Capacity development programme, Locally Controlled Forest Restoration (ITP+) - Utvärdering Locally controlled
General
This contribution is a capacity building programme within environment and climate. The aim of this contribution is to enable and support smallholders/local communities to sustainably restore degraded forest landscapes. Forest degradation and deforestation have severe negative effects on livelihoods for rural and urban societies, biodiversity, climate and ecosystem services such as sustainable access to clean water. There is a urgent need to halt deforestation, restore degraded forest land and manage remaining forests sustainably. There are several international initiatives, processes and agreements that have ambitions to address the challenges through forest and landscape restoration programs and there is an urgent need to provide capacity building to key stakeholders, not least forest smallholders and other groups living nearby and using the forest. In response to these developments the Swedish Forest Agency submitted a proposal tor an international capacity building programme to Sida titled "Locally controlled Forest Restoration - A Governance and Market oriented approach to Resilient Landscapes". This contribution is a support to the Swedish Forest Agency to implement the capacity building programme with start in 2020.

General
Smallholder producers living in San Martins rainforest face high levels of poverty and social exclusion, a fragile ecosystem and severe land degradation and deforestation. The Centro de Promocin de la Equidad Mara Elena Moyano (Centro Moyano) helps small-scale producers from six organizations increase family incomes, diversify and add value to their products and protect the environment by cultivating agroforestry systems focused on native rubber species and associated crops. At the IAF, we support community-led solutions to expand economic opportunity in Peru. Centro Moyanos activities bolster efforts to counteract environmental degradation and protect the natural resources that communities depend on.
Agro Ecology for Food Security & Inco
General
Women smallholder Farmers in Zombo District face climate change challenges that have affected their food production and income capacities. These challenges range from prolonged dry spells affecting crop germination, too much and erratic rains which causeflooding and damage root tuber crops such as cassava, yam, and potatoes. Dry spells and waterlogging result in crop diseases which can affectother crops, especially since women producers lack the capacity to control such infestations. These, coupled with ineffective agronomic practices and accelerating climate change impacts and damages, affect the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and their households. The project aims at enhancing the food and income security of 200 women smallholder farmers using the CRAEM model. Oxfam has piloted this model with smallholder women and men food producers, and the model has proven to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers to climate change impacts and improve productivity. The model emphasizes working with andstrengthening community leadership structures and emphasizes practices and technologies within the means of beneficiaries which can be scaled without further external support Land degradation, poor soil health, and high dependence on rain-fed agriculture has increased the vulnerability of rural households to food insecurity and poverty, eroding productive assets and weakening their coping strategies and resilience. Onset, duration, and intensity of rains vary considerably from year to year, and the increased frequency of erratic weather patterns, including drought and flooding, have negatively impacted the national economy and the livelihoods of the people. New measures are needed to help farmers and consumers cope with the changes in emerging and projected weather patterns. Oxfam would like to support 200 women smallholder farmers to practice climate-smart agriculture to maximise their productivity and increase nutrition and income using the Climate Resilient Agro Ecological Model (CRAEM)
enABLING LONGTERM COLLABORATIVE CONS OF
General
South America's grasslands span approximately 1 million square kilometers across Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Habitat loss, fragmentation, improper use of agrochemicals, and unsustainable agricultural land management threaten the migratory grassland birds dependent on this ecosystem. BirdLife International, with its partners: Aves Argentinas, Aves Uruguay, Guyra Paraguay, and SAVE Brasil, have worked to conserve grassland birds and their habitats through proven, effective, and scalable conservation solutions. The Grassland Alliance will execute four key strategies to safeguard Southern Cone grasslands critical to the survival of Neotropical migrants and other species: 1. Planning - Develop and begin implementing a Grassland Alliance Bird Conservation Business Plan, in consultation with partners and stakeholders, that provides a road map for future conservation investments. 2. Monitoring - Strengthen and deploy a consistent monitoring and evaluation framework across the Southern Cone Grasslands Alliance network, to advance scientific understanding of the needs of grassland Neotropical migratory bird species, and improve effectiveness of grassland conservation measures. 3. Conserving - Improve management on over 765,000 acres of sustainably managed grasslands through continued work with ranchers to implement Best Management Practices, and bird-friendly beef certification. 4. Raising awareness - Enhance awareness of threats to grassland biodiversity, and possible conservation solutions through effective communication.

