1.1 expect PRATEC PeruPRATEC has been working closely with the local population in northern Peru. Training, education material and projects for indigenous

farmers and school children. They have developed a website with extensive online information available for the target group. 2015 was

the final year of collaboration between PRATEC and SSNC.

1.2 expect ISD Ethiopia Re-visiting farmers in the target group, increased diversification is apparent at grass-root level. Also political/gov’t civil servants express

more interest in diversification.

“New” position in MoA in charge of ecological agriculture.

Over the 3 years (2013-2015), beneficiary farmers have acquired knowledge and skills through different trainings, experience sharing and

farmer-to-farmers learning meetings. Ecological organic vegetable production is well established. Farmers now have market outlets. The

farmers also very well understand what it takes for them to be in a Participatory Guarantee System (PGS). They start to see their next

steps like working on producing their own organic vegetable seeds.

Sub-program Agriculture

Vision

The sub-programme's vision is an agriculture highly based on ecologic and organic principles; providing the population with a sufficient supply of nutritious food. The ecological organic agriculture, EOA, based on agro-ecological principles increases gradually,

leading to a varied diet through diversified production. Improved production methods based on local resources and ecosystem services, in which agrodiversity makes agriculture more climate resilient, have rendered a production surplus which can be sold on the

market. The surplus provides income and improved livelihood opportunities for the stakeholders. Positive results, both economic and health-wise, contribute to the knowledge about ecological organic agriculture spreads as well as that of its production methods.

The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation's partners function as catalysts in this development at local, regional and global level.

With regard to consumption, by the end of the programme period, civil society movements in selected countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia are strong players in empowering consumers to act in support of sustainable development. Decision-makers in the

same countries have started to recognise consumer rights and make policy changes that facilitate sustainable consumption and livelihood changes. Policy changes and collaborative community initiatives give marginalised people increased access to safe and

equitable goods and services that promote a transformation to sustainable societies.

Mission

Support and cooperation with organisations and networks within the environment and agriculture sectors that work for an ecological organic agriculture based on ecological principles. The notion of Rights - e.g. access to a good environment, quality food and

knowledge - is a cornerstone for the sub-programme, as is the partners' work on raising producers', consumers' and decision-makers' awareness on the importance of promoting a more sustainable and ecological organic agriculture. A lot of focus is dedicated to

the raising the stakeholders' knowledge on how to manage ecological organic agriculture and on its benefits from a sustainability perspective. Amongst themselves, partners work on improving dialogue, research, advisory and tertiary education which leads to a

higher level of knowledge for the involved parties coupled with improved conditions for an up-scaling of the sector. Advocacy on all levels, local to international, is imperative to achieve the vision. The sub-programme with highlight the role of women and youth in

the advance of ecological organic agriculture.

On a consumption level, the mission is to support and collaborate with civil society movements in selected countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia that contribute to increase knowledge and community-based experiences on the role of consumers in sustainable

development and mobilize consumers and local communities around these issues by forming social alliances, raising public awareness and putting pressure on decision-makers to effect change at national, regional and global policy level.

Prioritized area 1:

Objective

Ecological organic agriculture with more efficient and higher yield/production

The objective of the area is to develop a more sustainable ecological organic agriculture, EOA, for increased food security (sufficient nutrition) based on local resources and ecosystem services. The objective is also to produce a surplus which can be sold on a

market as an income-generating activity to improve livelihoods for small scale farmer households. At the end of the programme the production methods have improved, the yields have increased as has the area dedicated to EOA. Ecological organic production has

achieved an acknowledgement as a tool for poverty reduction and contributes to improved food security in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Overall, the prioritised area aims at an agriculture sector more resilient to climate change and that serves as a carbon sink to decrease the atmosphere's greenhouse gases as well as a maintained and developed agrodiversity.

Knowledge Increased knowledge on climate resilience methods of farming

and land use practices

Knowledge Increased knowledge on the diversity production

Farmers, consumers and policy-makers show increased knowledge, awareness and interest for ecological organic agriculture (EOA).

More evidence/data gathered collected and collated suggesting that EOA is an agricultural mode of practice that improves yields, health and livelihoods. At ‘practical’ level, farmers see better results. The knowledge and interest has ripple-effects at community

level; interest spreads.

Political interest and engagement on EOA growing in all geographical areas intervention.

Albeit several results difficult to prove ‘scientifically’, the tendency from individuals involved in the projects – organisations, producers, policy-makers – is that the concept and buy-in of EOA is spreading amongst all stakeholders across the areas of intervention.

Farmers themselves have expressed what knowledge/data/training etc. is required/wanted/needed. In the standard case, only

“conventional” training personnel are available. Under this result, the need for research and EOA trained personnel is underlined.

Several exchanges between farmers have been undertaken by partners.

Reaching a “critical mass” of supporters as well as of documented scientific proof, the spreading of EOA is enhanced. The network of EOA

is also strengthened.

Biovision has started a collaborative research with ICRAF with the

outcome that the partners have started working together and opportunities for future partnership look feasible which will contribute to

the growth of the EOA Initiative. PELUM Uganda has produced a video documentary on

urban farming as a tool to widely promote urban farming among member organisations and other development agencies that work with

urban and peri-urban communities. A major achievement for ISD was finalizing and printing the

Manual for Organic Vegetable Production: 1200 copies have been printed for free distribution.

Achievement

Across the board, the commercialisation/export of organically farmed products is gaining interest. Organisations that initially worked on this express a growing demand and a higher work load on this area. Also, organisations not previously involved in the

commercialisation of products are experiencing a growing demand, this due to the effect ‘market’ has on livelihoods (in other words: commercialisation gives income improves livelihood). Uppdatera denna text!

from stem borer pests and striga weed in Tigray and the semi-arid areas of eastern Amhara. From less than 10 farmers in 2011, in 2015 it

was estimated that around 500 farmers had taken up the technology. Through close cooperation with the Bureau of Agriculture and

Natural Resources in Tigray, it was estimated that around 1000 farmers were now using PPT.

NOGAMU: 1500 smallholder organic farmers were organized, trained and facilitated in 3 producer associations/cooperatives to establish

Approximately 9500 farmers and students were reached in trainings covering topics such as soil fertility, compost making, environmental

conservation, establishment of kitchen gardens, poultry farming, water harvesting, and use of energy saving devices.

