General

Land Rights Now is an international campaign to secure indigenous and community land rights. It was launched by the International Land Coalition, Oxfam, and Rights and Resources Initiative, and many others in in March 2016 with the target of doubling the amount of land recognized as owned and controlled by Indigenous People and local communities by 2020 . The campaign contributed to a wider global call to action to secure indigenous and community land rights, which resulted in various local-to-global initiatives. Since then, more than 800 organizations have endorsed the target of the campaign, and over 100 have engaged in campaign activities. Campaign #wins#, increasing demand by communities, and a growing supporter base testify the success of the campaign and its enormous potential. To tap into this, the campaign has now entered a Phase II clearly positioning itself as an amplifier of campaigns for organizations that endorsed the target. This proposal contributes to the Land Rights Now coordinator ofthis next phase for 1 year from 1 May2018 to 30 April 2019. The Land Rights Now coordinator # a position currently held by Fionuala Cregan and hosted by Oxfam Novib # is a fundamental and strategic position to deliver the alliance plans of the campaigns.

PATHWAY 1 - CHANGE POLICES AND PRACTICES OF KEY PRIVATE ACTORS IN THE AGROFOOD SYSTEM # We will develop evidence-based advocacy trajectories, work with allies and partners and mobilize publics to target key actors in the food system # such as traders, intermediaries, food companies and retailers # for more transparency in supply chains and for a greater share of value, improved incomes and rights for small-scale food producers and workers in those chains. We will organize our constituencies using socialmedia in combination with offline mobilization. We will support spaces for citizen-driven change alongside and supporting our policy influencing work. # We will challenge the notion that economic activity by big companies automatically translates into positive outcomes on the local level (#income, jobs, infrastructure#). We will collect data from impoverished rural areas that have been affected by (large-scale) production of bulk commodities and assess how these rural areas perform across a range of issues (such as access to land, gender equality, poverty, greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, forced labour, income and inequality). We will engage (global) companies that source from these areas on the impact of their business models on communities. #We will connect with Oxfam programs on the ground, to integrate lessons learned in a propositional agenda around alternative production models that contribute to our overall vision (e.g. gender-responsive value chains; investments that contribute to people-centred land governance; strengthening local food systems and markets). PATHWAY 2 - CHANGE THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FINANCIAL FLOWS IN THE FOOD SYSTEM Our second pathway is # together with allies and affected communities # to push development banks (WB, FMO, IFC) and private financial sector actors (for example, commercial banks and pension funds) to improve sustainability standards, transparency and accountability and to shift investments away fromunsustainable projects towards projects that support women small-scale food producers, that respect land rights and that are aligned with the goals of the Paris agreement. # We will produce solid, evidence-based advocacy, highlighting for example cases of land rights violations # including involuntary resettlement and development-induced displacement # or the social consequences of fossil fuel investments, and elevate the stories of indigenous communities and women land activists (for example, through a speaking tour) to engage with the actors in the financial institutions to change their policies and practices towards more sustainable investments. Wewill target key players in the financial sector with the potential to have a global or regional systemic impact. Where opportunities exist we will push forpolicy reforms to drive systemic change. # We will engage directly with development banks/ IFIs and nationalgovernments to ensure their investments align with international agreements struck in recent years, including the VGGTs, the SDGs and Paris Agreement. This can be done at both institutional and project level. Depending on opportunities, our engagement will seek to ensure investments are aligned with countries# Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement. This could also involve assessing IFI#s land portfolio in specific countries. # We will engage with IFIs for more upward harmonization of global standards, and more transparency and accountability. We will monitor the performance of the public financial sector (i.e. the World Bank,IFCandFMO), which relies more and more on financial intermediaries such as commercial banks and investment funds to deliver development finance. # We will explore using progress in development banks/ IFI lending standards and new norms, such as the work ofthe G20 Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), to engage with commercial banks in developed and developing countries to set higher standards in the same areas. PATHWAY 3- CHANGE POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF GOVERNMenTS The third pathway is to create government champions for pro-poor and sustainable public policies. # In the UNFCCC, particularly in the lead-up to the COP in 2020, we will campaign for more climate finance, in particular for adaptation and for loss and damage. We will continue to encourage prioritizing the most vulnerable countries and groups, including women small-scale food producers. One way of doing this could be by earmarking part of the funds to support women. We will promote the integration of tenure security reforms in climate change strategies. We will also explore opportunities to strengthen the mitigation debate to keep temperature rise below 1.5-2 degrees Celsius and avoid furthernegative impacts of climate change on women small-scale food producers. We willadvocate for transitions in land use, deforestation and soil degradation. # We will advocate for strengthened accountability and reporting mechanisms of international fora where governments convene, such as the HLPF, the UNFCCC and related mechanisms.Wewill provide #on-the-ground# examples by investing in national shadow reporting on internationally agreed benchmarks, including monitoring budgets and country performance against SDGs# indicators, NDC implementation and climate finance, and by influencing public national and international agencies tasked with monitoring. We will advocate for sex-disaggregated data. We will engage with governments to implement their own commitments, through dialogues, advocacy and research, and a race to the top. We willmake explicit interlinkages across inequality, climate change, land and agriculture, and focus on women#s rights. # We will work with allies to strengthen spaces for civil society in multilateral institutions and wewill identify new opportunitiesto drivesystem-wide change in the areas of land rights, climate change and food value chains, including through exploring potential opportunities around the OECD Guidelines, UN-led processes, human rights instruments, and G7 and G20meetings. # We willorganize networks and constituencies (on the national level) and engage with governments to implement their own commitments # through dialogues, advocacy and research, and a race to the top # and will encourage them to become champions for change, including through local-to-global influencing strategies