Ghana - Form Ghana Reforestation Project
General
The Form Ghana Reforestation Project aims at the restoration of degraded forest reserves by establishing a large scale sustainable commercial forest plantation (11 ,700 ha) composed of (10% indigenous tree species and 90% teak) in collaboration with the Government of Ghana (GoG) through the Forestry Commission of Ghana (FC). About 14,000 ha of degraded forest land has been acquired in Akumadan and Berekum, North of Kumasi, through a 50-year renewable land lease accompanied by tripartite commercial Benefit Sharing Agreements (BSA) between GoG, local communities and the project. The project will initially focus on production of billets, poles and high quality round logs for local and export markets. This project is an innovative opportunity to catalyze private sector involvement in climate change mitigation and green growth efforts by supporting a scalable concept in a region with high potential for demonstration and replication. It is being implemented by Form Ghana Ltd (Project Company) in close collaboration with the Government of Ghana through the Forestry Commission. It is the first FSC certified Plantation Company in Ghana and West Africa, and it is already producing Carbon Credits as per VCS standards.
Objectives
The objective of the project is to establish and manage 11,700 ha of sustainable commercial forest plantation composed of 10% indigenous tree species and 90% teak.
Target Groups
The main beneficiary of the project is the population of Ghana. The project is expected to create 860 jobs (320 permanent workers and 540 casual/contract workers) mostly for the fringe communities where livelihood is predominantly subsistent, hence improving household incomes. This increase in people with stable wages will increase local spending and create an inductive environment for the development of services.
Addressing the emergency humanitarian needs of drought-affected IDPs through integrated Shelter/NFIs and HLP s
Objectives
This project is an integrated intervention of two sectors – Shelter and HLP. It is designed to address the risk of famine and improve the protection and lifesaving through shelter/NFIs and HLP response to the drought-affected IDP populations in Baidoa district of Bay region - South West State (SWS). This integrated response is strategically linked with the SHF RA4 2022 for famine prevention. Importantly, this integrated shelter/NFIs and HLP project is targeting the same IDP sites/locations with other sectors for convergence in Badioa. The action based on this grant, HINNA intends to reach 43,516 drought-affected populations – 27,516 for shelter/NFIs and 16,000 for HLP (7,252hhs) in total in Eight (8) IDP sites in Baidoa including minority IDP site through adequate access to each sector in order to meet different needs of the people of concern. The project will use community participatory approach in collaboration with different levels of the community as well as established camp committees who have already participated during assessment survey and project designing stage. Through the selection of project beneficiaries, HINNA will employ predetermined selection criterion by two clusters in work closely with partners in the same location who are implementing other sectors programs for ensuring the integrated response is delivered to people in need for convergence with more consideration of gender mainstreaming. HINNA's main shelter activities is to assist 4,586 IDP HHs (27,516 individuals) in the construction of 1,686 Emergency Shelter Kits (ESKs) to 1,686 IDP HHs and distribution of 2,900 NFIs to 2900 IDP HHs through in-kind modality, It is worthy to note that 1686 hhs who received ESKs will also receive 1686 NFIs due to their vulnerability needs for both ESKs amp NFIs, meant that 1,214 hhs is to receive NFIs only, the total remains 2900 NFIs + 1686 ESKs = 4586hhs. Through selection criteria the project will give more priority the inclusion of persons with disabilities, marginalized and minorities HHs, female-headed HH, pregnant amp lactating women within the project in the project cycle. 4 to 6 weeks after construction and distribution, PCM/PDM will be carried out through hired enumerators to assess the impact on the services and satisfaction level of beneficiaries for future intervention and lesson learned also CRFM will be conducted in the project period. Through HLP response, the project intends to address the HLP issues of drought-affected populations to improve access to and their ability to claim and enjoy their HLP rights. The HLP, as part of integration package with shelter/NFIs in line with SHF SA4 2022, is also to target the same IDP sites by assisting 2,666hhs (16,000 individuals) to enable safe and protective environment, shelter beneficiaries are being considered as primary beneficiaries. In order to ensure the achievement of proposed actions specific to HLP sector the following steps will be taken: HINNA will undertake comprehensive due diligence exercise including land verifications to ensure land allocations are aligned to due diligence requirements and the ownership is secured through legal documentation. The process will include the engagement of project stakeholders though consultative workshops, FGDs, and preparation of due diligence report to facilitate processing of land tenure documents. Community paralegals will be engaged in the consultations with communities and key stakeholders. Furthermore, with support of local government and project communities, beneficiaries will be supported to obtain land tenure documents (occupancy certificates and land tenure agreements). This process will entail beneficiary identification, verification of documents and payment of land tenure fees (notarization costs), printing and facilitating the distribution of land tenure documents.
