Chairman s Foreword

2015 was a busy year, with Commissioners working extremely hard to take forward an extensive review of Jersey Overseas Aid Commission s policies. The world of development has changed significantly since  we  started  making  grants  in 1968:  international  understanding  of what  works  and  what  does  not  has become more evident based and more is demanded of development agencies to ensure that their interventions are as effective as possible.

It is increasingly recognised that donors have a responsibility both to their beneficiaries and to their taxpayers, to maximise the impact and sustainability of their aid. The Organisation for  Economic  Co-operation  and  Development  (OECD)  has been leading efforts to ensure that aid compliments rather than  undermines  local  efforts,  builds  on  successes  and  is coordinated, transparent and efficient.

Commissioners have been ensuring that JOA moves with the times by taking steps to align our grant-making programme with these principles of good donorship. We are reforming the way we select and scrutinise projects, and introducing new guidelines and standards for applicants, which has required many  hours  of  work  for  Commissioners  and  the  Executive Officer and I would like to thank them for their continued

commitment. The appointment of Doug Melville (see profile on  page  4)  as  a  new  Commissioner  in  2015  has  greatly assisted this transformation. As well as being Jersey s Financial Ombudsman, Doug served on the Board of Oxfam in Canada for seven years, so brings with him invaluable experience of guiding a professional development organisation.

What will this change mean in practice? We will increasingly focus our development efforts on fewer countries, chosen not only where needs are greatest but where lower levels of corruption mean that aid can have more of an impact. We will  fund  bigger,  longer-term  programmes  and  strengthen our links with the wider development community. We will uphold the highest possible standards from our international and local partners, aided in the latter case by the forthcoming introduction of a Jersey Charities Law. We will ensure that where possible the projects JOA fund are properly evaluated, that  lessons  are  learnt  and  good  practice  spread.  We  will also aim to strengthen our links with the people of Jersey by publishing more information about the Commission s work on our (soon-to-be-revamped) website. Indeed, all are welcome to  visit  our  new  office,  opened  in  the  autumn  at  Cyril  Le Marquand House, to hear more about our activities and plans.

Highlights of 2015 also included the successful implementation of  three  Community  Work  Programmes.  Volunteers  from Jersey travelled to Bangladesh, Uganda and Zambia to make tangible improvements to the lives of some of the world s poorest  people,  having  raised  funds  to  do  so  from  their families, colleagues and communities. As well as the practical

benefit of the school facilities they constructed, it is a powerful statement that every year ordinary people from a small island off Northwest Europe will sacrifice their time and hard-earned money to assist strangers in need. JOA is extremely grateful to these volunteers and all who supported them.

The  single  greatest  act  of  generosity  this  year  and  more evidence (if it were needed) of an Islander s great concern for those less fortunate than ourselves, was the allocation of the bequest to JOA of £147k by Margaret Fenlon Ward . Stewardship of such a gift is not taken lightly and Commissioners carefully chose two projects in Uganda and The Gambia which already have close links to Jersey, where Margaret s legacy will have a lasting impact on the health and education. Commissioner Le Troquer recently visited The Gambia and saw for himself how the Jersey Gambia Schools Trust is changing lives in one of Africa s least developed countries.

Our  eyes  have  also  been  focused  on  the  Middle  East  this year, where Syria s civil war claimed ever more victims and displaced ever more people from their homes. Jersey played its  part  in  alleviating  some  of  this  suffering  by  allocating £650,000 to fund humanitarian projects for Syrian refugees in Jordan. These projects were conducted by three of our most trusted partners, the British Red Cross, Oxfam and UNICEF and incorporated nutrition, maternal health, education, and the winterisation of accommodation in Za atari refugee camp. Accompanied by the Chief Minister, I visited Jordan in the spring of 2016 and saw for myself the positive effect these grants had on so many desperate people. With no end to the

crisis in sight, we are now considering how best to continue our support in 2016.

JOA will always be a relatively small donor but our activities make a profound difference to many people s lives. As we strive to get even better at what we do, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have played a part in our work over the past year.

Cambodia - Impact Foundation

Establishing ENT department and operating theatre £249,253

A three-year grant has enabled Impact Foundation to construct and equip an ENT (ear, nose and throat) department and operating theatre at Chey Chumneas Hospital in Kandal province. By providing essential training for surgeons and nurses it addresses the dire shortage of Cambodian medical professionals who have ENT skills making a significant contribution towards the scaling up of hearing and ear care services in Cambodia. Over the three years 17,480 patients will directly benefit from ENT treatment and surgery, including operations to restore hearing. Up to 470,000 men, women and children in rural areas will also be able to access primary hearing and ear care services at their local health centres.

