Conservation Works Activity
General
(Liberia): Liberia is home to 4.3 million hectares of tropical forest, including 44 percent of the remaining Upper Guinean Rainforest. Rich in biodiversity, the Liberian rainforests are home to multiple threatened species including the Western Chimpanzee, the Forest Elephant, and Pygmy Hippos. The preservation of Liberian's protected areas is jeopardized by shifting agriculture, bushmeat hunting, logging, agricultural concessions, and mining. USAID is currently designing a new activity to support biodiversity conservation in Liberia. The purpose of this activity is to conserve threatened and endangered species by expanding protected areas and improving economic conditions for Liberians that live near protected areas. The core goals of this activity will be the protection of contiguous tracts of forest land that are home to threatened and endangered species and the improvement of livelihoods for rural communities. This new activity will support two key objectives: 1) creating new protected areas and improving management of existing protected areas, and 2) strengthening sustainable conservation enterprises that generate local income and create jobs. Using FY 2021 funds, USAID will support legal recognition of new protected areas, improve management and governance capacity at the national and community level, develop community livelihoods, and support the expansion of ecotourism. The community-centered interventions will help shift dependence away from forest resources and toward more sustainable and resilient livelihood opportunities. Ecotourism efforts will be focused at the national level and on site-specific interventions at potential ecotourism sites. $3 million of funding within this activity will meet the Great Apes non-SPSD and biodiversity earmark.
Legal Empowerment for Equitable Land Governance
General
The insecurity of community rights to land and natural resources is perhaps the greatest rule of law challenge of our times. Around the world, farmers, fisher people, and pastoralists are denied the power to manage what are often their greatest assets: their farmland, forests, pastures, rivers, lakes, and coasts. Meanwhile, there is an ever-increasing investment interest in exactly those resources. When the rights of those who live and depend on the land are insecure, what results is conflict and inequitable, shortsighted decisions about our most precious resources. There are three key opportunities for supporting land-based communities in the arc of interaction between those communities and industrial development: 1) securing tenure and strengthening local land governance, 2) negotiating equitable terms under which investment can take place, and 3) ensuring compliance with legal and contractual requirements once investment has begun. With funding from DFID, we support more sustainable, more equitable development in all three of these moments by investing in the legal empowerment of land-based communities.
CILAP Land Administration, Swedish mapping, cadastral and land registration
General
The Sweden financed CILAP, Capacity Building in Land Administration, project has as its main activities to strengthen the land administration organizations, development of legislation, develop the geodetic infrastructure, building an address register, sales price register (as the first systematic steps towards land and property valuation) and support to ICT, and support to digital archive. After 6 years of implementation the project is ending is December 2019. CILAP was independently evaluated in 2018 by NIRAS. The evaluation concludes that overall the CILAP project has succeeded in building capacity and transfer knowledge with the overall objective to increase the effectiveness and reliability of land administration processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in line with Swedish strategies and policies, needs and priorities of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The evaluation recommended a phase out plan to be elaborated by the project team. In June 2019, the project partners submitted a phase out plan which will last from January 2020-December 2022. The budget amount to a maximum of 12 000 000 SEK. In addition, the partners will contribute at least 10 000 000 of in-kind costs during this period. The Embassy concluded that the plan is relevant and feasible and should be approved.
Objectives
The CILAP, supported by the Sida, has been established as a long-term project with an overall goal to contribute to increasing of the effectiveness and reliability of land administration sector in BiH. The project progress and implementation results were reviewed during implementation period by the external evaluation. A final review of project results was done in November 2018 and the project is considered as successful. The Project is at the final implementation stage and the Federal Administration forGeodetic and Real Property Affairs (FGA) and Republic Authority for Geodetic and RealProperty Affairs (RGA) with the support of the project team developed the documentProposal for the CILAP Phasing out 2020 2021, optionally 2022 dated April 2019. The phasing out of CILAP project activities will be conducted in the period 2020 2021, in order to ensure sustainability of achieved results by creating a firm foundation for smooth takeover of products by both Geodetic Authorities (GA) in BH. The project objectives during the phasing out phase remains the same, but the main intention will be to make project accomplishments strongly anchored and viable within the FGA and RGA. The project contributes to the expected long- term impact:- By efficient land administration contribute to economic and social development, sustainable market and usage of real estates, and BH accession to EU.The capacity development focus of the project is expected to lead to sustainable changes in practices among the project partners RGA and FGA. The project main goal remains:- Make the Land Administration system more efficient, secure and reliable.Mutual conclusion is that the project has succeeded to fulfil the main goal, and an effort during the phasing out will be focused on the assurance of results sustainability. The detail analysis of achievements and risks within the all project components has enabled the project partners to define needs and priorities. It showed that the GA have managed to build sufficient capacity to successfully implement future activities regarding the establishment of digital archive, its integration in the business processes and usage in daily operations but need further support within the other project areas. The part of activities, previously supported within the independent ICT component, will be incorporated in the suggested component devoted to the organizational strengthening and institutional capacity building. Thus, the phasing out will continue with the similar structure as the ongoing project with the focus on the activities that will create needed outputs for assurance of project results sustainability. CILAP phasing out 2020 2021 will contain four (4) components: 1. Support to the continuous organizational strengthening, institutionalization and intensified collaboration with stakeholders to make the programme sustainable beyond 2021 2. Support to the continuous establishment, interoperability and sustainability of Address Register, 3. Support to the Sales Price Register maintenance and strengthening of institutional cooperation with Tax authorities,4. Support to the improvement of geodetic infrastructure in line with EU norms and standards. Note: District Brcko is included in all activities under the component 4 and supported by the project funds. The phasing out document has been reinforced with a primarily focus on results sustainability where the linkages between the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and indicators for each component have been further clarified and revised in order to better capture a sustainability dimension of CILAP work, including work related to gender equality, integrity and environment. The expected outcomes:• GA are founded on results-based management, clear procedures to implement, follow up and maintain achieved results to enable the sustainability of developed capacity, products, services with improved cooperation and shared responsibility with land administration stakeholders • GA in BH are recognized and supported by respective governments as leaders in reform of land administration sector and important part of e-governance. GA contribute to the human rights, democracy and poverty reduction through mainstreaming of gender, integrity and environmental protection issues• Procedures for the establishment and maintenance of AR are clearly defined, documented and available to municipalities. Increased coverage of correct and updated AR. AR data is interoperable, publicly available and used in business processes of stakeholders• Sales Price Register data is used for implementation of pilot projects in order to develop a basis for policy making, strategic and methodology planning related to mass valuation and property tax reform in cooperation with direct stakeholders (GA, Tax Authorities and Ministries of Finance)• More accurate, reliable and fast survey (including heights) in real time for cadastral, engineering and environmental purposes based on interoperability with EU and international reference systems.
