17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal

Voices of Chinese Overseas (VOCO)

Following the Belt and Road initiative, the footprint of Chinese people is now across the world: Africa, South America, Southeast Asia… Who are they really? What are they doing? What kind of life are they living? How are they integrating? Overtime, international organizations and international media have had a lot of misunderstandings towards them.

Since China House’s foundation, it has conducted extensive research on Chinese people living abroad. Researchers investigated their lives and work profoundly, to understand all aspects of their life, and realistically documented their condition through articles and videos. This information is then spread to help the world gain an objective understanding.

The project's impact:
• Investigating the current conditions and challenges faced by Chinese mining companies in Africa in collaboration with WWF, and presenting a research report on the Chinese mining industry.
• Collaborating with the John Hopkins University to research the actual conditions of Chinese enterprises in Kenya facing labor issues.
• Cooperating with TRAFFIC, an international wildlife conservation organization, to complete a research report on the topic of the Chinese diaspora in Uganda and the wildlife trade. This investigates the relationships between Chinese residents in Africa and wildlife protection.
• In Ethiopia, China House investigates the corporate social responsibility of Chinese factories and the real conditions in Chinese communities. China House initiated the “Voice of Chinese Overseas” (VOCO) project, and organized students to create the related website (vocochina.org).

Overseas Women Protection Project

The Overseas Women Protection Project, launched by the SRP, is a long-term volunteer project that has vulnerable overseas Chinese women as its main target of assistance. The project takes the problem of domestic violence as its main focus, and it strives to create a global aid network with Belgium as its starting point, to help victims protect their rights and extricate themselves from the predicament. Through the collection and compilation of information and resources, and on the basis of long-term cooperation with a variety of organizations, bodies and expert consultant, the project will provide linguistic, psychological, medical and legal support through various national outlets and establish a safe and convenient online platform where requests for help can be matched.

This project is dedicated to improving the lives of the women in the target group, while stressing their self-empowerment, and realizing a virtuous cycle of mutual support through the community. The project’s pilot scheme started in July 2020 in Belgium, and it is forecasted to cover the 30 countries with most overseas Chinese in the world within two years. By August 2020 the project had 125 participating volunteers, and it had calculated the number of overseas Chinese in different countries, estimated the potential number of help-seekers, and it had set up legal support, medical support, and women’s aid organizations, information on overseas Chinese circles, a databank on asylum networks. It has already provided help to 23 women coming from countries including Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France and the Netherlands.

01: No Poverty

Philippines UMI program

In 2005, Marinduque Province came in third place in a ranking of the regions of the Philippines with the scarcest forest resources made by the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources of the Philippines. In order to tackle deforestation, Marinduque Province started programs of tree planting and a highland development project to implement the National Green Plan and the Community Forest Management Act. In the National Green Plan, the local government approved the rent of 369 acres of land to the United Marinduquenians Inc. (UMI), a local company, in the use of forest recovery. Part of the land will also be used to plant cash crops.

The SPR Philippines Program aims at collaborating with UMI to carry out forest recovery projects, encourage the planting and processing of cash crops and develop the tourist economy. In the meanwhile, by creating new industrial sectors, the SPR Philippines Program will create new job opportunities to benefit and empower the local residents, promote the local sustainable development goals and achieve multi-agent themed networks between China and the Philippines.

Program Objectives:

Protecting the local environment and ecosystem through planting trees – planting cash crops (mainly cocoa trees) and trees, improving the local living standards – creating employment opportunities through activities such as crop farming and tourist farms and increasing the local income – imparting professional agricultural technologies, improving professional technical skills.
Establishing China-Philippines multi-agent themed networks – including themes such as NGOs in China and the Philippines, the environment for companies, governments and higher education institutions, business and trade, overseas Chinese women (this topic will lay a good foundation for SRP’s protection on overseas Chinese women’s rights programs and other women’s rights-related programs).
