the challenge not to be able to scale up in next few years to fulfil the rapidly growing demand for skilling. Under renewed priorities of government, there is strong thrust by government on fostering entrepreneurship and skill development. Skill mission focus of provide conducive skill development ecosystem across country to help young people acquire employable skills. However due to focus on input based learning rather outcome driven education, employability among the youth is very poor. As per industry estimates only 30% of such graduates are employable. The overall objective of the project is that young people from disadvantaged youth living in urban and rural areas have gained market oriented vocational employment and entrepreneurship skills to be economically empowered. The project will use the following key strategies: • Job Oriented Vocational Training (JOVT): This refers to all processes undertaken in project to provide youth access to job oriented vocational training with formal jobs. • Vocational Training Entrepreneurship Promotion (VTEP). This refers to all processes and trainings undertaken to provide women and men access to vocational training for entrepreneurship promotion (VTEP) interchangeably referred as self-employment. Self-employment is precursor to entrepreneurship. The second strategy is about providing entrepreneurship training to youth. Youth, after training, get self-employed first and move towards becoming entrepreneurs thereafter. • Decent Employment: Youth will be provided employment in decent jobs. This focusses on enabling environment, employee rights, social security and freedom of expression for youth. The implementation of these strategies will consider: • Labour market study to identify potential training trades and employment opportunities • Awareness generation and youth and community mobilisation. • Vocational training for employment and entrepreneurship promotion which includes screening & selection, self-assessment (project work, project files etc.), training content based assessment). • Training delivery with life skill, computers, workplace communication and financial literacy. • On-the-job training Apprenticeship and internships • Job-placement and self-employment • Follow-up with youth to provide post set-up/ placement support to ensure retention. • Gender Mainstreaming will be the key principle and guiding strategy across all work undertaken. The project until date has focussed on developing the project based on the market/job oriented vocational training pathways. Project adopted a three-party model wherein field (NGO partners responsible to youth mobilisation and follow-up) and training partners (training partners responsible for training and placement) were engaged for mobilisation and training processes respectively, Plan engaged with 6 local level grassroots organizations as field partners and 3 training partners. The thrust remained on mobilisation of youth, making community and youth aware about new market employment opportunities, and establish community based vocational training centres. Increasing the training opportunities for girls was one of the key component that is why work around gender sensitization was integrated in the project. Later the project included vocational training for entrepreneurship promotion pathways as one of approaches. New targets areas were included, new partnerships were forged. Components of financial literacy were also included in the project. The trainings included skill and entrepreneurship development training that provide the scope for the youth to set-up self-employment units on viable trades and businesses. This phase also marked development of various crucial documents for process standardisation on gender mainstreaming, job oriented and entrepreneurship program development, standard operating procedures, market scan, monitoring and evaluation framework, and Saksham operating procedures. Active alumni participation was also integrated in the project. The project will focus on youths in the age of 18 – 29 years (60% women) from disadvantaged communities of target areas in Delhi, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh in India who have less opportunity compared to their peers because they face social, economic and/or geographic obstacles, educational difficulties and/or cultural differences. The project will be rolled out for three years with yearly deliverables and key performance indicators in place. It is believed that more areas could be added in the projects subsequently depending on need analysis and potential. The project will have year-by-year budgeting of training 3.250 youth for next three years. The project will accordingly be up scaled as per the needs identified while implementing the project. The project will consider the following activities: 1. Mobilise NEET youth in urban slums to join Saksham program • Street corner meetings to invite NEET youth to join Saksham • Engage parents to support girls and boys enrolment • Community advertisements and kiosks to promote awareness on Saksham and its advantages; • Promote alumni as role models to motivate and invite youth to join 2. Test aptitude of youth for specific vocational courses and counselling • Analyse personal, educational and family information about youth who have shown interest; • Share summary of courses on offer and opportunities; • Test aptitude of youth for the courses on offer; (to help understand potential to set-up self-employment unit and gainful employment) • Counselling of youth to provide complete information on events/ activities to follow 3. Market oriented vocational skills trainings (the trainings under the project are not gender specific number of girls have joined retail marketing, and IT based jobs, whereas boys have opted for hospitality trade) • Market scan at regular intervals to determine skills requirement of market/employers • Vocational training as per trade • curriculum facilitated by specialist VT trainers; • English language and basic computer skills trainings (in JOVT); • Monthly parents, teacher and trainee meetings to assess learning progress 4. Gender equality and soft skills trainings • Gender awareness training by sector experts; • Guide youth understand gender relations at personal, community and work spaces. • Life skills, personal hygiene Plan works together in partnerships with the following organizations in order to sustain changes and assets developed within the timeline of the project: a) Local grassroots NGOs will support with recruitment and provide post-placement and tracking support to youth to be retained on the job and succeed in life. After the project, experience gained will improve and increase the effectiveness of the intervention of these organisations. b) Improved curricula developed including soft/life skills and gender equality will enhance the support provide by training partners to prepare youth for job placement. As the training curriculum is harmonized with the accepted standards as laid down by the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC), it will allow the use of the curriculum in other training centres than the ones involved directly in the project. ICT assets developed under Saksham will lead and guide all youth economic empowerment work across Plan India. The proposed interventions envisage application of ICT as enabler for maximizing the reach of the program to the most deserving youth from disadvantaged families as well as to bring consistency in its curriculum which is designed as per Occupational standards of NCVT and NSDC in India. From the perspective of youth, the interventions proposed will address the skill development needs of youth providing them an opportunity to become part of the formal economy. The project will inculcate confidence and solidarity in young girls preparing them to positively respond to any safety and gender equality concerns that hinder their mobility to their workplace. Income generated through job and self-employment will enable girls and women to spend money on recreational activities, invest in education of children or spend for higher education. Also, young women will take active part in the family affairs and will improve in the decision making capabilities too. With the entrepreneurship skills development and start of new businesses, the project will contribute to the government policy changes related to “Made in India”, ease of doing business, small and medium enterprise promotion, digital India, funding of start-ups, easy loans for young entrepreneurs is propelling job creation in both urban and rural areas.

The programme is led by the Netherlands WASH SDG Consortium and is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS)/Inclusive Green Growth (IGG) department. It is built on three core strategic objectives: increase demand for improved WASH facilities and practices; improve the quality of service provision; and improve governance of the sector. In addition, gender and social inclusion and climate vulnerability and resilience are integrated throughout. Plan International Netherlands is implementing the programme in 5 countries: Indonesia, Nepal, Ethiopia, Zambia and Uganda. The programme started in July 2017 and will run untill the end of 2022. The WASH SDG sub-programme of Plan International aims to sustainably improve access to, and use of, safe drinking water for at least 73,500 people sanitation for at least 540,300 people and improve the hygiene behaviours of 723,000 people before the end of 2022 in Ethiopia, Indonesia, Nepal, Uganda and Zambia. The WASH SDG Programme specifically targets the poorest of the poor, women, girls and people with a disability in the cities and rural areas Plan is working. In 2017, 2.1 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services and 4.5 billion people lack safely managed sanitation services. Unsafe hygiene practices are widespread, compounding the effects on people’s health. Access to safe water and sanitation and sound management of freshwater ecosystems are essential to human health; environmental sustainability and economic prosperity. The 2030 agenda for sustainable development established WASH as a priority, embodied in sustainable development goal (SDG) 6 that has the aim to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, leaving no one behind. Women and girls carry most of the burden of inadequate WASH facilities and services. Just like men, women have knowledge on how and where facilities can be constructed best and how these facilities and services can be managed best, but women have less access on the decision making and profits of it. For this reason the equal participation of women and girls, and building their capacity, within any WASH programme is crucial to attain sustainable results. Within the Netherlands WASH SDG consortium programme women, girls and boys and men will be involved equally in the planning and implementation of our WASH interventions. WASH facilities will be gender sensitive and personal hygiene, such as menstrual hygiene management will be part of in our project activities. (Young) women will be trained to become entrepreneurs in the WASH sector and access to credit for women will be facilitated. The programme will go beyond equal participation and implement a gender transformative approach with the aim to improve power balance between men and women. The WASH SDG consortium programme-level Theory of Change (ToC) was developed and validated in early 2017. As established in the proposal approved by DGIS, the WASH SDG programme is built on the assumption that sustainable and equitable use of WASH by all can be achieved in a locality through: • improved behaviour change interventions that lead to increased demand for improved WASH facilities and practices • improved WASH service provision that leads to increased availability and affordability of WASH products and services • strengthened WASH governance and institutional framework that leads to governments enabling efficient and effective delivery of inclusive and sustainable WASH services. In order for WASH to be sustainable and equitable, the programme also assumes that two additional approaches should be endorsed and integrated transversally: • gender transformative and socially inclusive WASH • climate resilient WASH services. Per sub-programme context specific ToC have been developed. The WASH SDG Programme started with an inception phase on the 1st of July 2017 Until the 30th of June 2018. Implementation started on the 1st of July 2018 and will run until the 30th of September 2022 after which the end evaluation will be conducted and the programme closed on the 31st of December 2022. To guarantee sustainability of our interventions, the consortium incorporates the following principles in our approach: Financial sustainability means that continuity in the delivery of products and services related to WASH is assured, because the activities are locally financed (e.g. taxes, local fees, local credit products). Institutional sustainability means that WASH systems, institutions, policies and procedures at the local level are functional and meet the demand of users of WASH services. WASH stakeholders are clear on their own roles, tasks and responsibilities, are capable of fulfilling these roles effectively and are transparent to each other. WASH stakeholders work together in the WASH chain through a multi-stakeholder approach. The element of environmental sustainability implies placing WASH interventions in the wider context of the natural environment and implementing an approach of integrated and sustainable management of water and waste(-water) flows and resources, including the adaptation to climate change. Technical sustainability of WASH services is reached when the technology or hardware needed for continuous services is maintained, repaired and replaced by local people and it is not depleting the (natural) resources on which it depends for its functioning. Social sustainability refers to ensuring that the appropriate social conditions and prerequisites are realized and sustained so the current and future society is able to create healthy and liveable communities. Social sustainable intervention is demand-driven, inclusive (equality), gender equal, culturally sensitive and needs-based.

In 3 years, disadvantaged youth completed life skills, market-driven vocational/technical and business trainings. 60% of them entered decent employment - either in a job or by establishing/strengthening their own enterprise. This ensured future economic security for themselves and their families. The programme is supported by Plan’s Regional Office of the Americas (ROA) through technical assistance, evidence gathering support and (academic) research coordination. With youth in Latin America accounting for nearly one third of the population, they should be a major driver of regional economic growth. However, decent job opportunities remain inaccessible for large numbers of young underprivileged people, maintaining the cycle of poverty. The most important obstacles for inserting these youth into the labour market are their lack of professional qualifications and the requirement of prior experience. Young women face additional hurdles such as persistent gender stereotypes, discriminatory practices and adolescent pregnancy. Social instable situations in the target areas in Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador are characterized by armed conflict, social and gender-based violence, displacement, over-population, lack of formal jobs and weak local economies. This context limits business and entrepreneurial opportunities, fuelling many youth to engage in illicit activities. The project consists of three components that mutually reinforce each other: Component 1: Private Sector Engagement and Youth Employment Enabler Networks: consists of the creation of shared value implementation approaches and partnerships (so called Smart Business Alliance) with the private sector, government authorities, training partners and community-based organizations. Component 2: Training, Placement & Start-up: recruitment of participants, followed by skills training (both for job placement and entrepreneurship), mentoring and follow-up support. Component 3: Research and Evidence Gathering: enables further up-scaling and replication in the Latin American region of Youth Empowerment Solutions (YES) programs post this 3 year project. Plan will gather evidence for best practices in YES overall, and in entrepreneurship programming in particular. The program has been proposed for evaluation as a pilot to demonstrate the “Link, Leverage and Learn” principles in the emerging Solutions for Youth Employment (S4YE) Coalition, an initiative founded by the World Bank, in partnership with Plan International..

Plan International Zambia started implementing the WASH SDG programme in two districts, Chongwe rural and the peri-urban areas of Chongwe and Kafue. Zambia did not meet the MDG target of 70% access to improved sanitation by 2015. The programme will increase access to sanitation and hygiene for 161,882 and to water for 5,300 people. It also aims at improving the position of women, girls and other socially excluded groups. The programme will focus on sanitation and hygiene, targeting a total of 41,556 people going up the sanitation ladder. The programme targets a total of 85,425 people regarding safe hygiene practices (e.g. handwashing). The water supply support is targeting 5,250 people in rural Chongwe. Zambia has an estimated population of 15 million, with 75% under the poverty line. The quickly expanding urban areas as well as rural areas are characterised by low access to basic services including schools, health centres, safe water supply and sanitation. Climate change causes unpredictable rainfall, drought, floods and a rise of temperature which affects livelihood of people. Zambia did not meet the MDG target of 70.5% access, nationally, to improved sanitation by 2015. Some two thirds of the rural population still do not have access to an improved household toilet. The country continues to experience waterborne disease problems. In Chongwe and Kafue, districts of the project area 53% of the water supply is safely managed. 86% of the health facilities have basic water supply service level. Only 1% of the households have a safely managed toilet. Most toilets were pit latrines In Chongwe 54,4% of toilets were unimproved . All the schools have their own toilets on the premises, but almost all exceed the national standard for pupil toilet ratios. Women have low level of participation in decision making at household level. Limited levels of education among women continue to limit their participation in WASH activities.. The WASH SDG programme-level Theory of Change (ToC) was developed and validated in early 2017. To achieve the vision of the WASH SDG through the Theory of Change, Plan will have three pathways. • improved behaviour change interventions that lead to increased demand for improved WASH facilities and practices • improved WASH service provision that leads to increased availability and affordability of WASH products and services • strengthened WASH governance and institutional framework that leads to governments enabling efficient and effective delivery of inclusive and sustainable WASH services. In order for WASH to be sustainable and equitable, the programme also assumes that two additional approaches should be endorsed and integrated transversally: • gender transformative and socially inclusive WASH • climate resilient WASH services. On recommendation of the Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environment Protection the districts of Kafue and Chongwe were selected because of the major problems in the field of WASH, as was also the outcome of the Water and Sanitation Sector Report of 2016. Women’s low level participation in decision making at household level is affected by their inadequate contribution to household income which hinders negotiation for gender friendly sanitation facilities. The program has the potential for scaling up and provide access to sanitation for the whole district. Achieving full coverage is possible since the district has experience in implementing total sanitation approaches at district and sub-district level because of previous project supported by Unicef. This project was implemented in the rural areas. The buy-in and acceptance of programme by the district stakeholders such as government and line ministries, including the traditional leadership and communities, guarantees long-term sustainability of the programme activities. The target group consists of 162.882 beneficiaries. Chongwe rural: 87.600 beneficiaries Chongwe urban: 15.889 beneficiaries Kafue urban: 59.393 Pathway 1: The vision of the sub-programme for this pathway by the end of the programme, is to have improved rural and peri-urban WASH services in the two selected districts by bringing together relevant stakeholders like finance institutes, retailers, service providers, local builders and Community Based Enterprises. By strengthening the sanitation value chain, WASH services will be improved for approx. 21,000 households of the Bottom Of the Pyramid. Consumers in the target communities will have access to sanitary pads, soap, water filter, water container, toilet pan and latrine slabs at an affordable price. To make progress towards this, Plan will work together with local stakeholders like government, WASH committees and Champions for Change. The SP will strengthen the capacity of local government in implementing (Urban) Community Led Total Sanitation (UCLTS) with focus on Nutrition Sensitive Hygiene and Sanitation, hand washing and elimination of open defecation. By training government staff the SP will stimulate reproduction of the activities in other districts. The role of Champions for Change is very relevant and they will be selected from local influencers like traditional leaders, community workers and youth. Pathway 2: The vision of the programme for this pathway by the end of the programme is to have improved rural and peri-urban WASH services in the two selected districts by bringing together relevant stakeholders like finance institutes, retailers, service providers, local builders and Community Based Enterprises. By strengthening the sanitation value chain, WASH services will be improved for approx. 21,000 households of the Bottom Of the Pyramid. Consumers in the target communities will have access to sanitary pads, soap, water filter, water container, toilet pan and latrine slabs at an affordable price. The programme will focus on the capacity building and orientation of local service providers on best-fit practices for delivering household-level sanitation services, including a combination of marketing, construction, product sales, financial management, and regulatory conformance skills to (female) entrepreneurs. To make this possible, Micro Finance Institutions will be involved so they can offer the necessary loans to the enterprises. Local saving groups will be setup or strengthened so they can provide households with the necessary financing to install their own sanitation facilities. Pathway 3: The vision of the sub-programme for this pathway by the end of the programme, is that new and existing local government committees (WASHCO’s)will have been strengthened, while the government action plans on WASH will have improved. At the district level, gender transformation and social inclusion is mainstreamed in all WASH programmes and sufficient budget is allocated to implement these programmes.In order to make progress towards this vision the SP will focus on dialogue and cooperation with relevant government entities in order to not only strengthen capacity of local government, but also to achieve that WASH policies and guidelines will facilitate the necessary investments and acceleration of WASH sector development and scaling-up. SP promotes representation of at least 50% women and socially excluded in these governance structures. Together with local government, SP will improve action plans focusing on WASH service delivery at community level. Together with government Plan will organize joint national communication campaigns to promote the importance of WASH and so further increasing demand creation. FIETS criteria: Financial: Improvement of sanitation based on local resources has a positive effect on the local economy. The use of nutrients will provide fertilizer for food production. Institutional: Lusaka Water and Sewerage will take full control and ownership over the sanitation system and involve the private sector. In addition, government must be willing and able to support the private sector and guarantee the legality of the system owners and operators. Environmental: The sanitation approach is based on the principle of closing the loop with respect to nutrient and water use for improved food security. Minimising water use for toilet flushing by introduction of (semi-) dry sanitation systems will minimise ground and surface water pollution. This will have a positive effect on the drinking water quality. Technical: The proposed technologies are based on a dry sanitation approach combined with the collection of urine, faeces and/or sludge, to be treated and used in agricultural applications. Because the system is simple and adjustable to local standards its principles are replicable in almost every situation. Social: By including also the poor and provide them affordable services, the programme guarantees social inclusion.

In addition, gender and social inclusion (GESI), climate vulnerability and resilience (CVR) are integrated transversally in the objectives. In Ethiopia, the WASH-SDG Consortium is represented by WASH Alliance International (WAI – country lead) and Plan. The Plan SP is implemented in rural areas of Bahir Dar Zuria and Lasta (Amhara region). The programme started on the 1st of July 2017 and runs until the 31st of December 2022. Ethiopia has a population of 99.39 million people and is considered among the poorest countries in the world. In Bahir Dar Zuria and Lasta (Amhara region) hygiene and sanitation practice and service coverage is low and does not meet the basic level of standards. In most communities of those woredas, latrines are virtually non-existent and open defecation is still common practice. Many of the WASH entrepreneurs or producers have lost their interest in the WASH market due to lack of policy support and lack of financial sources. There is a lack of coordination between different WASH initiatives of the government, which effects the service delivery system in the WASH sector. The communities in the program areas are patriarchal and little space is given to women to exercise their human rights. At community level women mostly do not have leadership roles. Economically poor girls use reusable home-made sanitary pads made of worn out cloths or apply nothing except putting on several dresses to control the menstrual discharge. In the communities, sanitary pads are not available. People with disabilities and people who by traditional religion are suspected of the evil eye are systematically excluded from community (WASH) decision making. There is an increasing trend of drought and high temperature, flood, and erratic rainfall caused by climate change. This has already led to direct and indirect impacts on WASH services and infrastructures and will aggravate in future. Pathway 1: Increase demand for improved WASH facilities and practices: Plan aims to make communities aware on improved sanitation and hygienic practices, so that people change their behavior on WASH, and their demand for WASH services will increase. Plan aims to identify and address the root causes of gender inequality in WASH. Pathway 2: Improve the quality of service provision: Plan aims to make financial institutions aware of the benefits of investing in WASH products and services so that they offer loans for WASH service providers, suppliers, producers (preferably women groups) and households to invest in better access of WASH products and services. In addition, the efficiency and effectiveness of delivery of WASH service providers, suppliers and producers are targeted to be improved so that the supply of WASH products and services improves. Pathway 3: Improve governance of the sector: Plan will strengthen WASH governance and traditional leadership on gender and socially inclusive and climate resilient WASH, so that WASH gets the attention it needs and sufficient budget is allocated. Existing WASH laws, policies, strategies and regulations will be tested. Women, girls, and socially excluded groups will be actively involved in this process. Plan will also support the government in strengthening their WASH monitoring and evaluation capacity and systems used in order to track WASH progress and WASH expenditures. The programme has many different and complementary stakeholders to take into account which all have interests when it comes to WASH. In order to create a sustainable and locally owned programme, all stakeholders have been involved since the inception phase. • Local government has a leading role in defining district WASH priorities and will ensure the programme is governed by government policies, strategies, legislations and procedures. Jointly with Plan, they will facilitate selection of communities and water sources. They will facilitate community planning process and prioritize, appraise and approve community requests and conduct routine programme M&E. Together with the WASHCO’s (WASH Committees), they will provide caretaker (mechanic) training and will provide orientation, information and guidance to kebele stakeholders and leaders on interventions and strategic approaches and tools. • NGOs and CSOs will be responsible for informing, facilitating and mobilizing communities and schools about the interventions to participate and make action plans. They also facilitate the identification and prioritization of target villages and groups. • Private sector will be invited to participate in monitoring and evaluation and will be stimulated to improve WASH service delivery. • Communities will be involved in the planning and will be involved throughout preparation, implementation and monitoring of the interventions. Plan International will implement their Ethiopia Bahir Dar Zuria and Lasta sub-programme (SP) in two woredas, situated in two zones, of Amhara national regional state. Bahir Dar Zuria woreda has 36 kebeles, and Lasta has 25 kebeles. The SP will target the two woredas with a total number of 365,800 people. Pathway 1: By 2022 the programme wants in at least 30 communities in the target areas reach the open defecation free (ODF) status and people have moved up the sanitation and hygiene ladder. Women, girls and other socially excluded groups are empowered resulting in an increased level of participation of women/girls and other excluded groups in WASH activities in the community, shared WASH workload and decision making in the household and an increase level of leadership positions in communities around WASH. Fathers and mothers have improved their knowledge and practices about baby WASH and students, parents and teachers about MHM. Plan will enhance the capacity of the district offices to effectively use gender transformative and inclusive demand-creation tools and guidelines, so that health extension workers will implement these in the communities to eliminate open defecation and beyond. Through WASHCOs (community level WASH committees) and school WASH and nutrition clubs, capacity will be built on WASH conditions, MHM and baby WASH. The sub-programme promotes an increase in household investment in WASH (see also pathway 2). The level of participation in decision making of women, girls and socially excluded groups about WASH activities in the community will be increased. The sub-programme creates awareness among women, girls and socially excluded groups of their rights and supportive communities, so that WASH practices and services will be more equitable and sustainable. The gender and WASH monitoring tool will be used to improve and monitor levels of participation of women and socially excluded groups throughout the programme. Through these tools, men and boys will also be targeted to ensure women and girls are given the space within WASH activities and decision making and the (baby) WASH workload is shared more equally. Pathway 2: By 2022 the programme wants to increase access to water by the construction or rehabilitation of 36 water schemes in the two districts in collaboration with the district government, the private sector and the communities. The sub-programme will improve the WASH market in the districts by strengthening new and existing entrepreneurs in producing and marketing affordable WASH products and by increasing the value of loans given by MFIs and others to producers of WASH products. At least 13.5% of these entrepreneurs will be women. Plan will work closely with the regional WASH bureau, district offices, private sector parties and the communities on the planning, construction and rehabilitation of water schemes and will strengthen them on climate resilience. Plan will establish and strengthen WASH marketing groups of local entrepreneurs to increase the production and provision of WASH products like sanitary pads, soap andclimate resilient latrine options. Female entrepreneurs will be included in the groups and will be motivated and strengthened to run a profitable WASH business. To increase access to credit for WASH businesses, Plan will promote and/or strengthen the WASH entrepreneurs and groups and link them to financial institutions. Plan will train teachers and school pupils (girls and boys) in school WASH clubs on how to make reusable sanitary pads. In order to improve sanitation in schools, Plan and the school management will construct latrines and handwashing facilities for boys and girls. The latrines will include a toilet for people with disabilities and MHM facilities. All facilities will only be constructed after the school management has developed a financial sustainable operation and maintenance plan. Pathway 3: By 2022, district offices are able to implement service improvement action plans and have improved capacity in monitoring and evaluation of WASH results and expenditures. This will lead to stronger and more coherent WASH sector policies and regulations and increased budget allocation by the district offices for WASH service delivery. The sub-programme calls for gender, inclusion and climate resilience being prioritised in the WASH programmes and sufficient budget allocation to implement these programmes. At a local level, WASHCOs and caretaker committees will have improved capacity in the operation and maintenance of sustainable and inclusive WASH services. Through strengthened WASH governance at district, local and community level in the two districts (Bahir Dar Zuria and Lasta), the government will be able to deliver gender transformative, inclusive and sustainable WASH services in an efficient and effective way. Plan makes use of several entry points, focusing mainly on strengthening the different levels of governance structures. The district health office, the district water office and the district education office will be supported in the development and implementation of their service improvement action plans for which regular meetings between government, service providers and users will be ensured. Through these mechanisms, government may be hold accountable Financial sustainability means that continuity in the delivery of products and services related to WASH is assured, because the activities are locally financed (e.g. taxes, local fees, local credit products). Institutional sustainability means that WASH systems, institutions, policies and procedures at the local level are functional and meet the demand of users of WASH services. WASH stakeholders are clear on their own roles, tasks and responsibilities, are capable of fulfilling these roles effectively and are transparent to each other. The element of environmental sustainability implies placing WASH interventions in the wider context of the natural environment and implementing an approach of integrated and sustainable management of water and waste(-water) flows and resources, including the adaptation to climate change. Technical sustainability of WASH services is reached when the technology or hardware needed for continuous services is maintained, repaired and replaced by local people and it is not depleting the (natural) resources on which it depends for its functioning. Social sustainability refers to ensuring that the appropriate social conditions and prerequisites are realized and sustained so the current and future society is able to create healthy and liveable communities. Social sustainable intervention is demand-driven, inclusive (equality), gender equal, culturally sensitive and needs-based.

Please note that the benchmark was set on limited for this programme. As a result of different factors, the figures above do not really highlight the extent of the sub-programme’s efforts in this result area, and it is important to note that despite not reaching the sub-programme’s targets, across the two woredas, the sub-programme managed to construct or rehabilitate a total of 33 water supplies, benefiting approximately 35000 people which is significant considering the difficult context in which the programme was implemented (see also narrative endline report). This target value represents 81% of people in the intervention area who reach at least limited service level. Reporting is conducted in line with the sanitation ladder as defined by the Joint Monitoring Program by Unicef and WHO Benchmark for this sub-programme is Limited Note that benchmark was set as limited for this programme. This situation is disappointing, particularly in BDZ which had the legacy of an earlier programme that had demonstrated good results in terms of communities achieving ODF status. Despite techniques such as the sub-programme’s Community Conversations, slippage levels in both woredas have been significant. The sub-programme theory of change (ToC) was largely based on supporting governmentled interventions, and the sub-programme’s view on this is that a lack commitment from woreda leadership and attention to WASH, particularly in BDZ, has severely undermined the efficacy of this approach. This target value represents 47% of people in the intervention area Reporting is conducted in line with the hygiene ladder as defined by the Joint Monitoring Program by Unicef and WHO Benchmark for this sub-programme is Limited The Community Conversations approach includes a substantial hygiene promotion component, and the subprogramme attributes the turnaround in the trend for this Result Area to the way that this leveraged the Federal Government’s COVID-19 handwashing campaigns, which included distribution of jerry cans in many locations. However, whilst it is important to note that almost certainly all households have HWF for use before eating (the cultural norm in Ethiopia), there remains the challenge of ensuring people wash their hands after using the toilet. This target value represents 26% of people in the intervention area reaching at least limited service levels.

Plan International Uganda implements the WASH SDG programme in nine sub counties in the districts of Kamuli, Buyende and Nebbi in Uganda. Water and sanitation coverage in Uganda has not reached the national and global MDG targets. The programme will increase access to sanitation for 176,567 people and hygiene for 57,117 people. The programme will also improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene in at least 9 schools in the selected Districts. The programme does not only focus on improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene but also on improving the position of women, girls and other socially excluded groups. Water and sanitation coverage in Uganda has not reached the national and global MDG targets. In the target areas access to basic water is 30,2%. Access to basic sanitation facilities is even lower at 24% and 92% of the target population does not have access to any handwashing facilities. Uganda is ranked 64 out of the 144 countries in the global gender index. Gender gaps and inequalities (employment and control of resources), discrimination, exclusion and marginalisation continue to remain despite increased levels of girls and women empowerment. The nature of the rural society in the selected districts continues to overload girls and women with WASH activities at household level including water collection and household and latrine management. In comparison to boys and men, women spend long hours per day on household activities. The gender household division of labour is biased against women which leaves them with limited time to meaningfully participate in WASH decision-making spaces at community level. Boys and men continue to dominate and take leadership roles in WASH management committees and are highly influential in decision making on WASH issues, leaving women with little or no influence. Women are often traditional members on the committees with no control and power. Additionally, women habitually lack self-esteem to speak up because culturally it is perceived they should be submissive and not challenge male views. The WASH SDG programme-level Theory of Change (ToC) was developed and validated in early 2017. As established in the proposal approved by DGIS, the WASH SDG programme is built on the assumption that sustainable and equitable use of WASH by all can be achieved in a locality through: • Improved behaviour change interventions that lead to increased demand for improved WASH facilities and practices • Improved WASH service provision that leads to increased availability and affordability of WASH products and services • Strengthened WASH governance and institutional framework that leads to governments enabling efficient and effective delivery of inclusive and sustainable WASH services. In order for WASH to be sustainable and equitable, the programme also assumes that two additional approaches should be endorsed and integrated transversally: • gender transformative and socially inclusive WASH • climate resilient WASH services. Activities of Plan International Uganda will contribute to, and enhance the national WASH strategy of the Government of Uganda. Based on discussions with the national level government and previous working experience in Uganda, Plan International Uganda will work in Kamuli, Buyende and Nebbi. These districts are all lacking behind in terms of access to WASH, but also in terms of poverty. Based on national data and baseline data collected in the intervention areas, it became apparent that the number of people that lack access to water, sanitation and hygiene services in Uganda is still very high. There is still a lot to be done in order to achieve the country SDG targets. This is the case for all three sub-sectors, but sanitation and hygiene are lagging behind even more than water and are receiving less government budget and priority. For this reason, the WASH SDG Consortium has chosen for an integrated WASH approach, but with a strong emphasis on sanitation and hygiene. The project is aligned and builds onto the achievements of the ongoing “A deadly serious matter: Menstrual Hygiene Management in Uganda” Under this project Plan reaches out to over 150,000 adolescent girls and young women with an opportunity to take a full part in education and work, without menstruation being a limiting factor. It build Knowledge about personal hygiene and menstrual cycles among girls, boys, parents, teachers and communities, accompanied by a change in behaviour with regard to personal hygiene during menstruation, partly due to the availability of affordable sanitary protection. The programme will increase access to sanitation for 193,000 people and hygiene for 90,200 people in the selected villages in Kamuli, Buyende and Nebbi. And the programme will improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene in at least 9 schools in the selected Districts. The selected villages were chosen because access to WASH is limited and a high percentage of the households living in these villages have a low income status. Pathway 1: The vision of the sub-programme for this pathway is that by the end of the programme, at least 150 communities in the target areas reach the ODF status and have moved up the sanitation and hygiene ladder. Women, girls and other socially excluded groups are empowered, resulting in an increased level of participation of women/girls and other excluded groups in WASH activities in the community, shared WASH workload and decision making in the household and an increased level of leadership positions in communities around WASH. Fathers and mothers have also improved their knowledge and practices about baby WASH. In order to make progress towards this, Plan will enhance the capacity of the responsible government structures on gender and social inclusive community demand-driven approaches which aims to eliminate open defecation. Capacity will be built on how to improve knowledge attitudes and practices (KAP) for handwashing, MHM and baby WASH. In addition, Plan will support the government in the implementation of behaviour change activities and help them to enhance their monitoring capacity to ensure monitoring and follow up. Other CSOs will be trained so they can support other districts with other donor funding, to enhance their capacity on inclusive behaviour change interventions which include baby WASH messages. Finally, Plan will use the champion of change approach and the GWMT to improve and monitor levels of participation of women and socially excluded groups throughout the programme. For further information on these can be found in the inception report (July 2018). Through these tools, men and boys will also be targeted to ensure women and girls are given the space within WASH activities and decision making and the (baby) WASH workload is shared more equally. Pathway 2: The vision of the sub-programme for this pathway is that by the end of the programme the target communities and schools have access to affordable and sustainable menstrual hygienic products, liquid soap and climate resilient latrine options. In order to make progress towards this vision, Plan will support the development of locally made liquid soap and climate resilient latrine options together with community groups (like village health workers) and local entrepreneurs. Plan will train teachers and school pupils (girls and boys) on how to make reusable sanitary pads. Members of village saving and loan associations (VSLA) and already established small-scale entrepreneurs, especially women, will also receive marketing and financial business skill training to stimulate the beginning of selling reusable sanitary pads, liquid soap and climate resilient latrine options. To increase access to credit for WASH businesses, Plan will promote and/or strengthen the VSLAs in 60 rural communities and link those to the established financial institutions. In order to improve sanitation and water service provision at schools, Plan, together with the school management, will construct latrines for boys and girls. These latrines will include a toilet for people with disabilities and MHM facilities. Water points will also be rehabilitated or constructed at 22 schools. All facilities will only be constructed after the school management has developed a financially sustainable operation and maintenance plan. Pathway 3: The vision of the sub-programme for this pathway is that by the end of the programme, the national CLTS manual is revised and is gender and social inclusive and standardised school latrine designs in the national school WASH guidelines include an MHM component. At the district level gender transformation and social inclusion is mainstreamed in all WASH programmes and sufficient budget is allocated to implement these programmes. The capacity of the district health and community workers has been enhanced and they are now implementing gender transformative and inclusive CLTS. Women and girls and other socially excluded groups will amplify their voices/demand for their WASH rights including active participation in community WASH leadership and decision making. As a consequence at least 50% of the WASH governance committees are represented by women and socially excluded groups and whose voices are heard. District local government also has a harmonised understanding of and effectively reports on the SDG 6 indicators, target 6.1 and 6.2. In order to make progress towards this, Plan, as the chair of the national CLTS taskforce, will work with the Ministry of Health to revise the national CLTS manual to be gender and socially inclusive and to ensure that standardised school latrine designs include MHM facilities. Plan will strengthen the WASH planning and coordination at district and national level and work with the technical support unit of the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) to facilitate district local governments to review and to add resources to the district based WASH investment plans. Similarly, Plan shall invest time/budget to rev Financial sustainability: In a bid to build a sense of ownership, communities will be required to contribute a cash contribution (€ 51) of per water source in line with the critical minimum requirements under the WASH sector. An appropriate tariff (between € 0.74 per household per year) will be negotiated and agreed upon to ensure effective operation and maintenance of water sources Institutional sustainability: School and community level structures to support community based maintenance systems will be developed, trained and mentored over the project phase to enhance their autonomous functioning beyond the life of the project. On the other hand, the project’s actors will transfer the installed materials to the officials who are in charge of the water resources through official transfer ceremonies. Ecological sustainability: The project will utilise a technology for water extraction in selected schools that does not impact on the environment in the selected schools. The selected areas have a large amount of water, so the withdrawal is not a problem for the environment and the future water supply. In addition, excess water will be used for irrigation of fruit trees in school that have a positive contribution to environment. Improvements in sanitation and hygiene practices will also have a positive impact on the environment as it will reduce contamination of the groundwater. Technical sustainability: The chosen technology (drilling of deep boreholes), is a relative simple technique. The technical level required for its repair and maintenance is simple, although the lack of capabilities makes it necessary to provide training for the local technicians. As part of advocacy efforts, Plan will engage with the district local governments of Nebbi, Kamuli and Buyende to establish a functional faecal sludge management system and encourage schools to mobilize resources for emptying, transporting and disposing off the wastes. Social sustainability: The 22 water management committees will manage the operation and maintenance of boreholes hand pumps. Their members are democratically selected by their communities, also considering the female and child representation (at least one boy and one girl and 50% women representation). This will grant that the diversity of opinion will be considered in all the decisions that the committees will take. The school Health Clubs established in schools will promote the participation of the youngest people and enhancing their social inclusion in the local policies.

Plan Indonesia is implementing the project in three districts and one municipality in the East and West Nusa Tenggara provinces. The programme aims to improve access to sanitation for 90,000 rural people and for 551,000 urban people. The programme focuses on improving the position of women, girls and other socially excluded groups. Gender transformative approaches as a part of community led total sanitation activities, sanitation marketing, and demand driven activities will be used to attain the objectives. The project locations were selected based on criteria of high poverty rates, low access to WAS facilities, low level of MHM knowledge and practices among adolescent girls and high levels of stunting. The poverty of East Nusa Tenggara is characterized by the limited availability and access to educational facilities, health, WASH and food.Because of he lack of water in rural communities of East Nusa Tenggara women, men, and children are spending much time to fetch water for daily use. Although access to water has been improved in the province of West Nusa Tenggara, sanitation and hygiene are still far from improved with almost 50 per cent of people are still not using water and soap for handwashing; 30 per cent of people still consume contaminated water and food and over 60 per cent of the people drink untreated water. Women leadership and participation in the community decision making process remains very low.since Furthermore, people with disabilities and elderly are hardly ever involved in meetings also because public facilities are often not accessible. There is no binding government regulation that directly mandates specific involvement of and fund allocation for women, PWD and the elderly. The WASH SDG programme-level Theory of Change (ToC) was developed and validated in early 2017. As established in the proposal approved by DGIS, the WASH SDG programme is built on the assumption that sustainable and equitable use of WASH by all can be achieved in a locality through : • Improved behaviour change interventions that lead to increased demand for improved WASH facilities and practices. • Improved WASH service provision that leads to increased availability and affordability of WASH products and services • Strengthened WASH governance and institutional framework that leads to governments enabling efficient and effective delivery of inclusive and sustainable WASH services. In order for WASH to be sustainable and equitable, the programme also assumes that two additional approaches should be endorsed and integrated transversally: • gender transformative and socially inclusive WASH • climate resilient WASH services. The programme will support existing Government WASH programmes and is aligned with the project activities of WaterWorX and Blue Deal. Progress on reaching the targets is lagging behind, making it difficult for the government to attain the SDG commitment on reaching 50% safely managed WASH by 2030. Currently Indonesia holds the second highest number of citizens defecating in the open. The WASH activities of the programme will complement the water interventions of the Ministry of Public Works and addresses capacity gaps within the WASH sector at the national, district or city level. Since the SBTM (CLTS) five pillar strategy mainly focusses on attaining ODF, insufficient priority is given to the other pillars: hand washing, drinking treated water, manage household solid and liquid waste; the interests of the people most affected by poor WASH are rarely addressed by government; 15% of all primary schools in Indonesia lack sufficient access to clean water and 54% of all primary schools lack separate toilet for boys and girls; 37% of the children under 5 are stunted. Although the development cooperation programmes of the Dutch Embassy of the Netherlands (EKN) in Indonesia are being phased out gradually close coordination is taking place regarding the WASH SDG project. The programme will increase access to sanitation for 150.000 people and hygiene for 229.900 people in selected communities in Malaka and Belu in NTT and Mataram and Lombok in NTB. The selected communities were chosen because access to WASH is limited and a high percentage of the households living in these villages have a low income status. Pathway 1 : The vision is that 100 pilot communities and 40 pilot schools in the target areas have reached the Open Defecation Free (ODF) status and have moved up the sanitation and hygiene ladder through the use of the GESI STBM approach, within the first two years of the programme. In the third and fourth year of the programme the capacity of the district government is enhanced sufficient to replicate these efforts with funding from the District and City budget (APBD). Women, girls and people with disabilities are empowered This will result in (1) an increased level of participation of those groups in WASH activities in the community, (2) increased levels of shared WASH workload (3) increased level of decision making on WASH in the household and (4) an increase level of leadership positions in communities. Fathers and mothers have also improved their knowledge and practices about baby WASH . In order to make progress towards this Plan will develop a GESI STBM training module. This will be used to train the different WASH Working groups from the Provincial, to the village level. Capacity of these Working groups will also be enhanced on how to promote baby WASH. Plan will also support the establishment of these active groups that are able to lead the implementation of STBM as stipulated in the National STBM Policy. Plan will support District Working groups with the formation of at least 40 sub-district STBM Teams that are active and functioning to assist in implementing STBM in the community. Plan will encourage membership and leadership from women/people with disability in the membership of these working groups. Finally, Plan will use the GWMT to improve and monitor levels of participation of women and socially excluded groups throughout the programme. For further information on these can be found in the inception report (July 2018). Through these tools, men and boys will also be targeted to ensure women and girls are given the space within WASH activities and decision making and the (baby) WASH workload is shared more equally. Pathway 2: The vision is that the target communities and schools have access to affordable and sustainable products that support attaining all the 5 STBM pillars: 1. Pilar 1: sale of toilet pan, toilet, and inclusive latrine package, and regular faecal sludge emptying service 2. Pilar 2: construction of sink and handwashing tools for kids 3. Pilar 3: water service provision and water filters 4. Pilar 4: provision of community-based waste management services or products 5. Pilar 5: service provision for liquid household waste management (sewer) In order to make progress towards this Plan will conduct a sanitation marketing study to find out which products are currently not available or not affordable in the target areas. Plan will train existing and new entrepreneurs on business and marketing skills in all four target areas and will encourage women and people with disabilities to take a leading role as entrepreneurs or within WASH businesses. New WASH product designs, made by the local entrepreneurs with support of Plan, will be piloted to test if they suit the market in the target areas. Plan will also support the Mataram City government with the formulation of city regulations to prevent illegal dumping of faecal sludge. Pathway 3: the vision is that the Gender and Social inclusion is reflected in national, provincial and district WASH policies and that the GESI STBM training module is embraced and used by the national, provincial, and district level governments. Women organisations and disability organisations are enabled by the government to participate and hold strategic positions in WASH decision making. National monitoring systems are adjusted to track progress on SDG 6 and national definitions on the WASH ladders have been agreed upon and are contextualized. In order to make progress towards this Plan will support the national government on how to include data on ODF and the other 4 pillars in the online STBM monitoring systems . Through the national WASH working groups, Plan will support the National government with the operationalisation of the SDG’s. Plan will support with the formation of the City/District POKJA AMPL and lobby for city/district policy and adequate budget from the Bupati/Walikota (City/District Head). The active and functioning POKJA AMPL will conduct regular coordination meetings) that involve all members from across the institutions/agencies where they will conduct STBM. Financial sustainability : The Indonesian Government and the District working groups will be involved during the implementation to ensure the sustainability of the program and guarantee an adequate financial support from the district government. Target for the district government is to issue policy and allocate budget for CLTS (=STBM)-GESI activities. In a bid to build a sense of ownership, communities will be required to contribute a cash contribution based on an appropriate tariff to ensure effective operation and maintenance of water sources. Institutional sustainability: The Indonesian Government is having a strong National CLTS Policy, how ever, with the decentralization of the government, the implementation of national policy on district level is going slow. Plan will conduct capacity building and technical assistance for Sub-district CLTS Team, to encourage district government’s policy to institutionalize GESI-CLTS on their government activities’ planning. The existing monitoring system will be used and will ensure the sustainability of the program. The districts government signed cooperation agreements within 100 pilot villages and 40 pilot schools as a model for replication under the responsibility and funds of the district government. The sustainability compacts will be signed in 2020. Ecological sustainability: The District Disaster Management Body and the Public Works Agency in the membership of POKJA AMPL will be involved to ensure ecological sustainability of WASH Facilities, by providing guidelines to build WASH facilities that are resilient to disasters and environmentally save. Technical sustainability: The District Disaster Management Body and the Public Works Agency will be involved also to technical sustainability of WASH Facilities, by providing technical guidelines to build WASH facilities that are resilient to disasters and environmentally save. Social sustainability: Plan will work with the foundations People with Disability to enhance their WASH knowledge, who will then subsequently train government staff on social inclusion. The capacity of the District women groups will be strengthened to enhance their advocacy role toward the WASH working group to promote gender and social inclusion within the WASH policies at the district level. Natural leaders will be engaged in the communities as CLTS Team members assisting in campaigning the behaviour change and monitoring at community level. The school clubs established will promote the participation of the youngest people and enhancing their social inclusion in the local policies.

NL-KVK-41198890-NPL100403 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The WASH SDG Project in Nepal is part of the Netherlands WASH SDG Consortium Programme which started in July 2018 after a one year inception phase. The programme is implemented by WASH Alliance International (WAI), SNV and Plan International. Plan International Nepal started implementing the WASH SDG programme in nine sub counties in 12 municipalities in Sinduli and Sunsari. Nepal was successful in meeting its MDG targets for WASH. The functionality of the services is poor due to the damage caused by the earthquake of 2015 and the floods of 2017. The project will reach a population of 130.219 in marginalized communities. It will increase access to water for 24,240 households, improve access to sanitation for 11,212 households and improve access to hygiene for 94,767 households. The WASH situation in Nepal is far from adequate. The lack of water is a major challenge for women and adolescent girls, since they are responsible for domestic chores, including the labor-intensive task of fetching water from the source. Nepalese society has assigned tightly defined gender roles to men and women. The society has made women and girls responsible for WASH related household work such as collecting water, cooking, washing, bathing children, and cleaning. These gender roles and socio-cultural traditions has played a key role in inhibiting women and young girls from participating fully in society. Climate change has been experienced in all project areas and has negative impact on WASH components. Decrease in water level in rivers, decrease of water level in underground water, drying off of rivulets and spring water has created water scarcity in project areas. Initiatives undertaken by government and civil societies in constructing WASH infrastructures but their vulnerability to climate induced disasters has increased in recent years. Unequal access to water and its scarcity in the project areas have created problem in maintaining hygienic practices. Insufficient water supply has created upstream and downstream conflicts. Pathway 1, Increase demand for improved WASH facilities and practices: Plan will focus on improving access to to gender and social inclusive WASH facilities and improving WASH practices of households, schools and institutions. This will be achieved through intensive capacity building and awareness raising of communities and government on the importance of behavioural change and the need for gender and socially inclusive WASH and nutrition sensitive hygiëne interventions. Pathway 2, Improve WASH service provision : the programme will work with cooperatives and financial institutions to stimulate the Development of WASH entrepreneurs to improve accessible and affordable WASH products at local level. Pathway 3, Strengthen WASH governance: within this pathway Plan aims to ensure that municipalities recognise their WASH roles and responsibilities and act accordingly for evidence based planning, strengthening M&E systems and allocating adequate budget for WASH in their annual plans. Organizations supporting the national WASH sector include ADB-funded water supply and sewerage projects, Finnish bilateral funding to strengthen sub-national governance in WASH, JICA’s programme on urban water supply service strengthening , DFID funding for large rural water supply investments, World Bank funding to the semi-government rural water supply, Sanitation Fundboard, USAID support focusing on integrated projects (eg. nutrition, livelihood, and health sector), and UN agencies’ engagement in sector strengthening (UNICEF ,UN-HABITAT,and WHO). Thanks to this sector development, the programme can build on this experience. Stakeholders from government involved are the Water Supply and Sanitation Division Office of the Ministry of Water Supply and Department of Water Supply and Sewerage. The WASH coordination committee is responsible for overall coordination. NGO's involved are Relief Nepal and Community For Social Development Centre (CSDC). Further participants are local government, communities, water and sanitation user groups, children’s clubs, women’s groups, religious leaders etc. . The Federation of Water and Sanitation Users Nepal (FEDWASUN) ,a user-based umbrella organisation of drinking water and sanitation user groups. The programme will reach a total of 130.219 beneficiaries of which 24.240 people will have improved access to water,;11.212 people have access to improved sanitation facilities and 94.767 people will have access to better hygiëne in nine sub counties in 12 municipalities in Sinduli and Sunsari. PATHWAY 1: . By the end of the programme, the WASH behaviour, attitudes and practices of households, schools and communities in the two target districts will have improved to have improved and they have moved up on the sanitation and hygiene ladder .Women, girls and marginalized groups are empowered to participate in WASH activities and influence in decision making for improving WASH conditions , focussing at the control of and equitable and sustainable sanitation and hygiene services. Women, girls, men and boys understand of importance of MHM and hygienic use of sanitary pads. Families have knowledge and practice hygiene sensitive WASH and schools apply menstrual hygiene management. New municipalities implement gender transformative and social inclusive community demand driven approaches and effective Open Defecation Free campaigns. Household level investments in WASH services and products have doubled . In order to make progress towards this, Plan will enhance the capacities of the 12 newly formed municipalities regarding their roles and responsibilities towards gender transformative and social inclusive community demand driven approaches,. Plan will work with and capacitate WASH champions , selected from within the communities, who will act as WASH resource persons to trigger both communities and schools to change the behavior resulting into total sanitation . Additionally, the level of participation of women and girls in decision making in WASH activities will be increased and monitored through the Gender and WASH monitoring tool. Basic sanitation facilities (incl. handwashing and MHM facilities) at schools and health facilities will be improved, which will allow for improved WASH behaviour. WASH coordination Committees will be (re)established as to improve the WASH status and behavior within schools to a basic level, through regular meetings and participatory decision making process. Drinking water systems and WASH user committees will be strengthened, and manage and sustain community based small water schemes and related WASH activities, including effective female participation in decision makings process . PATHWAY 2: By the end of 2022, the target communities, especially girls, women and socially excluded groups will have access to affordable and suitable WASH products , mainly sanitary pads and soaps. Targeted communities have improved access to sanitation and water service provision, In order to make progress towards this, Plan will support a selected group of local producers and retailers and new entrepreneurs , who will produce and market soap and sanitary pads in a profitable and sustainable way. At least 4 female entrepreneurs will be supported to run their own profitable and sustainable WASH business. Plan will strengthen the marketing and sales of new and existing entrepreneurs and producers through capacity building and exchange visits to producers and entrepreneurs of WASH products. In addition, women and girls are aware of importance of MHM and hygienic use of sanitary pads through trainings. Plan will work together with the municipalities and targeted communities , resulting into access to sustainably managed community based drinking water systems . Existing and new water sanitation and hygiene user committees will be strengthened and functional. PATHWAY 3: By the end of 2022, the administrative structures will have been strengthened, meaning that the 12 municipalities recognise and assume their new roles and responsibilities and develop and implement gender transformative and social inclusive WASH policies, based on evidence based planning, a strong monitoring and evaluation system and sufficient budget for WASH in annual plans. Municipalities implement effective OFD campaigns and gender and social inclusive demand creation strategies. Policies on 33% representation of female participation in government structures are put into action and policies on participation of the socially excluded group are now part of government structures as well, including the water and sanitation users committee at community level. Local governments (municipalities/rural municipalities) have adopted national WASH standards which equal SDG standards. In order to make progress towards this, Plan will enhance the capacity of the newly formed municipalities in the development of inclusive policies and evidence-based plans . Plan will support the development of WASH monitoring mechanisms in cooperation with local ward and municipal representatives,. A gender transformative WASH planning will be introduced, taking into account GESI outcomes, at ward/municipality level., Plan will support the establishment of WASH coordination committees at municipal level.

In particular for youth from ethnic minorities including young women it is very difficult to access and complete tertiary education due to their social, cultural and economic backgrounds. Selected youth will be provided with a scholarships and act as role models for their communities. They will be coached and mentored while studying and will received additional life skills training on topics such as presentation and leadership, financial literacy, gender roles, sexual reproductive health and rights, career guidance. The project is implemented by Plan International Ecuador in collaboration with various respected universities in Ecuador. It started in September 2017 and will run for 5 years. Poverty levels in Ecuador remain high with a percentage of 37,1% and extreme poverty of 14.11%; and raises at alarming levels in remote provinces like Santa Elena, where 61.9% of the population live in poverty (INEC- Censo 2010), and 29.9% in extreme poverty. In this province, out of 100 children attending primary school, 50.4% are boys and 49.6% are girls. However, when looking at numbers for secondary education, this gender gap deepens bringing it up to 54% of teenage boys and 46% of teenage girls having enrolled. At university level, despite the fact that there are no official numbers, this tendency worsens due to youth pregnancy and limited family income. Additionally, the low quality of secondary education in Santa Elena doesn’t allow students to succeed at the national university entry exam. Therefore, most of the local university students come from other provinces, and the curriculum options offered by these universities do not match local market needs. Santa Elena needs to prepare professionals for jobs related to its geographical reality and the local industry. Youngsters with no studies have more difficulties finding decent jobs, giving back to their communities, breaking the cycle of poverty and climbing the socio-economic ladder, and helping to build a healthy and strong country. Most of the economically active population in Santa Elena is underemployed, with rates reaching up to 73.3% for women and 63.6% for men, and unemployment rates of 11% for women and 8.3% for men. Based upon pre set selection criteria appropiate students will be selected by Plan Ecuador. Students will then be supported to take the required entry test to enter university. If they pass they will start with their chosen study, which should qualify as labour market relevant as assessed through a market assessement exercise done by Plan. Students will then be mentored, guided and supported while going through their academic year, both in financial terms as in life skills training. Upon graduation students will be supported to the world of work. Upon signing a employee contract at least 50% of the students will start contributing to the revolving fund as agreed beforehand to ensure new students can enter the program. Universities, employers and alumni will be actively involved in the program to strengthen it and ensure sustainability. Since 2015, Plan Ecuador has been developing scholarship programs aimed to support students to complete high school, but, even though they are intelligent and motivated, they have not been able to access to higher education due to the lack of economic resources. Research on what careers students can pursue if they get a scholarship to cover their expenses (transportation, food, internet, study materials) has been carried out as they live in communities far away from universities and come from low-income families that are not able to pay those indirect fees. Students usually come from single-teacher schools, therefore, their levels of knowledge about basic sciences (maths, physics, geometry and chemistry) are low so it is necessary to establish partnerships with universities to provide students with extra tutoring in order for them to acquire all the required knowledge. Strengthen the family is necessary in order for them to support students. Parents usually only finished elementary school, however, they value education and want their sons and daughters to go to university. The process of change done by this project is very important as it allows students from low-income families to change their family history by being the first ones to access to higher education and they will likely generate greater income. 15 Mixed-race youngsters from poor households who are living in the Province of Santa Elena (in an area where Plan is working) and are between 17 and 25 years old and are not benefiting from another educational grant. Delivering monthly scholarships to 15 students. Carrying out family visits to address situations such as: low academic performance, indiscipline, low motivation, death of relatives. Monthly meetings with the Student Scholarship Network in order to exchange ideas on how to improve interaction between Plan scholarship holders and the community in general, to disseminate the scholarships project, and to motivate other young people to pursue university studies. Monthly meetings with teachers to monitor attendance and academic performance. Facilitating "Dialogue First” workshops aimed at strengthening assertive communication. Facilitating theater-improvisation workshops aimed to develop authenticity and overcome fear. Organizing workshops on interviews with the objective of increasing the chances of success of jobseekers, in situations of job interviews, providing theoretical and practical knowledge. Havnig a debate on self-esteem and gender equality. Organizing youth entrepreneurship fairs where 10 productive undertakings developed by participants of the university scholarships project will be exhibited. Partnerships with the Santa Elena University and the Private Technical University of Loja have been established in order for them to provide students from low-income families who are participating in our projects with scholarships. Also an strategy to seek funds through private corporations is being designed.

The project aims at providing life-saving assistance to most vulnerable households and preventing and responding with local actors to conflict induced child protection concerns. Plan implemented this project from January 1st to December 31st 2018 in Eastern Equatoria (Torit County) and Central Equatoria States (Lainya County), focussing on the Food Security and Livelihoods and Protection sectors, including Multi-purpose cash (MPC). Plan supported most vulnerable farming households, with training, agricultural inputs and MPC. It enabled also most vulnerable children to access psychosocial support through Child Friendly Spaces, strengthened the capacities of the community and local authorities to protect children and delivered case management services to vulnerable children, especially unaccompanied and separated children. As of October 2017, the number of people displaced rose to nearly 4 million - including 1.9 million internally displaced and more than 2.1 million refugees in the region. The crisis continues to remain first and foremost a protection crisis, following larger scale government offensives in Jonglei and Upper Nile, and insecurity in the Equatoria States. Localized famine was declared in Unity in Februay 2017, and overall food insecurity reached unprecedented level during 2017. At the height of the lean season, approximately 6 million people in South Sudan were severly food insecure. With the majority of those displaced are women and children, there recent developments have further increased protection risks, and heightened the risk of gender based violence, with women and girls forced to travel further to access fuel, food and clean water. Very little progress has been made in the peace process and sadly the national peace agreement remains underimplemented. The "National Dialogue" initiated in March 2017 is seen by many as yet another national failure in furthering the peace process. The impact of the conflict has gone far beyond the frontlines of war : sparking food shortages, an economic crisis of massive proportion and causing a massive displacement of people, indiscriminate attacks, targerted killings, forced disappearances, systematic rape and other forms of sexual violence are the realities of life in war-torn South Sudan. Plan targets 15000 individuals, 13000 under protection and 2400 under FSL and multipurpose cash. For FSl and multipurpose cash, beneficiarie stargetd are the most vulnerable households, having land to cultivate, with a priority to female and elderly headed households, households hosting UASC, disabled persons, chronic ill persons, elderly persons, pregnant and lactating women, teenage mothers as well as returnees, or IDP households. FSL/ CASH: After community mobilization, ... households will be selected through a participative process to benefit from training and receive conditional cash transfer for unrestricted use. Same households will also receive cash transfers to buy seeds and other Agricultural inputs. Beneficiaries will be grouped in farners groups ad receive mentoring from the staff and Minsitry of Agriculture extension workers Protection : Community based Protection Network will be created and trained and referral pathways developped in 5 communities. They will identify children victim of abuse, especially UASC, CAFAAG and GBV survivors as well as adults GBV survivors and refer them to Plan for case management. In the same time, Plan will set up 5 CFS for children to be protected and benefit from psychosocial support Awarenes raising on children rights, especially girls, capacity building of local service providers and authorities will be facilitated by Plan A training on Child Protection and Gender will be provided with acre to staff from local organizations.

This project aims to build a protective environment (school, family and community) to keep children from the Hui ethnic group in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in China free from violence. A gender transformative approach will address the particular risks of girls to violence, including sexual abuse and early marriage. The project is targeting 6,000 girls and boys from three primary schools and three nine-year primary and junior secondary combined schools in Litong District, Wuzhong Municipality in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Plan International China and local partner Ningxia Charity Promotion Association will implement this project for two years, from September 2017 onwards. In Ningxia Hui Ethnic Autonomous Region, due to its religious culture and deeply rooted gender stereotypes, Hui adolescent girls usually face particular challenges as a result of their age, sex and ethnicity, which limit their opportunities of fulfilling their full potential. Girls are regarded by social norms and cultural beliefs as “their future husbands’ property”, and a “poor investment” as they will move into their husband’s house. Traditional gender norms confine girls and women's roles to household work, bearing and raising children rather than obtaining a higher education, seeking professional career or participating in public arenas. The traditional hierarchical teacher-student relationship and performance-oriented education system at schools, and the traditional patriarchal parent-child relationship in Hui ethnic communities lead to corporal punishment and school violence, and harmful traditional practices of children’s upbringing. This is mainly in the form of harsh physical, emotional and public verbal disciplining of children by teachers and parents. Children, school and family lack sufficient awareness and knowledge on child protection. It is therefore urgent to create a violence-free environment in schools in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, where children are able to realize their right to protection and can grow towards their full potential. Children, school and family are lacking sufficient capacity to address child protection and gender equality issues. A multi-dimensional approach is needed, involving different stakeholders. The project will support schools and its teachers to realize child protection, positive discipline and life skills, to access the available local child protection services and to change of gender stereotypes in Hui communities. Also the capacity and role of local social service organizations to advocate child rights and to provide quality child protection services will be built. The demonstration of quality child protection service and parental education training to local government will motivate government to allocate more budgets to the social and protective services for marginalized children, especially girls in the Hui/Muslim community. Children, especially the girls from Hui community, will be empowered to develop their full potentials as a citizen. Training in self-protection and life skills, including gender equality, will help them to understand their rights, to identify their roles and responsibilities, to voice and act for themselves, and to access child care and protection services. In 1992, the Chinese government ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Recent governmental actions include the National Law on the Protection of Minors (2007), the National Program for the Development of Chinese Children (2011-2020) , Guidance of Prevention on Bullying and Violence in schools (2016), the Outline for the Development of Women (2011-2020), and the first national anti-domestic violence law (2015). Nevertheless, the status of child protection is still not positive enough due to the lack of child protection services and an efficient child protection system at national and local levels. Responsibilities are fragmented between various government institutions; no particular agency is held accountable for improving the child protection status in China. This project is aiming at strengthening a school-focused protective environment, including local social service organizations, targeted schools and regional government, through the promotion of positive discipline and quality child protection services. Secondly, the project is aiming to set up a replicable model and to advocate to the education authorities in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The project will directly benefit 6,000 girls and boys (48%, 52%) of grade 1 till 9, especially in the 6 targeted schools in Litong District, Wuzhong Municipality. 20 local social service organizations, including 4 social workers, will have increased awareness of child protection and gender equality, and capacity to provide technical support on positive discipline and life skills to schools and communities. The awareness and capacity of 30 teachers (60% female) and 20 government officials will directly be built in gender equality and child protection. Result 1: 20 local social service organizations, including 4 social workers, have increased awareness of child protection and gender equality, and capacity to provide technical support on positive discipline and life skills to schools and communities. • Study tour for best practice for local social service organisations and key partners at Municipality, County/District and school level • Development of curriculum and training model on positive discipline and life skills • Capacity building of 20 local social service organisations (CSOs), including 4 social workers, and improvement in the supply of child development services Result 2: A gender-sensitive protective environment is established in 6 targeted schools through improved awareness and capacity of teachers and through child participation. • Training on positive discipline, child protection, gender equality and life skills for teachers and local government education authorities. • Information, education and communication (IEC) activities for students, and indirect for their parents/caregivers, at target schools on positive discipline, child protection, gender equality and life skills. • Technical support for teachers on positive discipline and life skills • Establishment of Child Advisory Committees and children participation in activities related to self-protection, gender equality and life skills • School-to-school communications and inter-school exchange visits around the application of child protection, gender equality and life skills Result 3: A replicable model is summarized and advocated to education authorities (Ningxia Education Bureau and Women’s Federation) in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. • Development of a paper that summarizes the project lessons learned, the replicable model and recommendations for scale up • Advocacy workshop targeting local education authorities to promote best practices and discuss the possibilities for scaling up the model The project is building on the existing structures, duties and resources of key partners. With this project, working on positive discipline, positive parental education and social inclusion will become natural in school management. Strengthening children, and their families and communities, on child protection and gender equality will also lead to more demand to access child care and protection services. The achievements of implementing partner Ningxia Charity Promotion Association, local social service organizations and the targeted schools will be formally recognized by their governmental supervision department. A successful project model and best practices will be advocated at municipal and regional level aiming to be replicated in other geographic areas or even at higher governmental level. The demonstration of qualitative child protection service and parental education training will hopefully motivate the government to allocate more budget to social and protective services for marginalized children, especially girls in the Hui/Muslim community.