Pelum Kenya: Farmers trained gained knowledge on EOA practices and technologies. Those who adopted the technologies reported

production of healthier food as a great benefit. In addition they benefited from improved nutrition and increased income.PELUM has

The sub-programme's vision is an agriculture highly based on ecologic and organic principles; providing the population with a sufficient supply of nutritious food. The ecological organic agriculture, EOA, based on

agro-ecological principles increases gradually, leading to a varied diet through diversified production. Improved production methods based on lokal resources and ecosystem services, in which agrodiversity

makes agriculture more climate resilient, have rendered a production surplus which can be sold on the market. The surplus provides income and improved livelihood opportunities for the stakeholders. Positive

results, both economic and health-wise, contribute to the knowledge about ecological organic agriculture spreads as well as that of its production methods. The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation's

partners function as catalysts in this development at local, regional and global level.

With regard to consumption, by the end of the programme period, civil society movements in selected countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia are strong players in empowering consumers to act in support of

sustainable development. Decision-makers in the same countries have started to recognise consumer rights and make policy changes that facilitate sustainable consumption and livelihood changes. Policy

changes and collaborative community initiatives give marginalised people increased access to safe and equitable goods and services that promote a transformation to sustainable societies.

Mission

Support and cooperation with organisations and networks within the environment and agriculture sectors that work for an ecological organic agriculture based on ecological principles. The notion of Rights - e.g.

access to a good environment, quality food and knowledge - is a cornerstone for the sub-programme, as is the partners' work on raising producers', consumers' and decision-makers' awareness on the

importance of promoting a more sustainable and ecological organic agriculture. A lot of focus is dedicated to the raising the stakeholders' knowledge on how to manage ecological organic agriculture and on its

benefits from a sustainability perspective. Amongst themselves, partners work on improving dialogue, research, advisory and tertiary education which leads to a higher level of knowledge for the involved parties

coupled with improved conditions for an up-scaling of the sector. Advocacy on all levels, local to international, is imperative to achieve the vision. The sub-programme with highlight the role of women and youth

in the advance of ecological organic agriculture.

On a consumption level, the mission is to support and collaborate with civil society movements in selected countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia that contribute to increase knowledge and community-based

experiences on the role of consumers in sustainable development and mobilize consumers and local communities around these issues by forming social alliances, raising public awareness and putting pressure

on decision-makers to effect change at national, regional and global policy level.

Environmental and consumer organisations are strengthened to empower both consumers and local communities and influencing policymakers to act in support of sustainable livelihood changes.

aktivt med. I Colombia har kvinnorna tagit ledande positioner i arbetet och där deras män till en

början var skeptiska, stöttar de nu arbetet. Vissa organisationer har gradvis utvecklats ifrån att räkna

kvinnor och män till att börja diskutera genus som ett verktyg i organisationens maktanalyser och

Samtliga organisationer jobbar för att ändra konsumtionsmönster, även om de samtidigt uttrycker

att bestående beteendeförändringar kan vara svåra att mäta. Flera organisationer uttrycker också att

beteendeförändringar tar tid, ibland också längre tid än förväntat. I Malaysia har CAPs base-line

studie visat en svagare koppling mellan utbildning/information och förändrat beteende än de

förväntat sig. Både IBON och CUTS har genomfört studier av konsumentens beteende och

konstaterat att det finns en stor vilja, men att den konkreta förändrade handlingen kan vara svår att

genomföra med de lokala förutsättningarna. Till exempel p.g.a. att det saknas ekologiska produkter

lättillgängligt för konsumenten och/eller att de ekologiska produkterna är dyra. I den base-line-

undersökning som gjorts i det specifika projektområdet uppgav 48% av konsumenterna att de börjat

köpa ekologiska produkter under projektperioden och 97% av bönderna sa att de var villiga att odla

ekologiskt om de gavs ekonomiskt stöd för omställningsperioden. Andra konkreta exempel finns, till

exempel rapporterar CAP om ändrat inköp i skolkök och ökad stadsodling, i Ukraina har Mama-86:s

kampanjsida för Green Action Week fördubblat antalet visningar under projektperioden och i

Brasilien har IDECs digitala Organic Fair Map nått 150 275 unika besökare under 2015.

de senaste åren sett flera policys bli antagna efter många års påverkansarbete, däribland beslut att

fasa ut kvicksilver ur hälsoprodukter och restriktioner för reklam för barn. I Ukraina har Mama-86

synpunkter inkluderats vid revideringen av både lagen om ekologiska produkter som instiftades 2013

samt i den nationella miljöplanen där arbetet för att uppnå hållbar konsumtion och produktion nu

har inkluderats som ett verktyg i strategin för att implementera Agenda 2030. IBON har analyserat

regeringens budget för att nu jobba med ansvarsutkrävande. CUTS har arbetat för ökad

medvetenhes hos politiker. Ett resultat som bl.a. härrör från en ökad medvetenhet är att delstaten

nyligen har beslutat att undernäring och brist på protein ska angripas genom att en stor yta land ska

bli ekologiska odlingar där bönder ska få subventioner för att ställa om sin odling till ekologiskt

odlade grönsaker.

Organisationernas arbete har mer fokuserat på hållbar konsumtion utifrån produktion och

konsumtion av ekologisk mat och mindre på konsumentens rättigheter generellt, även om exempel

finns. I Colombia har civilsamhällesorgansationer mobilserat tiotusentals för att kräva rätten till rent

tillgänglighet. Kenyas regering har inkluderat en text om konsumentens rättigheter i den nationella

Awareness and knowledge about the negative impacts of large-scale energy solutions among target groups has increased. For example, NAPE in

Uganda, has through its Green Community Radio, increased awareness among the public and decision makers about the consequences of oil

extraction in the western part of the country and the harm it causes to people and the environment. The radio has had a major breakthrough in

the oil region of continued increasing listener figures. “Listeners clubs", groups villagers in the region, suggests topics for the radio programs. In

Brazil MAB has, raised awareness of dam-affected communities and workers about the impacts of large-scale energy projects and oil exploration

along the coast. MAB has also increased awareness about the rights perspective of the energy issue. In South Africa, Earthlife has released several

reports on nuclear energy, in which they also shed light on how women and men are affected differently when the energy supply is insufficient. By

leaking secret documents that revealing that the government of South Africa has violated their constitution since the procurement was made in

secret and without public consultation. Earthlife has life been able to contribute to this news reaching the public of South Africa and the public

opinion has now turned against nuclear power.

