Objectives

Target Groups
The project is aligned with GEF focal area CCM-3-8, i.e. “Foster enabling conditions for mainstreaming mitigation concerns into sustainable development strategies through capacity building initiative for transparency.” The project will contribute to the improvement of local and global environmental conditions through enhancing transparency related to GHG emissions, impacts of climate change, and mitigation and adaptation actions in the country. Strengthened MRV will allow the government to better assess investments in mitigation and adaptation measures, and may result in more efficient expenditures on climate-related activities, which in turn could optimize reductions in GHG emissions. Improved MRV will also allow the government to compare the relative costs and benefits of mitigation and adaptation measures so that it will be able to highlight and support cost-effective, high-impact adaptation measures. This project contributes to the country’s commitments under the UNFCCC to enable it to address climate change considerations (mitigation of GHG emissions and reduction of vulnerability to climate change). project activities contribute directly to increasing the extent to which state institutions base their actions on the principals of sustainable development and increasing the capacities of public actors to implement, monitor, and evaluate policies related to environment, climate change and nature protection. The enhanced MRV system to be proposed under Component 2 is designed to avoid duplication and result in an efficient system that will reduce time burdens and costs to state institutions in data collection and analysis. The project will also assist the country in achieving the SDG 13 by supporting the integration of climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning; building knowledge and improving education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning, and promotion of mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in the country. The project will also contribute to achieving SDG5 by supporting empowerment of women in decision-making, land ownership and through gender-sensitive budgeting.
Rehabilitation and provision of productive assets for communities suffering from settler violence and annexati
Objectives
The project will contribute to the HRP strategic objectives 2 amp 3, the HF allocation strategy objective of supporting the livelihoods of food-insecure households in the West Bank and the FSS cluster strategic objective 1 to protect livelihoods of vulnerable households, and restore / enhance their resilience, food security and productive capacity. It will do so by ensuring rehabilitation and provision of productive assets and inputs for farmers owned lands in Area C located in 5 villages in Ramallah Governorate (Budrus, Ni'lin, Qibya, Rantis, and Shuqba). The selected areas are facing specific challenges to cultivate their lands due to different measures imposed by the occupation regime including settler violence, demolition, confiscation, the separation wall, and the annexation plan. The project is based on a needs assessment conducted by PUI in early December 2021 that identified the most pressing needs of vulnerable farmers and communities affected by the Israeli plans of annexation and subject to either settler related incidents or violations from the Israeli forces. In addition, PUI coordinated with FSS, MoA Central and MoA directorate of Ramallah, in order to identify and prioritize FSS needs, priorities, and localities in this Governorate. In order to respond to the identified needs and to contribute to the HRP, HF and cluster objectives of this first allocation, PUI and Al'ard will provide two types of assistance: - Support 330 vulnerable farmers working in lands adjacent to the settlements or the wall, whose livelihoods are threatened by occupation measures. Agricultural roads will be rehabilitated (10 km), which will increase a safe access to lands and contribute to preventing land confiscations. - Provide cisterns to other 10 farmers to enhance the supplementary irrigation to trees and crops in their lands that are subjected to attacks and intimidation from settlers or / and Israeli Forces. -Provide 20 women farmers whose lands are located in areas that require prior coordination with the Israeli authorities to access, or close to the separation wall with olive harvest machines to support the harvesting during olive harvest season. In total, 330 farmers’ households (1617 individuals) will benefit directly from the Action. Selection criteria for those farmers is depending mainly on the socio-economic vulnerability criteria. It is based also on technical criteria including topography of the land, slope percentage, soil depth, land ownership, and planted trees (in addition to protection and vulnerability considerations, including IHL violations, close to settlement, the separation wall, and access restricted areas, female headed-households, households with people with disabilities, etc.). The project will be implemented in partnership with Al'ard and each organization will bring their expertise to the partnership: Al'ard supporting agriculture from a development perspective focusing on water activities and PUI rehabilitating lands and assets, easing access and providing support to farmers with a protection lens through emergency and protective responses to settler-related incidents. Furthermore, the project will complement the Action of the West Bank Protection Consortium by covering a need gap in the provision of assistance and livelihood support to vulnerable farmers in Area C. Besides, PUI will mobilize its Consortium experience (tools, methodology, and network) to strengthen its intervention during the lifetime of the project. PUI will also be vigilant in mainstreaming protection, gender and other cross-cutting issues throughout service provision. By recognizing the different needs, risks, and capacities of different age, gender and diversity (AGD) groups, PUI ensures tailored and safe responses for those who need them the most. Moreover, PUI has a robust reporting and handling system in place for Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) related complaints.
