Displaying 461 - 465 of 2117Climate Smart Land Management and Services
Objectives
In response to the Climate Smart Jobs (CSJ) Programme Component 4: Climate Smart Land Management and Services, Mercy Corps and partners propose the Restoring Ecological Vitality In Vulnerable Ecosystems (REVIVE) programme, which will support both smallholder farmers vulnerable to climate change and key market system actors to adopt more sustainable land management approaches, increasing productivity and incomes and reducing environmental risks for entire communities. The ultimate aim is to support the flow of finance, skills and knowledge to allow small and medium farmer communities to become the stewards of their own ecosystems: to ensure commercial viability and to design incentives that will work to restore and protect at the ecosystem watershed or landscape levels. REVIVE will also engage the customer base for CSLMS to incentivise the level of demand necessary to scale these products and services and enable extra finance through carbon trading when feasible. By facilitating investments into entrepreneurial farmers, our approach will enable farmers to invest in additional sustainable land management activities to improve their ecosystem management and thus realise quicker financial returns.
LOCALISATION & DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
General
CARITAS Moroto under the ICSP will contribute to both impact 1 and 3 of the project. These are; Impact 1: People experiencing poverty and most vulnerable to shocks, conflicts and crises have more sustainable and equitable access to food and livelihoods Impact 3:Institutional systems to prevent and respond to shocks, conflict and crises are more inclusive and better informed by the needs, rights and vulnerabilities of those furthest behind. Specifically under impact are 1 Caritas Moroto will implement activities relatedto strengthening the sorghum value chain with an aim of improving food and income security for targeted groups and communities. These activities include training of small holder farmers good Sorghum agronomic practices, organizing of farmers in producer groups, creating awareness of land rights especially for women, and popularizing policies related to land, agriculture and climate change. Under impact area 3 caritas will focus more on activities that contribute to timely response to disaster and shocks, localization ofresponse and activities aimed at Disaster Risk Reduction and preparedness. These include; Identification of community support structures essential for disaster risk mitigation, contingency planning and communitybased early warning, supporting integration of village level disaster management plans into parish, sub county and District disaster management plans, Facilitating Village and DistrictDisaster Management Committee meetings to monitor/review implementation of emergency mitigation and response plans and supporting surveillance to inform emergency response among others
Malawi - Shire Valley Transformation and Irrigation Program –Phase 1 (SVTP-1)
General
The proposed operation is the first phase of the Shire Valley Transformation Program (SVTP-I) in Malawi. SVTP is a program of three sequential but partially overlapping phases (with different financiers entering at different times and in parallel financing arrangements). The program is to provide access to reliable gravity fed irrigation and drainage services, secure land tenure for smallholder farmers and strengthened management of wetlands and protected areas. SVTP-I will provide the necessary infrastructure and enabling environment to scale up the deployment of agricultural technologies under SVTP-II in line with the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) framework to increase agricultural productivity and value addition. SVTP-II shifts investment focus to agricultural investment, private sector and value chain support, as well as the investments in bulk infrastructure for the SVIP-II area. Finally, SVTP-III is the massive scale up phase of investments to the SVIP-II area. SVTP-I has a time frame of seven years from 2018 to 2025 and total cost net of taxes and duties, is UA 155.93 million. The project has four main components, namely: (i) Irrigation Service and Infrastructure Provision; (ii) Land Tenure and Natural Resources Management Support; (iii) Agriculture development and Commercialization; and (iv) Project Management and Coordination.
Objectives
The SVTP-1 objective is to contribute to poverty reduction through increased value addition and provision of infrastructure for increased agricultural productivity and climate adaptation.
Target Groups
The direct beneficiaries of the project are approximately 56,000 families of smallholder farmers. The project will focus on the participation of women and female-headed households (about 40-60% of the total number of beneficiaries targeted by government policy) as well as young people, but will strive to include as many women as possible.
