Going Several Steps Further2012 marked exciting new developments in
the work of Mission East, both in our project
countries in Eastern Europe and Asia, and at
home in Denmark.
While the year before, we had concluded a
strategic process in which we identified two
priority sectors in our development work:
Rural Community Development and Disability
& Special Needs, 2012 saw our project work
expanded in these areas, resulting in an
increasing impact with an increasing number of
beneficiaries.
In general, our rural community development
work targets people living in remote
mountainous regions, in countries like
Afghanistan, Nepal and Tajikistan, and here
we have expanded our focus on livelihoods
development with the overall objective of
reducing vulnerability, building resilience and
mitigating risk. In 2012, a new programme
development was the introduction of
sustainable natural resources management,
aiming at inclusion of poor communities and
the reduction of poverty.
While reaching further into mountainous
communities, we also expanded our work
with community-based services and structures
in Armenia and Tajikistan, safeguarding the
inclusion of marginalized people living with
disabilities and raising awareness of their rights.
In all development work, we strive to ensure
that as much as possible of the work is done by
our local partners, with Mission East providing
technical assistance and capacity building
to them as needed. Thus, we ensure that the
changes brought about will last also after the
period of a project, and also after Mission East
leaves the project area.
Also in 2012, we expanded our relief work
in North Korea, bringing the total number of
vulnerable children that have received food
assistance from Mission East to close to 50,000,
while also providing assistance to 511 families
unfortunate to have lost their homes during the
terrible floods of the summer of 2012.
Underpinning our project work in the field,
2012 saw a doubling in our profiling in the
Danish media vis-à-vis the previous year,
and also the introduction of new ways of
communicating with our stakeholders,
resulting in an increasing awareness of the
plight of the people we want to assist, those
living in poverty and marginalization in parts of
the world often overlooked by Western media.
None of all this would have been possible
without the continued commitment of our local
partners and the support of so many individual
supporters, companies, foundations, alliance
partners and government donors who have put
their trust and resources behind the work of
Mission East.
Together, we are able to make possible all of the
exciting progress and work you can read about
on the following pages.

Afghanistan remains the poorest country in
Asia with more than 36 percent of its popu-
lation below the poverty line. However, life
expectancy has grown considerably and 90
percent of all children now attend primary
school. A bumper harvest in 2012 led to a rise
in GDP and exploitation of the country’s rich
mineral resources is planned. Nevertheless,
systems and services remain fragile subject to
political and environmental instability;
security conditions are worsening; and the
government remains constrained by weak
capacity, restricted access, unclear mandates,
and a lack of accountability.
The programmeIn 2012 the Afghan programme extended its
coverage to new districts in Badakhshan and
Takhar, and the new province of Baghlan, and
expanded its focus on livelihoods development
with the overall objective of reducing vulne-
rability, building resilience and mitigating risk.
While start-up support for home-based liveli-
hood activities for women and other producer
groups remained a key component of the
program, increasing emphasis was placed on
helping mature Self Help Groups learn new
skills and start small businesses. Farmer
trainings on improved agricultural practices
accompanied by seed distributions grew in
volume and the core activities of water,
sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and infra-
structure rehabilitation continued.
Aims in 2013As part of an increasingly holistic approach to
rural community development, the programme's
key pillars for the future include: reinforcing of
community capacities for disaster preparedness
and better natural resource management, and
continued strengthening of local civil society
and local partner development. In 2013 Mission
East will continue to revive its humanitarian
relief capacities in the disaster-prone province of
Badakhshan, involving pre-positioning of stocks
and development of rapid response mechanisms
and community-based early warning systems.

