General
The Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP) was launched by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in 2012 as a new window of cofinancing to scale up and integrate climate change adaptation across IFAD's regular work pro gramme. ASAP provides earmarked funding for smallholder farmers in developing countries to improve their capacity to respond to the challenges posed by climate change. ASAP funds will be used e.g. to improve land management promote climate-resilient agricu ltural practices and technologies increase availability and efficient use of water resources improve climate resilience of rural infrastructure and enhance climate risk management. As ASAP projects are joined up with iFAD's regular investment processes the y make use of the same quality control and supervison systems.The world's over 500 million smallholders provide around 80 per cent of food in the sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and make up the largest share of the developing countries' undernourished people. The speed and intensity of climate change is transforming the context of smallholder farming exposing it unpredictable and more extreme weather events which undermines vulnerable rural livelihoods.
Jalalpur Irrigation Project Design Advance
General
The Jalalpur Irrigation Project (JIP) is located along right bank of River Jhelum in Punjab, Pakistan. It will create new non-perennial irrigation services for enhanced agricultural production on 79,750 ha in Pind Daden Khan and Khushab districts. The project will increase kharif crop intensity by 50%, improve crop yield and reduce land degradation. It will directly benefit over 200,000 rural people; mostly poor. The project will (i) construct over 200 km new irrigation canals, (ii) introduce institutional reforms and establish farmers' organizations (FOs), and (iii) build farmers capacity. The project will contribute to food security and economic growth and will alleviate rural poverty in the project area. The project impact will be the increased agricultural production in the project area (Pind Daden Khan and Khushab districts). The project outcome will be irrigation water supplies and agricultural support services available in the project area. The project outputs will be (i) new irrigation canals and appurtenant structures constructed, (ii) farmers organizations established, (iii) private agriculture support services (PASS) available and (iv) capacity of the farmers and the staff from PID and Punjab Irrigation and Drainage Authority (PIDA) improved.

The project will strengthen the capacities of the local populations of the Kara and Savanes regions on land restoration practices and the establishment of anti-erosion infrastructure, which will contribute to land restoration and increase the yield of agricultural production. Likewise, the project will develop nature-based alternative livelihoods such as beekeeping, off-season crops, market gardening as well as the improvement of animal husbandry and will contribute to the diversification of the sources of income of the populations of the project area. It will support local populations in the processing of their agricultural and non-timber forest products. 2. The above support will lead to an improvement in the income of the populations, with a reduction in poverty. The diversification of income sources as well as the improvement of yields will reduce the pressure on arable land and thus reduce conflicts related to access to agricultural land. Increased vegetation cover will also help reduce flooding as well as loss of human life, loss of homes, loss of crops and crops. This situation will improve the living conditions of the populations of the Kara and Savanes regions. 3. Finally, support to groups and / or cooperatives of women and young people will increase these groups’ incomes as well as the standard of living of households, with a significant positive impact on education.
FPP, Livelihood Security and Economic Development in the DRC
General
Sweden has during 2011-2014 funded Forest Peoples Programmes (FPP) through the contribution "REDD Financing, Human Rights and Economic Development for Sustainable Poverty Reduction of Forest Communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo". The effort has supplemented the national REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) process, by funding activities that helped to support and strengthen the population by providing information about its rights, combined with investment and economic development activities and assistance to self-sufficiency. The initiative has been implemented in 300 communities, spread over the six provinces, Bas-Congo, Equatuer, Orientale, Bandundu, North and South Kivu. Sweden and FPP has now agreed to build on the last three years of cooperation and results, and to extend activities to include two additional provinces (Kasai Oriental and Kasai Occidental). FPP will interact with six local NGOs and 307 villages from each of the 13 REDD pilot areas in the DRC. The initiative has the following objectives: 1. To promote the application of strong REDD safeguards; strong VPA governance reforms, agreements and standards and to strengthen forest community land tenure, governance, regulation and laws. 2. To build the capacities of communities in REDD pilot areas and their support organisations and government institutions with regard to finance, gender, participatory mapping, project management and human rights, as well as the national REDD programme and pilots affecting them. 3. To support the establishment of community Monitoring, Verification and Reporting (MRV) systems, and to test and validate MRV on deforestation drivers linked to benefit sharing systems supporting REDD+. 4. To improve application of commodity chain safeguards by supporting the implementation of voluntary social and environmental certification and safeguards in commodity supply chains. 5. To promote dialogue, learning and collaboration in order to institutionalise the successes of Phase 1 outcomes into DRC’s national REDD strategy by sharing lessons; by extending outreach and communication with civil society and the government; by working directly with the Coordination Nationale-REDD (CN-REDD) on FPIC and by the development of benefit sharing mechanisms at the national level. The total budget for this contribution is 4.2 million Euros, approximately 39 million SEK, for the years 2014-2017.
Objectives
The overall objective of the intervention is to promote community customary land rights and livelihood security, economic development and sustainable poverty reduction in REDD pilot areas and key forest zones in the DRC, supporting protection for human rights and sustained investments in economic development activities with forest communities on the basis of their free, prior and informed consent, with specific focus on marginalized groups including indigenous peoples, women and youth.
Evaluation Management Unit for Forestry, Land Use and Governance, Indonesia (FLAG EMU)
General
FLAG is a £32.5 million programme from 2015-2018 supporting action to reduce the rate of deforestation and peat land degradation in Indonesia. FLAG supports the Government of Indonesia’s targets for reducing emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG). The aim of the programme is to tackle a range of market and governance failures that drive unsustainable deforestation and peat land degradation in Indonesia. FLAG supports the Government of Indonesia in reforming land-use planning and licensing at the provincial level, strengthening local government and stakeholders’ capacity to implement the reform, and in improving the climate for Sustainable and responsible business, especially for palm oil. The purpose of the evaluation management unit is to independently assess the results achieved by FLAG and to learn where, when, for whom, how and why the investment approaches work within different contexts and sectors.
