Displaying 1521 - 1525 of 2117Land Registration System Activity
General
Togo Threshold - Land Productivity Project - Land Registration System Activity: The Develop Methodologies Activity seeks to develop and demonstrate practical land registration and land tenure management methodologies that lower costs, decrease time requirements and make land services more accessible to rural producers requiring formal protection of their customary land rights. Once tested, the methodologies shall be incorporated into the New Land Code regulations, and then utilized for national implementation of the New Land Code. The Develop Methodologies Activity shall develop and field-test four land methodologies focused respectively on mapping technology, land information management, land registration requirements and procedures, and land conflict management.
SRJS_ToC_KH Securing livelihoods in the upper Mekong region
General
The Mekong River is the largest and most important river in Cambodia. The Mekong Basin is home to over 40 ecologically critical and threatened animal species, such as the emblematic Mekong Dolphin and many endemic fish species. 60 million people in the Mekong Basin depend on the river for their food and income, as a large part of people’s diets and livelihoods rely directly on fish. The river also provides irrigation water for the country’s agriculture. Due to the fast-growing economy, increasing population and growing urban centers, the demand for food and water has skyrocketed. At the same time, ecosystems that ensure the continuous supply of clean fresh water and fish are under threat from various economic activities, such as hydropower dams, large-scale irrigation development, deforestation, mining, intensive agriculture and unsustainable fish harvesting. The increasing competition for scarce natural resources is leading to tensions between their different users. Over the years, the Cambodian government has issued more than 50 economic land concessions (ELC) for large-scale agricultural production, often on land already occupied by indigenous peoples. With no capacity to defend their ancestral land rights, thousands of families have been evicted from their land without any form of compensation, leaving them with no access to their traditional sources of livelihood and subsistence. Intensive large-scale agricultural production undercuts the price of communities’agricultural products and releases toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers into the water systems, negatively affecting fisheries and the health of the population. Hydropower dams and mining operations threaten the supply and water quality in the Mekong. This is aggravated by the effects of climate change, with seasons fluctuating between long dry spells and widespread and severe flooding. Flooding is a top risk in Cambodia and a leading cause of deaths. Experts warn that fisheries production in the Mekong and the Tonle Sap will be reduced by 50% over the next 30 years when all the projected dams upstream are finally constructed.
Sustainably managed landscapes in Atewa and Juabeso-Bia in Ghana to enhance IPGs and livelihoods
General
GLA Country Context Analysis: The Green Livelihoods Programme (GLA) programme in Ghana works in the Juabeso-Bia landscape in the Western Region and Atewa forest landscape in the country’s Eastern Region. Both landscapes are situated in the tropical evergreen forest zone and are rich in biodiversity, as illustrated by areas that have been designated as Global Significant Biodiversity Areas (GSBA). Both landscapes support the provision of the four International Public Goods (IPGs): water, food security, biodiversity and climate resilience. Juabesa-Bia landscape contains the only biosphere in Ghana and is extensively covered by cocoa plantations. Atewa contains the headwater for some of the important water systems in Ghana notably the Densuriver, on which a major part of the population in Accra depends. However, the landscapes are under serious threats from mining; illegal logging and expansion of farming. The threats are affecting its ability to support the provision of IPGs in the long term and the status of the GSBAs areas. Both landscapes are representative for larger parts of Ghana and face problems that are wide spread in the country. The GLA Ghana programme will be headed by Tropenbos International Ghana, A Rocha Ghana and Friends of the Earth Ghana. Other CSOs will be involved in the implementation of the programme.
Objectives
GLA Country Theory of Change 2016-2020: The GLA programme encourages governments at different levels to enact, implement, enforce and monitor policies and regulations, private sector to apply best sustainable practices, and local communities to be responsible stewards of the natural resources. Local communities will be supported to adopt sustainable natural resources (NR) practices and use nature-based approaches such as agroforestry and agro-ecological farming practices. For these communities, especially women, the reform of the land and tree tenure system is important to make benefit sharing arrangements more equitable. An important instrument to ensure communities’ rights is the Community Resource Management Areas (CREMA) concept, of which the establishment, legalization and up scaling will be promoted. The same accounts for integrated land and water management with strong community participation, which will give local communities greater access to, and control over, their landscapes. As overall approach, the programme will support local communities to engage government and the private sector in the sustainable management of forested resources. District assemblies (DAs) will be encouraged to integrate biodiversity, climate resilience and responsible NR approaches into medium-term development Plans (MTDPs) and participatory land use planning. And efforts will be made to get the private sector to adopt and apply climate smart practices and agro-commodity production systems, landscape standards and sustainable sourcing practices. To achieve these outcomes the Theory of Change shows the following strategies / pathways: the formation of CSO networks and platforms; gender and social inclusiveness in landscape activities and partner organizations; capacity development of CSOs to generate and use evidence; capacity development of CSOs for advocacy and lobby actions; organizational strengthening of participating CSOs.

Land Tenure Security in Kibago and Kayogoro Burundi
General
The overall objective of the project is to sufficiently secure land rights of owners to allow their households to sustainably intensify agricultural production. The project is co-funded by USAID.
Objectives
Outcome 1: Targeted populations make effective use of local land conflicts resolution / mediation mechanisms related to land. Outcome 2: Targeted populations have accepted and put into practice the rules and requirements of formal land management (and how informal user rights of women can be protected) party) are aligned regarding land rights. Outcome 3: SFCs in Kayogoro and Kibago deliver land certification services to the population in both communes in an efficient, effective and non-discrimatory manner
Target Groups
Target are 25 collines in Kayogoro and Kibago (including USAID co-funding: 49 collines).
COMMUNITY FARMING FOR GRASSLAND BIRDS
General
The goals of this project are to implement several of the highest priority actions identified in the Prairie to Pampas Grassland Bird Conservation Business Plan. We propose to 1) to engage local land owners and managers with life-cycle data of individual Bobolinks breeding on their property; this interaction will result in changes in land management that rebalance farming and grassland bird needs; 2) to assess the annual life-cycle of individual Bobolinks by collecting data both while on the breeding grounds and through tracking devices for the entire annual cycle; and 3) to use a community-based approach integrating the Audubon volunteers and undergraduate students in collecting and disseminating these data; 4) establish a network of partners in South America with which to share information gained from this work.
