(A) Project/Organization: Women's Empowerment Project by
Almis Welfare Association

Problem to be Addressed: The Almis Welfare Association
Women's Empowerment Project aims to teach basic literacy and
self-sufficiency skills and promote gender equity and
community development through providing women with basic
literacy and tailoring skills. The long-term objective is
improved literacy and self-sufficiency among women and to
train women to be tailors in order to increase economic and
employment opportunities for women in Hargeisa.

Summary of Proposed Program: The Women's Empowerment Project
will train 250 adult women in basic literacy,
self-sufficiency skills, and tailoring/sewing skills over an
18-month period in Hargeisa. The Almis Welfare Association
requests $64,600 in funding and will contribute $25,000 in in

kind contributions, for implementation of a project totaling
approximately $89,600.

Project Description (activities, outcomes, performance
measures): Literacy and related training will be offered to
women in the target area over a period of 18 months. Teachers
will conduct classes in literacy and tailoring skills on a
daily basis, scheduled to accommodate women's daily life
activities. Specific project activities and courses include
the following: basic literacy skills; intermediate reading
skills; beginning composition; reading on health care for
women and children; basic math; leadership training; and
tailoring skills.

The direct beneficiaries of the project will be the 250 women
participants in this project as well as the tutors and
trainers who will receive experience. At the end of the
period, an evaluation will be conducted to assess the
achievements of the program and determine future goals.

The general objectives of the program are (i) to increase
literacy and vocational skills among women in Hargeisa; (ii)
to implement literacy projects and additional vocational
skills for women with a view toward strengthening their
effectiveness in community development and preparing them to
participate in income-earning activities; (iii) to ensure
that women in the target area have the opportunity to engage
in economic activities and acquire vocational knowledge and
skills; and, (iv) to increase their role in the community
leadership.

The specific project objectives include (i) recruiting
project staff - three tutors and four trainers - as
facilitators of the literacy and vocational skills program
(priority will be given to female teachers); (ii)

incorporation of 250 women residents of Hargeisa into the
project and achievement of literacy and vocational skills;
(iii) assessment of participants at the end of the program.
Those who fail the test or drop out will be given additional
support appropriate to their needs; and (iv) incorporation of
gender equity into all aspects of the projects.

The performance measures for the project are based around the
project's core objective of increasing literacy knowledge and
tailoring skills. The program also aims to achieve the
less-measurable outcomes of increasing the self-esteem and
confidence of participants. Ninety percent of participants
will be assessed at the end of the program. The project aims
to have 80 percent of participants (200 women) within 18
months be considered as literate and have basic skills in
tailoring according to criteria set by the Community
Education Committee.

From beginning to end, the project will be monitored by the
project supervisor who will be responsible for managing the
program and the work of the evaluators. The supervisor will
also give monthly progress reports to the Almis Welfare
Association board of directors.

Management of funds will be the responsibility of the project
supervisor, under the supervision of the treasurer of Almis
Welfare Association. At the end of the project, an expense
report will be made available to funders and any interested
parties.

During the period of meetings with the community groups, the
supervisor will collect feedback from the participants and
the facilitators (teachers),with suggestions for improving
the project, in the monthly and final reports.

To monitor the impact on the beneficiaries, Almis Welfare
Association will take the following steps:

- Keep detailed records for all teachers and participants;
- Conduct monthly review meetings;
- Conduct appraisals for both teachers and participants;
- Design and print formats for monitoring the progress;
- Interact with the community to ensure their involvement;
- Conduct exams for the participants to check their progress
and performance; and,
- Verify the registers and reports from time to time.

The desired outcomes are (i) increased literacy and
vocational skills among women in the target area; (ii)
greater confidence and self-sufficiency; and, (iii) improved
self-esteem.

(B) Project/Organization: Nomad International Women's Project

Problem to be Addressed: The Nomad International Women's
Project aims to empower Somali women to participate in local
decision-making processes in order to make Somali women
informed political actors in the county's democracy. The
project will focus on training women to add their voice to
local peace and conflict resolution talks, in the
establishment and delivery of local services (particularly in
health and justice services),and in local policy and
decision-making processes. The project also aims to raise
awareness of local relevant leaders and decision-makers of
women's participation in developing effective policies and
services at all level of local governance.

