YOUNG PEOPLE BUILDING SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS (ALBANIA)
Albania is facing year after year of increased impacts and extreme events due to climate change, such as floods, fires destroying large areas of forests, prolonged dry spells and heavy rains and storms. The awareness of the Albanian population about environmental degradation and environmental protection is very low, as shown by past FER projects in Albania. The area of lake management is neglected, as is the gender perspective in climate change impacts and their addressing. Therefore, there is a need for greater awareness of the issue, understanding of the causes and consequences, and possible solutions to combat and mitigate climate change.
The project will increase understanding of the impact of climate change on urban water bodies and gender in Albania, empower young people for environmental activism (especially 10 selected young activists), raise awareness among 1000 young people, 20 decision makers and the general public about the impact and consequences of climate change, and mitigate climate change through environmental actions, with 20 actions to be implemented by young people in 5 schools, and 3 sustainable solutions to be implemented by the lake in Tirana, which will have a positive impact on the nature and the waters.
The activities and results will contribute to enhancing Albania’s capacity to combat, mitigate and adapt to climate change, with a particular focus on sustainable water management, addressing gender inequalities and active youth participation. In this way, the project will contribute to the Sustainable Development sub-goals: 13.3 Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity for climate change mitigation, adaptation, mitigation and early warning; 6.6 Protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountain areas, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes by 2030; and 5.1 Eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and girls everywhere.

Gender Action Plans
For many years, Slovenia has been one of the countries with a relatively high level of equality in most areas of social life, but the latest results of various gender equality indices show that we have not managed to close the gender gap completely. In some areas, the gap has even widened. Inequalities are manifested in particular by the persistent segregation of the labour market along gender lines, the persistence and even widening of the gender pay and pension gaps, the increasing prevalence of violence against women and girls or gender-based violence, the increased poverty of older women in particular, the unequal distribution of care responsibilities between the sexes, the unbalanced gender representation in many areas and, last but not least, the presence of stereotypical beliefs that inhibit the development of potential. Horizon Europe has introduced a new rule requiring public institutions wishing to apply for Horizon Europe calls to have a gender equality plan in place. This rule has encouraged the preparation of Gender Action Plans, which is excellent and could be a major step forward in the field of gender equality, but it is noticeable that the Action Plans that have been prepared in recent years are there for the sake of being there, and it is clear from the several examples of existing Action Plans that there is no real understanding of equality within the institution. This project would therefore like to implement a comprehensive process for the adoption of quality action plans in municipalities and other institutions.
We will develop a website and online training on gender equality, specifically on the development of Gender Action Plans to support the advocacy process. With the Municipality of Škofja Loka, we will implement a process for the preparation of a Gender Action Plan, which will serve as a model example of a good action plan and the overall process for its preparation. In addition, we will monitor the action plans of other municipalities and institutions and make recommendations for changes and improvements to the 5 existing plans in order to ensure that they truly cover all areas that have an impact on gender equality and that the understanding is correct. During the final months of the project and beyond, we will work with the municipalities and other institutions involved to implement the actions in the Action Plan, to help them put them into practice, and to liaise with NGOs and other organisations working in the field of gender equality and with an interest in gender mainstreaming.
If we are to truly open eyes to gender equality and not delude ourselves that equality already exists in our country, we need to avoid superficially addressing the issue in municipalities and other institutions and, through advocacy and awareness-raising, ensure that the actions in the Action Plans are of a high quality, practical, feasible and inclusive, ensuring gender mainstreaming in the relevant programmes and activities within the remit of each institution.