1.2 Expect Earthlife,

MAB

South Africa; Brazil, There is increased cooperation between likeminded CSOs nationally and internationally. For example, Earthlife, to put more pressure on

governments in emerging economies to take more responsibility for the energy transition, initiated a project to promote cooperation between civil

society organisations from South Africa, China, Philippines, India and Brazil. During the period these CSOs have strengthened their cooperation

and issued a statement demanding that the BRICS countries need to go fossil free. The organisations within the cooperation initiated by Earthlife

also met with a large group of Chinese organisations for common position at CO21. MAB works regionally in Latin America with similar

organisations in about 10 countries to strengthen their efforts against the expansion of hydropower and to defend the rights of local people. The

goal is to develop regional advocacy work, as the driving forces behind the negative development is the same in most of these countries.

Mobilization Synergies and alliances between civil society stakeholders that advocate

for renewable energy and increased energy access are established and

improved.

To support and collaborate with civil society movements in selected countries in LA, Africa and Asia that contribute to increased knowledge on the need for protection of ecosystem resilience and small-scale sustainable energy solutions and mobilise communities around these

issues in order to put pressure on decision-makers to effect change at national, regional and global policy level.

Prioritized area 1:

Objective

Promoting Renwable Energy

By the end of the program period, civil society organisations in East and South Africa have increased their capacity to engage effectively in national and regional energy policy debates by presenting research and analysis on renewable energy options and mobilising communities

to demand better access to renewable and affordable energy for poor and marginalised communities, thus catching the ear of relevant decision-makers who now an show interest in allocating financial resources to this area. Partner organisations in Brazil and South East Asia

have diversified their agendas and are promoting renewable energy options. The concept of energy sources such as coal, nuclear, fracking and large-scale hydropower as "false solutions" to mitigation of climate change emissions has been established; examples have been

exposed and debated between civil society and decision-makers in rapidly developing countries with large inequalities.

Progress/

Achievement

In summary the work is progressing towards the targeted achievements. A step towards promoting renewable energy is to increase knowledge about the disadvantages of non-renewable energy and the unequal access to energy. During the program period the partner

organisations’ main focus have been to bring attention to the disadvantages of large-scale, “false”, energy solutions (e.g. coal power, oil, nuclear, large-scale hydropower), rather than highlighting the advantages of renewable energy options. But there has also been a shift in

the partner organisations’ work, from 2013 to 2015, towards promoting renewable energy. The reason behind this change could be both the partner organisations’ strategies to target the issue of renewables but also because renewable energy is now cheaper and more viable

globally which has contributed to the ability to target this issue. CSE in India is the organisation that has been working most actively in promoting options on how renewable energy can expand and contribute to both reduced emission of greenhouse gases as well as better

access to energy for people living in poverty. CSE have participated in giving in-put to the national plan for decentralized energy in India. As for ”Partner organisations in Brazil and South East Asia have diversified their agendas and are promoting renewable energy options” this

is a long term work which has been initiated. An overall challenge is to make the urbanised middle class to realise the negative effects that their energy consumption is causing and under what circumstances the energy is produced. The cooperation with a partner organisation

working to mobilise communities to demand a better and more sustainable access to energy in East Africa was terminated before the program period began, which affected the achievement of the objective to some extent.

Sub-program Climate

Vision

Representatives from G77 countries have gained increased influence in the UNFCCC negotiations. The Green Climate Fund have received adequate financing and is governed by principles of accountability and transparency, thus enabling investment in renewable energy and

climate change adaptation measures in non-Annex 1 countries. CDM, REDD, large scale hydropower, nuclear power, fracking and other unsafe technologies and methods for energy supply, mitigation and adaptation have been critically reviewed and areincreasingly recognised

by relevant decision-makers as false solutions to the climate crisis. Our partner organisations’ target groups have the capacity to defend their interests in dialogue with decision-makers at local and national level. Policies and decision-making processes at national level in several

countries are giving due consideration to poor and marginalized people’s right to access to modern energy services; and, to the need to protect ecosystem resilience in order to reduce the vulnerability of society to the effects of climate change.

There is a progress , particularly youth groups in South Africa and Brazil have through Earthlife’s and MAB’s work been strengthened both in terms

of organisation as well as knowledge. A youth group in South Africa used their increased awareness of the negative effects of nuclear power to

organise a theater and through this they managed to inspire others to join the campaign against nuclear power. EMG has developed accessible

campaign materials on climate change and renewable energy . This material has also been used by other organisations who have translated the

There is progress in this area of work even though there is still a long way to go. During the program period there has been a shift in the partner

organisations work towards more focus on promoting renewable energy. This is happening because of the partner organisations strategies to raise

the issue and also because renewable energy is now viable at the global market. CSE in India has been working actively with the issue, and during

the program period increased its internal capacity on promoting renewables, for example, by establishing its own production of web-based tv- and

radio programs . CSE has had a strong advocacy work for in renewable energy in India. TERRA in Thailand have recruited new younger employees

who have the potential to push these issues. MAB in Brazil, have started to discuss these issues.

Above all, decision-makers are better informed about the negative aspects of large-scale energy solutions. For example Rio Grande do Sul Province

in Brazil have, as a result of MAB’s lobbying, become the first state to have a legal framework in which the universal rights of people affected by

the dam construction is acknowledged. CSE is the partner that have been working the most with developing proposals on how renewable energy

can expand and contribute to both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving access to energy for people living in poverty. They have

published several reports on this issue that they have used in lobbying towards decision-makers. In South Africa, Earthlife has suied the

government of South Africa for illegal handling of procurement of Russian nuclear power, which had a major outreach both in media and within

the ANC against nuclear power. A partner organisation in Southeast Asia has supported local groups to sue the World Bank in a US court for the

loss of natural resources and livelihoods as a result of negative impacts of large-scale energy projects.


2.1 Expect SANDRP, CSE. India.

CSE in India have contributed to that the reporting , from a rights perspective, from COP meetings has increased by financing journalists to cover

the meeting . CSE has contributed to that journalists from the major Indian newspapers has been educated and gotten the opportunity to go to

COP meetings. These journalists have then be able to report to the public in India.

2.2 Expect TWN Global The partner organisation TWN has contributed to that the G77 countries have become stronger in the negotiations. TWN has strengthened

delegations from several countries, by broadening their scientific knowledge on climate change and to develop their arguments on the UNFCCC

basic principle, which paved the way for the development of common positions. TWN held the first seminar at COP21 together with China's chief

negotiator. TWN 's agenda, which takes a stand for the developing countries interests for equality and loss and damage was pushed through in the

Paris Agreement. TWN has pushed for transparency and participation of civil society organisations in the climate negotiations.

