Sustainable Land Management Project
General
The Project's Development and Global Environment Objective is to reduce land degradation and improve land productivity in selected watersheds in targeted regions in Ethiopia.
Sustainable Rural Infrastracture & Watershed Management Sector Project
General
The project is intended to address issues of PRI and watershed management in mountainous provinces of Northern Lao PDR by using an integrated land use planning approach that integrates efficient, sustainable and climate resilient rural infrastructure, and feasible watershed protection measures. For an ecosystem based sustainable rural development, infrastructure and the watershed have to be considered simultaneously. The expected impact of the project will be to achieve sustainable and inclusive rural development. The outcome of the project will be to enhance sustainable, market oriented agricultural production and natural resources management in selected watersheds.
Ethiopia Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project
General
To improve climate resilience, land productivity and carbon storage, and increase access to diversified livelihood activities in selected rural watersheds.

LAND-at-scale Somalia: Saameynta – Scaling-up Solutions to Displacement in Somalia
General
Somalia has over 3.6 million Internally Displaced People (IDPs) following decades of civil war and violent conflict. In addition, a significant increase of droughts and floods due to climate change have forced people away from their rural homes. Most IDPs have relocated in Somalia’s cities which has resulted in rapid urbanization, unplanned city development, and a speculation in land markets. This situation has spurred continuous displacements and forced evictions of IDPs, preventing them from building a sustainable livelihood.This LAND-at-scale project, funded jointly with the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC) and NORAD, aims to contribute to a sustainable integration of IDPs in three Somali cities. Local governments, IDPs as well as host communities will be supported to contribute to a process of inclusive urban development and to apply land value capture for infrastructure development and basic services.Specifically for land governance strengthening, project strategies include:1. Strengthening (technical and institutional) capacities of local authorities to address urban displacement and capacities of IDPs to participate in processes of inclusive urban development.2. Improving tenure security for IDPs to reduce risks of displacements and forced evictions.3. Enhancing the institutional framework within the three target cities to apply a land value capture approach.
Third Phase Community Based Rural Development Project
General
The objective of the Project is to enhance the capacity of rural communities and decentralized institutions for the implementation of local development plans that promote sustainable land and natural resources management and productive investments at commune level.Triggers from Phase 2 to Phase 3: Triggers from Phase 2 to Phase 3 have been met. Phase 3 will therefore consolidate the accomplishments of Phase 1 and 2 of the Community Based Rural Development Program. It will enhance the capacity of rural communities anddecentralized institutions for the implementation of local development plans that promote sustainable land and natural resources management and productive investments at commune level. This will be achieved by (i) pursuing and completing the work on institutionaldevelopment and capacity building initiated in Phase 1 and 2; (ii) implementing the rural land tenure reform law which was promulgated under Phase 2 and enhancing local dispute resolution; and (iii) social, economic and environmental investments at the commune level to reach a sustainable level; while promoting environmental sustainability in the targeted zones. Phase 3 will provide 302 ruralcommunes and the 13 regional communes with capacity building to enable them to take the lead in local development challenges and togovern in a participatory and transparent manner.
Strengthening Land Governance
General
Implemented by three partners, this project strengthens capacity for land governance among government, civil society, and ethnic nationality leaders and communities. The Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) of the University of Bern provides technical support to the government for the implementation of an open access spatial data platform on land-related information. The Land Core Group (LCG) works through a network of local and international NGO and civil society partners to increase capacity for research, advocacy and awareness on land tenure security, while Transnational Institute (TNI) focuses on supporting ethnic nationalities in ceasefire areas to increase their understanding and practices around equitable land governance. All three partners work to build national consensus on approaches to securing land tenure for women and ethnic minorities, including under customary systems.
Reducing Deforestation Through Improved Spatial Planning in Papua Provinces, Indonesia
General
The objective of the programme is to support Indonesia and the provinces of Papua and West Papua to improve spatial plan processes and implementation in order to prevent deforestation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Technical assistance will be provided to improve the revision and implementation of Papua and West Papua provincial spatial plans; to improve transparency and build constituency in spatial planning at provincial level; and to foster national policy dialogue and engagement to support Papua’s commitment to protect its forest. Support will be focused largely on two provinces – Papua and West Papua – and relevant national ministries (particularly Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning), which offer the potential to realise significant reductions in emissions through improved land use planning and economic development strategies which recognise the value of forests to the provincial economies.