At the crossroads of inequalities/discriminations
The project addresses the significant lack of perception and recognition of gender, racial and ethnic stereotypes and norms and related intersectionalities among young people, which exacerbate discrimination. Ignorance of the root causes of discrimination also means lack of recognition, both of which are a first and necessary step for action to be taken in wider society to include people who have experienced intersectional discrimination. We recognise both multiple and intersectional discrimination, including gender, race, colour and ethnicity. Youth workers sometimes address aspects of discrimination, but as separate topics, not together and as a magnifying glass of discrimination. Because of its mission and the values it emphasises, youth work has an important role to play in supporting young people to become aware of the forces that affect their lives and in supporting their equality and access to a decent life, which includes discrimination and the fight against intersectional discrimination. But in the EU, not much attention is focused on youth work and intersectional discrimination, and research also points to a post-colonialist discourse that only exacerbates the problem. If it is not enough that inequalities within the EU have increased in recent years, the Covid-19 pandemic has deepened them on the one hand and exposed them on the other. Social power has been strengthened for a few, while the future of a growing part of the marginalised population will be increasingly uncertain. As an analytical approach, intersectionality allows focusing on the different perspectives of marginalised people, as well as on the systems that create discrimination and inequalities. It is the treatment of society as a heterogeneous group and the consequent lack of a multifaceted approach in the adoption of measures to contain the pandemic that have led to increased inequalities (higher unemployment among women, especially those belonging to the most vulnerable groups, increased violence against women, the closure of schools for children with disabilities and thus their hardships, higher mortality among people of other ethnic and racial minorities due to their poorer socio-economic situation, etc.). It is therefore essential to give youth workers the tools to be able to gain a comprehensive insight and understanding of the workings of society and of all forms of discrimination and their consequences. Hate speech and non-acceptance of difference is so widespread among young people that it occurs on a daily basis, and youth workers have a challenging job in addressing it, so that we are able to work with young people who are cross-sectionally discriminated against, as well as with young people who influence discrimination.
Objectives
– To raise the quality of youth work by addressing intersectional discrimination and developing sensitive, open and critical attitudes related to gender, racism, ethnicity and the intersectionality of these categories,
– To strengthen the knowledge and competences of youth workers in the field of critical learning on these topics,
– To support youth organisations in integrating gender, race, ethnicity and the intersectionality of these aspects into their activities,
– To increase the involvement of stakeholders in the debates.

Reducing energy and transport poverty, with a focus on elderly and women
While necessary to decarbonise the transport and energy sectors and address climate change, stricter environmental policies can have negative social impacts on vulnerable groups who, due to low incomes combined with other vulnerabilities, may not be able to afford the “green transition” and may be exposed to energy or transport poverty. The project will focus on two vulnerable groups, the elderly and women. These two groups already had a higher risk of poverty than other population groups before the introduction of stricter environmental policies. A wide range of disconnected stakeholders in the fields of energy, mobility and social activities pose an additional challenge in addressing this challenge.
Building on a better understanding of the issues and needs of vulnerable groups in the areas of mobility and energy, the ZENPRE project aims to raise awareness, educate and empower members of these groups to alleviate poverty in both areas. At the same time, the project aims to translate the findings into advocacy and networking activities, with the aim of influencing systemic regulation in the areas and raising awareness of the general public on the issues, as well as promoting behavioural change in the areas of personal mobility and energy use.
The project will thus contribute to the environmental and social objectives of reducing both poverty and promoting measures for sustainable energy use and sustainable modes of transport. It will be based on the inclusion of vulnerable groups and will aim to tackle gender inequalities.
The objectives of the project are:
- To improve understanding of the needs of vulnerable groups, women and older people, in tackling energy and transport poverty.
- To connect and empower stakeholders in the field of energy and transport poverty to tackle the issue in the local environment.
- To train stakeholders in direct contact with vulnerable groups to carry out energy and mobility advice.
- Empower representatives of vulnerable groups to address energy and transport poverty.
- To raise awareness among decision- and policy-makers of the real needs of vulnerable groups and the actions needed to effectively address energy and transport poverty.
- Raise awareness of the general public through websites and social networks.
FER will focus on gender mainstreaming and promoting gender equality in energy and transport poverty.

Stičišče Središče – a regional hub of NGOs in the Central Slovenia 2023-2027
FER, in partnership with the lead partner Nefiks, runs the regional NGO hub for Central Slovenia.
The programme of the Hub identifies and addresses both the needs that NGOs have and need to address in their organisations for their own development (communication, strategic planning, financing, networking, etc.), as well as challenges where systemic solutions are needed, policy change, enhanced dialogue between NGOs and local authorities, greater involvement of NGOs in decision-making that is important for their development or for the quality of their activities for the citizens of the municipalities of the Central Slovenia region.
The vision of Stičišče Središče is to remain a key actor in the field of support to NGOs in the Central Slovenia region in a strong partnership, able to respond quickly to the primary needs of NGOs, to effectively moderate advocacy initiatives and to be a co-creator of the cross-sectoral networking that all active NGOs and other organisations in the Central Slovenia region are familiar with.
The values we “live” are accessibility for NGOs, responsiveness, professionalism, active networking, openness to diversity of mission and outlook.
Objectives:
- To strengthen and rejuvenate the non-governmental sector in the Central Slovenia region, which will be able to form, in a long-term, sustainable way (not only through ad hoc actions), those nuclei of society that keep people mentally stable, involved, agile, connected and constructively active,
- To strengthen the advocacy role of the Hub and optimise the cooperation of the 25 municipalities with NGOs,
- To strengthen the networking of NGOs within the sector and with organisations outside the sector, thus working together to address local needs.

