Maps for sustainable development
General
The main project goal is to supply maps for a wide range of usage, including good land management, land use planning, public works and completion of the cadaster. Base map is a key component to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI), which Moldova wants to establish to meet the requirements of the EU Inspire directive. Last, but not least, local authorities will benefit from getting access to up-to-date base maps.
Water Stewardship Activities, Ica’
General
ContextThe Peruvian coast receives in only 3 months almost all the water it will use during the year. Together with Trujillo (Chao-Viru) and Piura, Ica is an agro-export hub of great importance for the Peruvian economy and its products are largely exported to European markets via the port of Rotterdam. Peru has three major basins: western (Pacific Ocean), eastern (Atlantic Ocean) and Titicaca (Peruvian-Bolivian border). The Pacific basin, where Ica is located, only represents 2.18% of the water available to the country; however, it provides water to 66% of the Peruvian population, which is why it is vital to ensure sustainable and environmental friendly value chains.The Villacuri aquifer in Ica continues to be the most exploited in Peru and its recharge is of vital importance to continue with agro-exporting. The Ica region in Peru is a major sourcing region for agro-exporting companies and deals with several challenges related to water scarcity: (1) less water availability during the dry season in the Ica catchment due to climate change and melting (or non-existence) of glaciers and permanent snow, (2) erosion caused by wind and precipitation upstream, (3) degradation of ecosystems, (4) increased runoff of freshwater to the sea during the rainy season causing floods and (5) lack of water availability for livelihoods in the rural communities upstream. AmbitionThe overall ambition is to increase water infiltration in upstream Ica combined with a reduction in soil erosion, in order to improve the livelihoods of upstream communities. Learnings of those interventions are to be embedded in a sound, locally validated and date-driven water stewardship plan that promotes catchment-wide water management.The approach of this project is two-fold, it focuses on water management and livelihoods. In terms of water management, the approach will be to support ongoing landscape interventions and to evaluate the impact of these interventions against the hypothesized benefits. This is done by quantitative monitoring specifically focused at better understanding the infiltration benefits of the infiltration ditches, reforestation, and natural vegetation restoration. In terms of livelihoods, the approach will be to use participatory processes to identify community-based land management plans and to validate those plans through a local water stewardship approach. The required maintenance of the infiltration ditches will be addressed as part of the community livelihoods and community-based land management component of the approach.ActivitiesThe scope of activities includes the following:1. Create capacity with community stakeholders on land (and water) management and restoration strategies and practices, that support livelihoods (livestock and agriculture) while at the same time generating catchment outcomes like flood and erosion control and, direct livelihood benefits of the nature-based solution of infiltration ditches and tree planting.2. Co-develop a feasible and financeable plan for community-based land management and restoration activity in the Tambo region.3. Generate pilot activity by community members for land management and restoration. Activities focus on improvement of livelihood, using rural socio economical sustainable development, for example: improvement of local markets and basin local value chain.4. Embed results, learnings, and further plans for the landscape-intervention & nature-based solutions into the water stewardship plan.5. Based on the outcomes of the activities during this project, develop a project plan on how to continue the project and possibly scale-up in consecutive.
LAND-at-scale (LAS)
General
LAND-at-scale contributes to improving land governance and can be beneficial to economic development, peace and stability in developing countries. The programme supports actions and interventions that contribute to sustainable livelihoods, better food and nutrition security and social justice. LAND-at-scale strives to contribute towards more equal access to land and natural resources, reduced conflicts and competing claims over land and natural resources and more sustainable and efficient use of land and natural resources for food, housing and production. As a result, LAND-at-scale will contribute directly to SDGs: 1, 2, 5, 11, 15 and 17 and may contribute indirectly to SDG 8, 9, 10, 13 and 16.
Enhancing integrated sustainable management to safeguard Samoa's natural resources
Objectives
To equip and empower local communities to safeguard Samoa’s indigenous species, natural ecosystems and food production systems from Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and unsustainable land use practices.

Target Groups
The socio-economic benefits in the project will be observed at the individual (household level) as well as at the collective community level for economic groups like farmers, industrial plantation and forest concession groups as follows: ? At least 25,096 people in the target catchments will directly benefit through improved IAS prevention and management, SLM and SFM activities and improved livelihoods and incomes of which an estimated 12,222 (48.7%). ? As a result of initiatives on improved forest and riparian conservation activities and environmental practices in catchments lands, additional people living in and around the target catchment (adjacent) will indirectly benefit from improved and sustainable land management, reduced erosion and water flows. ? Implementation of strategies and mainstreaming of IAS prevention and management in CIMPs will result into sustainable practices on plantation, agriculture, water conservation, value chain products and services. This will collectively result in better conservation and livelihoods outcomes; ? Improved access to basic goods and technical services, technology and improved agricultural, forestry and fisheries practices, as well as diversification of livelihoods in agriculture, fisheries and non-farm sector including tourism and agri-based products will ensure more livelihood options and better prices and income. ? The focus on addressing gender inequality wherein various initiatives, such as promotion of alternative livelihood options, participation of women in various local conservation committees are proposed. The project envisages more gender equality in context of sex ratio, decision making powers, ownership and control on resources and women leadership as well as participation; ? A reduction in the IAS conflicts and increase in effective implementation of sustainable practices. The project expects a decrease in IAS infestation in the nine pilot catchment areas ? Incremental funding through new cost-recovery measures will improve biosecurity measures, protect critical biodiversity hotspots and provide for improved and diversified livelihoods and incomes and a sustainability of such investments beyond the life of the project; ? Advancement of multi-cropping systems (including agroforestry) in degraded plantation and small holder lands will enhance Stable or improved populations of native species (by reduction of IAS threats) species and improved forest environments will greatly enhance visitor experiences for increasing potential for ecotourism and community financial benefit.
