Displaying 271 - 275 of 2117Promotion of sustainable agroecological production for smallholder farmers in rural São Paulo
General
This project will strengthen viability of small farmers' agroecological production through improved production of and training in production and use of bioinputs (natural fertilisers and non-chemical pest control based on ecological principles), and production of research and evidence. This will take place through 1) establishment of on-farm bioinput production unit laboratory and school (composting, liquid biofertilizer plant and biological control laboratory) at the Paulo Kageyama Agroecological Training Centre, Jarinu, SP for use on a 5 ha experimental area and (2) expansion of Cooperativa da Terra's bioinputs unit (inoculants, bio-defensives, biofertilizers) at Pirituba II Farm in Itaberá, SP for use on a 200 ha area of grain production. The inputs will be used by land reform settlement families practicing agroecological farming or in transition. Expected impacts include improved knowledge, dissemination and commercial viability of bioinputs for food production, leading to improved food security and sovereignty, preservation and restoration of natural resources, production and incomes of small farmers. Chosen technological inputs will be proven, small scale, simple and low-tech but scientifically sophisticated, adapted to local ecological and geographical conditions, and suitable for technology transfer. Activities will include installation of equipment, technical courses, exchange programme, production of evidence about bioinputs, accompaniment of food production using bioinputs, learning. CAFOD's support will enable: acquisition of materials for the units, (e.g. wood chipper, manure tank, steel tanks); technical support; training costs. Beneficiary farming families as follows: 30 from training and accompaniment, 60 from access to bioinputs, 270 from dissemination of learning. Indirect beneficiaries from Agroecological production from: 3000 grocery consumers, 2000 people on enFF courses, 3000 food insecure families in SP receiving donations of fresh food.
Capacity building to help partners in Cambodia address gender challenges
General
There is a strong gender-imbalance in Cambodian society which means that girls and women have access to fewer opportunities and wield little decision-making power in their relationships and communities. Gender based violence among young people is rapidly increasing. Current HIV prevention campaigns are not adequately gender-sensitive and often do not consider the underlying patterns of behaviour and inequality within relationships between men and women which contribute to HIV prevalence. However, CAFOD partners are increasingly recognising the need to address these underlying gender inequalities. CAFOD partners are also reporting that issues of gender based violence and unequal relations between men and women are affecting non-HIV activities, such as working with indigenous communities to secure land tenure in resource-rich areas. This project will adopt and build on the Communities of Practice approach that CAFOD has previously used to support three HIV partners to develop best practice in gender based community prevention approaches. It will also support two non-HIV partners to consider and address unequal gender relations within their community-based programme activities. The Communities of Practice will be facilitated by long term CAFOD partner Karol and Setha. K&S run an educational programme aimed at adolescents, young adults and couples/ parents, seeking to address issues relating to sexuality and relationships. Through training for youth, teenagers, partners and NGO staff, K&S aims to enhance positive gender relationships by giving an opportunity for people to better understand themselves, their relationships and relationship dynamics in order to contribute to gender harmony, peace and development in society. The K&S approach promotes critical thinking and the provision of full and accurate information to increase people’s sense of responsibility and help them to make thoughtful choices, adjust their behaviour patterns and resist peer pressure. K&S will adapt this approach to support other CAFOD partners to integrate gender sensitivity into their programmes. The CoP will include two 5-day trainings, two 2-3 day strengthening trainings and four follow up sessions. The strengthening sessions will allow K&S to accompany the partners in utilising what they have learnt during the 5-day trainings in action planning, such as the development of gender mainstreaming strategies within their organisations.
Exploring resilient livelihoods, land advocacy and social enterprise in urban areas of Cambodia
General
This is a capacity strengthening project which aims to strengthen Salvation Centre Cambodia’s (SCC) approach to working on livelihoods, land rights and social enterprise with vulnerable populations in urban Cambodia; primarily people living with HIV and AIDS and the poorest of the poor. SCC’s target communities in the urban areas of Siem Reap and the outskirts of Phnom Penh suffer from insecure land tenure, an inability to improve their housing, limited livelihoods opportunities and low levels of income. Over the course of this project, CAFOD will support SCC to: 1) increase knowledge on conducting advocacy on land security, 2) diversify the income generation options that are presented to their communities, 3) learn about the concept of ‘social enterprise’ and prepare a business plan to transform one of their child care facilities into a profitable business, with proceeds reinvested into their development programmes.

GEF-7; Global Environment Facility (GEF) 7th Replenishment
General
The Global Environment Facility was established in October 1991 as a pilot program in the World Bank to assist in the protection of the global environment. In 1994 at the Rio Earth Summit the GEF was restructured and moved out of the World Bank system to b ecome a permanent separate institution. As part of the restructuring the GEF was entrusted to become the financial mechanism for both the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and the UN Framework Conventionon Climate Change. The GEF subsequently was also selected to serve as financial mechanism for three more international conventions: The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (2001) the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (2003) and the Minamata Convention on Mercury (2013) .The GEF strives to achieve global environmental benefits by supporting developing countries in their efforts. After various changes agreed upon during last two replenishment negotiations the work is focused around five thematic focal areas: biodiversity; climate change mitigation; chemicals and waste; international waters; and land degradation. Furthermore an integrated approach pilot was established during the sixth replenishment negotiations to support activities in recipient countries that can help them meet commitments to more than one global convention or thematic area by tackling underlying drivers of environmental degradation. This synergetic approach will continue in GEF-7 through Impact Programs focused on food systems forests and cities.The GEF is a network organization. It is composed of independent secretariat and evaluation office the World Bank acts as a trustee channelling project support to implementing entities such as to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Finland has supported t he GEF from the very beginning. The support to the seventh replenishment of the GEF (1.7.2018-30.6.2022) is about 31 million euros. This budget decision covers 26 million from the total contribution.