To ensure IDP children (girls and boys) benefit from safe primary education in emergencies inside K7-K15 IDP c
Objectives
The objective of this project is to provide access to primary education in emergencies for 1,646 IDP children (823m, 823f) in Banadir (K7-K15) through conditional and restricted vouchers for school fees and for learning materials each for the second and third term in the school year 2016/2017 which can be redeemed at Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) and in contracted shops. The vouchers will be handed out to the parents/guardians (P/G), mostly single mothers, of the learners. The eligible shops have a framework agreement with the Somali partner of Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH), Daryeel Bulsho Guud (DBG), for the distribution of relief items against vouchers including learning materials. The vendors are assessed for their capacity to supply the items listed on the voucher for the number of beneficiaries in the area. This project will compliment two other projects currently been implemented DKH and its local partner DBG in the K7-K15 IDP camps and one in planning. In the first component, through funding from the German Bureau of Foreign Affairs (AA), DKH is implementing a 15 months’ (start 01/04/2016) multi-sectoral project in the K7-K15 IDP Camps in Mogadishu. The AA-project plans, amongst objectives in other sectors, the construction of 30 TLS which comply with International Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) standards in the camps along Afgooye Road. Each TLS shall be composed by 4 classrooms. The camp community shall make an active contribution to the identification of the construction site. Important aspects are the safety of the place and the negotiation of the communities with the land owners to ensure temporary land tenure for the TLS. The classrooms with the measurements of 5 by 8 meters shall host 24 students and 1 teacher each. The AA project will also mobilize 150 teachers from the IDP community to form 30 Teacher Associations (TA), one for each TLS, and train them in Education in Emergencies (EIE). The TLS will be handed over to the TA after construction. Exit strategy for comp. 1 is that the TA will be the owners of the TLS already during a part of the project period. Component 2 concerns the training of TA in Management and Operation. DKH through means from the German Federal Ministry for Economy and Cooperation (BMZ) supports income generating activities (IGA) for IDPs in the same camps. A TA shall operate one TLS as an IGA thus generating teachers’ incentives and operational costs for the TLS through education fees. The BMZ-project will train the TA in business management and the operation of the TLS as private sector institutions and follow-up on the application of the learned stuff. The TA will continue to run the TLS as learning institutions after the end of the project as their own IGA. Components 1 and 2 are a boost to setup the infrastructure that is capable to enrol 3000 children and that can continue self-sustained as IGA. Component 3 and the overall objective of DKH’s education programme is to enrol 2880 IDP children (1440f) in gender parity from the IDP camps along Afgooye road. The present proposal will take on one part of this objective. The target group are children in the age between 5 and 12 years of single female headed households (SFHH) with complex vulnerability that is often gender based and that limit the capacity to earn money. The number of beneficiaries that is not covered through this project will be covered through an anticipated funding provided by Caritas Germany combined with DKH own funds. This will be a project on its own and it will apply the same approach as the presently proposed SHF project. The poorest and most vulnerable IDP households, especially SFHH, may remain in need of external aid for school fees as long as their livelihood situation would not change. Therefore, as an exit strategy, DKH will continue to raise funding for vouchers for education for their children. The BMZ project also targets the same group for gender based IGAs.