Food and water security, and women’s empowerment in times of climate challenges
FER cooperates with 3 refugee-led organizations in Uganda Hope for Children and Women Victims of Violence (HOCW), REAL and KOWED.
Uganda is facing the consequences of climate change, which is negatively affecting farming. It is the latter that contributes the most to greenhouse gases, and poor agricultural practices, together with poor waste disposal practices and inadequate sanitation, are the main contributors to the contamination of water resources. A rapidly growing population and a steady influx of new refugees from neighbouring countries is exacerbating food insecurity and poor access to clean drinking water for the population. Refugee women in Uganda are among the more vulnerable groups, especially urban refugees, who do not receive international assistance. The project will therefore focus on urban refugees, or 80% women refugees in three communities. The project aims to increase resilience to climate change through sustainable food and water provision and women’s empowerment in three predominantly refugee communities in Uganda, creating the conditions for a decent life for 5,000 people.
Improved food security will be achieved through urban farming, mushroom cultivation, aquaculture, beekeeping and the production of eco-briquettes. Access to drinking water will be made possible through the construction of new wells and water filters. Gender-segregated eco-toilets will improve menstrual hygiene for women and girls, together with menstrual products. Women will be provided with shelters in 2 safe locations. The youth centre will provide a space for young people to build a community to fight against climate change and for equality in society. A gender perspective will be integrated in all activities. Women and men will be sensitised on gender-based and sexual violence, sexual and reproductive health, the links between food and water security and gender equality.

More food and less violence
Uganda is host to 1.5 million refugees and has been facing humanitarian crises for decades. Two countries from which refugees come to Uganda (South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo) are on the list of the most endangered countries in 2023. Refugees in Ndejje, where the project will take place, are predominantly from these two countries. Because they are not housed in a camp, they do not receive humanitarian aid, so many are starving. Extreme weather conditions further exacerbate food security. Because of the humanitarian crisis, lack of food security and poverty, the prevalence of sexual and gender-based violence and other exploitation and abuse of the most vulnerable persons increases.
The project aims to increase resilience to humanitarian crises by providing holistic solutions in the field of food security and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence in Ndejje to at least 400 vulnerable families, mainly those forcibly displaced due to uncertain safety. We will ensure conditions for climate-smart agriculture and establish solutions for the food security of 2,600 people who will have the opportunity to grow fruit and vegetables and raise chickens. We will provide social welfare services with accommodation to victims of violence. We will construct a safe house, which will offer comprehensive support to victims of violence and their children, to establish conditions during their stay that will enable them to live safely after being discharged from the safe house.

ModULar Tools for Integrating enhanced natural treatment SOlutions in URban water CyclEs
The overall goal of MULTISOURCE project is to, together with local, national, and international stakeholders, demonstrate a variety of about Enhanced Natural Treatment Solutions (ENTS) treating a wide range of urban waters and to develop innovative tools, methods, and business models that support citywide planning and long-term operations and maintenance of nature-based solutions for water treatment, storage, and reuse in urban areas worldwide.
MULTISOURCE will allow users to identify multiple sources for local water reuse, promote increased uptake of nature-based solutions, and minimize discharge of water that has not received adequate treatment. MULTISOURCE will deliver new knowledge about ENTS and their ability to remove waterborne contaminants and provide effective risk reduction for chemical and biological hazards, as well as their capacity to be integrated into the landscape and contribute to the improvement of urban habitats. The project includes seven pilots treating a wide range of urban waters. Two individual municipalities (Girona, Spain; Oslo, Norway), two metropolitan municipalities (Lyon, France; Milan, Italy), and international partners in Brazil, Vietnam, and the USA will contribute to each of the main project activities: ENTS pilots, risk assessment, business models, technology selection, and the MULTISOURCE Planning Platform. The use of urban archetypes in the Planning Platform will enable users to quickly classify regions (in both developed or developing countries) suitable for the application of nature-based solutions for water treatment (NBSWT) and compare scenarios both with and without NBSWT. This unique approach provides the knowledge, business models, and modular tools that will enable stakeholders to conduct fit-to-purpose, large-scale planning in their local region and, in doing so, promote circularity and sustainable development in the urban water sector and overcome barriers to widespread uptake of nature based solutions for water treatment.Main aims are to:
- demonstrate the pollutant removal and risk abatement capacities of enhanced natural treatment systems, as well as the ecosystem benefits and values they provide;
- enable stakeholders in developed and developing countries, including local municipality and metropolitan areas government staff, to reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and freshwater resources by using MULTISOURCE tools to plan, finance, and implement NBSWT in their region;
- accelerate the uptake of nature-based solutions in urban water management worldwide;
- normalize social equality as an integral target of green infrastructure and smart urban development;
- enhance cross-sectoral international collaboration among governmental staff (both practitioners and policy makers), educators, researchers, and the general public.