Summary of the Project Proposed: Nomad International will run
leadership training to give Somali women the necessary skills
and confidence to effectively represent various women's
issues and to engage in the full-range of policy debates that
take place in various levels of the Somaliland government,
including local peace and reconciliation initiatives,
establishment of public services, policy-making, shaping
existing services and policies, advocating for women's needs
to be addressed, and representation of women's issues. The
training will focus on the following skills: negotiation,
representation, consultation, conflict resolution,
communication, and campaigning. The training will target
women who are community leaders, politicians, faith group
leaders, professionals, civil servants and other women with
leadership aspirations.

Proposed Project (activities, outcomes, and performance
measures): Sixty women will receive the above-mentioned
training. Among those trained, ten will receive additional
train-the-trainer training so that they will be able to train
other women in the focus skills. The training will be
divided into three semesters, in which twenty women will
participate. An additional two months of training will be
offered to those receiving the train-the-trainers courses.
The project will run for 13 months in Somaliland. The
project also includes one month of preparation and one month
of evaluation. In addition, the project will organize a
three-day seminar for local leaders and policy-makers to
increase awareness of women's issues and encourage women's
participation in local governance.

The outcome of Nomad International's project will be
increasing women's participation and influence in front line
decision-making processes, policy making, service delivery,
development, planning, and conflict resolution initiatives in
Somaliland. Through increased women's participation, women's
issues and needs will be more effectively addressed and more
integrated into service-delivery decisions at all levels.

Nomad International will measure the project's performance by
evaluating the increase in the number of women who
participate in local governance decisions, the number of
service-delivery decisions influence by women, the number of
issues campaigned by women, the number of decision-making
opportunities encouraging women's participation, feedback
from training participants, and feedback from local leaders
and decision-makers.

(D) Project/Organization: Somali Women's Cultural Initiative
by Kayd (Somali Artists and Culture)

Problem to Be Addressed: Kayd's Women's Cultural Initiative
aims to increase women's literacy and political empowerment
by supporting female writers and cultural events focused on
women's issues.

Summary of Proposed Program: The Somali Women's Cultural
Initiative 2010-11 seeks to promote literacy, female
leadership, and economic opportunity while addressing
gender-based violence (GBV) issues and women's empowerment
issues through increasing the public space for women in the
arts. The proposed project will deliver one year of cultural
activities relevant to issues facing Somali women,
culminating in a cultural festival based in Somaliland during
the summer of 2011. The activities will include creative
activities in support of women writers, publication of two
books (a collection of stories by great Somali women writers
and a collection of short stories and poems by new Somali
female writers); presentations by well-known Somali female
authors living in the Diaspora; and, a Somali Women's
Festival in Hargeisa, Somaliland during the summer of 2011.

Project Description (including specific activities, outcomes,
and performance measures): The project will deliver one year
of activities relating to arts and culture relevant to the
issues facing Somali women and will include the following
activities: collecting stories by well-known, largely
unpublished Somali female writers; events to encourage young
female talent; theater presentations featuring women writers
and actors; workshop to discuss and critique literature by
female writers; lectures by prominent Somali Diaspora
writers; and discussion groups on music and poetry. The
climax of the project will be the three-day Somali Women's
Cultural Festival, modeled after the successful Somali
Week/Mooge Festivals which Kayd has organized in London and
Hargeisa. The festival will have a broad combination of
poetry, debates on development and social change, literature,
music, film and other media, all of which will focus around
the theme of gender balance and freedom of expression. The
festival will call on Somali intellectuals to re-engage in
cultural works and also engage with females (youth, artists,
writer and journalists) to re-popularize culture, theater,
and music with ordinary people.

