RA4: Gender equality Outcome: Partners are strengthened to address gender inequalities in communities they work with by seeking to transform the harmful gender norms that hinder women's leadership and access to and control of resources and assets. With outputs: 4.1 Partners organisation strengthened to implement actions aiming at transforming harmful social norms that exclude and increase the vulnerability of women and marginalised communities, 4.2 Partner organisations strengthened to promote upcoming women led movements and women leadership 4.3 Partner organisations supported to develop tools to analyse power dynamics in their organisations and the communities they work with, 4.4 Partners organisations are strengthened to link up with specialized organisations to combat GBV RA5: Equitable and just access to adequate housing Outcome: Partner organisations are strengthened to reduce rights holders vulnerability to climate change by promoting equitable and just access to adequate housing. With outputs: 5.1 Partners organisations are strengthened to develop and disseminate housing models that are resilient to climate change effects, considering women need and privacy, and are inclusive, 5.2 Increased uptake and support for environmentally sustainable products and resources in housing by the rights-holders, 5.3 Partners organisations are strengthened to undertake policy advocacy for equitable and just access to adequate housing, 5.4 Partners are strengthened to support settlement of IDP through access to land for farming and housing and promote peaceful society. RA6: Stronger organization Outcome: Partner organisations are supported to become effective and sustainable agents of transformational change With outputs: 6.1 Partner organisations are more democratic, transparent, equitable, inclusive, accountable and member led, 6.2 Partners organisations strengthened to mobilize and support collective action of rights-holders living in poverty, 6.3 Partner organisations strengthened to deliver demand driven, equal, equitable and justice member owned services, 6.4 Undertake policy advocacy for policy reform of discriminatory and unjust laws, policies, and national strategies on the right to food and climate change.

General

This project is developed jointly by Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs (FGA) of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), Republic Authority for Geodetic and Property Legal Affairs (RGA) of the Republika Srpska (RS) and Lantmäteriet, The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority in cooperation with the Swedish Tax Agency. The expected outcomes of the project are: Overall Capacity Development: GA are modern, transparent and efficient organiza-tions contributing to economic and social development in close cooperation with stake-holders involved in land administration in BiH. Mass Valuation: GA contribute to a transparent property market by managing a real estate mass valuation system to benefit all citizens and the business community. Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI): GA and other spatial data providers enable service-based sharing of up-to-date and accurate spatial data used by stakeholders to face and resolve sustainable development challenges. Geodetic Infrastructure: The accurate, reliable, and easily accessible geodetic infra-structure is globally integrated and used by all stakeholders.

Objectives

Impact objective: All citizens and organizations in BiH access and benefit from transparent, fair, and democratic services based on accurate land, real estate and geospatial information provided by the Geodetic Authorities in cooperation with key stakeholders. Outcome objectives per component: Overall Capacity Development: Geodetic Agencies (GAs) are modern, transparent and efficient organizations contributing to economic and social development in close cooperation with stakeholders involved in land administration in BiH. Mass Valuation: GAs contribute to a transparent property market by managing a real estate mass valuation system to benefit all citizens and the business community. Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI): GAs and other spatial data providers enable service-based sharing of up-to-date and accurate spatial data used by stakeholders to face and resolve sustainable development challenges. Geodetic Infrastructure: The accurate, reliable, and easily accessible geodetic infratructure is globally integrated and used by all stakeholders.

General

Central Africa is home to the world’s second largest rainforest. Its stock absorb carbon and is home to more than 50 % of terrestrial biodiversity, while only covering 6 % of the Earth’s surface. Rainforests are under threat and the loss of rainforests lead to loss of biodiversity and increasing emissions of greenhouse gases. The Central African Forest Initiative theory of change is to contribute to low emission development in partner countries through interventions in the land use and forestry sector because of the immense value forests represent for humans and the planet. CAFIs two main impacts are 1) Emission reductions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhanced removals and 2) Sustainable development co-benefits: biodiversity conservation, increased food security, increased tenure security, women´s empowerment, better business climate, increased revenues, increased fiscal revenues.

Objectives

Objectives of the intervention CAFI´s (Central African Forest Initiative) theory of change is to contribute to low emission development in partner countries through interventions in the land use and forestry sector because of the immense value forests represent for humans and the planet. To implement the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, to fight poverty and to fulfill the post 2020 biodiversity framework. This will be done through reduced deforestation and forest degradation. CAFI´s climate and development objectives are attained through the implementation of ambitious national investment frameworks that decouple development from deforestation. Such socioeconomic transformation will come from measures that properly address both direct drivers of deforestation (such as agriculture, wood energy, forestry and infrastructure/mining) and underlying drivers (such as lack of land use planning and insecure land tenure, poor governance and rapid population growth). Targets are reduction of annual rates of deforestation and degradation compared to reference scenario, e.g. Gabon: reductions of emissions from the LULUCF of 50% by 2025 (compared to 2005), DRC: provincial integrated programmes aim at a 10% reduction in emissions, RDC: objective to stabilize forest cover at 63.5%. The CAFI M&E framework is built on its Theory of Change, which seeks to achieve two main impacts: 1) emission reductions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhanced removals 2) sustainable development co-benefits: biodiversity conservation, increased food security, increased tenure security, women´s empowerment, better business climate, increased revenues, increased fiscal revenues. through the following seven outcomes: 1. sustainable agricultural investments 2. sustainable wood energy investments 3. sustainable forest governance and investments, and enhanced permitting, monitoring and enforcement capacity 4. sustainable siting and development of infrastructure and mining investment 5. optimal land use planning and land tenure 6. reduced demographic pressure on forests 7. Improved governance, inter-ministerial coordination and transparency (including permitting and fiscal policies) CAFI Terms of Reference and national investment frameworks are to provide full details on expected outputs as well as country specific theories of change. At the outcome level, these outputs will ensure that: Sustainable agricultural practices lead to less land conversion and increased food security Sustainable alternatives to current wood energy practices are adopted Forestry sector and protected areas institutions and stakeholders have the capacity and the legal framework to promote, monitor and enforce sustainable management of forests Future infrastructure and mining projects minimize their overall footprint on forests Land use planning decisions ensure a balanced representation of sectoral interests and keep forests standing, and better tenure security does not incentivize forest loss by individuals, communities or companies Population growth and migration to forests and forest fronts are slowed down Better inter ministerial coordination and governance resulting in a permitting, enforcement and fiscal regime of economic activities that do not push economic actors to forest conversion and illegal activities and a business climate favorable to forest friendly investments.