Gender inequality is slowing down the transition towards inclusive growth due to women’s limited access to education/employment. In January 2018 Plan International Philippines started Wired4Work! (W4W). A 3 year innovative Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) programme that leverages scalable digital solutions to increase the capacity of practitioners in reaching youth in high quality employment. W4W is focused on vulnerable youth (16-29 years old), especially women, in NCR, Cebu, Tacloban and Mindoro who acquire vocational, soft and work readiness skills to successfully enter the labour market. By the end of 2020, 3,600 disadvantaged youth will be trained and 2,700 will have access to decent employment. ILO estimates that 392 million young people have any form of education, employment and training (NEET). Half of those young people live in South Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific. These numbers continue to rise, underlining the urgent need to address global youth unemployment. In the Philippines youth unemployment is 12.8% for young men and 14.5% for young women. Young people face a persistent challenge of jobs mismatch, where their education or training does not match market demand. Despite making up half of the total population, prevailing gender norms affect the participation of young women in the labour market, with young women representing only 39% of the total youth workforce in 2016. Wired4Work will focus on the following components: 1. Private sector engagement: consisted on the creation of shared value implementation approaches and partnerships with private & public sector actors, training institutions and community-based organizations to increase the job opportunities of youth and develop effective market-driven training curricula to fill in the gap between the offer of trainings and the demand needed in the labour market. 2. Youth skills development and empowerment: Digitally enhanced YEE training solutions are developed, leveraged and scaled to enable vulnerable youth, especially young women, to pursue employment and economic empowerment opportunities. Online modules of the training curricula are developed in the demonstration countries and scaled up to other countries through the YES!ACADEMY (e-learning platform). 3. Enabling environment for youth employment, by strengthening alliances and networks: Through regional and local influence, advocacy and support, this component will facilitate and lead alliances that favour greater inclusion in the labour market for vulnerable youth, especially young women. This component is focused on engaging multiple actors/alliances to create an enabling environment for effective youth employment programming. Plan will also offer youth themselves a platform to participate and influence both public and private policy development. 4. Program quality and innovation to leverage impact The improvement and further development of the YES!DIGITAL Ecosystem of Plan International will bring high quality youth employment initiatives to scale, building capacity of Plan International offices to integrate the Digital Ecosystem assets into their YEE programs, and expanding them with additional services to evolve programs into a full circle digitally enhanced approach. New innovations are developed, especially the YES!CNEXT (match platform for job seekers and companies jobs) using a Human Centered Design approach. Wired4Work is built on assets developed by Plan international since 2011 in alliance with one of its partners from the private sector that has resulted in the training of more than 15,000 youth and the transition of more than 12,000 youth into decent work across Asia and Latin America. These assets include the market scan methodology, YES!ME (direct beneficiary monitoring) system and assessment of high level requirements for e-learning management systems. In multiple strategic partnerships with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank’s Solutions for Youth Employment (S4YE) Coalition, Plan International is working together with other parties of the private and public sector to catalyse new public-private sector partnerships and support new innovative programs for youth economic empowerment. Plan international Philippines works closely together with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) in previous youth empowerment projects in the areas of implementation of Wired4Work!. These organisations are mandated by law to facilitate skills training and employment facilitation in the country and play a critical role in ensuring that young people are equipped with the proper skills and are linked through the proper channels. Plan International Philippines will target 3,600 vulnerable and marginalised youth aged 18-29 from urban and rural areas in Cebu, Mindoro, Tacloban and National Capital Region (NCR) with a participation of 50% young women. In particular, Plan will focus on youth neither educated, employed (NEETs), senior high school students and youth enrolled in secondary and TVET (technical and vocational education training) schools. The following work plan is considered to lead to the targets and outputs of the project: Component 1: private sector engagement o Conduct a market scan in all implementation areas to determine the labor market trends and opportunities for the target group of vulnerable youth. o Establish agreements with private sector partners to ensure commitment towards hiring youth trained by Plan International, develop traineeship and upskilling opportunities, and create robust mechanisms to link vulnerable youth, particularly young women to opportunities for employment. o Engage with stakeholders to jointly develop market-based and digitally enhanced curricula and training programs. o Create shared value business with companies. Component 2: Youth skills development and empowerment o Development and scaling up digitally enhanced training modules o Development of a strategy for youth recruitment o Equipping youth with technical and vocational skills o Placement of youth in jobs o Create mechanism for community support for youth Component 3: o Engage multiple actors/alliances to create an enabling environment for effective youth employment programming. o Offer youth a platform to participate and influence both public and private policy development. o Utilize big data to support and showcase project impact in a reliable, robust and credible way, and to scale up high quality project components and move toward evidence based influence advocacy. Component 4: o Enhance Alumni engagement by creating a digital platform (or space) which enables students to scale up the network and Capacity building for alumni associations. Plan has secured and allotted funding for at least 10 countries for 2018-2020 to roll out different pieces of the Ecosystem to support programming. But as a key component for the implementation of Plan’s Global Strategic Framework on Youth Employment, Entrepreneurship and Empowerment (YEE), Plan envisions the global adoption of (pieces of the) Ecosystem, with each country office using at least one component for their programs. This will require a comprehensive analysis of the capacities and resources needed to rollout, manage and sustain the effort. Hence, Plan will be undertaking the development of a growth and governance strategy, which would complement the Global Strategic Framework and include the development of a viable business model (e.g. commercial; social enterprise model, such as the open source cooperative; data as an asset; or others) that will guide the organization in securing the resources that will sustain the YES!DIGITAL Ecosystem’s operation and growth.

By the end of 2020, 14,000 disadvantaged youth will be trained and 5,700 will have access to decent employment. Over the next decade, more than one billion youth across Asia will enter the labour force, with the potential to be the region’s greatest resource for sustainable economic and social growth. But they face an uncertain landscape, with over 33 million youth struggling to find jobs, and 48% of employers reporting difficulties to fill vacancies due to the lack of medium/high skilled applicants. This skills gap reflects pronounced weaknesses in the policies and systems designed to boost skills development, where youth across the region simply do not receive the right skills to facilitate their transition into decent work. Decision-makers and institutions underestimate the importance of aligning skills training with labour market needs, neglecting to engage private sector and local communities in Technical & Vocational Education & Training (TVET) planning and design. Also, while integration of ICT in training curricula and processes is key to raising worker productivity and preparing for jobs of the future, ICT is still under-utilized. Gender inequalities in the region’s labour market are slowing the transition towards inclusive growth. Estimates suggest that the region loses up to $77 billion USD per year due to gender gaps in education and women’s limited access to employment opportunities, education and financial services. While women’s performance in various Asian labour markets may vary, women overall are under-represented in formal employment and over-represented in unemployment rates, low-skilled, low-paid and unpaid work.

Plan will focus on youth neither educated, employed (NEETs), senior high school students and youth enrolled in secondary and TVET (technical and vocational education training) schools. The following work plan is considered on a regional level to lead to the targets and outputs of the project: Private sector engagement o Update and conduct digital market scans to ensure the collection of labour market information with companies and private sector partners are relevant and up-to-date. o Develop YES!ACADEMY (e-learning platform) modules with private sector input. o Establish Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with private sector actors as advocacy partners for the economic inclusion of women and youth. Enabling environment for youth employment o Establish strategic and influential alliances on gender-transformative and decent work policies and youth economic inclusion. o Establish collaborations within and external to Plan International for data collection and analysis, including the dissemination of accessible and accurate labour market information. o Identify and adopt data-driven approaches for advocacy and influencing activities. Program quality and innovation o Develop and adopt a set of gender-transformative criteria to guide youth employment programming in the region. o Enhance Monitoring and Evaluation and improve project design through integrated data collection and analysis o Strengthen the capacity of Plan offices and partners in executing digitally-enhanced youth employment programming. o Develop of new innovations such as the annual ‘Innovation Accelerator’ process to incubate and accelerate new, demand-driven and gender sensitive o Research and develop a YES!DIGITAL Ecosystem growth strategy for its long-term viability. o Enhance alumni engagement by creating a digital platform (or space) which enables students to scale up the network and Capacity building for alumni associations. o Upscale the YES!DIGITAL Ecosystem to other Plan offices.

It ran from Nov 1st 2017 to April 30th 2018 to respond to the needs of Rohingya refugees, especially children, who fled from Myanmar due to the extreme violence. It intends to provide access to live-saving (child) protection services for vulnerable children such as unaccompanied and separated children, child Gender Based Violence survivors, former children associated with armed forces and groups and other children at risk. It aims at preventing child abuse, including GBV. It also intends to provide access to sanitation, with mainly construction of latrines and distribution of household hygiene kits.

This action focuses on providing empowering and tailored services for adolescents such as life skills, education support and case management. In Lebanon, adolescent boys and girls from refugee (Syrian, Palestinian, Iraqi) and host communities face significant risks such as child labour and child marriage. To address this, a protective environment is created for these adolescents through critical tailored support to navigate this adolescent transition period which holds physical, emotional, social and behavioural changes, coupled with the upheaval that follows displacement. With a strong focus on gender equality and GBV in all project components, Plan uses specific strategies to reach adolescent girls and provides mobile services to homebound girls unable to access community centres. The situation for Syrian refugees in Lebanon is dire: family savings are depleted and humanitarian aid is not sufficient to cover rent and costs of food, health and other basic needs. Syrian refugees have very limited opportunities for self-reliance, as their rights to work in Lebanon are significantly constrained. Syrians report that while living in exile in Lebanon, they experience social and economic exclusion, high levels of discrimination and a sense of insecurity. The Syria crisis continues to have a devastating impact on Syrian children. The displacement situation has severely undermined parents’ and families’ ability to care for and protect children; financial desperation leads parents to resort to negative coping strategies. Coping mechanisms directly affecting children included restricting children’s access to education, early child marriage, resorting to child labour and begging. The movement of children away from families is widespread. Refugee boys move away from their families to work and find work whilst refugee girls are moving away doing domestic work, or for early marriage or to live with other relatives. Syrian boys and girls in their adolescence (between the age of 11 and 18 years) form a particularly vulnerable group. Due to the harsh conditions and poverty, adolescent boys and girls are more likely to drop out of school and experience violence, abuse, and exploitation such as child labour (mainly for boys), child marriage (mainly for girls), and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) . Additionally, adolescents (girls and boys) often fall between cracks of humanitarian services such as education, health and protection services, as they neither ‘fit’ in targeted services for children, nor in those for adults. The project follows the ecological model and the global CPiE Results Framework that centers children in the middle of different environmental support systems, e.g. family, community, services, society, policy & legislation (see figure). This project focuses mainly on adolescents, their caregivers and community-based support mechanisms (e.g youth groups, religious and community leaders, the CBO) and local services. By promoting an empowering and protective environment for adolescent girls and boys, this project aims to address protection concerns affecting Syrian refugee, Lebanese and other nationality adolescents in North Lebanon. At-risk girls and boys are being empowered to enjoy their rights and promote gender equality through recreational and social activities, as well through life skills training generating positive knowledge, skills on protection issues, including CP, GBV, gender equality and sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR). Parents and caregivers of at-risk adolescent children will be made aware of child protection risks and available services, and supported to take actions to prevent and respond to child protection violations including child marriage and child labour. Key figures in the community such as cultural and religious leaders, members of CBOs, youth activists and other influencers will be trained to support this initiative through awareness raising and community-based sensitization to prevent and respond to child protection concerns including child marriage and child labour. A limited number of adolescent girls and boys in high risk and their families will be directly supported with case management to access needed services including education and/or economic incentives to prevent and respond to child marriage, child labour and other forms of gender based violence and exploitation.

NL-KVK-41198890-NGA100049 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY This project was implemented between January 1 and December 31, 2018. The programmatic focus of NJR4 was in line with the UN Humanitarian Response Plan 2017 and centered around the sectors with the highest needs: Child Protection and Nutrition. In 2018, new waves of displacement added to the already high number of people in North East Nigeria who fled their homes. These movements presented major humanitarian challenges, as resources were often already overstretched in the locations where these civilians arrived. Plan focused on boys and girls under 18 years old and aimed to add value by contributing to a holistic and coordinated joint response. Partners operated in the same locations complementing each other’s activities. Strategic objectives are to save lives and alleviate suffering through integrated and coordinated humanitarian response focusing on the most vulnerable people. Plan worked in the locations of Mafa (sector Nutrition) and Askira Uba (sectors Nutrition and Protection). The current conflict has resulted in significant protection risks for women, girls, men and boys. Child nutrition in Nigeria has improved in recent years, but around 11 million children under the age of five are stunted. There are regional and social disparities, with particularly high levels of stunting in the north-east and north-west and among the poorest quintile. Stunting is what happens to a child’s brain and body when they don’t get the right kind of food or nutrients in their first 1,000 days of life. It is irreversible.Malnutrition is the underlying cause of morbidity and mortality of a large proportion of children under five in Nigeria, and accounts for >50% of deaths of children in this age bracket. People have limited access to basic and life sustaining essentials such as food, water and health services due to the crisis. In combination with limited access to humanitarian assistance (providing mentioned essentials), the situation is expected to remain dire with the potential to deteriorate even more in some areas. In addition, limited access to food, and adequate water and sanitation, as well very poor IYCF-E and hygiene practices have contributed to high malnutrition rates among infants and young children. To address this need, Plan will be implementing CMAM and IYCF activities through mobile and static facilities. Amongst the 6.1 million people identified in need of protection assistance in the HRP 2017, only 2.1 million people have been reached with protection assistance. 99% percent of the IDPs still lack documentation, preventing them from access to basic services. Displacement has exacerbated pre-conflict Gender Based Violence (GBV) occurrences and a wide range of sexual violence has taken place. People abducted by Boko Haram and survivors of rape and children born out of sexual violence face stigmatization and are subsequently ostracized. In many communities, the absence of men and adolescent boys and an increase in female-headed households reveals the prevalence of arrest and forced recruitment, which heightens the risk of GBV and other protection risks. Despite efforts to increase awareness among affected communities on the dangers of GBV and avenues for accessing help, of the 2.5 million people in need of GBV protection, a mere 653,350 persons have been reached in 2017. The number of children who have been severely impacted by the conflict and in critical need of Child Protection assistance, increased from 2.4 million in 2017 to 3.3 million in October 2017 – especially amongst the IDP population. Beneficiaries: - malnourished children (SAM and MAM) - Pregnant and lactating women - Un-accompany children and children associated with atmed group reached with appropriate response and children in CFS provided with PSS support - women and men reached with protection information - Community leaders and volunteers trained on child protection Plan International Nigeria Plan International Netherlands Save the Children Nederland Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Emergency food aid Material relief assistance and services Protection and Assistance in Emergencies (Disaster Risk Management) Gender Equality THRIVE - Protection 884431 19808 559578 Save the Children Nederland 412344 Save the Children Nederland -412344 Save the Children Nederland 326421 Save the Children Nederland 90484 Save the Children Nederland 57293 Save the Children Nederland -57293 Save the Children Nederland 843739 Plan International Nigeria 84431 Plan International Nigeria 400000 Plan International Nigeria 400000 Plan International Nigeria 114 414 2083 114 1066 1200 71 13366 1582 Humanitarian support: nutrition IYCF KAP Endline Survey targeting 298 women to ascertan infant and young child feeding practice and attitude among the caregivers Humanitarian support: nutrition Humanitarian support: nutrition Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection NL-KVK-41198890-BRA100207 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Girls and young women in developing countries often face two substantial obstacles: teenage pregnancies and child marriages. The project La League Champions of Change (LL-CoC) empowers girls and young women to overcome these obstacles. The project, which has football (soccer) at its heart, is being implemented from January 2018 till July 2021 in 9 communities in Codó region, Brazil. It pilots a model that takes girls’ football to a higher level; as a sport and a driver for girls’ empowerment. Football is used to transform gender norms and raise awareness on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Next to actively involving girls (aged 12-24), fathers and boys are strongly involved in this project to support these girls and the social change they bring about. This project is part of a broader pilot programme carried out in Nicaragua and the Netherlands, where Plan International is partnering with the Cruyff Foundation and Women Win. Every year, over 700 million women worldwide are married before they are 18 and about 16 million girls under 19 give birth. Becoming a wife and mother so young has far-reaching consequences. It causes early school dropout, increases the risk of exploitation, sexual and domestic violence and abuse, as well as death at childbirth. Holding girls back like this and endangering their lives negatively impacts a country’s overall development. In the largely male-oriented Latin America, girls often mistakenly believe that early marriage and pregnancy are their best escape from poverty and domestic violence. In Brazil, as in many countries, traditionally represents the masculine scene. Girls are in general not allowed to participate in football by their parents or male peers. Research from the UNDP shows that Brazil is the number 4 country in the world when it comes to absolute number of teenage pregnancy cases. In Brazil, machismo contributes to sexual violence. Many pregnant teenagers have been victims of sexual abuse. But unwanted teenage pregnancies also occur because girls in remote areas have no access to SRHR education and services to prevent pregnancy. In Brazil the pregnancy rate for adolescent girls is 18%. Even higher rates can be found in communities where Plan works, going up to 31%. Ironically, Brazil also holds the fourth highest absolute number in child marriages worldwide. In the emerging body of evidence on child and adolescent marriage in Central and Latin America, Brazil stands out due to the sharp contrast between the country’s high ranking in terms of absolute numbers and the lack of research on the subject. According to one estimate, Brazil is ranked the fourth country in the world in absolute numbers of girls married or living together with a partner by age 15, with 877,000 women ages 20 to 24 years reporting having married by age 15 (11 percent). Also among women ages 20 to 24, thirty-six percent (nearly three million women) are estimate Plan, together with the Johan Cruyff Foundation (JCF) and Women Win (WW), are combining successful methods into an effective new model called La League - Champions of Change. It uses football to empower girls and make them more visible, and involves fathers and boys in supporting the freedom and equal rights of girls. It follows three pathways. 1: The social empowerment of girls By stimulating girls to play football, they will experience teamwork and become more confident. This together with the CoC methodology will empower them to seek access to quality SRHR information and services so they can take informed actions on their sexual health, thus avoiding teenage pregnancies and early marriage. 2: The involvement of males To transform gender norms and raise awareness on SRHR, we are mobilising boys, fathers and other strong male role models to support girls, in football and in other important life choices. Plan's successful Champions of Change method will promote gender equality and this will be amplified by JCF’s ‘Heroes of the Cruyff Courts’. Community members will be actively encouraged to foster positive attitudes towards gender equality so they are committed to end child marriages and teenage pregnancies 3: The economic empowerment of girls Based on WW’s Leadership and Economic Empowerment Pathway (LEEP) the project will boost girls’ economic empowerment by creating income-generating opportunities centred around football. They can, for example, become coaches or referees or perhaps obtain scholarships to become professional footballers. Football will thus help change gender roles and create awareness for the negative effects of teenage pregnancies and child marriages. And not just for girls, but for everyone. Direct beneficiaries: 350 girls become champions of change between the age of 12 to 24 175 boys become champions of change between the age of 12 to 24 50 girls (out of the 350) are empowered economically around the sports Market and its value chain 175 engaged fathers and men Indirect beneficiaries: 750 community members are committed to improve gender equality in their daily lives 250.000 general public aware of program In the preparation phase (3 months): - Recruit project team; - A start-up meeting will be held with the participation of all stakeholders involved, including: Plan regional office of the Americas, Plan Brazil, Plan Holland, Cryuff Foundation and WomenWin; - The La League – Champions of Change methodology is developed, and trainers are trained; - La League project team is trained in the LEEP methodology and Heroes methodology; - A baseline study will be conducted regarding the incidence of teenage pregnancy and child marriage in the selected communities; - 01 market study if developed and conducted by external consultant; In the implementation phase (30 month): - 525 Both boys and girl’s champions of change workshop sessions are held; - Weekly football training with the 350 girls that are Champions of Change; - Groups of boys/girls, led by girls and supported by father’s design and carry out community events to raise awareness about the harmful practices of child marriage and teenage pregnancy and other project thematic among their peers and in their communities, reaching other 750 peer boys and girls; -750 community members are engaged and committed to improve gender equality in their daily lives; - La League project team is trained in Heroes methodology; - 50 girls are selected and trained in economic empowerment LEEP methodology and have access to sports related opportunities (courses, jobs, internships, informal initiatives, technical trainings); - Engaging 175 fathers, brothers and other male figures through girl’s football activities; - 35 number father/daughter events have been organised; - 02 La League tournaments at local level are organized; - 01 Public campaign is held on the impact of girl’s football and gender equality in Brazil; - 09 Football pitches are made fit for use in each community and teams are set up; - 01 official Cryuff court is built and maintained in one central community in the Codó region. 1. The empowerment of girls All project interventions aim to strengthen girls’ and boys’ capacity as agents of change, thus driving change in their communities. Girls will acquire leadership skills that will be essential to ensuring the sustainability of the activities once the direct intervention period has ended. Reaching out to fathers male role models will help assure the presence of an enabling environment. 2. Connecting with local stakeholders During this pilot, Plan will connect with all stakeholders, from local up to national, and even international level. Including parents, schools, sports clubs and community leaders in our actions and reaching out to national football clubs, sports and education ministries. These stakeholders will be invited to adopt the girls’ football teams and integrate the methodology into their own spaces. 3. Developing, systemising and scaling-up effective methodology After this pilot project has ended it will be thoroughly evaluated with the aim to upscale this programme. This, so that this La League goes beyond the borders of the communities of this single project. Together with our partners, Plan aims to roll out girls’ football for gender equality globally. La League is therefore not only a method; it is also a movement for girls’ football worldwide that other NGOs, corporate partners, sports clubs and government agencies can join. Because then we can - together - empower as much girls and young women as possible through football.

The project La League Champions of Change (LL-CoC) empowers girls and young women to overcome these obstacles. The project, which has football (soccer) at its heart, is being implemented in Nicaragua (July 2017 – December 2019) and Brazil (January 2018 – July 2021). It pilots a model that takes girls’ football to a higher level; as a sport and a driver for girls’ empowerment. Football is used to transform gender norms and raise awareness on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The Regional Office Americas has supported this project by conducting a regional study on Child Marriage and by developing a methodology that actively involves fathers and male role models. This project is part of a broader pilot programme carried out in Nicaragua and the Netherlands, where Plan International is partnering with the Cruyff Foundation and Women Win. Every year, over 700 million women worldwide are married before they are 18 and about 16 million girls under 19 give birth. Becoming a wife and mother so young has far-reaching consequences. It causes early school dropout, increases the risk of exploitation, sexual and domestic violence and abuse, as well as death at childbirth. Holding girls back like this and endangering their lives negatively impacts a country’s overall development. In the largely male-oriented Latin America, girls often mistakenly believe that early marriage and pregnancy are their best escape from poverty and domestic violence.

NL-KVK-41198890-ZMB100153 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Of the 70 million girls affected by child marriages in the world, seven million child brides live in the Region of East and Southern Africa. The project takes a multi-level, holistic approach to identify and address the root causes or ‘drivers’ of child, early and forced marriages (CEFM) as well as relevant agents of change at all levels. Currently five Plan country offices (Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Tanzania) participate in this initiative and link their country programmes on ECM toward this regional linking & learning initiative. This programme is a 4 year program, started in 2017. Deep-rooted norms and expectations of girls and boys makes families and communities feel the need to control the sexuality of girls by marrying them off. Gender inequality is putting girls in a subordinate position with regard to boys and men in (sexual) relationships and the value given to a girl’s life and future. Girls and boys lack a voice, as well as the support to break through these norms and practices. The means and structures available for adolescents to organise themselves and claim their rights are limited, they have little access to adolescent-friendly and good quality SRHR information and services and lack support from policies and legislation addressing child marriage. Legislation to outlaw EM is either inadequate or is being poorly implemented. The enabling legal and policy environment to protect girls is in all the East and Southern African countries at varying degrees of addressing the problem van ECM. The engagement of traditional leaders in SADC council conference during the first phase of 18+ resulted into a regional strategy and Model Law. Together with girls, traditional leaders have initiated a movement to tackle child marriage in the sub-region. Social and gender norms perpetuating ECM are deeply embedded in communities and this situation can only be changed if community leaders and most of the people support the change. Key persons in the communities, including boys and men, will be turned into allies in the process of changing these norms, thereby helping to address the problem of ECM. Girls will be supported to advocate for their rights and start intergenerational dialogues. This will result in change of negative gender norms and people’s behaviour, strengthened networks and structures for social mobilisation and embedded in communities. By involving the government and influential persons an enabling legal and policy environment to protect girls from child marriages will be achieved. The second phase of 18+ programme in Southern Africa (2016-2019) will build on the successes and best practices of the initial action with a focus on two strategic objectives 1.) Transforming, through social movement-building, the gender norms and practices that drive child marriage and teenage pregnancy, and 2.) Facilitating an enabling legal and policy environment to protect girls from child marriage. Given the effectiveness of its approach, 18+ will continue to work at three different levels of change: sub-regional, national, and community level. In collaboration with Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and other regional CSOs, the SADC Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage and Protecting Children already in Marriage was developed. The model law will provide guidance to parliamentarians, policymakers, and other stakeholders in SADC countries as they develop national laws to curb the practice and protect children already in marriage. Further efforts are needed for influencing so that governments improve and implement laws, policies and budgets for adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights as well as for communities to take action to eliminate harmful gender norms and practices. Final beneficiaries are girls between the age of 12 – 24 years, married and unmarried in the East and Southern African countries. Activity 1.1: Develop guidance, strengthening coordination, coherence, and support a sub-regional social movement of girls and young women on ending child marriage Activity 1.2: Coordination and rolling out of the Champions of Change approach to transform harmful social norms and advance gender equality and girls’ rights Activity 1.3: Building awareness, strengthening capacities and empowerment of girls and young women activists through their participation in regional conferences to prevent unwanted pregnancies and early marriages as well as promote their full and effective political participation Activity 1.4: Building capacity of the members of the movement on gender equality and girls’ rights, including Youth Advisory Panels (YAP) members, on documentation of change, critical thinking, and social media for influencing. Activity 2.1: Facilitation of in-country workshops for domesticating the model law on ending child marriage and challenging stereotypes amongst government officials, technocrats, and other key actors in collaboration with SADC–PF Activity 2.2: Continuation of strategic engagement and influencing with SADC traditional leaders to implement the model law and accelerate social norm change to tackle child marriage in communities Activity 2.3: Work with SADC journalists for continued coverage of child marriage in the media to highlight the urgency to tackle child marriage and promoting the value of girls in society amongst the general public 18+ will be sustainable by working to build girls’ and boys’ capabilities and prompt their inclusion and active role in the realisation of their rights. Furthermore, enabling structures, relations, and agency will be created in order to positively affect girls’ lives and tackle child marriage effectively. In this regard, the project will provide girls with spaces to define their own goals in cooperation with their families and communities and build a social movement for changing power relations, so girls in the sub-region can raise their voice and claim their rights in order to change the negative harmful gender norms.

In order to make sure that youth, especially young women, are allowed to participate in the project and enter the trainings, it is crucial to address the importance of education, equal op¬portunities and girls’ rights in the communities and with the cultural leaders. The project will work with 400 marginalized young women and men to develop their market-relevant technical and vocational skills. They will receive trainings on life skills to build confidence, personal/leadership skills and knowledge of important life topics, as well as on business and work readiness skills. The project is implemented by Plan International Uganda and a local partner organization CPA since February 2018 and will last for three years. In Alebtong District, 34% of its population is aged 15-24 years, of which less than 5% are formally employed, 10% work in the informal sector, and over 80% are unemployed or underemployed in subsistence agriculture with low productivity and low value-added. Access to vocational training is limited, because marginalised women and men often lack the required levels of formal education, numeracy and literacy skills, in order to enrol in standard courses offered by the Vocational Training Institutes (VTIs). On the supply side, VTIs often lack capacity and quality to offer courses tailored to the needs and levels of education of marginalised youth. There is a mismatch between what the institutions are producing and market demand. Also, the private sector lacks understanding about the untapped potential of marginalised young women and men. Some informal training opportunities are available via apprenticeships with local artisan workplaces. For these apprenticeships no fees nor formal education is required, but the informal nature of the system means they are not widely available or publicized. Artisan workplaces can offer the required technical knowledge to acquire the right skills for employability. However there is limited institutional support to assure quality of the apprenticeships. Various root causes prevent youngsters from improving their situation. Cost, time, gender norms and deeply-rooted socio-cultural stereotypes are barriers for youth to find employment. Cost and time are especially relevant for youth from low income families, as they depend on young people to contribute income and fulfil household tasks. Also, community leaders and members often promote negative gender socio-cultural stereotypes, aggravating gender inequality and encouraging harmful traditional attitudes and practices, such as early marriage and teenage pregnancies, all preventing girls and women from realizing their potential. In order to make sure that youth, especially young women, are allowed to participate in the project and enter the trainings, it is crucial to address the importance of educational, equal providing opportunities for girls and girls’ rights in the communities. First, leading community members such as cultural leaders are sensitized on gender issues, youth economic exclusion and education. Subsequently these leaders are facilitated to engage with their respective communities to address the above mentioned issues through community dialogues. To decrease the distance between young people and the private sector, this project will create public-private forums, enabling them to identify opportunities for collaboration which are mutually beneficial. By creating links between VTIs and businesses, and working with these businesses, development plans for work placements will be established. The project will work with 400 marginalised young women and men to develop their market-relevant technical and vocational skills. They will receive trainings on life skills to build confidence, personal/leadership skills and knowledge of important life topics, as well as on business and work readiness skills. Youth completing the vocational courses will be linked with the private sector for internships to build practical experience, confidence, and workplace skills. By providing institutional support to VTIs, they will also learn to adapt courses to market-demand and the needs of marginalised young people. Artisans will be supported to develop high quality, structured learning programmes. As well as improving course and learning programme content, capacity building will sensitise VTIs and artisans on topics such as gender equality to promote equal opportunities. Via the Girls Advocacy Alliance (GAA) programme funded by the Dutch government, youth in the same communities are trained as Agents of Change, enabling them to actively promote decent work opportunities for youth and gender equality among their peers and in their communities. In addition, private sector actors like companies are encouraged to employ marginalized youth. All this will facilitate their participation in the project and, combined with the example set by these young people, promote attitude change in communities which will benefit young people beyond the lifetime of the project. 400 youth aged 18-35 (70% female) will benefit directly from the project by receiving training and being linked to employment opportunities Besides the youth, two VTIs and 10 artisans will be engaged as direct beneficiaries. They will be selected for courses and apprenticeships by the local stakeholders. We will enter into dialogue with 48 influential cultural leaders at community level to address various negative social-cultural norms, gender stereotypes that perpetuate gender inequality, and the importance of education and youth empowerment. These cultural leaders will be facilitated to engage with the communities to address the above mentioned issues during 48 dialogues over the 3 years. This will create awareness and support in the communities. Meetings with parents, especially fathers, will be organized to raise awareness on the project and highlight barriers affecting young women and men, including cultural norms, attitudes and gender stereotypes that hinder equal access to training and employment opportunities. The project will identify 400 marginalized young women and men (70% female), of which 200 youths will be linked to practical vocational training at an artisan workplace and another 200 linked to VTIs for technical and vocational training. Identification will be done with key stakeholders including local government leaders, community leaders, young people, women’s groups, parents and guardians to ensure that genuine an deserving applicants are selected. This will reduce the risk of youth dropping out of school to benefit from the opportunity. It will also ensure that a fair selection process takes place and some of the most marginalised young people in communities will benefit from the project. Career guidance sessions will be held with each youth to help identify the best work placement opportunity in line with their skills and personal dreams. This will contribute to realistic expectations and commitment to the work placement, which will lead to sustainability of the project as students and work places are better matched. Based on the gender analysis done at the start of the project, specific gender related barriers are identified which may hamper participation of girls and young women. If necessary, specific interventions will be formulated to address these barriers – such as arranging childcare during training hours. 200 marginalised young people will be enrolled in 3-6 month courses at two VTIs. Courses will be based on those identified in the market analysis as appropriate to local market needs, and for which the curriculum has been developed and adapted to the skills gaps of marginalized young people. A deliberate effort will be made to improve equality in participation of girls and to address gender stereotypes by encouraging both young men and women to embrace the available skills development programme. 200 marginalised young women and men (90% female) will take up practical vocational training through apprenticeships in artisan workplaces, lasting around 3 months. The apprenticeships will be guided by the learning programmes developed in activity 2.1.4, to ensure structured learning, and by signing MoUs with Plan to ensure working conditions are in line with the existing labour law, that youth are not exploited, and that all apprentices receive equal treatment and equal opportunity. Apprenticeships provide on-the-job training, where apprentices learn both a specific trade and core skills and competencies, such as professionalism, punctuality and business skills. They provide community-based learning, so those who might struggle to attend VTIs which are relatively far away can access further training. Further, they do not require the same levels of education as VTI courses, enabling access to training for those with very low education levels. Young people who graduate from apprenticeships or VTI courses will receive a start-up kit (e.g. a tool kit) relevant to their chosen profession. Plan’s experience with the EU-funded “Youth Economic Empowerment Project” (YEEP) shows that after graduation, young people struggle to find work immediately, as they cannot afford the equipment necessary to start a business or join an existing business. Also, potential employers often expect labourers to bring their own tools. Forums will be created to link up the VTIs and the private sector. We aim to involve 15 (small) businesses in total. Some of these will also provide mentors for the students. With their experience, they will be able to guide youth on topics such as business start-up and how to market or add value to a product/service. Additionally, they will provide job placement opportunities. Our experience shows that mentoring is very powerful in inspiring and building the skills and confidence of young people. The students who successfully completed the VTI courses will be linked to a work placement, relevant to their course. A total of 320 placements are aimed to be offered. Work placements enhance employability as employers value practical experience, as well as skills developed in training courses. They also enable young people to develop basic work competencies, like punctuality and professionalism. All 400 young women and men will be trained in life-skills for their personal development. The benefits to be delivered will have an effect on the target group lasting beyond the lifetime of this project. The economic assets that the youngsters will acquire, marks the beginning of their upward social-economic mobility. During the project local capacity building will be a key focus. Vocational staff will be acquainted with market driven, competency based vocational education and private sector involvement. After the project, they will continue to support skills development for youngsters in the communities. Further, alumni networks will be trained to support and pass on knowledge to their younger peers. Linkages between the Vocational Training Institutes and private sector will continue to exist, which will enable future job placement. Within the 3 years period the private sector shall have developed responsibility in vocational training, as the private sector will be one of the main beneficiaries in a long perspective through an increasing number of high qualified personnel. By engaging parents, teachers, the private sector and the community on issues such as the importance of education, especially for girls and gender inequality, (girls’) access to education will be improved and long-term change of social gender norms promoted. The link with private sector and with the advocacy initiatives under the Girls Advocacy Alliance (GAA) Programme will help to promote this holistic approach, so that it can be replicated in other regions. Additionally, the project will be implemented in collaboration with the district departments including Community Service and Education. As a sustainability strategy, this will ensure that the District officials are well familiar with and are in a position to follow up on the young women and men even after the project has ended. The District departments will be involved in identification process of the young women and men, follow up, mentoring and conducting some components of life skills training.

This has an effect on the school participation, especially amongst girls. Without WASH facilities in school, the participation rate is low and without education, girls cannot become financially independent and are more prone to child marriage or teen pregnancy. The project wants to achieve good school WASH facilities and higher school participation rate, especially for girls. Sustainability is ensured by strengthening gender equality, improving capacity and governance within schools, and local administration. The two years project runs at 6 primary schools in 6 communities of Bahir Dar Zuria district, Amhara National Regional State, in 2018 and 2019. Construction and capacity building with specific training are the main mechanisms. Monitoring and field level supervision by project staff will be ensured to work actively on the efficiency, sense of ownership and sustainability of the project. Except Wojita primary school, the schools do not have any water facility. This has created hygiene and sanitation problems which lead to health problems, leading the students to have long and repeated absenteeism from school. For girls this aggravates when menstruating. Missing classes has also negative impact on academic results which reduces the girls’ school attendance and hence forcing them to drop out from formal education. Based on the data found from the school administration, during the last 2 months of 2017 academic year, 66 students have dropped out due to lack of water facilities. None of the selected intervention schools have sex disaggregated latrines. Most of the students of both sexes defecate in open spaces in the bushes. Girls are not expected to be seen whilst using latrines during day time and also fear of the boys. The risk for Gender Based Violence is high when Open Defecation is practiced and leads as well to unwanted or early pregnancy and drop out from school and early marriage. Studies have found that 25% of girls in Ethiopia do not use any MHM products to manage their periods and isolate themselves during menstruation, because of cultural embarrassment. The preliminary survey has also indicated that most community members do not know about water treatment before use. There is an awareness gap on the practice of handwashing, i.e., before eating, food preparation, feeding child, after defecation, after cleaning baby faeces. The project is carried out because of lack of WASH facilities in schools, especially lack of menstrual hygiene services. Therefore school participation rate is low, especially amongst girls. Without schooling, girls cannot become financially independent and are more prone to child marriage or teen pregnancy. The project wants to achieve good school WASH facilities and higher school participation rate, especially for girls. Bahir Dar Zuria district is one of the nine districts in West Gojjam zone, ANRS. It is a fully rural oriented place, with few peri-urban areas. It is located around Bahir Dar, the capital city of Amhara region and has the Blue Nile fall river. After consultation with the District Education Office, Plan selected the following six schools for project intervention: Yigodi Primary School, Lata Primary School, Wonjita Primary School, Chenta Primary School, Tigeza Primary School, Wondata Primary School. The schools were selected based on the fact that they are located in Plan International Ethiopia’s sponsorship communities. Secondly, the schools were denying the children’s right to safe water, improved latrines and clean environment. Children were not practicing hand washing due to infrastructural, management and awareness problems. Girls don’t keep their hygiene during menstruation due to unavailability of separate sanitary pad changing rooms and girls’ friendly separate latrines. According to the baseline study conducted by Plan, a number of water schemes in the schools are not functioning well. Operation and maintenance problems are common. This is mainly due to lack of budget for the water schemes, poor awareness and mismanagement. There are no strong water points’ management practices, despite the availability of WASH committees. The project targets directly 6452 students and 168 Teachers Boys – 3419 Girls – 3033 Male teachers – 93 Female teachers – 75 Indirectly, the project will benefit the whole Kebeles population in which the target schools are located; through awareness raising mechanisms, IEC/BCC material production and distribution and MHM training and sanitary pad production business. Therefore, 43,846 community members (21,453 female and 22,393 male) will be indirectly addressed by this initiative. Three outcomes are desired under WASH activities. Under Outcome one, the project will construct/rehabilitate water supply schemes for drinking, hand washing, and menstrual hygiene (1 per school). Construction/rehabilitation of gender separated VIP latrine for both girls and boys (two per school, each with five cubicles) will also be done through the project. Alongside provision and installing hand washing facilities including construction of support structures, water containers, pipes and fittings (one station per block) will be done. Bearing the need for sanitary pad changing room, under the project there will be construction/ rehabilitation of rest room for adolescent girls (1 per school). The project will make sure of procurement and distribution of water treatment chemicals (powder chlorine) to target schools. In order to enhance waste management practice of the school community, the project will support for excavating solid waste collection pit. Under outcome two, provision of awareness raising training on menstrual hygiene management, and taboos, myths and facts about menstruation to boys, girls, teachers, and parents will be done to bring attitudinal and behavioral change. Facilitating meetings, campaigns and provision of support to adolescent girls, boys, teachers, and parents is also planned to deal about menstruation hygiene management. Through facilitating dialogue forums and peer to peer education among girls about menstruation and menstrual hygiene management, the project will try to address the awareness gap. It will also be complemented by development and distribution of boys and girls puberty booklets, leaflets, and posters. Boys and girls will be trained on gender equality to enable them become supportive of the girls in the schools. One activity will be incorporated to facilitate events to bring role models to share their experiences together with the clubs using drama/theatre. The project will also purchase and distribute essential MHM facilities, kits and materials for adolescent girls (like bed, chair, shelf, emergency sanitary pads, waste collection buckets, water storage buckets and soaps) at target schools. Establishing and strengthening adolescent girls association at Woreda level will be done. The will also be provided start-up fund and materials for the production of sanitary pads business so that there will be a continuous support of sanitary pads which will be availed in the constructed sanitary pad changing rooms. This includes the purchase and provision of sewing machines and accessories, clothes, sewing thread, chair, and providing training about business skill, production and management of low cost, culturally acceptable and affordable sanitary pads in schools. Under outcome three, WASH clubs and WASHCos will be established/strengthened through provision of training on practical plumbing, operation and maintenances of schemes. They will be technically supported so that they can manage the already constructed/rehabilitated water schemes. They will also be supported with pipe toolkits and spare parts for minor replacements. Stakeholders visit and monitoring will also be done through participating students, teachers, and parents at target schools which in turn will enable to influence, lobby and gain their buy-in for sustainability and scalability after the project phase out. The purpose of outcome three is beyond managing the water points during the implementation period but extends to ensuring sustainability. Description of gender activities including MHM During the project designing phase, Plan has conducted preliminary assessment through involving the girls, boys and teachers in separate groups as well as jointly together. Hence, the concerns, challenges, mitigation mechanisms were taken and the project activities were designed to address their needs. With regards to cleaning the latrines, the project has discussed with the girls and boys and has planned to establish a committee who is responsible to clean, follow up and report to the school administration. In the committee both boys and girls will be involved. However to reduce burdens on the girls, the project strategically will technically support to develop bylaws and assign responsibilities amongst the members. The project will also ensure that 50% of the membership in the schools club filled by girls and the girls will be allowed to take the management role as well. Teacher guardians and school principals will strategically support for the girls to get the leadership positions and entertain their decisive role with in the clubs. To this end, the project has designed activities for gender sensitive programing such as gender equality training for boys and girls, construction of segregated VIP latrines, construction of MHM rooms, purchase and distribute MHM facilities and material supply and support girls to enter into business. In this way the girls’ capacity will be built and their needs will be addressed. The cl F WASHCos, care takers, PTAs, clubs will contribute money for maintenance. Water supply sources are constructed without any additional energy source, so this saves money. Constructed latrines are monitored by national school WASH guidelines, so the operational cost of the scheme is almost null. Probably small repairs and the purchase of parts of the hand pump, and latrine parts will be neccessary. Funds will be available for small repairs to the schemes. Caretakers will receive payment for their support in the project from these collected or allocated funds, which ensures their consistent support. I National policies and Local government practical implementation guidelines will be key in ensuring the long-term success of this project. The WASH Implementation Framework (WIF) has also clearly indicated the role and responsibilities of different government line offices, NGOs, and communities. E The WASH infrastructure constructed under this project will be climate resilient. T The design of the water supply schemes will be suitable to children. The project will address operational and maintenance issues, spare parts availability and affordability and arrange support mechanisms available in cases when major rehabilitation or maintenance needs arise. WASHCos and caretakers will be involved from the beginning and the necessary capacity building trainings will be organized. S Community mobilization and active participation were used for input. The need was identified, activities designed, and type of the scheme decided. Meetings will be organized regularly to create awareness, manage and maintain the schemes. Lastly the community is mobilized for social ownership, care taking,girl/female participation, entertaining leadership and also mainstreaming gender equality.

Since 2010, the LGBB project has been able to influence policy makers through different actions. The project uses a campaign mode combined with community actions which were demonstrated as best practices. As a result Plan International India has been recognized by the government as a technical support agency on the issue of declining child sex ratio in the implementation of LGBB phase I and II. The project will work with an approach that combines communication and community motivation to reach the objectives. It is carried out in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand & Delhi. Delhi will also be included for the purpose of advocacy. The project will address community, adolescents, newly married couples and the government. Prenatal Sex selection in India causes the loss of 500,000 girls every year. It varies between states, with most dramatic decline in Punjab ( 793 girls / 1000 boys). The major factors that underlie son preference are the economic utility of sons being more likely than daughters to provide family labor and support their parents during old age, secondly the social status of having more sons, thus more power. Finally, having sons arises from the important religious functions that only sons can provide. Next to this a daughter is considered to be an economic liability to her parents mainly because of the heavy dowry payment as well as the high cost of the wedding. The introduction of new reproductive technologies including amniocentesis and ultrasonography has aggravated the problem by providing sex selection services at very cheap prices (Rs 400). These modern technologies which were invented for identification of genetic or other abnormalities in the foetus are grossly misused by detecting the sex of the unborn child for the sake of son preference. Over the next 20 years, in parts of India there will be a 12-15% excess of young men leading to a situation of bride shortage for prospective grooms. This can give rise to substantial increase in aggressions and organized crimes, rape and other forms of violence against women, drug and alcohol abuse, situation where many men in a family share single wife and inter community trafficking of girls. A multi- sectoral strategy which is governed by the core principles of respecting, protecting and fulfilling the rights of girls and women, including addressing gender based violence will be adopted. To create improved awareness on value for girl child, gender biased discrimination & GBV in their respective communities, communities and key persons as agents of change will be identified and trained. This will be done by the following strategies: 1) Evolving a sustained social mobilization and communication campaign to change societal norms in favour of creating equal value for the girl child. 2) Mobilizing and empowering frontline workers’ teams as catalysts for social change, in partnership with local community/women’s/youth groups 3) Developing capacity of Urban local bodies - especially women urban local body members- to create community and peer support for making urban wards girl child friendly. 4) Ensure that service delivery structures are sufficiently responsive to issues of gender and children’s rights. 5) Enabling Inter-departments and inter-institutional convergence at different levels. The last two strategies will make sure that states are engaged and state level actions implemented. LGBB, which started as a flagship project of Plan India is evolving into a program and is being integrated into Plan India’s sponsorship areas towards a more comprehensive approach, at the same time to see how the combined process of communication and community motivation can together aim for reaching the objectives of the project. Coordinated and convergent efforts are needed to ensure survival, protection and education of girl child to help realize her full potential and this is being recognized by the Government of India. In response to the need for urgent action, Government announced, Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao (Empower Girls & encourage Education) (BBBP) to empower the girl child and enable her education in July, 2014 The targeted states of LGBB Phase III are also aligned with the newly launched national campaign BBBP National Scheme and is implemented currently in the same districts of the EU project & blocks. The strategy will be complementing each other to have a holistic approach. Recognizing that the issue of decline in child sex ratio is complex and multi-dimensional, it shall be addressed within the broad framework of survival and protection of girl children. The project will work with young people constituting one-fifth of the total population in the proposed intervention areas, government officials, PRIs, frontline functionaries (Asha/AWW, ANM) and other stakeholders like judiciary, media etc Result 1: Community & identified stakeholders ( adolescents, newly-wed couples and families) demonstrating improved awareness on value for girl child, gender biased discrimination & GBV in their respective communities. • Community will be mobilized to ensure participation of men, women, youths in different participatory forums and activities. • 20% of Youths, young couples, adolescents will be reached • 7200 young leaders (2520 male & 2520 females) will be trained as youth leaders to act as community motivators • Strengthening existing community platforms Result 2: Communication Strategy replicated or adapted for implementation at scale by government. • State and district level advocacy meetings • Linkage with National health Mission & State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) • Establish state consultative groups for effective implementation of government schemes and provisions for the girl child and for implementation of PCPNDT Act. • Facilitating civil society networks • Orientation of the identified (media, judicial & health etc.) critical stakeholders • Block Level Child Protection Committees (BLCPC) will be either strengthened or formed Result 3: Government officials & service providers demonstrating awareness & improved service delivery for improving value of the girl child. • Capacity building on gender, family life education, legislations for front line workers and health workers • Supporting the community workers in developing counselling skills • Birth registration: coordination will be facilitated with Birth & Registration departments /Health department for organising camps for issuance of the birth certificates Plan International India Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Human rights Ending violence against women and girls Protection against violence (including gender based violence) Gender Equality Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) 7775 267537 267537 Plan International India 25000 Plan International India 25000 Plan International India -25000 Plan International India 25000 Plan International India 50000 Plan International India 50000 Plan International India 75000 Plan International India 25000 Plan International India 13153 Plan International India 13153 Plan International India -13153 Plan International India 7774 263 male and 3030 female Peer Educators Village Level Child Protection Committees Village Health Sanitation Committees (VHSNCs) NL-KVK-41198890-CAF100203 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY This project was implemented from 1 February 2018 to 31 December 2018 in response to the protracted crisis in the Central African Republic (CAR).

This project is implemented by Plan International Zambia, in collaboration with the Zambian Ministry of Community Development, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education. The project runs from 15-1-2017 to 31-12-2020. It is implemented in Chadiza and Petauke in the Eastern Province of Zambia. Chadiza is very remote and has a high prevalence of early marriage and teenage pregnancy mainly associated with the cultural practices. Petauke has had high numbers of teenage pregnancies, which have been attested by one of the Senior Chiefs in the districts. The overall aim of this project is to contribute to the reduction of Child Marriage and teenage pregnancies through the provision of shelters to the vulnerable girls who are at risk of Child Marriage. Child marriage, a formal or informal union where one or both partners is under the age of 18, affects nearly 70 million girls in the world. About seven million child brides live in East and Southern Africa. In Zambia, 45% of women aged 29 – 45 reported being married before the age of 18, one of the highest rates in the region. In Plan international’s implementation of programmes against child marriage, we have realized that young girls do not have where to seek refuge and shelter if they refuse to get into child and forced marriages. Also, already married girls who would like to come out of their child marriages fear not having any other alternative. It is against this background that the project is constructing shelters to provide a safety zone for the girls who face challenges of Child, Early and Forced Marriage. The shelters will also offer shelter to girls who suffer from any other forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV) in the communities. This project will be implemented by Plan Zambia, in collaboration with the Zambian Ministry of Community Development, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education. The project runs from 15-1-2017 t0 31-12-2020. It is implemented in Chadiza and Petauke in the Eastern Province of Zambia Chadiza is very remote and has a high prevalence of early marriage and teenage pregnancy mainly associated with the cultural practices. Petauke has had high numbers of teenage pregnancies, which have been attested by one of the Senior Chiefs in the districts. The funding deriving from the cycle for Plan 2017 events will be used to construct in total 2 shelters, a kitchen and latrines for girls at risk in each of the project districts (Chadiza and Petauke). Also, matrons will be supported to ensure girls will have adult supervision to ensure their safety. These activities are placed within the broader Yes I Do project that amongst others addresses root causes of this problem such as gender inequality. In order to guarantee sustainability of the project, Plan Zambia will include board community members and the Government of the Republic of Zambia in these activities In July 2017 2 Cycle for Plan events took place in Zambia in which Dutch sponsor participants cycle from Lusaka to Eastern Province where the Yes I Do project is located. Cycle for Plan is a ground breaking cycle adventure that tends to change lives of both participants from The Netherlands as well as the funding beneficiaries in Zambia. The participants are not only participating in a sportive challenge, but also supporting Plan The Netherlands raising funds for this project. Each participant collects at least €4.000,-. During this cycling event the participants visited several projects of Plan on their route e way, met their sponsor child and saw the difference their contribution makes. The Yes I Do project in Zambia is mainly focusing on empowerment of girls and awareness raising of key stakeholders to advocate for equal changes for girls and boys and providing youth with information about their sexual and reproductive rights (SRHR) and access to SRH services. The funds raise are used by Plan Zambia to buildsafe shelters for underage girls at risk of being married of and those seeking to escape earliy marriege but have no alternative. The target beneficiaries in Zambia will be adolescent girls from 10 – 19 years in the Yes I Do communities in Petauke and Chadiza district in eastern province, Zambia. The construction of the girl’s dormitories will create a total of 120 bed spaces. Kitchen and VIP toilettes will be constructed Kitchen utensils and dormitory furniture and materials purchased. 2 waterboareholes will be cinstructed, one at each location. 2 solar energy installation, one at each site. One shelter will be built in one of the YID project areas and will house 15 girls. Both shelters will accommodate at least 30 girls for a period of 24 months. Girls staying in the shelters will be in the care of a matron and supported to go uptake/continue their education. Plan Zambia will work with the Government's Social Welfare department to safeguard the sustainability aspect of these shelters. As the project will be incorporated in the Yes I Do project and implemented in close collaboration with the local government, the dshelters will be handed over at the end of the project to the government and school management. Additionally, the communities of the YID will be trained in income generating activities to make the maintenance of the buildings and salaries of the matrons possible after the project is finished.

One of the pillars of the Yes I Do program is Education and Economic empowerment which seeks to offer an alternative to child marriage to the girls. The Cycle for Plan Zambia project (2017-2021) seeks to contribute to keeping the girls in school through constructing two dormitories near schools. The dormitories will offer accommodation to girls during school days, hence reducing the renting of houses in the community as well as walking long distances which makes them vulnerable to Sexual and Gender Based Violence. As a contribution to the National Campaign, Plan International Zambia has started implementing the Yes I Do program in the Eastern Province, where the highest Child Marriage prevalence rates occur. One of the pillars of the YID program is Education and Economic empowerment which seeks to offer an alternative to child marriage to the girls. Having realized that distance to the schools has continuously posed as a challenge to the continued education for girls, and has contributed to a number of teenage pregnancies and child marriage, the project intends to construct dormitories for girls in two locations in Chadiza and Petauke. In addition to the distance to schools, the girls suffer a lot of abuse either in the homes, along the way to schools and in the communities where they seek shelter during the weekly boarding. This has also contributed to the girls dropping out of school as they run away from such abuse. The dormitories will offer accommodation to girls during school days, hence reduce on the renting of houses in the community, thereby leaving them vulnerable to the men in the community. Construct 2 boarding houses with capacity of 30 in-built double deck bed spaces to accommodate 60 girls at a time: these will be installed wit: a. 8 high level solar panels with complete set of 8 batteries and 8 inventors; b. 60 double lockers; c. 2 girl friendly VIP latrines with three (3) holes connected to a complete disposal system including wash rooms on the other side; d. 2 submersible pumps and mount 2 five thousand litre tanks; e. 2 sets of 1X 7X5 metre outside kitchen unit with 4 fire places. f. 120 single matresses including any other item not listed in here contributed by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with parents and other stakeholders. g. 1 water borehole The target beneficiaries will be adolescent girls from 10 – 19 years in the proposed project areas. The project will benefit primarily all girls in Chadiza and Petauke catchment area and beyond. The construction of the girl’s dormitories will create 120 bed spaces. The facility will be a weekly boarding targeting girls that come from far reaching areas. The community will indirectly benefit in various ways - as the saying goes, educating a girl child, is educating the whole nation. Other beneficiaries will include all boys and girls in the school and beyond, as the girls in boarding will serve as role models and it is most likely to attract even more girls to attend school and progressing to high school.

The largest migratory flow is arriving or passing through Colombia. According to the latest figures presented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Colombia there are 1,260,594 Venezuelans in Colombia. 68 per cent of the Venezuelan migrants lack the right to work, access basic services and face severe forms of discrimination and abuse. While the border areas are the most affected, Venezuelans are also moving to main cities, where response capacities are overwhelmed. This project implemented with Plan Colombia in February 2019 until July 2019, focuses on girls’ and women’s urgent needs by working with adolescents and youth to inform and prevent gender-based prevention, provide psychosocial support and sexual and reproductive health and rights, including distribution of essential reproductive health and hygiene kits. Plan is working to meet the specific needs of girls and by providing safe spaces , psycho-social support for survivors of violence, and sexual and reproductive health services. This project complements and enhances the response that is currently active by Plan Colombia. This project reflects a Rapid Needs Assessment conducted together with UNHCR that identified the harmful impact of the displacement on women and girls. Including: - High rate of various forms of SGBV have been reported: violence in close relationships, sexual violence (including rape, sexual assault and harassment in all public and private spheres of life); trafficking in human beings, slavery, and sexual exploitation. Some Venezuelan women are in a situation of sex for survival and / or sexual and labour exploitation at risk of human trafficking and SGBV. - Gaps in sexual and reproductive education - Increasing commercial sexual exploitation including reports of girls selling their virginity for cash - High rates of adolescent pregnancy - Lack of access to dignified hygiene and menstrual hygiene facilities and products - Limited knowledge of support and services available for GSBV survivors, especially amongst the young married population Cross Cutting Intervention Approaches: Community Based Approach: The project will be based on a strong community-based approach. To this extent, the intervention will involve the receiving community where have been living victims of the Colombian armed conflict who have been forced to move from their territories. Today these settlements receive Venezuelan migrants, sharpening the needs panorama. Boys and men engagement: Meaningful engagement with men and boys is critical to advancing gender equality and equity. It is necessary not only for women’s empowerment, but also to transform the social and gender norms that reinforce patriarchy and inequality and harm both women and men. In this project young women and adolescents as well as young men and adolescents will be involved in order to broaden the impact of the prevention of GBV. Both genders are fundamental to guarantee the sustainability of the knowledge learned. Therefore, the workshops are aimed at pointing to the respect of each other's interests for the other gender and to promoting healthy and violence-free relationships. Adolescent Empowerment: At-risk girls and boys are being empowered to enjoy their rights and promote gender equality through recreational and social activities, as well through life skills training generating positive knowledge, skills on protection issues, including CP, GBV, gender equality and sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR). By the end of 2019 the Venezuela migration crisis will be the largest in the world, surpassing even the Syria crisis with an estimate of more than 3 million people who will have left Venezuela. The largest migratory flow is received by Colombia, both for the population in transit and as an end destination. According to the latest figures presented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Colombia there are 1,260,594 Venezuelans in Colombia. The affected populations in Colombia are mainly poor, marginalised and vulnerable people, subject to invisible and severe forms of discrimination. According to official figures 68 per cent of the Venezuelan migrants are in an irregular migratory status and lack the right to work and access basic services. While the border areas are the most affected, Venezuelans are also moving to main cities, such as Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla, Cartagena and Bucaramanga, where response capacities are overwhelmed. In crisis situations, the needs for shelter, food and security are rightly given urgent attention. Yet the specific needs of women and girls are too often overlooked. This project has a strong focus on girls and women urgent needs addressing gender-based violence prevention and SRHR. In order to strengthened acceptance and tolerance towards the migrant population and avoid potential conflict, the project will target both Venezuelan migrants and Colombian nationals that are living in vulnerable conditions. 200 Niñas: de 0 a 12 años.