Kayd's desired outcomes are to bring back into people's
consciousness the importance that art and artistic
expressions have played in Somali culture and to promote and
encourage the role of women in the community to illustrate
and thereby promote alleviation of the constraints they face
in their lives. Specifically, the project aims to:

- Develop intercontinental links between females in the
Diaspora and Somalia to develop the culture of female Somalis
living in Somali territories and in the Diaspora;

- Creating a vibrant platform from which Somali women can
come together to enjoy performance, celebrate their culture,
learn, discuss and debate themes surrounding gender and
artistic freedom of expression; and,

- Develop literacy and an interest in reading amongst women.

The project's performance measure will be as follows: reviews
of the ten arts events to be delivered over the course of the
project; development and presentation of the two
publications; and the mounting of the three-day summer
festival.

people; (iii) production of a magazine for the Somali Week
Festival and for the sister festival in Somaliland (the Mooge
Festival and Hargeisa International Book Fair). The
following institutions have supported Kayd's programming: BBC
Somali section, VOA (Voice of America),the Frank Haines
Memorial Trust, the United Nations Development Program
(UNDP),the UK Arts Council, SOAS Somali Student Union, and
various media Somali media houses.

--------------

(E) Project/Organization: Egal Literacy Project by the
Institute for Female Education and Development (IFED)

Problem to be Addressed: The Egal Literacy Project seeks to
improve women's basic literacy and basic math through free
adult education courses offered to women in Hargeisa,
Somalia. The literacy and math curriculum will also carry
themes drawn from Islamic teachings about promotion of
women's education and involvement in social, economic, and
political life to support women's empowerment.

Summary of Proposed Program: The Egal Literacy Project will
open a literacy center in Hargeisa, Somalia, specifically and
exclusively designed to teach women basic literacy and math
skills. IFED plans to generate interest and awareness through
targeted radio advertisements and through leveraging its
already established women's groups. A key component of the
course will include train-the-trainers education so that
women in the program will be in a position to transmit the
literacy and math skills they learn to other women in their
social and family groups.

Project Description (activities, outcomes, performance
measures): The main activity will be literacy and basic math
courses offered for free five mornings a week in the center.
Two courses will run concurrently to meet the needs of basic
and more advanced learners, offered in a facility IFED plans
to rent. IFED plans to train 90 women on a first-come,
first-served basis in three-month semesters. Four semesters
will be offered during the 12-month duration of the project.
Upon signing up for the courses, each woman will receive an
assessment of her individual literacy and math skills and
will be placed in an appropriate level. In order to assess

the outcome of increased basic literacy and math skills, each
student will undergo a final assessment. IFED also plans to
follow up with students after completion of the course to see
how they use the skills learned. Project performance
measures will include data on demand for courses, student
attendance, student performance on final assessments as
compared to entry assessments, and qualitative data about
impact on lifestyle. The qualitative data about the impact
on the women's lifestyle will also be used to make
assessments on how empowered the women feel after completion
of the program. The curriculum will also encourage passing
on the skills learned to other women. IFED will survey
successful students on the volunteer projects they undertake.
This funding will provide the necessary seed money for the
initial start of the program. IFED plans to rent out the
facilities to other women's groups and civil organizations in
the afternoons and evenings, as the IFED project will only
use the instructional facilities in the mornings, in order to
fund continuation of the program.

Organization Description: Founded in 2008, the Institute for
Female Education and Development (IFED) was set up to create
education projects that will enable the women of Somaliland
to make contributions to the reconstruction and development
of Somalia. Registered as an NGO in Somaliland, IFED seeks
to promote Islamic teachings that encourage women's
education, by furthering women's involvement in private
sector ventures, and by advocating for government and
business policies that reducing the "absenteeism" of women in
commercial and political life in Somalia. IFED started as
home-based women's groups and networks and is currently
working to open a women's boarding school in Hargeisa through
the African Education Trust, a UK-based charity. The Egal
Literacy Project will be an expansion of IFED's current
programming. Mrs. Odowa Nielsen, as project director, is
uniquely poised to deliver on the curriculum, oversight and
operation of this project because of her background in
setting up female genital mutilation (FGM) clinics in the UK
for the Somali Diaspora community and her work as a mental
health care professional in the UK working to help Somali
immigrants adjust to life in the UK. Mrs. Odowa Nielsen will
serve as the Project Director and will be based in Hargeisa
for the duration of the project.