Steep population growth, fast urbanisation and climate change are the main reasons for raising demand for water in Uganda, may it be for drinking or for irrigation. In order to achieve the national strategy Uganda’s Vision 2040 a threefold increase of access to water ill be needed, which will not be attainable without efficient management of the environment and water. Due to Covid-19, the demand for clean water has increased even further, as well as issues regarding equitable access to it, which has during the pandemic worsened for women. Due to lockdowns, 51 % of poor urban population has had limited access to water, among them were also refugees from Ndejje. They are not included in national or international humanitarian programmes, which makes them one of the more vulnerable members of the Ugandan society.
As water quantities are limited, efficient management of the environment and water with nature-based solutions, which rehabilitate the environment and are often cheaper than the traditional grey infrastructure, which they support. The project ensures environmental, economic, societal and intergenerational sustainability, as well as gender equality. Its approach to tackling challenges of the refugee communities in Ndejje and Kampala is holistic and an upgrade of already ongoing projects.
The specific goal of the project is to ensure sustainable use of water whilst protecting water and other (re)sources and mainstreaming gender into all project activities, in order to create conditions for decent life of 400 vulnerable families in Ndejje.
The project will enable access to drinking water for 400 household (2600 persons), 3 schools with 700 children, and 2 medical centres with 500 patients; increase food security of 300 households; ensure sanitation for all included households, schools and medical centres as a preventive measure to fight diseases, including Covid-19; create the environment for social entrepreneurship as part of circular economy and; increase social and economic empowerment of the local population in the context of sustainable management of water and sustainable development.

According to the World Bank, climate change in Uganda represent a real threat to poverty eradication in Uganda. Extreme weather events are on the rise and they have a negative impact on agriculture and food security. The constant influx of refugees represents an additional increase in the population, which is in Uganda constantly on the rise, which by itself represents additional pressure on the environment and farm land. Refugees are to a large extent dependent on humanitarian assistance, but it is mainly refugees in settlements that receive such assistance. Urban refugees in Ndejje and Kampala are not beneficiaries of this kind of assistance. According to FAO, in times of humanitarian crises, lack of food security and poverty the incidence of gender based violence increases. SGBV in the first place influences women in their reproductive age, their physical and psychological wellbeing, but it also threatens their ability for economic independence, and contributes to the vicious cycle of poverty. If the mentioned issues would not be addressed, there is a serious threat of acute malnutrition, increased SGBV, higher poverty levels in Ndejje and Kampala.
FER cooperates with refugee-led organization in Uganda Hope for Children and Women Victims of Violence (HOCW). Our common goal is to increase resilience to crises and food security and water for at least 500 families (3200 persons) in Ndejje and Kampala. The project enable beneficiaries to grow local vegetables, cow, hen and fish rearing, which is a highly nutritious combination. We will also provide them with drinking water. Beneficiaries will be educated on integrated farming and will consequently increase their yields, as well as the capacity to adapt to climate change. This will redude the level of crises, which will, together with raised awareness and better medical assistance of the consequence of SGBV, reduce violence against girls and women.

Tackling the root causes of discrimination against women in Albania
In the process of accessing the EU, Albania is passing legislature on the topic of gender equality in order to ensure a higher level of equity. Nevertheless, in its transition, the traditional and patriarchal norms are gaining in importance. This is especially present in the rural areas, such as Prrenjas in Devoll. Traditional norms limit the right to movement – for example, if high schools cannot be found in the village, this can influence the right of girls to continue with their education, which also influences their opportunities to find work. The limited right to movement on its own keeps women in the private sphere, where every second woman is a victim of gender-based violence. As keepers of the home and the family, women are in charge of water and waste management, but because of gender roles have no influence on management and decision-making about water and waste management at the communal levels. The traditional norms despite good new laws prevent progress in the field of gender equality, that is why the issue needs to be addressed at the root causes: values, norms and informal laws. In order to change them it is essential to work with youth, who are more susceptible to change. In parallel, it is necessary to promote the realisation of progressive laws and practices among decision-makers and local authorities, as the subordinate role of women has clear negative consequences for economic and social progress, as well as environmental protection.
FER cooperates with Balkan Center for Cooperation and Develoment (BCCD). The project aims at eliminating the root causes of discrimination against girls and women in Prrenjas and Devoll, due to which they do not have full access to their rights in both the private and public spheres. The norms and values are responsible for keeping the women in a subordinate position, which also negatively influences the economic and social progress of the municipalities. The project will address societal inequalities through the 4 SIGI dimensions. Through the same 4 dimensions, the reasons for discrimination against girls and women, the lack of information for women about waste management, and for better access for girls and women to safe, inclusive and green public spaces. To achieve that, youth trainers will be trained, who will then transfer their knowledge within their respective municipalities. Decision makers at local and national levels will be informed and their awareness will be raised with the aim of ensuring gender mainstreaming into new laws, as well as with the implementation of already existing ones.