Capacity Civil society organisations have increased their capacity to effectively

advocate and lobby for renewable energy up-scaling.

Prioritized area 2:

Objective

Global policy support for emission reductions and climate finance.

During the program period, principles of equity and liability gain higher acceptance and influence in UNFCCC negotiations and associated processes as G77 countries mobilise around common standpoints, particularly considering the Green Climate Fund. Prospects for adequate

and sustainable funding for climate change mitigation and adaptation in non-Annex 1 countries are increasing as the Green Climate Fund starts functioning. CDM as a financing mechanisms for climate change mitigation has been critically examined.

Progress/

Achievement

During the program period the climate negotiations have progressed from locked positions and lack of faith between the parties to an agreement in Paris (COP21) committing to keep the climate well below 2 degrees and aim for 1,5 degrees. It is obvious that the G77-countries

have become stronger in the negotiations and that their influence is increasing as they are taking common stands. The Paris Agreement operationalises the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibility, has equal focus on emissions reduction and adaptation as well as

a separate pillar on loss and damage. This is in line with the agenda of the G77-countries. TWN has had an important role both to increase availability and information on the issues important to civil society actors and negotiators from the South. TWN has also had a role during

the negotiations in demanding transparency and participation for the negotiators from developing countries. The G77-countries are pursuing similar work by taking common positions in regards to the Green Climate Fund. The fund was established in 2014 and TWN was chosen

to be the civil society representative in the board. When it comes to the Clean Development Mechanism, CDM (i. e. high income countries finance the expansion of renewable energy in vulnerable low-income countries in exchange for emission offsets) this system is no longer

viable as the price of emission offsets has dropped since 2012. Due to this change in the context CDM is no longer a priority to the partner organisations.

2.3 Like TWN Global The G77 countries have engaged in a joint work to develop common positions regarding the Green Fund. TWN has contributed to this by, in

cooperation with the G77 countries and other civil society organisations, assisting with research and analysis, and pursued an intense advocacy

work for common positions and justice in the work towards a functioning Green Fund.

The target groups of the partner organisations have a greater knowledge, both at the individual level but also on how to organise together, around

the effects of climate change and the need for a transition. For example, EMG in South Africa organised educations on water and climate for

representatives from various local organisations that they cooperate with. The training material was based on their own experience and research.

The people who participated in the training then spread the knowledge on climate change and adaptation to their respective organisations and

communities. Another example is the NAPE, who has started its own radio station (Green Community Radio) in the oil fields in western Uganda. By

this radio NAPE have been reaching out with information about what the situation of the coming oil extraction, the consequences that may arise

and how different communities can tackle this change and other changes in the environment. In Brazil, MAB spread knowledge and broadened its

commitment to hydropower issues by inviting and even including representatives of the workers on the construction of dams in their discussions.

They have created a common platform for advocacy. In Thailand both TERRA and LRS initiates research where local people carry out research on

climate change and thereby increase their knowledge.

During the program period it has generally become increasingly difficult for partner organisations to influence decision makers and the general

example, has NAPE’s radio station (see more in the results above) raised awareness of the public and policy makers about the implications of oil

extraction. SANDRP in India has through its monitoring of the water sector and participation in the event of India Rivers Week raised awareness

about the river as an ecosystem and put the issue on the political agenda.

Partner organisations’ activity has resulted in the development/formation of groups and networks and that these have the capacity to participate

in decision-making processes. Increased knowledge and, above all, mobilisation has led to increased capacity to participate in local decision-

making processes. Examples are EMG’s work in South Africa where they have strengthened the capacity of local water councils (water caucuses)

around the country. EMG is seeing an increased and active participation and this resulted in that the local councils were unified and made

submission of comments to the national water strategy. TERRA has been strengthening local communities in the Mekong region to meet, to take

common positions and to claim their rights. This has affected the local politicians in the region to make a joint statement against a planned

hydropower plant in Laos. LRS has a similar strategy and their work has resulted in that a network of local communities has been established which

is now independently carrying out campaigns and organises activities. BARCIK has been supporting the formation of local farmers, fishermen or

women's groups, groups that developed the Local Adaptation Plans, i.e. how societies can best adapt to climate change. These are based on local

knowledge and experience.

Resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems

Marginalised communities have higher resilience to the effects of climate change because destruction of crucial ecosystems has been halted through strengthened cooperation among the communities and between civil society organisations and their joint advocacy towards

decision-makers.

Progress/

Achievement

The negative impact on and degradation of important ecosystems is continuing. The partner organisations’ work focuses on forest- and riverine ecosystems as well as vulnerable agricultural communities. Even though their work to halt for example large-scale hydropower (and

the negative impacts these are causing to ecosystems and local communities) have not succeeded – dams are still being built – there are examples on how the local communities that the partner organisations cooperate with have reached a higher resilience towards the impacts

of climate change. This is a result of the development of new livelihood strategies that contribute to adaptation. This work is taking place at grassroots level and means that people also have a better ability to interact with local authorities and defend their own interests and

rights. In some places, such as in Uganda and South Africa, we have seen examples of how some of the communities that the partner organisations worked with have later demanded their rights to public services by local authorities and succeeded. Through this work the

partner organisations has also attained knowledge about what is happening at grassroots level that has brought extra weight, relevance and impact by the knowledge in their advocacy work at policy level. For practical reasons, the local adaptation work is often relatively

geographically limited. The partner organisations are using multiple methods to spread the impact of its work. During the program period we also see several examples, from India, Uganda, Brazil and South Africa, where local groups and SSNC partner organisations brings the

issues of ecosystem protection and human rights to the policy level and pushed through legal changes to protect ecosystems and the people who depend on them.

Knowledge Targeted vulnerable local communities in areas affected by climate

change have increased knowledge on current ecological conditions and

local adaptation needs and opportunities and the practical skills to

increase their resilience to the effects of climate change.

Knowledge Increased awareness among the general public and relevant decision-

makers on the importance of ecosystem resilience as a means to climate

change adaptation and the destructive effects of large scale infrastructure

development in key ecosystems.