Result Area 1: Protection and GBV STRATEGIC Objective 1: Strengthen the capacities of children, caregivers and communities in the recognition, prevention and response to the protection risks of children and adolescents (with emphasis on the prevention of GBV risks) R1.1 Protective risk factors for children and adolescents have been identified, with emphasis on the risks of GBV and sexual exploitation and the children most at risk of violence, abuse, abandonment and exploitation R1.2 The service route for Venezuelan migrants has been identified R1.3 Adolescents and children at risk have better knowledge and have strengthened self-protection capacities to protect themselves and their partners from violence, with emphasis on the prevention and response to gender-based violence, including exploitation and sexual abuse R1.4 Parents and caregivers have the appropriate knowledge and skills to provide the necessary care and protection for children and adolescents Trainings to promote the recognition of risks and rights´ violation, made available on a basis by the following modules: 1- Prevention and response of GBV. 2- Sexual and reproductive health rights. 3- Child Care and Parenting Guidelines. Result Area 2: Livelihoods and Protection STRATEGIC Objective 2: Promote access to goods, services and programs to improve the quality of life of Venezuelan migrants settled in Barranquilla and Bayunca. R2.1 Culturally relevant dignity kits are distributed to affected populations to reduce vulnerability, meet basic hygiene needs and connect women and girls to information and support services Deliver dignity and hygiene kits to families’ beneficiaries settled down in Barranquilla and Bayunca. The dignity kits offer more than the basic necessities. Dignity kits help women and girls maintain their dignity during humanitarian crises. Preserving dignity is essential to maintaining self-esteem and confidence, which is important to cope in stressful and potentially overwhelming humanitarian situations. Supporting women’s self-esteem and confidence also assists them in providing care and protection to their children. They are also a vital opportunity to meet displaced women and girls and to assess their well-being and raise awareness of the reproductive health services and counselling programmes being made available. Dignity kits include items that are relevant for the protection such as torch, whistle and items related with SRHR (such as condoms). The provision of kits is an entry point for introducing educational material on sexual and reproductive health and rights – an important strategy in the prevention of VAWG. R2.2 Migrants have greater access to rights through information, advice and legal assistance Provide guidance on how to access referral mechanisms (routes), programs and services according to the cases and needs. This action will be implemented by mobilization and advocacy, seeking to promote formal procedures of attention for migrants between local public and private institutions. R2.3 Children and households at risk have access to socio-economic support (cash transfer) as part of a multisectoral response to their livelihoods, in order to mitigate protection risks and GBV The project contributes to the psychosocial and physical wellbeing of women and girls. Deploying workshops in prevention of GBV involves adolescents and young men to be active agents in the process. This training will also help prevent early pregnancies and empower women and girls. As well, advice on protection routes will provide them with the knowledge to protect and claim their rights and seek the condition of legality and with this improve their living conditions. When adolescent girls and boys have the knowledge and skills about their rights they are better enabled to protect themselves and their peers from violence, neglect and abuse. The purpose is to enable boys and girls to better navigate their own situation and make healthy decisions that promote their well-being. To this extent, boys and girls will know where and how to identify risks and prevent and respond to child protection concerns including gender-based violence (GBV). The development of these capabilities will be fundamental not only for the duration of the process of restoring living conditions after migration but also for the rest of life.

Also gender stereotyping is still deeply embedded in China. The project aims to develop rural girls’ and boys’ potential, interest and confidence in learning Science, Technology and Mathematics (STEM), and to build their confidence to pursue a future career of their own choice. STEM education includes arts, robotics, coding, critical thinking, creative education, a growth mindset, gender equality and well balanced character building. STEM Clubs for girls and boys (10-15yrs) will be established in primary and lower secondary schools. Methodologies for gender equal STEM education in rural schools in marginalized areas are introduced to local education authorities aiming at integration of STEM in the regular curriculum. The project is implemented by Plan International China for 3 years since September 2018. Today’s workplace is undergoing a radical transformation. Many jobs are disappearing as computers and robots take over routine tasks, and majority of jobs are changing as people and workplace must continually adapt to developments of new technologies and new communication channels. In China, the Ministry of Education released Chinese STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education white paper in 2017. The goal of the white paper is to improve the nature of knowledge and scientific literacy among children in China. In 2017 the state council issued the "new generation of AI (artificial intelligence) development plan", requiring primary and middle school students to take AI courses and promote programming education . However, this did not target schools in the rural areas of China. It is noted that the information technology course in rural schools are often occupied by other major courses; hardly any of students were taught this course due to a lack of professional computer science teachers in the rural schools. Teachers in urban areas are not willing to relocate to rural areas to teach. With inadequate staffing, rural schools offer fewer and lower quality classes in the area of information technology. The capacity of rural teachers in teaching science and computer technology related subjects are very limited and they generally lack external resources and professional trainings to support them to conduct relevant activities, to promote rural children’s interest, potential and capacity in these fields. Additionally, there is a gap in educational material. The project will be implemented over 3 years. In Year 1, the project will mainly be focusing on further developing the pre STEM curriculum, including Robotics and life skills, in order to make it relevant and realistic to be used in the after school clubs consisting of rural girls and boys (age 10-14 in grade 4-8) in 10 targeted schools (6 primary schools and 4 junior secondary schools) Chunhua and Pucheng counties. During year 2 and 3, the project will scale up to the other 10 targeted schools (6 primary schools and 4 junior secondary schools) and also be focusing more on capacity building of local organizations, like Teenager Activity Centers, schools and education bureau. Continuous effort will be made in strengthening children participatory development and gender awareness during the project and promote information sharing of gender-balanced STEM education model in other non-targeted areas. The detailed activities can be found in the logical framework attached to this project proposal. The project started off with a pilot stage from July till December 2017, which was fully supported by Plan Finland Office via its Smart up Challenge 2, an initiative to encourage innovative experiments focusing on girls and technology. The project will build on this pilot experience, and enrich the content of STEM education in rural schools, improve the teaching approach and innovate creative learning style, and scale up to more target schools. As the formal education in China is mired in a dreary culture of testing and competition, and the culture is now seeping down to early childhood education. Therefore, the project proposal is to start with younger children to implement the intervention through after school activities on STEM education in the project, so called pre-STEM education. The target group includes grade 4-6 and grade 7-8 children. The project will directly benefit 1,200 children (65% girl, 35% boy) from 20 rural primary and secondary schools in Chunhua County and Pucheng County in Shaanxi province. It will also directly benefit a cohort of 66 teachers including 60 teachers from target schools and 6 teachers from the teenager activity centres from each target county. Develop/adapt course pathway, robotic curriculum and student assessment methodology Based on the lessons learned and experience in the pilot phase and a needs assessment, Plan International will work with Roboterra to develop or improve existing robotic curriculum and relevant computer tools with Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology for children, especially girls in rural schools to provide them opportunity to follow their interests and passions. They will also receive training on life skills, including gender equality, in order to increase their confidence, communication and decision making skills. Build local capacity to promote the gender-balanced STEM education in target schools • A local working team will be formed consisting of Plan International staff, Roboterra and Teenager Activity Centre of Chunhua and Pucheng Counties to deliver ToT training to 26 master teachers from 6 primary schools and 4 junior secondary schools and teachers from Teenager Activity Centre. • Master teachers will deliver a training to 40 teachers from the 20 targeted school. Follow-up support and guidance will be provided through regular monitoring visits by the local working team. At the same time, gender awareness and child protection trainings will be provided to the same target group. • Online teacher support network will be established and supported by the local working team and corporate partners ThoughtWorks, Kidscode.cn. Through this network, trained teachers will be able to exchange experiences and challenges concerning the implementation of the pre-STEM curriculum to students in each targeted school. • The local working team and County Education Bureaus will work together to arrange external learning visits and annual sharing sessions for dissemination of project experience, achievements, lessons and project approach etc. to schools in other counties. Introduction of gender-balanced robotic curriculum to 10 targeted schools • In the first year, 10 child technology clubs will be formed in 10 targeted schools (300 children) and the local working team will support these targeted schools to improve the hardware environment of the after school clubs to make it friendly for the student groups to work together. • Selected students are selected, trained teachers will deliver the gender-balanced robotic curriculum weekly to girls and boys in the after school club. These children will have 1-2 times per week practicals on building their robotic programming projects in the club. Students will present their group project of robotics design work in school clubs at the end of the semester, to illustrate what they created, how they created it and why. Teachers and others will review and provide children with suggestions and feedback about their projects and learning process. • 2 Little Teaching assistants (children) in every school will be selected and trained to support the school club operation, and orient newcomers to encourage a culture of caring in the club. Organize technology and gender awareness-raising campaign in schools • The project will support a science and technology camp in schools, including engaging university students, on a chosen topic regarding technology, coding and design, IT change life and professional skills. These camps will be led by Corporate / Female role models. These events will give students a chance to learn something new or finesse existing skills to prepare them for many challenges in the real world and bridge the gap of the technology and start-up spaces. • Gender awareness-raising campaign will be organized in all schools, focusing on girls as creators of technology and digital solutions. Support Robotics Competition at county level or higher level Chunhua and Pucheng Education Bureaus and Teenager Activity Centres will organise annual robotics competitions on county level. Each school recommends the excellent students or groups to participate in the competition or Hackathon where developers, designers, scientists, students and educators gather to collaborate on robotic programming projects including STEM solutions for any problems in life. This event gives students the chance to deepen their skills, work with experts, and learn something new. It is an open event that promotes gender awareness-raising and special competition awards will be set for girls. Involve more students, their parents or caregivers, and teachers in the project In order to enable more students, their parents or caregivers, and teachers to benefit from this project, the following activities will be launched: • A newsletter related to the course an project activities will be published each quarter for information sharing • The materials related to child protection, gender equality and life skills will be distributed to other students and teachers in project schools, and also to students’ caretakers, to improve the knowledge and skills of more people and to create a more friendly learning environment. The project will establish the online teacher’ support network and support local education bureaus to develop their promotion plan on pre-STEM education. These ways will gradually standardize their regular activities and make the alliance functional, during project implementing process, even after the project ends. Plan International China will continue to transfer its knowledge and skills to the stakeholders involved in this project, by contributing its growing technical resources to the online public platforms and the information sharing system that are to be set up in this project and will continue to function with support from partners upon project completion. The successful project model will be replicated in other areas of China where Plan International works, as part of the overall gender transformative programming approach being implemented under its Country Strategy in China. Building the capacity of the project partners will provide them with the skills and capacity to continue the work to implement and improve the project over time. This will significantly contribute to making the project and its outcomes sustainable and scalable.

It intends to provide access to life-saving (child) protection and inclusive education services, especially for vulnerable children such as unaccompanied and separated children, child gender based violence survivors, children formerly associated with armed forces and groups, children with disability and other children at risk, to prevent child abuse and to promote education by engaging community members. Focus is on adolescents and youth with provision of gender and age appropriate services, including sport and recreational activities, menstrual hygiene kits and psychosocial support and reinforcing their life skills for empowerment. Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz regions currently host the largest refugee population in Ethiopia, mainly South Sudanese. As of May 2018, a total of 60,641 refugees (14,792 households) reside in Benishangul-Gumuz regional state. 47% of refugees in Benishangul Gumuz are female, 63% are children, mainly South Sudanese. 35,000 new refugees are expected in 2018 while no significant returns. Child Protection: Given the high number of children arriving in the camps, child protection remains a high priority: lack of WASH facilities and protective measures in the existing CFS and YFS, inadequate/low response to sexual violence due to a prevailing culture of silence, psychological distress and trauma. Education: In 2017, 45% of South Sudanese refugee school age children were out of school. There is a lack of key facilities such as classrooms, sex-segregated latrines, water points, fences as well as libraries and laboratories, school supplies and teaching materials, there are no school feeding programs and other basic provisions for vulnerable children. Children with special needs have limited access, with only few taking part in primary education. School management and refugee incentive teachers are not adequately trained or certified and are disproportionately male (only 8% are female). Girls are 2.5 times more likely to be out of school than boys. Reasons for low enrolment and retention of girls include harmful traditional and cultural practices, lack of resources and materials to manage menstrual hygiene, fewer educated female role models, and limited community awareness on the value of education. Additionally, girls face higher risk of school-related sexual and gender-based violence and other harmful or exploitative practices. Adolescent girls and boys and youth: Youth continue to face various risks that undermine their wellbeing and expose them to death or injury. Youth mentioned that it was very challenging to have no income to support their families, which contributes to their disempowerment and involvement in crimes, violence and drug abuse. The high consumption of drugs, for example khat , cannabis and alcohol, especially by young men and adolescent boys is a major challenge. Adolescent girls and young women are highly exposed to sexual abuse and GBV, often occurring within households and communities. Some also resort to engage in commercial sex, due to lack of economic means to cover their/household needs. A lack of adequate services for adolescents and youth, like sport, recreational and social activities was also reported. Child Protection: The project builds on the socio-ecological model of Child Protection and aligns with Plan’s Global Child Protection Strategy and logframe, composed of 3 overarching CPiE Objectives : 1. Strengthen the protective environment: children, caregivers and communities recognize risks and prevent and respond to them; 2. Promote access to age and gender appropriate services: children and families can access quality services to prevent and respond to violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation appropriate to the best interest of the child and in line with minimum standards. 3. Child protection monitoring, coordination, policy and advocacy: Plan International is part of inter-agency efforts to improve (sub) state level advocacy and policy change to improve the lives of children affected by violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation before, during and after emergencies. Education : Plan will focus on Early Child Care and Education centers to increase further participation and protection of girls, as well as improve quality of education. Youth will be engaged and empowered using youth centers as entry points, providing different age and gender appropriate and culturally sensitive services such as recreation and sports, information on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) and access to services as well as capacity development initiatives emphasizing on child protection, peaceful co-existence and life skills Plan International was selected by ARRA (government ) and UNHCR as the sole child protection and youth programming implementing partner for 5 camps in Benishangul-Gumuz regions ( Gure Shembola, Tsore, Sherkole, Tongo and Bambasi refugee camp) and Pagak entry point. Plan will work with and build on existing frameworks, processes, structures, and institutions. Plan has been regularly attending the special refugee task force meetings held under leadership and coordination from ARRA and UNHCR, both at the national level and at regional level in Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz. It has been actively participating in education and protection/GBV cluster meetings chaired by ARRA and UNHCR, as well as the Regional Education Cluster chaired by Regional Education Bureau and UNICEF. Plan collaborates with UNHCR and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for the cross-border family tracing and reunification. Wherever possible, Plan makes sure to work within existing structures to build capacity rather than create parallel systems, which will foster sustainability. Interventions under this project have been designed, and will be implemented, in collaboration with key stakeholders and within existing structures (government and UN) to ensure alignment, compliance to sectorial program strategies and UNHCR program framework. Heads of community structures have been engaged as well. The intervention will ensure close engagement with the relevant governmental - and non-governmental - stakeholders, such as ARRA, UNICEF and UNHCR, as well as other implementing NGOs - CP activities: most vulnerable and at risk children as well as adults. Main target : Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC), child GBV survivors and Other Vulnerable Children (OVC) - Education activities : children aged 3 to 5 and adults such as Primary School facilitators, teachers, teaching assistants, parent-teachers association members, school mothers and community beneficiaries of awareness raising sessions. - Youth activities : adolescents and youth aged 14 to 24, including GBV survivors and adolescents and youth most at risk of GBV, including unaccompanied minors and teenage mothers.

The project trains 300 young vulnerable women (aged 18-24) from Pokhara region, Nepal, to obtain decent work in the tourism and hospitality sector. The project aims to socially and economically empower these young women by offering them an accredited market demanded vocational training, a life skills training and will conduct an internship. This 3 year project started in August 2018 by Plan International Nepal in partnership with various local public and private partners who have expertise in training and job placement. Due to Covid-19 the project was extended to March 2023. Tourism is an important source of income and foreign exchange for Nepal. Pokhara is one of the top destination for Tourism in Nepal. Plan Nepal conducted a research recently Speaking to 75 companies in Tourism sector in Pokhara, they indicated to currently have 314 vacancies for low, semi, and high-skilled labor. The sector’s size is estimated to encompass 500 companies in total which would result in an approximate labor market demand of 2000 employment opportunities. A major challenge for youth to tap into existing wage employment opportunities are their lack of adequate vocational and soft skills, practical experience, and at times attitude and behavior. In short, youth are not “work ready”. Low overall educational attainment paid with few skills keeps them in vulnerable low-entry barrier employment. Without adequate skills to bargain and negotiate, adolescent girls and young women are put into risky circumstances, making them highly vulnerable to sexual exploitation and abuse. Young women in Nepal still face discrimination of all kinds and society still expects women to confine in the gender stereotypical roles. This supply-side constrain is further aggravated by a labor market coordination and information failures where the sector-specific skill demands are not met with adequate supply. This “skills mismatch” has its roots in (i) training and education curricular which do not reflect market demands, but is also reflected in little available labor market information on job requirements (i.e. job profiles or job descriptions) for interested candidates as well as informal and semiprofessional private sector recruitment practices. The overall goal of the project is to increase the decent employment oppurtunities for young women in Pokhara’s tourism sector . 1. Vocational training ,soft skills , On The Job Training and Mentoring/ Coaching support is provided to the young women especially from poor and marginalized groups then they are adequately skilled and have relevant knowledge and are motivated and confident to take up employment.Thus Young women will be work ready for non –traditional jobs in tourism sector. 2. If decent work gaps are identified in tourism sector , business case for decent work and women’s employment developed and diseminated with employers, awareness and sensitization sessions for companies and other key stakeholders on decent work/women empowerment/gender is held , dialogue mechanism on gender equality and decent work is etsblished and institutionlised then and tourism sector has increased knowledge on gender equal and decent work principles and practices and will apply gender equal and decent work principles.Thus tourism sector will offer and practise decent work oppurtunities , especially for young women in targeted occupations. 3. If skill needs of tourism sector is identified , local labor market information system is established and dialogue mechanism on labor market established and operational then skills demand in non –traditional sectors are met.Thus, Improved functioning of local tourism labor market will be met. These 3 outcomes will contribute to achieve the overarching goal of the project “To increase the decent employment oppurtunities for young women in Pokhara’s tourism sector “. Tourism is a major source of income for Nepal , a beautiful landlocked country which is famous for being the birthplace of lord buddha, majestic mountains and diverse topography.Tourism also bring oppurtunities to the local population for self and wage employment .However the current issues in the toursim labor market is :lack of skilled human resources , low rate of retention of skilled human , mismatch of skill provided and skills in demand. On the other hand young young are confined to traditional roles in society and in workplace.Lack of skill and knowledge , cultural barrier, access to training programs are barriers to women to be engaged in decent employment in toursim sector in Nepal.Thus this project aims to fill this gap and promote young vulnerable women in employment in Tourism sector in Pokhara.There are few government run and private run training providers in the toursim sector but due to high fees, being centre based and scope of work being only limited to trainings(no on the job trainings, no job placements), the access to these facilities especially by young women are very limited.3 sisters/EWN a local organisation has been putting efforts to promote young women in Toursim sector but they have limited resources to continue the free programs .Similarly there are very few organisations that has are working on promoting decent employment through intense engagement and dialogue with private sector actors . Thus Plan Nepal wants to implement this project with the vision of engaging more young women in the non traditional occupation in the Toursim sector . The project will support 300 girls /young women who are : • Between 18-24 years of age • From socio-economically marginalised families. • Atleast 80% of the beneficiaries will be from Parbat, Myagdi and Baglung districts • Committment to participate in full training and work in same occupation. • Migrant young women who are living in poor situations in slum areas of Pokhara will be given priority. • victims of natural disaster, domestic violence, single mother will be given priority Young Women are work ready • Social mobilization of • Market scan , curriculum revision workshop • Vocational trainings provided. • On-the-job trainings (OJT) • Life skills trainings including basic financial literacy • Computer Literacy Class • Language Class (English) • Skill Test through National Skill Testing Board (NSTB). • Alumni Association formation • Joint review and reflection, technical backstopping, regular follow up with young women. Tourism sector offers and practices decent work opportunities, especially for young women • Actor mappingtTourism sector in Pokhara. • Study to identify decent work gap in tourism sector • Business case development. • Labor law orientation to the private sector employers and their associations. • Gender equity and decent workplace orientation to private sector employers and their associations. • Media partnership to promote decent work. • Interaction sessions with parents/guardians of selected beneficiaries to sensitize them on decent work for women in tourism will be conducted. • MOU with Pokhara chapter of Hotel Associations of Nepal (HAN) and Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) to adopt the Code of Conduct. • Disseminate and roll out the Gender Policy, Child Protection Policy, Ethical Recruitment Policy and Decent Work (safety and security) and relevant code of conduct to the Pokhara Chapter of HAN and TAAN. • Coordination meetings with Municipalities and Pokhara tourism council on decent work agenda. • Regular dialogue with male staff at targeted employers (OJT/Internship providers) to promote decent work environment in their workplace. Improved functioning of tourism labor market • Rapid Market Appraisal (RMA) of Tourism sector in Pokhara • Online promotion of job market through social media platforms • Joint monitoring by the HAN and TAAN officials in training centers/venues. • Job fairs will be organized. There are two possibilities of the continuation of the project without financial help. They are listed below: a) One of the outcome of this project is a gender responsive (gender friendly and decent work practice) tourism sector in Pokhara which we aim to achieve through institutional strengthening and capacity building of Pokhara chapter of Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN), Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) and other similar networks. The objective of enhancing the capacity of local umbrella network of tourism sector is to continue the effort to promote gender friendly and decent work practices in the tourism sector even after the completion of the project. The sensitized and aware umbrella networks in Pokhara will continue to lobby/encourage the member organizations in their network to adopt gender friendly policies. b) Establishing and strengthening networks of graduates and employers through formation of alumni organization as well as network of employers is an important activity that has been planned for this project. The project will foster these network throughout the project life and enable it to grow and operate autonomously beyond project period so that new graduates can continue be part of these networks. The project will include girls and young women from most vulnerable and marginalised groups.A rigorous interview process will be used for beneficiary selection.Similarly a need assessment will be conducted of partner organisation based on which capacity building for partners organisations will be planned and implemented.Capacity building of partner organisations is one of the priority approach Plan Nepal wants to focus on for long term sustainability.

Plan International implements humanitarian programming through Yayasan PLan International Indonesia (locally registered) and through local partner 'REBANA' in Sulawesie. The Plan response focusses on providing support in the thematic sectors of Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE), Education in Emergencies (EiE) as well as unconditional multi-purpose cash support. AS as such PLan is supporting the set-up and/or rehabilitation of Child Frinedly Spaces (CFS) as well as Temporary Learning Centeres (TLS) in affected communities. The Multi Purpose Cash support is intended to support those vulnerable households that due to for instance liquefaction lost their housing and assessts (beside the human suffuring of losing loved ones). This MPC support enables them to survive in the immediate onset of the crisis as well as rebuild their livelihoods. On 28 September, a series of strong earthquakes struck Indonesia’s Central Sulawesi province, the strongest a 7.4M earthquake only 10 km deep and with its epicentre close to the provincial capital, Palu. The earth-quake triggered a tsunami striking beaches in Palu and Donggala. The earthquakes, tsunami and resulting liquefaction and landslides caused significant damage and loss of life. As of 16 October, 2,105 people are known to have died. A further 4,600 people have been seriously injured. Search and rescue operations were stopped on 12 October. According to figures released by Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), at least 680 people have been reported missing. Areas affected by the earthquake, tsunami, landslides and liquefaction suffered extensive damage of build-ings and infrastructure. An estimated 15,000 houses and land have been totally devastated with no perspec-tive of return. An estimated 17,000 houses are heavily destroyed but the sites may allow for reconstruction. Around 35,000 families whose houses have been severely damaged need emergency shelter support for a shorter term. Providing life-saving assistance and integrated safe education during the emergency and recovery phase and capacity for girls and boys to protect themselves from disasters and risks resulting from displacement in 5-10 locations affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Central Sulawesi. Outcome 1: Meet im-mediate emergency shelter needs of the most vulnerable af-fected communities, particularly families with moderate and severely damaged houses Outcome 2: Girls and boys have the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their peers Outcome 3: Promote access to safe and inclusive learning facilities for girls and boys in primary schools Outcome 4: Improved hygiene behaviour and prac-tice of girls and boys and school commu-nities Plan International Indonesia has been working in Indonesia since 1948 in advancing child rights, empowering communities and responding to emergencies. Focusing on child protection and education in emergencies, Plan has developed a robust emergency response team with capacity in managing humanitarian response in major emergencies in Indonesia such as the Aceh Tsunami (2004), Yogyakarta and Central Java earthquake (2006), West Sumatra earthquake (2009), Merapi volcano eruption in Yogyakarta/Central Java (2010) and Lombok Earthquake (2018). Having strong engagement with local partner organisations, Plan has built expertise in humanitarian response across Indonesia to deliver life-saving relief items distribution, CPiE, psychosocial assistance, Education in Emergencies (EiE), and Water and Sanitation Hygiene in Emergencies (WASHiE). Plan will put a focus on reaching beneficiaries classified as the most vulnerable and affected by the disaster, including those in remote rural villages whose needs are not currently being met. Priorities will be given to the most vulnerable groups affected by earthquake and tsunami, including (1) households with severe and moderate damaged house; (2) house-holds with babies and under-fives; (3) households with pregnant women; (4) households with disability members; (5) women-headed households; (6) child-headed household and elderly. For the other outcomes, active participation of marginalised and vulnerable groups will be promoted, to ensure that girls and boys (and women and men where applicable) are equally consulted to understand differing impacts, and to take into account their situation to improve inclusion in the project delivery. Gender will be integrated into the overall response cycle, following guidance established in IASC’s Gender Handbook for Humanitarian Action. Plan will adopt a multi-sectoral and coordinated approach to managing and responding to GBV risks and concerns. All interventions will seek to adhere to Minimum Standards around Child Protection and Prevention and Response to Gender Based Violence in Emergencies to ensure that humanitarian assistance is safe, and does not directly or indirectly increase women’s and girls’ protec-tion risks. All front-line staff and local partners’ staff will be trained in child protection, gender-sensitive approach and gender based violence.

Outcome 1: Vulnerable households (i.e. poor women, children, persons with disabilities) are better prepared for sudden climate events by early access to finance (cash transfers and insurance) through Oxfam-VISA pre-paid cards and knowledge about preparedness. Outcome 2: New and technological data on climate forecasting is integrated in local preparedness plans and triggers are used for pre-disaster access to finance. Impoverished communities in disaster-prone areas are hit disproportionately hard by disasters through loss of life, suffering and economic fallback. Within these communities the most vulnerable groups, including women, children and disabled persons suffer the most severe consequences of disasters. Vulnerability is determined by poverty, the lack access to information (forecast), capacities and resources to minimize the impact of disasters. The third most disaster-prone country worldwide is the Philippines, especially the Salcedo municipality (see map) where the proposed intervention is to take place. Investing in disaster risk reduction and preparedness yields multiple benefits (ISDR, UNOCHA), starting with saving lives, reducing infrastructure damage and minimizing economic losses. There is evidence that each Euro invested in disaster preparedness saves between four and seven Euros which would be spent in re-sponse to a disaster (EU, 2018). Unfortunately, although critically needed for regions like Salcedo, disaster preparedness is woefully underfunded. At the same time, we have seen a rise in cash transfer programming (CTP) within the international humanitar-ian system over the last 10 years. There is recognition that CTP can be more efficient and effective than tra-ditional in-kind assistance. However, delivering safe and timely CTP poses a significant challenge for govern-ments, civil society organizations and financial institutions after a disaster hits. Financial service infrastructure is often damaged or lacking; disaster contingency plans often lack financial components; financial literacy and awareness of CTP is often low among local humanitarian actors. Although CTP can be far more effective at reducing human and financial cost of a disaster before the event, until now CTP has been used primarily reactively for recovery, rather than proactively for preparedness and resilience. Resilience and preparedness are the first lines of defense for vulnerable communities in disaster-prone areas. To enhance community resilience, this program is combining two innovations; one, digital weather forecasting and risk modeling technologies early warning systems, and two, financial technologies that enable pre-disaster CTP. Based on smart data early warning system (first innovation), local humanitarian actors can immediately and safely deliver cash prior to a disaster (second innovation) to vulnerable households who are in the path of a disaster. Vulnerable households will receive financial resources and know-how before a disaster strikes, allowing them to effectively protect and prepare themselves and minimize the impact of natural disasters. The pre-disaster CTP offers an innovative solution to disaster risk financing, by combining a variety of (existing and new) features and the use of a quick, safe and transparent digital cash disbursement platform guarantees organizational efficiency and speed of cash distributions.

A similar initiative is the Forecast based Finance of the International Red Cross, that also releases funds before a disaster, however it is focused on institutions. B-Ready will spe-cifically focus on individual households. After successful implementation, we will work with insurers and Micro Finance Institutions to develop a business model (savings, insurances and loans).

Access to sewerage there is low. As a result, the great majority of urban residents use on-site sanitation systems and the management of faecal sludge is a growing challenge. Plan Zambia and WASTE Zambia want to establish sustainable sanitation service systems, including the construction of applicable and sustainable toilet facilities, the establishment and strengthening of small enterprises and creating an supportive enabling environment in financial, administrative and technical perspective. The beneficiaries are 1,020 poor peri-urban households (6,120 people) living in Kabwe Municipal Council. The project has started 1 August 2018 as an extension of preliminary programs and started with an inception phase. During the inception phase assessments were performed to find out if people were willing to invest and able to make informed choices. The Sanitation in Peri-urban Areas in Africa (SPA) program was implemented by Plan and WASTE in Benin, Ethiopia, Malawi, Kenya and Zambia between 2008-2015. In Zambia the program started in 2011 and ran till mid-2014 in 3 cities. The goal was to support local stakeholders of the sanitation value chain (with the development of an inclusive and sustainable sanitation system for households in low-income areas in Kabwe, Ndola and Siavonga. The project yielded good results, and it was found worthwhile to further develop and improve the diamond model. The actual program focuses on behavior change and further strengthening of the Diamond business model with more focus on lower income households in peri urban areas in Central Zambia (Kabwe Municipality), and define how it can provide sustainable sanitation services focused on the poor. It requires a lot of time and effort to motivate people to change behaviour and prioritise investing in a sanitation facilities. The development of adequate financial mechanisms, which are accessible for low income households, has been challenging and still needs further improvement. Awareness, technology and financing need to be better attuned to achieve better results and enhance demand and better chances for upscaling. The general objective of the project is the establishment of sustainable sanitation service systems which includes the construction of applicable and sustainable toilet facilities, the establishment and strengthening of small enterprises (construction and pit-emptying) and creating a supportive enabling environment in financial, administrative and technical perspective. The strength of the intervention lies in the complementary cooperation between WASTE and Plan Zambia. WASTE will focus on the strengthening of the financial instruments that enable affordable sanitation services for the poor while stimulating their self-reliance when installing toilets. WASTE will also strengthen the sanitation marketing of pro-poor services and products that matches the needs and purchasing power of poor households. Plan Zambia will focus on demand creation and behaviour change. By the end of the project, the vision is to have influenced in a positive way the behaviour and attitude of the people living in Kabwe Municipal Council and that they have moved up the sanitation and hygiene ladder. Only then, people are willing to invest in household sanitation services. The previous SPA program (2008-2015) and the recommendations of the external evaluation, formed the fundament under this SPAII program. The program focused on linking demand to supply and to local funding, establishing agreements on loan and credit schemes between financiers, entrepreneurs and clients (end-users). MoUs were signed between the local government, local funders, clients and small scale businesses describing each role, responsibilities and tasks. The project also has been funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was implemented in 5 countries, including Zambia. In Zambia important local players were Ministry of Health, district councils, Harvest Help Zambia (training entrepreneurs) and CetZam, a MFI. One of the conclusions of the end evaluation was that there was no attention for demand creation and therefore Plan Zambia has been involved in the new project. This project is only implemented in Zambia, in Kabwe municipality. Actually no MFI has been involved yet. Stakeholders that are involved are Lukanga Water and Sewerage Company, Kabwe Municipal Country, government line ministries and Community Based Enterprises. 1020 poor peri-urban households (6,120 people). The project will pay special attention to the differences between men, women, boys and girls, such as in their needs, ability and willingness to pay, access to finance options. 1. During the inception phase quick scan on market will be performed to define the potential and the willingness of people to invest in sanitation services. 2. A quick stakeholder mapping and coalition building will be done. 3. A baseline to determine the different income groups the program focuses at. 4. Identify and train leaders to stimulate demand for improved sanitation services 7. Integrate awareness, technical options and financing means will be integrated into one sanitation marketing approach 8. (Re-)establish local savings(VSLA) groups Financing mechanisms: 9.

Working paper specifically about the challenge of targeting the poor, lessons learnt F The establishment and strengthening of small enterprises (construction and pit-emptying) will create an supportive enabling environment for financial sustainability. I First, investing in strengthening the commitment and ownership of government entities will increase the institutional sustainability. Second, making use of and strengthening local expertise TA support to stakeholders will increase the financial sustainability of the program and make it less dependent on grants. The introduction of new low cost sanitation options will make community based organizations more competitive. make the project tgrants . E the concerns are: 1. Groundwater pollution due to faecal in the two communities. Field water sampling tests by the Health Centre staff using Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S); and 2. Groundwater pollution due to Zinc mining and this is the major pollutant ranked the highest in the world. The measures the project has put in place from inception is the promoting ecological sanitation facilities in areas with high water table like Nakoli and parts of Katondo. This is a component that WASTE Zambia is managing. There is demand for ecosan toilet because people have been sensitised and are aware of polluting groundwater. T Technical sustainability will be ensured by construction of sustainable toilet facilities using simple technologies that can be locally maintained. Spareparts are locally available. S Focus on not only poor households but also on vulnerable groups like poor women and disabled, will make the project inclusive.

The project established 6 temporary learning spaces, 4 in North Lombok District and 2 in West Lombok District. A unit of Temporary Learning Space consists of a semi-permanent building with 3 classrooms, following the safety school building regulation and including gender sensitive latrines and water taps. School kits (backpack and essential stationary) were provided to 1,200 children (B: 598; G: 602) in 9 schools. Moreover, ‘School in a box’ kits have been delivered to all 6 temporary learning spaces. School in the box is a package that contains educational materials required for a TLS to operate at a minimum level. To support the schools with qualified staff, paraprofessionals were trained on informal learning. The project aims to reach out a total of 1.200 school-aged children (boys and girls) including 3.200 adolescent girls and women of their sibling and family members in North Lombok and West Lombok.

The project is carried out by Plan International Benin and Protos who reports to SNV and the Dutch embassy in Benin. The project addresses the lack of WASH services for vulnerable people. The objectives are to facilitate access to WASH services in 5 municipalities through awareness raising, lobby and public private partnerships. The main beneficiaries are girls, women and young people. The project is being carried out in close cooperation with the local government and all other relevant stakeholders within the selected locations and within the changing national strategic framework for WASH. The Government's desire to promote and increase the attractiveness of secondary cities in order to reorient urban migration risks exploding population growth without having anticipated the size of urban services. Based on several studies: Needs of all stakeholders: The municipalities have a weak organizational and management skills to implement WASH works, the rendering of accounts and sometimes lack the necessary technical skills • The private sector is more than 90% informal. Although they are key players, the delegates in the WASH sector often do not have contracts signed in due form with the municipalities. Suffer from a lack of recognition, a lack of structuring and therefore of certain professionalism. • Users, user organizations and civil society generally have great distrust of communal agents and elected officials, whom they consider to be incapable of adequately providing public water and sanitation services. • At the same time, communities have rarely developed a deep civic conscience, allowing them to feel equally responsible (individually and collectively) and to adopt systematic and everyday acts of citizenship. It is this challenge that the project will try to meet. • Women and young people lack financial, entrepreneurial and governmental empowerment. R1: It is necessary to support households to climb the ladder towards improved sanitation. At the same time, access to improved sanitation through sanitary blocks is needed to serve as a lever for change by creating a need. To do this, the municipality must have updated PHACs, real compasses in the field of sanitation for their territory. This result will ensure the availability of hygiene services and sanitation in urban and peri-urban areas and their effective, efficient and sustainable management. R2: At the time of the reforms in the sector AEP, the project will try at best to play the mediation by allowing a citizen watch for the informed follow-up of the reforms and accompanying the communes in the discovery of their new role. At the same time, the construction of kiosks at sanimarché and sanitary blocks will also increase the number of drinking water points of sale in the intervention zone. R3: Approach: If: Tested and approved in the field, the products of action and research-action will be analyzed, quantified, put into statistics, disseminated and will thus give the fundamental material to argument arguments. Both GDP and Protos are involved in this advocacy through participation in various sectoral groups or other bodies The project's actions will be part of the national strategies that are ending but still in force. Once the new strategies are adopted, the necessary adaptations will be introduced during project implementation to ensure alignment. This project is part of the Dutch development cooperation strategy for Benin, taking into account Benin’s strategy when it comes to WASH. However, some of these national strategies have come to an end and the new ones, currently under development, are not yet adopted. This is linked to the current reforms in the sector. The current government is showing a strong desire to modernize the country thanks to the increased participation of large private operators. The PPP is not new in Benin but it never took this scale and of ease of procurement. The Government wishes to professionalize the sector by entrusting the management of projects to large contractors under the coordination of the National Agency for Drinking Water Supply in Rural Areas (ANAEPMR). MWFs are no longer considered as adequate means of drinking water supply, these are transitional solutions towards the general objective of having an improved source of drinking water at home, and will therefore gradually be replaced by private connections. The project is complementary and will be implemented in synergy with projects of Protos and Plan International Benin projects currently in progress. Women and girls, as well young people, total reach 112,400 people R1: The actions to reach R1 consists of the following: Sanimarketing companies will be strengthened or created. A network of craftsmen (masons, carpenters, etc.) (already trained or to be trained) will ensure the construction of the works in the HHs. Access to micro-credit will be facilitated by the creation of savings groups. Studies (socio-economic surveys, market research or even facilitating access to micro-credits) will help to better understand the players and future clients. Social marketing activities will have a catalytic effect in generating demand for services beyond the intervention period. If sanimarketing is a success and it actually increases the demand for latrines, the question of emptying these latrines will quickly arise. R2: The actions to reach R2 consists of the following: the municipalities will have to reinvent themselves, allowing and awaiting new strategies planned by the ANAEP-MR. Drinking water points, in the form of urban kiosks, will be created, in connection with sanitary blocks and Sanimarchés. CAPE will inevitably have a fundamental role to play during this transitional period to ensure citizen watch and advocacy. For this, they will be accompanied, trained and strengthened. New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) present a range of tools to help both the monitoring of the sector and behavioral change through information. R3: The actions to reach R3 consists of the following: Launching phase first, to develop monitoring indicators, initial training, basic studies, recruitment of social intermediation facilitators, etc. Then the setting up of consultation frameworks. R3 will track all Research-Action activities The various studies conducted by the project will also be capitalized and disseminated here. The analysis on fecal sludge management described above will make it possible to propose one or two models of the value chain to be put in place. F increase the consumption of water in order to increase revenues. Sanmarketing ensures access to viable local techniques at low cost. Micro-credit will facilitate access to health facilities. Improving HA conditions will increase the economic activity & financial base of vulnerable. The capacitated Savings Groups is a direct benefit for the consolidation of Income Generating Activities (IGAs), enabling the beneficiaries to have the necessary material and financial means for the applying good practices that guarantee a sustainable and equitable drinking water supply and a good level of hygiene and sanitation. Support is provided to ensure that these material and financial resources are sustained after the end of the project. I Better collaboration between the actors, allowing for clear definition of roles and responsibilities of each actor E The end of OD is essential for environmental protection, reduction of pollution and contamination of groundwater and surface water. Fecal sludge management will prevent contamination of the water, surface water and the ecosystem. The RA will be tested at two new Sanimarchés, making them "hubs" of innovation in hygiene and sanitation. T WASH technologies used in this project are 'SMART': simple, market-responsive, cost-effective and locally repairable. The use of ICTs protects them from obsolescence. Building capacity of local contractors facilitates the maintenance and upkeep of the work and thus the sustainability of the facilities. Promotion of local standards compliant materials and training of local masons ensures the continued acquisition of good quality latrines. S The focus of this program on civil society and the profesionalisation of the private sector is specifically aimed at ensuring social sustainability.

The program aims to support the earthquake and tsunami-affected girls and boys and their families with real time humanitarian assistance in a safe, dignified and protective environment. The objective is to 1) Meet the immediate emergency shelter needs of the most vulnerable affected communities, particularly families with moderate and severely damaged houses and 2) Create safe, inclusive, and stimulating Child-Friendly and Women and Adolescent Girl-Friendly Spaces in order to strengthen the protective environment for girls, boys and their caregivers. This response reached 2,150 households in Palu, Sigi and Donggala District with shelter kits and hygiene kits. Later, phases in the emergency response allowed YPII to reach a total of 10,590 individuals through Shelter/NFI, WASH and CPiE activities over a course of 7 months. The Rapid Needs Analysis has identified the different needs of the different groups in the affected populations, such as shelter, food, electricity, gas. Priorities will be given to the most vulnerable groups affected by earthquake and tsunami, including (1) households with severe and moderate damaged house; (2) households with babies and under-fives; (3) households with pregnant woman; (4) households with disability members; (5) woman-headed household; (6) child-headed household and elderly. Plan International proposes a 6-month emergency response project that aims to ensure earthquake affected girls, boys, and their families are supported with appropriate and timely humanitarian assistance in a safe, dignified and protective environment. To fill the gaps in shelter and child protection in emergencies targeting two the most affected districts, Palu and Sigi. The project objectives are: (1) to meet immediate emergency shelter needs of the most vulnerable affected communities, particularly families with moderate and severely damaged houses; (2) to create a safe, inclusive, and stimulating Child-Friendly and Women and Adolescent Girl-Friendly Spaces in order to strengthen the protective environment for girls, boys, and their caregivers. The proposed project will be implemented within 6-month with the first month will be for the general setup, recruitment, and other logistical/administrative tasks to be done. The distribution of NFIs will be done as quickly possible by mobilising YPII prepositioned relief items at the Jakarta warehouse. Setup and operation of Child Friendly Space and Adolescent/Women Friendly Space will be conducted by the fourth month after preparatory setups (recruitment, site selection, logistical preparation etc). On 28 September 2018, an earthquake with magnitude 6.0SR occurred at 13.59 (UTC+7) followed by a 7.7SR (updated to M 7.4) earthquake at 17:02, causing damage and casualties in Palu City, and regencies of Donggala, Parigi Moutong, and Sigi in Sulawesi, Indonesia. This triggered a near-field tsunami which struck Talise beach in Palu City and beaches in Donggala and some settlements and buildings on the beach. Estimations from the National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB) suggest that in total around 2.4 million people were exposed to earthquake intensity V MMI and above in nine cities/regencies in Central Sulawesi (Banggai, Banggai Kepulauan, Donggala, Morowali, Palu, Parigi Moutong, Posos, Tojo Una-una, and Toli-toli) 616,684 people in Palu City, Donggala, and Sigi regencies were exposed to earthquake intensity VI and above. As of 10 December, the death toll was 2,101, with 1,373 people missing and over 130,000 displaced across Central Sulawesi, of which 109,000 were distributed among 431 sites . More than 65,000 houses were severely damaged or destroyed . The total cost of material damage was estimated at USD 910 million. The overall WASH, shelter, health, protection and livelihoods needs remained significant throughout the crisis and the Joint Response activities have been in line with the directives coming from the Government of Indonesia (GoI). According to the most recent data released by the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB), as of January 2019, some 133,631 people remain displaced across Central Sulawesi. Of the thousands more who left the province or found refuge with host families, indications are that increasing numbers are returning to Central Sulawesi. The government-led response continued to focus on humanitarian needs during the transition phase, which was implemented up until 23rd February 2019. The Government of Indonesia’s National Development Planning Agency, BAPPENAS, has been leading recovery planning with several related assessments underway and the development of the Master Plan for Reconstruction currently under consultation. Given that this was a first phase emergency response, the priority for the action was to deliver aid to as many of the most vulnerable people as possible. Recognizing that disaster affects men, women and children differently, the project set vulnerability criteria that ensures inclusiveness. Among the criteria is female-headed and child headed families. This ensured that these groups were not marginalised during the distribution and were given assistance wherever possible. Shelter The provision of shelter kits for families was done based on the rapid needs assessment conducted by ERT in first 2 weeks of the emergency. Plan International and partners ensured that the relief distribution was effective, timely and responded directly to the identified needs. Relief distribution targeted female and/or child headed households, low-income families with children under 5 years old, families with lactating or nursing mothers, families of persons with disability and caring for the elderly, as well as families not receiving assistance from other organisations and having limited access to services. These beneficiaries were selected based on the assessments, coordination with other organizations and discussions with the communities. Protection PLan International supported the rehabilitation/ repair of 6 static Child Friendly Spaces in the targeted areas which have been running CFS activities for 3,192 children (1845 girls and 1347 boys) in these villages. Plan International has furthermore conducted training on CFS management, Psychosocial First Aid and Psychosocial support for 90 CFS animators, of which 32 animators are supported by DRA funding. Prior to technical trainings, induction on child rights and protection, Plan safeguarding policy and gender-sensitive programming were also given to local animators to ensure the animators understand the standards when facilitating child sensitive activities at the CFS. The activities included awareness raising activities on child rights and protection, community organising and technical support for Village CP committee through Community-based Child Protection Mechanism (CBCPM), and menstrual hygiene promotion activities at the CFS participated by adolescent girls, adolescent boys, women and men in the neighbourhood. Reproductive health and MHM awareness raising was done in 6 targeted communities. The people participated in the reproductive health and MHM sessions have been informed on key messages about hygienic practices (including menstrual hygiene), responsible sexual behaviours and Sexual Transmitted Infections. Menstrual Hygiene Management awareness raising was also participated by boys and men in ways to break the taboos and stigmas attached to menstruation. The stigma associated with menstruation has evidently led to an overall culture of silence around the topic in the project areas, resulting in limited information on menstruation and menstrual hygiene which generally affect sexual and reproductive health. Misinformation can have ramifications on the girls and women’s dignity. In addition, Hygiene kits have been distributed to head of households with children under 18 years old supported by hygiene promotion on key messages on reproductive health and MHM aimed at male and female adolescents using interactive discussion methods to raise awareness of how to act positively and supportive towards teenage girls who are menstruating/experience menstruation.

Plan International Nederland and World Vision Nederland joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North- Darfur and South Kordofan, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2019 (Jan - Dec). A total of 120.969 direct beneficiaries across the states of North Darfur and South Kordofan benefit from activities providing multi-sectoral assistance in protection, Food Security & livelihoods and WASH (Water, sanitation and Hygiene) sectors. The project targets the most vulnerable and conflict affected people including (refugees, host, IDP) women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities. The humanitarian situation in Sudan remains serious and complex, with acute humanitarian needs across the Darfur region, North Kassala, Blue Nile and South Kordofan states. The Sudan 2018 Humanitarian Needs Overview points to 5.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, including 3 million in Darfur and just under 1 million in Kordofan. In response to the humanitarian situation in Sudan, Considering the existing needs and gaps, as well as organizations’ expertise and capacities, the program will be implemented in the FSL, WASH and Protection sectors. With no SDN JR 2019 partner implementing activities independently, and all programs designed in order to deliver holistic, multi-sectoral and high-impact programs to beneficiaries by multiple partners, the SDN JR 2019 program has, in its very essence, a high collaborative value and impact.

NL-KVK-41198890-JOR100034 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY The objective of the project (January 2019-June 2021), carried out by Plan Jordan, Alfanar, EURICSE and Ruwwad, is to enhance the contribution of social enterprises [SEs] and social entrepreneurial initiatives [SEIs] in Jordan. The goals are poverty reduction and social inclusion of disadvantaged and marginalized groups - particularly girls/women - through their integration into the formal economy. The project has a strong focus on strengthening existing SEs/SEIS and social entrepreneurship support structures. Thus creating an enabling environment that allows the SE eco-system to start-up, scale up, and flourish. Growth and acceleration of existing high potential SEs/SEIs is a precondition to contribute to tangible socio-economic improvements for the most marginalized groups. The most notable effects are formal job creation, social innovation and social impact and for strengthening the national SE ecosystem in the long run. Although Jordan is doing better than several of its neighbours in terms of human development, ranking 86 on the Human Development Index (2016), the country still faces a number of socio-economic devel-opment challenges, including a low economic growth, and an unemployment rate of 18,4 %. These challenges are particularly prevalent in the marginalized and remote areas such as Tafilleh and Ajloun, and in pockets of Amman. The ability of Jordan’s government to improve the poor socio-economic situa-tion of its citizens is further strained by the recent influx of refugees from especially Syria. This in addi-tion to an already large population of displaced Palestinians who are living in what has turned into semi-permanent settlements, especially in Amman, Zarqa and Irbid Governorate. In the education sector, youth skills are not aligned with labour market demands/lack of entrepreneurial culture among youth & in education system. The schooling system is under serious strain from the Syrian refugee crisis. More generally, due to retrenchment of the public sector, service provision in key social sectors such as edu-cation, health and the environment is falling short. Vulnerable communities have to fend for themselves. SEs and entrepreneurship in general have a high potential for job creation, but entrepreneurial activity remains at low levels. According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey and the Total early stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) index, Jordan is ranking amongst the lowest countries (the 46th position out of 65). Especially regarding the start-up of new business ventures. Since there is no legal categorisation for SEs, they are registered either as CBOs or private businesses which generates fiscal issues, reluctance among credit suppliers and service providers to cooperate and in general a low status of SEs. The country’s youth and women, especially those living in the most disadvantaged communities, are disproportionately affected by the lack of economic opportunities. The national youth unemployment rate is hovering at 33%, while for university graduates it is estimated to be at least 16.7% (AlNasser 2016). Young Jordanians in other words struggle to find decent work which can sustain their livelihoods. The employment rate in the informal sector is rated at more than 50% (ILO, 2015) mostly consisting of low income, unskilled labour, lacking any legal protection. Women, especially young women, are particularly disadvantaged in the labour force and face issues, including discrimination, harassment and cultural barriers to access the job market. Entrenched gender norms position women and girls in an inferior position compared to boys, and girls from especially poor and rural households are discouraged from participating in civic and economic activities. Jordan ranks 135 out of 144 countries worldwide on the global index on gender equality, and for women economic participation Jordan ranks even lower, 138 out of 144 (GGGI, 2017). Following the Arab Spring, it was expected that youth across the region would start to be included in decision making processes and the hope was that this could lead to greater socio-economic inclusion. However, this is hampered due to intergenerational conflict among youth and adults, low capacity of decision makers to engage meaningfully with youth; the power dynamics within the local structures which favour the participation of those with connections inside those structures and gender inequalities and norms; SEs/SEIs are increasingly seen as having the potential to attain sustainable development in Jordan and to create new job opportunities, yet SEs/SEIs are constraint to develop to their full potential: Jordan lacks laws and regulations for social enterprises, hampering registration and complicating access to national and international funding. Due to their unclear status, private sector and service providers are reluctant to cooperate with SEs/SEIs. Moreover, while some SEs are finding ways to navigate a restric-tive and unconducive environment, they often lack the capacity and support structures to accelerate their enterprises and make them socially inclusive and sustainable. The typical social entrepreneur tends to be young (under 35), ambitious, and male and coming from predominantly middle to upper so-cioeconomic backgrounds (Halabi et. al 2017). SEs often fail to attract, mobilize and include youth and women from marginalised areas, who therefore are not convinced of the value of social enterprises and their capacity to influence change whether at the local or national levels. Accor-dingly, youth from mar-ginalised areas tend to refrain from participating within them and create their own spaces instead –mostly informal groups. However, in reality this is still quiet challenging, as they are not recognized by the law and accordingly they cannot receive funds to have their capacity built and implement their own initiatives. By strengthening at least 1 existing facility in each governorate to function as SE Support Centre as well as incubator for SE support activities, exchanges and events (OP1.1), the action will build the capacity of existing SEs and SEIs to accelerate growth and contribute to tangible socio-economic improvements for the most marginalized groups, most notably formal job creation, social innovation and social impact. To do so the action will first assess the SE support structures in East Amman, Tafilleh, Ajloun and based on the assessment at least 3 SE support structures will be strengthened through the establishment of a physical space (SE Support Centres) in each of the target areas. Additionally, multiple service providers will be linked to these SE Support Centres to provide needs based technical, financial, public, entrepreneurial support to the SE/SEIs, with a priority for youth-led and women-led SE/SEIs. Conferences and events will be held for SE/SEIs to raise awareness among SE/SEIs and the community around this action and identify which support is required to accelerate existing SE/SEIs, and assess what is needed to ensure the inclusion of the most marginalized groups as women and youth, either as youth-and women-led SE/SEIs. Additionally, we will identify through an assessment which (especially youth and women led) 70 SE/SEIs have high potential to sustain, scale, and flourish to be supported with the sub granting scheme. This will lead to the identification and support of 40-60 SEs/SEIs through sub-grants (OP1.2). A sub-grant scheme will be developed based upon the partners sub granting experiences and these sub-grants will be awarded through a competitive process, with start-up grants given to SEIs and accelerator grants for scale-up more advanced SEs. Once the sub-grants have been provided the capacity of the selected 40-60 SEs/SEIs will be strengthened to create jobs for youth and women in particular, to become financially sustainable and competitive, and to translate social needs into business cases (OP1.3). This will be realized through the collaboration and support of all SE stakeholders in the action and experts in the SE support structures. The trainings of each SE/SEI will consist of 7-8 training sessions, on different topics, based on their needs, and in total around 120-180 participants will be participating in these trainings and further coached throughout the sub-grant cycle. Impact: These 3 outputs will create more sustainable and inclusive SE/SEIs in Jordan. Their success can be an example for other SE/SEIs, it will make other marginalized youth and women aware of the job opportunities which are available through SEs and social innovation, but also showing the social impact of the activities. It will create and support new SE/SEIs and provides jobs for the most marginalized and disadvantaged youth and women. This is how the action will lead to the acceleration of existing SE/SEIs and as a snow ball effect, it will create new SE/SEIs contributing to tangible socio-economic improvements of the most marginalized and disadvantaged groups in Jordan. By establishing a national SE platform (“Jordan Social Enterprise Initiative”) (OP2.1) for peer-to-peer learning, networking, experience sharing and best practice dissemination, where all actors in the SE ecosystem in Jordan will be linked to each other and to their counterparts in Europe and the MENA region, the action will create a solid foundation for the SE eco-system to develop, scale and flourish. Through the engagement of the consortium partners, especially Alfanar and Euricse, the action will link the SE ecosystems in the MENA region and Europe to the eco-system in Jordan. A national SE platform will be established during a founding conference acting as the central unit to strengthen the eco-system in Jordan. Annually 2-3 conferences and seminars will be organised by the platform with the participating SE/SEIs in the action and other relevant SE stakeholders (in Jordan, MENA and Europe) to share peer-to-peer learnings and disseminate best practices. An advisory panel will be established consisting of technical, financial, SE experts, relevant authorities including our consortium partners. The aim of the panel will be twofold: 1) To provide high level technical advice on SE development taking into account the legal, policy, political and economic context, and 2) to engage authorities, business, social entrepreneurs, finance institutes and financiers to increase awareness of the impact that SEs can have as a driver for inclusive growth. This will result in strengthened capacity of relevant authorities to facilitate the development of the SE ecosystem and easier access to effective SE support services, based on international good practices for SE development adjusted to the Jordanian context (OP2.2). The project is relevant to a number of policies in Jordan. It specifically contributes to the recent Jordan Economic Plan 2018-2020 as the action is aiming to foster job creation and income generation through the support of start-up businesses and expanding existing ones, promoting the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation across different economic sectors, age groups, providing consultation services to enhance productivity and competiveness and access to financing. Additionally, the government of Jordan Youth and Employment strategies and policies has prioritized the encouragement of young entrepreneurs, which besides women entrepreneurs is the most important target group of this action. A very important target group as the National Strategy for Entrepreneurship Development and SME Growth (2015-2019) highlighted that young entrepreneurs make up only 10.2% of enterprise owners. Women entrepreneurship is another Government priority and priority of the action, as women participation to the labour market is less than 14%. In line with the Jordan Vision 2025, the action creates concrete linkages with priority sectors and themes of the CfP by awarding sub-grants to SEs/SEIs that propose projects focusing on for instance education/TVET, employment, environment or public private participation (PPP). The action builds on global efforts to enhance economic development, Goal 8 of the Sustainable Development Goals (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and on the Jordan Compact, now being implemented, representing new commitments to expand access to markets, open up investment opportunities, create the institutional frameworks necessary for the private sector to thrive.Social enterprises in Jordan have high potential to create inclusive growth, innovation and social impact, yet many SEs and SEIs lack capacity and support structures to start-up, scale and flourish. This action builds on current and past experiences of the consortium partners on social enterprise development and economic empowerment of women and youth in Jordan, the MENA region and Europe. In preparation of the action, a mapping of SEs and support structures was carried out, and consultations with successful SEs and government stakeholders informed the design. During a design workshop in Amman with consortium partners and SE representatives the framework of the action was agreed upon. The action is based on Plan’s long track record in youth economic and women empowerment and in specific Plan’s experience to enhance employment for vulnerable young men and women confined in the informal economy. The co-applicants, Ruwwad and Alfanar bring in strong experience in supporting community-based and youth-led social enterprise initiatives, and the action draws on Alfanar’s ASSET model for capacity building and acceleration of SEs in the MENA region. Euricse’s expertise in supporting SE ecosystems in Europe provided strong basis to this action in terms of SE support structures and on policy and institutional frameworks. 14,400 disadvantaged youth (aged 18-35), women working in the in-formal economy and other marginalised groups from the poorest communities in East Amman, Tafilleh and Ajloun will benefit from the strengthened SEs. 307,075 people will benefit from the platform ac-tivities. To ensure the full potential of SE/SEIs in Jordan, as key contributor to tangible socio-economic im-provements for the most marginalised groups, the action is designed with a strong focus on growth and acceleration of existing high potential SEs and SEIs (SO1) and strengthening the national SE ecosys-tem (SO2). To accelerate existing SEs and SEIs in East Amman, Tafilleh and Ajloun, a key outcome is strengthening the capacity of SE/SEIs. The SE/SEIs will be strengthened in two ways, namely by provi-sion of sub-grants through a competitive call for proposals and capacity building support. The SE/SEIs selected for a sub-grant will be provided with tailor made trainings and extensive coaching and mentor-ing during the implementation of the sub-grant. The capacity and quality of SE/SEIs is also enhanced by making SE Support Centres available to them. These centres will be set up in such a way that SE/SEIs are linked to information-and key resources. Also, In order to have a sustainable and broader impact, the action will contribute to the establishment of the “Jordan Social Enterprise Initiative”. A national plat-form, organizing conferences with key stakeholders, including SE/SEIs, followed by the identification of networking, learning and experience sharing events and activities. Ultimately this will lead to the dis-semination of good practices and recommendations for further improvement of the national SE ecosys-tem. In order to take lessons and experiences of the MENA region and Europe into account as well, an advisory panel, consisting of national, regional and global experts, will be established. In collaboration with relevant authorities an appraisal of the national SE ecosystem and a forecast will be developed to further strengthen the ecosystem up till 2030. Based on these concrete recommendations for relevant changes to the policy and institutional framework for SEs in Jordan will be made. The outcomes will be shared with key government actors in order to influence the policy framework on SE in Jordan. This will lead to strengthened capacity of relevant authorities to facilitate the development of the SE eco-system and easier access to effective SE support services, based on international good practices for SE devel-opment adjusted to the Jordanian context. At technical level the action is expected to have a direct impact on the capacity of 40-60 SEs/SEIs operating in East Amman, Tafilleh and Ajloun as well as a wider section of Jordanian SEs/SEIs benefitting from an improved SE eco-system with better coordination and learning. SEs/SEIs will become financially sustainable and competitive and will be better able to translate social needs (particular job creation and skill development) into financially sustainable business cases. The SEs/SEIs will have ability to engage in productive dialogue and collaboration with both their target communities and public and private sector stakeholders. Furthermore, the action will also strengthen existing SE support structures. Some directly as they will become SE Support Centers and some indirectly as they will benefit from the improvements in the eco-system and better coordination and learning. At economic level the action is expected to have a direct impact for 14,400 marginalised youth and women and their family members as they will access employment/self-employment, benefit from social services and develop the needed skills for inclusion in the formal economies. Access to employment or self-employment will increase income levels at individual and household level. Secondly, the action’s focus on building partnerships with private sector actors at national, MENA and European level is expected to create/ open up new markets to private enterprises operating in the target areas creating employment opportunities, social inclusion and economic growth. Finally, Ruwwad – and in extension Wamda Capital – are central actors in the ecosystem, will mobilise their networks to create linkages between investors and communities thus attracting further investments to SEs/SEIs. At social level the action is expected to benefit 307,075 disadvantaged and marginalised people (youth, women, PWD and refugees) especially living in marginalised communities in East Amman, Tafilleh and Ajloun, as well as authorities, and all relevant SE stakeholders in Jordan, MENA Region, Europe. In addition to the raised income levels and inclusion in the formal economy the activities of the SEs/SEIs will deliver other tangible socio-economic improvements such as environmental (cleaner environment), health related or socially. At policy level, the action will increase the awareness of representatives of the Ministry of Planning, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Social Development, and the Ministry of Labour on the potential impact, characteristics and needs of SEs/SEIs. The engagement of authorities in key activities, including the national JSEI platform, the Advisory Panel and the participatory appraisal will enhance the development of the SE ecosystem and will contribute to improvements in the legislative and policy framework for SEs/SEIs. All of these activities aim to ensure a high level of engagement of authorities by creating networking opportunities with other ecosystem actors in the MENA region and Europe, allowing platform actors to learn how to improve the legal and fiscal framework and policies.

