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.

Target Groups
The project promotes full and productive employment and decent work in rural areas, aiming at the progressive realization of their right to Decent Rural Employment[1]. Strengthening of key value-chains and introduction of target SLM measures will lead to improved income generation opportunities and more diversified livelihoods for around 12,500 people (50% women) in the target Governates and landscapes. Additional socio-economic benefits include the following and will be calculated during initial stages of project implementation: · Number of land managers with access to advisory or extension services (total # per administrative district per region)· Increased investments in SLM· Increased awareness of LDN concepts, LD impacts and LDN principles· Increased livelihood and economic resilience through improved market access by smallholder to climate resilient value chains · Increased social resilience and human well-being (Gender equality, access to information and finance) of 12,500 beneficiaries (Women 6,250; Men 6,250)· Improved access to finance for small-holder farmers· Improved food security through increased productivity and delivery of ecosystem services (project contribution defined, but not monitored) [1] Specific guidance on how FAO can promote the Four Pillars of Decent Work in rural areas is provided in the Quick reference for addressing decent rural employment (as well as in the full corresponding Guidance document).

Strengthen CCCM services to improve the living conditions and enhancing access to HLP rights of drought-affect
Objectives
The proposed integrated response aims to respond to the urgent needs of drought-affected IDPs in Bardheere, Ceel Waak, and Luuq through the implementation of Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), Protection, and Shelter/NFIs activities. This drought response will fill existing gaps in ESNFI, CCCM, HLP, and support and complement activities undertaken under other ongoing projects. NoFYL will implement a multi-cluster intervention around Protection and CCCM aiming at ensuring people displaced by drought who join existing sites can immediately receive lifesaving services through community outreach and ensuring mechanisms for communication and feedback on multisector services are available, Improve the living conditions of drought-affected populations through site improvement and maintenance activities that look to decongest and raise the standard of living for individuals living in IDP sites, strengthening coordination structures, improving the coordination, ensures equitable access to services and protection of existing and newly vulnerable drought displaced persons, including the elderly and persons with disabilities in IDP sites, support CMC's to ensure community participation and self-management of sites and information management at a site level. On HLP, intervention NoFYL will undertake eviction risk assessments and monitoring of threats to evictions by assessing potential eviction sites to inform the response. Provision of case management services, legal counseling around land tenure documentation, provision of post-eviction cash-based response packages, and coordinating referrals to other complementary services. ESNFI intervention will be complemented by HAPPen the Shelter partners by improving the living conditions of drought-affected IDPs through the distribution of emergency NFI kits and emergency shelter kits, cases that are identified by NoFYL monitors with Shelter needs will be referred to HAPPen for support. This project will fill existing gaps in ESNFI, CCCM, and HLP support and complement activities undertaken under other ongoing projects. NoFYL will carry CCCM satisfaction survey in all targeted locations within 1 month of each assistance intervention sampling 40-60% of beneficiaries in each location. NoFYL will implement these activities in 15 sites in Bardheere (7), Ceelwaq (3), and luuq (5) with 2,494 households, approximately 17,744 (3042 men, 5,965 women, 3,450 boys, 5,287 girls) will benefit from this intervention, as well as the whole community working in these sites including local authorities, clusters, and other organizations. The multi-sectoral approach will be useful to create synergies enabling the concentration of services and expertise within the same location and the same population leading to achieving a greater impact. NoFYL and HAPPen will build on each other's strengths and better complement each other, ensuring community acceptance and success in implementation. The synergy between the 3 sectoral partners will ensure sound management of the program, greater impact, efficiency, and more cost-effective operations. The project target sites include the following Bardheere District Sites - Mandeeq (152 HHs), Towfiiq (113 HHs), Horseed (252 HHs), Tawakal (139 HHs), Ceelwak (159 HHs), Al Aamin (67 HHs), and Camp Jirix (192 HHs) Ceelwaq District Sites - Tula Qurax (237 HHs), Bardheeera (215 HHs), Qoryoley IDP Camp (205 HHs). Luuq District Sites - Akaro (298 HHs), Busley (352 HHs), Duyacley (298 HHs), Kulmiye (311 HHs), and Hillac IDP camp (154 HHs)
Interrogating Large-Scale Land Acquisitions and Their Implications for Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
General
Despite their critical role in promoting food security on the African continent, women continue to be marginalized in the distribution and allocation of land. The implications for both family survival and national food security are far-reaching. This project will support research to examine the conditions needed to allow women to become empowered to participate in large-scale land acquisition (LSLAs) processes. The objective is to help ensure that sub-Saharan Africa puts the legal and policy frameworks in place to foster better accountability and legitimacy on issues of land governance. African women must continue to engage in food crop farming to ensure food security for their families and for the continent at large. This is only possible if their right to land is protected, respected, and fulfilled. Previous studies have shown that African women's right to land is seriously under threat. Traditionally, African women have not had equal access to land and weak land laws and governance processes related to LSLAs are further eroding their access. We are now learning more about the impact of LSLAs on livelihoods in affected communities but little evidence exists on gender differences. Little is also known about how African women have developed strategies to foster more equitable land governance policies and practices to ensure greater accountability and transparency around LSLAs. This research seeks to fill these knowledge gaps. The ultimate goal of the project is to promote land governance policies that treat both genders more equally and that contribute to greater accountability and transparency around LSLAs. The research will be implemented in six communities in three African countries: Ghana, Cameroon, and Uganda. All three have experienced LSLAs. The research team will explore the following: -land acquisition processes; -winners and losers in these transactions; -ways in which the losers (specifically, rural African women) respond to their situation; and, -extent to which these responses are successful. The project will create gender-sensitive evidence-based knowledge that can be used by women, local communities, non-state actors, and public authorities to enhance accountability and legitimacy in LSLAs processes. It will also propose gender inclusive strategies for formal and informal institutions that will respect, promote, and protect women's rights in LSLAs processes.