Mobilization Targeted vulnerable communities in areas affected by climate change

have the capacity to participate in decision-making related to natural

resource management and resilience in local ecosystems at local and

national level

Capacity Civil society organisations that work to protect the resilience of

ecosystems and communities affected by climate change have increased

Partner organisations’ work has resulted in progress, but this is a continuous, long-term work. For example, CEPA supported forest-dependent

communities to increase their resilience by supporting locals who established community forests; BARCIK has strengthen local communities who

have then conducted tree planting in coastal areas of Bangladesh as well as focused on development of new rice varieties; EMG have worked with

local communities to develop strategies to cope with water stress. The strategies have been developed in collaboration with and based on the

experience of local communities and have resulted in reduced vulnerability through local people demanding the rights to services and have

received small-scale practical solutions such as water harvesting. LRS has facilitated local communities affected by large-scale hydropower projects

to build dams to conserve fish stocks.

work has resulted in that local groups from the different countries in the Mekong region networked and exchanged experiences. These local

groups issued a petition with 4 500 names in protest against the expansion of large-scale hydropower in the Mekong. The strengthening of these

groups is particularly important as the space for civil society in the Mekong region has been shrinking during the period. In South Africa, EMG’s

work resulted in a stronger network of local water council (water caucuses, where the members are local people from marginalised areas). The

water councils now organises themselves, respond to national policy issues and have a stronger voice in the public space.

Several of the partner organisations are continuously working within this area. There are significant results, but this it is no easy task to follow up

on this area since many factors come into play for people to be able to enjoy their rights and to make these demands of their governments. An

example from Uganda is that NAPE’s work to strengthen local communities resulted in the communities have demanded that the decision makers

should deliver the public services that they are entitled to. Through this, they have secured access to Ecosan toilets. In South Africa, EMG

facilitated dialogues between local communities and the local authorities, which has resulted in that an agricultural community received financial

support from the Department of Agriculture as well as received tenure to their land. A group of women in a different society now have access to

tools and seeds, as well as water tanks to collect rainwater.

The partner organisations continue to work on this. Changes and instability in the political context in India, Thailand, Brazil and South Africa have

hampered this work during the program period. In several of these countries, it is also a challenge to get the middle class to become interested in

these issues. But we also see results such as the EMG in South Africa who report that they are experiencing an impact both in terms of getting the

public's and politicians' ears when the public realises that the issue of climate change, access to water and energy are linked not only to the

climate but also to poor management of natural resources in national policies. This makes both the general public and thus also politicians seems

more likely that, to some extent, listening to civil society search for sustainable solutions.

The partner organisations continue to work on this, but it is a slow process. Examples of breakthroughs that the organisations had at policy level,

for example, that SANDRPs tenacious lobbying in India have contributed to e-flows (environmental flows) – i.e. that a certain water flow remains

even if a dam is built - is now included in the regulations concerning dam expansion. E-flows are important to, at least to some extent, preserve

ecosystem function and thus many people's livelihoods. In Brazil MAB’s work with the rights of people affected by dams have led to that a bill that

they lobbied for was passed in one state. The bill includes an expanded definition of who is affected by dams. Both NAPE and MAB are

participating in committees at a high national level (in Uganda and Brazil) and have the opportunity to have a dialogue with decision-makers in

terms of natural resources and the rights of local people. During the period NAPE, by initiating the Sustanability Schools and the Green Community

Radio, strengthened local communities that had been displaced due to oil extraction. NAPE then filed a case against the state of Uganda and won

the case where a law was passed stating the right to compensation for people who have been displaced. This is a major breakthrough.

the Climate Tour and to engage in advocacy on the Energy Strategy, the technical working group on INDC, public hearings on the levy for big cars

(to discuss CO2 taxation), and engaging with Ministry staff. NGO WG member organisations have jointly planned and carried out the Climate Tour.

The Climate tour through nine major cities in Ukraine. During the Tour which contained a range of activities NECU and NGO-WG released a

common 'manifest' demanding the government of Ukarine to make the transition from fossil dependance to renewables. This led to a huge public

outreach as well as advocacy work on climate/enery efficiency on local politics. A few municipalities have requested futher guidance on the issues.

NECU, in cooperation with other NGO, also organisaed the biggest climate march ever held in Ukraine. This is an important step for the

environmental movement and democracy in Ukraine.

volunteers. NECU do not have paying members yet nut in 2015 NECU started on-line fundraising, however did no start actively to call for

donations. They involved volunteers as a first step. The volunteers participated in the planning of some activities but the democratic function and

decision making needs to develop further.

During the programperiod NECU has seen shifts in to what extent politicians are open to listen to them. After the Euromaidan revolution (2014)

NECU reached people who it was possible to talk to in Parliament and the Ministry for Environment – previously people were not at all able to

understand what they were talking about. The Minister picked up their position on the Kyoto Protocol and made a political statement about it.

However, this shifted back after a while and even though NECU take part in the important processes (ex Ukraininan INDC process) they are again in

a position where it is not easy to affect the politics. NECUs focus on buildng a mamber base and find new strategies is a strategic way to handle

this context. NECU also contributed to results such as that the government introduced the first state programme for energy efficiency in Ukraine.

great effect on visiblizing the small-scale fisheries sector and its role for food secyrity and income. Other national examples are Kiara who

has been become an even stronger voice on different issues facing fisherfolks in Indonesia, through constant campaigns and information

spreading. The role of women within fisheries has also been more visible in the debate, both as a result of the SSF Guidelines, and as the

organizations have been lobbying for the inclusion of the whole fish value chain and all associated activities and thus women's inclusion.

Masifundise, South Africa, has been more visible as an important actor during the process of elaboration of the National Bill on Fisheries

(New fisheries policy). CAOPA has grown as a West African network, drawing increasingly more attention to the issues of small-scale

fishers. Representatives from African Union, national goverments and EU-representatives have participated on meetings and events

organized by CAOPA. The journalist network REJOPRAO has also created more attention by writing about West African small-scale

fisheries.

Delprogrammets organisationer har stärkt lokalsamhällen vad gäller att kräva sin rätt till de marina naturresurserna. Arbetet har framförallt skett genom juridisk assistans, kunskapsspridning om mänskliga rättigheter och demokrati, organisering, mobilisering

samt genom att lyfta och synliggöra problemen för beslutsfattare och allmänhet såväl nationellt som internationellt.