The SSJR5 project implemented by Plan aims at 1. protecting most vulnerable children and adolescents through community based child protection and comprehensive case management and to support adolescents and youth to access livelihood opportunities 2. supporting most vulnerable households with emergency livelihood interventions through provision of assets, capacity building and conditional multipurpose cash 3. enhancing most vulnerable households' access to cash through a community cash for asset program and unconditional cash transfers. The project targets about 7200 individuals. Malakal and Fashoda counties : Disruption of livelihoods, poor economic conditions and challenges faced in the delivery of humanitarian assistance have continued to drive food insecurity in South Sudan. As per the recent assessment done in the area, both Malakal and Aburoch counties are at IPC 4 or Emergency phase requiring continued FSL assistance in 2019, especially for the IDPs and recent returnees who lost all their assets. Due to the recurrent fighting, access to land and rivers was not regular and dangerous, but with the revived peace agreement, the situation has stabilized. As per FSL cluster, the humanitarian actors currently providing or planning to provide FSL support do not meet the needs as they are struggling with limited resources. Malakal Town, PoC and Aburoch are mainly inhabited by IDPs and returnees and the local government and community structures do not have the capacity to respond to their multi-dimensional needs. By multipurpose cash programming, we intend to offer a more dignified support to communities who have been affected by the crisis for a long period and to supplement/ fill in the gaps of the different services offered by the other actors, such as food, health or education. Pibor County : South Sudan still primarily faces a severe protection crisis, with approximately 6 million South Sudanese women, men and children facing protection risks and violations. Causes for South Sudan’s protection crisis are multiple and interrelated, with at the core widespread conflict which is compounded by multiple shocks and stresses from food insecurity, destitution, disease, natural disaster and absence of essential services. The civilian population, including child,continues to be subject to deliberate attacks, conflict-related sexual violence, abductions, forced recruitment including of boys and girls, cruel and unusual treatment, destruction of housing and property, forced displacement and family separation. CPIE Protection and Response Intervention : 1. Strengthen the PROTECTIVE environment for girls and boys through 1. a. Strengthening knowledge/skills of boys and girls to protect themselves and their peers 1. b. Strengthening knowledge/skills of parents and caregivers to provide the necessary care and protection to children 1. c. Strengthening community based child protection mechanisms a. Provide UASC, CAFAAG , children GBV survivors and other at risk children with access to multi-sector support through direct support and coordinated referrals b. Provide UASC with family tracing services and appropriate alternative care and children at-risk of separation receive prevention support services 3, Mainstreaming of Child Protection FSL : Criteria for beneficiaries’ selection for agricultural and fishing inputs will be validated with the community, with access to land/water as a key criteria. Community representatives (CPC members) will lead in the FSL beneficiary identification. Verification of beneficiary will be done to minimize inclusion/exclusion error and ensure proper targeting. As recommended by the FSL cluster, we will prefer, when possible, organizing seed, agricultural inputs and fishing kits fairs and procure from small local farmers or local suppliers, rather than organizing in-kind distributions, this also to inject cash in the community and contribute to sustainability and resilience. Seeds will be tested on seeds germination, before distribution/fairs. All beneficiaries will be trained on sustainable agro-practices and climate smart agriculture, jointly agreed vulnerability criteria and procedures. MPC CFW : a % of vulnerable HH in the incapacity to partcipate in the CFW will be provided with unconditional cash transfers, while other vulnerable HH will be invited to work at the contruction or rehablitation of community selected communal assets during 4 months. This will alos support social cohesion and dignity. 7200 targeted beneficiaries CPiE : UASC, CAFAAG, child GBV survivors and other vulnerable children and adolescents + vulnerable youth + Parents and caregivers, community leaders, influential members and other community members, MoE, MoGCWS, local authorities and service providers, staff from local NGOs = approx. 5000 persons FSL : Food insecure and vulnerable households, who are smalls farmers or fishermen = 900 persons Multipurpose cash : vulnerable households whose head of household is physically unable to work, AND vulnerable household engaged in Cash for Work activities AND Food insecure and vulnerable households, benefitting from farming or fishing assets = 2400 persons Plan International South Sudan Save the Children Nederland Plan International Netherlands Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Emergency food aid Material relief assistance and services Relief co-ordination; protection and support services Gender Equality Protection and Assistance in Emergencies (Disaster Risk Management) THRIVE - Protection LEARN - Skills opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship (SOYEE) 660910 30064 11877 Plan International Netherlands 36005 Save the Children Nederland 256699 Save the Children Nederland 440054 Save the Children Nederland 660910 Plan International South Sudan 11877 Plan International South Sudan 21168 Plan International South Sudan 400000 Plan International South Sudan 227865 Plan International South Sudan 760 988 2736 988 10640 2139 1216 10956 -1210 Humanitarian support: food security & livelihoods # of HH members benefitting from capacity building on sustainable agro-practices and climate smart agriculture seeds and provision of agricultural inputs and/or fishing assets Humanitarian support: protection # of individuals provisided with information on relevant rights and entitlements, in relation to actual risks faced by the targeted group as a result of the crisis 0 Humanitarian support: protection 1.

The project raises awareness among young women about their rights, protects them against violence, builds capacity, raises political awareness among youth and promotes their participation in decision making processes. The project targets 1.800 girls and boys (<18) and young women and men (18-25), and 26 youth groups. It will be implemented by Plan and 8 youth-led/women-led community development associations in Beheira, Cairo, Qalyoubiya and Qena Governorates. Youth will be trained to become agents for social change and enable meaningful participation in their communities. Local Child Development Associates and youth groups will become more accountable and act as democratic spaces that facilitate participation of youth and promote gender equality. This will lead to greater interest in issues concerning women in both traditional and social media. The 2 year project started end of 2018. Women in Egypt face many barriers regarding their political empowerment, including their ability to develop themselves as leaders within their community. Barriers to girl’s and women’s empowerment are observed across several dimensions including social norms and customs, low quality education, early marriage, low economic participation and weak civil society organizations/networks. Ggovernment representatives are directed by their cultural backgrounds that reinforce disempowerment of women, in addition to gaps between policy commitments and the policy implementation. Women in Egypt have enjoyed political support that resulted in positive results in terms of issuing legislations protecting women’s rights (e.g. criminalization of FGM, increase of legal age of marriage, sexual harassment law, ratification of CEDAW), however, law enforcement continues to be a challenge. Young peoples’ – and particularly girls’ and women’s – participation in policy and budget decisions is critical to ensure that states take their interests into account legally and economically. The voices of girls and women in particular should be heard because it is their right, but also to ensure that decisions are fair and contribute to greater social justice. This action also contributes to the objectives of the 2030 National Women’s Empowerment Strategy promoting the political empowerment and leadership of women in Egypt. According to the strategy, this is to be done through increased political participation of women, and engagement of women in the decision-making process. Women in Egypt have enjoyed political support that resulted in positive results in terms of issuing legislations protecting women’s rights (e.g. criminalization of FGM, increase of legal age of marriage, sexual harassment law, ratification of CEDAW), however, law enforcement continues to be a challenge. The overall objective is to contribute to a more conducive environment for the engagement of youth, particularly young women(14-25) in the local and national decision-making processes. To achieve this girls, boys and youth have to embrace gender equality and gain capacity to challenge unequal power relations. Adolescent girls and boys will become active drivers of change in the community using COC methodology promoting gender equality and social norm change through youth engagement and peer-to-peer mobilization. Girls' empowerment and boys' engagement with gender equality will only flourish in communities that challenge sexist social norms and value girls equally than boys. COC works to foster intergenerational dialogues to ensure boys, girls and youth's commitment to gender equality is supported by their families and their communities. The youth groups have the capacity to advocate for their needs, with special attention to the needs of young women, and for increased engagement in the CDA decision-making processes and can hold duty bearers including CDAs to account. Media workers gain awareness on gender equality and have capacity to represent issues affecting youth, girls and young women in particular. In order to enable meaningful participation of youth, the project is also targeting community members and government stakeholders. Through the O2P project implemented activities on the combat of FGM/C with ACDA in Assiut governorate and EFPA in Giza governorate, in 4 communities last 5 years. The project utilized a multi-layered approach with communities, human rights defenders (civil society organizations and individual human rights defenders) and governmental bodies as duty bearers for building consensus and encouraging behavioral change. The project has successfully enhanced the communities’ environment to enable a change in attitude and behaviour towards FGM/C, and supported the peer educators to actively participate in the community and advocate for women and girls their rights especially FGM/C topic. Follow up will be given in part of these communities, while also new communities are included for this project. The approach will be broader and based upon success and achievements in the former approach. R1: Girls, boys and youth embrace gender equality and gain capacity to challenge unequal power relations -Train community facilitators (peers) on COC curricula. PIE will facilitate TOT to 32 facilitators and 16 CDA’s staff -Establishment of COC clubs (classrooms) in 8 partner CDAs -Train 72 groups of adolescent girls and boys in Champions of Change curricula award 40 initiatives: 8 at Governorate level and 32 at community level R2: Families and communities support young people (particularly girls) in developing their capacity to participate in and influence decision-making in the family and community -participatory mapping to identify community leaders, local authority figures, networks, forums that can support women’s empowerment -Raise awareness and initiate discussions on gender equality and women’s empowerment among local stakeholders identified as influencers/leaders -Facilitate intergenerational dialogue among girls and boys, parents and care-takers on women’s exclusion and gender-inequality R2.1: Youth groups have the capacity to advocate for their needs, with special attention to the needs of young women, and for increased engagement in the CDA decision-making processes Provide training to youth groups on leadership, social accountability, Influencing and advocacy R 2.2: Youth groups, particularly young women, develop capacity to hold duty bearers and including CDAs to account -Build capacity of local officials on social accountability tools and mechanisms to foster youth engagement (specially women) in the decision-making process -Facilitate coordination meeting between youth groups (existing and COC’s), partner CDAs and Youth Centers and Governorate offices to promote youth engagement (specially women) in decision-making process -Facilitation of round tables at Governorate level by CDAs to work with the local authorities and youth groups on the development of joint action plans and a clear path to strengthen youth participation - Implement one round table Individual capacities of youth (through COC) are strengthened and youth groups will be provided with tools and equipment to maintain communication with COC alumni and among other youth groups and hold CDAs and local authorities accountable. The capacitated youth/women-led partner CDAs can internalize project management and skills on social accountability and gender equality. CDAs will be encouraged to seek alternative sources of revenue. The action will build the capacity and awareness of government officials on social accountability, youth and gender issues, which is expected to result in better inclusion of youth (especially women) into their plans of action/initiatives through the Youth Centers. Although the action is not related to environmental issues, PIE will also support initiatives proposed from youth as result of the project focusing in, for instance, job generation in “green and clean” sectors. This will depend in what youth identify as relevant for their communities.

In both rural and urban areas, young women account for large numbers of the unemployed. This can be attributed to the fact that most communities in Kenya prefer to educate boys over girls. This project (August 2018 - August 2021) and focuses on improving economic empowerment of adolescent girls and young women. It especially aims to increase access to gainful employment opportunities for vulnerable adolescent girls and young women. Another goal is better protection of vulnerable girls from child marriages and commercial sexual exploitation. Implementation of this project is in Kisumu County. This project is linked to Plan International Kenya's GAA programme, and provides direct access to vocational and life skills training, followed by job placement. Plan works together with vocational training institutes and private sector to offer market driven vocational training opportunities. Despite an overall improved legal and policy landscape in favour of women, Kenyan women and girls continue to experience both structural and systemic discrimination. Structural discrimination refers to the rules, norms, patterns of attitudes and behavior in institutions and other societal structures that present obstacles, to girls, women and other marginalized or vulnerable groups, in achieving the same rights and opportunities that are available. There are a number of reasons for this: lack of knowledge b duty-bearers ad the general public about the risks involved in child marriage, child trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, a patriarchal culture, corruption, lack of political will and a series of conflicting laws/legislation complicated by the existence of customary law, commonly practices in rural areas as well as limited engagement with the private sector in addressing gender-based violence. Unemployment and underemployment have been identified as Kenýa's most difficult and persistent problems. 12.7% of the working age population is unemployed. About 67% of Kenya's unemployed are youth between 15 and 34 years of age. The highest unemployment rates are for people around 15 to 24 years old at 45%. In the rural areas of Kenya, young women account for large numbers of the unemployed and the situation is the same in the urban areas where females have the highest rates of unemployment as well. This trend can be attributed to the fact that most communities in Kenya prefer to educate the boy child as compared to the girl child. Some organizations and companies also prefer the male employees to the female ones due to ther biological dispensation especially in high ranking positions and positions that require much energy and this automatically puts the females at a disadvantage. Women face various structural constraints on their effective participation in economic activities. If young women receive market driven vocational training opportunities and life- and employability skills, it will increase their confidence and motivation, and prepare them for the job market. It will provide them with a better position for the labor market and diminish their vulnerability for sexual abuse. The graduated young women will become part of an alumni network and become champions of change in their community and motivate other young women to engage in employment. The project is linked to Plan International Kenya's GAA program, and results will create an evidence base for lobby and advocacy interventions under GAA. The project will work with the same key stake holders in Kisumu, such as vocational training institututes, private sector and communities. The project targets 32 adolescent girls and young women (16 - 24 years old). - conduct a market scan - conduct 2 days mentorshop and coaching forum targeting 50 girls, 7 polytechnic and TVET heads to enable girls select the courses to undertake in different colleges in Kisumu sub-counties. - Conduct 2 days meeting with polytechnic heads incorporating 8 private sectors to tailor make the curriculum to fit all the girls i.e. time schedule and duration, and to map out skills that are required for employability purposes. - enroll 32 girls for 6 months in a market driven vocational training in Kisumu county - Place the 32 trained girls in jobs - Conduct 2 half-day mentorship and lifeskills trainings and forums monthly, targeting 50 girls to strengthen the group to champion for other girls in the community/villages in Kisumu sub counties.

Plan lnternational Bangladesh manages and coordinates the partner NGO and provides technical assistance to the schools and madrasahs (educational institutions) for the implementation of GEMS (sexuality education materials) and ASRHR interventions. Besides this, the SRHR helpdesk, media campaigns and community mobilization are among the principal interventions of Plan lnternational Bangladesh. 2019 is going to be the last year of the project so Plan International Bangladesh will organize a sustainability planning meeting in every school and madrasah. SRHR materials will be provided to the institutes after conducting the end line survey. SRHR is a domain of social taboo in Bangladesh, especially for adolescents and young people. Sexuality, procreation and rights are not talked about at home or in school or only in terms of risks mainly affecting girls. Without adequate education on physical and mental changes during puberty, adolescents are left to their own devices to understand bodily facts or mental and emotional issues around friendships, relationships, desires, safe sex, sexuality, reproduction and HIV or other STIs. Many adolescents’ only source of information about sex is from pornographic material available through magazines, DVDs, TV, the internet or occasionally through friends and cousins: generally not information that promotes respectful, consensual, tender and pleasurable intimate relationships. As in any other country, adolescents in Bangladesh do experiment with sex and intimate relations during this phase of their life and without adequate information the risk of sexual violence, unwanted pregnancies, chances of attracting STIs and HIV are high. With over one third of girls in Bangladesh – married or unmarried – experiencing a pregnancy before the age of 19, the chances of complications during delivery are considerable: maternal mortality remains very high in Bangladesh. In the absence of adequate information and RH services for unmarried adolescents, there is a great risk of unwanted pregnancies and subsequently often, unsafe abortions. The UNFPA supported “Generation Breakthrough” project will address the issues of GBV, gender equity and adolescents’ SRHR and their linkages through educational and skills development programmes in schools, clubs and sporting programmes, as well as through public awareness campaigns. From the very start of the project relevant government ministries, as well as civil society organisations will be involved in designing, facilitating, undertaking and supervising the different activities. The project Generation Breakthrough by Plan International Bangladesh is part of a bigger program funded by UNFPA In Bangladesh, children up to the age of 15 make up 34.8% of the total population; the percentage of the age category from 1-29 year, is as high as 61.4 , with the category of 10-19 year old (adolescents) at approximately 22% . Despite the significant reduction of fertility rate in recent years, due to the young age structure, Bangladesh population will continue to grow, Because of traditional societal views, norms and values it is generally considered unnecessary, unwanted and inappropriate to provide any SRHR information and relationship advice to adolescents and young people prior to their marriage. An uneasy silence thus surrounds the issue of SRHR. SRHR information provided in schools and clubs, or partly covered through the existing curriculum, generally does not go beyond adequate nutrition, minimum age of marriage, dowry, menstrual hygiene, or (often incomplete) information about HIV transmission. As a result many relevant practical issues related to sexual and reproductive health and safety, eg condom usage and demonstration, are not covered in such education and training sessions. Many people, opposing SRHR education for adolescents fear that such education actually promotes ‘unwanted’ sexual activities by adolescents and youth: ‘it would only entice youngsters and lead to promiscuity’. Yet many youngsters, also in Bangladesh, experiment and do have sex and want to have access to information as well as condoms. Internationally, evidence has shown that adequate information and comprehensive education of sex and sexuality (including other forms of pleasure) generally delays sexual (intercourse) debut and stimulates safe-sex practices and thereby actually reduces the related social and health risks. When it comes to SRH services, Bangladesh presently has no formal system to provide the necessary services and contraceptives to unmarried adolescents. Adolescent boys and girls aged 10-19 (as per the WHO definition) in the Patuakhali and Barguna districts, Dhaka city and Barisal town are the primary target group of this project. To meet the diverse gender and ASRHR needs of different age groups, the primary target population is divided into two sub-age groups of 10-14 years and 15-19 years to allow for age-appropriate approaches and content. In the previous phase 2014-2017, the project was working in 300 schools, 50 Madrasahs, and 150 clubs in the implementing areas. In the last phase, the project will not work with community-based clubs anymore. The project will continue training teachers on ASRHR education at the targeted schools to include 50.000 students in ASRHR education. Other actors such as youth over 19 years community leaders, and parents are targeted through project activities as part of a strategy to create an enabling environment for change among the target group and ensure their engagement in the project. Champions of Change method is added in Cox Bazar area specifically to target the refugee and host communities in that area on ASRHR information. The project is the last phase of a longer term program in which Plan Bangladesh is technical partner regarding ASRHR education. The project is part of a bigger program funded through UNFPA and other key stakeholders including the Ministries of Education and of Health are program partners as well. The ASRHR education materials developed through Plan Bangladesh and its partners are nominated to be part of the national curriculum of secondary schools in Bangladesh.

The partners joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2019. Based on the persisting high needs in South Kordofan and North Darfur, the DRA has decided to continue to provide life-saving assistance in the same localities. In 2020, the SDNJR partners will work in the same villages and towns, with coordination and harmonisation as primary drivers and considerations, to provide holistic services to the affected population. The targeting of beneficiaries and public structures, such as schools and hospitals, is conducted jointly. The humanitarian situation in Sudan remains serious and complex, with acute humanitarian needs across the Darfur region, North Kassala, Blue Nile and South Kordofan states. Rising food prices have pushed majority of poor households purchasing power beyond the survival threshold. The Sudan 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan points to 5.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. While armed conflict between the Government of Sudan and armed groups has overall subsided in Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile, conflict continues in the Jebel Marra area region (part of Darfur) coupled with frequent inter - tribal conflict. Both HNO and HRP 2019 documents put South Kordofan and North Darfur among the states with the greatest needs of humanitarian assistance. Respective 3 million people in Darfur and 1 million people in Kordofan are in need of humanitarian assistance. Considering the existing needs and gaps, as well as organizations’ expertise and capacities, the program will be implemented in the FSL, WASH, Health and Protection sectors. With no SDN JR partner implementing activities independently, and all programs designed in order to deliver holistic, multi-sectoral and high-impact programs to beneficiaries by multiple partners, the SDN JR program has, in its very essence, a high collaborative value and impact. This overall objective aligns with the strategic outcomes of the Sudan MYHS and HRP: 1. Populations affected by natural or manmade disasters receive timely assistance during and in the aftermath of the shock 2. Displaced populations, refugees, returnees and host communities meet their basic needs and/or access to essential basic services while increasing their self-reliance Grand Bargain commitments have been integrated throughout the response, with accountability, collaboration, innovation& Learning and Localization at the forefront of the design. To maximize impact and increase accountability, gender is mainstreamed throughout all SDN JR 2019 and 2020 programme activities. 2019: A total of 120.969 direct beneficiaries across the states of North Darfur and South Kordofan will benefit from activities implemented under the SDN JR 2019. The Joint Response will target refugees, host, IDP and returnee populations affected by the protracted crisis, with focus on the most vulnerable and conflict affected within the targeted areas (including women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities). 2020: 104.370 people in North Darfur and South Kordofan are provided with resources to protect and start rebuilding livelihood assets. 125.334 people in North Darfur and South Kordofan provided with integrated WASH services. 19.830 people in North Darfur and South Kordofan provided with specialized Child Protection (CP) and SGBV services. 73.332 people in South Kordofan provided with emergency Health support with a strong focus on survivors of GBV. Considerations around power distribution between women and men, girls and boys will be integrated into the implementation of the project. This includes ensuring that the project team is gender and sex balanced, that they are trained on gender equality and inclusion and that the working environment is gender sensitive. When it comes to the implementation of project activities – training and technical support to individuals, groups, organizations and agencies – gender roles and dynamics are paid attention to. Finally, reporting about beneficiaries will be disaggregated by age group and by sex, this will provide the project team an analysis of how the project is reaching to women, girls, boys and men as well as children and an opportunity to identify gaps and improve project delivery.

In response Plan International,provides a rapid yet holistic package of services to migrants in Colombia where the majority of displaced people are. Women, adolescent girls and children are walking extraordinary distances in search of safety, food, healthcare and education. Despite boarder areas being hot spots, most people continue on to larger cities in search of services. Between February-October 2019 Plan started operations in Bogota due to the high case load and complex needs found within the Venezuelan population. In close coordination with partners, we deliver response services in a migrant centre, a transit bus terminal, as well as roaming mobile outreach services in hard-to-reach urban hot spots. Services include SRHR, child and maternal health, mental health and psycho-social support for children and caregivers, nutrition consultation, GBV prevention and legal advice. Colombia hosts over 1.1 million Venezuelan refugees (Feb 2019) 59% hold regular status allowing them to stay in Colombia for 2 years with access to employment, health, education. The other 41% with an irregular status (UNHCR) are considered more vulnerable and include a higher number of children and women. The increasing Venezuelan population led to a collapse in institutional capacity, leading to a humanitarian crisis in the Health sector. UNHCR figures show that 99% of registered Venezuelans are not covered by the health system (feb19). The project adopts a multi-sectoral approach focusing on Protection and Health responding to the direct needs of 4500 Venezuelan migrant communities in Bogota and other neighbourhoods in the city. An alert was raised on finding public health diseases (incl HIV) associated with food insecurity and poor hygiene practices, mainly in children under 5. Hospitalisation, medicines and care for chronic diseases were not accessible to all migrants. Health information is scarce, including MHM support. Pregnant & lactating women have no access to life saving antenatal and postnatal care. Venezuelan girls and adolescents are frequently targets of sexual exploitation and violence due to their high vulnerability. Today UNHCR reports 294,860 Venezuelans (+\- 60.000 under age 18) in Bogota, receiving limited attention of the international aid community. Most of them arrive in Bogota through the main transport terminal in Ciudad Salitre. From there, it is crucial to provide them with immediate assistance as their health has deteriorated and many are subject to protection risks, including SGBV. Plan will work within the state-led Migrant Center (Centro Integral de Atención al Migrante) in Santa Fe to conduct Protection activities with children and adolescents, focusing on (adolescent) girls, GBV prevention & response, support legal consultations. Local partner Fundacion Halu provides (mental) health care through a mixed approach: in service centers authorized by the District Health Secretary and across the city in mobile health units. The following vulnerabilities will be prioritised: people with urgent medical and food security needs, including malnutrition and communicable or chronic diseases, pregnant & lactating women, those forced to have sex for survival or at risk of sexual exploitation, trafficking and smuggling, and boys, girls and adolescents, including unaccompanied children. Plan and Fundacion Halu adopt a multi-sectoral approach focusing on Protection and Health responding to the needs of Venezuelan migrant communities in Bogota. The project provides life-saving support to 4,500 migrants (1600 females, 1200 males, 1000 girls, 700 boys) arriving at the Migrant Center in Teusaquillo and in other neighborhoods in the city. Halu works in the Migrant Center and a Health facility in Barrios del Centro, Santa Fe, where prostitution is prevalent and other 3 mobile health units for remote areas. Halu targets 2,000 migrants with medical consultation, nursing, basic laboratory tests for pregnant women, girls, children under 5 and people with chronic health problems and treatment of cases of sexual violence and reproductive health. A gendered nutrition care approach focuses on pregnant women, girls and boys and adults at risk of malnutrition. Halu informs migrants on the state health system, while providing health promotion, focusing on menstrual health products for adolescent girls, baby kits for PLW, and child birth kits as per the Health sector recommendations. Protection activities take place at the Migrant Centre. Plan runs a Child Friendly Space providing psychosocial support, information on human and child rights, age and gender sensitive recreation for girls and boys. Halu supports trauma counselling with clinical psychologist stationed at the centre. Plan staff identify vulnerable children for referral to government social workers and Halu for medical response. Plan trains government Centre staff on migrant, refugee rights, entitlements and status, other forms of protection, child protection standards and identification & referral of children at risk. Existing referral pathways are reviewed and strengthened. In an Adolescent Space Plan provides life skills, dignity kits and access to family planning and maternal and child health care. Emergency shelters are available to GBV survivors through an arrangement with the Colombian Red Cross.The intervention will be implemented within 6 months with the first month dedicated to the logistical/administrative set up; finalisation of the agreement with service providers related to GBV survivors' shelters (Colombian Red Cross), recruitment of additional staff incl CFS facilitators and training on different protection topics. As activities are planned directly with the Migration and Health government bodies, no specific permits will be required. With regards to the Centro Integral de Atención al Migrante, the first month will be used to equip the CFS and the Women/Girls friendly space with the appropriate material. This time will be used to plan together with the center holders the dates for the training of local authorities and the referral system workshop. In parallel, the procurement of dignity kits and health items (menstrual hygiene, mother and baby kits) will also be initiated. Activities will be ongoing(center open 6days/week) with the last month for handover & reporting. GENDER: As Venezuelan women and girls are at great risk of SGBV, the focus is on protection of females in situations of prostitution & sexual exploitation. Increased access to protection and health services enables them to better meet their needs with dignity. Plan integrates protection and gender-sensitivity for females to increase their coping mechanism, resilience and transferable life-skills. CAPACITY BUILDING: In the Center, government staff will be trained on migrants and refugee rights & entitlements, other forms of protection/alternative legal stay arrangements, child protection standards and identification and referral of children at risk. The cooperation with local authorities will increase the implementation capacity in refugee rights expertise of local civil society. The involvement of government staff will strengthen the capacity of local administration to maintain an effective response to the Venezuelan migrants after project end. ACCOUNTABILITY: Health facilities including the migrant center, specifically the CFS and Adolescent/Girls space will be facilitated by Plan staff to monitor a child-friendly feedback & complaints mechanism. Each piece of feedback/complaint received is recorded and followed up for resolution by the Plan MEAL department. Comments are collected weekly, analyzed and incorporated in subsequent planning and, if necessary, the adaptation of activities. Beneficiaries are continuously reminded and encouraged to use this feedback mechanism. Plan focuses on building human and social capital as it is integral to strategic community investment; it leverages and multiplies the impact of the intervention by strengthening local partner organizations, increasing the likelihood of project success and sustainability. Plan has focused part of its intervention in a government-owned center, working hand in hand with state extension staff and providing them with capacity building opportunities on refugee and migrant rights, tools necessary for them to take the intervention forward after the project period ends. Additionally, through this intervention, Plan's local partner Halu will participate in capacity building on various protection issues and safeguarding.

This allows them to obtain a diploma in two years, with which they can continue studying, find a job or start their own business. The project is being implemented in three densely refugee populated districts in Jordan, namely Marka, Mafraq and Hashmi. By bringing the expertise of Plan International Jordan, Johud (local implementing partner) and technical partner Aflatoun, the project offers a concrete future perspective for Syrian and Jordanian girls and boys who have not gone to school because of the crisis. The crisis in Syria has been going on for seven years and poverty among Syrian refugees in Jordan is huge. They live in crowded neighborhoods with very limited facilities. Many parents find it unsafe in Jordan and want to protect their daughters against sexual violence. Additionally, they are looking for ways to feed their children. Resulting in marrying off their daughters. A third of the girls are married before the age of fifteen. This is disastrous for girls as 96% of married girls do not return to school or work. This also applies to unmarried girls who are kept at home. They are completely isolated from the outside world. The boys are mainly sent out to earn money for the family. Half of Syrian children work. Often it is poorly paid, irregular and unsafe work, without protection. In a quarter of the families, the child is even the family's breadwinner. Going to school is not an option for this group of young people. There are regular schools where the government has made room for Jordanian and Syrian children. However, the target group of this project cannot join as the government prohibits young people who have not been to school for more than three years to participate in regular education. They may take part in non-formal education in mainstream schools, but the quality of education is low due to overcrowded classrooms, insufficient teaching materials and poorly trained teachers. An important reason that Syrian youths are not working is that they were unable to finish their school because of the crisis. They cannot find a regular job with a market-level salary without a degree from a (professional) study program. For girls, the situation is even worse: once married, they no longer work. Our experience is that it is therefore extremely important to talk to the parents and convince them on the need for education of girls, for their own development and to contribute to family income. Plan International, together with its partners, JOHUD and Aflatoun, is working on two result areas that start in parallel and lead to the main objective of bringing back to school the most vulnerable Syrian girls and boys between 12 and 24 years and their Jordanian peers, without training or decent work. The Talents Unlimited project starts with the recruitment and selection of young people who will take part in route 1 or route 2. Adolescents aged between 13 and 17 are eligible for the alternative curriculum. All young people first take an assessment to determine their level in order to join the right level. The alternative education curriculum is fixed and made by the government. This allows young people to obtain a diploma in two years with which they can transfer to further education. Girls and boys aged 12 cannot start alternative education according to the law. In order to ensure that they do not end up on the streets or at home, they receive a one-year transition program. The transitional classes consist of various activities. After this they can move on from 13 years to alternative education. The Talents Unlimited project also ensures that young people between the ages of 18 and 24 who have not attended education for more than three years get a chance to receive vocational training. This gives them the prospect of relevant work and obtaining an income. This is done by facilitating access to the right vocational training, as well as by giving good guidance and transition to the labor market or starting up your own company. In 2017 Plan International and JOHUD started a small pilot to offer training and employment to one hundred Syrian youngsters between 16-24 years. This project will end at the end of 2018. Talents Unlimited can build on the learning experiences of this project.This program contributes to the achievement of the government's objectives for 2018-2020 in the field of education and employment of young people between the ages of 12 and 24. Non-formal education is offered at the regular government schools. JOHUD is the only NGO that can also offer non-formal education in Jordan. JOHUD has so far provided non-formal education to a limited number of young people in three centers in Jordan. This program increases JOHUD's capacity to provide non-formal education by adding an extra shift in two centers, and by extending it to a third nearby center. In addition to alternative education, the project also offers psychosocial support, recreational activities, digital skills and life skills, so that young people can process traumas, develop social and cognitive skills and develop themselves. This enriches the curriculum of the alternative education of the government and helps the most vulnerable groups to return to school and obtain a diploma. The awareness activities about the importance of education for all reinforce the Back to School campaign that JOHUD carries out in collaboration with the government. The educational trajectory is for 2,000 adolescent girls (60%) and boys (40%), who have not been to school for 3 years and therefore cannot return to regular education. Age: 12-17 years. 70% of these are Syrians and 30% are the remaining peers in Jordan. The employment trajectory is for 1,000 young adult women (60%) and men (40%), who have no work, have not been to school for 3 years and therefore cannot return to mainstream education. Age: 18-24 years. 70% of these are Syrians and 30% are the remaining peers in Jordan. Through the project, adolescents (12-17) can follow alternative education and transitional classes in three centers of JOHUD. This allows young people to obtain a diploma in 2 years with which they can transfer to further education. In addition, adolescents are offered extra skills that regular education does not offer. This includes: Life skills; Psychosocial support and recreational activities; basic skills for reading, writing and arithmetic; and ICT skills. Girls and boys aged 12 cannot start alternative education according to the law. In order to ensure that they do not end up on the streets or at home, they receive a one-year transition program. After this they can move on to alternative education. After two years of alternative education, the girls and boys will do exams and if they pass, they obtain their diploma. After this they are supported with and encouraged to do a follow-up training. The project also ensures that young people (18-24) who have not attended education for more than 3 years get a chance to receive vocational training. This gives them the prospect of relevant work and an income. A market analysis is done to see which vacancies there are and to determine the relevant markets for business start-up. Once selected, beneficiaries are prepared for the vocational training. They receive training in life skills, financial skills, ICT and entrepreneurship. Based on market analysis, level and interest, they are linked to the appropriate vocational training. After the completion of vocational education, a part of the graduates is guided to a job. The young people who want to start their own business are helped to make a business plan. If this plan is good enough, they will receive a start-up package. There are always extra ambitious young boys and girls who want to learn more or want to specialize. The project offers the best-performing students a chance for a scholarship for a follow-up program. This project supports Syrian girls in their fight for equal treatment. This happens in particular because the parents, the girls and the environment are well informed about the importance of education and self-development thanks to the information and awareness sessions in the community and the life skills program. The market research and the assessments ensure that the vocational training courses better match the demand of the labor market. In addition, the extra life skills and digital skills increase the career opportunities on the labor market for young people. The project also contribute to social cohesion, one of the government's spearheads, because we not only offer Syrians with a training or a job, but also Jordanian peers. The graduate youth and their families will become financially independent. Since they are either supported in obtaining a job or start a business that gives them their own income. Once they have enough income they can also let their brothers, sisters and children go to school. This helps not only the young people themselves but also the next generation to build a better future. Because of our focus on girls and young women, we mainly ensure that this target group can break the spiral of poverty for themselves and for their children.

Interventions were based on the findings of the National Institute of Disaster Management (I.N.G.C.) and Plan’s rapid needs assessments including on SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights), child protection and MHM (Menstrual Hygiene Management). Plan identified rural Buzi Locality and Beira District as the most affected areas. 90% of Beira District was destroyed and more than 600,000 people were affected, incl. 260,000 children. The high poverty levels here result in low coping mechanisms and limited preparation efforts. 4,363 houses were partly damaged, 11,020 completely destroyed and 40.000 people were evacuated from flood areas. In this short term rapid response, Plan responded in the sectors of Child Protection in Emergencies and Shelter/Non Food Items (NFI) distribution. Cyclone Idai ripped through Mozambique as a high-end Category 2 storm with 175 kph winds. While the official death toll stands at 468 (acaps 27 March) in Mozambique, it's expected to rise significantly. Due to continuous heavy rains floods are still imminent and the damaged cause is unprecedented. Families residing in rural areas where poverty levels are high and coping mechanisms low are most effected.More than 1.85 million people are affected in the region of whom 780,000 are children (UNICEF). Plan has identified Sofala as the worst impacted area - 90% of Beira has been destroyed and more than 600,000 people affected including 260,000 children(Plan RNA), and 136,000 people in temporary evacuation centres (UNOCHA, 27 March). Beira is largely comprised of families residing in rural areas where poverty levels are high and coping mechanisms low.Plan interventions are based on the RNA findings form the National Institute of Disaster Management and Plan’s own Gender and Protection Needs assessment done in Buzi distict (April 2019). Plan has identified Sofala (rural Buzi and Beira), through its RNA, as the most affected area. Families residing in rural areas where poverty levels are high and coping mechanisms low are most effected. The immediate needs of the affected population, but particularly the needs of those who are often invisible (for example in rural Buzi) are our first priority. The different needs and accessibility of the young and old, male and female, abled and disabled will be analysed in the RNA that will be updated during the next weeks to ensure that everyone has safe and equal access to support. The program specifically targets children, child-headed households, unaccompanied minors, adolescents, female headed households, people with restricted movement. There will be a central role of women in selection of beneficiaries to ensure equitable and dignified access to distributions and ensure that these materials are appropriate for users. Community awareness raising activities and community resilience building including strengthening of community protection committees and community DRM committees will create support and give sustainability to the interventions. In the youth safe spaces, SGBV issues are addressed through gender-sensitive approach for girls and boys. As soon as possible, PSS for traumatized children and referral mechanisms are established. Survivor-centred multisectoral services for prevention of SGBV and response are strengthened. Plan will partner with local organisation AJOAGO and build on existing protection programs in the affected area. Plan and AJOAGO will build on existing protection programs in the affected area. Implementation is local-partner led. Plan and AJOAGO have a long standing partnership since 2015, including protection and disaster response. Drawing on their combined technical capacity and reach Plan and AJOAGO will engage communities to strengthen existing child protection and PSS mechanisms (building on their existing programs). The Response is coordinated through the INGC. Plan takes active part in cluster coordination meetings (WASH, Protection, Education, Logistics) and aligns with the OCHA coordination mechanisms wherever and whenever possible. During the course of the intervention the RNA will be updated regularly. Plan partner 'Food for the Hungry' is active in Buzi and Beira in the sectors WASH and FSL. Coordination is ongoing (both Plan and FH are member of the CHEMO disaster consortium) and referral pathways for victims will be established in harmonisation and coordination with partners on the ground, including INGC and UN organisations. Strategic Objective Idai response: Deliver immediate, life-saving assistance to girls, boys, women and men most urgent need in line with national response plan and sphere standards. Specific Objective project proposal: Provide life-saving NFI and Protection assistance to the most vulnerable people/population in Buzi and Beira. 1.000 families targeted with NFI kits including hygiene items 1750 women and girls provided with dignity kits. 1750 women and girls educated on MHM 5 safe spaces created for 2500 young people PSS and case management for 100 traumatized children The immediate needs of the affected population, but particularly the needs of those who are often invisible (for example in rural Buzi) are our first priority. The different needs and accessibility of the young and old, male and female, abled and disabled will be analysed in the RNA that will be updated during the next weeks to ensure that everyone has safe and equal access to support. The program specifically targets: children, child-headed households, unaccompanied minors, adolescents, female headed households, people with restricted movement. There will be a central role of women in selection of beneficiaries to ensure equitable and dignified access to distributions and ensure that these materials are appropriate for users. NFI: At the moment 4,363 houses are confirmed to be partly damaged and 11,020 completely destroyed (INGC sitrep 20/30/2019). 40.000 people are evacuated from flood areas, and many more seek refuge on rooftops and high grounds. Plan proposes a first-line NFI response through the provision of NFI kits including mosquito nets and water purification tablets, following INGC standards. Protection: In cyclone affected areas, sexual violence and transactional sex particularly for adolescents and young women young due to competition over scarce resources can substantially increase. Plan aims to strengthen existing community based child protection mechanisms, that were already supported by AJOAGO (Plan's local partner), and establish youth-friendly spaces including case management where prevention and response to SGBV and PSS is provided as well as dignity kits for young women. Result 1: 1.000 families provided with non-food items and hygiene support including MHM. Activity 1: Families are provided with NFI kits according to INGC guidelines. The kit will contain cooking utensils, blankets, impregnated mosquito nets and water purification tablets. These items will contribute significantly in the prevention of water borne diseases and malaria and will be accompanied by mobile IEC campaigns (see protection). Activity 2: 1.750 women and girls supported with dignity kits and MHM education. Result 2: 10.000 persons receive an appropriate protection response. Activity 1: Mobile teams revive community structures (e.g. child protection committees, youth clubs, community leaders) that are already supported by local partner Associação dos Jovens e Amigos de Guvuro (AJOAGO) and set up community-based protection mechanisms and provide awareness on SGBV, menstrual hygiene and child protection Activity 2: Establish 5 safe spaces for children and youth where, amongst others SGBV issues will be addressed and girls and boys can discuss and share their specific needs taking into consiseration gender equality and inclusion. Activity 3: Psycho Social Support for 100 traumatized children and referrals are provided. As soon as possible survivor-centred multisectoral services for prevention, response and building resilience on SGBV and referral systems will be established. Result 3: Targeted population has access to feedback mechanism Activity 1: Complaint and feed-back mechanisms, through score-cards/suggestion box/hotline & through sex-age disaggregated information from FGD, are activated and included in M&E actitities in order to adjust project activities in line with changing needs of the population. The National response will last much longer than the proposed project cycle of six months. It is expected that more funds will come to allow to continue the intervention till at least September 2020, according to the Mozambique DRM strategy.

Due to the rains, many houses have collapsed and over 15,000 people seek shelter in schools (which prevents access to education for students ), churches and other camps. Due to overcrowding, there is lack of privacy for young women and girls, who are living in these shelters, which affects their health and general wellbeing. Agricultural fields and small livestock have been washed away. There is a critical need for food, potable water, shelter and sanitary facilities. Plan International Malawi will respond to immediate unmet lifesaving needs of the affected households to enable them to return home, provide household water, sanitation and hygiene (including menstrual hygiene management) and ensure that nutrition needs are met. Plan supports families to kick-start livelihood activities through the provision of start-up funds, to prevent people from resorting to harmful coping mechanisms.

It is currently experiencing the worst displacement crisis since 2013. The number of people in need has risen from 2.5 million to 2.9 million including 1.6 million in need of acute and immediate assistance, an increase of 16% between 2017 and 2018. This project aims at 1. protecting most vulnerable children and adolescents through community based child protection and comprehensive case management 2. enhancing most vulnerable households' access to cash through a community cash for asset program and unconditional cash transfers. The project is implemented by Plan with a local partner CPDE and targets 25052 individuals, esp. most vulnerable children and adolescents, child GBV survivors, food insecure and vulnerable families. It is implemented in 2019 (12 months) in a consortium, led by Cordaid. With the increase of violence and the already huge protection concerns prevailing in the Central African Republic due to lack of governance and justice, provision of Protection is agreed to be of the utmost concern in this fragile context. The Protection Cluster estimates that 2,360,000 people need humanitarian protection interventions.(OCHA, 2018). Women and children, especially those in displacement sites or in the bush for an extended period of time, live in precarious conditions and are most at risk of protection. (OCHA, 2018) Following the violence that causes massive forced displacement, children are left alone in displacement sites or on the streets. Girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence. Boys often join groups of street children or armed groups. Not being protected by adults, these children are more easily accused of witchcraft. The protection needs of these children are multiple, and age- and sex-appropriate responses are needed. According to data from the HNO, from 2014 to the first half of 2018, nearly 12,500 children, including some 3,000 girls, were released from the ranks of armed groups. But only 37% have benefited from reintegration programs and a large number of children are still in the ranks of armed groups. From January to June 2018, the MRM1612 database reported 179 incidents involving 159 children, including 77 girls. For the same period, 453 alleged children associated with armed groups were identified With the increase of violence and the already huge protection concerns prevailing in the Central African Republic due to lack of governance and justice, provision of Protection is a priority concern.

The prefecture of Ouham remains one of the regions most affected by the conflict in CAR and is considered as a chronic needs area. Ouham population constitutes of 289.000 people in need out of a total population of 438.000 people. Ouham remains very fragile with 6 humanitarian hotspots, including Bouca and Bossangoa. The population is very vulnerable to new shocks as the means to be self-reliant in terms of food, shelte or livelihood are lacking. Affected people frequently lose their assets (shelter, non-food items, food, etc.) and their livelihoods. This situation is aggravated by the precarious socio-economic infrastructure in the country. CPIE Protection and Response Intervention : 1. Strengthen the PROTECTIVE environment for girls and boys through 1. a. Strengthening knowledge/skills of boys and girls to protect themselves and their peers 1. b.

Zimbabwe has counted at least 102 deaths and 217 people reportedly still missing. Hundreds more are injured. These figures are expected to rise in the days ahead. Around 225,000 people across the three districts of Chimanimani, Chipinge and Mutare have been affected by the disaster, of whom an estimated 60 percent are children. Plan International teams are based at the Skyline Civil Protection Unit Command Centre in Chimanimani district where many displaced people have set up camp. Alongside the Zimbabwean Government and other INGO's, we are coordinating an emergency response prioritising food, shelter, clean water and sanitation for those affected.

As an emergency response Plan International distributes blankets, dignity kits and utensils to affected families, as well as mosquito nets and water purification tablets. We are mobilising child protection teams to prevent gender-based violence by raising awareness among communities of the risks for girls and young women and by providing training to ensure that any incidents are quickly reported to the authorities. As a child rights organisation with a strong focus on gender equality, our primary concern is the safety, security and needs of children, especially girls and young women – including expectant and breastfeeding mothers.

A rate that continues to rise. This project (April 2019 - October 2021) improves the access of vulnerable youth (60% women) between 18-24 years to market-driven decent work opportunities in communities of San Pedro Carchá (North Guatemala). By strengthening their capacities and improving their businesses and labour skills their incomes will increase and their living conditions will improve. Additionally the project will contribute to the local and regional economies. Plan International implements the project with the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Agriculture, Tourism Office, municipalities, development councils, National Education Technical Institute (INTECAP) and financial organizations (banks, microfinances). It builds on previous experiences and methodologies such as Entrepreneurship/Employability Clubs, blended approach using mobile technology labs and face-to-face training. Guatemala is a young country, with more than 65% of the population under 29 years that faces an unemployment and sub-employment crisis, especially in rural areas with less infrastructure and private sector investment. One-in-four Guatemalan youth neither study nor work, continuously rising rate . In the department of Alta Verapaz, the youth unemployment rate is 5.54% (52% women, 48% men). Although this rate seems low, the economically active population is mainly dedicated to agriculture activities and to work in the informal sector with low incomes and poor working conditions. Among young people in this region, 24% are illiterate and only 44% are studying at the secondary level. Up to 77.2% of these young people live in poverty, with 30.2% in extreme poverty. Furthermore, in the rural areas, for every 10 students, only three are young women. In 2015, 5.713 births were reported among underage girls. As of August 2017, there have been a total of 13 marriages among young women under 18 years of age. Additionally, more than 1,200 cases of violence against women have been reported in the department of Alta Verapaz this year. Many companies do not hire youth, stigmatizing them as violent or assuming they are unmotivated or unqualified, lacking market-responsive skills. This creates a paradox in which youth are unemployed, but also unemployable. Many of the existing jobs remain in urban or peri-urban areas, difficult for rural youth to access. These barriers shortchange both youth and employers, preventing many talented youth from contributing meaningfully to the economy. Plan will be implementing its Youth Employment Solutions model and pathway to promote entrepreneurship and support youth for their transition to employment based on technical and soft skills trainings. The project is focused on four components to achieve the following outcomes: Component 1: Entrepreneurship pathway: 1. Outcome 1: Youth in entrepreneurship clubs with strengthened entrepreneurial skills and with abilities to generate their own income. Indicators: number of youth participating in clubs; number of youth trained to develop business plans and business management; number of youth equipped with soft skills; organization of Business Start-up event; establishment of new businesses; number of youth who has improved their businesses and participation of youth in commercial fairs. Component 2: Employability pathway 2. Outcome 2: Youth in employment clubs with life skills strengthened and have the ability to pursue wage employment opportunities. Indicators: number of youth participating in clubs; number of youth trained with soft and technical skills; support for job readiness; number of youth placed in jobs and in internship. Component 3: Community awareness 3. Outcome 3: Members of targeted communities support the importance of Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) and gender equality. Indicators: number of local leaders engaged; number of parents sensitized to support the young people economic empowerment and gender equality; and dialogues initiated to engage influential cultural leaders. Component 4: Enabling environments 4. Strategic alliances with the private sector and governmental institutions strengthened /consolidated. Indicators: agreements signed with institutions and organisations; network of local and regional buyers consolidated. The project builds on the entrepreneurship and employability Clubs, which are key methodologies developed in previous YEE projects and have demonstrated positive results and impact on participating youth. The project supports young entrepreneurs who have started their businesses in previous projects of Plan International. By providing them with technical assistance, mentoring, access to potential clients, these young entrepreneurs will be able to formalize and scale-up their businesses. The Project contributes to the Country Strategy´ Goals 2018-2022 of Plan International Guatemala, and specifically, with the National Program “Learn”. The methodology used is aligned with Plan´s Global of Distinctiveness Area “Skills and Opportunities for Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship” (SOYEE) and the Theory of Change, incorporating key life and work competencies. Furthermore, Plan will strengthen partnerships established in previous projects with the local representatives of the Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture. In this way, Plan will contribute to the socio-economic development of the region supporting these institutions to achieve their own targets. 550 vulnerable youth (60% women) of 30 communities of the municipality San Pedro Carchá will participate in the Entrepreneurship (500 young people) and Employability Clubs (50 young people).

It intends to provide access to life-saving (child) protection services, including psychosocial support, for vulnerable children such as unaccompanied and separated children, children with disability and other children at risk and to prevent child abuse. GBV is mainstreamed. The approach is community-based with capacity building of community members, including children and adolescents, to prevent violence, abuse, neglect or exploitation – including GBV, protect and care for unaccompanied, separated and other vulnerable children at-risk of violations/survivors of violence. Inter communal conflict erupted between Guji Oromo and Gedeo ethnic groups in April 2018. Communities/household's assets were damaged, massive displacement occurred and death and physical injuries were recorded. As of September 2018, a total of 822,187 displaced girls, boys, women and men are living in different IDP sites in Gedeo zone. The overall security situation has improved but multiple protection concerns remain/were exacerbated, discriminations and tensions between IDP and host communities are apparent. Main child protection concerns and needs identified are presence of unaccompanied and separated children, trauma and psychological distress among children and high risk of gender based violence, especially for women and girls. Insufficient quantities of water and firewood prompt girls and women to walk long distances outside IDP sites, which exposes them at heightened risk of GBV. It was reported that, when they fled their homes, women were raped, including experiencing gang rape. After the government decided that IDPs should return to their place of origin in September 2018, there has been a massive relocation of people within Gedeo Zone, from Gedeo to West Guji zone and from West Guji to Gedeo Zone, adding forced returnees to the IDP population in the sites. The returnees lack NFIs and shelter and require both material and psychosocial support. Parents decided often to return without their children, wanting to check the security situation before. The return program is spearheaded by officials from the political offices, hampering the work from the Woreda Child Affairs. Large number of IDPs do not want to return and move to the host community, making it more difficult to follow-up on UASCs and other vulnerable children who were already identified. Child Protection: The project builds on the socio-ecological model of Child Protection and aligns with Plan’s Global Child Protection Strategy and logframe, composed of 3 overarching CPiE Objectives : 1. Strengthen the protective environment: children, caregivers and communities recognize risks and prevent and respond to them; 2. Promote access to age and gender appropriate services: children and families can access quality services to prevent and respond to violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation appropriate to the best interest of the child and in line with minimum standards. 3. Child protection monitoring, coordination, policy and advocacy: Plan International is part of inter-agency efforts to improve (sub) state level advocacy and policy change to improve the lives of children affected by violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation before, during and after emergencies. The project is funded by UNICEF and will be implemented in close collaboration with Bureau of women and Children Affairs and Agency of Labour and Social Affairs (BoWCA & ALSA). The project will closely work with other clusters such as CPGBV sub cluster, Education Cluster, Nutrition Cluster and community groups. The project will also be focusing on strengthening the government system and establish/strengthen effective community based child protection mechanism. The project will also work very closely with child protection partners in West Guji, Oromia state such as Imagine One Day International and Ethiopian Red Cross Society, to follow up cases of cross border reunification of children. More specifically, Plan International will work together with Zonal Women and Children Affairs Office on the day to day project implementation. Furthermore, Plan International will coordinate the implementation with other partner who will provide different service in the IDPs sites and host community and enhance referral mechanisms. In addition, Plan International will promote community based program and closely work with the elders, community representatives, religious leaders and parents.

Children and youth are the most affected as for instance school enrolment and retention has decreased also because families tend to keep their children and youth at home because of security reasons. The objective of the project Nicaragua Social Crisis Response is to support children, adolescents and youth through access to education and gender-sensitive child protection. All activities are implemented by Plan International Nicaragua and its local partners and include: creating safe and friendly community spaces; mobilization and training of teachers and other education personnel to encourage school attendance by children and adolescents; empower adolescents and youth in the safe use of social networks to disseminate key messages for protection from domestic violence and other forms of violence. The working areas of the project are selected communities in Chontales and Boaco. The project is part of a bigger program which will include activities in the sectors of livelihood (economic empowerment) and health as well. Funds are being raised by Plan Nicaragua among other national offices of Plan International. Since April 2018, Nicaragua is having a severe socio political crisis. Before the crisis the international organizations had placed Nicaragua as one of the three fastest growing economies in Latin America and the Caribbean. In Central America, only Panama would exceed the Nicaraguan growth rate of gross domestic product. But now, the crisis threatens the goal of economic growth in Nicaragua. Economic growth targets for 2018 are under pressure, after the stoppage and irregular economic activities, that by now lasted for 4 months, due to the socio-political crisis unleashed by the government to repress demonstrations, which is impacting the generation and stability of jobs, the arrival of investment and rising inflation, economists experts say. The crisis impacts families all around the country in their income and security. End beneficiaries are 2,797 selected families in Chontales and Boaco, including 2,665 girls and 2,094 boys. RESULT 1: Children and adolescent boys and girls and their families have strengthened their physical-mental health and their ability to identify risk factors and protective factors against sexual abuse and gender-based violence in crisis situations RESULT 2: Educational Community implement actions in crisis situations for school retention in temporary learning environments during early recovery The project is part of a bigger program of which the other elements still need funding within Plan International (June 2019). If no funds are secured for these other elements, this will impact the sustainability of the results of the project.

By developing good MHM practices at schools it is expected that female drop-out rates will decrease and the capacity of girls to claim their right to education and participate in social, political and economic life will increase. One of the main activities is to develop and promote modules for MHM activities for use in these projects that target adolescents through primary and secondary schools, but also through youth clubs, Village Savings and Loan (VSL) groups or other relevant social structures. The project started on 1 July 2019 as a pilot and is a component of the Wutomi SRHR project in Inhambane, Mozambique. After one year, scaling up is foreseen in other SRHR programmes in Mozambique. The project is implemented by Plan Mozambique. Many children in Mozambique do not complete education. Between 2007 and 2016, students who complete seven years of schooling annually represent only 45.6% on average. And only 30% of the students who enter first grade annually complete the 70th grade in seven years. There is also a persistent gender gap. Compared to boys less girls complete primary and secondary education and girls have higher drop-out rates particularly at the secondary level. One of the reasons why girls in Mozambique cannot fully realise their right to education is linked to menstruation. Often, facilities for girls (sanitary towels, separate WCs / latrines, water) are not available at school, and girls may rather prefer to stay at home. As a result many girls fall behind their peers and even drop-out from education completely. The problem is poorly recognized. Research about the relation between menstruation and school attendance specifically for Mozambique is not available, but the WHO estimates that 1 in 10 school-age African girls ‘do not attend school during menstruation’ (Progress on sanitation and drinking-water – 2013 update. Geneva, WHO.) Similarly , statistics from the WB shows that girls are absent from school 4 days every 4 weeks on average. The proposed MHM intervention does not only addresses the practical needs of girls, but also addresses the underlying social norms about sexuality, reproductive health and gender norms. Providing opportunities for girls for menstrual hygiene like proper sanitation, safe spaces and education about MHM, will increase their school participation as they will have an enabling environment at school for this. The MHM project will focus on the following activities: 1. Advise and train project staff (PIM and partners) about MHM inclusion 2. Develop tailor-made interventions for MHM. May include minor rehabilitation of WASH facilities 3. (Co-)implement tailor-made interventions for MHM (per project) 4. Facilitating awareness raising activities in schools and communities 5. Liaise with schools and enrich school curriculum with MHM issues, including education for girls and boys on how to produce low-cost hygienic sanitary pads from locally available materials 6. Liaise with VSLA groups and introduce the production of low-cost hygienic sanitary pads from locally available materials for auto-consumption or as IGA. In the first year the MHM project will link up with the Wutomi project in Inhambane, which is working in 8 schools already and planning to work with 7 VSLAs in 2019. This project provides a good breeding ground for the development of good MHM modules. Thereafter, experiences gained in Wutomi will be scaled up to other projects in Inhambane (18+) and Nampula (Yes I Do and Health Women and Girls). The module will be adapted to the intervention context at hand in close collaboration with the soliciting development agency (Plan or Plan-partners). The contextualised MHM intervention will be accompanied with staff training and be monitored and implemented jointly with the development agent’s staff. There will be synergetic effects with government policies. The “Plano Estratégico da Educação 2012-2016” (not renewed yet), aims to tackle gender disparities in education. Already, school budgets allow for spending on MHM, which hardly ever occurs. This MHM initiative will promote the use of existing budget lines in schools for MHM. Existing projects are strengthened and more coherence and synergy within the programme portfolio of Plan will be created. Income generating aspect of this project, when skills are learnt to produce cheap local pads, will create sustainability and enable the trained groups to continue. Teachers are sensitized to include MHM information in their schools and are trained to provide safe spaces for girls and will lobby for appropriate sanitation ate schools. This MHM initiative will promote the use of existing budget lines in schools for MHM.

Target is the people most vulnerable and affected by the conflict. The aim is to provide protection from violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation and provide access to services including WASH at community level. The skills of the adolescents are built. Parents, caregivers and other community members are supported to protect children. Capacity building is done with the Ministry of Social Welfare. Services to prevent children from violence, abuse, neglect, enrollment and exploitation are provided. Also, 1,500 hygiene kits will be delivered to adolescent girls & boys and WASH facilities will be rehabilitated by Plan. "Since 2016, political and social instability, exacerbated by sporadic violence, impacted negatively the life of the civilian population of Cameroon’s South West & North West Regions. As a result, more than 440,000 persons have been displaced. Fundamentally a protection crisis, children are the first affected, their wellbeing highly impacted by the violence surrounding them. Close to 3,700 unaccompanied or separated children need urgent psycho-social care and reunification with their families. Displacements, human rights & children rights violations are frequent as well as rupture of community networks. The Child Protection Area of Responsibility was activated in October, along with activation of other clusters focusing on 4 different pillars: prevention of further abuse; response to children victims of abuse; capacity building of local actors and communities on child protection; advocacy and multisector collaboration on child protection. This proposal contributes to the prevention and response to these critical child protection concerns in NW/SW. Reports of the rapid needs assessment conducted in March 2018 highlighted the ongoing CPiE critical needs are further exacerbated by huge WASH gaps; water supply systems and household toilets are over capacitated particularly in Meme, Mezam and Momo divisions where IDP are settling. Living in overcrowded and unhygienic conditions has increased the risk of water-borne diseases, to which children are most vulnerable. 90% of community structures such as Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and schools do not have a water distribution point or latrine. Adolescents girls are facing challenges due to this absence of facilities for a.o. menstrual Hygiene management (MHM) and often leave CFS to simply use latrine facilities, which leaves them vulnerable to GBV. Support in alleviating the needs of the most vulnerable populations and building the response capacity is needed by the NGO community as the state has limited access to NW/SW." Plan's intervention will target 10,000 individuals through an integrated Protection & WASH program. We will target girls and boys, and other vulnerable community members, with specific attention to adolescents (10-17) who are the most vulnerable and affected by the conflict, aiming to provide protection from violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation and access to services including WASH. Under Protection, the program will focus on both prevention and response to identified CPIE gaps by establishing and strengthening community-based child protection mechanisms (Child Protection Committees, Adolescents Clubs, Child Rights Clubs, Foster families and CFS Animators) and building the skills of the adolescents themselves, as well as the parents, caregivers and other community members to effectively care and protect children (Adolescents Clubs and peer to peer awareness raising sessions). Capacity building will be done hand in hand with the Ministry of Social Welfare Children, especially UASC, child GBV survivors and other vulnerable or at risk children and their families will also be provided access to appropriate and quality services to prevent and respond to violence, abuse, neglect, enrolment and exploitation in line with minimum standards. The services will be based on provision of psychosocial support in CFS and case management procedures and will include among other services FTR, alternative care, psychosocial support and other non-structured focused PSS; they will be coordinated with the Ministry of Social Welfare through a functional referral mechanism. 1,500 dignity & hygiene kits will be delivered to adolescent girls & boys as well as households kits to 4,500 individuals, Awareness raising, 10,000 people will participate in awareness raising activities in the 15 CFSs where WASH facilities will be rehabilitated by Plan." "We are targeting the most vulnerable children severely affected by the conflict including CAFAAGS, displaced, unaccompanied minors and separated children as well as vulnerable young girls/adolescents and survivors of GBV. Special attention shall be paid to children and young persons, indigenous groups (Mbororo), persons with disabilities, female headed households and girls who are more vulnerable in situation of crisis. Plan will programme on the basis of physical, social and personal access for girls, boys, women and men. For example, we will ensure sites are safe and accessible for all through a number of gender- and culture-sensitive strategies (e.g. gender segregated queuing and latrines). Plan will also conduct house-to-house hygiene promotion with teams consisting of one male and one female community mobiliser, helping reach the hardest to access, who are often the most vulnerable – particularly those with limited mobility and those with restricted freedom of movement." "Plan Int. Cameroon integrates considerations of power distribution between women, men, girls and boys, as well as dependent on factors such as race, class, ethnicity, ability, language, sexual orientation, and gender identity within the development and implementation of all projects. The program will be supported by a gender officer and will fully adhere to the DRA PSEA protocol through extensive CRM. A specific focus will be on child safeguarding, which is why a child safeguarding focal point will be appointed and trained to deal sensitively with any child safeguarding complaints and issues. The project will also involve the formation and training of CBCPMs, consisting of local volunteers that will monitor and report issues of child protection within their communities. Adolescent groups will also be established and they will design and conduct awareness raising activities on CP within their communities. Plan will establish in collaboration with boys and girls and community members, feedback and complain mechanisms in project communities. Plan will ensure that the mechanisms established at community level are safe, transparent, appropriate and accessible to all. Staff will be trained to manage the feedback mechanisms and ensure that all complains received are responded to in an appropriate and timely manner and results given back to the communities. Moreover, Post Distribution Monitoring will include questions on project information, satisfaction and staff behavior."