Grant Aid Ethiopa - Orbis

2015 THREE YEAR  Expanding Eye Care Services £249,048

PROGRAMMES A joint application in conjunction with Amref, this project aims to bring together both the individual areas of expertise of both

agencies to implement fully a programme that would eliminate blindness from trachoma in Jinka Town and two woredas of South Omo Zone of southern Ethiopia. The focus of Orbis is on the surgery and antibiotics component whilst Amref is focussing on the implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene components.

Nepal - The Leprosy Mission

Capacity building for leprosy services west of Nepal £246,352

The Leprosy Mission aims to screen 8,200 people for leprosy over the next three years, through skin test clinics run through the agency s established clinics and hospitals. An additional 800 people will also be screened through mobile skin camps. This will improve the health and quality of life of people affected by leprosy, neuritis and ulcers by equipping and training to reduce the prevalence of leprosy and associated disabilities.

This has facilitated collaboration between local community and  faith  leaders,  utility  companies,  councillors  and community members to discuss not only sanitation but wider issues affecting slums.

The  project  has  effectively  engaged  the  community  and created community ownership over the project s processes and impacts through sensitisation and training.

2015 SINGLE YEAR PROJECT

EXTRACTS TAKEN FROM AGENCY S REPORT

Benin

UNICEF

Bringing  education  to  marginalised children.

In  2015,  the  Jersey  Overseas  Aid  Commission  provided £99,316 to bring education to marginalised children in Benin.

Benin had one of the world s lowest primary and secondary school enrolment rates before school fees were abolished in  2006.  Despite  school  enrolment  increasing  since  2006, substantial barriers to children s education continue to persist. Many  parents  cannot  afford  the  costs  of  school  materials such as textbooks and uniforms and this creates a barrier for children to access education. Violence against children is highly prevalent in schools and this can lead to high drop- out rates, which damages children s psychological well-being and impacts on their grades. Water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in Benin s schools are extremely poor and this poses serious risks to a child s health, increasing the risk of diarrhoea and waterborne diseases (only 5% of people have access to sanitation facilities in rural areas). Schools with inadequate water  and  sanitation  facilities  usually  have  the  poorest attendance  records  and  highest  dropout  rates.  Adolescent girls in particular suffer from poor sanitation facilities as many girls are reluctant to continue their schooling when facilities are  not  private,  safe  or  simply  not  available.  In  addition, schools in the four project districts have a pupil-teacher ratio

of 55 to 1. These factors play a major role in contributing to  the low school completion rate in the four project districts,  which averages 42% compared to 77% nationally.

The  project  presented  aimed  to  improve  education  for  marginalised  children  in  Benin  by  improving  teaching,  resources  and  facilities  in  over  250  schools.  Vulnerable  school children would be provided with learning materials  including textbooks, exercise books, uniforms, and pencils,  to address issues of accessing education such as the cost  of school supplies. Teachers were to be trained on gender  awareness,  children s  rights  and  preventing  violence  to  reduce children s experience of violence that often prevents  them from attending school. Youth committees were to be  set up to empower children, enable children to address issues  affecting their school life and increase children s participation  within school. Water and sanitation facilities in schools will be  improved, including provisions for children with disabilities.  

Support  from  Jersey  Overseas  Aid  funded  the  provision  of  school  materials,  training  of  teachers,  set  up  of  youth  committees  and  parent  teacher  associations  and  the  construction of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities. A total  of 46,786 people benefitted from this project.

2015 Disaster Aid

Philippines Typhoon

On 28 December, Tropical storm Jangmi (Seniang) brought heavy rains and intense flooding in seven regions of the central Philippines affecting more than half a million people, some of them displaced seeking cover in schools and community facilities converted into evacuation centres.

JOA granted Habitat for Humanity £29,808 for the provision of shelter repair materials and technical assistance to 81 beneficiary households with the priority going to vulnerable families.

Malawi - Flooding

More than 121,000 people were displaced as a result of the devastating floods in Malawi in January 2015.

At least 350 schools were destroyed, damaged or occupied by displaced people, depriving 300,000 children of access to education. JOA granted Christian Aid £30,000 for the provision of sanitation, tarpaulins and cooking utensils, UNICEF £30,000 for the provision of essential medicines, wash and hygiene kits, tents and tarpaulins, therapeutic food and milk for treating malnutrition, education supplies, and child protection to aid children s psychosocial recovery and Tearfund £30,000 for food rations, cooking utensils and shelter provision.

Mozambique - Flooding

Two weeks of heavy rains since the beginning of January 2015 triggered large scale flooding in central Mozambique and the northern provinces of ZambØzia, Nampula and Cabo Delgado.