Sub-program Marine

Vision

By the end of the programme period, several national and international decision-making processes relating to the management of oceans and coastal ecosystems take into account the way in which sustainable small-scale fisheries contribute to sustainable

development and food security. The role of women in fisheries and in coastal community development has been made visible and is reflected in the international guidelines for sustainable small-scale fisheries, adopted by the FAO COFI in 2014. Prior to the

implementation of the guidelines, the SSNC partner organisations have contributed to the empowerment of fish workers and members of coastal communities in order to enable active participation in decision making and adaptive co-management of marine

resources. The EU Common Fisheries Policy, adopted in 2013, aims to contribute to sustainable fishing. Awareness of how destructive fishing practices, such as bottom trawling, are affecting food security and livelihoods in the South, has increased among

policy makers and the general public. Coastal communities, whose livelihoods are dependent on healthy ecosystems, such as mangrove, which are also particularly valuable for their diversity, climate control and security, have the capacity to claim their rights

to sustainable long-term use of such resources, meanwhile maintaining and/or creating local resilience.

Mission

To contribute to the fulfillment of the vision, the sub-programme focuses on strengthening the capacity of the NGO:s, community based groups, producer organisations and networks that participate in the programme. A key element in the sub-programme is

capacity development related to human rights, access to information, participation, mobilization and leadership as well as exchanges between organisations. There will be a particular focus on strengthening women and young people and their organisations

and networks, based on their own formulated needs and priorities. Furthermore, the sub-programme includes advocacy work at all levels; from local to international. Results from the previous programme period stress the importance of creating alliances

with other strong civil society actors. Finally, partner organisations, which are active at the local level intend to promote the co-management, protection, restoration of resources as well as diversification of livelihood, while strengthening and enabling

communities to take active participation in any such initiatives.

Knowledge The small scale fishing sector has become more visible in the

national and international political debate.

All our partners are working for the inclusion of women as an important actor within fisheries, that their role should be acknowledged

and acounted for in decision-making processes. There have been many positive examples both on local level as well as on national and

international level. Internationally, the SSF Guidelines recognizes the role of women in fisheries, a long process in which ICSF has played a

great role. On a local level, Kiara, CANCO, Terramar, CPP and C-Condem are testifying that women are now taking a greater part in

decision-making processes and being acknowledged by their communities as important actors. At the same time, some legislation has

showed reversed tendencies, such as the Brazilian which has effectively excluded women as fishers by only including fishers out on the

actual sea rather than other roles throughout the value chain, or near shore fishing and shellfish collection in mangroves - activities

predominately occupied by women. Equally so, the Indonesian draft Bill on Fisheries establishes women as "women belonging to a

household of fishers" rather than an actor of themselves. Further, while there have been many progresses on local level there have also

been setbacks with men being threatened by women's increasing role and therefore restricting their possibiities in other spheres such as

within the household. Through the consistent work of the organizations and the new SSF guidelines, there is a hope for further progress.

1.4 Like Masifundise,

CANCO, CFFA


West Africa

The implementation processes of Fisheries Policies are very much delayed in several countries, such as South Africa and Kenya. CANCO,

Kenya, has significantly lobbied for, and contributed to that the policy has now been taken to the last instance before approval.

Meanwhile, they have prepared the communities by strenghtening their knowledge on the Draft. In South Africa, Masifundise has

continously worked for the implementation process to progress, which has been difficult as the Ministry is not contributing to the

fulfilment as they should, and there is a great stigma surrounding the small-scale fisheries sector, predominantly black, communities.

Masifundise has developed a handbook about the policy and also a handbook on the different legal entities to be created. Thereby, they

have strenghtened the local communities capacity to participate in the on-going policy processes but also prepared for the

implementation. CFFA/CAOPA has been more consilitated as a network and thereby also contiued to work with monitoring the

implementation and fulfillment of their national policies, even though it varies according to the different countries.

All the partners have an established position in the public debate. For instance, Kiara became the main reference point for media on

fisheries issues during the presidential election campaign as especially the winning candidate focused a lot of attention to marine and

fisheries issues. Kiara's significance has been demonstrated, among other things, through that the Indonesian Minister of Fisheries

participated on Kiara's general assembly 2015, discussing fisheries issues with the participants. Several of Kiaras positions on the draft of

a new Fisheries Bill are also reflected in the draft.

CFFA: CAOPA with support from CFFA has been very active in the negotiations on a fishing agreement between EU-Senegal by influencing

both Senegalese and European authorities. In the CAOPA general assembly of 2015, the Minister of Fisheries participated.

Masifundise has been named the third most influential CSOs changing the history of South Africa by the major news paper Sunday Times.

All the organizations continue to work with these issues but due to difficult political and statael contexts, it has yet not been achieved to

its full extent. It is a long term-result to be achieved. Especially the organizations in Latin America (CPP, C-Condem, Terramar) as well as

Kiara, Indonesia are providing legal assistance to the communities. There are several examples won, for instance Terramar, Brazil, where

the community Curral Velho prevented the opening of a wind-energy park in their mangrove area. Other examples are CANCO, Kenya,

where local community managed to stop a sand mining-project on their beach area. There are also examples on cases that have been

going on for years without conclusion or cases lost. Even though there have been individual victories, the general trend is still a

increasingly pressured situation for the communities with an increasing number of private and state run extractive industries and

investments, etc. in the territories of the communities.

2.1 Expect C-CONDEM,

KIARA

Ecuador, Indonesia Several organizations have worked with re-plantation of mangrove plants but it's a long-term process to turn plants into functioning

mangrove ecosystems. Several organizations have also worked with increasing the local knowledge about the value of mangrove systems.

RMI, C-Condem, Kiara and CANCO have all worked with replantation projects during the year. Some are more fruitful than others

depending on the local circumstances of the area in question. Kiara has replanted 10 000 plants of mangrove and based on the

observations and traditional knowledge of the local communities, some fish as well as crab species have started to return. More scientific

research about the long-term effects are however required.

C-Condem: local communities monitor/act as "watchdogs" in areas where shrimpfarmers are obliged to restore mangroves but seldom

do so, or do it in unappropriate areas. C-Condem has also been asked by the govermnet to make a proposal on how to implement their

restoration method on a larger, national scale. The project is however delayed due to changes of ministers.

