F.a: Food Security for Small Scale Farmers
General
The Project purpose is to increase food supplies for 600 families of Giharo and Bukemba in Rutana Province of Burundi through promotion and facilitation in better farming methods and practices that will enhance increased food production in the community. T he Project will build the capacity of the community in sustainable land management, mobilization of local resource and adaptation to climate change.The Community of Pentecostal Churches in Burundi (CEPBU) is the main Fida partner in this program. During th e past 4 decades, Burundi has undergone through destructive civil wars that caused a great damaged to the country’s economy. During this period, more than 500,000 fled the country to the neighbouring countries especially Tanzania. After a long process of peace talks between the rebels and the government, peace agreements were signed and the repatriation process was initiated in which a massive flow back of returnees were settled back to their origin places in Rutana province of Burundi. The resettlement p rocess has faced a lot of challenges in meeting the needs of the returnee who were poor, illiterate, without food and shelter, and lacked farming inputs to start up their normal living. CEPBU and Fida have partnered to empower the community in understandin g their rights in response to these challenges. The Project will conduct church leaders training on food security/environment protection techniques and the formulation of food security and Environment protection policy. The partner will influence the comm unity on matters related to food security and environment protection practices. The project will train the Community Coordinating Teams (CCT) who will be a representation of the 600 families on food security and environment protection. The CCT will establ ish farmers' groups in the community and train them on saving and credit methods, effective livestock management, preparation and development of tree nurseries and engage them in tree planting and protect of forest areas with contour lines. The project wil l provide the Community Coordinating Teams with training materials, seeds for demonstration tree nurseries and links to other environment protection organizations. The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the wellbeing of the returnee comm unities in Burundi. It is expected that, at the end of the project the returnees will increase their food production that is enough to sustain their family needs and support their children education. The communities will understand their rights to their ba sic needs and find solutions to their needs. The communities will be empowered to take care of the environment and how to increase the forest cover.
Ensuring land rights
General
Working with five communities from the Northern, Eastern and Uva Provinces of Sri Lanka, the project will empower communities, their organizations and networks with knowledge, skills and resources to advocate on their land rights and effectively engage with Provincial and National Governments and stakeholders. It will provide legal advice and legal training to community members and connect them with local officials so they can obtain legal tenure of their land. The project will also train community leaders and support them to form networks to jointly advocate for land rights for their community, and will support the People’s Alliance on the Right to Land to be a stronger national network and to campaign nationally on land rights for vulnerable and displaced communities.
Gesterra II
General
The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) has been supporting the land sector in Mozambique since 2013 through the Land Management and Administration Pro-gramme (Gesterra) implemented by the National Land Di-rectorate (DINAT). Important accomplishments have been achieved in the context of this programme, such as the es-tablishment and operationalization of the Land Information and Management System (SIGIT), which is the center of gravity of all land management and administration of any nation. However, this programme has been criticized for not having given enough attention to the improvement of tech-nical capacity of DINAT staff. Initially, a second phase of this programme was foreseen from 2019 to 2022 similar in size in terms of financial re-sources. However, recent developments on the land sector in Mozambique and changes in the Dutch government's in-ternational cooperation policies have led the embassy to reshape its support to the land sector in Mozambique. Inspired on the Gesterra programme (act 25686) and Im-plementation Mechanism for the Land Sector Strategic Plan designed by Dutch Kadaster (MINBUZA-2017.972415), the World Bank is designing a 100 million (dollar / euro?) pro-gramme for the land sector in Mozambique. However, this programme does not include a technical training package for DINAT staff. On the other hand, as result of redefinition of geographical focus (Sahel, Africa and Middle East), Mozambique is no longer a priority country in the context of international co-operation by the Dutch Government. This means that the Embassy should scale-down its activities especially in the FNS thematic area where the land sector is incorporated.
