Target Groups
The project will generate socio-economic benefits by maintaining and enhancing the resource base on which the local communities in Western Tanzania rely for their livelihoods. This includes, but it not limited to: i) increased financial security through diversified livelihoods, bankable business plans, and increased access to financial services; ii) increased food security, associated with better SLM practices, rehabilitated and restored ecosystem services of economic value, and strengthened food value chains; iii) increased tenure security enabled through policy frameworks and participatory land use planning; iv) enhanced/ecologically sensitive forest governance, with community-based forest management (CBFM); and v) women and youth empowerment. This GEF investment will directly contribute to improving the livelihoods of 60,000 individuals in the project intervention areas, including 45% women, through halting and reversing land degradation and biodiversity loss. It will also have at least 150,000 indirect beneficiaries, the majority of whom are smallholders and pastoralists. Moreover, the project will promote full and productive employment and decent work in the target landscape. The project will contribute to the following Pillars of Decent Work: (i) Pillar I - Employment creation and enterprise development, through its Component 2 targeting value chain development, with a focus on the needs and wants of women and youth among others; and (ii) Pillar IV – Governance and social dialogue, through working directly with FFPOs to enhance participation in agriculture and rural development processes, and strengthening decision-making capacity for LDN.

Women's Economic Empowerment project
General
The overall objective of the project is to advance women’s economic empowerment to ensure the capacity of women to participate in, contribute to and benefit from agricultural value chains and processes in ways that affirm the value of their contributions, respect their dignity, promote equality and equity in eight districts of Eastern, Western, Southern and Central Provinces of Zambia. Specifically, the project seeks to: i) increase women’s agency and decision-making power at household and community levels to address barriers to women’s economic empowerment. ii) Strengthen technical capacity of women to run and own viable, productive, resilient and sustainable agricultural businesses and iii) Strengthen women’s voice and collective power at community level to increase access to, control of and ownership over productive (e.g. physical assets, land) and financial assets among women through women-led cooperatives, land tenure and financial inclusion. This will be achieved through a women-led and women centred approach with focus on both men and women. In general, the project will work through study circles, and support women groups, village savings and loans associations with capacity building of women in economic empowerment. The project will start with an eight months inception phase during which several studies will be carried out . These include market analysis, environment and social impact assessment, conflict sensitivity analysis, and a gender and power analysis. The findings from the studies will form the basis for the final design of the project implementation. We Effect, the main agreement partner will implement the project in collaboration with Heifer Project International Zambia (HPIZ), Women for Change (WfC), Zambia Land Alliance (ZLA) and eight District Women Associations (DWAs). The budget for the proposed intervention is SEK 75 Million. The project will run for 44 months including the inception period of 8 months.
Objectives
The overall objective of the intervention is to advance women’s economic empowerment to ensure the capacity of women to participate in, contribute to and benefit from agricultural value chains and processes in ways that affirm the value of their contributions, respect their dignity and promote equality.The project has three specific objectives (SO): SO 1 (personal sphere): To increase women’s agency and decision-making power at household and community level to address barriers to women’s economic empowerment. This specific objective seeks to strengthen women’s capacity, build confidence and self-esteem. SO 2 (relational sphere): To address institutional barriers that limit women’s economic advancement in agricultural value and market chains. This sphere relates to the attitudes and norms of people within women’s lives and the enterprises women may interact with. The objective will work to transform norms, attitudes and values of men, while at the same time support women to develop sustainable and resilient techniques that mitigate the impacts of climate change. SO 3 (social sphere): To strengthen women’s voice and collective power at community level to increase access to, control and ownership of productive (e.g. physical assets, land) and financial assets among women through women-led local organisations, land tenure and financial inclusion. This objective will seek to support the establishment of women-led local organisations, as well as ensuring that women have more access to financial services including insurance and saving groups. Under this objective, the DWAs and women-led local organisations will be trained to lobby and advocate for increased land rights and secure tenure of fertile land.

Target Groups
1. As is the case with global environmental benefits and gender, the GCP will serve to amplify the delivery of socioeconomic benefits by the child projects that constitute the programme through: - The coordination of efforts among projects and partipating countries in order to realize the potential for synergies, and avoid duplication, conflicts or impact leakages. - Facilitate participating countries’ access to knowledge and technical assistance, and the exchange of knowledge among countries (IP and non-IP) on options for reconciling the delivery of global environmental benefits with socioeconomic benefits (including win-win options where the socioeconomic benefits actively support the achievement of GEBs, and vice versa). - Facilitating access to policy support through COFO WG on Dryland and UNCCD.11. Livelihoods, Employment, and responding to the global health challenges. 1. The GCP will facilitate efforts by child projects, through technical assistance and knowledge resources, to improve their effectiveness in contributing to improved livelihoods, employment, and responding to health challenges such as COVID-19, HIV/AIDS and malaria. Issues of particular relevance in relation to the DSL IP include the following: - Most poor people in drylands depend on agriculture, which is typically characterized by precarious and poorly-remunerated jobs. - Degradation, desertification, and deforestation of land and ecosystems in drylands lead to increasing difficulties to produce and secure a dignified income from agricultural work. - Youth in particular (especially young women) face additional disadvantages in accessing productive and gainful jobs, due to their limited access to productive resources, including land and credit, as well as markets and organizations. The impacts of climate and environmental change may affect access to decent jobs for youth, especially in the agriculture sectors where the great majority of jobs are water-dependent. - Lack of jobs and deteriorating environmental conditions often result in youth migration. This is particularly true in drylands, where migration is closely linked to environmental stresses and is often used as a way to adapt to environmental and climate changes. - Early removal from school to put children into child labour responds to a functional and economic dependency of farmers facing desertification and the loss of their resources. This situation can trap children and youth in a vicious cycle of hunger and poverty.- At the time of submission, the response to the COVID-19 emergency in IP countries was in the process of being developed and implemented. The GCP will facilitate efforts of country projects to work with national government counterparts to ensure wherever possible that IP investments are supporting the resilience of food systems, value chains, and the employment associated with this. 2. Interventions under the IP, which will be supported by the GCP, recognise that revitalising rural economies and actively promoting productive employment and decent work in rural areas is crucial to improve food security and reduce inequalities and poverty while also promoting safe, regular and orderly migration for the development of rural areas. Decent jobs are opportunities for work that are productive, respect core labour standards, provide a fair income (whether through self-employment or wage labour) and ensure equal treatment for all: workers should be able to perform their tasks under safe and healthy conditions and have a voice in the workplace. Through the IP, the sustainable management and restoration of landscapes, and the improvement of natural resource management and rural livelihoods, could address some of the adverse drivers of migration by improving the well-being and resilience of local populations, especially youth. As noted above, this will also include facilitating the efforts of national government counterparts to respond to the COVID-19 crisis in their countries in ways which support collaboration between IP participants and outreach to neighboring countries.3. The GCP will allow child projects to tap into the particular contributions that FAO is able to make in relation to decent rural employment. In order to provide specific guidance to help improve outcomes for livelihoods and employment through country project and GCP interventions, the Decent Rural Employment Toolbox has been designed to provide assistance to policy makers and planners, rural development practitioners and FAO staff at country level on how to systemize and scale up ongoing efforts to promote decent employment in rural areas[1]. [1] Specific guidance on how FAO can promote the Four Pillars of Decent Work in rural areas is provided in the Quick reference for addressing decent rural employment (as well as in the full corresponding Guidance document).