A few examples of partners working with this but there is still a lack of capacity within many of the organizations to work with the issue of

climate change. Masifundise participated in the climate meeting (COP21 ) in Paris. CLSA/Masifundise, together with Afrika Kontakt,

Transnational Institute (TNI) and World Forum of Fisher Peoples (WFFP), World Forum of Fish Harvesters (WFF) and FoodFirst

Information and Action Network (FIAN International) championed a notion "Blue carbon is Ocean Grabbing in disguise; therefore we

need to focus on Systems Change”of focusing on systems change by promoting the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines,

Governance of Tenure and the Small-Scale Fisheries Policy" during the climate meeting (COP21) in paris in 2015. However, it is difficult to

tell the results of this, especially on a local level. ICSF has made a documentary called "The Sea of Change: Traditional fishworker's

perception of climate change" to illustrate local peoples' perceptions of climate change. Many organizations are working on documenting

changes in the natural resources in the territories of the communities but it is a much larger process to determine its connections to

climate change.

In general among all the countries and organizations, an increasingly difficult situation regarding natural resources is increasing the

conflicts between states/private intrests/between and within local communities. There are different strategies and levels among all the

organizations on how they are handling this. RMI and C-Condem has sistematized registration of cases of conflicts and try to get national

and international attention to specific cases to put pressure on the authorities. Terramar, CPP and C-Condem as well as to some extent

Kiara provide legal assistance to communities and people affected by conflicts.

General Assembly.

2.4 Like Terramar, C-

Brazil, Ecuador Terramar, C-Condem and Kiara are working on diversifying the income of the local communities through local production of various

artisanal products such as products from mangrove plants and seashells, through local sustainable community tourism, small food-stalls,

micro-credit projects and through diminishing the use of middlemen so as to increase the income. For instance Terramar reports that the

number of local community tourists have increased from 3011 in 2013 to 4630 in 2015. All the organizations work on diversifying the

income of local target groups, especially for women.

Several of the organizations are working on gaining a better price for their products and to get subsidies during periods when there

should be now fishing or collecting due to recovering periods. Some organizations are working on increasing knowledge on not using fish

or shellfish that are too small. Almost all the organizations are working on securing access for small-scale fishing to the coastal resources,

against the large, industrial fisheries. C-Condem is working through their cultural centre to promote sustainable consumption of

fisheries. CFFA: Mauritanian octopus fishers have since the new EU-Mauritania protocal reserved access to the octopus fishery, without

competition with the EU industrial fleet. The SSF Guidelines is also focused on giving small-scale fishers their rightful priority access to the

marine resources. However, despite several positive examples, the general trend remains strained.

C-condem has worked on this but the situation has worsened due to the political situation in the country (Ecuador). In Kenya, Canco are

working with local management groups (Beach management units) as a way of assuring co-management. This is a result of a more

decentralized management strategy (in 2010) made by the Government. However, whereas some BMUs are doing quite well, are

informed, and able to participate in decision-making, others are struggling. Nevertheless, Canco, via the Indian Ocean Water Body/BMU

network, are working for the inclusion of local communitities in coastal resource management. This is done via information, tranining and

dialogue with county and national Government. In general, there is a trend of more and more MPAs (e.g. South Africa), restricting people

from accessing the marine enviroment and associated resources.

Accomplished. The SSF Guidelines are the result of a bottom-up participatory development process that involved more than 4 000

representatives of

governments, small-scale fishers, fish workers and their organizations, researchers, development partners

and other relevant stakeholders from more than 120 countries in 6 regional and more than 20 civil-society

organization-led national consultative meetings. ICSF played a major role in this and has has through their partner-organizations and

members held workshops among small-scale fisheries communties around the world to feed into the policy process. ICSF, CPP,

CFFA/CAOPA, Masifundise, CANCO have, together SSNC, directly participated in the process. The guidelines were adopted by FAO COFI in

June 2014 with several adjustments elaborated by civil society. In 2015, ICSF and other organizations started to work on the

implementation process of the SSF guidelines to ensure that it is taken into consideration at national levels. Several workshops were agin

held to include local communitities in this process.

3.2 Expect CFFA globally Fulfilled. CFFA/CAOPA is continously working on this, several position papers have been elaborated and their input is continously asked

for. For instance, CFFA contributed, through the LDRAC, to the recommendation for the EU to propose in the annual 2014 UN General

Assembly resolution on fisheries to include various topics, including: a demand to implement the FAO Guidelines on small scale fisheries,

as well as a recommendation towards fair and sustainable fishing agreements. This was accepted by the EC, endorsed by the Council,

subsequently proposed at the UNGA and adopted by its members.

3.3 Like CFFA West Africa,

globally

The initiated report on bottom-trawling changed its focus to include different aspects related to small-scale fisheries, with case studies

from six West African countries (Senegal, Mauretania, Guinea-Bissau, Tunisia, Togo and Ghana). The report was delayed due to the Ebola

crisis and conflict situation in for instance Liberia, thus a change of countries for the case studies had to take place, but was finally

finished early 2016. It is too early to see any effects of its distribution and demand, i.e. that the African Union decalres next year the

"african Year of Artisanal Fisheries". Political lobbying for this cause, and for improved data collection methods, exclusive zones reserved

for artisanal fisheries, and the inclusion of local communitities in any initiative or policy that will impact their livelihoods, will take place in

2016.

3.4 Like CFFA globally Work is continously made to try and increase the transparency, for instance through Fishileaks and the West african journalist network

Rejoprao and CFFA's insistance on the matter. It is difficult to measure the exact effect but a major breakthrough has been the

establishment of a new global initiative, the Fishieries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) for improved transparency in the fisheries sector.

CFFA has been contributing through an advisory group as well as a technical group. Equally so, the new EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP)

aims to increase transparency. There is therefore an onging trend of increased transparency but also a reversed trend of increased

opacity with more global actors being involved.

Advocacy Civil society organisations and fisher organisations has

participated and influenced the FAO International Guidelines for

Sustainable Small scale Fisheries.

Mobilization Coastal civil society organisations has supplied EU policy

makers with policy recommendations on how to improve EU

The new EU CFP was adopted in January 2014. New protocols were negotiated with Senegal and Mauretania (the later without success).

CFFA/CAOPA has been constantly monitoring and trying to influence these processes. One progress was that the agreement between EU-

Senegal doesn't give access to the sardinella, often called the "fish of the poor", which has been a long standing demand from the fishing

communities as it is critical for food security. This is however an ongoing process and it is during the reviews of the protocolls that the

effects of the new policy can be determined, i.e. if they have been positive or negative.

