Strenghtening Local Communities Resilience to Climate Change Sudan
General
To contribute to the strengthening of local communities' resilience and sustainable livelihoods' to better respond to and cope with climate change: The overall objective of the proposed action is in line with the objective of the European Union (EU) GCCA+ programme, aiming at reducing communities’ vulnerability to climate change. The action will contribute to an increase of income at household level in targeted communities, gained from sustainable, adapted farming and pastoralism and/or alternative Income Generating Activities (IGA)s. This increase of income is used as a proxy indicator for resilience. NLRC lead in partnership with SRCS, Danish RC, Swedish RC and Spanish RC Co-funding PMF for EUR480.000
Objectives
Activities under Result 1: A 1.1.1 Conduct a natural resource mapping and feasibility studies for better land use planning and implementation (as a baseline). A 1.1.2 Set up and train community based natural resources management (CBNRM) groups to develop and follow up on CBNRM plans based on participatory assessments. A 1.1.3 Conduct awareness campaigns to all stakeholders on implications of climate change and climate variability as well as the available of early warning information sources and relevant early action A 1.1.4 Facilitate exchange of knowledge and good practices (Case studies) on natural resource management and CCA between communities. A 1.1.5 Carry out capacity building of local partner (SRCS) on climate change adaptation (CCA), NRM and project management. Activities under Result 2: A1.2.1 Support the establishment/improvement (esp. targeting women), of nurseries to support rehabilitation of communal farmland, forests and home gardens as IGA. A 1.2.2 Rehabilitate/expand/establish community forest and/or shelterbelts and windbreaks (depending on relevance and feasibility). A 1.2.3 Construct/rehabilitate water harvesting structures for reforestation, water conservation and other water provision facilities for subsistence/communal /small-scale farmers and farmland to adapt to the variation in climate change. A 1.2.4 Provide training to community water committees on operation and maintenance of water structures and energy facilities. A 1.2.5 Enhance the household flexibility and resilience to handle climate change and external stresses and shocks by a range of gender-sensitive enhancement initiatives, e.g. access to credit/loan as IGA (VSLA), as identified in the NRM assessments A 1.2.6 To cope with climate changes and combat desertification, provide support to local government agriculture, forestry and veterinary extension services and research centers to reach out to the target communities for training on agriculture techniques, applying smart agricultural approach principles adapted to climate change and the sustainable management of natural resources through field schools /demonstration plots. Activities under Result 3: A 1.3.1 Increase available irrigation water through the maintenance of existing boreholes and improving equipment and installations using solar power energy. A 1.3.2 Promote the use of improved/alternative solutions for cooking, such as fuel-efficient stoves or biogas, making use of revolving fund or IGA development for sustainability. A 1.3.3 Conduct community awareness campaign and facilitate exchange of knowledge and good practices on the use of renewable energy between communities through exchange visits.
Target Groups
90,330 beneficiaries (across all activities)
Agriculture (Land, Agriculture and Water in Asia)
General
This project is part of the LAW (Land, Agriculture and Water) in Asia project. The objectives of this project are to double the income of smallholder farmers in Sugarcane, Soy, Palm Oil, Cotton, Tea and Aquaculture and miners working with Industrial Minerals, while reducing their negative impacts on forests, water and soil; to stem and reverse the accelerating land degradation; and to arrest and reverse the depletion of groundwater. The use of the digital tools (D3S) will allow the farmers to analyse compliance with different standards, assess impact on ecology, and benchmark performance. It will replace the costly audits for certification. Farmers will be supported with cheaper drip irrigation systems, combining fertigation and nutrigation, and with the re-use of wastewater (industrial effluents from sugarcane mills and sewage water from municipalities). SMEs will be assisted to provide services, aggregate produce and sell the products from the farmers. In India, we reached 182,268 small scale producers and 443,532 workers. We brought 210,569 hectares of land under better farm and climate smart agriculture practices. In addition, jobs were created for 1,820 entrepreneurs to start providing inputs and services, such as harvesting, land levelling, threshing, thereby improving the access to quality seeds, services and knowledge for farmers in India. Another 5,986 women were supported to start their own businesses. In 2019 we have trained 25,167 soy farmers in good agricultural practices, leading to a 12% yield increase. We have also trained 50,334 farm workers in the adoption of Good Practices, new technologies and safety measures. 2,556 women received specific training on financial literacy, savings, access to finance, entrepreneurship and soy food processing. To create a robust infrastructure for small farmers’ access to knowledge, inputs and markets, we have supported 15 rural entrepreneurs, 10 extension services and 5 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) that together reach out to 15,039 small farmers and provide production and market knowledge, agri-inputs and technological advisory services to farmers. Together with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and 10 sugarcane mills we have reached out to 94,808 small scale sugarcane farmers, their 269,973 workers, and brought 89,991 hectares of land under sustainable production. About 70% of the producers report a 15% yield increase, while sugar extraction rates at the mills increased by 2%. Additionally 300 billion liter of water have been saved in the last 3 years.
Improved Livelihoods for 3,000 Poor Farmers and their Families in Rural Malawi
General
This project aims to address the inter -related challenges of economic insecurity and access to energy, to reduce levels of poverty for a target group of 3,000 rural poor households (1,800 of which are headed by women). Based in the districts of Mchinji, Lilongwe and Rumphi, the project will also improve the lives of more than 13,800 people1 (8,280 will be women and girls). By installing solar units and establishing irrigation sites, 500 farmers (300 will be women) will be trained on sustainable management of resources and use irrigation to improve their crops and increase production. Start -up solar power units will enable an additional 1,000 farmers (600 will be women) to start adding value to their produce and become linked to commercial buyers and reliable markets. A further 1,500 farmers (900 will be women) will develop small scale business enterprises using solar power. We will work with the Government of Malawi to formulate a legal framework governing the use of renewable energy.