The direct purpose is to integrate STEM education in the targeted schools and to give rural school children, in particular girls (age 10-14/grade 4-8) from Jia County of Shaanxi Province, more interest and confidence in pursuing a higher learning in STEM related fields. To achieve this, capacity of local government and schools will be built to promote and roll out enriched STEM education curricula for implementation in school clubs, with a special focus on girls’ participation in Jia County (outcome 1). 800 girls and boys (65%/35%) have built their capacity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, life skills and gender equality through participation in enriched STEM education offered in the after school clubs (outcome 2). Over the last years, the government started developing a provincial economic demonstration zone in Jia County, being Yujia Economic and Technological Development Zone. At present, several high-tech enterprises have moved into the zone, and there will hopefully be more career opportunities related to STEM in the future in Jia County. Apart from this zone, there are hardly any large-scale enterprises or companies in the county. The Women's Federation, the League Committee and the Science and Technology Associations are the few social and governmental organizations in Jia County. A large numbers of local residents migrate from their homes in the countryside to urban areas for better job opportunities and leave their children behind in their home communities with caregivers. As these left-behind children often lack emotional communication with their parents for a long time, they are tending to be introverted and unwilling to voluntarily express their inner thoughts. Therefore, they are often running into problems such as anxiety, depression, and stress from study and interpersonal strain in life and super-sensitivity, emotional instability. Rural girls in Jia County face a dual hurdle in taking advantage of digitalization. They have less opportunities to access to ICT that their urban peers. Even in case they could have access to ICT, girls are not necessarily encouraged to engaged with digital tools and to develop their skills due to prevailing patriarchal attitudes and gender stereotyping. By introducing STEM education to rural primary and secondary schools in Jia County, we are aiming to bridge the gap for girls in rural Jia County, and to convince the government to invest more in this rural area. Children will be encouraged to take the initiative for their own development process and to participate in the STEM project, to support them to think, explore, reflect and solve problems. The project “Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - Girls Can Do IT!” intends to contribute to the long term impact that Girls and young women, from rural Jia County in Shaanxi Province, are empowered to pursue a future career of their own choice. The direct project purpose is to integrate STEM education in the targeted schools and to give rural school children, in particular girls (age 10-14/grade 4-8) from Jia County of Shaanxi Province, more interest and confidence in pursuing a higher learning in STEM related fields by the end of the project in 2021. To achieve this, capacity of local government and schools will be built to promote and roll out enriched STEM education curricula for implementation in school clubs, with a special focus on girls’ participation in Jia County (outcome 1). And 800 girls and boys (65%/35%) have built their capacity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, life skills and gender equality through participation in enriched STEM education offered in the after school clubs (outcome 2). Education and STEM are the responsibility of the Chinese government. However, Plan sees a huge gap between developed coastal areas in Eastern China and the underdeveloped areas in Western China, and also the difference between urban and rural areas. Since 2017, the Chinese government has officially announced the start of STEM Education. Due to limited availability of funds, technology, and human resources, STEM Education is only implemented in some urban schools with better economic conditions. A guideline to integrate STEM education in the regular curriculum of primary and secondary schools is lacking. Educational authorities, school principals and teachers in poor rural areas have even hardly heard about STEM education. Therefore, Plan International is aiming to explore and demonstrate feasible methodologies to carry out STEM education in rural schools in marginalised areas, while at the same time promoting gender equality and building children’s confidence. The ultimate aim is that awareness and capacity of local education authorities and schools on STEM and gender equality is build and that they will integrate STEM in the regular curriculum. The demonstration and success of STEM projects will gain more empirical experience and more convincing for Shaanxi education authorities to implement STEM Education in rural schools of Shaanxi Province in the future. In 2017, a half year pilot project on STEM has been implemented in Shaanxi Province, using Scratch as programming tool. Based on the learnings from the pilot phase, a full project plan has been developed for Chunhua and Pucheng Counties in Shaanxi Province, using Robotics curriculum because this is offering a development path with different stages to be followed in small groups. The STEM project in Chunhua and Pucheng Counties started in September 2018 and is supported by ASML Foundation for an amount of EUR 350,000. The project will directly benefit 800 children (65% girl, 35% boy) from 15 rural primary and secondary schools in Jia County in Shaanxi province. It will also directly benefit a cohort of 45 teachers. 1) STEM and creativity education philosophy In order to cultivate student’s creativity, ingenuity, and enthusiasm on their project works, we will adopt the innovative education methodology of creative learning spiral developed by MIT Media Lab , to engage children in creative learning process of imagine – create – play – share – reflect – imagine. Drawing on experiences from more than thirty years at MIT's Media Lab, Professor Mitchel Resnick concludes that the best way to cultivate creativity for children is to support them working projects based on their passions, in collaboration with peers and in a playful spirit. Robotic programming course helps children learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively, which are essential skills for life in the 21st century. 2) Robotic programming course pathway Plan International China and partner Roboterra will conduct jointly an assessment on the students’ situation and their needs on STEM education in the targeted schools. Based on the results, robotic programming course pathway for rural girls and boys (age 10-14/grade 4-8) will be provided, to inspire students’ inner engineers and put students, especially girls on the path to pursue and succeed in higher level STEM fields. More than 50 built-in robotic projects are classified into different levels. Hence, children can learn the coding skill as from a beginner to an expert. What’s more, children are able to unlock and explore the new project after they complete the previous challenges. In the beginning robot project will include step by step tutorials broken down into: Building Challenges, Coding Challenges, Knowledge Challenges. These projects are called “Closed” projects because students will be provided with every step of instruction. As students will progress, they will be exposed to “Open” Projects which have much limited instructions but inspire true creativity. 3) Robotic curriculum and student assessment methodology • Based on the lessons learned and the needs assessment, Plan International will work with Roboterra to develop or improve existing robotic curriculum and relevant computer tools with Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology for children, especially girls in rural schools to provide them opportunity to follow their interests and passions, and to become more confident to try new things and express themselves, to work together with their peers, and to be more comfortable with taking risks and making mistakes. The creativity education philosophy of creative learning spiral developed by MIT Media Lab will be used, to engage children in creative learning process. An online learning platform will be implemented to inspect students’ work and give them feedback timely, so students can easily follow the instruction to create their own project. They are able to figure out the problems through watching 3D interactive demonstration by themselves, instead of raising hands and asking teacher specific questions repeatedly, so that students can improve their self-learning ability and teachers can focus on implement of the class. • Plan International will work with Roboterra to develop a student assessment methodology to objectively measure performance of students learning on robotics programming courses. Students should not only be assessed on their ability in coding but also their ability in expressing the project’s significance and development process (Communications skills), and their ability in collaborating with other members (Collaboration skills). 4) Life skills and gender equality training to students The target students will also receive training on life skills and gender equality, including building self-confidence, choosing positive values, active listening, positive communication, decision making skills, knowledge on cyber security and on-line bullying, creative thinking and solving problems skills. The purpose is to equip children, especially girls in rural secondary schools and high-grade of primary schools, with capabilities and opportunities to participate in affairs that affect their development, through interventions including career guidance, life skills, so as to ensure their smooth transition from school to society, and get better prepared for decent work and independent life. The design of the project has followed a participatory approach facilitated by Plan International China in collaboration with the partner and other stakeholders. Plan International China and the partner through their daily interaction with girls and boys in schools, have included the perspective of girls and boys into the design of the project. This process has strengthened the relationships between Plan International China and the partner and ensured that the partner has ownership of the project. The project’s partnership continues through implementation, with a key goal being to build the capacity of local partners to carry out the project. The formed core technical team will be responsible for delivering the ToT for master teachers, and gender awareness-raising trainings and supporting the technology campaigns. Building the capacity of the project partners will provide them with the skills and capacity to continue the work to implement and improve the project over time. The project will establish the online teacher’ support network and support local education bureaus to develop their promotion plan on STEM education. These ways will gradually standardize their regular activities and make the alliance functional, during project implementing process, even after the project ends. Plan International China will continue to transfer its knowledge and skills to the stakeholders involved in this project, by contributing its growing technical resources to the online public platforms and the information sharing system that are to be set up in this project and will continue to function with support from partners upon project completion.

The project started October 2019 and Plan Zambia will improve access to and use of WASH facilities in 19 schools in Chembe district in Zambia to improve health and learner performance of school-aged children, especially girls. By triggering 19 schools using School Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) and Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach, toilets at basic service level will be provided in schools and in communities at household level. Ablution blocks with handwashing and menstrual hygiene facilities will be installed for hygiene promotion. Girls and women will actively become involved in decision taking processes regarding design of gender friendly WASH facilities. In the district Chembe a high number of boreholes are not functional due to high iron content. In the absence of functional water facilities, communities resort to unsafe sources. It is therefore important that the provision of water facilities are accompanied by a robust O&M system to assure their functioning . Current levels of 108 users per latrine drop hole in the project area are twice the recommended ratio of 50:1. The common gender-related barriers are the discrimination and social norms concerning women’s and girls’ bodies, roles and responsibilities. Women and girls are responsible for household tasks and also for the collection of water. This gendered division of labour leaves little time for women and girls, particularly when water sources are not easily accessible. Inadequate WASH provision puts a greater burden on women and girls in their roles in care and unpaid domestic duties. Furthermore, norms of taboo and silence around menstrual hygiene, which frame menstruation and menstruating adolescent girls and women as contaminated or impure, have severe impacts. In the project area schools do not have menstrual hygiene facilities. They are also not aware of the free distribution of menstrual pads by government . Overall objective: Improved health and learning performance of school-aged children especially girls and their communities by reducing the incidence of water and sanitation-related diseases. Specific objectives are: • Improved primary school attendance, health and cognitive development of a child through which WASH may affect early child development, primarily through inflammation, stunting, and anemia; • Greater girls’ participation in school; • Positive hygiene behaviours that may last for life which will helps children develop essential life skills that enable them to take greater responsibility of their own lives based on education that will essentially centre hygiene practices in children’s daily reality, while helping children acquire both knowledge of appropriate hygiene behaviours and the skills to use them; • Outreach to families and communities, through the participation of students in hygiene promotion • Greater equity in schools in the use and access of WASH facilities. The project is an extension of a project implemented from 2016-2019 in 9 schools in the Chembe district. A conclusion of the final evaluation was that the programme had relevant results and has improved WASH in schools. But the results were not sustainable yet and therefore the new project will further strengthening the 9 schools of the previous programme and also focus on 10 new schools. The roles and responsibilities of all actors will be defined contractually. The Ministry of General Education will continue ordering construction of latrines with wash rooms in schools to improve the welfare and dignity of the adolescent girl children. Close supervision of the contractor is essential to ensure adherence to the designs otherwise the structures become compromised in standard and quality. Plan will play an active role during implementation and keep close contact with the local communities. The project focuses on two primary groups: vulnerable and socially excluded children, and girls in particular. The project will be implemented in five (5) wards of the district and benefits a total of 4,716 boys and 4,159 girls of school going age and 7,437 girls and 4,958 boys out of school. Strategic objective 1: Improved WASH services through an effective management and functioning of WASH facilities, reduction in open defecation and improved hygiene in schools. Activities: 1.Construction of small piped water supply schemes at schools 2. Construction of boreholes equipped with hand pump 3. Water quality testing and monitoring 4. Triggering schools using SLTS and surrounding villages using CLTS to construct toilets to basic service level at school and household level 5. Construction of ablution blocks for girls and boys with running water at three (3) secondary schools 6. Construction VIPs appropriate for girls and boys at seven (7) primary schools 7. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all 8. Population is making progress towards the use of safely managed sanitation services 9. Conduct hygiene promotion sessions in handwashing with water and soap in nineteen (19) schools 10. Population is making progress towards better hygiene practices 11. Post-triggering 12. Verification and certifying ODF status by CLTS national team 13. Facilitate joint partnership WASH annual work plans and budgets 14. Training of teachers and extension staff members in participatory sanitation and hygiene promotion using SLTS 1.5.Training community champions, neighbourhood health committees in participatory sanitation and hygiene promotion using SLTS/CLTS 14.Training teachers, extension staff & community champions in data capturing by desegregation and age cohort using DHIS2 and EIMS 15. Women and girls are encouraged to participate in WASH management 16. Socially excluded groups are encouraged to participate in WASH management Strategic objective 2: Increased participation and voice in decision-making and management by women and girls; and improved school attendance for girls Activities: 1. Conduct gender analysis training for Plan International Zambia, teachers & others government staff using the Gender WASH Monitoring Tool (GWMT) 2.Conduct gender analysis among women/girls and men/boys, religious and traditional leaders in the schools and surrounding communities using integrated and appropriate tools (GWMT) 3. Support equality for women & girls in the decision-making process at a local level through school, Ward Gender subcommittees, by conducting sensitisation meetings & follow-ups with Village Gender Transformative Taskforces 4. Conduct education/sensitization of both the school population and surrounding communities in MHM 5. Provide schools with knowledge about support to provision of MHM materials (locally made sanitary pads) for women/girl and men/boys in income generating methodology for economic empowerment Strategic objective 3: School children are promoters of sanitation and hygiene and are effective agents of change within their homes and the communities Activities: 1. Use of SLTS (two models – school to community, community to schools) as a way to promote school leadership, extension of Open Defecation Free (ODF) programming to communities that form the ‘catchment’ of a school with each school conducting 9 outreach activities. 2. Education/sensitization of both the school population (girls, boys and teachers) and surrounding communities around the importance of MHM is done to remove the taboo tag attached to it so that information can get to all. 3. Child rights and gender training Financial and institutional sustainability: After handover of the facilities, the project will review the following regularly to assess contribution of the community to O&M according to the agreed national Sustainable Operation and Maintenance Approach (SOMAp). Plan contributed to its development and works with elected Water Committee, Parent Teachers Association/Community and Local Authority/D-WASHE. By involving students, teachers, parents , communities and government the project is ankered locally. The environmental sustainability is taken care of by keeping he environment of the WASH services clean. Reduced Open Defecation will also contribute to a clean and healthier enviroment. Technical sustainaility is taken care off by using local technology and local technical staff that has the requested skills to install and maintain infrastructure. Spare parts are locally available. The project focuses on increased participation and voice in decision-making and management by women and girls. By tackling the underlying reasons behind gender inequality, women and girls will feel empowered, and social attitudes will have been changed in a positive way.

The NextGen project builds on two Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) projects being implemented by Plan International in collaboration with local partners and government in rural Shaanxi Province, China. The NextGen project demonstrates the success of STEM projects by developing an improved measurement methodology to measure the development of a growth mind-set, and by identifying quick wins for curriculum upgrades to stimulate this. Plan International and partners collect evidence of ‘what works’ and ‘why’ for the Next Generation target group (10-14 years) to develop a ‘growth mindset’. Empirical experience and convincing evidence will be used to advocate among education authorities to implement STEM Education at a larger scale in marginalised rural schools in Shaanxi Province. The NextGen project is executed as a knowledge development project, started in August 2019 and ending in January 2021.

Gender inequality is slowing down the transition towards inclusive growth due to women’s limited access to education and employment. In January 2018 Plan International lndonesia started Wired4Work! (W4W). A 3 year innovative Youth Economic Empowerment (YEE) program that leverages scalable digital solutions to increase the capacity of YEE practitioners in reaching youth in high quality employment. W4W is focused on vulnerable youth (16-29 years old), especially women, in Jakarta, Semarang and Lombok, who acquire vocational and work readiness skills to successfully enter the labour market. Also youth are equipped with life skills. By the end of 2020, 10,000 disadvantaged youth will be trained and 3,000 will have access to decent employment. ILO estimates that 392 million young people have any form of education, employment and training (NEET). Half of those young people live in South Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific. These numbers continue to rise, underlining the urgent need to address global youth unemployment. Indonesia needs an average of 3.2 million additional skilled workers per year, while budget allocations for non-formal (vocational) education are limited, leaving a significant number of youth untrained. This is reflected in a youth unemployment rate of 17.8%. Approximately 8.7 million women are unemployed compared to 6.1 million men, while poor women are likely to be unpaid workers (27% of women compared to 6% of men). Wired4Work will focus on the following components: 1. Private sector engagement: consisted on the creation of shared value implementation approaches and partnerships with private & public sector actors, training institutions and community-based organizations to increase the job opportunities of youth and develop effective market-driven training curricula to fill in the gap between the offer of trainings and the demand needed in the labour market. 2. Youth skills development and empowerment: Digitally enhanced YEE training solutions are developed, leveraged and scaled to enable vulnerable youth, especially young women, to pursue employment and economic empowerment opportunities. Online modules of the training curricula are developed in the demonstration countries and scaled up to other countries through the YES!ACADEMY (e-learning platform). 3. Enabling environment for youth employment, by strengthening alliances and networks: Through regional and local influence, advocacy and support, this component will facilitate and lead alliances that favour greater inclusion in the labour market for vulnerable youth, especially young women. This component is focused on engaging multiple actors/alliances to create an enabling environment for effective youth employment programming. Plan will also offer youth themselves a platform to participate and influence both public and private policy development. 4. Program quality and innovation to leverage impact The improvement and further development of the YES!DIGITAL Ecosystem of Plan International will bring high quality youth employment initiatives to scale, building capacity of Plan International offices to integrate the Digital Ecosystem assets into their YEE programs, and expanding them with additional services to evolve programs into a full circle digitally enhanced approach. New innovations are developed, especially the YES!CNEXT (match platform for job seekers and companies jobs) using a Human Centered Design approach. Wired4Work is built on assets developed by Plan international since 2011 in alliance with one of its partners from the private sector that has resulted in the training of more than 15,000 youth and the transition of more than 12,000 youth into decent work across Asia and Latin America. These assets include the market scan methodology, YES!ME (direct beneficiary monitoring) system and assessment of high level requirements for e-learning management systems. In multiple strategic partnerships with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank’s Solutions for Youth Employment (S4YE) Coalition, Plan International is working together with other parties of the private and public sector to catalyse new public-private sector partnerships and support new innovative programs for youth economic empowerment. Plan International Indonesia works in close coordination with the Ministry of Manpower (MoM) and other ministries to replicate the use of the gender-focused life (soft) skills e-learning module across Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institutions. As a result of this strong collaboration with MoM, the life skills modules have been scaled up to 17 vocational training centers (BLKI), sharing resources to improve quality of instructors and management support. Plan will target almost 10,300 vulnerable youth (age 16-29 years old), in rural and urban areas of the cities of Jakarta, Semarang and Lombok with a 78% participation of young women. The following work plan is considered to lead to the targets and outputs of the project: Component 1: private sector engagement o Conduct a market scan in all implementation areas to determine the labor market trends and opportunities for the target group of vulnerable youth. o Establish agreements with private sector partners to ensure commitment towards hiring youth trained by Plan International, develop traineeship and upskilling opportunities, and create robust mechanisms to link vulnerable youth, particularly young women to opportunities for employment. o Engage with stakeholders to jointly develop market-based and digitally enhanced curricula and training programs. o Create shared value business with companies. Component 2: Youth skills development and empowerment o Development and scaling up digitally enhanced training modules o Development of a strategy for youth recruitment o Equipping youth with technical and vocational skills o Placement of youth in jobs o Create mechanism for community support for youth Component 3: o Engage multiple actors/alliances to create an enabling environment for effective youth employment programming. o Offer youth a platform to participate and influence both public and private policy development. o Utilize big data to support and showcase project impact in a reliable, robust and credible way, and to scale up high quality project components and move toward evidence based influence advocacy. Component 4: o Enhance Alumni engagement by creating a digital platform (or space) which enables students to scale up the network and Capacity building for alumni associations. Plan has secured and allotted funding for at least 10 countries for 2018-2020 to roll out different pieces of the Ecosystem to support programming. But as a key component for the implementation of Plan’s Global Strategic Framework on Youth Employment, Entrepreneurship and Empowerment (YEE), Plan envisions the global adoption of (pieces of the) Ecosystem, with each country office using at least one component for their programs. This will require a comprehensive analysis of the capacities and resources needed to rollout, manage and sustain the effort. Hence, Plan will be undertaking the development of a growth and governance strategy, which would complement the Global Strategic Framework and include the development of a viable business model (e.g. commercial; social enterprise model, such as the open source cooperative; data as an asset; or others) that will guide the organization in securing the resources that will sustain the YES!DIGITAL Ecosystem’s operation and growth.

The WG4C Alliance works under the framework of the Dutch National Action Plan on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 Women, Peace, Security. The WG4C Alliance has been collaborating between 2016-2019. This project is a one-year extension of the WG4C program until the end of 2020. The proposed activities in this WG4C program are contributing to all three sub-objectives that are mentioned in the Policy Framework: A. Protection of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations; B. Fighting against discriminating gender norms, which are obstacles for women to lasting peace; C. Creating equal participation for women in conflict prevention and resolution, peacebuilding, assistance and reconstruction. Key features of South Sudan’s society are pervasive insecurity and deeply entrenched gender inequality, both of which are linked to multi-level cycles of violence. Weak governance in governmental and oppositional held territories, characterized by high levels of impunity means that perpetrators of SGBV usually evade justice. This leaves victims, mostly women and girls, without a chance of redress. Even though South Sudan has both a statutory law (for criminal cases) and customary system (for civil cases), for most South Sudanese men and women, seeking justice means accepting the decisions of ‘traditional’ leaders (chiefs and elders) who act in an informal hierarchy in most Bomas (A-Court), Payams (B-Court) and Counties (C-court) and who administer also the large majority of criminal cases and virtually all civil cases. Application of customary laws often happens at the detriment of human rights principles, especially the rights of women and girls. While representatives of the parties to the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) agreed to a 6-month extension of the pre-transition period to November 2019, the high-level political conflict continues as well as concurrent inter- and intra-communal conflicts. Gender identities, norms and stereotypes play a role as drivers of conflict and at the same time other drivers of conflict are reinforcing gender inequality and sexual and gender-based violence (S/GBV). Overall, South Sudanese women still lack meaningful access to structures that aim to transform conflict and increase democratic governance at local, subnational and national levels. However, the current ‘no war, no peace’ situation presents as well an opportunity for women to take their rightful position in society. The relative stability enables women leaders at the community level to connect to women leaders at state and national level across conflict lines. This motivates the WG4CA to continue its programme in the three states in 2020. In the proposal development workshop it was stated that the barriers identified in the ToC are still applicable in 2020: A legacy of war, normalizing a culture of violence; Deeply rooted gender imbalance and inequality: based on internalized ‘traditional’ values and social norms, unequal treatment and exclusion from decision making of women and girls appear legitimate; Continuous economic crisis results in forced survival/negative coping mechanisms; Weak rule of law: declining influence of traditional authorities, weak state institutions and a culture of impunity limits women's and girls' access to protection, education, medical and legal services. Based on the results and experience of WG4CA 2016-2019, the alliance acknowledges that the combination of the three approached is leading to enhanced protection of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations, changes in gender norms, and equal participation of women in conflict prevention and resolution, peacebuilding, assistance and reconstruction in South Sudan. In order to enable meaningful and equal participation of women in conflict prevention, resolution and peacebuilding, advocacy and lobbying are not sufficient: the environment needs to be conducive for women and girls to feel free and safe to express themselves and participate in decision making as equal to men; women and girls need to be empowered to realize their positive value and active role in lasting conflict prevention and resolution. By combatting attitudes and beliefs that perpetuate women’s exclusion, gender norms are transformed that are obstacles for non-violent conflict resolution and an enabling environment in which women can take a decision making role towards matters of peace and security. Finally, by transforming harmful attitudes and beliefs women and girls will be less likely to become victims of conflict-related violence. Our gender transformative approach mixing capacity building of community members, such as traditional court members, gender advocates, psychosocial focal points, police as actors of change, while raising awareness and engaging local authorities and various community members, including survivors of SGBV into changes in attitudes and behaviour, was found relevant, especially the engagement of men and boys, which will be continued in this 2020 programme. These best practices will help the WG4CA to continue working towards a community-driven, inter-generational and lasting change, engaging girls, women, boys, and men. This also forms the best basis for our influencing and advocacy work towards lasting implementation of laws and policies favorable to the participation and protection of women. The capacity building events, public gathering, and school clubs will leave lasting effects to individuals, households and communities as such events are educative and transformational. Permanent effects around respect for the rights and dignity of women and girls are expected to be seen at the targeted locations and among the beneficiaries. The 2018 evaluation of PAX has already shown that programming in Unity/lakes catalyzed attitude and behavioural changes which are likely longer-term due to intrinsic changes in understanding and motivating. Furthermore, the WG4C Alliance has a long track record of gender transformation and women empowerment projects in the areas of implementation and has made the 1325 agenda one of its priorities for the years to come as amplified in its organizational strategy. Through this project, the WG4C partners will solidify local expertise, which in turn will make the implementing partners in South Sudan a key actor in the targeted regions with a strong network and expertise to promote gender equality.

In total 8,700 people will be reached in the hardest to reach areas of Pibor town, Lekuangole and Verthet in Pibor County. 1. Improve post-floods environment through cash for work - debris cleaning, making roads and rivers accessible, small repairs of service centres 2. Provide unconditional cash to the most vulnerable who cannot participate in emergency livelihood activities based on a protection criteria e.g. persons with disabilities, survivors of gender-based violence, female or child headed households, elderly 3. Provide emergency livelihoods kits (fishing kits, farming kits) and training to enhance recovery and resilience 4. Enact a clear referral pathway among all partners for the safe and confidential referral of child protection and gender-based violence cases Plan has developed an emergency response plan for Pibor where it lays out its ambition to implement a multi-sector response on FSL, WASH, Education and Protection. The FSL part of this response is submitted for DRA funding. Plan also has been working in Pibor for many years and is well established among the community and partner organisations. Severe flooding has cut off 319.080 people from critical care and services in Pibor, up to 90% of basic services have been suspended. Water sources are contaminated posing health & nutrition risks. Plan's nutrition screening (Oct 24) indicated 9% GAM and 3% SAM rate for children in Pibor. The situation may escalate further as people fail to access treatment centres, food, shelter and safe WASH. All children are out of school due to flooded classrooms, displaced teachers and schools being used as shelters. Children lack safe spaces for protection. Adolescent girls are even more vulnerable during emergencies. According to OCHA's Flood Strategy (Nov 14) immediate priorities include multi-sector flood rapid response kits, food and health support followed by restoring people’s food security and livelihoods and critical water, health, nutrition and education infrastructure. OBJECTIVE: Support flood affected displaced and host communities in Pibor County through gender and age sensitive life-saving food livelihood interventions that will enhance their recovery and resilience. In total 8,700 people will be reached. APPROACH: a first-line response consisting out of emergency food and emergency livelihood provision. Plan has secured funding from WFP to distribute food aid which complements partners food aid in this project consortium. Plan is also supporting with resiliency building through livelihoods (farming and fishing) and cash-based programming for work related to debris cleaning and small repairs of service points. COMPLEMENTARITY: Consortium partners have coordinated the activities of the response in Pibor though harmonization of the approach (see above), coordination of beneficiary targeting, sharing of logistics (transport and offices), referral to each other’s activities – specifically for child protection and GBV cases, and ensuring the most vulnerable are reached with holistic programming (FSL & WASH). In total 8,700 direct beneficiaries will be reached. Including: - 1800 people through cash for work programming - 9000 people with livelihoods training and fishing or farming kits - 500 households for shelter and NFI distribution Furthermore, linking to protection services with referral pathways to other Plan programming and distribution of Wash, MHM and NFIs. Many of the program activities can be scaled-up from existing ongoing activities immediately. • Month 1: Inception: Start-up/scale-up of the intervention including recruitment and training of project teams. Procurement of FSL inputs. Community sensitization and beneficiary registration. Start service delivery: provision of emergency livelihood support.. Community feedback mechanisms in place. • Months 2-5: Continue provision of emergency livelihood support. Conduct CfW activities. Continuous gather community feedback. • Month 6: PDM. Continuation of ongoing activities and handover to community support groups and local government authorities. Plan has been operating in SS since 2006 (in Pibor since 2011) with a humanitarian portfolio of 24 million. Plan is currently running FSL, Nutrition, Protection and Education programs (partly under SSJR5) in Pibor. Plan has secured funding for WFP to provide 15,800 flood affected hh in Pibor with emergency food aid. Plan plays a leading role in Child Protection Sub Cluster and Education Cluster in Pibor and has been the OCHA focal point for Pibor for the past 3 years. This project is not only linking together multiple responses, but also providing emergency relief for those most affected by the flooding, in addition to the ongoing crisis int he area. Plan knows the communities and actors working in this area which will ensure continuity of essential services after the duration of the project. As much as possible cash will be giver, for work or to those most vulnerable to support a more sustainable response. This project is hiring local staff from the communities to support distribution and execution of the project. Risk assessment of the interventions will be conducted and mitigation measures applied; physical safety of beneficiaries coming to collect the agricultural supplies; timing of the distribution; ensure the timing of CfW interventions does not coincide with peak livelihoods season to avoid encouraging child labour.

There has been a sharp increase in violence with reported civilian deaths four times higher than the total recorded in 2018. The escalating levels of insecurity have led to schools being closed and farmers abandoning their fields in search of safety. In response to the humanitarian situation, Plan International, in collaboration with the Dutch Relief Alliance funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, leads the Burkina Faso JR. As of Dec 1 2018, Plan International Netherlands provides multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs in protection and education of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in the region of Centre-Nord for a total duration of 6 months. Burkina Faso is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that left 1.5m people requiring urgent assistance (HRP, July 2019). Circa 490,000 people have been uprooted from their homes as of 8 October, an increase of 68% since 23 September (OCHA, Oct 2019). Plan's chosen area of intervention - the Centre-Nord - is the region grappling with the largest influx of IDP; as of 8 October, the Bam province hosts 46,872 IDP, the province of Namentenga, 27,195 IDP and the province of Sanmatenga – the most affected, 169,409 IDPs, which represents respectively a 758%, 176% and 88% increase in two weeks (idem). The precarious security situation in Centre-North is putting additional pressure on the already depleted resources of host communities. It has crippled Education services with 145 primary schools closed, depriving 26,266 children from their right to education (Ministry of Education, Oct 2019). It has exacerbated protection needs and constraints, with 151 cases of human rights violation registered in the Centre-North (67%) and Sahel (33%), including 45 assassinations, 10 cases of physical abuse, 4 of child abuse and 8 of sexual abuse and rape (UNCHR, Sept 2019). The Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility has highlighted abuse, exploitation, child recruitment by armed groups and physically endangerment as additional risks posed to children due to the crisis. As of June 2019, half of the IDP children are estimated to be in need of Psychosocial Support. As of 6 September, out of the 244 cases of UASC identified, 85 (43 girls) had not been reunited with their families (CPiE Sectoral Group, Sept 2019). Other CP issues identified with the potential of being aggravated by the crisis include concerns of child labour, child trafficking, out of school children and early and forced marriage as confirmed in Plan's NA. Thus, Plan will address the urgent needs limiting children and adolescents to enjoy their right to Education and Protection in this complex emergency. Plan & APJEE's proposed response has the following overall objective: Girls and boys (0-12 years), adolescents (13-17 years) and young women and men (18-24 years) affected by the humanitarian crisis in the Centre-North region of Burkina Faso have access to quality Child and GBV protection services and Education opportunities to prevent and respond to violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation. Through this action, Plan & APJEE will respond to priority unmet CP and Education needs of internally displaced children, youth and their families in 4 locations with 4 Mobile Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and 2 Youth Friendly Spaces (YFS) set up as per SPHERE and Cluster standards. The overall approach of the integrated EiE and CPiE response is two-folded and directly responding the the identified Education & Protection needs in the HNO. Plan & APJEE will work to: 1)re-establish community level protective environment comprising psychosocial support, referral to services and capacity strengthening of community members residing in host communities. Empowering CAFAAGs and child GBV survivors (or at risk of) through socio-economic reintegration in an effort to prevent further exploitation and minimize child labor. 2)re-establish access to education for the internally displaced children, in particular for those who are most vulnerable and have not been able to enrol in the formal education system. This project will complement Save the Children’s CP activities which will be delivered in 2 communes of Centre-North region whilst Plan will deliver in four different communes, ensuring an increased number of conflict-affected children’s needs are met in this JR. Also, Plan seeks improved coordination and synergy with existing active humanitarian actors in the same communes of Centre-Nord (DRC, UNHCR, UNFPA, UNICEF) and state social providers by leading a workshop under this project to ensure referrals to health, nutrition and social services in a timely and adequate manner. Plan has been active in Burkina Faso since 1976 and well established in the proposed area, including through a Programme Unit in Kaya (Centre-North region). Plan has been responding to the current crisis since 2019 with a portfolio of 3.2M EUR using strong ties in the communities, collaborating with CBOs, government bodies (Ministère de L'Education, Ministère de la Femme, Solidarité nationale, Famille et de l'action humanitarie and Direction Générale de l’Encadrement de la Protection de l’Enfant et de l’Adolescent) and humanitarian actors, and has throughout built expertise in the EiE, CPiE, FSL & NFI sectors to respond to the crisis in Centre-Nord & Sahel. Plan Burkina Faso is co-lead of the EiE Working Group with UNICEF. Plan provides technical assistance and information management capacity through regular meetings to ensure coordinated, timely and accountable Education response. At national level, Plan is actively involved in other inter-agency coordination efforts to prioritise cross-sector collaboration. Plan is co-lead of the CP Sub-working group with the DGPEA (Direction Générale de l’Encadrement de la Protection de l’Enfant et de l’Adolescent) and UNICEF, lead in the GBV sub-working group with UNFPA and lead in the Cash working group with FAO. Close collaboration will be maintained with UNOCHA and UNDSS for security aspects of the project. Lastly, to ensure access to the most affected areas and enhance a localised response, Plan will work with local partner APJEE. The response targets the most vulnerable conflict-affected children, especially unaccompanied and separated children, children associated with armed forces, child GBV survivors and at risk children and adolescents in hard to reach areas such as Bourom and Yalgo. The project will prevent GBV and support GBV survivors, particularly adolescents at risk of GBV. This action owns a strategic advantage due to Plan and APJEE's long lasting presence in Centre-Nord allowing us to access communes and identify beneficiaries based on agreed Cluster selection criteria and in collaboration with local authorities. Plan will be guided by its Child Trafficking Needs Assessment conducted in Kaya. We will target 5,300 beneficiaries, including 2,000 children (0-12 years, 60% girls); 400 adolescents (13-17 years, 50% girls); 200 youth (18-24 years, 60% women) with GBV prevention & response which will be accessible to both IDP (60%) and vulnerable host community (40%) ensuring a conflict-sensitive approach. Plan will be operating out of its Kaya sub-office with local partner-led implementation ensuring accessibility & sustainability of the JR. Plan has been working with AJPEE since the start of the crisis and will continue to build their emergency response capacity. AJPEE has strong expertise and experience in Education and Protection and will be responsible for running the CFS/TLS & YFS, in collaboration with the state social action services. Plan has strong ties with local authorities since before the emergency, and more recently through humanitarian EiE and CPiE projects as well as wide scale NFI distributions. The delivery model is based on service provision and in-kind support, drawing from Plan’s successful experience (PDMs results) since beginning our Centre-Nord response in January 2019. The mobile approach adopted ensures flexibility to respond to the needs of the mobile IDP.

NL-KVK-41198890-SSD100200 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: South Sudan remains in the grip of a serious humanitarian crisis throughout 2019, with the effects of years of conflict, displacement and lack of basic services continued to be felt throughout the country. Following a reassessment of humanitarian need at the end of the dry season in 2019, the overall number of people in need increased to 7.2 million, leaving 63% of the total population of South Sudan in need. Plan continues in 2020 to provide 12.831 vulnerable people in Malakal with integrated Food Security and emergency livelihood support as well as protection for children and survivors of gender based violence. According to an Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Report (September, 2019) an estimated 6.35 million people (54% of the population) in South Sudan are Crisis affected (IPC Phase 3) or suffer worse acute food insecurity; an estimated 1.7 million people are faced with acute food insecurity or Emergency (IPC Phase 4); and 10,000 people are in Catastrophe (IPC phase 5). Compared to the same period in 2018, there is a slight reduction in the proportion of people facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity by an estimated 5%. However, high levels of acute food insecurity still persist in the country. In both periods, these estimates are in the presence of humanitarian food assistance (IPC Report, 2019). Adolescence is already a turbulent time of change in a young person’s life that leads to instability, emergencies often vastly change or accelerate this transition to adulthood. Many adolescent girls and boys are pulled out of school to take on caretaker or breadwinner roles at home, or become separated from their families. In Malakal, as in other conflict-affect areas of South Sudan, adolescent girls are disproportionally affected by the crisis, as they face gender discrimination in accessing food, education and health care, and experience several levels of gender-based violence. Failing to provide tailored and comprehensive responses to the unique needs and risks of adolescents, has devastating and long-term consequences. In 2020 we will remain committed to driving changes in the Malakal to protect vulnerable adolescents in crisis settings. Adolescents between 10 and 19 years old are chronically overlooked in responses to humanitarian crises. Adolescent girls are especially left behind; they face extreme barriers to accessing essential services such as food, education and healthcare as girls are often not in decision-making position (including access to finances) within their household or due to the lack of available and accessible services. Girls and young women continue to drop out of school to be married too early which increases their lifelong health and wellbeing outcomes and increases their risks of gender-based violence including sexual violence. Missing out on an education increases a girls’ chance to have a low skilled and low paid job such as a street vendor which in turn, increases her chances to GBV. The SSJR6 is a continuation of the South Sudan program funded by the Dutch Relief Alliance. Plan targets 12.831 individuals with Protection, multi-purpose cash and/or protection services in Malakal town and PoC. Specific target groups of this intervention include: vulnerable HHs headed by disabled men and women, vulnerable HHs headed by elderly people, vulnerable HHs headed by pregnant and lactating women, Vulnerable female headed HH, vulnerable HHs headed by chronically ill persons, vulnerable HHs in need of economical support hosting orphaned children, vulnerable HH with access to land for cultivation and one household member at least able to farm, looted HH that have still remained vulnerable, Child headed HHs, vulnerable Adolescent girls, including young caregivers, children and parents experiencing psychological distress and vulnerable HHs caring for children with labor and skill capacity.

NL-KVK-41198890-NLD0797 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) are harmful practices perpetuated by gender discrimination and violations of human rights. These practices disproportionately affect girls and women, curtailing their education, violating their sexual and reproductive health and rights, limiting their autonomy and opportunities for economic, political and social participation, as well as placing them at increased risk of further violence. Gains previously made during times of relative stability regress as families see CEFM as a way to cope with greater economic hardship and as a means to protect girls from increasing instability and violence. Child marriage is a cross-cutting issue requiring coordination from the earliest stage of a crisis. As of October 2019 Plan International and the Women’s Refugee Commission conduct a girl-led community-grounded research in three emergency responses in Ethiopia, the Philippines and Zimbabwe; to build an evidence based program model for intervention.

The overall objective is to contribute to the immediate food needs and respond to the child protection issues exacerbated through negative coping mechanisms in the most affected communities. The three envisioned outcomes are: 1. Most vulnerable households are supported with food items and nutrition support, 2. Community-based protection framework for children is strengthened, and 3. Protective environment around children is strengthened through capacity building and knowledge-sharing of care-givers and adolescent girls. The response will be phased as a strategic approach to ensure cost efficiency and the deeper impact to children, adolescent girls and the communities.

With a low harvest in 2019 and rising food prices, the availability of food is decreasing, which results in vulnerable households engaging in negative coping mechanisms such as early childhood marriage, withdrawal of children from school and transactional sex. To support vulnerable children and households, the action is focusing on the following key sectors: 1. Sustain education in emergency by ensuring that 85.000 children, especially girls, remain in school, 2. Ensure that child protection mechanisms are in place in assisted communities, focusing on strengthening local structures and identifying protection risks, 3. Strengthening women and girls livelihood capabilities through training and cash-transfer, and 4. Ensure food and nutrition security by meeting the nutrition needs of 25.000 households.

There has been a sharp increase in violence with reported civilian deaths four times higher than the total recorded in 2018. The escalating levels of insecurity have led to schools being closed and farmers abandoning their fields in search of safety. In response to the humanitarian situation, Plan International, in collaboration with the Dutch Relief Alliance funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, leads the Burkina Faso JR. As of Dec 1 2018, Plan International Netherlands provides multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs in protection and education of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in the region of Centre-Nord for a total duration of 6 months. Burkina Faso is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that left 1.5m people requiring urgent assistance (HRP, July 2019). Circa 490,000 people have been uprooted from their homes as of 8 October, an increase of 68% since 23 September (OCHA, Oct 2019). Plan's chosen area of intervention - the Centre-Nord - is the region grappling with the largest influx of IDP; as of 8 October, the Bam province hosts 46,872 IDP, the province of Namentenga, 27,195 IDP and the province of Sanmatenga – the most affected, 169,409 IDPs, which represents respectively a 758%, 176% and 88% increase in two weeks (idem). The precarious security situation in Centre-North is putting additional pressure on the already depleted resources of host communities. It has crippled Education services with 145 primary schools closed, depriving 26,266 children from their right to education (Ministry of Education, Oct 2019). It has exacerbated protection needs and constraints, with 151 cases of human rights violation registered in the Centre-North (67%) and Sahel (33%), including 45 assassinations, 10 cases of physical abuse, 4 of child abuse and 8 of sexual abuse and rape (UNCHR, Sept 2019). The Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility has highlighted abuse, exploitation, child recruitment by armed groups and physically endangerment as additional risks posed to children due to the crisis. As of June 2019, half of the IDP children are estimated to be in need of Psychosocial Support. As of 6 September, out of the 244 cases of UASC identified, 85 (43 girls) had not been reunited with their families (CPiE Sectoral Group, Sept 2019). Other CP issues identified with the potential of being aggravated by the crisis include concerns of child labour, child trafficking, out of school children and early and forced marriage as confirmed in Plan's NA. Thus, Plan will address the urgent needs limiting children and adolescents to enjoy their right to Education and Protection in this complex emergency. The DRA partners have designed their response based on needs and gaps in line with cluster recommendations, their technical expertise and complementarity with other interventions to maximize impact. Protection The Burkina Faso JR aims to provide access to quality Child and GBV protection services for the prevention and response to violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation for Girls and boys (0-12 years), adolescents (13-17 years) and young women and men (18-24 years) affected by the humanitarian crisis in Kaya (Sanmatenga Province), Bouroum (Namentenga Province) and Yalgo, Tikare & Sabce (in Bam province), the Centre-North region as well as in Titao Health District of Loroum province, Nord region. More specifically, the BFJR will respond to priority unmet CP needs of internally displaced children, youth and their families with Mobile Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and Youth Friendly Spaces (YFS) set up as per SPHERE and Cluster standards. Education The BFJR will support education activities in Kaya, Yalgo, Pissila and Kongoussi in the Provinces of Sanmatenga, Namentenga and Bam, Centre-North region. Teachers and community volunteers will be recruited and trained to facilitate numeracy and literacy classes for children aged 6-12. These children will be supported with age appropriate numeracy and literacy sessions in 6 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) in order for girls and boys to access safe, quality non-formal learning opportunities. Where possible, children will be referred to Plan International's formal EiE projects to ensure reintegration of children in schools. Moreover, primary school age children affected by conflict will be supported with school supplies to support their access and retention in school. The Education component of this response is closely tight into the protection activities with the unified goal of ensuring children and adolescents can survive, thrive, learn and be protected during this emergency. Health The BFJR will provide an integrated Health and Protection response in Titao Health District where social and health services are mainly closed due to the high influx of arriving IDP’s and the low presence of other health actors (especially on primary and maternal health care, SGBV treatment and case management). The BFJR will provide free access to primary and maternal health care (including treatment for SGBV victims) in 4 mobile clinics and 4 reopened health care facilities (HCF). WASH The BFJR will respond to critical WASH needs by providing water and hygiene promotion to lower the risks of waterborne illness and provide life-saving access to water. Activities will be implemented in the towns of Titao and Ouindigui, loroum province, Nord region as well as Djibo, Soum Province, and Dori, Séno Province in Sahel region. In Djibo and Dori (Sahel region) a total of 7 boreholes and 2 solar water pumps for 2 boreholes will be installed providing safe dirnking water to 4200 people and in total 14700 people will receive hygiene kits as part of community hygiene promotion activities. In Nord region the BFJR will rehabilitate 5 handpumps and 4 solar waterstations (each installed with 8 taps) to provide safe drinking water to 10500 people. Moreover, hygiene kits will be provided as well as WASH kits (household essential articles) to secure water collection and storage to 500 most vulnerable households. Protection will be integrated through the provision of Menstrual Hygiene Management kits to 400 vulnerable women/girls as part of community hygiene promotion activities. FSL The BFJR will support affected displaced and host communities through gender and age sensitive life-saving food livelihood interventions in Djibo, Soum Province, and Dori, Séno Province in Sahel region through the distribution of food vouchers for 3 meals per day and 5 food groups, during 3 months. MPC The BFJR will support 2580 people in 430 vulnerable households (HHs) in Kongoussi, Tikaré and Sabcé, Bam province (Centre Nord) to meet their food needs through unconditional cash transfers This response will ensure all vulnerable groups are reached including children and youth, unaccompanied and separated minors, CAFAAGS, GBV survivors, women and girls at risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking, vulnerable indigenous, pregnant and lactating women, elderly and persons with disabilities. IDPs are the most vulnerable population, in particular young girls and women who in some cases engage in prostitution as the only means to respond to their basic needs. SRH and GBV prevention and response activities will be accessible to both displaced persons and vulnerable host community members in rural and urban areas. Due to the higher exposure to GBV risks and needs of SRH women and girls will be specifically targeted. SRH activity will focus on pregnant and lactating women. Most vulnerable people will be identified in collaboration with community members and local authorities.

Significant progress in minimising violence has been recorded for women and girls increasing their resilience and creating a more conducive environment for gender equality, female leadership and the promotion of female participation in conflict resolution and peace building processes. Despite the gains, the following risks remain: •Harmful social norms and cultural practices including child marriage and other forms of gender based violence •Drug abuse and alcoholism exacerbating child neglect and abuse •Limited knowledge on rights, laws and policies on the protection of women and girls •Limited economic and education opportunities, especially for women and girls In 2020 Plan continues to address these risk and work on creating an environment where women and girls feel safe and enabled to act on opportunities and take their rights to play a significant role towards sustainable peace. As stated in the Netherlands National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace and Security 2016-2019, we believe women and girls can be/are crucial actors to foster sustainable peace in South Sudan. As concluded in our gender sensitive context, actor and conflict analysis women and girls in South Sudan are however hampered to fully contribute to sustainable peace processes due to: • High levels of insecurity, where women and girls are often victims of sexual and gender based violence; • A non-conducive environment, where women and girls are often structurally discriminated against and deprived of their rights; • Internalized harmful gender norms, impeding women and girls to have a voice in decision making fora. This leads to a vicious circle as SGBV and exclusion from decision making are highly interlinked: when women feel insecure, they are less likely to participate in peacebuilding processes, which will in turn lead to unequal rights and security needs being not adequately addressed. In this prospect, a multi-sectoral and multi-level approach is required, which will lead to more resilient and better protected women and girls (Result area 1 of our Theory of Change), the existence of an enabling environment for the promotion of gender equality (Result area 2) and meaningful engagement of women and girls in peace and security-related processes (Result area 3). Pathway 1 : Promotion of resilience and protection of women and girls . While efforts for prevention and reduction of sexual and gender based violence are necessary, none the-less mechanisms and services to support survivors are crucial for strengthening women’s and girls’ resilience and enabling their participation in decision making. Pathway 2 : Promotion of gender equality. To create an enabling environment for structural change in social norms, various stakeholders needs to be involved: woman and girl leaders to promote gender equality, but also traditional community leaders, local authorities, religious leaders, teachers and other influential actors considered “gate keepers”: persons who influence the information available for others and therefore sets the dominant norms and standards to perceive the world. Families and community members needs also to be part of the process to transform thinking on gender and mainstream gender equality. Pathway 3 : Promotion of meaningful engagement of women and girls in local decision making related to conflict prevention and resolution and peacebuilding. For meaningful participation of women in peace and security, initiatives at local but also at national level for implementation of e.g. the South Sudan NAP, CEDAW and CRC are needed. The adoption and implementation of laws embed results achieved at community level but stimulate also further change in social norms. Important actors here are the civil society, whose capacity needs to be strengthened for sustainable change in policies, structures and processes. This is a new project, building on activities related to psychosocial support, peacebuilding and prevention of GBV activities implemented by other actors. Beneficiaries are community members in Nimule payam and Melijo IDP site in Melijo payam. More specifically, girls and women as well as the community as a whole through a more enabling environment for girls and women that creates a stronger society. Training and mentoring of psycho-social Focal points, Capacity Building of local Justice courts, Awareness raising on psycho-social distress and women and girls rights. Training of female and male gender advocate on gender and gender transformative processes, mobilisation of youth to promote gender equality, community dialogues, capacity building of peace committees, lobby and advocacy, monitoring, evaluation and documentation. It will be important to maintain the same key actors during the length of the project and building their capacity to lead and thrive past the end of the project period. Ownership by the local community will be important in order to sustain the changes made to behaviour, norms and attitudes. Furthermore, Plan and partners are currently engaged in discussion to submit a new funding proposal for 20201-20205 which will build on success in this project period and also address the challenges to build a more sustainable programme owned and led by the girls and women of the community.

Plan International Nederland, World Vision Nederland and ICCO/Kia joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North Darfur and South Kordofan, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2020 (Jan-Dec). A total of 21670 direct beneficiaries across the states of North Darfur and South Kordofan benefit from activities providing multi-sectoral assistance in protection, Food Security & livelihoods and WASH (Water, sanitation and Hygiene) sectors. The project targets the most vulnerable and conflict affected people including (refugees, host, IDP) women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities. The humanitarian situation in Sudan remains serious and complex, with acute humanitarian needs across the Darfur region, North Kassala, Blue Nile and South Kordofan states. The protests that started in December 2018 culminated into removal of the regime in April 2019 and subsequent formation of transitional government in August 2019. This period witnessed heightened security measures and restrictions by the military government, deterioration to the overall macroeconomic situation, disruptions to government services, access to markets and goods, worsened access to cash and fuel as well as violence by security forces leading to loss of life as well as injuries and sexual violence against protesters especially girls and women. All these have contributed to high price of essential food and non-food items and have weakened majority of poor households purchasing capacity to levels beyond their survival threshold Considering the existing needs and gaps, as well as organizations’ expertise and capacities, the program will be implemented in the FSL, WASH and Protection sectors. Plan International Nederland, Stichting World Vision Nederland and ICCO / Kerk in Actie joined forces under the Sudan Joint Response to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North- Darfur and South Kordofan, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response by Dutch NGOs, local partners and actors. Refugees, host, IDP and returnee populations affected by the protracted crisis in North-Darfur and South Kordofan, Sudan, with focus on the most vulnerable and conflict affected within the targeted areas (including women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities).

The joint budget is allocated by the Burkina Faso Joint Response partners and set aside to facilitate regional meetings (including learning), capacity building of partners, travel and security costs as well as the salary of the Burkina Faso Joint Response Field Coordinator supporting the Joint Response as a whole. The budget is managed by Plan International, in its role as BF JR lead, but budget utilisation is subject to agreements within the consortium. So-called action plans are defined by the BF JR members during the BFJR kick-off workshop indicating, on headlines, utilisation of the joint budget. The joint budget supports the BF JR programme and project activities throughout the project duration of 6 months started on Dec 1st 2019. Burkina Faso is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that left 1.5m people requiring urgent assistance (HRP, July 2019). Circa 490,000 people have been uprooted from their homes as of 8 October, an increase of 68% since 23 September (OCHA, Oct 2019). Plan's chosen area of intervention - the Centre-Nord - is the region grappling with the largest influx of IDP; as of 8 October, the Bam province hosts 46,872 IDP, the province of Namentenga, 27,195 IDP and the province of Sanmatenga – the most affected, 169,409 IDPs, which represents respectively a 758%, 176% and 88% increase in two weeks (idem). The precarious security situation in Centre-North is putting additional pressure on the already depleted resources of host communities. It has crippled Education services with 145 primary schools closed, depriving 26,266 children from their right to education (Ministry of Education, Oct 2019). It has exacerbated protection needs and constraints, with 151 cases of human rights violation registered in the Centre-North (67%) and Sahel (33%), including 45 assassinations, 10 cases of physical abuse, 4 of child abuse and 8 of sexual abuse and rape (UNCHR, Sept 2019). The Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility has highlighted abuse, exploitation, child recruitment by armed groups and physically endangerment as additional risks posed to children due to the crisis. As of June 2019, half of the IDP children are estimated to be in need of Psychosocial Support. As of 6 September, out of the 244 cases of UASC identified, 85 (43 girls) had not been reunited with their families (CPiE Sectoral Group, Sept 2019). Other CP issues identified with the potential of being aggravated by the crisis include concerns of child labour, child trafficking, out of school children and early and forced marriage as confirmed in Plan's NA. Thus, Plan will address the urgent needs limiting children and adolescents to enjoy their right to Education and Protection in this complex emergency. The DRA partners have designed their response based on needs and gaps in line with cluster recommendations, their technical expertise and complementarity with other interventions to maximize impact. Protection The Burkina Faso JR aims to provide access to quality Child and GBV protection services for the prevention and response to violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation for Girls and boys (0-12 years), adolescents (13-17 years) and young women and men (18-24 years) affected by the humanitarian crisis in Kaya (Sanmatenga Province), Bouroum (Namentenga Province) and Yalgo, Tikare & Sabce (in Bam province), the Centre-North region as well as in Titao Health District of Loroum province, Nord region. More specifically, the BFJR will respond to priority unmet CP needs of internally displaced children, youth and their families with Mobile Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and Youth Friendly Spaces (YFS) set up as per SPHERE and Cluster standards. Education The BFJR will support education activities in Kaya, Yalgo, Pissila and Kongoussi in the Provinces of Sanmatenga, Namentenga and Bam, Centre-North region. Teachers and community volunteers will be recruited and trained to facilitate numeracy and literacy classes for children aged 6-12. These children will be supported with age appropriate numeracy and literacy sessions in 6 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) in order for girls and boys to access safe, quality non-formal learning opportunities. Where possible, children will be referred to Plan International's formal EiE projects to ensure reintegration of children in schools. Moreover, primary school age children affected by conflict will be supported with school supplies to support their access and retention in school. The Education component of this response is closely tight into the protection activities with the unified goal of ensuring children and adolescents can survive, thrive, learn and be protected during this emergency. Health The BFJR will provide an integrated Health and Protection response in Titao Health District where social and health services are mainly closed due to the high influx of arriving IDP’s and the low presence of other health actors (especially on primary and maternal health care, SGBV treatment and case management). The BFJR will provide free access to primary and maternal health care (including treatment for SGBV victims) in 4 mobile clinics and 4 reopened health care facilities (HCF). WASH The BFJR will respond to critical WASH needs by providing water and hygiene promotion to lower the risks of waterborne illness and provide life-saving access to water. Activities will be implemented in the towns of Titao and Ouindigui, loroum province, Nord region as well as Djibo, Soum Province, and Dori, Séno Province in Sahel region. In Djibo and Dori (Sahel region) a total of 7 boreholes and 2 solar water pumps for 2 boreholes will be installed providing safe dirnking water to 4200 people and in total 14700 people will receive hygiene kits as part of community hygiene promotion activities. In Nord region the BFJR will rehabilitate 5 handpumps and 4 solar waterstations (each installed with 8 taps) to provide safe drinking water to 10500 people. Moreover, hygiene kits will be provided as well as WASH kits (household essential articles) to secure water collection and storage to 500 most vulnerable households. Protection will be integrated through the provision of Menstrual Hygiene Management kits to 400 vulnerable women/girls as part of community hygiene promotion activities. FSL The BFJR will support affected displaced and host communities through gender and age sensitive life-saving food livelihood interventions in Djibo, Soum Province, and Dori, Séno Province in Sahel region through the distribution of food vouchers for 3 meals per day and 5 food groups, during 3 months. MPC The BFJR will support 2580 people in 430 vulnerable households (HHs) in Kongoussi, Tikaré and Sabcé, Bam province (Centre Nord) to meet their food needs through unconditional cash transfers. This response will ensure all vulnerable groups are reached including children and youth, unaccompanied and separated minors, CAFAAGS, GBV survivors, women and girls at risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking, vulnerable indigenous, pregnant and lactating women, elderly and persons with disabilities.

This project aims at 1. protecting most vulnerable children and adolescents through community based child protection and comprehensive case management 2. enhancing most vulnerable households' access to cash through a cash for asset program. 3 supporting most vulnerable adolescents with vocational training and access to livelihood. The project is implemented by Plan and local partner CPDE and targets 11025 individuals, esp. most vulnerable children and food insecure families. It is implemented in 2020 (12 months) in a consortium, led by Cordaid. The Central African population has suffered from a complex humanitarian crisis since the advent of the armed conflict in 2013. Displacement and violence occurring in an already fragile national context have had serious humanitarian consequences for the protection of civilians, their living conditions as well as their physical and mental survival. Civilians, particularly women and children, continue to suffer from the consequences of the conflict and are increasingly exposed to protection risks and acute humanitarian needs. More than 50% of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance, including 1.7 million people in critical situations, such as IDPs and returnees. Children are the direct victims of the conflict because of the risks of family separation, recruitment by armed groups and forces, child trafficking and forced labour, dropping out of school but also sexual violence and forced marriage for girls. The conflict has also caused food insecurity in a country where 75% of its population depend of farming : markets, transportation of goods, access to farming land, agricultural inputs and assets are all impacted. Food insecurity affects 1,6 million persons ( IPC 2019), which in turn leads households to adopt negative copying strategies such as reducing their food intake or engaging in illegal or risky activities such as prostitution or association with armed groups. It also contributes to households prioritising their daily food needs rather than health or education costs which are just as essential. Children are particularly vulnerable in areas where long-term problems such as weak state child protection systems, low birth registration rates and discriminatory cultural burdens towards girls exacerbates the protection concerns. While Ouham is still an area with high humanitarian needs, other areas with higher needs have become accessible, such as Kaga-Bandoro in Nana-Grebizi.

