MAP/ Maraza Land Development Pilot Proj.
General
The problems confronting urban deltas are complex and require an all-embracing approach. The Dutch Government and the delta city of Beira agreed to enter into a medium term partnership to enhance the city’s resilience to flooding and assist it to adapt to climate change. In a participatory process, a plan was developed which was adopted by the City council in 2014, the Beira Masterplan. Part of the plan was a list of priority projects among which the development of the Maraza New Town Area. Maraza is an undeveloped swamp area of 350 ha inside the city of Beira. The Maraza pilot project envisages to prove that through organized extension of residential areas, suitable land can be made available to end users for affordable prices in areas which are currently inhabitable due to regular flooding. The Municipality of Beira will establish a mechanism to or-ganize this: the Land Development Company (LDC)- an au-tonomous entity that will raise, level and drain terrains to reach economies of scale. In the statutes of the LDCs it is stipulated that all revenues are returning to the LDC and that part of the area will be used for social housing. With the pro-posed EKN contribution and an equivalent contribution of the municipality of Beira a pilot will be carried out to create a ‘ fly wheel effect’ for the business case. An area of 3 hec-tares will be landfilled, 125 plots delineated and granted with secured land rights as well as basic infrastructure (ac-cess roads, utilities, drainage system). The British social investor REALL will be the launching cus-tomer. After scaling up the number of houses, it will be-come possible to build houses in the range of USD 10.000 per unit, giving the lower income groups an alternative to the present situation of forced habitation in flood prone are-as.
ILC, International Land Coalition 2015-2019
General
ILC, The International Land Coalition, has over 150 member organisations ranging from intergovernmental organisations to research institutes to farmers' organisations working for secure land tenure for poor women and men through advocacy, dialogue and capacity building.Besides the normative work ILC supports CSOs in the South with project funding.
Objectives
ILC's collective goal as a network is to realise land governance for and with people at the country level, responding to the needs and protecting the rights of those who live on and from the land. During the 2015 Assembly of Members, held in Dakar, Senegal on the 15th of May 2015, members of the Coalition adopted a new Strategy for the period 2016-2021. ILC has defined 10 commitments to realise peoplecentred land governance at the country level. All ILC members individually and collectively contribute to the realisation of these commitments in policy, practice and agenda setting at their respective level of action. These commitments are the benchmark by which ILC members work towards the implementation of the VGGTs (Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure) and other internationally agreed instruments to achieve: - Secure tenure rights - Strong small scale farming systems - Diverse tenure systems - Equal land rights for women - Secure territorial rights for indigenous peoples - Locally managed ecosystems - Inclusive decision making - Transparent and accessible information - Effective actions against land grabbing - Protection for land rights defenders
Urban Programme: a fair, inclusive and sustainable city - 2017-23 - MDF
General
Over 2 million people in São Paulo live in unsafe and insecure housing in São Paulo. Many of these live in informal settlements or 'favelas' in overcrowded, poorly built dwellings, often located on marginal land, which lack basic infrastructure such as sanitation, street paving, electricity and are located far from jobs, health and education services, where they are risk from eviction, fires, vector-borne disease outbreaks, and increasingly due to climate change, flash-flooding and landslides. This project will improve the living conditions in 32 favelas (area of precarious and insecure housing), home to 14,000 families, in eastern São Paulo (Vila Prudente, Sapopemba, São Mateus, Jardim Iguatemi); by reducing vulnerability to social and environmental risks and engaging leaders in initiatives to regenerate the local environment. This will take place by strengthening the technical and organisational capacity of local grassroots leaders and neighbourhood organisations to: understand and monitor urban housing and environmental policies and budgets, dialogue with local authorities to enable the poorest access to land tenure formalisation, reduce environmental risks, decent housing, sanitation and essential urban services, work effectively with each other and other organisations for common goals, and shape policy-making to encompass local sustainable solutions to urban environmental problems. This will take place through trainings and capacity building of local neighbourhood groups, brokering and accompaniment of dialogue with local authorities, technical support to develop community environmental initiatives and networking with other groups with similar aims.
Developing Capacity and Action Points Amongst Key Stakeholders in Forest and Land Governance
General
In ceasefire areas such as Kayin State, Kayah State, Mon and Tanintharyi region, there is relatively weak cooperation among CSOs, ethnic armed groups and government, particularly in the contested or dual-control areas where governance is weak but the negative social impacts at the community level are grave. A nuanced understanding of the situation at the grassroots is crucial to finding constructive ways forward for better cooperation related to forest and land governance amongst community, CSOs, KNU and government to prevent current grievances escalating further. The project aims to explore grievances and challenges (to forest management) and identify ways for practical mutual collaboration to address these at the local level, thereby strengthening opportunities for peace dividends for local communities. This project proposes to engage a number of key stakeholders in the areas of forest and land governance in specific conflict affected Karen areas in Myanmar where our partner has strong community links. Through a series of workshops, meetings and dialogues, International Alert will engage with armed groups, civil society organisations and government representatives in order to facilitate trust-building and enhance communication intended to improving co-ordination between them in resolving natural resource (NR) governance issues. The ultimate aim is that improved coordination will secure improved lives and access to services and forests for poor rural, marginalised communities in ceasefire areas of mixed government / EAO control. Neglecting forestry management in conflict-affected areas historically and contemporarily is linked to increased conflict risks and highly adverse social and environmental impacts.
Objectives
To build trust between EAO, government and civil society actors by exploring common challenges related to forest and natural resource management in contested areas in south-eastern Myanmar and (2) identifying ideas for potential collaboration between these actors to address these challenges and start building peace from the bottom up
Target Groups
We will target decision makers both on the GOM side and on the EAO side of KNU and DKBA to participate in the workshops (30 participants in total), as well as CSOs working on issues of natural resource management and local development (70 participants in total). The round-table discussion dialogue is targeting 70 participants from amongst the same groups. The final beneficiaries will be the communities around Thandaunggyi township (340 villages with 80,000 people) and Hpa-an township (477 villages with 396,700 people) from which the participants come.