Despite slight economic growth, a huge segment
of the population of Armenia struggles to
secure the minimum needed for survival: 36
percent of people now live below the poverty
line compared with 24 percent only four years
ago. High unemployment and poverty drive
skilled young people to emigrate and seek
work abroad.
The programmeIn 2012 Mission East consolidated the
comprehensive, replicable model of integrated
community-based services for children with
disabilities and special needs in Tavush
district in the North East of Armenia. Capacity
building activities helped families of children
with disabilities to become active citizens,
while advocacy campaigns raised awareness in
communities on the importance of inclusion.
Children with and without disabilities have
been empowered to realize their rights as
children and active citizens, creating an
inclusive and child friendly environment.
Among other things, this has been done
through various seminars, clubs and writing
of the magazine Sunflower.
The training of teachers in Armenia has been
reformed through a project with the Armenian
State Pedagogical University (ASPU) to
increase the knowledge and understanding of
teaching children with disability in an inclusive
environment. The ASPU curriculum for new
teachers now includes compulsory courses on
methods in inclusive education and placements
for students in inclusive classes.
Also the organisational growth of local partners
has been supported with an emphasis on
enhancing the competencies of key staff.
The Global Fund sponsored programme
on HIV/AIDS works with 10 local NGOs
and government bodies to provide support
to people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as
working with those most at risk in order to
slow the spread of the epidemic. In 2012 the
first phase of the project was completed and a
new, 3 year phase was started.
Aims for 2013Future plans include further empowerment
of civil society to strengthen disability rights
in Armenia, focusing on vocational education
training, as well as expanding activities to fight
rural poverty through livelihoods and income
generating projects. Lastly, the HIV/AIDS
project will focus on new target groups for
preventive activities, diagnosis and treatment.
Inclusion for AllMajor achievements• 1,500 children with
disabilities and special needs attend inclusive project schools.
• 138 lecturers trained on the principles of inclusive education and 320 student teachers got practical placements in inclusive schools.
• 513 children with disabilities screened and 271 receive rehabilitative care.
• 600 children with and without disabilities from 31 schools organized in student committees and media clubs.
• 750 people with HIV/AIDS got medical care and support, and 474,104 people received information and services.

20 Years in Armenia: From Food Assistance to Advocacy
2008: A miracle childAt first 4 year old Sveta did not like strangers and cried and screamed when anyone visited the family. For that reason her mother kept her isolated at home. Today Sveta has been diag-nosed with autism and a light mental handicap. She goes to the Child Development and Rehabilitation Centre that Mission East has established, and Sveta no longer has a problem being with other people. Finding children with disabilities, professional screening and diagnosing and subsequent rehabilitation is one of the key aspects of Mission East’s work.
Mission East’s work in Armenia began with
food assistance and medical support in 1992
following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Since then the work in Armenia has grown into
a carefully targetted programme meeting the
needs of children with disabilities and people
living with HIV/AIDS.
In the summer of 2012 Mission East marked its
20th anniversary in the country by a celebration
in the capital Yerevan, attended by beneficiaries,
partners, employees and officials. Managing
Director Kim Hartzner was presented with
a Prime Ministerial award for Mission East’s
twenty years of humanitarian and development
work in Armenia. Also former Managing
Director and co-founder René Hartzner
received a medal from the Armenian Ministry
of Health. Moreover many other guests took
the opportunity to thank Mission East for its
assistance to the people of Armenia through a
difficult phase in the history of the country.
2012: Local advocacy and building civil society 15 years ago, Zaruhi Batoyan, who has muscular dystrophy, came
to Mission East’ partner Bridge of Hope to take English language and computer classes. Today, she is the organization’s advocacy officer. Zaruhi is a well-known and outspoken advocate of disability rights and equality within Armenia and as such actively participates in processes directed towards the inclusion of people with disability in education and community life. Capacity building of partner organisations, such as Bridge of Hope in advocacy, organizational development and sectoral expertise, is at the centre of Mission East’s work in Armenia.

1993: “We still have the equipment”
Mission East established the hospital “Denmark” in Southern Armenia. The hospital was the only medical facility with modern equipment in the area and it offered treatment free of charge. The hospital still functions and is run by the Armenian state.
Mission East started out with medical support and food assistance to Armenia.
2004: The first inclusive curriculum
In 2004 Emma Karaseferyan for the first time held a professional reading plan in her hands that enables her to teach children with special needs. “As far as I know, it is the first time Armenian teachers receive a plan that sees children with learning disabilities as students and not as mentally ill individuals,” she says. Mission East played a vital role when the Armenian government changed its legislation to make an inclusive curriculum for children with disabilities compulsory in the Armenian schools.

Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in
the world and the second poorest in Asia. It
has been six years since the signing of a peace
agreement ended the civil insurgency. The
peace process is stalled with no constitution
agreed and disagreement over the structuring
of a federal state. Many parts of Nepal
experience widespread protests that have in
turn caused economic and development losses
for the country. Development projects and
funding halted in many places, public services
were severely disrupted and greater stability
in 2013 is uncertain. The country is ruled by
a caretaker government with no parliament,
no locally elected bodies, no permanent
constitutional framework and concerns about
the process and outcome of the next elections.
The programmeIn 2012 Mission East finalised its transition
from a project-based humanitarian approach
to a programme-based rural development and
right-based approach in Karnali, the poorest
of Nepal’s development regions. The new
programme focuses on inclusion, resilient
livelihoods and poverty reduction based on
sustainable natural resources management.
In 2012 our partners worked with Community
Forest User Groups on trade of local medicinal
herbs and mainstreaming climate change
and disaster risk into local development with
community-based organisations. The inclusion
and women empowerment component has
reached women with literacy classes and
human rights training.
In the South West of the country the assistance
to an orphanage for vulnerable children
continued.
Aims for 2013In 2013 Mission East is going to increase its
support to 2,000 women in income generation
activities, women’s rights and literacy. The
disaster risk reduction programme will be
expanded to benefit 30,000 people of Karnali
and the approach to disability inclusiveness
will be strengthened. In line with the new
programme-based approach Mission East is
phasing out its assistance to the orphanage in
Rupandehi district.
Building a Rural Development and Rights Based Programme
Major achievements• 1,500 adults and children
trained on water system maintenance, and good practices in hygiene.
• 15,000 members of Community Forest User Groups made aware of sustainable forest management.
• 60 entrepreneurs trained on entrepreneurship development and marketing.
• Literacy courses for 400 women with 150 from the lower Dalit castes and 30 women with disabilities.
• 3 district authorities and more than 100 community-based organisations capacitated to mainstream disaster risk and climate change in their development practices.

2012 was a year of bouts of severe weather in
North Korea. This began in the spring with a
dry spell in the main agriculture zone which
threatened young crops and forced farmers to
water vast fields of maize and other crops by
hand to keep young plants alive. Finally the
summer rains arrived, but with them came
storms, typhoons and floods. A total of 300
people died and 298,050 were left homeless as
a result of the various disasters.
The projectsThis spring Mission East provided
supplementary food assistance for 20,000
young children in orphanages, nurseries
and kindergartens and 2,000 pregnant and
lactating women during the spring food gap
to help prevent micronutrient deficiencies
and promote normal child growth. When
this project drew to a close, the work with
the orphanages continued, as the nutrition
situation here was clearly the worst. In
addition, Mission East helped to address
other needs of the children at the orphanages,
including lack of appropriate psycho-social
stimulation, and lack of basic items such
as winter clothing and footwear. Mission
East subsequently established a long-term
relationship with three orphanages with the
hope of improving the quality of life and
making a lasting difference in the lives of these
children, who are clearly among the most
vulnerable people in North Korea. Meanwhile,
when the summer floods hit, Mission East
carried out assessments in two of the most
severely affected provinces, and was able
to respond with support to help build new
homes for 511 families made homeless by the
flooding.
Aims for 2013Looking ahead, Mission East is seeking ways to
bring its expertise in rural water, sanitation and
hygiene from other parts of the world to the
North Korean context, where water systems
are often absent or decaying, and incidence of
water-borne diseases is high.
In the future, Mission East also wishes to
work on addressing the underlying problems
contributing to food insecurity. In the long
term Mission East hopes to establish an office
in North Korea.
Building Hope and HomesMajor achievements• Almost 20,000 young
children and 2,000 pregnant women and new mothers had improved nutrition during the spring and summer ‘lean period’ by their use of a vitamin, mineral and protein supplement from Mission East.
• Approximately 750 exceptionally vulnerable orphan children were provided with food assistance, winter clothing, blankets, toys and educational materials.
• Construction materials were provided to help rebuild homes for 511 families left homeless after devastating summer floods.

George and Rosalia Lacatus outside their small house in rural Romania. The family has very few means to sustain a living, but they do their best to give their children an education and thus a less vulnerable life.
With one fifth of the population living below
the poverty line, Romania is considered the
second poorest country in Europe. Austerity
measures have been especially hard on those
with the lowest incomes, with families in
Romania struggling to survive on as little as
150 Euros per month. In addition, increases in
basic living costs like electricity, kerosene and
diesel which have risen by 10 percent in 2012,
means that many people do not have enough
money to pay their bills, buy medicines or
improve living standards for their children.
The project In 2012, Mission East continued to help those
who find themselves in personal crisis during
this period of widespread economic decline–
bringing material and psychological support to
those in need. The particular area of focus is to
provide medical consultation and free medicine
to those who cannot afford health services in
Cluj, Bistrita and Bihor counties.
While there is state health insurance in
Romania, the health care system has many
inefficiencies, and in reality, people are often
required to pay many additional fees to:
doctors, polyclinics, hospitals and laboratories.
While four years ago the state subsidized the
cost of 360 medicines, this year only 46 items
remain on this list. Mission East’s partner
also makes weekly visits to sick children in
oncology and TB hospitals, bringing small
parcels for the children and providing a gleam
of hope to their fragile lives.
Aims for 2013In the coming year, the partner will continue
working in the particularly impoverished
areas of Girbau and Turea, and villages in the
vicinity of Cluj, providing clothing, shoes, food
items, free medical services, and moral support
to those with chronic illness, disability, the
elderly, and families struggling with poverty.
The Plight of Europe’s Poorest Major achievements• 1,330 vulnerable and
marginalized people assisted with distributions of medicine, clothing and food.
• Free medical consultations, medicines and supplies provided for 330 people.
• Weekly visits paid to boost the morale of children in oncology and tuberculosis hospitals.
• 52 people provided with a social-support mountain retreat.
• 800 Christmas boxes delivered to families in need, those in hospital and the elderly.