The Ministry of Education recognizes stateless children and youth as G-coded students under the Education for All policy. In Chiang Mai, there are 17,423 G-coded students, of which 7,319 reside in the four project districts. Although they are entitled to access education, they are restricted from traveling out of their province, are not covered under the National Health Insurance policy and they are not permitted to work. These factors foster poverty and increase their vulnerability to exploitation. The project works with eight youth led community-based organisations to improve child protection, rights, citizenship and youth economic empowerment. The project will strengthen a network of provincial-level stakeholders to facilitate the case approval process. The project is implemented from 2020 to 2024. Although the government has its positive attempts, challenges to protect stateless children and youth remain unsolved, mainly due to the lack of inter-ministerial collaboration that would provide sufficient financial and human resources for authorities at a local level to process the applications. Moreover, language barriers and a lack of access to knowledge hinder stateless children and youth to go through the citizenship application. Thailand ratified the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC) in 1992 and thus the ‘Education for All’ policy has been implemented. Currently, stateless children and youths are recognized by the Ministry of Education (MoE) as G-coded students, which grants them the right to use the Thai educational system but without the 13-digit identification number granted by the Ministry of Interior (MoI). The 13-digit Thai ID number provides the possibility to gain an official legal status. However, there are challenges in the application process. Firstly, there is no link between the registration system and database of stateless children connecting the MoE and MoI and allowing for smooth data management. Currently, the Ministry of Education has the database of all G-coded students; however, the responsibilities fall overwhelmingly onto teachers to prepare documents for the application, without sufficient training to do so. This implies a delay in transferring the database from MoE to MoI in order to process the application. Secondly, the process is complicated as stateless children have to submit their legal status applications to the Registration Office at District or Provincial level under MoI without a practical guideline that is comprehensible for applicants and local-level implementers. Thirdly, the approval/granting of legal status is a long process that lacks sufficient transparency from those involved. It was reported that many stateless people had to wait at least ten years to be granted citizenship . Furthermore, during the process, many face obstacles due to corruption among local officials and discrimination due to their ethnic identity. As a result many children and youth still lack a legal status and stateless children and youth are only recognized in the education system as G-coded students, meaning that they can access basic education under the ‘Education for All’ policy, receiving a specific registration card from their school with a “G” denomination. Although they are entitled to access education, they are restricted from traveling out of their hometown provinces and are not covered under the National Health Insurance. They are not permitted to work, which pushes them into poverty and increases their vulnerability to exploitation. Some of the traditional beliefs among ethnic minorities in Thailand also contribute to the vulnerability to CSEC among girls and young women. Daughters are expected to take care of their parents and help them financially and with work in some communities6.. This drives some to illegally migrate to other provinces or even other countries through unregistered brokers for jobs. Many young girls are trafficked for sex and are exploited7. Boys and young men without a legal status are similarly vulnerable to exploitation due to the lack of opportunities and protection. However, there has been limited research as stateless children and youth are not recognized in the system and Thailand lacks data collection systems on CSEC that would demonstrate the disaggregated profiles of children victims . The goal of the project is that stateless children and youth are protected from CSEC and exploitation through a participatory multi stakeholder collaboration model which addresses their legal status in Thailand and challenges related to social, economic, political and gender inequality. An important step and condition is that youth-based and gender-transformative CBOs are formed and capacitated and can collaborate with actors from different sectors to advocate for the right of stateless children and youths to social and economic security, including gender equality. Meanwhile a network of provincial-level stakeholders will be strengthened and will have the capacity to facilitate the process for case approval for stateless children and youths. Through advocacy, including youth advocacy, and technical support, inter-ministerial policies and practices for stateless children and youth will improved and aligned at national, provincial and local level to enable stateless children and youths to access their rights and government services. The project will promote good governance, transparency and accountability of authorities as concerned the unregistered Stateless children and youth, through participatory processes whereas youth led CBOs will be working jointly with LAs to solve the registration issue, under the guidance of PI and EPDF. The project complements PI’s Legal Status and Citizenship Project (2017-2020) by which 15,165 stateless people (51.4% female) will be supported to register for legal status. It also builds up on the momentum developed by SIDA-funded Building Strong Civil Society Organizations and Networking for Sustainable Development project (2015-2019), which has developed a network of organizations in Thailand working towards child protection in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and in which EPDF takes leadership in the Stateless Children thematic working group. It further links to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign affairs funded Down to Zero programme, implemented by Terre des Hommes, ECPAT and Free a Girl, aiming at reducing CSEC in Asia. The organisation Ethnic Peoples’ Development Foundation (EPDF) has partnered with Plan International Thailand for 8 years on various issues including universal birth registration (UBR), legal status and citizenship, rights, IGA, child protection. They are part of a number of networks including Legal Status Network, a CSO group of 33 NGOs advocating for stateless population, and Thailand’s Child Rights Coalition, in which EPDF takes a lead role in the UBR working group. At national level, the Ministries, namely MoE, MoPH, Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and MoI through BORA, are responsible for policy development and inter-ministerial policy alignment to resolve legal status for unregistered population and child protection in general. Through a number of successive projects on Universal Birth Registration (UBR), Plan International (PI) has directly encountered cases of stateless girls forced to enter CSEC as well as labour exploitation in Chiang Mai, occasionally by their parents who, due to their lack of legal status, have been trapped in poverty and lack access to decent work. A number of studies reviewed, especially an economic research on equality point out how stateless people risk labour exploitation and urges strict law enforcement particularly on child labour and youth employment under 18 year old . Children and youth without legal status do not exist in the registration system and cannot depend on the justice system to provide them with protection against CSEC. The subject is persistent and solutions are mostly piecemeal. Although the government has its positive attempts, challenges to protect stateless children and youth remain unsolved, mainly due to the lack of inter-ministerial collaboration that would provide sufficient financial and human resources for authorities at a local level to process the applications. Moreover, language barriers and a lack of access to knowledge hinder stateless children and youth to go through the citizenship application. In five years, at least 78,897 stateless youth and children (with G-coding) throughout Thailand, including 7,319 stateless youth and children in the targeted communities will benefit from this project. All youth (18-24) and children (7-17) in 8 communities in 4 districts in Chiang Mai with high density of stateless population and vulnerability to CSEC, will be targeted, although with specific focus on stateless children and youth. Specifically the locations are: ● Chiang Dao District: Tambon Muang Na (Municipality) and Chiang Dao ● Chaiprakarn District: Sri Dong Yen ● Fang District: Tambon Monpin, Wieng ● Mae Ai District: Doi Laang In each of the 8 communities, one youth-led gender-transformative CBO will be formed with 15 interested youths and will comprise of three working groups, namely Rights and Citizenship, Gender Responsive Child Protection, and Youth Economic Empowerment. Teachers and directors of 164 schools will assist the district registrar office in screening the list of G-coded students and identifying the status they are entitled to. The project works with the following outcomes: Outcome 1: Youth-based and gender-transformative CBOs are formed and capacitated and can collaborate with actors from different sectors to advocate for the right of stateless children and youths to social and economic security, including gender equality. Outcome 2: A strengthened network of provincial-level stakeholders has the capacity to facilitate the process for case approval for stateless children and youths. Outcome 3: Inter-ministerial policies and practices for stateless children and youth are improved and aligned at national, provincial and local level to enable stateless children and youths to access their rights and government services. At the impact level, PI attaches importance to registering Stateless children and youths to have legal status in order to enable their protection as a person by Thai laws. Through our interventions, stateless children and youth will be able to bring up issues pertaining to their situation to key stakeholders at community level as well as drive for advocacy change. They will also work toward improved social and economic security by being capacitated and determining and leading their own activities for empowerment. Under Outcome 1, in each of the targeted communities, a youth-led gender-responsive CBO will be formed and trained in areas related to (1) Rights and Citizenship, which will be the core team for citizenship application: they will also learn about related policies and assist the schools for outreach clinics, (2) Child Protection, which will play a key role in establishing gender-transformative community-based child protection mechanisms and promoting gender equality, and (3) Youth Economic Empowerment, which will see the development of business plans, including a focus on sustainable tourism for those communities interested and able to pursue community based tourism. The business plans will be implemented locally promoting the economic empowerment of youth in the community. They will work together with community members, schools, and local authorities to address their socio-economic vulnerabilities and gender barriers. They will learn and gain experience in mobilizing resources for their own activities through developing proposals for a sub-granting mechanism which will increase their ownership and the project’s sustainability. Moreover, these youth leaders will conduct a gender-transformative participatory action research on the issues of stateless children and youth. This research will be further used as their advocacy tool. Under Outcome 2, PI will adapt a successful multi stakeholder collaboration model from Mae Hong Son Province and pilot an improved approach to resolve the legal status on a timely and collaborative manner, with involvement from CSOs and schools. A guideline on processing legal status will be developed and disseminated to local schools and registrar offices. Moreover, we will build the capacity of teachers from 164 schools in targeted areas in order to ensure that they will be able to support the students. Outreach clinics will be conducted in the schools with collaboration from the local registrar’s office and support from CBOs. PI, as an active partner of the Thai government authorities at different levels on UBR and statelessness (including membership of the Inter-ministerial sub-committee that has been commissioned to coordinate and monitor policy implementation regarding legal status of persons within education institutes), along with CSO stakeholders will influence for improved inter-ministerial policies and practices (including addressing the barriers to apply for citizenship, rights to healthcare and travel) for stateless children and youth under Outcome 3. Additionally, a cost-benefit analysis research on promoting rights for stateless people to advocate with the government and our local intervention on solving stateless issues will be the evidence that support for policy change. The project will promote good governance, transparency and accountability of authorities as concerned the unregistered Stateless children and youth, through participatory processes whereas youth led CBOs will be working jointly with LAs to solve the registration issue, under the guidance of PI and EPDF. Financial sustainability The 8 CBOs will be trained and mentored to access funding from local agencies, which will enable them to continue implementing their small scale initiatives post project period. They will be linked to networks of CSOs, providing them with opportunities for continued peer support, e.g. to run campaigns. The poverty reduction activities in particular will undergo the initiation phase of production and/or marketing within the project period and will start generating a positive income and savings for financial sustainability. Institutional sustainability The project puts a strong emphasis on the institutional structure of independent CBOs. The training of local stakeholders will also ensure that capacity building gains are retained within Chiang Mai province. Empowered CBO/CSOs will remain in place after the project phases out, enabling to provide continuous space for dialogue and keep the debate open between LAs and civil society. After benefiting from capacity building activities, the aim is for CSOs to come up with their own initiatives while deepening their sense of ownership. The project uses lobby meetings as well as the multiple forums to establish connections between CBOs and LAs. CBOs’ ability to access local funds will enhance the sustainability of their approach and they will have the experience in managing their own funds during the project to gain confidence and hands-on skills. Guideline on stateless issues will be developed, disseminated and used in training school staff, which will equip them with both the tool and knowledge. Policy level sustainability By the end of the project, it is expected that at least two new national policies and three ministerial orders that are beneficial to fulfilling the rights of ethnic minorities and G-coded students in particular, will be adopted. The project works towards building the recognition of CSOs’ and schools’ capacity in the official implementation of the Citizen Registration Act, and formalising collaboration between CSOs, schools and LAs. The project will secure sustainability through its participatory lobby work while ensuring that all stakeholders understand that good governance is a government approach and its implementation through working alongside civil society will be recognized as good practice. Community level sustainability The CBOs will become champions of change for gender equality and conduct activities to challenge gender norms in their communities. Moreover, a gender-transformative community-based child protection mechanism will be established in the communities. By empowering children and youth, especially girls and young women, to become economically independent, they will be equipped with high self-esteem and skills. These approaches will shape the community values and attitudes towards children and youth, gender norms, and gender roles.

In 2016, Plan and TUI Care Foundation launched the TUI Academy project, that aims to socially and economically empower 150 youth, especially girls, in Punta Cana. Besides enabling these youth to protect themselves from Commercial Sexual Exploitation, they are provided access to decent work in the TUI tourism chain. This innovative methodology, partnering with hotels in Punta Cana and the national vocational training institute INFOTEP has been transforming the youth’s lives, opening up career opportunities previously unattainable to them. This project builds on the successes of the former project and presents innovative strategies based on the lessons learned. In the Dominican Republic, tourism is important for economic growth. For many the country is a Caribbean dream. In the past few years the Dominican Government has achieved progress on education for all, and on diminishing poverty, but Dominican youth still lack economic prospects. 29.4% of youth are unemployed, and 24% of youth are not in employment or education – with the rate for young women almost doubling that of young men. Of primary school children, 37.5% drops out before graduation, most of them (especially girls) for economic reasons. Of the 49% that transitions to secondary education, only 33% graduates. As a consequence, many youth enter into informal economic activities for their livelihoods, often subjected to unsafe working condition and low pay. Young women are even more at risk of ending up in exploitative situations, due to traditional gender roles and asymmetric power relations, as well as a sense of tolerance towards gender-based violence. Teenage pregnancy (36%) and child marriage rates are alarmingly high. Impact: By 2022, 150 disadvantaged youth, aged 18-24, (70% F/ 30% M) in 4 communities in Punta Cana are socially and economically empowered, able to protect themselves from exploitation and have opportunities for decent work. Outcomes: - Outcome 1: Young people with strengthened personal and professional skills - Outcome 2: Safer and Protective Communities have developed capacities to enable and promote the exercise of youth's rights - Outcome 3: Engaging the private sector: companies provide decent work opportunities for youth, especially women The activities in this project are based on the experiences and lessons learnt in the TUI1 Academy project in the Dominican Republic to create job opportunities for vulnerable youth, especially young women that face early pregnancies, gender based violence and lack of access to decent work. The holistic analysis of TUI 1 and what challenges were encountered to be working with vulnerable youth, especially with regard to drop out of students, has been a driving force of formulating activities in this follow up project which tackle these underlying root causes. TUI 1 has shown that in order to have a successful project, activities need to be developed with different actors (with the youth themselves, educators, institutions, but also families, communities and the private sector) and in different spheres to have sustainable impact. 150 youth aged between 18-25 years-old, approximately 70% of them adolescent girls/ young women, to 30% adolescent boys/ young men, and inhabitants of the three surrounding communities of Royalton Resort of Blue Diamond (BDR) in Punta Cana. Participants are considered to be at-risk of exploitation and are able to make a full-time commitment to the program. Key criteria is that suitable participants should to show a willingness to learn and a desire for self-development. Candidates have limited or no opportunities to find decent, legitimate employment or continue in further education. Other beneficiaries of the program include the families of the participants, the communities they live in and the local private sector represented by the hotels. 1. Empowering Youth Review of the TUI Academy criteria, curricula and postgraduate survey Meetings with Community Based Organizations (CBO) and communities to identify students Community campaign for promoting the TUI Academy Selection of students in collaboration with TUI Care Foundation Media event promoting the TUI Academy project Training cycles (life skills, vocational training, etc.) Coaching and guidance during training and internship (transportation, communication, etc.) Daycare for students who are young mothers - training ECCD Facilitators Evaluation of the training process 2.

Engaging the private sector Training and coaching of BDR staff and other (potential) employers on SRHR and decent work Project visibility and outreach component This project has a particular focus on mitigating drop-out of students, as this has been a huge challenge in the previous TUI 1 program, undermining the sustainability of the program. Based on an analysis of root causes of early drop-out of students in the program (early pregnancy, lack of community support, lack of decent working conditions, care for participants' young children), TUI 2 will implement mitigation strategies and make sure the program is more sustainable, for example awareness raising on family planning and SRHR, forming alumni networks, orientation groups with families, promotion of decent work with the hotel and day care solutions.

The Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment (ZIMVAC) - to which Plan is a key contributor - indicates that 73,124 people (59.8% of Households) in Tsholotsho district will be food insecure during this period. Plan International Zimbabwe's Emergency Response emphasizes an integrated FSL (Cash & Voucher Assistance modality) & Protection approach. Plan will implement FSL activities with DRA funds complementing its existing protection programs, reaching additional 7,650 individuals not supported by other actors. Through unconditional cash and cash for work modalities, people will be enabled to meet basic food needs while mitigating protection issues as a result of drought-induced negative coping strategies. This 6 month programme started March 5th and will end Sept 4th 2020. In August 2019, the government of Zimbabwe declared the drought a national disaster with an estimated 5.3m people in need of food assistance at the peak hunger period: April-June2020 (Flash Appeal 2019-2020). The Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment (ZIMVAC) to which Plan is a key contributor indicates that 73,124 people (59.8% of HH) in Tsholotsho district will be food insecure during this period, second only to Binga in Matabeleland North Provincial ranking. Matabeleland North Province where Tsholotso District is situated has the highest proportion of HHs with low Household Dietary Diversity Scores at 43% (ZIMVAC). Rural Tsholotso depends on rain fed agriculture and purchases for their household food consumption. The situation has worsened by the economic crisis: rising inflation estimated at 400% has decreased the vitality of commodities and ability of HH to purchase inputs for crop production. At least 38.1% of surveyed HH used retained seed for crop production reducing the yield by 50%. Plan's child need assessment revealed negative coping strategies: reducing food intake, child labor, school dropout & exploitation Plan will support 4 drought-affected communities in Tsholotso district through gender & age sensitive FSL reaching 4500 individuals with essential food and nutrition requirements & supporting the livelihoods of 3150 individuals through conditional transfer for HH food production as follows: 1.Unconditional Cash transfer to 4500 persons at $9 per beneficiary for 5 months (Cash WG standard) restricted to the purchase of food commodities: cereals, pulses and vegetable oil. With Market Monitoring, PDMs, CVA assessments 2.Cash for Work and vouchers for seeds & agricultural inputs distributions to 630 HH involved in 10 nutritional gardens with training on production of nutritious horticultural crops & nutrition management. Establishment of 10 Management Committees (5 females & 2 males per site) PROTECTION MAINSTREAMING: -GBV Rapid Assessment & Action Plans development -Engage the 8 Child-led and Adult-led CP Committees capacitated under SIDA project to identify protection risks affecting girls & boys during distributions, raise awareness on CP & GBV risks with staff during distributions & rehabilitation work, develop local mitigation strategies and respond to CP cases FEASIBILITY:most recent WFP survey (Feb 18) showed that while maize grain remained scarce, most HH are purchasing maize meal whose availability remains stable across the country. Plan's PDM & Market Monitoring in Tsholotsho under the SIDA project revealed a 100% availability of maize meal in informal & formal markets (within 5km distance) with supply received from South Africa & Botswana. Village shops are fed by the maize meal supply from South Africa & Botswana, making it an enabling environment for injection of cash transfers into the economy. The dynamics of the Zimbabwe context are well understood by Plan who adapts a flexible approach to cash modalities such as commodity vouchers and in-kind, depending on findings from bi-weekly monitoring. If necessary, we will shift to food distributions Plan follows the RA exclusion & vulnerability indicators, ensuring targeting efficiency & focusing on female SGBV survivors as they are the most affected & exposed to exploitation due to their vulnerability. Plan will ensure their inclusion through their participation & CBOs support, streamlining their rights. Central & time convenient scheduling of activities will ensure selection of the most vulnerable members of the community: Child Headed HH, Female Headed HH, Pregnant & lactacting mothers, and persons with Labour constrains otherwise unable to participate in activities. GBV & Protection will be mainstreamed, building on ongoing activities under Plan's SIDA & Sponsorship programs. Monitoring tools are designed to track the inclusion & vulnerability indicators. Plan will prioritise Rural Tsholotsho communities which depend on rain fed agriculture for their HH food consumption. Recurrent droughts experienced in the past years disturbed HH food production and consumption patterns Program activities will be scaled-up from existing ongoing activities immediately.

They will be trained in youth advocacy and supported in networking with peers enabling them to demand improvements in the child protection system. They will be supported in their efforts at local and national level to demand a child, victim and gender sensitive approach in the prevention measures and response to sexual exploitation of children in Colombia, Dominican Republic, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Nepal. Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) affects an estimated 2 million children worldwide. CSEC is a grave violation of children’s rights and one of the worst forms of child labour, affecting the physical and psychological well-being of the child, often with life-long impacts. The available evidence shows that children are increasingly vulnerable, and no region, country or child in the world is immune. There is no typical victim, offender or offence, but enabling factors like rapidly expanding access to the Internet, mo¬bile technology, migration, travel and tourism are leading to more opportunities to offend – and to impact negatively on more victims. Aggravating risk factors include discrimination, poverty, disability and gender, with both girls and boys affected disproportionately by certain forms of violence and exploitation. The influence of social norms, ideas around masculinity and the normalisation of objectifying children seem to normalise CSEC in society. Cultural taboos and stigma remain barriers to report incidences of sexual exploitation of children. Governments have the primary responsibility for putting in place the appropriate legislation, and child protection system (including services), to prevent and protect children from CSEC. However, in the coun¬tries Down to Zero operates in, child protection systems in general and especially dealing with CSEC, suffer from policy-flaws, poor implementation and enforcement of laws, little investment in protective services and lengthy court proceedings. Thus children are left vulnerable to secondary victimization and further re-exploitation while going through the judicial system. Child Protection Systems in the 5 target countries are not sufficiently child-youth- and gender-sensitive. As such, prevention and response by the systems – to the extent available – does not match the needs of victims of CSEC and those at risk. This is the case at all levels (both local and national). Low political commitment and insufficient capacity to implement the child protection legislative framework compound the problem. Hence efforts need to be stepped up with local, regional and national authorities, as well as with children and youth, within child protection structures to build their capacity and promote best practices. In the Voice for Change Programme the overall goal is to: ‘Amplify the Voices of children and youth so that they are central to enhancing child- and gender-sensitive prevention and response by Child Protection Systems.’ Per stakeholder, specific long-term goals are formulated as follows: a) Child victims and children at risk are empowered and act as agents of change and are able to protect themselves from (re)victimisation of CSEC (Children) b) Local government applies policies, plans of actions, budgets and protocols to effectively combat CSEC (Government)/The judiciary system applies policies, plans of actions, budgets and protocols to effectively combat CSEC (Law enforcement agencies). The project directly contributes to Objective 4 of the Foreign Ministry’s Theory of Change on SRHR: “[…] sexual and reproductive rights must be observed and strengthened and it must be ensured that these rights are respected”. It directly responds to the prioritisation of eliminating commercial sexual exploitation of children (Amendment Voordewind/Kuik). Furthermore, the project contributes to Sustain¬able Development Goals 16.2 8.7 and 5.24. Amplifying voices is a scale-up of Down to Zero 2016-2020 (DtZ 1.0). Activities in this proposal are distinct from DtZ 1.0, yet contribute to its outcomes: (1) Child victims and children at risk of CSEC are empowered, act as agents of change and are able to protect themselves from (re)victimisation of CSEC; and (3) Govern¬ments and the judiciary system apply policies, plans of action, budgets, and protocols to effectively com¬bat CSEC. Children and youth, both victims and at risk of CSEC, are the main actors in this intervention. We define children as girls and boys up to 18 years old and youth as adolescent girls and boys aged 18 to 24 years old. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. We will also work with government officials at local and national level, representing various Ministries responsible for the effective implementation of the national child protection system. We will also work with law enforcement agency officers and civil society organisations. Civil society organisations will include those providing services to CSEC victims and those at risk, organisations supporting CSEC prevention work and those working with youth as advocates. Intervention choices and countries have been informed by: • Demands which have emerged which cannot be addressed within DtZ 1.0 but which merit immediate action (such as the need for Nepal-based engagement to curb cross-border trafficking for CSEC; and the urgency to protect gains made in Latin America despite the increasing number of Venezuelan mi¬grants. • Momentum which has been created under DtZ 1.0 which is to be harnessed for greater impact (such as the Presidential decree in Indonesia demanding reforms in to address violence against children open¬ing a window to positively shape the Child Protection System); • Likelihood of results by 30 June 2021 (including training and piloting roll-out of the Barnahus Child Advocacy Model, which will also strengthen delivery of DtZ 1.0 and 2.0); and • The ability of the Alliance and project stakeholders to deliver. • This proposal is the product of analysis by the Alliance and partners of their practical and technical capacity to achieve results by 30 June 2021. Financial needs are captured in the project budget. Duty Bearers may change. But policies and the ability of children to demand quality implementation there¬of will remain. There is even a likely multiplier effect as child agents of change inspire peers to take action. The increased networking of child agents of change will further facilitate this. Lessons learned which may contribute to more sustainable results are shared across the Alliance for rep¬lication. They are also available for the Dutch MFA and its partners. One such example is the research into more effective reintegration of child-victims of CSEC foreseen in Thailand.

The Syrian crisis has severely undermined parents’ and families’ ability to care for and protect children and financial desperation leads parents/caregivers to resort to harmful coping strategies. These coping mechanisms restrict access to education, pushing primarily girls into child marriage, child labour and begging. Additionally, girls are at an increased risk to experience violence, abuse and exploitation premised on widespread gender discrimination within social norms, attitudes and stereotypes worsened by extreme economic hardship. Through provision of youth-friendly, gender-responsive PSS and ensuring access to quality multi-sectoral specialised services. This project generates increased empowerment that supports young people to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures. Exacerbated by the mutiple refugee crises, economic crisis, and overstretched services, many adolescents and young adults in Lebanon, particularly girls and young women, are affected by Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and have limited access to quality adolescent/youth-friendly, and gender-responsive SRH and GBV services. In Lebanon, child, early and forced marriage (CEFM); sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, and other forms of sexual violence; and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and wider domestic abuse remain key and urgent GBV concerns for adolescent girls and young women from Lebanese, Syrian, and other refugee communities. There is deep concern about the steep increase of CEFM among Syrian adolescent girls. Rates of CEFM among Syrian girls are over 22% vs 6% in the local population. Incidents of GBV are widespread, under-reported and survivors continue to face significant barriers to disclosure abuse and seek support. Due to the protracted crises, major gaps exist in information and service provision related to SRHR and GBV for adolescents/young people. The double vulnerability of gender and age for girls are often invisible for service providers, falling between the cracks of programming that is not responsve to their needs. The Syrian crisis has severely undermined parents’ and families’ ability to care for and protect children and financial desperation leads parents/caregivers to resort to harmful coping strategies. These coping mechanisms include restricting children’s access to education, pushing primarily girls into child marriage, and resorting to child labour and begging. The project is a continuation of a partnership with Amel Association "My body, My rights’’ which successfully reached the most vulnerable adolescents and young adults in remote areas with information on GBV and SRH rights and services. The project contributed to increased knowledge on GBV and SRHR at individual and community level as well as enhanced service availability to adolescent girls and boys, empowering them to make healthy decisions that promote their sexual and reproductive health, rights, safety, and well-being and creating an enabling environment that ensures access to ASRH and GBV services. Despite the sensitivities of a GBV and SRHR intervention, this project was able to successfully reach the most vulnerable girls and boys and female and male youth in remote areas. The project will support awareness-raising initiatives targeting adolescents and youth, which will be designed in a participatory way. Adolescent/youth-friendly IEC materials will be developed together with adolescents and youth and disseminated, covering topics of SRHR and GBV, including CEFM, other harmful practices, and other forms of GBV; contraception; adolescent pregnancy and maternal health; STIs including HIV/AIDs, and menstrual hygiene and health management, as well as where and how to access SRHR and GBV service. In parallel to at-risk adolescents and youth participating in Life Skills, their male and female parents/caregivers will be engaged in Parenting Skills sessions. Plan and local partners will implement Plan’s multi-sectoral focused PSS Parenting Skills curriculum targeting par-ents/caregivers that helps strengthen their knowledge and skills related to SRHR and SGBV. It contains specific modules on CEFM and other forms of GBV as well as promoting gender equality. As with the “Life Skills for Protection” sessions, the Parenting Skills for Protection sessions will be separate for fathers and mothers (in order to remove barriers to participate and facilitate a safe space for women to discuss), while joint sessions and activities between mothers and fathers may also be organized as possible and relevant. Joint activities will also be organized between parents/caregivers and their children. Beneficiary selection is based on Plan’s vulnerability criteria and in consultation with the partner and includes: adolescent and youth who are at risk of or engaged in CEFM, pregnant adolescent girls and young women, adolescents and youth at risk of and/or survivors of other forms of GBV, home bound adolescent girls and young women, and margin-alized adolescents and youth with limited access to education and basic services. The project will also target adolescent boys and young men and work to promote positive masculinity. The project will be implemented in South Lebanon int he cities of Tyre, Bezourieh and Khiam and their catchment areas. The project starts on January 1st 2020 and ends on December 31st, 2020. Plan International will work in partnership with Amel Association, who will be responsible for the implementation of project activities. Plan Lebanon will be responsible for the provision of capacity strengthening activities and guidance, financial, programmatic and monitoring support, and reporting from Plan International Netherlands and Plan International Germany. This project will continue with the same staffing structure as My Body My Rights Phase I, with the addition of the inclusion of CP staff to integrate CP capacity strengthening and activities into the project. Plan Lebanon has previously conducted a baseline/endline assessment in South (Tyre, Be-zourieh and Khiam) during an ongoing project intervention in partnership with Amel Association. It focused on awareness of and access to SRH information and services, as well as social beliefs and norms regarding SRHR and GBV issues, including CEFM. The data and tools from this baseline/ endline will be used as supportive information for the upcoming project. To ensure the sustainability of the action, ongoing capacity-building of the project partner is a critical component of the proposed project. Amel has a long-term and ongoing presence in the project locations. Through partnership with Plan under this project, the capacity of community facilitators to provide quality, gender-sensitive and adolescent-friendly services will be strengthened. The project team will participate in training and regular coaching and follow-up will be provided during the course of the action, to ensure the partner can continue implementing quali-ty, adolescent/youth-friendly, gender-responsive, and inclusive services after the project ends. In addition, continued consultations with the target beneficiaries, strengthening community-based structures, and enhancing the agency for adolescent girls and boys, young women and men in their communities through the support of community-based initiatives will contribute to the local ownership of the project. The phasing out strategy will be developed with the participation of adolescents and youth, their parents/caregivers and fami-lies, communities, project partners, and other key stakeholders.

The joint budget is allocated by the Sudan Joint Response partners and set aside to facilitate regional meetings (including learning), capacity building of partners, travel and security costs as well as the salary of the Sudan Joint Response Field Coordinator and a contribution to the Finance and M&E staff of Plan Sudan supporting the Joint Response as a whole. The budget is managed by Plan International, in its role as SDNJR lead, but budget utilization is subject to agreements within the consortium. So-called action plans are defined by the SDNJR members during the SDNJR kick-off workshop indicating, on headlines, utilization of the joint budget. The joint budget supports the SDNJR programme and project activities. Since the formation of civilian government in August 2019, peacebuilding and ceasefire efforts show positive progress. There are significant improvement in terms of security, access to goods, cash and fuel. However most humanitarian needs in Sudan stem from protracted conflict-induced displacement, therefore humanitarian needs in Sudan persist. Vulnerable people have been living in protracted displacement for over a decade and others have been recently displaced due to localized clashes. Returnees need humanitarian assistance, as many returned areas lack basic services. In addition, needs are being driven by other factors including the recent political crisis, food insecurity, malnutrition (IPC3), protection risks, and inter-communal violence and conflict. Rising food prices have pushed majority of poor households purchasing power beyond the survival threshold. The Sudan 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan points to 5.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. While armed conflict between the Government of Sudan and armed groups has overall subsided in Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile, conflict continues in the Jebel Marra area region (part of Darfur) coupled with frequent inter - tribal conflict. Both HNO and HRP 2019 documents put South Kordofan and North Darfur among the states with the greatest needs of humanitarian assistance. Respective 3 million people in Darfur and 1 million people in Kordofan are in need of humanitarian assistance. The HRP 2019 identifies FSL, Health, WASH and Protection and as top priorities for humanitarian assistance in Sudan. Collaboration: The SDNJR1 collaboration consists out of Plan International (lead), World Vision, Global Aid Hand, ASSIST and SAG. ICCO will join the SDNJR2 collaboration through its alliance partner Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) and national partners ERRADA and NIDAA. Therefore the SDNJR2 collaboration will consist out of Plan International (lead), World Vision, ICCO, Global Aid Hand, SAG, ASSIST, NCA, ERRADA and NIDAA. The SDNJR aims to serve beneficiaries with an integrated FSL, WASH, Protection and Health response through complementary programming. Based on needs and coordination with other humanitarian actors in the area, the SDNJR targets to serve beneficiaries with multiple sectors. Within the SDNJR, 30.254 beneficiaries receive complementary services from different members. For example 6.000 protection beneficiaries in South Kordofan served by ICCO will also receive FSL and/or WASH support from World Vision. The reception center and health facilities supported by Plan International and ICCO will receive WASH rehabilitation support from World Vision. In North Darfur, 100 survivors of GBV serviced by ICCO will receive protection cash from Plan International. During the SDNRJ2 program design phase other DRA members in country, whom are not participating in the SDNJR2, were consulted to provide input on the proposal to ensure that the SDNJR humanitarian programs compliment/link to other humanitarian, development and/or peace programmes. This was perceived as a valuable experience and a first step towards a triple-nexus approach. The relations on Dutch level within the DRA facilitated the information sharing and knowledge exchange between partners in Sudan. In total, the SDNJR response will target 216.556 individuals in North Darfur and South Kordofan with multiple sectors, recognizing their holistic needs, and ensure referral to other partners’ activities where relevant and feasible.

Government, civil society, private sector and communities have increasingly become aware of the magnitude of this crime. With that a realisation has kicked in that this calls for a child protection system that addresses the specific needs of child victims and children at risk of sexual exploitation. A tragic case of sexual exploitation with international media coverage has led to a public outcry and a presidential call for reform of the child protection system. Building on this momentum, children and youth in Batam, Jakarta, Surabaya and Lombok will call on the President of Indonesia to demand measures that make the Child Protection System more child, victim and gender sensitive in its approach to prevention and response. The DtZ Alliance supports them in this endeavour and complements their demands with its own evidence-based lobby and advocacy culminating in a national level event planned for 2021. In the current Child Protection System, there is insufficient recognition for the specific vulnerabilities and needs of child victims and children at risk of CSEC. Law enforcement agencies, health and trauma healing providers, and actors in the legal system are not giving victims the specialist and professional treatment they are entitled to. This leads child victims to experience additional trauma, results in a lack of faith in the system and throws up a distinct barrier to rehabilitation and justice for victims and their families. It also discourages reporting of cases, results in a low (31%-Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection) prosecution rate and prevents responsible actors from knowing the facts and taking responsible action to prevent and respond to this crime. By using evidence from current programming, amplifying the voices of children and posing specific advocacy asks, it will pave the way for long term changes in the Child Protection System and a sense that children and youth are an active part of the Child Protection System rather than passive subjects of care. Participating in the advocacy at national level will increase the confidence of children and youth groups in continuing the advocacy work in their respective areas of residence. By equipping a young generation with the confidence, knowledge and skills to voice their concerns and demands related to the prevention and response to commercial and sexual exploitation of children and by ensuring that they have the support from their families and communities to do so, a powerful segment of society is empowered to take an active role in their own protection and that of their peers. An achievement which will inspire others to do the same and which instills in society the realisation that by listening to children, we can better understand and meet their needs. In the future they will be able to influence local government and local private sector on the child rights and child protection lens in their government and corporate considerations. This project builds on the DtZ Indonesia project (2016-2020) which targets children and youth, communities and CSOs, the Indonesian government and the private sector to prevent and respond to CSEC. There are a number of factors that have led the DtZ team in Indonesia to see a clear momentum for the proposed activities leading to the expected results described below. 1. A number of cases with national and international media coverage received widespread attention and awoke people to the fact that sexual exploitation of children is a pervasive money making business and that it victimises underage boys as well as girls. The President has subsequently instructed relevant ministries and institutions to carry out massive reforms in the system that deals with cases of violence against children. Improvements in prevention measures, service provision and case prosecution were mentioned. 2. The DtZ Alliance, through Plan International Indonesia, has been closely involved in the development of SOP for minimum standard of child protection services together with the MoWECP. This SOP represents an important instrument for civil society to push for formal adoption and integration of these minimum standards into the policies and guidelines of all child protection service providers. It provides a benchmark against which services can be monitored and be subjected to constant support and improvements to ensure that they do their very best in providing child, victim and gender sensitive services to the most vulnerable part of the population. 3. The voices of children and youth groups in advocating for improvements in the prevention and response to CSEC is now heard mostly at community level. There is a clear demand among these groups for support in strengthening their skills to formulate and deliver their messages at national level. The DtZ Alliance would like to use this momentum to bring about the necessary changes. They realised that extra capacity is needed to organise children, so that they can become an active and visible part of the change process in motion. The main target group includes children/youth survivors/at risk of CSEC, as well as children/youth groups who have been working on CSEC prevention with the DtZ Alliance. As the government is the main target of advocacy, this intervention will focus our messaging on the President of Indonesia, the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Ministry of ICT, the Ministry of Tourism and law enforcement agencies. This intervention will also target the CSO service providers on child-, victim-, and gender sensitive centred approaches to child protection, focuses on identifying and protecting children as well as investigating and prosecuting the crime in a way which prevents victims from being re-traumatised. The capacity development will focus to strengthen them on child rights perspectives, CSEC as well as restitution. The aim is to refocus attention on children’ rights and needs, to deliver more tailored and compassionate access to justice for children. Goal: The Voice of children and youth are amplified so that they are central to enhancing child- and gender-sensitive prevention and response to CSEC by Child Protection Systems Outcome 1: Signs of child victims and children at risk of CSEC being empowered to speak out and play an active role in their own protection and those of their peers Output 1.1: 150 youth trained in advocacy contextualised youth advocacy training manual. Output 1.2: 150 youth will join established networks of youth advocates Output 1.3: 8 action plans / advocacy strategies will be developed by youth advocacy groups Outcome 2: Signs of child protection system strengthening in the country through lobby and advocacy and capacity building. Output 2.1: 8 child-centred action research will be developed. These are researches conducted by 8 groups of children and youth in which they do a child rights situational analysis within their respective communities. Local CSOs will support these children and youth groups in carrying out the research. Output 2.3: Of the 150 children and youth trained, 50 will participate in a national event to transform Child Protection System in Indonesia. The project is about embedding skills, a culture of listening to the voices of children and youth, strategically using evidence and adopting standards towards a uniform way of providing child and gender sensitive protection services. By equipping a young generation with the confidence, knowledge and skills to voice their concerns and demands related to the prevention and response to commercial and sexual exploitation of children and by ensuring that they have the support from their families and communities to do so, a powerful segment of society is empowered to take an active role in their own protection and that of their peers. An achievement which will inspire others to do the same and which instils in society the realisation that by listening to children, we can better understand and meet their needs. In the future they will be able to influence local government and local private sector on the child rights and child protection lens in their government and corporate considerations. The national level event will bring together key actors from government, public and private sector and will receive national media coverage. By using evidence from current programming, amplifying the voices of children and posing specific advocacy asks, it will pave the way for long term changes in the Child Protection System and a sense that children and youth are an active part of the Child Protection System rather than passive subjects of care. Participating in the advocacy at national level will increase the confidence of children and youth groups in continuing the advocacy work in their respective areas of residence. This in turn will support CSO’s to monitor and support the enforcement of the implementation of policies at local level.

NL-KVK-41198890-NIC100129 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Girls and young women in developing countries often face two substantial obstacles: teenage pregnancies and child marriages. La League, a project to empower girls and young women to overcome these obstacles, is being implemented in 10 communities of San Rafael Del Sur, Nicaragua, from January 2020 to December 2021. Football (soccer) is the heart of the project, stimulating girls (aged 12-24) to play the sport and help talented players become professional sporting heroes. Football is used to transform gender norms and raise awareness on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). This project builds on the pilot project that was previously implemented in 10 communities in the Chontales and Chinandega region, that will receive additional support for girls’ football to rise to a higher level; as a sport and a driver for girls’ empowerment. It is part of a broader programme being carried out in Brazil and the Netherlands, and partnering with the Cruyff Foundation and Women Win.

NL-KVK-41198890-DOM100186 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY In June 2020 a 22-month long action, led by Plan International Dominican Republic in partnership with Oxfam Intermon and Habitat for Humanity, started to support local and national actors’ disaster preparedness to reoccurring hazards in Santo Domingo Este in the Dominican Republic. The province is exposed to multiple negative impacts of hazards like flooding, landslides and tsunamis. The action will strengthen local populations’ resilience to weather extremes and seismic events by consistently applying a gender, protection and inclusion approach. Among the beneficiaries there will be focus on women, children, migrants and people living with disabilities. The action has 5 components: 1. Emergency response with a focus on protection, inclusion and migrants, 2. Critical information management, 3. Design of contingency response plans at community level, 4. Increasing urban resilient construction capacities, 5. Communication and advocacy on disaster preparedness. Targeted communities identified a lack of community structures or means to work with the government on DRM. Consequently, they lack capacity to respond to natural hazards and have few preparedness mechanisms in place. Provincial and municipal actors report lack of access to real time information, needing physical and digital documents to facilitate decision-making before, during, and after the impact of a hazard. Some of the problems reported in school infrastructure were: a lack of evidence of geotechnical studies; weak structural redundancy; poor water quality and inadequate sanitation; lack of school risk management or emergency plans; and the absence of management structures. Protection: DIGAR is concerned about the lack of capacity within the education community on psycho-affective recovery for children and their families. Crisis situations create problems at the individual, family, community and society levels, increasing risks and weakening protection support especially for children. This is particularly true for foster/care homes which lack emergency preparedness, having no contingency plans in place and no tools to provide psychosocial support. Housing organizations use different methodology and intervention criteria in a disaster. Prior interventions varied in quality and often excluded vulnerable groups such as PwD and migrants. Of a sample of 1,800 people in vulnerable communities, 80% cited the loss or temporary loss of their house as the greatest risk that their family faces in a natural disaster. The shelter cluster only focuses on temporary shelters. The National Housing Institute lacks protocols for emergencies and does not mitigate construction risks regarding vulnerable groups.Women recognized unidentified threats at community level, such as climate change and isolation in relation to safe routes. Adolescent girls have minimal control of resources/power and face increased risks of GBV and early pregnancy, especially in post-flood housing. Based on the needs assessment and in line with the HIP 2020 focus on regional and national multi-hazard preparedness for response, the proposed action is designed to ensure communities, national and local institutions, actors, and governments are better prepared to respond to disasters and have increased knowledge and tools in how to include protection and inclusion in their response. The proposal has a special emphasis on the migrant population in the Dominican Republic, which was identified as particularly vulnerable. The action will intervene at community, local, national, and regional/bi-national levels, targeting urban communities particularly exposed to multiple hazards with limited response capacity of local actors. The strategy addresses identified needs in disaster preparedness/response capacity; humanitarian protection; education and resilient construction. Across all four components, emphasis will be given to vulnerable population groups (PwD, migrants, woman and girls), by ensuring that gender, protection, and inclusion are cross-cutting. The proposed action is complementary to the ongoing ECHO bi-national project “Closing gaps” which is being implemented by Plan International, Oxfam, Habitat for Humanity, and Humanity and Inclusion in a consortium in both Cuba and the Dominican Republic with the specific objectives to: 1) strengthen municipal, national and regional NDMO (National Disaster Management Organizations) capacities for improving disaster preparedness and response, ensuring the inclusion of the most vulnerable people and with an emphasis on urban contexts; and 2) to promote inclusive strategies at municipal, national, bi-national and sub-regional levels for guaranteeing the rights of the most vulnerable people exposed to risk of disasters and uncertainty. Synergies will be created with this action by using, improving, and further disseminating its newly developed tools and strategies and following up on their application by communities and national actors. Lessons learned and recommendations will be taken into account for the proposed intervention, allowing to improve and scale up geographically the disaster preparedness initiatives. At community level, the selection criteria for the beneficiary population is to be in a situation of high socioeconomic vulnerability and high exposure to natural hazards. At institutional level, the selection criteria of the beneficiary institutions is to have a key role at national or local level either in DRM/disaster preparedness positions. This programme commits itself to the following 4 objectives: 1. Strengthening disaster preparedness and response capacity of community, local and national actors. 2. Integrating humanitarian protection in disaster preparedness with a gender and inclusion approach. 3. Strengthening disaster preparedness in the education sector using Safer Schools approach. 4. Promoting resilient construction. In this project Plan will lead the regional, national, municipal and local communications component in the target cities in the Dominican Republic. At community level, Plan will lead the work aimed at strengthening the Civil Defense capacity to support Community PMR Networks. Plan has a long history of work with government institutions in charge of guaranteeing children’s rights to protection and education, particularly the Ministry of Education/DIGAR and CONANI, with whom the organization has established collaboration agreements to promote the protection of children’s rights with a special focus on girls’ rights.

This ensures successful prevention of and response to the sexual exploitation of children. Our current DtZ programme shows that working with youth as beneficiaries of protection systems and as active contributors, is key. The Voice for Change programme responds to this need, strengthening lobby and advocacy skills of youth groups to hold duty bearers accountable and actively contribute to a child and gender sensitive protection system. Besides empowering youth, this programme also promotes capacity building and direct lobby and advocacy towards child protection actors to implement legislation and delivery of services. In the Dominican Republic, this particularly entails the focus on supporting authorities with the newly approved national protocol for CSEC (Commercial and Sexual Exploitation of Children) cases. The Dominican Republic is a tourist destination country known for its beautiful beaches and sea, but unfortunately this also represents a risk for children, especially girls, of being commercially and sexually exploited by travellers and tourists. Despite the lack of official data, CSEC is spread in the communities, due to the weak prevention and response from the child protection system in light of cultural norms that normalize violence. The country counts on a national legislative framework and policy to protect children from violence, but still lacks services and training for its personnel to provide an effective response to the cases identified in the communities. Input from children and young people to ensure the prevention of and response to CSEC, including the available services, are child and gender centered is largely absent: youth participation in the Dominican Republic is almost non-existent and challenging in an adult centered system. In addition to the lack of children and young people actively contributing to their protection systems, the government demonstrates a low political commitment and capacity to implement the child protection legislative framework at local level. Furthermore, the local and national elections this year may signify a change of staff in key positions within public institutions. These changes could slow down the advances in the political agenda for children’s rights. By using evidence from current programming, amplifying the voices of children and posing specific advocacy asks, it will pave the way for long term changes in the Child Protection System and a sense that children and youth are an active part of the Child Protection System rather than passive subjects of care. The first intervention area in this program focuses on: O 1) Child victims and children at risk of CSEC are empowered to speak out and play an active role in their own protection and those of their peers To reach this goal, three intermediate steps are defined (mobilization, networking, building advocacy skills): 1.1 Child victims and children at risk of CSEC with interest to contribute to lobby & advocacy are mobilised 1.2 Child victims and children at risk of CSEC with interest to contribute to lobby & advocacy are networked together for peer to peer learning and more powerful voice 1.3 Advocacy skills of children and youth networks strengthened to enable them to advocate for a child- and gender-sensitive protection system Next to youth empowerment, direct capacity building of and advocacy towards child protection actors is the second intervention area of this program, (O2) Improving child protection systems through capacity building and direct lobby & advocacy To reach this goal, three intermediate steps are defined 2.1 Capacity-building of Governments, LEA and CSO's for transformation of Child Protection Systems generates changes and secures avenues for advocacy 2.2 Child victims and children at risk of CSEC engaged in lobby & advocacy to transform Child Protection Systems in their country 2.3 Supportive lobby & advocacy by the Alliance and its partners to transform Child Protection Systems By using evidence from current programming, amplifying the voices of children and posing specific advocacy asks, it will pave the way for long term changes in the Child Protection System and a sense that children and youth are an active part of the Child Protection System rather than passive subjects of care. Participating in the advocacy at local and national level will increase the confidence of children and youth groups in continuing the advocacy work in their respective areas of residence. By equipping a young generation with the confidence, knowledge and skills to voice their concerns and demands related to the prevention and response to commercial and sexual exploitation of children and by ensuring that they have the support from their families and communities to do so, a powerful segment of society is empowered to take an active role in their own protection and that of their peers. An achievement which will inspire others to do the same and which instills in society the realisation that by listening to children, we can better understand and meet their needs. In the future they will be able to influence local government and local private sector on the child rights and child protection lens in their government and corporate considerations. This project builds on the DtZ Dominican Republic project (2016-2020) which targets children and youth, communities and CSOs, the government and the private sector to prevent and respond to CSEC. There are a number of factors that have led the DtZ team in the Dominican Republic to see a clear momentum for the proposed activities leading to the expected results described below. First and foremost, the current DtZ program shows that engaging youth is key to building sustainable protection systems, which ensure successful prevention and response to sexual exploitation of children. However current programming is mostly involving children and youth through awareness raising on CSEC. Building skills of children and young people to actively contribute to the protection system has not been on the forefront of the programme. Th VfC program responds to this need. Empowering children through advocacy training will improve their capacity to participate and be heard within their families, schools and communities; this is relevant because the right to participation is mainly unrecognized in Dominican Republic and would contrast the patriarchal and adult-centered system that perpetuates GBV. Another important factor is the political situation of the country: In response to the low political commitment and capacity, as well as the upcoming elections, lobbying efforts need to be multiplied at local and national level both with current officials or newly elected officials to ensure advances in the political agenda for children’s rights. # Children at risk and victims of CSEC: 280 # Government officials: 60 Activities for youth empowerment: L&A training of youth groups Mobilize youth groups to mobilize for CSEC prevention Developing action plans to present to authorities Activities for capacity building and advocacy towards authorities Training of child protection personnel Organise consultations of youth networks to advocate with local authorities Organise national forum Organise visits to authorities This program builds on the current DtZ program in the Dominican Republic in which child empowerment is already part of the intervention strategies. Youth groups have started to design action plans for awareness raising of peers and local authorities. The VfC program enables these youth groups to take their action plans forward in a more structured manner and strengthen their advocacy skills to do lobby and advocacy at local and national level. It is also critical to create the conditions and capacities to ensure the sustainability and continuation of the current youth groups since members naturally reach adulthood and eventually end their engagement with the group. Youth in the northern region of the country (Puerto Plata, Cabarete and Sosua) have expressed the need for similar interventions to be initiated. The programme will therefore replicate the approach of empowering youth to speak out and actively contribute to child protection systems in the northern part of the country.

It will deliver live-saving child protection services and safe access to education for South Sudanese refugee girls and boys in the Gambella and Benishanguel Gumuz regions. The action will provide live-saving preventative, responsive, age and gender appropriate protection services and psychosocial support. Mainly through capacity building, community-based child protection mechanisms as well as psychosocial support services. The action will also improve and provide access to safe, quality and inclusive primary education for refugee children. This will be achieved through the construction and rehabilitation of learning spaces, teacher training and mainstreaming protection, PSS and MHM in the education sector. The project is gender, disability and age responsive and has focuses on adolescent girls, children with a disability, unaccompanied and separated children and other vulnerable children. Ethiopia is dealing with large numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons and in addition recurring climate induced disasters (droughts and floods). UNHCR (Nov ‘19) reported that there are 720,914 refugees (63% children) including 320,957 from South Sudan; the majority of them being hosted in Gambella. Although the agreement on conflict resolution in South Sudan stipulates that the new government should have already been formed, in reality this was delayed. Consequently, the camp situation continues t o deteriorate and starting from 12/12/2019 there has been an increase in arrivals at Pamdong reception centre. To release the pressure on Gambella, more and more refugees have now transferred to Benishanguel-Gumuz. Services in the refugee camps are generally much better than in host communities and community assets and resources are also overstretched in the returnee situation. Besides, the recent conflict history between the IDP returnees and the community that stayed behind continues to play a role. Hence, the need to seriously involve the host community is apparent in both settings to prevent tensions. The principal objective is that boys and girls in displacement situations in Ethiopia live in safety and can continue their educational and personal development without disruption by providing high quality child protection and primary education for children in South Sudanese refugee camps and communities where IDPs are returning too; ensuring increased safety and quality learning opportunities. Quality implies: 1) a safe learning environment 2) competent and well-trained teachers who are knowledgeable in the subject matter 3) adequate materials for teaching and learning 4) participatory methods of instruction and 5) reasonable class sizes. Especially in complex emergencies, the quality of education is closely interlinked with learners’ psycho-social wellbeing. Protective/safe implies: people’s physical and personal wellbeing and integrity as well as to their freedom from physical, environmental, social, spiritual, political, emotional and psychological harm. Learning opportunities relevant to the emergency: specific content and teaching/learning strategies relevant to the emergency context must be introduced. This can be defined by the sector, the MoE, the cluster or the agency but must be based in documented and defined needs. The Action benefits from existing cooperation modalities, built during the 5 previous ECHO projects. Plan contributes to the UNHCR led Best Interest Determination (BID) panel. Plan facilitates the process across the camps through its Child Protection Information Management System (CPIMS), which links with UNICEF and Save the Children. Plan cooperates with ICRC for cross-border tracing and feeds information into the East Africa Regional database. Plan has a role in the facilitation of in-country tracing. Plan conducts adult and/or child verification upon request from the UNHCR regional office and the Protection working group in Gambella. The Action benefits from the cooperation with UNICEF with regard to guidance on the quality provision of psychosocial support to girls and boys in Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) and schools. The main target groups for CP activities are separated children and children at risk of separation. The EiE component targets children/adolescents between 7-20 years, who are enrolled in primary education or (at risk of dropping) out of school, with a focus on girls. Other direct beneficiaries: (foster) parents/caregivers, community groups, teachers, mothers in school. Plan will provide safe access to primary education in an inclusive environment to out-of-school children and children at risk of dropping out. Schools will be supported to maintain conducive learning environments especially for female students. To improve attendance and retention, the action will address barriers to access education and ensure that children are safe in and on the way to school. CPiE will be provided through interventions that complement each other, tailored to each child's best interest. Quality will be assured through specific SoPs and guidelines adhere to the revised Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Actions. Case management will follow inter-agency SOPs and categorize children into low, medium and high priority, based on BIA (Best Interest Assessment (BIA) and Best Interest Determination (BID). After case planning, children will be referred to service providers and linked to alternative care arrangements. Regular monitoring and case review /closure as well as information management are planned. Trained male and female case workers are ensuring quality, gender and age sensitive as well as confidential and dignified case management. Monitoring of foster families and other care arrangements takes place to prevent new protection risks. Social and case workers will be trained on referral pathways along with training on the identification tool of interim care either with (foster) families or other long-term care arrangements. Plan will stimulate the refugee, IDP and host communities to become active agents of change, which will also allow them to play a pivotal role that can be sustained after the exit. Capacity improvement and enhanced coordination of CPC/CCC, School organizations, government actors, care givers and other community structures is foreseen. Structures will be responsible for identifying, reporting and monitoring child right violations (including CEFM, labor exploitation, SGBV) and feedback. CPC/CCC will monitor low priority cases and are part of the awareness raising activities. Structures will also monitor school attendance of children at risk of dropping out which can be an indication of protection issues. Relevant training, including CPiE, psychosocial first aid, disability inclusiveness, gender, SGBV and referral pathways will be provided. Disability-friendly CFSs and YFS, established in previous ECHO Actions, will be fully utilized and where needed new CFS/YFS will be set-up. CFS/YFS are fenced to ensure safety and indoor and outdoor playing areas will be available. Gender segregated WASH facilities, accessible for People/Children with Disabilities, are present. Activities like life skills sessions and community conversations will be organized by trained facilitators and together with trained refugee adolescents and youth , who will cascade skills and knowledge through peer education, life skills sessions and community conversation. Activities (games, drama, sport etc.) will be inclusive, age-gender and culturally sensitive for 3 to 18 year old (CFS) and 16-24 (YFS). During activities sensitization on hygiene and sanitation, MHM (menstrual hygiene management), SGBV and SRHR (sexual and reproductive health and rights) will take place. Sessions to promote resilience, self-esteem, self-awareness, decision making, peaceful coexistence and social cohesion are provided based on Plan’s Life Skills curriculum. CFS/YFS are crucial locations where UASC, OVC, SGBV survivors and children/adults with psychosocial needs can be identified. Gender, age and culturally appropriate psychosocial support interventions remain a high priority. Non-specialized psychosocial first aid based on the IASC Guidelines will be provided. Cases that need professional counselling will be referred to specialists. Experienced social workers will be recruited employed to ensure quality of assistance. Plan will provide primary education in an inclusive and safe environment, focusing on out-of-school children and children at risk of dropping out. One full academic year succeeding the current academic year will be covered. Mechanisms will be established to ensure that children are not at risk on the way to school and at school. School grounds, including sex-segregated latrines with water points, are fully fenced and are disability friendly. Schools will adhere to INEE Minimum Standards and use the ARRA curriculum. Plan will continue analyzing the barriers to access and retention in school and offer solutions; provision of school supplies will reduce economic barriers; mini-libraries will help out of school children to enroll. The focus will remain on providing conducive learning environments, through increasing the number of women in schools, raising awareness on the importance of girls’ education, support for MHM and mentoring better attendance of girls is ensure. This approach resulted in an increased girl’s enrolment in Nguenyyiel from 32% last year to 38% now.

The aim is to strengthen the capacity of young people (especially girls) to participate in decision-making processes on issues that have a major impact on their lives, such as teenage pregnancies, child marriages, violence and gender inequality. Dialogue is promoted between policy makers and vulnerable groups so that policies respond to their needs and realities and are actually implemented. We will strengthen the participation of youth organisations in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of public policies, programmes and projects in the provinces of Azua, Barahona, Santiago, Duarte and La Altagracia. The lobbying capacity of some 85 civil society organisations (particularly youth) will be strengthened so that they can advocate the rights of the youth population to the local authorities. Violence against women and girls is a huge problem in the Dominican Republic. For example, in the provinces of Azua, Barahona, Santuiago, Duarte and La Altagracia, 23% of the total number of feminicides (39 out of 165 feminicides) reported in the country in 2018 (data from the General Prosecutor's Office, 2019). Teen pregnancies and early marriages are common. Almost half of the women in these provinces were married before the age of 18. Women's and young people's rights can only be defended to a limited extent. There is little interaction between local authorities and civil society and certainly not with youth organisations. The lack of functional mechanisms for public participation at the local level prevents the necessary articulation and dialogue promoted by community groups and civil society organisations for the enforcement of legal and regulatory frameworks to defend human rights. This project aims to bridge this gap by strengthening the capacity of civil society youth structures to participate in dialogue processes that affect youth in the prioritised provinces. Teenage pregnancy, early marriage and gender-based violence are not only violations of the rights of young people, particularly women, but are also factors that prevent them from exercising or demanding that their social, economic, civil and political rights be guaranteed. Impact: To contribute to the recognition of demands from civil society organizations to promote the exercise of social, civil, economic and political rights, especially sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality in the Provinces of Azua, Barahona, Santiago, Duarte and La Altagracia. General objective: To strengthen the participation of youth organizations in the processes of formulation, implementation and monitoring of public policies, programs and projects developed to guarantee the exercise of social, civil, economic and political rights, especially gender equality and sexual and reproductive rights, of the population living in the provinces of Azua, Barahona, Santiago, Duarte and La Altagracia. Result 1: capacities of 85 youth organizations and community structures (60% women and 40% men, aged 15-24 years) from the provinces of Santiago, Duarte, La Altagracia, Azua and Barahona are strengthened for the mobilization, participation and advocacy for social, civil and economic rights (with special focus towards the promotion of gender equality and sexual and reproductive rights). Result 2: 125 duty bearers (40% women and 60% men), who are sensitized by the mobilization and advocacy actions of youth community structures, show commitment for improved social, economic, political and civil rights (with special focus for sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality). Result 3: 18,000 young people, women and community members (50% women and 50% men, all ages), are sensitized by youth community organizations and structures on gender equality and sexual and reproductive rights This action responds to the historic commitment of Profamilia and Plan International to advance respect for human rights, particularly sexual and reproductive rights (SRR) and gender equality in the Dominican Republic. These organisations have worked for the empowerment of girls, boys and young people to promote sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality, specifically addressing comprehensive sexuality education, awareness of teenage pregnancy and early marriages, prevention and care of gender-based violence, friendly and economic access to contraceptive methods and other sexual and reproductive health services. Both Profamilia and Plan have been successful in advancing and positioning demands for changes in national legislation, norms and protocols, with the active participation of young people. However, it is still necessary to strengthen the positioning of these issues at the level of local governments and authorities. Both the National Development Strategy (END), as well as specific plans such as the National Plan for the Reduction of Adolescent Pregnancy (PREA), make visible the need to strengthen the participation of civil society organizations at the local level. Studies and diagnoses carried out have shown that it is necessary to strengthen and empower community structures, especially those of young people and women, with a gender-transformative approach, in order to enhance their capacity for advocacy and to promote the changes necessary to improve the participation of the most vulnerable groups in decision-making processes and the development of public policies within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and embodied in the Constitution of the Dominican Republic and the END 2030. Target area: provinces of Azua, Barahona, Santiago, Duarte and La Altagracia in The Dominican Republic. 455 young people (60% female and 40% male, aged 15-24 years) and members of community networks of low-income sectors from the provinces of Santiago, Duarte, La Altagracia, Azua and Barahona, including vulnerable groups of young people with low education, low-income, adolescent mothers, and other minority groups. These young people, in turn, will reach, through education and awareness actions, some 18,000 residents (50% men, 50% women) in the intervention communities of the project. 150 community leaders (60% men, 40% women), including communicators and managers of local media. 125 duty bearers (40% women and 60% men), including governors, legislators, mayors, prosecutors, judges, representatives of the National Police, the Attorney General's Office, the National Council for Children (CONANI), the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Women, and the Ministry of Youth. Indirect Beneficiaries: 375,000 young women and men, residing in the provinces of Azua, Barahona, Santiago, Duarte and La Altagracia will benefit from promoted positive changes in policies, programes and projects - Identifying organisations to participate - Organizing workshops for youth and community organisations - Creating dialogue spaces - Organizing youth forum - Organizing workshops for duty bearers - Advocacy actions with authorities, decision makers and opinion leaders. - Set up working groups with the participation of community organisations participating in the project to formulate and monitor action plans for the advancement of rights. - Communication strategy developed - Distributing educational materials - Awareness raising activities The sustainability in this project is guaranteed as both Plan DR and Profamilia have a long track record of working on the theme of gender equality and the SRHR agenda. The youth structures in place are also solid community organisations, so the program builds on those structures.

As part of the national appeal organised by the Dutch SHO Plan International Lebanon will support children and families in the affected communities in Beirut through an integrated Protection and Education project. Following the massive explosion in the port of Beirut that shook the city on the 4th of Agust 2020 more than 157 people were killed, and an estimated 5,000 people were injured. More than 150 people remain missing. According to the Governor of Beirut up to 300,000 people have had their homes destroyed or completely destroyed. As a result of the explosion there was widespread damage to infrastructure: Numerous residences and businesses in the GReater Beirut Area have been damaged or destroyed, and several medical facilities have suffered structural damage. These events have had massive impact on young girls and boys whose lives have been (partially) uprooted. There are high needs in terms of psychosocial support, especially for children, who are now pushed further into hunger. Prior to the explosion, more than half a million children in Beirut were at risk of hunger; this figure will likely only increase. Girls’ and boys’ well-being is also affected as they suffer from distress impacting them on the medium and long term. Also, as many are displaced from their homes they are at risk of violence, abuse and exploitation. There are also children who find themselves separated from their parents and these are at an even higher risk. Our primary investment objective is to effectively support young girls and boys in their protection and educational needs, caused by the impact of the devastating explosion. In doing so, primary caregivers and teachers will also be equipped in various ways to support these young girls and boys in meeting those needs. In terms of protection, Psychological First Aid (PFA) and Psychosocial Support (PSS) will be provided to affected girls and boys. The aim of this support is to decrease the psychosocial distress, improve girls' and boys' well-being and their emotional resilience, and refer medium to high risk cases to case management and other service providers to address urgent needs. In terms of education, the students are in need of back-to-school kits that include stationery and essential scholastic year requirements especially following the recent deteriorating economic situation in the country that has affected the prices of Educational necessities such as stationery and learning materials. Distributing these kits would allow the children affected by the Beirut Port explosion to enjoy some sense of normalcy while resuming their education and would lessen the economic burden off their families as well. Plan International's intervention is part of a wider response of the SHO (collaborating aid organisations behind Giro555) to the acute crisis (quick onset) which followed after the port explosion in Beirut. These organisations joined forces to take action for Beirut. Immediate emergency aid has been undertaken, such as medical care, rescue work, drinking water and shelter. But also psychosocial help for the traumatised victims of the disaster and educational needs. The relief organisations continue to provide assistance to the victims for up to two years after the disaster. Plan International Lebanon will focus on the Protection and Education needs of affected young boys and girls, also through activities involving their parents, caregivers and teachers. This response will specifically target affected adolescents and youth - especially girls, in Child Protection and Education. Those children that find themselves separated from their parents are at an even higher risk. Parents, caregivers and teachers will also be part of the intervention as part of awareness raising and information dissemination. Plan International’s response will cover the period between 26th August 2020 and 28th February 2020 and involves the following activities: 1. Child Protection and PSS support aimed at improving psychosocial wellbeing and positive coping mechanisms of girls and boys affected by the disaster in partnership with local NGO Himaya: • Providing group-based psychosocial support activities to 400 affected girls and boys • Distributing psychosocial support kits to 200 affected girls and boys • Providing individual case management services to child survivors and/or at-risk girls and boys including referrals to multi-sectoral services (180 girls and boys) • Providing key messages and awareness sessions to 250 parents and caregivers of affected children on how to help children cope with distress 2. Education support aimed at improving access to quality and safe education to girls and boys affected by the disaster: • Distributing educational kits including stationery supplies to 200 affected girls and boys • Distributing remote education kits, including tablets to 530 affected families • Dissemination of information leaflets to 530 affected families (children, parents/caregivers) on remote learning as part of the remote learning kits, including information resources and guidance for parents on remote learning • Distributing remote teaching kits to 205 teachers in affected public schools enabling them to support their students through remote teaching Plan focuses on building human and social capital as it is integral to strategic community investment; it leverages and multiplies the impact of the intervention by strengthening local partner organizations, increasing the likelihood of project success and sustainability. Within this response community investment is shown by including local partner Himaya as an integral part to the protection activities. Quality case management including referrals to multi-sectoral services as needed will ensure that the psychosocial needs of young girls and boys will be examined through multiple perspectives and will be monitored over a longer period. The inclusion of parents, caregivers and teachers in the response will ensure that even after the project comes to an end primary beneficiaries will benefit from the intervention.

