GEF GOLD+ Bolivia: Enhancing the formalization and mercury reduction in artisanal and small-scale gold mining
Objectives
To reduce the use of mercury and increase incomes in the ASGM sector in Bolivia through a holistic, multisectoral integrated formalization approach, and increasing access to finance leading to the adoption of sustainable mercury-free technologies and access to traceable gold supply chains

Target Groups
495. Mercury reduction is the project's main objective and key benefit for both the environment and human health. Considering that Bolivia is currently one of the main mercury-importing hubs where the use of this chemical is high and widespread, the contribution of the project in terms of global environmental benefits will be significant as well as the contribution to the country’s obligations under the Minamata Convention on Mercury. 496. In addition, the project will contribute to economic, social, and environmental benefits supporting sustainable development in the country. 497. Gold mining is an essential source of economic income and job opportunities, especially considering that most of the cooperative members and personnel linked to the ASGM activities come from rural areas. However, due to the lack of control on trade and exports, inefficient gold recovery technologies and reduced formalization of the operations, considerable revenues are not being ripped and benefitting the state, producers, and society in general. By strengthening national and local authorities' technical and institutional capacities, policies, regulations, and measures for greater control and monitoring of gold producing and trading activities could be implemented. This will reduce gold smuggling, tax evasion and illicit trade resulting in increased revenues at the central, regional, and municipal levels. 498. The project will promote a scenario in which the ASGM sector can increase its economic incident and impact at the local and national level for the thousands of families that depend primarily, secondarily, or temporarily on this activity. Additional economic gains will be achieved through more efficient technologies and consequent higher gold recovery and responsible supply chains that will ensure access to formal markets and better prices. The economic gains can then translate to social well-being and livelihood security. 499. Specific to women miners, the project will improve their access to finance, savings, and entrepreneurship, which will lead to economic empowerment that contributes to their well-being and their families. Gender mainstreaming activities will reduce gender inequalities among project beneficiaries. 500. The transition towards more efficient and/or cleaner recovery technologies and the introduction of better practices will improve the working and living conditions of the miners including women and vulnerable population, leading to a better health for all. Better mining practices will also improve the quality of water, and therefore host communities will have access to cleaner water. 501. The miners and communities will increase their skills and knowledge, leading to improved education in mining areas. Furthermore, promoting formalization processes will also allow miners to access social and financial services. Proper development of the ASGM sector can reduce conflicts over land use or linked to environmental pollution.502. Finally, and in line with the innovative approach followed by the GOLD+ programme, apart from mercury reduction, the project will allow for better land management and proper handling and disposal of mine tailings, which will benefit biodiversity and will make communities more resilient to climate change.
UNDP Peru. Support to Phase II of the Peru, Norway, Germany DoI. Del 2
General
Peru approved in 2019 the implementation plan for how to reduce deforestation under the political agreement with Norway. The project will help Peru execute the implementation plan. The project builds on a former project: PER-16/0002, and will advance titling of indigenous community lands, zoning unassigned forest land and help protect national parks.
A global comparative study for achieving REDD+ results
General
The purpose of the project is: -REDD+ policymakers and practitioners at all levels know what works in REDD+ policy formulation and implementation in order to achieve 3E outcomes. -Awareness of the challenges and opportunities provided by REDD+ for improved sustainable forest management as part of a no-regrets approach to REDD+ -Adoption of low carbon emission policies and best practices at landscape and national scales that contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable land management.
Improved water allocation and irrigation efficiency in Ziway-Shalla basin
General
Based on a systematic approach, the project aims to address the key problems causing the decline in water quantity and quality in the Ziway-Shalla basin, namely: - Unchecked and inefficient use of irrigation water by smallholder horticultural farmers;- Lack of transparent and fair water allocation and sharing model;- Limited institutional framework and capacity for basin management;- Poor watershed management causing erosion and sedimentation.The partners simultaneously engage in four groups of activities. Work Package 2 focuses on supporting smallholder farmers to improve their productivity and water use efficiency. Demonstration fields will be established at 150 lead farmers at multiple locations; another 650 farmers will participate in the pilot. Through training and field days, partners aim to broadly demonstrate a business case for improved farming practices with efficient irrigation, reaching the majority of irrigation farmers in the area.The local public authority responsible for the basin management – RVLBA – will be supported to develop, in a participatory way, a Water Allocation Plan (WAP) based on water permits and tariffs, and ensure that this plan is endorsed by stakeholders. Water meters will be introduced at the pilot group by the end of the project (Work Package 3). Furthermore, Dutch expert partners will engage in institutional strengthening of RVLBA, aiming to enhance the organisation with the right infrastructure and capacities to manage the basin resources responsibly, based on real-time data and clear internal procedures, while covering its operational costs from water revenues (Work package 4).Finally, in Work package 5, the project will undertake a range of watershed interventions at the most critical sites, generating on-farm benefits for upland farmers while increasing their awareness with regard to unsustainable land management, subsequent erosion and long-term consequences of such practices.By the end of the project, results will be achieved in terms of decreased water abstraction and sedimentation, with improved income for smallholder farmers. Conditions will be in place for broad rollout of the Water Allocation Plan, including the introduction of water meters at irrigated farms, which is the precondition for sustainable management of the water resources in the area.