Empowerment of Women in Albania to Ensure Equal Opportunities
The project goal is to increase economic independence of women in Puka and to improve position of women in the Albanian society. The project focuses on overcoming uneven distribution of powers between men and women in Albania. 20 unemployed women in the rural municipality of Puka will be introduced and initiated into goat farming process and thus given an opportunity to become self-sufficient by providing them the conditions for, trainingson rearing, processing and marketing of products. In cooperation with a local expert on agriculture and goat farming, it has been estimated that 2 goats per woman are required for the success of the project. Women has been chosen based on the following criteria: interest, experiences, unemployment status or revenue of women and their families . The chosen women will take part in several trainings and mentorships, which will enable them to start successful rearing as well as efficient product sales. For now, women operate as a unit within the partner organization Gender Alliance for Development Centre (GADC), later on, after the development phase, they will establish a cooperative/social enterprise.
The work with young girls and boys is also intended to impact power redistribution within the society. We plan on educating 20 local leaders on gender equality in Puka and Roskovac province as well as in Tirana, providing them with tools for further empowerment of youth in their local environment so they could together tackle power imbalances between men and women. Local leaders will be young people who want to be included and are active in youth activities. Our partner organization the GDAC will ensure that local needs and circumstances are taken into account, in cooperation with Alenka Verbole who previously served as senior expert on gender equality within the OSCE. The project will empower GDAC and its local branch, while supporting strategic functioning, networking and increased membership.

Increased food and drinking water security among refugees and local population in Uganda despite humanitarian crises
FER cooperates with refugee-led organization in Uganda Hope for Children and Women Victims of Violence (HOCW). Our goal is to increase resilience to crisis as well as food and water security for at least 400 people in Ndejje. The project helps strengthen the resilience of the refugee and also local populations of Ndejje in Uganda (near the capital Kampala), mostly women who chronically suffer from being provided with basic nutritional needs due to ever longer periods of drought. The project enable them to grow local vegetables and hen rearing, which is a highly nutritious combination. We will provide them with drinking water, raise their awareness on dietary requirements and preventive actions to fight climate change and related natural disasters, while stressing the importance of women in this regard. The local agriculture organization is involved as a consultant, since it applies a very efficient agricultural approach for achieving food security in response to climate change – Climate Smart Agriculture, promoted by FAO. This approach sustainably increases the productivity of farms, adapts and strengthens resilience to climate change while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We believe this is the way to achieve sustainable food and water supply for the populations while increase resilience towards crises.

Escape and flight
FER developed an outdoor educational game in order to bring refugee stories closer to the youth of Slovenia. The project makes beneficiaries understand the realities of refugees and the reasons for their flight, which changes them from “the unknown and to be feared of” into something they can relate to and thus accept. Two approaches were used: 1) “the identifiable victim effect”, which relies on the fact that a specific person is easier to empathize with than a number, thus stimulating positive feelings towards refugees, 2) “gamification” approach, whereby game principles and elements are used in a non-game context. The 1,5 hours journey is an outdoor version of the “escape room”. The challenges that participants are facing on their journey are based on a true flight of a refugee that traveled from Afghanistan to Ljubljana in a time period of 4 months. All escape experiences end in a lively discussion with the so-called game keeper, during which the details of the game are discussed. Participants also watch short interview with Ayene, a refugee from South Sudan, that talks about the long and dangerous road from South Sudan, first to Egypt and Israel, and later to Uganda. Through the conversation, the participants are aware of the connection between their escape and the flight of a real refugee. Based on conversations with the players, short scenes from the escape game, and conversations with refugees, a video Escape and flight was created that aims at changing thinking patterns on the refugee crisis among the broader public. We’ve conducted interviews with refugees in Slovenia and Uganda to show their lives, their personal stories and their fears. The use of videos is a powerful tool to raise awareness. They entertain, educate and inspire. The combination of moving images, music, text and voice-over has the potential to transmit a lot of information and simultaneously convey and stir emotions. This is the reason we decided to choose the medium of video to bring refugees closer to people.