Transport and electrical infrastructure; water supply systems, schools, clinics and homes were affected, causing huge challenges to accessing some of the most vulnerable. JOA granted Save the Children £30,000 for the provision of education kits, teachers and schools, Tearfund £29,472 for the distribution of basic relief items including maize for making flour, beans, oil, salt, mosquito nets, water purifiers and soap to help prevent the health risks associated with

poor nutrition, lack of shelter and contaminated water and Plan UK £30,000 for the provision of emergency shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) support, education materials, food items and nutrition support, health kits and medical supplies and child protection and psychosocial support.

Sri Lanka - Flooding

1.1million people throughout Sri Lanka were affected by floods caused by torrential rain late December 2014.

Homes and livelihoods had been destroyed and urgent help was required to provide clean water and adequate food and support to assist people in rebuilding their lives. JOA granted Oxfam £30,000 for the provision of access to emergency food and safe clean water noting that the needs of women and children would be a priority, as well as those individuals who had lived in districts which had been affected by both flooding and drought.

Kenya - Cholera

A suspected case of cholera was reported in the capital of Kenya, Nairobi, at the end of December 2014 and was confirmed in January 2015.

1,361 cases were later confirmed in Nairobi, Migori, Homa Bay, Lamu and Kisii counties. Neighbouring counties were at risk of cholera outbreaks as the number of cases continued to rise. The province of Nyanza, which includes Migori and Homa Bay, was the most severely affected area, with 80% of the confirmed cases reported. JOA granted Plan UK £30,000 for clean water, aquatabs and sanitation provision.

Burma - Response to Internally Displaced People

Heavy fighting had broken out between the Burmese Army and ethnic Kokang rebels in February 2015.

Approximately 14,250 civilians had been displaced believed to be trapped between the two fighting parties. JOA granted Tearfund £19,263 to address basic needs of 1,551 people.

Democratic  Republic  of  Congo  (DRC)  -  Response  to Internally Displaced People

On-going violence and conflict for several years in the Central African Republic had  forced  many  families  to  leave  their  villages  to  live  in  refugee  camps  in neighbouring DRC.

Thousands of families had left without food, clothes, kitchen equipment or items for sanitation. JOA granted Christian Aid £30,000 for the provision of non-food items such as jerry cans, soap, mosquito nets and female hygiene kits for

The teddy knitting began and a bag was added, increasing the  play value. Teddies for Tragedies began in Guilford in 1991,  now there are several branches around the country and across  the world.

The  teddies  are  sent  to  refugee  camps,  orphanages  and  hospitals in Africa, Eastern Europe and South America, in fact  anywhere where there is a need.

Very often one of these teddies can be the first thing that a  child owns. It encourages use of imagination, manipulative  skills, learning of colours etc, while the bag can store his or her  treasures, gives a home for the teddy and is even sometimes  used to carry school books!

It is very important that the teddies are knitted to the standard  pattern, as variations can cause whole consignments to be  confiscated by Customs officials. The teddy should be a toy  that will be safe in a child s hands, sufficiently uniform not  to excite rivalry and to reassure Customs officers that the  consignment contains nothing to concern them.

The  Jersey  Gambia  Schools  Trust  a long  term  established  partner  of  the Commission  was  awarded  a  grant  of £55,103  for  the  construction  of  a  two storey classroom block at the Jersey Upper Basic  and  Technical  Senior  Secondary School, Sohm Village, the Gambia.

JOA  first  worked  with  the  Jersey  Gambia  School s  Trust over 15 years ago when the first application received was for  the  sinking  of  wells.  Since  then  JOA  has  supported several projects including sending a team of volunteers to undertake a community work project in 2004 and various £=£ grants. Having made a sustained contribution at Sohm, the Commission agreed that funding be allocated from the Margaret Fenlon Ward Bequest to construct a two story, six classroom block at the Jersey Technical Upper School and Senior Secondary School (JYUSSS).

A need was clearly demonstrated as further to consultation with  the  Region  2  Directorate  and  Board  of  Governors  of the JTUSSS the optimum number of students should be one hundred per year intake giving a total of six hundred students each year. At present the intake is four hundred. The school, 23km from Brikama the nearest town, operates a double shift system.

Commissioner Le Troquer visited the project in March 2016 and reported Having been met on the road by a large group of enthusiastic pupils I was given an escorted tour of the whole school. I was able to visit and view all previous JOA funded  projects  within  the  school  complex.  However,  the highlight was being able to visit the building site where the six new classrooms were being constructed. The new building is in the centre of the school complex and workmen were on site during my visit. The construction had reached first floor level and the new classrooms are on schedule to open in September 2016. As with previous JGST projects payment for the work is made by instalments as and when each element of the construction is completed. A percentage of the funding will be retained until the Trust is satisfied with the completed building. Members of the JGST ensure constant monitoring of the building work by both their local representatives and during regular visits when in the Gambia .