This led to increased food shortages, water contamination, disease outbreaks and disrupted livelihoods. In December 2023, Plan International in Somalia, in partnership with Taakulo, started implementing an acute response programme for food security and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in ten camps of internally displaced people (IDP) in the Baidoa district. WASH activities include water trucking and rehabilitation of water sources, as well as the distribution of containers, water treatment supplies and menstrual hygiene kits. In addition, to mitigate the risk of hunger, cash assistance is provided to vulnerable households through mobile money transfers. Additional activities include dissemination of information about flood risks and mitigation of gender-based violence. On November 6th 2023, the Somali government declared a state of emergency because of severe flooding, which affected 2.48 million people across Somalia and displaced around 1 million people. The excessive rainfall from October to December caused devastation of crops, deaths of livestock, and damage to infrastructure including homes. This led to increased food shortages, water contamination, disease outbreaks and disrupted livelihoods. The flooding worsened pre-existing low purchasing power due to disrupted livelihoods following years of drought and the ongoing fragile political situation, combined with violence. In most locations, food prices have increased by more than 25 per cent, and up to 50 per cent in locations where people have been trapped by flood waters. The disease outbreaks are projected to worsen over time due to the high influx of internally displaced people in camps, causing congested environments where diseases can easily spread. Displacement and limited access to basic needs have also increased the risk of gender-based violence (OCHA, 2023). The activities are aimed at immediate, short-term relief primarily through cash for food and water & hygiene activities. Water & hygiene activities focus on water trucking, as well as the rehabilitation of water sources and distribution of water containers along with menstrual hygiene kits. Around a thousand households are provided with clean water. For short- to medium-term relief, shallow wells devastated by the floods are rehabilitated. Additional activities include dissemination of flood-risk information, awareness raising to mitigate gender-based violence. In addition, good-practices of hygiene and sanitation are promoted through community water committees (which are also supported to prevent water-bourne diseases and for long-term maintenance of water sources). Cash for food is provided to 496 of the most vulnerable households in 10 camps of internally displaced people, implemented through mobile money transfers, at $90 per HH for 3 months in line with the Cash Working Group and Food Security cluster standards. The floods exacerbated pre-existing challenges in Somalia, causing a high influx of internally-displaced people in (new) camps. For instance, there is an urgent need for access to clean water facilities. Sanitation infrastructures have been heavily damaged, leaving thousands of affected and displaced people to defecation in the open. Therefore, concerns of water-borne disease outbreaks remain high. In this response, Plan and Taakulo work as part of the Dutch Relief Alliance (DRA). The activities are primarily aimed at immediate, short-term relief, but complementarity with other interventions was prioritised due to the major scale of the crisis and the limited funding available. Other DRA members provide complementary assistance including Help a Child, Plan International Netherlands, Oxfam Novib, Save the Children, Tearfund, World Vision. This is a joint response with a multi-sectoral approach. The response takes place in 10 camps, primarily focusing on the needs of internally-displaced people. Cash assistance, and activities for water and sanitation are undertaken to support the most vulnerable households. In addition, 350 of the most vulnerable women and adolescent girls receive kits for their hygiene needs. Taakulo & Plan (T&P) will provide cash for food to 496 of the most vulnerable HHs (3,472 people) in 10 IDP camps implemented through mobile money transfers, with SIM cards provided by Taakulo, for the amount of $90 per HH per month for 3 months based on CWG and FS cluster standards. The cash component will be complemented by additional activities that will lay the groundwork for early recovery. T&P will provide water-trucking to provide access to drinking water in line with the local WASH cluster minimum standards. Treated and functional boreholes in Baidoa city will be used to truck water to 10 IDP camps for 45 days. Water treatment kits will also be used and key water quality benchmarks will be addressed (i.e. total dissolved solids, PH, turbidity, electric conductivity). In addition, jerrycans will be distributed to 1000 vulnerable HHs. 8 public water sources (shallow wells) will be rehabilitated, benefitting an estimated 3600 individuals. The response will be implemented with community water committees in each of the 10 camps. This will focus primarily on prevention of disease, as the WASH assessment showed major risks to life by primarily water-borne disease in the current context. The community water committees will at the same time be supported to provide long-term maintenance for the shallow wells after their rehabilitation. Besides, 350 of the most vulnerable women and adolescent girls will receive complete MHM kits to enable them to meet their basic hygiene needs. Protection mainstreaming is included in this activity, as is AAP and post-distribution monitoring, with a particular focus on aid diversion mitigation. T&P will provide awareness raising child protection and gender based violence through two hygiene promoters. The activities will include strong protection mainstreaming, through messaging / information on protection topics during distribution, most notably to mitigate protection concerns.

NL-KVK-41198890-BRA100378 Plan International Netherlands Summary: SUMMARY The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the sexual exploitation of children (SEC) in the Brazil. To strengthen child protection systems and mechanisms, and build back better from the aftermath of Covid-19, the Down to Zero alliance will implement the Building Back Better programme. It is implemented by Plan International and DCI ECPAT and we will work with children and youth, parents and community leaders, actors in the child protection system and businesses. We will push for specialized services for victims and will support children, youth mobilizers and families by raising awareness, improving life skills and increasing economic resilience. The programme will help ensure that reporting, referral and coordination happens safely and effectively and that services are gender sensitive. This activity forms part of the Building Back Better (BBB) in times of Covid-19, Fighting SEC on the Rise programme. The programme will work in 12 countries in Latin America and South and South East Asia: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, and the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh and Nepal. The selected countries have particular high risks of SEC as well as compromised capacity of the child protection system. Root causes are lack of livelihood causing poverty, community norms and values with regard to gender and sexual exploitation of children and youth, particularly girls, increasing tourism and ICT's. They are highly affected by the Covid-19 related trends, with the impact of travel and tourism being an integral part of their context. The programme will also address cross-border SEC such as along the Colombia Peru, Brazil-Bolivia-Peru and India-Nepal-Bangladesh borders. The overall impact of the program is that children and youth are better protected when at risk or victim of sexual exploitation, during and in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. There are 5 outcome areas defined in our Result Framework. 1. Children (in particular victims and those at risk of SEC) are able to access specialized services that protect them, help them rehabilitate, reintegrate and reduce their vulnerability to SEC in the context of Covid-19 2 Children and youth are able to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response in the context of Covid-19 3 Parents, caregivers, and community leaders are strengthened to provide a protective shield around children against SEC, in the context of Covid-19 4 Actors in the Child Protection System are strengthened in multi-stakeholder settings to prevent and advocate for protection from SEC, in the context of Covid-19 5 Intergovernmental bodies at regional and international level, governments and the private sector prioritize SEC within the wider child protection agenda in building back better during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic The Building Back Better programme in Brazil builds on the results of the previous DtZ program (2016-2020). The main area of implementation is the State of Bahia, with high incidence of SEC. Focus is on working with youth mobilisers and leadership to promote rights awareness against SEC. At community level, parents and schools are reached though workshops and trainings. Another important element in the program is promoting life skills and economic opportunities as the livelihoods of families is heavily affected by the pandemic, causing even greater vulnerability on children and their families. Lastly, collaboration with key child protection system actors (locally based) is based on promoting child protection, by influencing local action plans in time of the pandemic, promoting better intersectoral collaboration and working with boys. The key target group (and final beneficiaries) of the programme are girls and boys up to 18 years old, who are victims and survivors and those at risk of SEC. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. Outcome area 2 Adolescents and youth know SEC and their rights: • 250 girls and 50 boys will receive training on social mobilization Youth act as agents of change in prevention and response to SEC. • Support girls to promote youth leadership in the form of 18 sessions of accompaniment to develop plans (6 in total). • Development of a complementary module on online safety for children, adolescents and youth for the prevention and care of victims and survivors of SEC • Outcome area 3: Increased knowledge about SEC by community members to protect adolescents and youth during Covid-19 • 100 professionals from education, health and social care for the intersectoral response to the crisis and the post-pandemic context. • Strengthen the capacities of workers in the rights guarantee system to provide assistance taking into account the specificities of sexual exploitation of boys. Increased economic resilience for families and their children • 300 girls and young people are mobilised to participate in vocational training groups • 8 partnerships with companies for the insertion of young women in apprenticeship, internship and first job programmes • 7 tailor-made courses for the insertion of young people into the world of work in partnership with companies • 5 companies that generate revenue by providing seed capital and mentorship • 30 women receive guidance for their businesses Outcome area 4 Child Protection System actors are strengthened in multi-stakeholder environments to prevent and defend SEC, in the context of Covid-19 • Support for the development of 4 action plans by local institutions that address issues related to the protection of adolescent children in the context of the post-pandemic. Capacity strengthening: The programme strengthens CPS (at national and community levels) to deliver positive lasting change for children at risk or victims of SEC and their families, beyond the programme’s lifetime. Strengthening the agency of children, parents and community child protection committees will last beyond the programme as well. Policy and practice change: The programme works towards institutional monitoring, referral and coordination mechanisms across stakeholders, e.g. by developing National Action Plans to which partners commit. It further aims for policy change and implementation. Businesses adhering to The Code will do so beyond the duration of the programme. Social change: The programme contributes to dismantling the culture of silence and impunity surrounding SEC and promotes attitude change among communities and stakeholders in support of zero tolerance for SEC. Instilling new social norms around preventing and eradicating SEC, including deeply entrenched taboos around boys and SEC, will create an environment in which children, their families and communities oppose to and stand up against SEC.

NL-KVK-41198890-INC100532 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY Aid organizations are very concerned about the consequences of the large-scale hostilities in Ukraine. Ukrainians are massively fleeing the country and seeking protection in neighbouring countries. Families are separated from each other. For those who are left behind, the situation is life-threatening and extremely uncertain. They urgently need help. In exceptional disasters, 11 Dutch collaborating aid organizations join forces under Giro555. These aid organizations include: Stiching Vluchteling, Cordaid, CARE Nederland, Kerk in Actie, Oxfam Novib, Save the Children, UNICEF, Plan International Netherlands This funding will be used to support girls, boys, and adolescents, impacted by the crisis in Ukraine to improve their resilience. 3,800 girls and boys from unoccupied territory in Ukraine receive a psychosocial support through art therapy box. Sociological research «Teenager problems and obstacles in self-realization during the war» will be conducted, socialized and disseminated. During the war in Ukraine, children pay the highest price, with the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, families are forced to flee from their homes and communities. Children have witnessed the horrors of war, leaving their childhoods under attack. Over 16 million people have been impacted in Ukraine, with millions fleeing the country and millions becoming internally displaced in Ukraine. Children and adults in Kharkiv and other frontline regions have witnessed extreme violence and hostilities and they continue to live in fear; nearly 30% of the population fears to be displaced within a month (Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, July 2022). Displaced children and caregivers continue experience distress – not only related to their experience of traumatic events, but also as a result of new, daily stresses resulting from loss of employment, food insecurity, lack of housing and an uncertain outlook on the future. Amongst other forms of therapeutic interventions, art therapy is a renowned intervention method that has been in use for decades. Art therapy gains its strength from the power of art which enables people to communicate through non-verbal ways and put their thoughts and feelings into shapes, colours, muds and all other artistic materials when it is too painful or too complicated to express through words. Despite the strictness of words, art would permit expression of thoughts and feelings in a less threatening way. This aspect of art approach also helps professionals to be able to expedite the relationship build-up process. - Through Plan International’s partner - Dobrodiy Club - Art therapy boxes will be distributed to children. This box is a specially formed box for creativity which can be used anywhere. The goal is to help restore the psychological resources of children who witnessed the war and find it difficult to describe their emotions and fears in words. -Sociological study «Teenagers` problems and obstacles in self-realization during the war»; to hear the voices of Ukrainian teenagers and to better enable us to identify their problems during the war. 1) Art Therapy box for youth and children (boys and girls): 1.1. Free creative: Children choose a topic by themselves, choose supplies and create a story on paper. Children can create whatever, as long as they can imagine the situation related to themselves during the drawing. For this activity the box contains: - A3 format album and A4 watercolor paper - Paints for choosing the necessary texture - Brushes, felt-tip-colored pens. 1.2. Handicraft techniques: Selected workshops that children can engage with. for children and teenagers do not like to draw, they can engage with any creative activity helps to show and express your emotions. For this activity the box contains a complete set of handicraft tools 1.3. Print materials in the box We will create and add toolkits, guidelines to the box. There also will be self-support recommendations directly for children, as well as materials for parents with useful information on how to support their children. 2) Sociological study «Teenagers` problems in self-realization during the war»: This research will be key to evidence approach programming and influencing to MHPSS in the Ukraine crisis. Once the research is completed, dissemination activities including presentations for the m 3,800 girls and boys in Ukraine receive Art Therapy box. The project supports a wide range of IDPs and host communities' children and adolescents (boys and girls) impacted by the crisis in Ukraine; to improve their resilience. It improves their positive coping mechanisms and increases response and prevention against forms of child protection risks and violations. 1) Art Therapy: Through Plan International’s partner - Dobrodiy Club - Art therapy boxes will be distributed to children. This box is a specially formed box for creativity which can be used anywhere. The goal is to help restore the psychological resources of children who witnessed the war and find it difficult to describe their emotions and fears in words. How the box will be used: 1.1 Free creative process: drawing without rules and restrictions. Children choose a topic by themselves (pick from the suggested list or draw something of their own suggestion), choose supplies and create a story on paper. Children can create whatever, as long as they can imagine the situation related to themselves during the drawing: "Me in the future", "How did I spend the day", "My safe place", etc. For this activity the box contains - A3 format album and A4 watercolour paper - Paints for choosing the necessary texture: gouache, watercolour, finger paints, traditional coloured pencils and pastels - Brushes, felt-tip-coloured pens. These materials provide an opportunity to fully use the method of isotherapy for the self-support of the child. 1.2 Handicraft techniques: selected workshops that children can engage with. Some children and teenagers do not like to draw. Art therapy is not only about drawing. Any creative activity helps to show and express your emotions. That's why we offer children to use a specially created collection with crafts, simple and interesting things that can be made with their own hands. The process will also help with stress levels, focus, and take part with a positive activity. For this activity the box contains: - plasticine - coloured paper and cardboard - glue and scissors - small decorative elements - jute rope and chenille wire These materials make props for the child's own story and can also become tools for fairy-tale, drama or puppet therapy. 1.3 Print materials in the box: We will create and add toolkits, guidelines to the box. There also will be self-support recommendations directly for children, as well as materials for parents with useful information on how to support their children, e.g., on locally available services. Plan International MHPSS Specialist will work on the guidance with Dobrodiy Club psychologist and art therapist. 1.4 Delivery: There will be two methods of distribution: 1.4.1 The Dobrodiy Club team will travel to the newly accessible territories and provide distribution on the spot. Parents/caregivers of target group of recipient children will complete a registration form with key information: name, date of birth, age, gender, disability status, place of residence and current location. 1.4.2 Shipment by the logistics company Nova Poshta, which is restoring the work of mobile stations almost immediately after the newly accessible territories. Thus, we will be able to send boxes individually to specific families. Dobrodiy Club volunteers with parents/caregivers of target group of recipient children will complete registration form. 1.5 Access: There are 3 categories of newly accessible territories: 1.5.1 Recently accessible territories: Main features: - an extremely small number of families with children - the danger of movement and mobility for a humanitarian mission - the majority of the remaining residents are not the target audience of the fund's work - there is no connection. 1.5.2 Territories where official state authorities have returned to work Main features: - gradual restoration of state and private infrastructure, connection & communications - gradual return of the population - relative safety for the humanitarian mission representatives (ability to use shelters) - in some places there are contacts of volunteers, collecting data on families in need. 1.5.3 Territories being accessible for 6 months or more: Main features: - settlements are considered relatively safe - quite a large number of returned families with children - high level of humanitarian aid, good accessibility. This project will focus on category two locations, covering the territories where official state authorities have returned to work - Kharkiv region (Izium, Balakliya, Kupiansk etc) and Kherson region. 2) Sociological study «Teenagers` problems and obstacles in self-realization during the war» To hear the voices of Ukrainian teenagers and to better enable us to identify their problems during the war. This will help to build an effective course of action and an effective communication strategy, highlighting the problems of teenagers in this crisis and coordinate the humanitarian response in Ukraine. The research will be key to evidence approach programming and influencing to MHPSS in the Ukraine crisis. Once the research is completed, dissemination activities including presentations for the media, representatives of NGOs, Ukrainian officials, and project participants. We will work with Kantar as the researcher.

The incidence of violence against children is high and sexual exploitation is often normalized by society where mostly girls are disproportionally affected. Empowering and mobilizing youth is challenging in a context where CSE is absent in school curricula, and conversative (religious) forces are at play. Plan International, together with alliance member Mais Ecpat, will intervene through a community-focused strategy, by strengthening community leaders on positive parenting, social norms change and mobilize other actors at community level (parents and youth) as agents of change. Also actions with local authorities and protection system representatives will be implemented to prevent and respond to exploitation of children, building on the experience of working with the child protection system at both national and local level. SEC has high prevalence in the Dominican Republic. Based on the problem tree desgined for this program by the CO, the following root causes and drivers have been identified: - Normalization of violence and abuse towards CAY - Existence and perpetuation of gender stereotypes - Vulnerable households in a situation of dysfunction &/or multidimensional poverty - Lack of information and mechanisms for training and empowering children and adolescents on SRHR -Lack of trust in institutions, lack of response to cases and restitution of rights, impunity For structural causes, which underly the intermediate direct causes, please consult the problem tree in more detail. The programme will work towards the following long-term impact: “Children in all of their diversity are better protected from sexual exploitation.” This will be reached through three interlinking objectives: 1. Children, youth and their communities successfully challenge social norms and harmful practices related to SEC 2. Children and youth have access to and are supported by strengthened assets and protective environments 3. Children and civil society meaningfully participate in holding duty bearers, including government and local authorities, accountable to their obligations towards improved (implementation of) laws, policies, and systems. Social norms and harmful practices are key drivers of SEC. Social norm change begins at home, and for children, youth and their communities to challenge these norms, they must exercise high levels of agency and autonomy over their own bodies and lives. To the extent that children and adolescents recognize themselves as subjects of rights, they can also better understand SRHR as fundamental, and both children and youth in general, as well as victims of SEC, can aspire to exercise a healthy sexuality that includes respect for their personal integrity and decisions about their bodies. To the extent that they are recognized as subjects of rights, all children and youth are also able to demand access to inclusive protection services that both duty bearers and co-responsible parties can provide. This agency can be supported through positive parenting, strong family ties and supportive community members. Acting together, children, their caregivers and communities, can achieve meaningful change in how all children engage with and are valued by society. SEC can be reduced, and its impact appropriately mitigated through access to appropriate assets and through provision of protective environments for children. Economic resilience is a key means of mitigating against monetary drivers of SEC. Children need access to child-centered, inclusive and locally available protection and SRHR information and services, delivered and received without stigma. With so many varied actors involved in protection and referral mechanisms it is important that such services are delivered in a holistic and coordinated manner. By supporting the specialized care and reintegration services that CSOs provide to SEC victims, it is possible to strengthen the restitution of their rights and integrity, especially in contexts where the role of the government in child-friendly and inclusive service provision is still weak. The SUFASEC programme in the Dominican Republic builds on the Alliance’s collective achievements to date, scaling up the 2016- 2020 Down to Zero (DtZ) programme, the 2020-2021 Voice for Change and 2021 – 2022 Building Back Better (BBB) programme. This allows the Alliance to effectively address SEC in the continuously evolving context. Plan International Dominican Republic joined the Down to Zero alliance in the 2016-2020 DtZ programme, and brought to the country team a rich experience of working with schools, children and youth, local communities, government at local and national level, CSO networks, and CPS actors. Plan International Domincan Republic continues to do so along with a focus on gender transformative programming, a strong understanding of intersectionality and changing social and gender norms. The key target group (and final beneficiaries) of the programme are girls and boys up to 18 years old, who are victims and survivors and those at risk of SEC. We will mostly work with them through children and youth groups. Indirect beneficiaries of the program will be community leaders, parents, and CPS actors engaged in program activities. Outcome 1: Social norms and harmful practices related to SEC challenged Intermediate Outcome 2: More children exercise higher levels of agency and autonomy over their bodies and lives -Adolescents and young people in the provinces of BARAHONA, Pedernales, San Juan, Elias Piña and Azua will be trained in prevention of SEC, abuse and reporting mechanisms of cases of abuse and SEC towards children and adolescents, and strategies for advocacy and social oversight. -Workshops among adolescents and youth to elaborate and plan advocacy actions in favor of prevention and response to CSEC and abuse of children and adolescents -Adolescents implement communication actions for impact on CSEC prevention. Outcome 3: Communities contribute to changed social norms and practices -The consolidation of the content of the Community Leadership training program. Consultancy for the implementation of 120 leadership training workshops for 240 leaders in 12 communities -5 workshops with prominent leaders in CSEC prevention in the 5 modules to be taught 24 community mobilization actions Strategic Objective 2: Strengthened assets and protective environments Outcome 4: Improved coordination of child-friendly service delivery (between sectors and across levels) - meetings between actors of the protection system to plan actions to improve the mechanisms for prevention and response to cases of abuse and SEC of children and adolescents. - 4 meetings between actors of the protection system to monitor actions to improve the mechanisms for prevention and response to cases of abuse and SEC of children. - 1 meeting between actors of the protection system to evaluate actions to improve the mechanisms for prevention and response to cases of abuse and CSE of children and adolescents. - design and implement actions to improve the mechanisms for prevention and response to cases of abuse and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, associated with the prioritized component. - Design and delivery of training for actors in the protection system to strengthen their capacity to prevent and respond to cases of abuse and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. In order to achieve greater sustainability of the program, MAIS and PLAN will strategically link their actions to build those spaces where children and adolescents can grow and develop; thus, fundamental environments such as home, schools, community and protection system and the private sector are strengthened and mobilized to protect minors against the crime of SEC while building resilience. As the home can a place that can become a source of vulnerability of rights and facilitate and/or push children and adolescents into being sexually exploitated, both organizations choose incorporating positive parenting components to decrease those risks to maximum possible. We aim to influence the capacities and coordination mechanisms and regulations of the protection system so that it can respond more efficiently to cases and guarantee children's rights, also after the lifespan of the project. To prevent crime in the activities and services of the tourism industry, both member alliances promote attitudes and behavioural change in the provision of touristic services based on the claim of respect for children and adolescents’ rights.

Trainings and development of l&a plans will be start by the end of 2024. desired future capacities: how to develop an advocacy plan on protection from SEC and SRHR, mapping actors, data analyses for advocacy, communication tools Qualitative progress of SRH025: By the end of Year 3, the project successfully consolidated L&A capacities in a total of 12 communities (exceeding the global target of 9). Building upon the 7 groups trained in Year 2, 5 additional communities were fully empowered this year. The targeted community actors (MCPNs and youth networks) acquired the specific qualitative competencies outlined in the project's framework: they successfully mapped key local duty-bearers, developed tailored advocacy plans for CSEC prevention, and deployed alternative communication tools (such as visual storytelling and the 'Voces que Protegen' campaign). The practical mastery of these L&A capacities was clearly demonstrated through their autonomous execution of 24 community mobilization actions and their strategic, ongoing advocacy within the provincial intersectoral roundtables. In the Dominican Republic, there is no system to guarantee participation and oversight. While there are at least six legal instruments and mechanisms to ensure child protection, but these are currently not properly implemented and children's participation is not prioritized in national policies. The Alliance will focus on a creation of a child participation and feedback mechanism in alliance with civil society and governmental bodies. Creation of a child participation and feedback mechanism in alliance with civil society and governmental bodies. In December 2023 (after baseline) the National Strategy Plan to strengthen the CP system was launched and the aim is to include child participation. This will be a wide participatory process, lead by CONANI and supported by PLAN and UNICEF , which will include CSO's and gov bodies and adolescents themselves. This will guarantee the sustainability of the mechanism. Key product is the creation of a national child participation mechanism. Plan has been invited by CONANI and UNICEF to lead this process. Qualitative progress: The structural reform of Law 136-03 represents a systemic and qualitative shift in the national child protection framework. The project's technical input ensures that modern vulnerabilities—such as digital CSEC, sextortion, and early unions—are formally codified and addressed within the new legal framework. Qualitatively, modernizing this 22-year-old code directly decreases legal and institutional barriers for victims seeking protection and SRHR services. This improvement guarantees a binding, nationwide protective environment with updated referral pathways, representing a much deeper and sustainable impact than a local-level mechanism. This indicator includes young people reached with information on SEC (and not only SRH). The current situation: youth do not receive a program on CSE in schools, no access to reliable information. There is a national Policy to prevent and eliminate early unions and pregnancy but implementation is limited to few municipalties. There is a lot of resistance of the religous/ conservative groups. CONANI is providing some program activities in some municipalties, but this is not part of a standard curriculum. At community level, there is taboo on the topic, although families and schools are pledging on prevention of teenage pregancies. Due to harsh gender and cultural norms, it is dificult to reach adolescents and inform on accessing services. There is a lot of shame around accessing services. This is also different for males and females.

In Year 2, we will conduct training sessions that incorporate these topics, including sexuality, HIV/AIDS, STIs, pregnancy, and contraception, to ensure that adolescents receive comprehensive and accurate information. During the second year of the project, 77 adolescent girls and young women aged 15 to 24 were reached with comprehensive and accurate information on sexuality, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pregnancy, and contraception. Key content on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents (CSEC) was also included and addressed during the training session. The methodology was primarily implemented outside the school environment, using alternative popular communication approaches such as theater, performances, sociocultural animation, and tools inspired by microlearning methodologies. These strategies enabled a direct and emotional connection with the everyday realities faced by young people in their communities. The adopted approach encouraged knowledge ownership and fostered youth empowerment, prioritizing the development of informed autonomy in matters of sexual and reproductive health. The content was delivered in a transversal and integrated manner, ensuring contextualized, inclusive, and culturally relevant understanding.

However, the activity has been rescheduled for Year 2, and progress has been made in hiring the consulting team responsible for conducting the training sessions. Consequently, it is expected that this objective will be achieved during the second year of project implementation. NL-KVK-41198890-LBN200142 Plan International Netherlands SUMMARY: In response to the escalation of hostilities in Lebanon in March 2026, which resulted in a massive influx of displacement and causalities, Dutch Relief Alliance (DRA) has launched an acute joint response. Plan International Netherlands, as a member partner of DRA JR in Lebanon, and in collaboration with Plan Lebanon and local partners, are jointly responding in Beirut and Mount Lebanon (BML) and the South governorates, as they are among the areas most affected by displacement. The intervention is designed to respond to the needs of IDPs living in communities, residential settings and 24 targeted collective shelters. Living conditions and vulnerabilities vary across these contexts. The response will thus apply a tailored, integrated approach aligned with national and cluster coordination mechanisms. Distribution of core relief items, including hygiene, MHM kits, and food parcels in the target areas including hard-to-reach areas, aims to reach a 38,800 unique beneficiaries. Following the sharp escalation of hostilities in Lebanon, the Ministry of Public Health has recorded over 450 deaths, 1,313 injuries, and around 667,831 IDPs as of March 9th. Beirut and Mount Lebanon (BML) and the South governorates are among the areas most affected by displacement. Around 119,700 IDPS are now hosted in 567 collective shelters, many located in Chouf (BML) and Saida and Sour (South), and most of which are public schools that were operating at capacity. Plan and partners’ ongoing response shows shortages of bedding, hygiene kits (especially in Chouf). Protection concerns are increasing in overcrowded shelter environments where women and girls report feeling unsafe, psychosocial distress is rising, and WASH services are strained, especially affecting children, older persons, and PwDs. The economic crisis has weakened public institutions’ response to the scale of needs. Food insecurity is worsening with displacement disrupting livelihoods. Humanitarian support is required to address immediate needs for displaced populations. PIL, with SHEILD and DPNA, will scale up its existing distributions of hygiene and MHM kits as well as food assistance in collective shelters, with protection mainstreamed across all activities. The intervention is designed to respond to the needs of IDPs living in communities, residential settings and 24 targeted collective shelters. The response will thus apply a tailored, integrated approach aligned with national and cluster coordination mechanisms. Distribution of core relief items, including hygiene and MHM kits for 4700 HHs in line with WASH standards while food insecurity will be addressed by distributing 5000 food parcels/RTEs in line with sector guidance. These will be distributed in collective shelters in Sour, Saida and Mount Lebanon by DPNA and SHEILD, and in hard-to-reach areas through convoys directly by Plan. Plan expected to reach 38,800 unique beneficiaries. Protection will be mainstreamed in all activities. Field monitors will conduct regular visits to shelters to monitor protection risks and identify/refer individuals at heightened risk to specialized services. Individuals facing urgent concerns will be referred to PRT/CP/GBV case management services. Psychological First Aid will be integrated across all activities to ensure appropriate support to affected populations. Plan will continue to coordinate its response with other actors and for this project. Plan’s emergency response plan is currently being implemented through Plan’s Ready to Respond approach. DRA funding will allow an immediate scale-up using Plan, DPNA and SHEILD’s existing infrastructure and procurement processes including Long-Term Agreements in place with suppliers. Distribution can start immediately, building on 12,000 beneficiaries already reached with distributions since March 2nd. 24 specific shelters are already selected (see LF). Areas of implementation were selected based on humanitarian needs and lessons learned from the 2024 DRA response, when a ceasefire during implementation did not result in IDPs returning home. Priority is to ensure timely and sustained assistance to populations expected to remain displaced while ensuring that displaced households outside shelters are reached quickly. Implementation will mostly be completed in the first 2 months, similar to the 2024 ACJR when Plan and DPNA distributed 80% of activities in the first 1,5 month. The response will target vulnerable Lebanese communities, Palestinian refugees and Syrian refugees through an inclusive and needs-based approach, providing ±80% of assistance to people in displacement (1st, 2nd or more), with a focus on IDPs, refugees & migrants, with attention to political sensitivities surrounding this humanitarian approach. Attention will be given to the most vulnerable households and individuals. Based on previous RNA’s and the partners’ experience implementing the emergency response in Lebanon, these groups include Children and youth, unaccompanied and separated minors, SGBV survivors, women and girls at risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking, Female-headed households, Working children, Older persons (especially women), Persons with functional diversity, and pregnant and lactating women. The extensive protection mainstreaming and collaborative identification processes will enable the partners to provide tailored assistance to these groups. PIL will implement with its long-standing partners DPNA, who will implement in Saida (South) and Chouf (Mount Lebanon), and SHEILD, who will implement in Sour (South). Partners have been engaged in the needs identification and interventions design, ensuring that emerging needs and access considerations of the targeted populations are reflected. The action will build on Plan’s ongoing response, which has reached 12,000 beneficiaries through WASH and FSL distributions since March 2nd. PIL will directly implement activities in hard-to-reach areas in the South, building on its strong coordination with UNOCHA and experience facilitating access there. Since the escalation of recent hostilities, PIL has supported the deployment of a convoy there and will be responsible for implementation to ensure timely provision of assistance where partner access is limited. PIL will provide technical and coordination support and operational resources to ensure that partners are supported to deliver timely and quality response. The partners will receive 74% of the budget (incl. 6% ICR each), divided based on needs. In line with the Joint Response framework, PIL coordinated with various UN, local and international organizations and DRA members such as Oxfam, War Child, World Vision, Dorcas, and CARE to ensure complementarity, avoid duplication of services and maximize impact, which will be continued primarily through the centralised systems in place.

This has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to unstructured time, isolation and heightened psychological distress. This 3 year project aims to integrate the online aspect into existing child protection mechanisms, structures and policies. The goal is to empower children and young people in Manilla, Cavite and Leyte, to protect themselves and their peers and to take collective action against OSEC and online violence. Child protection system stakeholders will be supported to assess and mitigate risks and to effectively monitor and enforce policies and programs. Relevant private sector actors will develop and implement their safeguards and CSOs will be strengthened to work with children and youth (led) groups. The aim is to increase the accountability of the government under international policy frameworks and national laws. The Philippines shows a huge prevalence of Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC) and online violence, particularly in Manila, Cavite and Leyte. Rapid technological advancements have changed the level and ways through which children are sexually exploited. Sexual abuse and exploitation of children increasingly take place on or through the Internet, or with some connection to the online environment, which has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic due to over-abundance of unstructured time, isolation and heightened psychological distress. Economic distress due to loss of livelihoods and employment opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic, also made parents/ caregivers decide to turn to OSEC. At the same time, the pandemic has affected the already limited platforms for children and young people to participate in public discourse. Community-based child protection systems are not functioning well, while local priorities have been shifted towards the observance of minimum health protocols and the orientation of community front-liners to respond to COVID-19 as a ‘discipline, peace and order’ problem. There is minimal investment on the part of the Local Government Units (LGUs) on child protection programs and a limited availability of OSEC data. Local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) lack knowledge on OSEC and engage not or only limitedly with the private sector, leading to less impact and fragmented responses. At the policy level, legislations on OSEC and online violence are not harmonized and often spread out in some sections of policies against gender-based violence, violence against women and children, and child pornography. To address the identified constraints and needs, the project will empower children and young people, with the support of strengthened CSOs, to protect themselves, their peers and to take collective action against OSEC and online violence. Children and young people’s protective environment will be improved by strengthening child protection system stakeholders to assess and mitigate risks and to effectively monitor and enforce policies and programs as well as to stimulate relevant private sector actors to develop and implement their safeguards to prevent and address OSEC/ online violence. With the support of empowered CSOs, children and youth (led) groups, the project will influence the government to deliver its commitments under international policy frameworks and national laws. It is by providing avenues for genuine participation that children and young people can truly claim ownership of the decision-making processes on matters that affect them the most, supporting them to claim their rights to be heard, participate in and have access to information in the context of COVID-19. Special focus is directed to actively target marginalized groups at risk of OSEC and online violence, including the poorest of the poor, LGBTQIA+ and children with disabilities, to ensure that they are protected and that also their concerns are integrated in the advocacy- and policy recommendations to be developed under the project. The project is aligned to the government’s National Response Plan to combat OSEC and violence in general and the Philippine’s Plan of Action to End Violence against Children (2017-2022). The project builds on a number of recent programmes, such as the Cybersafe Spaces project for children and youth in the cities of Manila and Quezon, Down to Zero Building Back Better in Times of Covid-19, Voice for Change, eliminating commercial sexual exploitation of children, Girls Advocacy Alliance, She Leads, Collaborative Action against Trafficking, and more. This project applies a much needed focus on the online aspects on sexual exploitation of children and what needs to be done to ensure that all key stakeholders are aware of what’s happening and what they can do to prevent it and respond well when cases occur nonetheless. The final beneficiaries of the project will be 8,000 children and young people (17 years old and below), with special attention for the most marginalized, including the poorest of the poor, girls and young females, LGBTQIA+, and those with disabilities from Manila, Cavite and in Leyte. A Project Steering Committee, composed of representatives from Plan International and PLCPD, will be formed to serve as an advisory board to provide overall project direction and guidance. The advisory board will also include representatives from CAY-groups in each of the project areas. A coordinating group of CAYs will be organized, to collect and provide suggestions to planned activities based on the engagement with children, young people and youth.

Impact at technical level: By fully understanding the risks, children and young people are enabled to better protect themselves and to report cases within their families and communities. Their empowerment to influence duty bearers and decision makers on child protection, will contribute to more agile child- and gender responsive child protection systems. By strengthening the technical- and institutional understanding among child protection system actors in online/ offline SEC prevention, response and monitoring, the project contributes to an improved protective environment for children and young people in Cavite, Leyte and Manila, and beyond. Economical level: By providing poor CAYs a voice, they can make demands to the government to include their families into livelihood- and economic support services. Efforts under this project will also improve poor families’ knowledge of available government services and where to access them. Social level: The project will generate lasting social impact by creating an inclusive and safe protective environment for children and young people. Sharing and linking between civil society, public- and private sectors actors will become normalized. By creating new social norms around preventing and eradicating online/ offline SEC, an environment will be created in which children, their families and communities oppose and stand up against sexual exploitation. Policy level: The proposed national anti-OSAEC Act will strengthen law enforcers’ capacity in pursuing perpetrators and lays down additional duties to media platforms and internet service providers to block and remove child sexual abuse or exploitation material.

The following 8 South Sudanese organizations will continue to be part of the JR: ACROSS, CEF, CEDS, WDG, MHA, UNIDOR, WOCO and SAADO. Plan International Nederland will implement its project in Malakal and Melut together with SAADO, continues to respond to increasing protection concerns, and will help to reach more vulnerable HHs with FSL supports and MPC assistance to address severe food insecurity reported. Plan will reach 23.982 vulnerable people. According to the 2021 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), some 8.3 million people in South Sudan are estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance, with communities hit hard by the triple shock of intensified conflict and sub-national violence, three consecutive years of major flooding, and the impact of COVID-19. Over 70% of the population in Upper Nile state were in IPC phase 3 & 4 between April- July 2021 with more vulnerable households still facing food shortage. Lack of food for many households resulted in significant movements of people to other counties in search of food distributed to returnees. In the frame of the 8th phase of the South Sudan Joint Response, Plan International will focus its response in Malakal and Melut counties in Upper Nile State on an integrated FSL, Protection response using the Cash modality. The project will be closed in Malakal county at the end of its implementation duration and will be transitioned to a local partner SAADO by end of 2022. Particularly, Plan and partners will work on preventing and protecting the communities against gender-based violence as well as provide multipurpose cash to vulnerable households. The SSJR program will continue to provide life-saving assistance and aim to enhance the transition from humanitarian assistance to resilience programming, addressing root causes, enabling vulnerable and at-risk communities to build resilience to acute shocks and chronic stresses, and recover from crisis. Lastly, the SSJR program will continue to address critical problems relating to physical and mental wellbeing, strongly reinforcing protection throughout the program, both integrated within other sectors, and as a separate sector. Plan continues to respond to an increasing protection concerns and will scale up GBV, CP, PSS and case management interventions to support additional children affected by sexual health and protection concerns in Malakal and Melut. It will help to reach more vulnerable HHs with FSL supports and MPC assistance to address sever food insecurity reported in Malakal and Melut. The SSJR8 is a continuation of the South Sudan program funded by the Dutch Relief Alliance. The target group for the SSJR 2022-2023 will continue to target the most vulnerable households amongst IDPS, returnees and host communities, with a particular focus on child-headed households, female headed households, PLW, elderly, households with children facing SAM/MAM, malnourished children, youth, vulnerable adolescent boys and girls. The SSJR 2022-2023 program will provide life-saving assistance and aim to enhance the transition from humanitarian assistance to resilience programming by addressing root causes of vulnerability and enabling communities at risk to build resilience to acute shocks and chronic stresses and recover from crisis. Lastly, the SSJR program will continue to address critical problems relating to physical and mental wellbeing, strongly reinforcing protection throughout the program, both integrated within other sectors, and as a separate sector. The SSJR 2022-2023 will continue to contribute to all 2021 HRP strategic objectives: • Reduce morbidity and mortality, as well as suffering from protection threats and incidents; • Ensure safe, equitable and dignified access to critical cross sectoral basic services to enable populations to meet their basic needs; • Enable people with vulnerabilities to recover from crisis, seek solutions to displacement in respect of their rights, and build resilience to shocks and stresses. Plan Internatinal will provide agricultural inputs to a total of 800HHs (4800 individuals) through in kind distributions in Melut. This will be accompanied by training of 1 pers/ HH (total of 100 HHs) on sustainable agro-practices and climate smart agriculture (3 days in total) and mentoring /technical support, using demo-plots. (over 60% of HH with female headed households will be supported). These HH will also receive value vouchers to protect livelihood assets. 15400 individuals will be reached with protection activities. This includes the dissemination of protection information.

Plan and CAPAC will deliver a multi-sectoral, child-centred response focusing on WASH, MPC, and CP through child-friendly spaces and direct community interventions. Activities include hygiene promotion, distribution of water and hygiene kits, and integrated protection messaging. CFS will serve as safe hubs for cash assistance, psychosocial support, and information on protection and health, including GBV and cholera prevention. Plan will rehabilitate one CFS per section, provide CP case management, and establish referral pathways to health, GBV, and legal services. CAPAC, with Plan’s technical support, will deliver MPC to meet urgent needs for NFIs, shelter, and healthcare, prioritizing vulnerable families identified through CP and CFS activities. Hurricane Melissa has dramatically worsened Haiti’s already complex humanitarian crisis, with Grand’Anse among the departments most severely affected. Between the 23rd -29th October, torrential rains, flooding, and landslides have devastated the area. Grand’Anse has suffered widespread destruction and significant losses to agriculture, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Its capital, Jérémie, is one of the most affected communes in the country, with 2,890 HH displaced housed in schools and churches, equivalent to approximately 22,542 people (ACTED RNA Oct 2025). Pre-crisis levels of food insecurity were already among the highest in the country; 94% of households reported insufficient food consumption. Post-disaster assessments indicate a further deterioration, with up to 75% of families now eating one meal or less, and crop losses estimated at up to 90% of local production. As of June 2025, nearly 1.3 million people were internally displaced, the highest figure ever recorded in Haiti. While Hurricane Melissa itself has caused acute needs in Grand’Anse in particular in FSL, Shelter and WASH, Haiti's ongoing crisis remains very much a protection crisis. The intervention targets three communal sections of Grand’Anse: Basse-Voldrogue, Fond Rouge Dahère, and Fond Rouge Torbeck. Plan and CAPAC will implement a child-centred, multi-sectoral response focusing on WASH, MPC, and CP through child-friendly spaces and direct community activities. Plan will lead WASH interventions, including hygiene promotion sessions, distribution of water and hygiene kits, and integration of protection and preparedness messages. Volunteers will receive incentives for 3months to maintain sanitary latrines in overcrowded shelters. CAPAC, with technical support from Plan, will provide multipurpose cash assistance to meet urgent needs for NFIs, shelter, and healthcare, prioritizing highly vulnerable families identified through CP and CFS activities. MPC will help families cover essential needs and reduce protection risks. To address increased protection concerns and psychosocial distress, Plan will rehabilitate one CFS per section, deliver play-based PSS, manage CP cases, and establish referral pathways to health, GBV, and legal services. CFS will serve as safe hubs for cash assistance, psychosocial support, and information on protection topics such as PSHEA, GBV, and cholera prevention. Plan and CAPAC propose an intervention that combines MPC (to cover basic needs incl. FSL and shelter), WASH (primarily to combat cholera and ensure access to clean water) as well as Protection including case management and MHPSS levels 1-3 (to address the ongoing and now escalated Protection crisis). The project will target displaced families in Grand’Anse, one of the departments most affected by Hurricane Melissa, where flooding and destruction have forced thousands into temporary shelters and severely disrupted access to basic services. Priority will be given to female-headed households, children, and other at-risk groups. WASH Distribution of 600 hygiene kits to vulnerable households, reaching about 3,000 people. Each kit includes laundry and bathing soap, toothpaste and toothbrush, toilet paper, sanitary pads, Aquatabs, and a 20L bucket with lid and tap for safe water storage. Kits are designed according to UNICEF WASH standards and ensure inclusion of women and persons with disabilities. Community hygiene awareness sessions on handwashing, safe water use, and prevention of waterborne diseases will be conducted in three communal sections of Jérémie, reaching around 8,403 people. Activities will use participatory methods and ensure inclusion of women, youth, and persons with disabilities. Protection 6,563 people will benefit from community awareness sessions on child protection and GBV, psychosocial support in child-friendly spaces, and follow-up of cases identified through the case management system. Individual case management for 150 children with urgent protection needs, including identification, assessment, referral, and follow-up to specialized services. All actions will ensure confidentiality, gender sensitivity, and coordination with local protection actors. MPC Provision of multipurpose cash assistance to 900 vulnerable households, reaching approximately 4,500 people. Transfers will support essential needs such as food, non-food items, shelter, and healthcare. Delivery will be secure through financial service providers and coordinated with local authorities to ensure transparency and accountability.

This is a 6 months slow onset Acute Joint Response, starting on 30 December 2021, and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Dutch Relief Alliance with a total budget of EUR 2.594.000, proposing a multi-sector approach with holistic Health, WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), MPC and Protection programs. The overarching objective of the JR is to provide 104.851 affected people with life-saving and life-sustaining goods and services in the most affected areas of Centre Nord and Sahel. The past two years have seen a sharp deterioration in the security situation across Burkina Faso’s northern and eastern regions (large parts of the East, Central North, North, Sahel and Boucle du Mouhoun regions) due to the presence of non-state armed groups – many with cross-border ties to extremists groups or movements in neighboring Mali and Niger (OCHA Situation Report, November 2021). Armed violence has caused massive population displacements, while civilians are increasingly targeted. A state of emergency remains in 14 out of the 45 provinces. FEWS NET (October 2021) reports that the third quarter of 2021 saw the number of security incidents in the north and east more than double compared to the same period in 2020. The number of security incidents links up with the increasing number of people in need and/or food insecure. Recent REACH monitoring confirms that insecurity (presence of armed groups / community tensions) remained the main push factor that forced IDPs to flee their home locality. The security incidents clearly are the trigger for people to leave their homes and result in a steadily increasing number of displaced. Plan proposes an integrated Protection and Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL) response, targeting 30.000 IDPs and vulnerable host communities according to cluster guidance, Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) and minimum standards for CP in humanitarian action. Plan will be implementing with national partners APIJ/CN and AJSF and DRA partners, as a continuation of the BFJR1 partnership. Plan proposes to improve the protective environment for the most vulnerable IDPs and host communities, especially children and women, while addressing their basic needs through direct food assistance, NFI distribution and MHM kits. Specific activities include: - 15 mobile CFS will reach 3.490 children with recreational activities, structured and free play to meet their needs in psychosocial support. The CFS also functions as a point of entry to identify protection cases. and refer. To support adolescents, life skills sessions, Menstrual Hygiene and Health education and MHH kits are provided. - 30 vulnerable adolescent girls/women will receive NFIs and are supported to set up IGAs. A campaign to denounce SEA will be conducted to end harmful practices and promote gender equality. One of the lessons learned from the previous response is that capacity building leads to longer term impact. Next to mass awareness campaign on SRHR (&C19), trainings are organised: GBV case management training for protection cluster; training youth peace groups on advocacy & peace; training local partners on CFS management and Plan’s Life Skills curriculum. - 1,400 individuals will receive Food Security & Livelihoods assistance: CASH for food (56,000 FCFA per month) and support to set up quick wins Income Generating Activities (IGA) for 50% of the households to meet their basic needs. A mobile Cash transfer company taking into account the security context will provide the cash in hand. IGA are chosen based on market needs. Cordaid and Oxfam will complement the activities in Kaya (Barsalogho) with WASH, MPC, and additional FSL. Plan can receive protection referrals of these JR partners in targeted locations. Plan has been responding to the crisis since 2019, with a dedicated humanitarian response team. Protection activities will draw on resources and expertise from across Burkina Faso and broader Plan federation. CPiE activities will start immediately by conducting a rapid gender analysis, assessing the needs, risks and existing resources. Training of key community members, local authority representatives and DRA members will start within a month. Plan will leverage existing partnerships with producers for quick and efficient delivery of kits and CFS equipment. Capacity building, awareness-raising, and coordination will be ongoing from month 1 with CFS, PSS & case management activities in place by month 2 to allow time to train community volunteers, procure equipment and outreach. Plan and local partners will reach 30,000 individuals (12,000 females under 18; 10,000 males under 18; 4,500 females 18+; 3,500 males 18+) with mass awareness campaign on Child Protection, SRHR and Covid-19. Awareness-raising in CFS/YFS with IEC materials, posters and sessions on Child/Youth protection in Emergencies including thematic on Covid-19, child/youth rights and protection from all forms of violence, including Sexual Exploitation and Abuse as well as and referral pathway awareness-raising in SHSR including MHM. In order to ensure the sustainability of the action the following key barriers will be addressed: Physical & infrastructural: Safe and accessible CFSs. Protection: Conducting child-centred risk mapping and ensuring Meaningful Child Participation. Social & gender: Addressing discrimination due to gender, IDP status, disability and age through community sensitization.

It improves access to quality basic education via Home-Based Instruction and Accelerated Education for out-of-school children, and supports refugee children’s inclusion in schools. Protection services include case management for unaccompanied children and SGBV survivors. Led by Plan International in partnership with World Vision, Imagine One Day, Geneva Global, the project supports 42,178 beneficiaries with a tailored, zone-specific approach that safeguards learning and well-being in crisis settings. Prolonged conflict, displacement, and poverty in Gojjam, Wag Hemra, and Metekel have decimated education and child protection systems. In East Gojjam, nearly all schools remain closed due to ongoing insecurity, leaving up to 95% of children out of school and highly vulnerable to child marriage and SGBV. In Wag Hemra, slow recovery and poverty keep enrolment rates low, especially for girls and children with disabilities. In Metekel, intercommunal violence has damaged schools, leading to severe overcrowding, high dropout rates, and widespread psychosocial distress, especially among unaccompanied and separated children. In refugee sites in Kurmuk, Ura, Aftit, and Metema, access to education is hindered by language barriers, weak infrastructure, and a lack of trained teachers. Sudanese refugee children face poor integration, and limited learning due to the absence of Arabic materials and low English/Amharic proficiency. Across all sites, protection risks are acute: girls face rising SGBV and child marriage, and children suffer from family separation, trauma, and exploitation. Case management, MHPSS, and referral systems are critically lacking, necessitating urgent humanitarian action. The project aims to restore access to quality education and address critical protection risks for conflict-affected and refugee children in Ethiopia. In conflict-affected areas: The response promotes safe return to learning via back-to-school campaigns, school rehabilitation, and alternative education modalities like Home-Based Instruction and Accelerated Education Programmes. Teacher training integrates trauma-informed and inclusive pedagogy. Child protection measures include case management for at-risk children, PSS, referral systems, and safeguarding initiatives such as school safety audits, assistive devices for CwDs, and girls’ clubs with MHM support. In refugee settings: The project supports school enrolment through outreach, placement exams, and infrastructure upgrades. Teaching quality is enhanced via language support, teacher training, and inclusive practices. Child protection interventions mirror those in conflict zones, with case management, PSS via child-friendly spaces, and strengthened feedback mechanisms. Social cohesion is fostered through joint activities for refugees and host communities. At refugee entry points, hot meals will be distributed to meet immediate nutritional needs and identify protection cases. At project start, several change processes were underway. In Wag Hemra, the intervention builds on World Vision’s EU-funded peacebuilding project (Tsagibji, Abergele, Oct 2024), linking referrals to WV’s FAO-funded livelihoods work. In East Gojjam, Plan leverages its disrupted Dutch MFA-funded Healthy Village project to strengthen the humanitarian-development nexus. In West Gojjam, GGE’s child protection work complements its role in the PIN-led ECHO EiE consortium, closely coordinated with Plan. In Metekel (BG), the project builds on IOD’s prior EiE initiative in Dangur and Mandura, which transitioned 1,287 children into formal education. In refugee-hosting areas of BG and Amhara, it expands on past ECHO-, UNHCR-, and German-funded support, including 16 classrooms and 4 TLS. Despite prior efforts, significant gaps in education and child protection remain. The project fills this void by integrating EiE and CP, enhancing coordination, avoiding duplication, and reaching underserved children through alternative education, case management, and inclusive, safe learning environments. The project targets crisis-affected children, especially girls, adolescents, out-of-school children, and children at risk of dropping out of school. Many come from the poorest households, live in IDP sites or remote areas, and face high protection risks (e.g., UASC, GBV survivors, children with disabilities). The action ensures inclusive, safe, and responsive support. The project delivers a multi-sector humanitarian response across conflict-affected and refugee-hosting areas in Benishangul-Gumuz and Amhara. Activities focus on education, child protection, gender-based violence (GBV), mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), and peaceful coexistence, ensuring access to life-saving services and building community resilience. Result 1: Education and Child Protection in Conflict-Affected Areas In West Gondar, Metekel and Wag Hemra, education access is restored through rehabilitation of classrooms, WASH facilities, and furniture in five schools, benefiting 2,500 children. Emergency learning materials are distributed to children and teachers. Accelerated Learning Programs (ALP) reach out-of-school children and adolescents with referrals to formal education where possible. Teachers receive training on emergency pedagogy, PSS, and inclusion of children with disabilities. Community-based child protection systems are strengthened by reactivating or creating child protection committees and community volunteers, who are trained on CP principles, referral pathways, and harmful practice prevention. Complaint and feedback mechanisms (CFMs) are established to improve accountability and service delivery, with child-friendly designs and referral linkages. Result 2: MHPSS and GBV Prevention and Response in Conflict Areas Four safe spaces provide structured PSS activities for children and adolescents. Children with severe distress are referred to case management and specialized MHPSS. Trained staff and volunteers lead activities and monitor wellbeing. GBV case management services are offered confidentially to child survivors, including referrals for health, legal, and psychosocial support. Awareness campaigns in schools and communities address GBV risks like child marriage and domestic violence. Community dialogues with elders, parents, and faith leaders promote gender equality, prevention, and referral. CFMs are strengthened for survivor-centred accountability. Result 3: Education for Refugees and Host Communities In Aftit and Ura refugee camps, new classrooms, WASH blocks, and fencing create safe learning environments for refugee and host children. Learning materials and ALP classes improve retention, especially for adolescents and girls. Children with disabilities receive individual support and assistive devices. National and refugee teachers receive joint training on PSS, inclusion, and gender sensitivity. Language classes (English for teachers and local language for refugees) support integration. School safety measures include referral pathways, CFMs, and community engagement on education barriers. Result 4: Protection, GBV Response and Peaceful Coexistence in Refugee Settings Community-led protection risk assessments and GBV safety audits identify hazards, especially near water, sanitation, and schools. Findings inform targeted awareness sessions and service improvements. Information desks disseminate protection messages and service access details. Case management supports at least 350 child survivors of SGBV in Ura and Aftit, including emergency cash assistance. Group activities serve as discreet entry points for survivor identification. Community and faith leaders receive training on GBV harms and referral systems. Sensitization campaigns, including dialogue forums and "coffee conversations," promote behavior change and reporting. These reach 80 participants across camps. Quarterly forums foster peaceful coexistence between refugees and hosts by addressing grievances and strengthening trust. Shared services, scholastic materials for host children, and joint language classes encourage integration and reduce tension. Result 5: Immediate Food Assistance for New Refugee Arrivals At Metema and Kurmuk entry points, hot meals are provided via token systems to 7,100 new refugees over two days. Meals meet cultural preferences and nutrition standards, bridging the gap until registration and longer-term food assistance. Coordination with nutrition partners ensures quality and consistency. The project addresses immediate humanitarian needs while strengthening long-term resilience through linkages with development programs, such as WV’s peacebuilding project in Tsagibji and Abergele. Partners, being dual mandate organisations, aim to sustain results via Nexus funding, despite limited development donor interest in targeted areas. Key contributions to reducing vulnerabilities involve engaging communities and local governments. Woreda officials participate in training, ensuring potential activity handover. Strong partnerships, including Geneva Global’s ties with the Ministry of Education, enhance sustainability. Community members serve as case workers, teachers and facilitators, gaining lifelong skills to support their communities. Relief efforts enable conflict-affected populations to engage in sustainable livelihoods, reducing aid reliance. Humanitarian support for refugees and host communities promotes coexistence, fostering long-term integration. Education interventions provide materials, rehabilitate schools, and integrate refugees into national systems through collaboration with the education bureau. These efforts strengthen community structures, build government staff capacity, and raise awareness on gender, disability, and protection issues. Collaboration with government sectors, NGOs, INGOs, and UN agencies ensures service continuity post-implementation, addressing long-term needs and sustainability.

Increased armed violence are causing mass displacement in Haiti, exposing children and adolescents to growing risks, and hampering access to education. Deportations are causing acute protection risks, from family separation to heightened risk of child labour, SGBV and acute emotional distress. The project aims to provide immediate and life-saving protection and education support to the people most in need, targeting children, adolescents and their families in the Haitian communes of Anse-à-Pitres, Jacmel and Bainet, and the Dominican provinces of Elias Piña at the border, as well as La Altagracia’s Verón. The project runs for 24 months from the 15th of May 2025 until the 14th of May 2027 in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. With the escalating humanitarian crisis in Haiti on one side, and the growing deportation measures being taken by the Dominican government on the other side, Haitians and people of Haitian origin are facing immense adversity on either side of the island. Increased armed violence are causing mass displacement in Haiti, exposing children and adolescents to growing risks, and hampering access to education. Deportations are causing acute protection risks, from family separation, to heightened risk of child labour, SGBV and acute emotional distress The principal objective of this action is to strengthen the protective environment and to ensure access to quality child protection services and education services for children, adolescents and their families affected by violence, migration and deportation measures in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The proposed Action adopts a three-pronged approach: firstly by directly responding to urgent child protection needs with quality child protection case management, the deploymentof adaptive psychosocial support, including through mobile units to reach the most underserved communities, and creating a generally more protective environment through community protection mechanisms. Secondly, in line with the HIP, the action will contribute to the prevention (and where possible stopping) of the worst humanitarian consequences of human rights violations by supporting locally-led humanitarian advocacy, while providing much needed monitoring and documentation support for evidence-based awareness raising, as well as comprehensive binational coordination for case management and referals. Finally, in Haiti protection efforts are integrated with emergency education interventions to ensure children are able to access education services. With longstanding presence in both countries, the proposed Action leverages synergies and complementarity of Plan’s existing and past programs and relations with local and national authorities, working groups, and partners. In Haiti, the proposed Action complements Plan Haiti ‘s (PiH) Emergency Response Plan (2024-2027) which coordinates interventions across Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE), Education in Emergencies (EiE), and Food Security sectors. In the Dominican Republic, the project is implemented in collaboration with Dominican partner OBMICA. Both Plan Haiti and Plan Dominican Republic are united under Plan's Caribbean Strategy (2025-2029), which maximizes impact through shared goals and collaborative approaches for vulnerable Children, Adolescents, and Youth across the island. This established coordination provides a strong foundation for effective binational humanitarian programming, leveraging coordination mechanisms, shared learning processes, and complementary technical expertise that enable seamless cross-border operations. This project aims to work with children, adolescents and their families affected by 1) armed violence and displacement and/or 2) affected by migration and deportation measures. The project aims to reach 10 993 unique beneficiaries (without double counting), the large majority of which are children and adolescents between 5-17 years old. In the Dominican Republic, the core of the response is in Child Protection in Emergencies, which will reach a total of 2903 unique beneficiaries, with the majority (67%) being children and adolescents (5-17 years old).

