PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_Tanzania
General
This programme aims to improve the livelihoods of family farmers, small-scale entrepreneurs and pastoralists in eight districts in Tanzania and northern Zanzibar. This will be done through the strengthening of their member based organisations they seek support from to improve their business environment, productivity and voice in society. Trias also believes that a higher participation of these groups in the economy will lead to a more stable and more prosperous and inclusive society. Therefore, the Tanzania programme will improve the capacities and performance of 5 Member based organisations, 7 SACCOS, 1 milk cooperative and 35 VICOBAs through advice and support on technical and financial matters as well as organisational development. Together these organisations - of which 42% are women and 21% are youth - reach more than 38,320 people (35100 farmers and 3,220 entrepreneurs) with their services. These organisations have proven to be legitimate actors for change in society, and have shown concrete willingness to work on an inclusive society and a sustainable environment. The Tanzania programme will especially focus on improving their capacities related to inclusivity, leadership, integrated service delivery (including access to finance and business development activities), advocacy, networking and cooperation. The MBOs have selected 6 value chains to work on: fresh vegetables, onions, garlic, poultry, milk and honey (all having important economic potential and a pro-poor and pro-women character). Furthermore, the programme has a special focus on the environment especially related to land use planning, protection of wildlife corridors, human wildlife conflict prevention and erosion prevention and will invest in smart use of ICT.
Objectives
6 MBOs of FF and SSEs based in dynamic urban areas and in the surrounding rural areas have been strengthened and are contributing to a better business environment and a more inclusive and sustainable economy in Northern Tanzania.
Target Groups
Our intermediary target group are the ‘direct key actors’ within our programme; being: the staff and leaders of our 7 local partners, as well as all members having received training and/or credit. This is estimated at around 12,000– of which 44 % Women, and 22% Youth (baseline 2016) Our final beneficiaries are the members of the MBOs within our programme: organized family farmers (FF) and small-scale entrepreneurs (SSE). In 2016, this membership consisted of 38,320 people - of which 42% women and 21% youth.
Morocco Green Cities and Territories
General
The Kingdom of Morocco is acutely vulnerable to climate change and is prone to environmental constraints (water scarcity, land degradation, energy dependence, pollution, natural resource depletion). These increasing pressures are a catalyst for rural migration, as the rural economy largely depends on subsistence farming, further straining urban areas and their limited capacities and resources. The Government of Morocco has been cultivating an inclusive green economy for a number of years in collaboration with international development partners. Additionally, in the NSDS, urban development issues are emphasized, with a focus on conceptualizing territories as sustainable ecosystems, and improving design, coordination and implementation of urban interventions and rural-urban linkages. Such examples provide a strong foundation for GGGI’s Morocco country program, which encompasses green territorial development, the circular and social solidarity economy, and implementing the NSDS on a sub-national level.
Objectives
Support Morocco to adopt the methodologies, action plans and tools to implement green city and territorial development projects, develop two green city and territory project proposals to leverage financing. Provide technical support to Morocco to implement its NSDS and its NDC n°9 commitment to develop a model framework for low-carbon green territories including optimized energy, transport and waste management, in alignment with its ongoing advanced regionalization transition.

SWE-2012-115: Adapting to changing climate in drylands: The re-greening in Sahel as a potential success case
General
Over the past 20 years a substantial greening trend has occurred in parts of the West African Sahel. Understanding the extent to which this is happening, the implications for livelihoods in the region and the human dimensions behind this greening is interesting for climate change adaptation. This occurs in a region where climate change is expected and where there is a prevailing perception that human induced land degradation is common. We compare several different regions in Niger and Burkina Faso that has been *greening up* to different levels, but which have similar biophysical and social preconditions. In each region we study the re-greening, map out the history of social and biophysical driving forces behind it, link the greening to ecosystem services for livelihoods, and build scenarios based on the farmers perception of the future.