By developing a platform from where SLM may be scaled, the benefits realized at a local level may be facilitated and supported at a regional level. Socio-economic benefits accrued at this local level will be largely through the upgraded value chain, increased revenue and productivity of local land users and related enterprises through improved SLM of communal land. This will furthermore lead to improved employment opportunities, with increased revenues for individuals, as well as the trickle-down effect to local vendors and service providers.The drivers of these benefits, as outlined in projet activities, include the following:1. Training and capacity building for improved SLM on local land, enterprise development (Mentor farmers and Para-vets); financial and market navigation.2. Improved institutional coordination (community, government and private) towards SLM;3. Improved land use sustainability and productivity through land restoration activities and improved SLM;4. Strengthened land tenure arrangements;5. Improved, incentive driven, access to finance and markets; 6. Access to small-grants mechanism for enterprise scale up; and7. Partnerships developed between commercial and informal stakeholders;The activities at a local level will contribute to the restoration of 130000 ha of landscapes through improved SLM at target sites.These local drivers of socio-economic benefits will be accrued at regional and national levels through mainstreaming of SLM. This mainstreaming is enabled through establishing the following: 8. A Knowledge Management Platform to inform evidence based SLM at multiple scales;9. A Sustainable Land Management Plan (SLMP) that informs regional SLM;10. Participatory Rangeland Management Plans (PRMP) that inform local SLM;11. The Rangeland/Biodiversity Stewardship Agreement that formalizes SLM intent;12. Training and capacity building for provincial landscape management institutions;13. Establishment of an SLM innovative finance mechanism; and14. Improved access to SLM finance through national development banks.The activities in their entirety will contribute to improved governance of 800000 ha through improved capacity to implement improved SLM at a regional scale.Implemented SLM will lead to improved land productivity from increased soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil moisture resulting in increased agricultural production and sustainable conditions for stocking rates of livestock which will support sustainable improved/maintained output potential of land. Socio-economic benefits accrued at the regional scale will therefore be linked directly to improved SLM of communal rangelands and the upgraded value chains. Improved SLM will also indirectly link through improved environmental benefits of reduced land degradation through restoration activities. Improved SOC will contribute to climate change adaptation and an increase in soil moisture will increase drought resilience. Further co-benefits of the project will include the conservation of biodiversity, improved hydrological cycles and mitigation of climate change. Environmental benefits will be accrued through improved flow of ecosystem services which impact socio-economic wellbeing of beneficiaries from local through regional and international scales.