Tajikistan has enjoyed some economic
improvements over the past decade, but remains
the poorest of the former Soviet Republics.
Almost half of the population of 7 million faces
severe difficulties in supporting themselves
and their households. 1 million live in extreme
poverty with incomes of less than 1 dollar
a day. Tajikistan faces major challenges: the
mountainous terrain makes agriculture difficult
and the population is vulnerable to repeated
natural disasters; the isolated position adds to
the challenge of developing trade; the political
tension with neighbouring Uzbekistan is
growing and a large part of the male population
leaves for much of the year to find work abroad.
The programmeMission East seeks long-term solutions to
help the most vulnerable people in Tajikistan,
for example marginalized women and girls,
children with disabilities and households in
remote rural communities. With its rights-
based programme on disability Mission East
supports therapy services, legal advice and
social-emotional counseling. The programme
for women’s rights raises awareness on gender
equality, comparing rights with cultural and
religious practices. In the border communities
to Afghanistan Mission East builds water
systems and latrines and promotes improved
hygiene practices.
Disaster Risk Reduction remains a cross-cutting
theme, and strengthening the capacity of Tajik
civil society through partner cooperation is key
to Mission East’s projects in Tajikistan.
Aims for 2013In 2013 Mission East aims to expand its water
and sanitation programme as well as the gender
and disability rights programme to cover more
communities. Furthermore, the scope of the
disaster preparedness and response activities
especially along the Afghan border will be
increased.

During 2012 Mission East communicated with
its stakeholders and the general public to raise
awareness of the plight of people living in
poverty and marginalization in an increasing
number of ways.
Mission East continued a positive trend of
increased appearances in the Danish media
in 2012. Managing Director Kim Hartzner
participated in a number of TV broadcasts
on national TV concerning the humanitarian
situation in North Korea and was quoted
several times in other national news media on
various aid-related topics. Kim Hartzner also
participated in a number of public speaking
engagements with supporter groups, including
several Y's Mens Clubs.
The Mission East magazine is the core
communication tool to reach an increasing
number of private supporters wishing to assist
the vulnerable and marginalised through
Mission East. Mission East’s private supporters
also receive a number of direct mails focussing
on particular needs and issues. These campaigns
also make use of telemarketing. In 2012,
major supporter campaigns raised funds to
address the needs of North Korean families and
children suffering from malnutrition and the
effects of natural disasters.
The cooperation with private companies and
foundations also increased in 2012 as more
Danish companies chose to support the work
of Mission East.
Facebook and YouTube were new channels of
communication taken up in 2012. In particular,
YouTube was successful in drawing attention
to documentaries from North Korea published
by Mission East after the terrible floods in the
summer of 2012.
All of these efforts contributed to a strong
performance in raising awareness among private
and corporate supporters and in broadening
the private donor base in Denmark. In addition,
significant funding came from partner
organizations abroad, including Belgium, the
Netherlands, New Zealand and Sweden.
The FutureIn 2013, Mission East will strengthen its
interaction with all its stakeholders through
social media, by participating in public
events such as seminars and summer camps,
and through increased public speaking by
the Managing Director, in Denmark and
abroad. Starting in 2013, a newsletter will be
circulated to respond to the increased interest
of companies wishing to support the work of
Mission East.

Finances 2012Mission East’s revenues and costs have increased
significantly in 2012. These increases resulted
in a profit of the operating contribution but in
a loss at the net income level after the financial
costs. Increase in revenues comes from private
supporters’ donations, from a new private grant
in Armenia and from growth of the volume of
public projects. In parallel, private donations
from other organisations have decreased
significantly related to the end of private
funded projects especially in Pakistan.
The new contracts signed in 2012 explained
the accrued grant income and expenses to be
received and spent in the years coming. The
outlook for 2013 is positive as Mission East
seeks to extend in new countries and further
growth is expected in private income.