Oxfam International Nairobi SIDA Bridge

Oxfam's GROW campaign works for the billions of us who eat food and for the more than one billion poor men and women who grow it. Through our global campaign, we address inequality in the global food system. Our overall objective is that people living inpoverty claim power in the way the world manages land, water, and climate change, so that they can grow or buy enough food to eat # now and in the future. We support local communities to claim back their power, earn a living income, and to grow or buy food by ensuring investments in rural people. By ensuring investments in rural people, we support them in overcoming the dramatic impacts of climate change on agriculture, allowing them to thrive. GROW focusses on change at national levels and on opportunities to achieve internationalimpact. More specifically, by 2019 we aim for more governments, multilateral institutions and companies implementing policies that promote sustainable food production and consumption, while supporting those most vulnerable to adapt to climate change, and helping communities# realise their rights to land with a particular focus on women who produce much of the world#s food. To ensure that the Sustainable Development Goals, including zero hunger, become a reality, we need innovative ideas that hold a promise of a better future for many # not just a privileged few. We believe there are key factors that drive hunger and inequality: unfair distribution within value chains, insecure land rights, climate change, gender inequality and ever more young people desperate for opportunities leaving rural areas. Oxfam's GROW campaign tackles the key sources in the broken global food system by working to mobilise impacted communities and active consumers alike. Since the launch of the GROWcampaign in 2011 more than 10 million people have been reached through on- and offline campaign activities and a multitude of people has been reached through media coverage. We are proud of the achievements of GROW. We gave small-scale female farmers a voice; through the Behind the Brands campaign significant new commitments have been made by big food and beverage companies to improve social and environmental standards in their vast supply chains; we are proud of our contribution to keep climate finance, especially for adaptation and resilience, on the agenda of the global climate negotiations at COP21 in Paris; and we recently celebrated a land mark victory as the Constitutional Court in Colombia recognized the Land Rights of the indigenous communityCañamomo Lomaprieta and granted protection for ancestral mining activities. An overview of our results can be found on the interactive map. Oxfam is at the beginning of a new phase of the GROW campaign (2017 # 2020). Throughout the years, we have been actively updating our context analysis, testing drivers of change, reflecting on models of campaigning, addressing new key actors, and, exploring new alliances. Nonetheless, now more than ever we feel the need to increase our impact and change systemic drivers of inequality in the food system. In this document, we present three innovative work streams running until at least 2020. 1. A new worldwide campaign addressing inequality in food value chains (expected launch October 2017) 2. The LandRightsNow campaign 3. Effective adaptation finance to support women farmers. These three projects have received seed funding from inter alia SIDA and we are currently looking for opportunities to up-scale them between 2017-2020 to reach our ultimate objectives. Wewant tonote that this document does not present the future direction of the entire GROW campaign but presents three selected trajectories (2017 # 2020) where innovation is key.

JONAM YOUTH DEVELOPMenT Initiative

General

Jonam Youth Development Initiative (JOYODI) is a legally registered not-for-profit Non-Governmental Organization incorporated as Company with Limited Liability on the 4th February, 2008. JOYODI is based at Kapita, along Wadelai road in Pakwach Town Council, JonamCounty - Pakwach district. The organization has 8 years of experience in identifying and tackling community health needs. Equal Voices, Equal Rights (EVER) is a project idea which seeks to challenge discrimination, exploitation, abuse and violence that rural women and girls are subjected to in Pakwach Town Council. Gender Based Violence (GBV) is a serious issue in Uganda as a whole but more pronounced in rural areas. According to the Ministry of Gender, labour and social development, more women (39%) have suffered effects of GBV compared to men (11%). This is even more prevalent in marriage (62%). The common forms of GBV in Pakwach district include defilement, assault, rape, threats of violence, child neglect, deprivation of property, widow inheritance, forced marital sex and forced early marriage. These are primary fuelled by the patriarchal mind-set of our society which has led to power imbalance between males and females. Goal: To reduce violence against married women and create an enabling environment for their socio-economic wellbeing. Equal Voices, Equal Rights (EVER) has three specific objectives as below; # Increase individual awareness on GBV and challenge attitudes and harmful traditional practices that promote GBV. Married men and women (18-35 years) increased their knowledge on causes and effects of GBV and the possible consequences of GBV. Improved respect and attitude of men towards their wives, reduced harmfultraditional practices that promote GBV. Survivors of GBV more informed about the available avenues for seeking redress. # Increasedaccess of women and girls to socio-economic opportunities. This objective will specifically empower women and girls to demand for social and economic opportunities that they are lawfully entitled to; including education and land ownership among others. It seeks to achieve equal property distribution between male and females, increased linkage and involvement of women and girls in government aided community economic projects such as NUSAF III, Community Driven Development (CDD) and Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP). # Improved coordination and partnership for effective GBV response. Under this objective, JOYODI envisions increased partnership and collaboration with all key stakeholders to address GBV, community leaders trained and supporting advocacy against GBV, a platform created to enable quarterly or bi-annual dialogue on GBV with all stakeholders, improved referral and support for survivors and collective action planning for betterGBV prevention.
