Project context. WHV undertakes a range of workforce development activities to build the capacity of the workforce in gender equity, prevention of violence against women, and women’s health. These activities include the design and delivery of a suite of training options, in both face-to- face and online contexts. WHV is also implementing a two-year project to develop accredited training in gender equity. This project will develop up to eight units of competency in gender equity for accreditation, as well as training and assessment resources, designed to build knowledge and skills in gender equity across a broad range of disciplines and sectors, including both mainstream/generalist and specialist organisations. The units of competency and training materials will be informed by an applied research program (led by Monash University) and tested through a pilot to be delivered by RMIT University and two Learn Local Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). The project will involve close collaboration with seven partners (Adult Community Education Victoria, RMIT University, Women with Disabilities Victoria, Coonara Community House, Yarrawonga Neighbourhood House, Xxxx City Council and Monash University), as well as a broader advisory group and other stakeholders.
Project context. How does the project contribute to wider strategies and policies? Please describe the project“s contribution to relevant strategies and policies at different levels ”EU/national/regional); in particular, those concerning the thematic scope of the project and the participating regions. Besides contributing to the overall objectives of the Central Europe programme ”improved transport makes Central Europe a better place to work and live) and the EU 2020 strategy ”reduction of the carbon footprint by strengthening collective transport), RUMOBIL will actively support the goals of the EU White Paper on Transport and the Directive 2010/40/EU on Intelligent Transport Systems ”ITS). The White Paper ”Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area) rightfully outlined that in addition to trans-European transport networks ”TEN-T), further bottlenecks remain especially in the coverage of peripheral areas with energy-efficient transport modes. Public transport linking these isolated regions to transport hubs towards the European and national transport networks play a crucial role in that regard. Moreover, RUMOBIL focuses on elaborating, testing and piloting novel information and communication technologies ”ITS). Here, RUMOBIL will capitalise and update previous results of the EDITS and QUALIST projects ”CENTRAL EUROPE 2007-2013) when designing regional experimentations in that regard. Moreover, on national and regional levels, RUMOBIL will make further contributions to fulfilling objectives defined by regional and national policies including the provision of high quality public transport services to all citizens ”e.g. DE: "Nahverkehrsplan Sachsen-Anhalt", SK: "Rozvoj verejnej dopravy namiesto individuálnej dopravy - Development of Public transport instead of individual car transport"; CZ: White Paper Public Transport Policy 2015–2020 - Bílá kniha – koncepce veřejné dopravy 2015–2020; PL: Regional Transport Plan for Mazovia Region - Plan zrównowazonego rozwoju publicznego transport zbiorowego dla Województwa Mazowiekciego) or specialised strategies ”f. ex. "Rahmenplan zur Einführung und Nutzung Intelligenter Verkehrssysteme" of Saxony-Anhalt, "Plán dopravní obsluhy území vlaky celostátní dopravy" for long-distance train services in the Czech Republic). Please indicate if the project contributes to macro-regional strategies and, if applicable, describe its contribution”s).

Project context. The Global Environment Outlook11 (GEO) project is led and financed by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). The time horizon is up to the year 2050. The overall aim is environment and development, especially on intra and intergeneration equity and addressing inter-linkages between environmental issues such as air and water pollution, land degradation, climate change and biodiversity loss.
Project context. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment12 project is coordinated by UNEP. The project provides a time horizon up to the year 2100 with its focus on ecosystems and sustainability. It estimates factors at local, regional and global level, which can directly and indirectly affect 12 xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx human-well-being and ecosystems. A driver is any factor that changes an aspect of ecosystem. The assessment develops scenarios, which connect possible changes in drivers with human demand for ecosystem services. These demands are then linked to the future of services themselves and to the aspects of human welfare, which depend on these services. The indirect drivers of change include demographic, economic, sociopolitical, science and technology, cultural and religious factors. Direct drivers include changes in local land use and coverage, introduction or removal of species, technology adaptation and use, external inputs, harvest and resource consumption, climate change, natural, physical and biological drivers.
Project context. The COCONUT19 project (Understanding effects of land use Changes on ecosystems to halt loss of biodiversity due to habitat destruction, fragmentation and degradation) ran from November 2006 to April 2009 with the aim to provide a decision basis to meet the EU target to halt loss of biodiversity by 2010 and beyond and to improve understanding on how terrestrial biodiversity is affected by historic and current land use changes. The project horizon was 2030.
Project context. The European Commission (EC), to further contribute to the Rio+20 agenda, is undertaking a broad range of activities to accelerate the transition towards a green economy. An important goal of these activities is to assist business communities in greening their operations. This requires a clear understanding of green business opportunities and associated costs, as well as of how to plan, design and operationalize green transition strategies in private enterprises. Yet, familiarity with these aspects of the green economy transition among business communities is often limited, for two reasons:

Project context. According to the latest global estimates presented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2012, there were 168 million children worldwide engaged in child labor, accounting for almost 11 percent of the child population as a whole. According to these estimates, 85 million children – more than half of all child laborers – are engaged in hazardous work, directly endangering their health, safety and moral development.2 Child laborers number some 77.7 million in Asia and the Pacific, 59 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, 12.5 million in Latin America and the Caribbean and 9.2 million in the Middle East and North Africa. Since 1995, the U.S. Congress has appropriated over $900 million to USDOL for efforts to combat exploitive child labor internationally. This funding has been used to support technical cooperation projects in more than 90 countries around the world. Technical cooperation projects funded by USDOL range from targeted action programs in specific sectors of work to more comprehensive programs that support national efforts to eliminate child labor. USDOL has also designed some projects to focus primarily on strengthening policies on child labor, education, and sustainable livelihoods, and on building the capacity of national institutions to combat child labor and address its root causes. In particular, these projects, including the project that is subject to this evaluation, are designed to support meaningful efforts by host governments and other relevant stakeholders to implement country level actions identified as important for progress in the fight against child labor in the USDOL’s Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor report (also known as the Trade and Development Act [TDA] report).