3.6 Love RMI Latin-American,

Not accomplished. RMI has suffered from internal/organizational problems, which has delayed their work. In addition, as mentiond

above, many of SSNCs partner organizations have focused on other issues than climate change. This is also true for the sector as a whole.

However, the aim is to put much more effort on the link between marine and coastal ecosystems, as well as fisheries, in the up-coming

program period.

Vision

Vid programperiodens slut har samarbetsorganisationernas arbete rörande utvinning av mineraler och fossila bränslen, produktion och konsumtion av produkter, samt materialåtervinningsprocesser bidragit till att farliga kemikalier har börjat fasats ut i vissa verksamheter. Lagstiftning

och policyer rörande kemikaliesäkerhetsfrågor är under utveckling, är färdiga, eller håller på att implementeras. Ansvarsbärarna värdesätter civilsamhällets deltagande och kunskaper. Implementeringsarbetet med SAICM har avancerat genom samarbetsorganisationernas arbete, och

en diskussion om hur kemikaliesäkerhetsarbetet globalt skall fortsätta efter 2020 har inletts. Delprogrammets organisationer deltar aktivt i denna diskussion. Implementeringen av den globala kvicksilverkonventionen har inletts och även där spelar samarbetsorganisationerna en aktiv

roll. Småskalig gruvdrift och materialåtervinning omfattas i allt högre grad av miljö- och arbetsmiljölagstiftning; det finns allt fler exempel på småskalig guldutvinning som övergått till kvicksilverfria utvinningsmetoder. Den ökade kunskapen hos samarbetsorganisationernas målgrupper

om de aktuella sakfrågorna, därtill kopplade genderfrågor, och medvetenhet om sina rättigheter i anslutning till arbetsmiljö och produktion av produkter, utvinning av mineraler och fossila bränslen har lett till att konsumenter nu efterfrågar information och konsumerar annorlunda,

kvinnor och män i samhällen som drabbas av kemikalieintensiva verksamheter organiserar sig för rätten till information, reningsåtgärder, skyddsutrustning, m.m, och har börjat få gehör för sina krav.

Mission

Centralt för att uppnå delprogrammets vision är att stärka delprogrammets organisationer och nätverk. Kapacitetsstärkning sker genom verksamhets- och organisationsutveckling, deltagande i nationella och internationella policyprocesser, erfarenhetsutbyten i, t.ex., genderfrågor,

samt genom stöd till organisationernas arbete med att sprida kunskap och information för att öka målgruppernas medvetenhet kring risker och rättigheter, liksom deras egna möjligheter att bidra till en sund kemikalieförvaltning. Kampanjer kan med fördel baseras på mätdata

(kemikalieinnehåll i olika material), vilket erfarenhetsmässigt är pedagogiskt, speciellt om målgrupperna själva bidragit med prover till mätningarna. Risker kopplade till särskilt utsatta grupper, såsom kvinnor och barn, kan betonas. Delprogrogrammet omfattar påverkansaktiviteter på

alla nivåer, från lokal till internationell. Erfarenhetsmässigt är nätverk en styrka i påverkansarbete, inte minst internationellt, varför fler nätverk kommer att stödjas under kommande programperiod än under föregående.

has been conducted by Envirocare. Trainings on CP sensitised industrial owner to replace old machinery with new ones, improved facilities

for treatment of wastewater effluents, minimize energy loss through the processes and carrying out environmental auditing. The

improvements have increased industrial production efficiency and minimize the concentration and amount of waste discharged in the

Vision

Increased protection of natural forests and its resources through the development of sustainable management practices and good governance, not least by stronger position of the local people and their documented knowledge. The problems of monoculture and other

unsustainable land use have been reduced in favor of more sustainable management of natural forests. Both policy makers as well as forest and plantation industry recognize local communities' rights to influence relevant processes. National and international policies,

including sustainable management strategies contain sustainable management strategies. Climate action takes into consideration the value of the protection of natural forests from both a micro and macro climate perspective as well as includes a clear poverty

perspective. Consumption patterns have begun to change in favor of alternatives to monoculture products.

Mission

To support and collaborate with civil society movements in selected countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia that contribute to increased knowledge and attention for the value of natural forests and sustainable and diversified use of forest resources. To strengthen

their capacity in order for them to put pressure on decision-makers to effect change at national, regional and global policy level.

women in this process, given that they control the production and processing of traditional oil palm in almost all countries in West and Central Africa. WRM has

defined the different effects of gender in relation to deforestation processes, as well as the effects of extraction project such as mines-, oli, or the establishment of

industrial monoculture plantations.

ICE has engaged directly 60 community groups in the four counties (Kiambu, Meru, Machakos and Tharaka-Nithi).

Genom hållbara metoder för nyttjande och förvaltning kan människor bevara skogen de är beroende av. Bra metoder för förvaltning är även ett redskap för människor genom vilket de kan öka sin självkänsla och därmed bli starkare samhällsmedborgare med kapacitet

att aktivt delta i processer som påverkar miljö och levnadsförhållanden. Anledningen till att kvinnor och unga lyfts upp speciellt under programperioden är dels att de inte åtnjuter samma inflytande som män över hur exempelvis skogsresurser ska förvaltas och dels att

kvinnor men även unga ser skogsresurser som en försäkring för såväl hälsa som försörjning. I flera fall har i synnerhet kvinnors position stärkts, ff a genom att de lyckats åstadkomma ett skydd för de ekosystem de är beroende av, vilket fått till följd att deras position i

lokalsamhället stärkts. Skogsresurser innebär exempelvis medicinalväxter, komplement till jordbruksproduktion genom jakt och fiske, bidrar med viktiga födoämnen som frukt och bär, stapelföda som sagopalmen, honung med mera samt icke-timmerråvaror som

rotting för produktion av bruksvaror och ser därför vikten av bevarande i ett längre och vidare perspektiv. Exempelvis NTFP EP Asia och SAM har arbetat med detta fokus. Däremot kan man inte, annat än i undantagsfall, säga att plantageexpansionen har begränsats.

Sawit Watch has made a little contribution/impact in Indonesia where at national level begins to gain insight into the effects of monoculture and oversight of the

local people's rights to forest has brought in the form of devastating consequences for the environment.

WRM: The concern and resistance against the process of Economic Valuation of Nature (also called as Financialization of Nature) has increased globally, in both

Northern and Southern countries.

process of financialization of nature to the struggles of forest-dependent peoples to maintain their territories and for the struggle against deforestation in general.