Together with local partner Development for People and Nature Association (DPNA), Plan International is providing a humanitarian response that focuses on the provision of food security, WASH and shelter items, with a strong protection mainstreaming element. Initially, the intervention was designed to target crisis-affected people in collective shelters in Chouf and Aley districts in Mt. Lebanon, and Saida in the South governorate. After the ceasefire of November 2024, the activities were shifted to target the most vulnerable people in Tyre and the Southern Suburbs. The response is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Dutch Relief Alliance (DRA), with Plan International and DPNA being part of a larger consortium that operates through this Acute Crisis Joint Response. Due to the escalation of violent conflict in the Middle East, Lebanon is currently facing a major acute crisis characterised by sudden, large-scale displacement. Based on the guidelines of the recommendation paper developed by DRA members and on Plan International and DPNA’s own assessments, the action initially targeted Chouf and Aley in Mt. Lebanon and Saida in the South governorate. These locations were chosen due to the fact that they hosted a large number of IDPs and because of the situation in the collective shelters. After the ceasefire in November 2024, many displaced people returned to their hometowns. In line with recommendations from the sector working group, activities are now shifted to the Southern Suburbs and Tyre being priority areas where Plan International and DPNA can better address the needs of displaced populations. Considering these needs in the specific locations targeted, DPNA and Plan's response will prioritise WASH, with drinking water and hygiene kits, including Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) supplies. With the onset of winter, NFIs will be distributed to provide winterisation support for those most in need. To address the immediate nutritional needs of displaced families, food kits and Ready-to-Eat (RTE) meals will be distributed. Given the severe psychological toll and protection risks, strong protection mainstreaming will be put in place. The action is designed with the core objective of providing lifesaving assistance to the most affected people and meet critical needs identified, while adhering to sectoral, international and local standards (including FSL, WASH and basic assistance national sector recommendations in addition to the CHS). Plan will combine direct operations with a collaboration with our local partner DPNA, who will have a leading role and was fully involved in the design. Plan will lead the direct implementation in the Southern Suburbs (FSL/WASH/NFIs), leveraging its strong operational presence, while DPNA will lead in Tyre (FSL/WASH) based on their deep community ties and a strong understanding of the local context. DPNA was actively involved through the needs assessments and the identification of critical gaps as well as full ownership of the design of activities in Tyre. DPNA is supported by Plan through capacity building, technical guidance, logistical support, and resource sharing. The JR consortium under the lead of War Child has coordinated extensively to prevent overlap and create synergies wherever possible. Plan and DPNA focus on targeting vulnerable groups identified as most in need within the conflict-affected population, ensuring inclusivity and prioritising those disproportionately impacted by the crisis. Beneficiary identification is conducted in close collaboration with municipalities and through referrals from the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) teams, aligning with sector-specific criteria to ensure effective and transparent targeting. The action is designed with the core objective of providing basic assistance to IDPs and other vulnerable groups in the Southern Suburbs and Tyre to meet the urgent needs identified, while adhering to sectoral, international and local standards (including FSL, WASH and Basic assistance national sector recommendations in addition to the CHS). The activities focus on WASH, food security, winterisation and protection mainstreaming. Plan and DPNA adopt a needs-based approach, starting with the provision of critical WASH services to ensure access to safe drinking water and hygiene supplies, including MHM kits. This is particularly crucial in substandard living conditions, where IDPs lack basic sanitation and hygiene facilities. The provision of winterisation NFIs, such as blankets, is planned to mitigate the harsh impacts of winter on vulnerable families. Simultaneously, the distribution of food kits, including Ready-to-Eat (RTE) meals in shelters that lack kitchens, will address immediate nutritional needs. The action is designed in close coordination with local and national actors, leveraging the expertise and reach of local partners and communities. Plan works alongside JR members, local municipalities, and relevant authorities to ensure complementarity with ongoing efforts. Plan’s emergency response plan for the current situation was in place several months in advance and is thus being implemented since the very start of the latest escalation, building on Plan’s Ready to Respond approach. Emergency assistance is ongoing and the acute DRA funding will allow an immediate scale-up using Plan/DPNA’s existing infrastructure, procurement processes, and established contracts with suppliers and vendors (for items such as hygiene kits, blankets, and food kits).

The SHO is itself made up of 11 of the country’s largest humanitarian organizations, with Plan receiving approximately 5-8% of the proceeds. The general objective of this project is to contribute to humanitarian assistance to displaced families across the Middle and South of the Gaza Strip by providing them essential life-saving assistance. On the 7th of October, Gaza witnessed a sudden escalation of violence that has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis. 40,791 casualties, with 68% being women and children, alongside more that 100k injuries. Over 1,550 Palestinians, of whom 870 are children, are missing presumed trapped or dead under the rubble1. The violence has resulted in 1,487 male fatalities, leading to a surge in widows and nearly 900 new households led by women. Additionally, 3,103 children have lost their fathers, and this toll continues to rise in the absence of a ceasefire. UNFPA estimates 540,000 women of reproductive age in Gaza, with 50,000 pregnant and 5,522 expected to deliver in the next month 2. Since October 11th, Gaza has been in a full electricity blackout due to Israel's halt of electricity and fuel supply, forcing reliance on limited backup generators due to fuel scarcity. Approximately 1.4 million internally displaced people are estimated in Gaza, with nearly 580,000 sheltering in 150 emergency shelters, where overcrowding is a growing concern. Gaza lacks water, power, and fuel supplies, trapping 2.3 million people. The Israeli government advised nearly half the population to evacuate the north of the enclave, worsening the dire situation.

Six Dutch based NGOs (Plan International, Oxfam, CARE, Terre des Hommes, ZOA & Stichting Vluchteling/IRC) together with seven local NGOs (CHAD, CRUDAN, CATAI, CBI, EYN, LABDI, LHI & GHV Africa) have joined hands to provide emergency relief including access to safe drinking water, in order to prevent illnesses like cholera, providing food and financial assistance to replace belongings lost during the floods, as well as emergency protection services such as assisting children who have lost their families. At least 130.000 people will be supported with such assistance. Heavy rainfalls are causing severe flooding all across northern Nigeria, so far affecting 31 states and over 1 million individuals. Borno State in the northeast is among the most affected states, with over 414,000 people severely affected, 400,000 people displaced, 37 people reported dead, and 58 people injured. When the recent flash floods broke out in Borno State, northeast Nigeria was already facing an acute food crisis and an ongoing conflict with non-state armed forces. The flash floods in Borno state, caused by heavy rainfalls and aggravated by the breaking of the Alau Dam in Konduga Local Government Area (LGA), have caused extensive damage to infrastructure, crops and shelter, severely impacting livelihoods and displacing households. According to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the fast-moving waters submerged over 70% of Maiduguri city. OCHA estimates that over 400,000 people in Borno State were displaced, forcing them to relocate to former and operational IDP camps already housing IDPs. Former and operational IDPs camps quickly reached full-capacity, unable to provide safe-drinking water, food, and basic NFIs to recently displaced populations. The total number of individuals targeted, without double counting, is 13,440. Vulnerable groups include recently displaced HHs, female-headed households, PLWs, women at risk of GBV, households with persons with disabilities, child-headed households or UASC, as well as households headed by elderly or sick persons. WASH: The JR aims to improve access to safe drinking water, improve (safe) access to WASH facilities, prevent waterborne diseases and improve public health outcomes. WASH activities have been devised to also address the most pressing public health concerns, including water-borne diseases and water contamination. Activities include distributing water purification tablets, distributing dignity/hygiene kits, providing emergency water trucking, repairing, disinfecting and rehabilitating water points, rehabilitating latrines or installing emergency latrines, as well as conducting culturally sensitive health and hygiene promotion. Plan and its partner CHAD, and SV/IRC will provide emergency water trucking aiming to immediately enable access to at least 15l/pp/day of clean water to people still living in IDP camps, or in communities already returning to areas where water systems have been damaged. ZOA, Oxfam, Terre des Hommes, Plan International and SV/IRC will disinfect and rehabilitate boreholes (water points) destroyed by the floods, in coordination with the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency for technical support and maintenance. Terre des Hommes and ZOA will both replace or repair latrines, ensuring they are safe and gender-segregated, fully equipped with handwashing stations and drainage systems. Hygiene and dignity kits, containing soap, laundry soap towels, toothpaste, brush, soap, jerrycan, reusable hygiene pads and kettle will be distributed by ZOA, Plan, SV/IRC and Oxfam. The joint response will also include health and hygiene promotion as well as training of promoters. MPC: ZOA, Oxfam and Plan will provide multipurpose cash assistance (MPC) in order to address the nutrition, food, shelter and non-food items (NFI) needs of the affected population. MPC was identified in partners’ rapid need assessment as an appropriate response in order to stimulate markets, which are slowly recuperating, and enable households to prioritise their most urgent needs. Partners will align with the local CWG guidelines and MEB. ZOA, together with partners LHI and CBI will provide one round of MPC, supporting 1300 HHs (6500 persons). Oxfam aims to provide MPC to 14,000 individuals, leveraging ongoing initiatives to maximise impacts. Plan will provide monthly MPC over a 3-month period to 900 vulnerable households (7,200 individuals) to improve the nutritional status of households, particularly children under-5, pregnant and lactating women and the elderly, and to allow HHs to replace key lost assets. MPC is an important component aimed at addressing the lack of access to food commodities. FSL: CARE will provide direct food assistance, distributing two hot meals (wet feeding) per day for 10 days to 6,000 people still in IDP camps, in addition to cash for food for 300HH. The response will target families in flood-affected areas through participatory targeting in coordination with other partners in the target locations to prevent overlaps, promote inclusivity, and ensure assistance reaches the appropriate deserving participants based on vulnerability. Protection: Plan, Care and Terre des Hommes will provide protection services in order to reach the most vulnerable children and adolescents, including those with disabilities. Activities include setting up case management for child protection and SGBV. Case management will also entail the identification and reunification of UASC as well as specialized services for children with disabilities. Considering the increasing risks of SBGV, partners will carry out SGBV awareness campaigns, ensuring that they are culturally appropriate and inclusive. Terre des Hommes will also establish community-based protection mechanisms, which include CP Protection Focal Points, child rights groups, and Women & Men Against SGBV groups, which will serve as first responders, identify protection concerns and refer to appropriate services. Psychosocial support will be provided through child-friendly spaces, as well as women and girl’s safe spaces. Nutrition: With 40% of beds in stabilization centres affected by the flooding, this joint response via SV/IRC will aim to rehabilitate the Mashamari Stabilization Center through the procurement of laboratory equipment, oxygen concentrators, essential drugs, and therapeutic food, as well as additional bedding and mattresses. SV/IRC is also aiming to establish integrated nutrition treatment centers in IDP camps. Shelter/NFI: Approximately 10500 beneficiaries will also be provided with jerrycans, buckets, soap, cooking items, solar torchlights and other items in the first weeks of the crisis to meet urgent needs.

The project addresses the intersectional challenges that girls in Marsabit face especially during a crisis. Marsabit county is home to about 560,000 people who mainly practice pastoralism. The current climate crisis has affected the source of livelihood of the community with a prolonged drought that ended in late 2023 followed by El Nino rains in the last quarter of 2023. The floods have had devastating consequences for girls, women and children, heightening the risk of gender-based violence (GBV), sexual exploitation and abuse. Female headed households and adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to increased violence, exploitation, and abuse. To address the issues faced by girls in Marsabit, a nexus approach will be applied that must address both their: 1. immediate, lifesaving needs and also their 2. long-term resilience in the face of changing climate and lifestyles, contributing to 3. a more stable and peaceful community. Marsabit County is experiencing an increasing cycle of hazards due to climate change. Over recent years a prolonged drought (ending in late 2023) has resulted in 60-75% loss of livestock. Today, El Niño poses a pending risk of flooding and unpredictable rains (usually during the months of October-December). This all has an implication for the amount and quality of water available for people and their livelihoods (water for livestock and agriculture). The lack of access to clean and reliable water sources increases the risk of disease and malnutrition and affects a sense of dignity. Women and girls face particular challenges in Marsabit, especially during a crisis. As in many pastoral communities, girls and women are "responsible" for small scale farming and household chores like fetching water - shortages in water and food, insecurity and exacerbated gender norms place women and girls in more labour-intense and dangerous situations, with increased risk for gender-based violence and decreased access to health and hygiene including menstrual hygiene. Girls are at particular risk of FGM/C, CEFM and school dropout. To address the issues girls face, the response addresses both their 1) immediate, lifesaving needs and also their 2) long-term resilience in the face of changing climate and lifestyles. In combination, these two aspects also contribute to 3) a more stable and peaceful community. Using this “triple nexus” approach, it is expected that girls and their families (and incomes) are better prepared for (climate) crises and are more resilient to the effects of climate change: ✓ Families have better access to nutritious food and drinkable water ✓ Households practice climate resistant farming techniques for better yields ✓ Children and mothers endure less illness and infant mortality ✓ The voices of girls, women, men and boys (including the disabled) are represented in community-level decisions ✓ Girls and their communities have ownership over sustainable solutions that affect them ✓ Men and boys are more aware of the specific needs, strengths and challenges of women and girls ✓ Girls and women feel safer in their communities Throughout the project, child protection will be prioritised and mainstreamed with a specific lens towards the specific experience and needs of girls. Plan International Kenya, Plan International Netherlands and Strategies for Northern Development (SND) will form the consortium implementing this project. Plan and SND have a history of collaboration in Marsabit. They worked together in the humanitarian response to the flooding of 2023. With this comes a wealth of experience to build on as well as existing projects and partnerships to leverage. The project will collaborate with relevant government departments and other partners in the thematic area as it contributes to achieving some of results in the county Integrated Development Plan. 14,000 girls [aged 0-18 years] and their families in sub-region Dukana Ward. Community leaders, including men and elders, boys, girls and women. In line with the nexus approach, the first months will focus on urgent (humanitarian) needs. Later phases of implementation will focus on long-term (development) needs, while building community resilience. Throughout, specific activities will focus on child protection while also indirectly contribute towards community cohesion and peacebuilding. In this project we combine humanitarian and development approaches and are working with a Crisis Modifier budget to respond quickly to crisis situations, in order to be more adaptive in our programming in challenging contexts like in Dukana. Outcome 1: Enhanced community-level resilience and recovery to climate change. ►Activity 1.1: Non-Conditional cash transfers to 238 households. Post-distribution monitoring will be carried out to measure the use and impact of these transfers on nutritional food access, livelihoods and school attendance. ►Activity 1.2: Establish, support and promote VSLA groups for women The project will establish 3 VSLAs, with an expected participation of 20-30 young women in each group. ►Activity 1.3: Conduct community sensitisation and training on dryland farming on climate-smart agriculture Training will focus on dryland farming practices designed to optimise agricultural productivity in water-scarce environments. The training will target 150 farmers in Dukana who will include both men and women. ►Activity 1.4: Provide farming and irrigation tools (and cash for tools), including drip kits, seeds and irrigation equipment. This activity will provide critical farming inputs such as seeds, fertilisers and pest control products that are tailored for dry land agriculture. Irrigation equipment, like drip irrigation systems, will be used to facilitate efficient water use in arid conditions. ►Activity 1.5: Establish and promote 4K Clubs and Young Farmers Clubs in schools These clubs are focused on agriculture and the climate, and will prepare young people for agricultural engagement, climate resilience, market research and careers. In addition to training and exposure related to agriculture, the clubs also provide opportunities for young people to build life skills including leadership, and to participate in events. The activity borrows Plan International’s successful Green Life Skills curriculum. These groups will also be vehicles for transferring information about child rights and as venues for discussion on topics relevant to adolescents and young people such as CEFM, GBV, SRHR, and conflict prevention/resolution. The project will establish 3 clubs, with an expected participation of 40 young people in each group. Outcome 2: To enhance gender-sensitive access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services ►Activity 2.1: Rehabilitation of community borehole and ongoing maintenance The waterpoint will provide household water, while also contributing to extending water services for small-scale irrigation (see Activities 1.2 and 1.3). Community water committees will be trained in the maintenance of these facilities ensuring that women enjoy meaningful participation and influence in decision making about the borehole and its use. ►Activity 2.2: Capacity building on sanitation and hygiene Capacity building will be done both in schools through the school clubs, school committees as well as through community leaders. Community leaders are the traditionally mandated and influences use of communal resources like seasonal livestock grazing practices, wells and boreholes and therefore they are key decision makers in the operation, maintenance and management of community cultural practice. ►Activity 2.3: Provision of dignity kits 250 kits will be distributed to girls and MHM awareness shall be conducted during the sessions. Boys will also be included as part of raising awareness and breaking the cycle of shame and discrimination. ►Activity 2.4: Supply of handwashing facilities, accompanied by maintenance and cleaning supplies The project will supply handwashing facilities in 3 schools. Outcome 3: To support women and girls, men and boys to feel safe and empowered to claim their rights ►Activity 3.1: Community sensitisation on child protection, positive gender norms, and conflict mitigation including raising awareness toward existing referral pathways and available services. ►Activity 3.2: Support county-level technical working groups (gender, child protection, health, education, disability). The project will ensure that the voices of Dukana community are heard on issues that continue to affect them. ►Activity 3.3: Support policy forums including dissemination Any local, regional or national policies that are supported by this project (via Activity 3.1 or 3.2) will be disseminated to community members with opportunities for discussion and questions. ►Activity 3.4: Promote meaningful participation of young people. To ensure young people are actively and meaningfully participating in relevant community mechanisms, Environmental sustainability: The activities are designed considering natural hazards and adhere to guidelines on DRM and child safeguarding. The availability of the crisis modifier is to allow real-time adaptation and flexibility in project implementation. Social sustainability: Participants will be equipped with tools and knowledge on how to tackle cultural norms, especially gender bias. In the project several levels of society will be included, such as families, schools, private sector, and government sectors to improve the social environment and social cohesion.

Plan International’s activities in Haiti are focused on protection and Multipurpose Cash (MPC) Assistance and will be implemented in the municipality of Jacmel in the Sud-Est department, and the Turgeau section of the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince in the Ouest department. The project prioritises crisis-related psychosocial support and the identification and referral of children with protection concerns to appropriates services. The project runs from 29 April 2024 to 28 October 2024. The humanitarian crisis in Haiti results from escalating insecurity, internal displacement, food shortages, and the breakdown of essential services. In Port-au-Prince, violence perpetrated by armed gangs, compounded by poverty and climate change, has led to a significant increase in internal displacement. The situation further deteriorated with additional displacement during violent attacks in February '24, leaving many residing in overcrowded camps in Port-au-Prince, where dire living conditions exacerbate the spread of diseases. The country has witnessed a staggering increase in internal displacement, with over 362,000 individuals forced to flee their homes due to the violence. Women, girls, and persons with disabilities are disproportionately affected by the crisis, facing heightened risks of exploitation, abuse, and violence. Furthermore, schools, which often serve as safe havens for children, are increasingly targeted for recruitment by gangs, exacerbating the risks faced by vulnerable youth. The situation poses a grave threat to children's safety and well-being, necessitating urgent intervention to ensure their protection. In Jacmel, the situation has generally been more stable, but that has led to a rapid surge in IDPs. The project supports unaccompanied and/or separated children to be reunited with their caregivers or in appropriate protective care arrangements. Family tracing and reunification process are initiated in collaboration with the local actors. Accredited temporary foster families will be supported to provide quality alternative care. In addition, Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) are established and managed to provide psychosocial support for well-being of crisis-affected and displaced children by trained CFS facilitators. CFS will also be used to provide information on how to prevent identified protection risks and to disseminate referral pathways. Also, Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children, children survivors of violence and abuse, are identified, registered, assessed, and referred (in PaP) or provided with direct case management services (in Jacmel). Based on needs, children are also provided with dignity kits. Besides, multipurpose cash is provided to 450 of the most vulnerable households identified through the protection activities, using a 1-time payment of 270 USD to support with basic needs. In Turgeau (PaP), the focus will be on enhancing the protective environment despite the continued threats to life, aiming to complement IRC/SV’s work on WASH, Health and SGBV prevention / response, while providing short-term relief through MPC. In Jacmel, LAPDEFF and Plan will also provide direct Case Management to support the government institution IBERS’ limited capacity there, and will work with IBERS to set up a Child Protection Working Group in Jacmel. The activities focus on Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children, and children survivors of violence and abuse. Children will be provided with services such as psychosocial support, or referred for health or legal support, along with dignity kits based on needs, Multipurpose cash activity targets 450 vulnerable households, with 80% being IDP and 20% host community members. Protection activities include psychological first aid (PFA) and recreational activities (through Child-Friendly Spaces, CFS), as well as case management (CM) and family tracing and reunification (FTR) in collaboration with IBESR (a government institution), but also provision of dignity kits and prevention activities, primarily through community-based mechanisms. The same activities will be implemented in Jacmel, but with a greater focus on community integration, as well as regaining a level of stability without familiar support networks, and building instead on Plan and LAPDEFF’s own ongoing interventions and pre-existing structures. The project focuses on reuniting unaccompanied and/or separated children with their caregivers or placing them in appropriate protective care settings. Furthermore, it aims to offer customized support to children tailored to their individual needs. 300 UASCs, children survivors of SGBV and other forms of violence and abuse, are identified, registered, assessed, and referred (PaP) or provided with direct case management services (Jacmel). Children will be provided with services such as psychosocial support or referred for health or legal support or MPC support. Case workers, 5 CPCs and IBESR will be capacitated to support this process. Based on needs, 100 children will be provided with dignity kits. In addition, family tracing and reunification process will be initiated for 80 Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children. 8 accredited temporary foster families will be supported to provide quality alternative care. Post-reunification follow-up visits will be conducted for reunified children. Besides, 1 mobile Child-Friendly Space (CFS) and 4 fixed CFS will be established and managed in PaP and Jacmel to provide PSS, including PFA, and group activities for child well-being to 3000 crisis-affected and displaced children by 25 trained CFS facilitators, under supervision of the CPIE officers. CFS will also be used to provide information on how to prevent identified CP risks, especially separation and gender-based violence and disseminate available referral pathways as well as to identify and refer children with protection concerns. Additionally, the initiative aims to improve the socio-economic well-being and resilience of a substantial number of beneficiaries through unconditional and unrestricted cash transfers. Multipurpose cash will target 450 of the most vulnerable households identified through the protection activities, using a 1-time payment of 75% of the MEB (270 USD), aligned with WV’s ACJR intervention and coordinated with the Cash Working Group as well as TF, who will use a different approach to cover different needs. The activity includes sensitization and conflict-sensitivity measures and will target 80% IDPs. It will be coupled with the standard elements described in the narrative, including the complaint and feedback mechanism, a direct monitoring survey to ensure the distribution is received well, and a Post Distribution Monitoring 1 to maximum 3 weeks later. In line with the needs, 350 HHs in Turgeau will receive MPC from CAPAC while 100 HHs in Jacmel will receive MPC from Plan Tearfund Plan International Netherlands Plan International Haiti Plan International Netherlands IATI contact iati@plannederland.nl Stadhouderskade 60 1072 AC AMSTERDAM Multisector aid Gender Equality Protection and Assistance in Emergencies (Disaster Risk Management) THRIVE - Protection 438648 38051 0 Plan International Netherlands 438648 Plan International Haiti 25000 Plan International Haiti 260125 Plan International Haiti -25000 Plan International Haiti -260125 Plan International Haiti 153523 Plan International Haiti 260125 Plan International Haiti 25000 Plan International Haiti 25000 Plan International Haiti 260125 Plan International Haiti -260125 Plan International Haiti -25000 Plan International Haiti -666 Plan International Haiti -9075 2194 -7500 5770 2607 1343 3792 1817 16575 2133 3476 Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection of which 7 with disability of which 8 with disability At the start of the project, IBESR determined that each identified Unaccompanied and Separated Child (UASC) should only be reunified once the reunification environment was confirmed safe, to prevent any risk of further harm. Identified children were placed in alternative care with foster families within the IDP sites. However, by project’s end, only 8 children (5 girls and 3 boys) were reunified by IBESR, supported by the project’s financial and material resources.

By providing creative, educational, and social development opportunities tailored to different age categories, from young children to adolescents, we created an inclusive environment that attracted substantial community involvement. Additionally, awareness-raising sessions for parents and displaced individuals, along with targeted support for vulnerable groups, such as teenage mothers and at-risk youth, reinforced the program’s reach and accessibility. This comprehensive approach resonated strongly within the community, encouraging families and individuals to actively participate and maximize the resources available to them. As a result, participation exceeded initial expectations, allowing us to achieve over 100% of our target reach. The combination of structured activities, parental engagement, and culturally relevant content made the program highly effective in meeting—and surpassing—its intended goals.

As a result, participation exceeded initial expectations, allowing us to achieve over 100% of our target reach. The combination of structured activities, parental engagement, and culturally relevant content made the program highly effective in meeting—and surpassing—its intended goals. humanitarian support: health Humanitarian support: WASH Humanitarian support: protection Humanitarian support: protection of which 15 has a disability of which 15 has a disability of which 1 has a disability The project was implemented across two IDP sites, which occasionally faced security issues, particularly at Lycée des Jeunes.

Funded by the EU Erasmus+ programme and developed in collaboration with partner vocational institutions - SECAP in Ecuador and Colombia Incluyente in Colombia and international technical partners - CINOP and Politeknika Txorierri- the project delivers market-relevant training, promotes youth employment, foster public-private partnerships and strengthens education systems through digital tools and cross-regional exchange. It also works to promote inclusion, gender equality, and climate resilience within the green labour market. By the end of 2026, 150 teachers and 200 young people are trained with green and gender-responsive education that raises awareness about climate change, encourages reflection on environmental impact, and introduces sustainable practices and green entrepreneur. In Ecuador and Colombia, youth—especially young women—face systemic barriers to accessing quality education and employment in the green economy. Ecuador’s SECAP lacks a green skills curriculum and expert staff, limiting its ability to contribute to national priorities for ecological transition. In Colombia, gender gaps, high youth unemployment (18.5%), and limited access to training persist, particularly in Barranquilla. Both countries struggle with informal employment and insufficient integration of sustainability in vocational education. These gaps hinder socioeconomic development and climate resilience, underscoring the need for inclusive, gender-transformative interventions that link VET systems to labour market demands and environmental priorities. If VET institutions in Ecuador and Colombia co-create and implement an Inclusive Green Skills Curriculum, then disadvantaged youth—especially young women—will gain market-relevant green skills, because the curriculum is informed by private sector input, adapted to local contexts, and supported by teacher capacity building. The project engages key actors (VET providers, private sector, civil society, youth) through participatory processes, strengthens institutional frameworks, and promotes gender equality and climate resilience. This leads to improved employability, enhanced institutional performance, and systemic change towards sustainable development. The project builds on previous initiatives such as the Green Life Skills Curriculum developed by CINOP and Plan International Netherlands, and leverages ongoing efforts like the MANGLAR Environmental Training School in Colombia and Eco-Entrepreneurship projects in Ecuador. It complements EU and national strategies for green transition, circular economy, and gender equality. By integrating lessons learned from consortium partners’ experience in curriculum development, private sector engagement, and youth empowerment, the project fills critical gaps in green skills training and institutional capacity. It introduces innovative methodologies, including design thinking and Train-the-Trainer models, ensuring sustainability and scalability. Children and youth aged 14–30, particularly girls from vulnerable backgrounds in Ecuador and Colombia, including those living in poverty, victims of conflict, LGTBIQ+, Afro-descendant and Indigenous communities, people with disabilities, and migrants. At least 60% of direct beneficiaries will be young women, ensuring gender-transformative impact. Work Package 1: Develop Inclusive Green Skills Curriculum Activities include conducting gender-sensitive market scans and needs analyses to identify green skills gaps, organizing design thinking workshops with stakeholders, and adapting the Green Life Skills Curriculum for SECAP and Colombia Incluyente. The curriculum will integrate modules on environmental sustainability, gender equality, and entrepreneurship. Prototyping and testing will involve 200 youth, ensuring relevance and inclusivity. Work Package 2: Capacity Building for VET Staff This package focuses on training 150 VET teachers through interactive sessions on gender equality, inclusive education, and innovative pedagogical methods. A Masterclass led by Txorierri will introduce EU best practices in environmental education, while Train-the-Trainer methodology ensures scalability. Teachers will gain skills to deliver the Inclusive Green Skills Curriculum effectively. Work Package 3: Strengthen Public-Private Partnerships Design thinking workshops will foster collaboration between VET institutions and private sector actors, aligning training with labour market needs. Launch events will promote the Inclusive Green Skills Curriculum, and strategies for internships, mentorships, and job placement platforms will be implemented to support youth employment in green sectors. Work Package 4: Knowledge Exchange and Dissemination This package promotes EU-LATAM collaboration through webinars, seminars, and dissemination of best practices. Activities include developing a knowledge exchange plan, producing communication materials (guidelines, videos, case studies), and leveraging networks for visibility. Resources will be made publicly available to ensure replication and sustainability. From a financial perspective, SECAP and Colombia Incluyente commit over 20% in-kind support, ensuring continuity beyond project end. Capacity building and curriculum integration guarantee lasting impact so local VET partners can apply the skills and knowledge learnt during the project. From an environmental perspective, activities prioritize climate resilience and low-carbon practices. Furthermore open-source e-learning platforms and Train-the-Trainer models enable scalability. Finally from a social point of view, inclusive beneficiary selection and gender-transformative approaches ensure continued benefits for vulnerable youth, especially girls. Materials will be publicly accessible for replication globally.

Previous cyclones (Chido in Dec 2024, Dikeledi in Jan 2025) caused massive destruction in Cabo Delgado and Nampula. Communities now face compounded challenges: depleted resources, weakened infrastructure, and unaddressed vulnerabilities. Response Plan: Plan and AENA will provide emergency assistance focusing on Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and protection mainstreaming. Target Areas: Mossuril and Ilha de Moçambique districts were affected by all three cyclones, with Jude causing the most recent damage. The selection was based on needs assessment and gaps identified through coordination with clusters and other DRA members. Plan and AENA are already active in all eligible districts. Mozambique faces a compounding humanitarian crisis following three consecutive tropical cyclones—Chido (Dec 2024), Dikeledi (Jan 2025), and most recently Jude—which have devastated communities in Mossuril and Ilha de Moçambique districts. In Ilha de Moçambique, 15,929 households have been affected with 7,586 houses partially damaged, while Mossuril district has seen destruction impacting 43,600 households. The successive disasters have created an emergency where communities struggle with depleted resources and weakened resilience. Critical infrastructure has been compromised: 85 schools are non-functional, agricultural land in Ilha de Moçambique and in Mossuril were flooded, and water systems have been extensively damaged. The recent MIRA identified food as the primary need, while water and sanitation issues pose serious public health risks. The root causes extend beyond the cyclones to include pre-existing vulnerabilities, limited household resilience after previous disasters, inadequate disaster preparedness, and insufficient local response capacity. Without addressing both immediate needs and underlying weaknesses, affected communities face prolonged recovery challenges and heightened vulnerability to future climate shocks. The activity builds on Plan and AENA’s ongoing humanitarian work in Mossuril and Ilha de Moçambique, where both organizations have been operational through multiple crises, including the impacts of three cyclones. It leverages findings from their recent assessments and contributions to the joint Multi-Cluster Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA). Coordination with clusters and DRA members ensured the activity responds to the most urgent, unmet needs. Other active organizations include WFP, which provided flood impact analysis informing agricultural loss data, and local health and WASH actors addressing immediate post-cyclone needs. However, significant gaps remain in sustained FSL and WASH support with integrated protection. The proposed activity fills a critical gap by combining lifesaving food and water interventions with a longer-term approach to food security and public health resilience, particularly where damage to infrastructure and livelihoods has outpaced the capacity of ongoing responses. The project targets 15.000 affected people. End beneficiaries are vulnerable children and youth, especially girls, in cyclone-affected households. Priority groups include female-headed households, PLWs, CwDs, and families at risk of CEFM, child labour, or SGBV. The project expects to reach more women than men due to gendered vulnerabilities. The activity will deliver a rapid, lifesaving Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) response with protection mainstreaming, targeting the most affected and vulnerable communities in Mossuril and Ilha de Moçambique. These districts were selected based on joint needs assessments, including the MIRA, consultations with DRA partners and clusters, and Plan and AENA’s operational presence and contextual understanding. Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL): - Plan and AENA will support 15,000 individuals (approx. 3,000 households) with basic food assistance using a voucher modality. Each household will receive monthly vouchers valued at 5,880 MZN for three months, in line with FSL Cluster guidance. This approach ensures flexibility, dignity, and a boost to local markets. - In parallel, the project will support the restoration of agricultural livelihoods for the most vulnerable households, particularly those that lost crops due to the cyclones. This will be done through the distribution of agricultural input kits (seeds and tools) and targeted agricultural training to enhance resilience and reduce long-term food assistance dependency. WASH Interventions: In response to the damage to water and sanitation infrastructure and the increased risk of waterborne diseases, the project will: - Rehabilitate 10 community water points to restore access to safe water. - Construct or rehabilitate sanitation facilities in 10 cyclone-affected schools to promote safe learning environments. - Distribute hygiene and dignity kits to all 15,000 beneficiaries, prioritizing girls and women. - Provide community-based trainings on hygiene promotion and shallow well maintenance/rehabilitation to increase local capacity for managing water needs. Protection Mainstreaming: Protection will be fully integrated across all activities. This includes: - Conducting community sensitization during distributions to raise awareness on issues such as child protection, safeguarding, and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). - A protection mapping exercise, coordinated with the Protection Cluster, will identify service providers and enable timely referrals for specialized support, particularly to DRA partners Oxfam and Kulima. Special attention will be paid to high-risk groups such as adolescent girls, female-headed households, and children with disabilities. Community Participation and Capacity Strengthening: The response follows a community-based approach that prioritizes participation, accountability, and local ownership. Community members will be involved in activity planning, targeting, and implementation processes. Trainings and local engagement will build longer-term capacities, especially in WASH and agriculture, to reduce reliance on external aid. Implementation Roles and Localisation: While Plan Mozambique will oversee overall project management, reporting, and Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, and Learning (MERL), local partner AENA will be responsible for day-to-day implementation at the community level. AENA will receive 75% of the project budget, including 6% for institutional cost recovery (ICR), and lead the delivery of food assistance, WASH activities, and local coordination. Plan will ensure quality, compliance, and capacity strengthening, with a dedicated team embedded in the implementation zones to work closely with AENA on thematic areas such as the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS), International Humanitarian Law (IHL), safeguarding, prevention of sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse (PSHEA), and accountability to affected populations (AAP). This will position AENA to access and manage donor funding more independently in the future. Coordination and Complementarity: Plan and AENA have coordinated closely with other DRA partners and humanitarian actors to avoid duplication and ensure complementarity. This includes alignment with WFP for data on agricultural losses, and coordination with Oxfam and Kulima, particularly around protection. The action was designed jointly with AENA in the lead on activity selection, guided by Plan’s technical inputs and based on continuous coordination with relevant clusters. In essence, this activity combines immediate, concrete humanitarian relief with the groundwork for greater community resilience and stronger local actor leadership. The food, water, sanitation, and protection components will not only save lives in the short term, but also mitigate the impact of future shocks.

Parenting programmes have been implemented to bolster gender-transformative thinking and psychosocial support. FSBS-2 will establish an evidence-based strategy to assure adequate interventions, Evidence that has been derived from FSBS-1 project, will be utilized to reinforce and shape the future activities as well. For example, the FSBS-2 project will utilize the male engagement findings to provide suggestions for exploring new techniques to execute the various interventions around male engagement, as well as to use the findings at policy level to establish policy that supports men in engaging with their children. XX check XX Jordan continues to face significant challenges in delivering equitable and high-quality Early Childhood Development (ECD) services, particularly for children and caregivers from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While recent efforts have led to some progress, many families in underserved areas—especially in the southern governorates—still lack access to essential health, education, and developmental support. Persistent regional instability and an overstretched public healthcare system have further disrupted consistent service delivery. This has resulted in missed opportunities for early detection of developmental issues, timely interventions, and meaningful parental engagement. These gaps disproportionately affect mothers, limiting their ability to participate in the labor market, pursue education, and advance socially and professionally. As a result, households face increased economic pressure, reinforcing gender inequities and marginalize women from an inclusive participation in decision-making processes. This project will strengthen the MoH’s capacity to deliver accessible, high-quality, and standardized ECD services. This includes expanding infrastructure, training health practitioners, and fostering collaborations with key partners. By doing so, the project seeks to ensure early developmental support reaches children in the most disadvantaged communities, reducing disparities, promoting inclusive growth, and laying a foundation for a healthier, more equitable future for Jordan’s children. The primary objective of this investment is to institutionalize inclusive, high-quality ECD services within Jordan’s health system by strengthening MoH’s capacity, expanding sustainable parenting programs, and enhancing national coordination mechanisms. FSBS-3 aims to scale up gender-responsive, evidence-based ECD interventions, embed them in national policies and professional development frameworks, and establish public-private partnerships for long-term sustainability. Through strengthened service delivery, digital innovation, and policy advocacy, the project will ensure that all children, including those with disabilities, receive nurturing care and developmental support from birth, particularly in underserved regions. Implementing partners: -PLAN INTERNATIONAL JORDAN (PIJO) role: Coordination between partners/stakeholders, partners’ capacity strengthening, advocating for ECD as a national priority with other stakeholders, bringing in regional/ global ECD knowledge and experience, Project management, PMEL, quality assurance throughout the project implementation; Child Safeguarding and Gender Equality. -ROYAL HEALTH AWARENESS SOCIETY (RHAS) role: Conduct parenting training program for 45 MoH core team members by delivering inclusive parenting content to health workers and parents, rolling out inclusive parenting training delivery, strengthening referral pathways, coordinating with other service providers/partners on parenting and working with MoH on institutionalized mechanisms to promote ECD. Key Stakeholders: -Ministry of Health (MoH) role: taking ownership of the project and build their staff’s capacity on ECD through focal points, facilitating coordination with stakeholders and staff, supervising and delivering parenting sessions, quality control of facilitators’ performance, community awareness. Furthermore, MoH will work with FSBS-3 partners on institutionalizing ECD within MoH policies, budgets, programmes and developing and endorsing ECD standards. -THE HEALTH CARE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL (HCAC) role: executing the FSBS-2 developed ECD standards and establish a National Recognition System, delivering initial quality assessments, mock surveys and final evaluations at selected MoH centres, awarding accreditation to health centres fulfilling the required quality standards; capacity building of health workers; providing consultation services to support change; supporting government in realizing their potential to steer healthcare improvement; enhancing performance related to governance, standards, accreditation, and capacity building; providing policy reform advice and enhancing engagement and awareness. - National Center for Family Affairs: provide technical support to the ECD national committee and the consortium members. The proposed consortium is a trusted and experienced partnership between Plan International Jordan, RHAS, HCAC, MoH, NCFA), Their combined experience provides a solid foundation for delivering the project objectives efficiently and at scale Parents Children Girls and Boys (aged between 3-5) Staff of the Ministry of Family and Social Affairs Key activities include expanding services to 20 new health centers, especially in underserved areas, and providing technical support to sustain previous initiatives. The project will train 45 new trainers and community health practitioners in parenting programs, emphasizing gender equality and male engagement, as well as training 40 MoH staff to deliver these programs in targeted health centers. To support program expansion, three out of the participating centers will be selected to facilitate training integration into MoH professional development and will be recognized as Centers of Excellence. These selected Centers of Excellence are expected to play a key role in scaling up the parenting empowerment program. Their functions will include aligning program implementation with HCAC quality standards, promoting inclusive practices, and enhancing the program’s sustainability. These centers will also serve as hubs for capacity building by implementing twinning and shadowing arrangements with at least two additional health centers. To effectively fulfill this role, the centers will require investment in qualified staff, continuous training, and adequate infrastructure and resources. Standardization and Quality Recognition System of ECD services will be implemented in selected centers, complemented by strengthened community outreach via mobile apps, social media, and local activities. Public-private partnerships will be fostered to fund and promote ECD initiatives, while advocacy efforts will leverage the recent social behavior change study findings to promote robust ECD policies within the health system.

It aims to provide most vulnerable families with food parcels, hygiene kits, and dignity kits, ensuring their basic needs are met for one month. Additionally, the project will deliver crucial mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions for children affected by the conflict, addressing the rising cases of child malnutrition and psychological distress. The Gaza Emergency Relief program addresses the acute humanitarian needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Gaza Strip. Recent assessments indicate that approximately 1.9 million people—90% of the population—have been displaced due to ongoing hostilities. IDP families, particularly in the Middle and Southern regions, are enduring severe shortages of food, hygiene supplies, and essential mental health services. 345,000 people are facing catastrophic food insecurity (IPC) and more than 1 million children are in need of MHPSS (UNICEF). The WASH Cluster notes scarcity and unaffordability of basic hygiene products, including menstrual hygiene items, have compromised personal hygiene and dignity. In response to these critical gaps, the program aims to provide 1,250 families with food parcels, hygiene kits, and dignity kits, ensuring their basic needs are met for one month. Additionally, the project will deliver crucial mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions for children affected by the conflict, addressing the rising cases of child malnutrition and psychological distress. The intervention logic addresses urgent and multi-faceted needs of IDPs in the Middle and South areas of Gaza as identified in the RNAs: FSL, WASH and Protection, through a targeted and evidence-based approach. The program, designed and implemented in partnership with Taawon Welfare Association, focuses on provision of food parcels, hygiene kits, dignity kits, and psychosocial support (MHPSS) to provide life-saving support to the most impacted population. The intervention responds to the findings of recent assessments that highlight severe shortages in food, hygiene supplies, and mental health services. The planned activities are interlinked to provide a holistic response for 1,250 families (7,450 individuals): food assistance will help alleviate hunger and malnutrition, while hygiene and dignity kits will support safe and healthy living conditions, particularly for women and girls. Meanwhile, MHPSS services will address the severe psychological distress faced by children (1,832 individuals), enhancing their coping mechanisms and resilience. The project will use partnership-based delivery, leveraging Taawon's expertise and local presence for efficient and contextually appropriate aid distribution. Taawon participates in cluster meetings and works closely with communities. Project design is based on their needs assessments and community consultation. A community-centred approach prioritises the most vulnerable IDPs, particularly women, children, and individuals with disabilities. Beneficiary identification will be conducted with stakeholders to ensure the project responds to the needs of most vulnerable population. Procurement will follow established policies to ensure quality, timely delivery. Taawon's market analysis has identified vendors in line with Taawon and Plan's policies and procedures. Distribution will take place through 6 weeks at IDP shelters and host communities, with trained staff ensuring an orderly, dignified, and transparent process. Plan has a partnership agreement with Taawon, and has implemented life-saving projects in Gaza. Plan will monitor implementation via reports, photos, beneficiaries feedback and financial monitoring. Robust monitoring and accountability mechanisms include beneficiary feedback and cluster coordination. Regular reporting and documentation will ensure transparency and compliance with humanitarian standards, enhancing efficiency and impact. Coordination with JR members and partners has and will take place via bilateral meetings and working group participation. The project will prioritize vulnerable groups impacted by the crisis including female and child headed households, separated and unaccompanied children, women, children and adolescents with special needs, women, children and adolescents at risk of abuse, exploitation and GBV, IDPs, and host communities.

The specific objective is to facilitate strengthened systems and frameworks which promote safe and equitable engagement of Thai children and youth in online spaces, in 5 provinces in Thailand. This ambition brings together children and youth, civil society, government authorities and the private sector to address a common goal that impacts society and the future of Thailand’s new generation. It supports Thailand’s governance and development process, respecting human rights and democratic principles, with a view to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In order to achieve these objectives, the Action brings together diverse stakeholders to develop a dynamic, participatory approach enabling children and youth to thrive in a rapidly changing virtual environment. The project addresses urgent and growing risks faced by children and youth in Thailand due to increased internet use. While 85% of young people use social media daily and 81% own a smartphone or tablet, this digital access exposes them to significant harm. Alarming statistics reveal that: - Up to 69% have experienced cyberbullying; - 11% have faced online sexual harassment; - 36% have been targeted by online grooming, with even higher rates among girls (41%) and LGBTIQ youth (50%); - 9% of internet-using children aged 12–17 were victims of severe online sexual exploitation in the past year. Children also report negative impacts on family life and school performance due to excessive screen time (35+ hours/week). Exposure to harmful content is widespread—60% of pornography seen by children is child sexual abuse material. Thailand ranks 6th globally in hosting such content. Cultural norms and victim-blaming further discourage reporting: up to 31% of victims do not disclose abuse, often due to lack of awareness or fear of stigma. Girls and young women are disproportionately affected, and boys also face harmful gender expectations. These trends highlight the urgent need for targeted, gender-sensitive interventions to protect children online and offline. The Action capitalizes on a strongly-expressed and urgent need in Thailand to protect children and youth in all of their diversity from online threats and abuse while increasing their digital literacy and resilience when accessing the internet and social media. To achieve this, we propose a mutually-reinforcing intervention logic. The supporting outcomes lay the foundations of the specific and ultimately the overall objective through facilitating the implementation of a gender-responsive and age-appropriate national curriculum for online safety (01+2), empowering children and youth to claim their rights safely and positively (03), and ensuring duty bearers possess knowledge, take action and are accountable for actions needed to actualise a safe online environment that supports the protection of Thailand’s children and youth from all backgrounds and intersectional vulnerabilities (04). While 01, 02 and 03 are focused on strengthening rights holders’ capacities to know about, claim and enjoy their rights, 01 and 03 are focused on addressing capacity caps of duty bearers in terms of respecting, protecting and realising the rights of children, and on reinforcing their transparency and accountability. Activities under 01 and 02 focus on bringing together key and diverse stakeholders, developing and piloting a hybrid curriculum, and facilitating the adoption of this curriculum nationwide. Activities under 03 focus on peer education, youth-designed and -led advocacy action, meaningful child and youth engagement with duty bearers, and public awareness raising. Activities under 04 focus on engaging duty bearers at all levels (from caregivers, to law enforcement, to local/national governance), facilitating implementation and socialisation of existing legislation, and working with private sector stakeholders towards child protection aims. To mitigate the safeguarding risks of children and young people, the action will strictly observe protection and safeguarding protocols and the “Do no harm” principle in all levels of child and youth engagement. The risk of limited participation of rights holders and/or duty bearers will be mitigated through their meaningful inciusion in the design, implementation and management of the Action. We assume that all stakeholders will be willing and able to participate to the extent indicated in prior consultations Plan International (“Plan”) has been working to advance children’s rights and empower girls in Asia for 74 years, and in Thailand for 41 years. Internet Foundation for Development of Thailand (“IFDT”) is a locally registered foundation established in Thailand working to educate rights holders and duty bearers about safe internet use for children and young persons for over 20 years. Both applicants have extensive experience working with online child and youth protection in close collaboration with civil society networks, government authorities in Thailand as well as ASEAN children and youth forums. This Action has emerged from research and consultations with children, youth, and civil society groups that have a common vision of online safety for Thailand’s new generation and utilizing the vast potential of the internet for their positive development and knowledge. Plan and IFDT worked with the CRC Thailand in drafting Universal Periodic Review (UPR) recommendations for the Royal Thai Government (RTG) which featured online safety as its priority concern. In 2023, the Thailand Safe Internet Coalition (TSIC), together with IFDT, successfully persuaded the RTG cabinet to establish the annual “Internet Safer Day” which will be celebrated for the first time in Thailand in 2024. IFDT has also succeeded in proposing amendments to the criminal law to cover new online threats such as child online grooming, sexting, sextortion, cyber stalking and cyber bullying. It has been approved in principle by the Thai cabinet. IFDT is now working with the Ministry of Justice to implement a step-by-step amendment to the law. Though these developments have been quite positive, there remains a huge gap in bringing comprehensive awareness of internet safety issues and digital literacy to Thailand’s children and youth at the scale necessary to protect from being harmed through online abuse. To date, despite efforts from many CSOs, children and youth in all of their diversity, the Ministry of Education does not yet have a standardized curriculum and approach to face these rapidly evolving online challenges, leaving Thailand’s youth vulnerable without the skills to protect themselves online and digital literacy to navigate the virtual world. The Action directly targets both rights holders and duty bearers in Thailand, including 30,000 children, 600 children and youth council members, 600 teachers, 1,500 parents/caregivers, 1,600 duty bearers (social workers, law enforcement), 5 private sector/tech companies, 42 CRC Thailand member organisations, and representatives from key government ministries. Rights holders will be supported to better understand their protection rights and risk behaviours and will become empowered to claim those rights and to act in support of online safety. Duty bearers will work with rights holders to contribute towards preventing and responding to online risks for children, in support of a protective and enabling environment in Thailand that is in line with the government's commitments to online safety and child protection 01: Strengthened capacities and engagement opportunities of central and local duty-bearers (MoE, MSDHS, MDES and provincial branches) and right-holder representatives (CSOs, children and Youth Councils,) to jointly design gender responsive, age-appropriate online safely and digital literacy curriculums • Establishment of Provincial Working Groups in 5 selected provinces in Thailand to oversee and support Action activities for developing and piloting curriculum packages, including awareness seminars about online safety; • Sign tripartite MoU for collaboration and cooperation with MoE, MSDHS, MDES; 02: Strengthened capacities of MoE teachers and Thai Children and Youth Council members to teach online safety and digital literacy in 5 targeted provinces. • Development of national hybrid e-learning and face to face curriculum platform customized for parents, teachers and students that enables children and youth (CAYs) to utilize internet and social media positively for their full development; • Through participatory approach involving students (particularly girls and young women), teachers and parents, pilot curriculums in schools to learn, refine and test to build solid evidence base for MoE, and MSDHS’s Thailand Children and Youth Councils to adopt standard curriculum packages; • 15 Trainings of Trainers (ToTs) (Face to face) of public school teachers in 5 target provinces in Thailand for piloting online safety and digital 1 literacy curriculum including gender transformative approach and guidance on how to interview students about internet use or abuse, use digital technology safely and positively coupled with fun learning activities. Successive rounds of ToT’s build on previous ones based on refinements and reflections from piloted curriculum material; • 15 ToTs (Face to face) of Thailand Children and Youth Council members in 5 target provinces in Thailand for piloting online safety and digital literacy curriculum including gender transformative approach, safe Intemet and human-rights based approach. Successive rounds of ToT’s build on previous ones based on refinements and reflections from piloted curriculum material; • MoE & MSDHS curriculum integration planning and budgeting. 03: Strengthened capacities and opportunities ofgirls and boys andfemale technical Level: The project focuses on capacity-building through tailored curricula for children, caregivers, and duty bearers. These materials equip participants with knowledge and skills to prevent and respond to online safety risks. Girls, in particular, gain agency and leadership skills to advocate for safer digital environments. Caregivers and institutions (e.g. schools, social workers, government, private sector) are trained to create a stronger protective ecosystem. Collaboration is strengthened through existing and new structures, supported by intergenerational and intersectional dialogue. Economic Level: Youth camps and Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) activities provide children and youth with practical skills in fundraising, advocacy, ICT, and financial management. These capabilities help them access government funding in the short term and improve future employment prospects. Social Level: The Action fosters a safe and inclusive environment by promoting collaboration among civil society, public and private actors. Intergenerational dialogue ensures diverse voices are heard. By empowering youth—especially girls—to lead advocacy, the project enhances resilience, rights awareness, and long-term social change through a gender-transformative approach. Policy Level: The project advocates for institutional adoption of the curricula by the Ministry of Education and the Department of Children and Youth. Youth-led advocacy also targets national and regional policy improvements on online safety, including legal reforms and ASEAN-level engagement.

Disadvantaged girls and young women in particular are in a vulnerable position. At the same time, there is a high demand for motivated personnel in the growing tourism industry. To bridge this gap and empower young people, Plan International has established the TUI Academy in collaboration with the TUI Care Foundation. The program provides a holistic training package combining life skills, vocational training and an internship. Youth are educated on (risk of) sexual exploitation, financial support, and their rights. Plan engages businesses and communities to ensure decent work, protection, and inclusive employment in tourism. The project targets disadvantaged youth in Phuket and Phang Nga—particularly young women from ethnic minorities, school dropouts, teenage mothers, and those from low-income backgrounds—who are often excluded from education and employment. Thailand faces a significant challenge with youth unemployment and approximately 1.4 million youth aged 15–24 (15%) are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). The NEET rate has steadily risen, from 14.4% in 2016 to 15.2% in 2021, with projections indicating a further increase. Girls are more vulnerable, being twice as likely to be NEET, due to social norms that assign women caregiving roles and early motherhood that hinders them to continue or return to education. Phuket and Phang Nga have a notably high proportion of NEET youth. These provinces continue to face issues such as school dropout rates and rising teenage pregnancies. These factors are key underlying causes of the high NEET rate of these provinces. Despite the high proportion of NEET youth and youth unemployment, both provinces face severe labor shortages, particularly in the hospitality and food service sectors, which account for 32.76% of employment in Phuket. In Q2 2023, despite 904 job vacancies for youth in Phuket, only 33 placements were made (3.7%). Phang Nga struggles with a lack of qualified workers in the hospitality and retail sectors. This labor market mismatch is driven by several factors, including education gaps, limited skills, and lack of awareness of job opportunities. This project aims to enhance economic resilience among marginalized youth by equipping them with the confidence, knowledge, and skills necessary to secure meaningful employment in the tourism and hospitality industry, a sector contributing significantly to the gross provincial product in Phuket and Phang Nga and projected to grow further. The program will provide a holistic pre-employment training package, covering life skills, vocational expertise, employability techniques, and additional competencies like English and digital literacy. The project empowers youth with CSEC education, financial support, and internships, while engaging businesses and communities to ensure decent work, protection, and inclusive employment in tourism. From 2022-2025, Plan International implemented the TUI Academy Thailand Project (funded by RVO/FBK), in cooperation with TUI Care Foundation, ECPAT, and Robinson Club Khao Lak to support disadvantaged youth in tourism and hospitality in Phuket and Phang Nga. In Phase 1, 236 youth enrolled; 154 completed training and internships, and 109 secured decent jobs within six months. Life skills, English, and vocational training were provided, along with internships in roles such as F&B, housekeeping, and front office. Partnerships with 23 businesses and MoUs with four government agencies ensured high-quality training and sustainability. Key success factors included strong public-private collaboration, mentoring, and active community engagement, which boosted youth confidence and reduced dropout. Employers confirmed that graduates demonstrated greater workplace readiness and adaptability, aligning well with industry needs. This was echoed by the youth, trainers and family, who cited improved communication, self-confidence, and problem-solving skills. 160 disadvantaged youth age 17-24 (60% women, 40% men and diverse genders). Outcome 1: Increased Access to Dual Vocational Training for Young People • Stakeholder Engagement Meeting Stakeholders will be engaged through orientation sessions at the project's inception, to ensure understanding of the project’s goals and roles. Regular meetings will review progress and adjust implementation plans. Toward the project’s conclusion, sustainability discussions will facilitate a smooth transition to partners, ensuring the project's impact beyond completion. • Market scan A workshop will review labor market data and identify trends in the tourism and hospitality industry. This scan will guide the development of market-responsive training courses and help select appropriate training institutes. • Training Curriculum Adjustment Curricula will be reviewed and updated to align with industry demands, including green skills and gender equality. Life skills training will address specific challenges like sexual harassment and abuse, with resources from TUI e-academy and Plan International’s curricula. The adjusted curricula will be user-friendly for stakeholders. • Participant Recruitment The project will partner with local government agencies to promote the initiative and recruit youth. Participants will take aptitude tests and engage in discussions on gender equality. Success stories from previous participants will encourage engagement, particularly from parents and communities. • Pre-Employment Training Youth will receive comprehensive training in life skills, vocational skills, financial literacy, and gender equality. Courses will address market demands in the tourism sector, including green skills, and employability skills. Three months of training. • Provision of Internships Internships will be arranged with hospitality businesses, with participants receiving stipends and basic amenities. Businesses will be trained on gender equality, labor rights, and providing a supportive internship experience. Youth will report their progress through intern reports, and businesses will issue completion certificates. Three months of internship. • Graduation Ceremony and Career Connection The graduation ceremony will celebrate youth achievements and connect graduates with potential employers, serving as networking opportunity and showcasing the participants' skills to employers and increasing the chances of employment. Outcome 2: Increased Support Services for Vulnerable Students and Their Families • Community Outreach Community engagement will focus on changing gender norms and promoting inclusion, particularly for young women and people with disabilities. Success stories from graduates will help build confidence and inspire participation • Provision and Facilitation of Comprehensive Welfare Support The project will offer allowances for transportation, accommodation, and meals, along with accident insurance for participants. It will also provide counseling services to address personal challenges and connect participants with appropriate support agencies. Case management will ensure participants receive continuous support, including childcare, shelter, and legal assistance, helping them transition into employment successfully. Outcome 3: Increased Employment of Young People in Tourism Destinations • Employer Engagement Strategy Employers will be engaged early to build partnerships and secure their commitment to providing employment opportunities. • Training on Decent Work and Fundamental Labor Rights Employers will be trained on creating supportive and safe work environments, focusing on labor laws, gender equality, and the inclusion of marginalized groups. The training will ensure employers respect fundamental labor rights, creating a safe environment for youth. • Internship and Employment Counseling and Mentoring Youth will receive ongoing mentorship and counseling throughout their internships and employment. This will include strategic job matching and continued guidance to ensure career success and growth. • Company Visits Regular visits to businesses offering internships or employment will gather feedback to improve support mechanisms and strengthen employer-youth relationships ensuring successful employment access and retention for youth. Financial: The project collaborates with partners in education and tourism to establish a robust network that champions youth economic empowerment. By partnering with government agencies specializing in vocational training, we lobby for updating existing curricula to address the specific needs of marginalized youth. We seek their commitment to integrate our proven interventions into their strategic work plans, ensuring long-term support for disadvantaged youth for gaining decent employment. In Phase 1, the life skills curriculum was integrated into partner educational institutions. In this phase, we aim to include green skills, sexual education, and employability skills. Building on successful government partnerships, we strengthen existing ties and engage new stakeholders to support job placement and address challenges such as seasonal employment. Youth will gain lifelong skills. These benefits extend beyond the project. Socially: We will develop an internal alumni database, so we can connect alumni with current participants to provide peer support mentorship. Led by volunteer alumni ambassadors, this network promotes sustainability and long-term impact.

It will deliver live-saving child protection services and safe access to education for South Sudanese refugee girls and boys in the Gambella and Benishanguel Gumuz regions. The action will provide live-saving preventative, responsive, age and gender appropriate protection services and psychosocial support. Mainly through capacity building, community-based child protection mechanisms as well as psychosocial support services. The action will also improve and provide access to safe, quality and inclusive primary education for refugee children. This will be achieved through the construction and rehabilitation of learning spaces, teacher training and mainstreaming protection, PSS and MHM in the education sector. The project is gender, disability and age responsive and has focuses on adolescent girls, children with a disability, unaccompanied and separated children and other vulnerable children. The proposed action will provide life-saving protection and education services targeting the most vulnerable South Sudanese refugee boys and girls, including adolescents as well as their families by increasing their protection and wellbeing, as well as their access to safe, quality and inclusive primary education, in a protective child friendly safe and secure environment. Protection of vulnerable and at-risk Children and youth, especially UASC: This action will strengthen CP mechanisms and promote safer environments by reducing risk and strengthening response and resilience. PIE will rehabilitate, manage and improve Child Friendly Spaces (CFS). Social workers (40% female) will run CFS structured activities, psychosocial support and case management. They will be trained on gender-sensitive approaches, safeguarding, the management of CFS, including ensuring that children in the child friendly spaces are safe, engaged in age, gender, disability and culturally appropriate and sensitive activities including life skills. They will be trained as well on case management, identification of UASC and other vulnerable children, as well as on referral mechanisms, SOPs and alternative care. Case workers will closely work with Child Protection Committees (CPC) for case management, including ensuring coordination with CPC, care givers and other community structures to create a safe and child friendly environment. (Foster) parents and care givers will be trained on positive parenting skills, child care and development, and gender equality to improve the quality of (foster) parents. PIE will facilitate training for social workers on how to identify children in need of psychosocial support and on psychosocial first aid, using the IDEAL model, which focuses on contextualizing psychosocial support to the local context and ensuring cultural and gender appropriateness. Community based child protection structures will be supported to identify and support vulnerable children and along with child based protection committees, zonal leaders, and community-based forums for children (including child-led clubs). Child Protection Committees (CPCs) play a critical role in promoting, identifying and helping to ensure the protection of children outside formal services. SRH/SGBV clubs will be set up to educate youth, both male and female, about SRHR, gender related issues and inform them about their rights. Sports, Peaceful co-existence, and art clubs will be available. Youth facilitators together with trained refugee adolescent and youth will cascade skills and knowledge through peer education, life skills sessions, community conversation sessions. The training and support will be based on PIE Champions of Change methodology to promote gender equality and social norm change, and PIE Life Skills curriculum. Education: PIE will increase access to qualitative primary education in safe, inclusive conducive learning environments through formal school and learning spaces. ARRA education curriculum will be taught in a conflict-sensitive manner that aims to mitigate tensions, build resilience and work with all communities to improve peaceful coexistence and understanding. This will be achieved by providing teaching and learning materials, by rehabilitating or constructing disability friendly classrooms and sex-segregated latrines with water points and fences; and by recruiting, training and providing on-the-job coaching to teachers, assistant teachers, according to the curriculum set by ARRA as well as the basic child protection SOPs and in accordance to the Gender-responsive pedagogy approach. Parents and the general community will be targeted through community sensitization, awareness raising campaigns, back to school events, and parent’s meetings to educate them on the need for and importance of girls' education. Recognizing that decision-making about schooling is primarily carried out by fathers, specific emphasis will be made to target fathers in promoting girls' education and enrolment during all awareness raising, registration campaigns and events. PIE will support schools to maintain conducive learning environments especially for female students by ensuring safe and hygienic sanitation facilities and support girls with (menstrual) hygiene kits, and provide health and hygiene talks throughout clubs. Girls will be engaged in discussions at school on issues that affect their education and how they have to overcome these challenges. The project strengthens school structures such as Parent Teachers Associations (PTAs), Centre Management Committees (CMCs), school-based feedback, complaints and school-based referral mechanisms. The main target group for child protection activities are unaccompanied, separated or otherwise vulnerable children, or at risk of being separated or unaccompanied, whereby: -Separated children are those separated from both parents/ from their previous legal or customary primary care-giver/ other adult family members. - Unaccompanied children: separated from both parents/relatives. - Other vulnerable children: children with (physical and cognitive) needs or in need of support because of abuse, or other vulnerabilities. - Children at risk of separation from their family/ foster care in case of emergency or voluntary repatriation to South Sudan, leaving the child behind; The case management system follows inter-agency SOPs developed by the CPWG to categorize the above-mentioned children into low, medium and high vulnerability based on BIA and BIDs. The EiE component targets children and adolescents between 7 and 20 years, who are enrolled in primary education, at risk of dropping out of school and out of school. The focus is on girls as they are mostly out of school or at risk of dropping out. Other direct beneficiaries: (foster) parents, and caregivers responsible for UASC and other vulnerable children; key stakeholders as community groups, child protection structures, service providers, Ministry of Education and social welfare, teachers, mothers in school, education partners and incentive workers.
