P007370001: Working through the Government of Jordan (GoJ), this project builds the resilience of vulnerable women, including refugees, through three complementary pillars. Project activities include: (1) providing livelihoods opportunities such as cash-for-work that graduates into sustainable employment opportunities, including job placements, entrepreneurship opportunities, or work permit applications; (2) providing education opportunities based on labour market needs, including leadership and civic engagement skills development; and (3) contributing to gender-based violence prevention, protection and awareness-raising services. The 22 Oasis Centres across Jordan, which have evolved into multi-sectoral service delivery, support vulnerable women in camps and host communities. They focus on resilience and empowerment for women and girls while also engaging men and boys in dialogue and mobilization for gender and social equality.
P007370002: The overall goal of this initiative is to strengthen the Government of Jordan's systems to mainstream gender in its policies and programs to better respond to the needs of women refugees and vulnerable Jordanian women and empower them to become more resilient. This would be done through gender mainstreaming in national planning and programs, as well as in local planning and decision-making processes.

This initiative would also support the Ministry of Social Development for the implementation of its recently approved strategy, and set up programs for women's economic empowerment, resilience, protection, and leadership, using the UN Women-created Oasis Centre model. The Oasis model also directly addresses key barriers and enabling factors that affect women’s engagement in livelihoods opportunities.

The Pacific Island Countries are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to their proximity to the ocean and their reliance on it for resources and transportation. The well-being and livelihoods of Pacific Island populations, particularly the poorest who are heavily dependent on land and marine biodiversity, are severely impacted. The Kiwa Initiative works towards strengthening the climate-change resilience of Pacific Island ecosystems, economies and communities by promoting and supporting nature-based solutions for adaptation to climate change.

This project aims to make Pacific Islands ecosystems, economies and communities, particularly Indigenous women, more resilient to the impacts of climate change. 2 regional organizations – the Pacific Community and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme and – International Union for Nature Conservation implement this initiative through its regional Oceania Office based in Suva, Fiji.

The Kiwa Initiative - nature-based solutions for climate resilience is a 7-year (2020 to 2027), $116 million multi-donor Pan-Pacific regional initiative funded by Canada ($16M), France ($61M), the European Union ($30MM), Australia ($2.71M), and New Zealand ($4.49M).

This capacity-building project will build on the successes of earlier work and incorporate important recommendations following the 2015 elections which emphasized empowering traditionally marginalized groups to become engaged in the political process by enhancing the information available in ethnic languages, fostering intersectional engagement between women, youth, ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities and developing targeted civic and voter education. The project will work with local partner groups to leverage opportunities for engagement with voters in non-traditional spaces

The project aims to increase the protection and equal opportunities for children, especially girls, boys, and adolescents, in the contexts of human mobility in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Project activities include: (1) strengthening institutional capacities for comprehensive gender responsive attention to highly vulnerable children, especially girls; (2) developing comprehensive gender responsive protocols and road-maps for case identification and referrals to specialized services for children, especially for girls' protection; (3) piloting alternative gender responsive care models, adapted to the specific and differentiated needs of children on the move, especially girls; and (4) implementing gender responsive comprehensive strategies to shift harmful norms against sexual and gender-based violence.
