Displaying 671 - 675 of 2117Mauritania - Economic Reforms and Diversification Support Programme - Phase II (PAREDE II)
General
The proposed operation is the second phase of a programme-based budget support operation to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. The objective of the first phase (PAREDE I), for the 2016-2017 period, for an amount of UA 6.7 million was to create conditions conducive to the diversification of the economy in order to promote inclusive and sustainable growth. The outcomes of the first phase were deemed very satisfactory. PAREDE II, which is a continuation of PAREDE I, has two complementary components as follows: (i) Support for the Improvement of Public Expenditure Effectiveness; and (ii) Support for the Promotion of the Non-extractive Industries Production System. The reforms identified under PAREDE II will contribute to attaining this objective by diversifying the Mauritanian economy and reducing its dependence on natural resources. To attain this objective, this programme lays emphasis on reforms aimed at supporting the economic diversification process which will have a very significant impact on gender. The programme has already adopted an important measure to increase the number of land titles issued to women from 52 in 2016 to 80 in 2018. This measure is a continuation of that of PAREDE I, which helped to increase the number of agricultural land titles issued to women from 20 in 2015 to 52 in 2016.
Objectives
The programme’s main objective is to create enabling conditions for diversifying the Mauritanian economy to promote inclusive and sustainable growth. The specific objectives are to: (i) improve public expenditure effectiveness; and (ii) promote the non-extractive industries production system.
Target Groups
The programme’s direct beneficiaries are the State of Mauritania, through the MEF, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Livestock. The indirect beneficiaries are Mauritanian citizens, who will be impacted by the stabilization of the country’s macroeconomic situation, and increased economic growth, excluding extractive industries, through the creation of sustainable jobs in growth sectors and income generation. Private entrepreneurs, professional organizations, farmers and stock breeders, especially women and young people, are also PAREDE II indirect beneficiaries, in the sense that the reform of the production system, especially in terms of PPPs and land law, will facilitate their integration into the economy, and thus contribute to creating wealth for the country.
Scaling Up Sustainable Soy (SUSS) Partnership
General
The project will achieve its objective through the realization of three outcomes related to desirable behavioral change by relevant soy supply chain actors under three headlines, namely: a) production, b) protection/conservation, and c) social inclusion/improved livelihoods. The project’s ToC suggests that: if producers in the Cerrado landscape are adequately incentivized and adopt responsible soy production; and if financial institutions, policy makers and downstream actors support conservation of the Cerrado; and if IPLCs in the Cerrado included through active engagement in improved livelihood opportunities and advocacy for rights (including land tenure); then responsible, deforestation and conversion-free soy production will be mainstreamed across the Cerrado, resulting in reduced deforestation and conversion of native vegetation and fewer human rights violations associated with - but not limited to - the Danish soy supply chain.
Objectives
To reduce deforestation associated with the Danish soy supply chain (i.e. ensuring that soy imported to and consumed in Denmark is produced sustainably without causing deforestation that damages climate, biodiversity and ecosystems, and inclusion and rights).
CCDMP 2022-2025: SNV - Programme Agroalimentaire pour la Résilience Intégrée et le Développement Économique au
Objectives
The overall objective is to "contribute to increased resilience, food security and income of agricultural and agro-pastoral households in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger through effective decentralized institutions and organizations for service delivery, improved natural resource and land management and local economic development." The programme is implemented through five (5) pathways, interdependent and complementary, which will achieve systemic and sustainable change.
Knowledge, Policy and Implementation Support Manager (KPISM) for Building Resilience and adapting to climate c
General
The BRACC programme is investing in four key interlinked components: 1. Climate resilient livelihoods: up to £52 million to reduce the impact of climate shocks on poor and vulnerable households through asset transfers; improved agricultural production; natural resource management; and access to more diverse income streams. This is being delivered through a joint Non-Government Organisation (NGO) and United Nations (UN) led consortium called Promoting Sustainable Partnerships for Empowered Resilience (PROSPER). 2. Provision of a scalable safety net ‘crises modifier’: up to £20million to respond to predictable seasonal food insecurity needs and climate shocks through an increase in safety net value per person and/or numbers of people covered in the face of shocks. This is also being delivered through PROSPER 3. Strengthening social protection systems: up to £5million to strengthen national safety nets programmes so that in the longer term, they meet the basic needs of the poorest and respond to climate shocks when necessary. This is delivered through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Germany (BMZ/GIZ) and is co-financed by Germany and the European Union (EU). 4. Evidence, knowledge and policy influence: up to £8million to generate evidence and learning to drive programme decisions and inform government policy (£1.4million of this that has already been committed). This will be complemented by targeted technical assistance to government on social protection, disaster risk management and climate change adaptation. An accountable grant was put in place with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) on an interim basis, until the ‘Knowledge, Policy and Implementation Support Manager (KPISM)’, who will deliver the services set out in these Terms of Reference, is in place. A handover is anticipated during the Inception Phase. In addition, £1 million has been allocated to support Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) related activities in communities surrounding protected areas. This is being delivered through an Accountable Grant with African Parks. A further £4million has been allocated to co-finance USAID’s Modern Cooking for Healthy Forests programme which aims to strengthen Malawi’s resilience to climate change by countering deforestation and forest degradation, reducing soil erosion, improving land management and supporting sustainable livelihoods. Overall the programme aims to target around 300,000 households with a set of integrated interventions designed to increase household and community resilience to weather and climate related shocks. Key activities include: • Climate Smart Agriculture • Nutrition sensitive interventions • Integrated watershed management • Natural resource management • Disaster risk reduction and Climate services • Market systems development and inclusive business models • Micro-finance and micro-insurance • Shock-responsive social protection • Lean season response • District and national systems strengthening and coordination
Building human well-being and resilience in Amazonian forests by enhancing the value of biodiversity for food
Objectives
To advance the conservation of healthy and functional forests and wetlands resilient to climate change, maintaining carbon stocks, preventing GHG emissions, and generating sustainable and resilient local livelihoods[1]. [1] The Project will deploy field interventions in and around protected areas (PA) and indigenous territories (IT); supported by regional, national and international actions. All interventions will adopt adaptive, gender, and intercultural approaches, and respond to Peru’s NDC for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Target Groups
212. Section 1.7 details the benefits in terms of environmental, economic and social sustainability. The benefits can also be organized in a geographic scale, with positive socio-economic impacts at local, regional and national levels, and in other Amazon areas.213. On a local level, bio-businesses and public private partnerships will be consolidated, green jobs will be created, and income will be increased and diversified. Enhancing productive and management capacities to coordinate development and value chains of eco/bio-businesses, as well as to manage land and resources more sustainably (including protected areas delivering ecosystem services), will contribute to improve sustainability of livelihoods of men and women, mainly indigenous, who depend on the forest and aquatic ecosystems within the scope of the Project. By increasing the range of options for sustainability in terms of the variety of resources used and the recovery of degraded ecosystems, and by contributing to enhancing income per managed surface area, the Project will contribute to food safety and will strengthen capacities for climate change adaptation.214. At a national level, and in other areas in the Amazon, the Project will boost learnings and improve the instruments and capacities of decision-makers and other actors to manage land and biodiversity in order to replicate sustainable biodiversity management models and financial mechanisms for conservation of ecosystem services in other Amazon landscapes; in turn, yielding benefits for local populations.215. These national- and local-level benefits are associated with the protection and better management of protected areas and high conservation value areas, land restoration, reduction of GHG emissions, and integrated water resource management, which will translate into the reduction of the effects of climate change on vulnerable populations, the reduction of deforestation and land degradation, the reduction of species extinction and of the flow of ecosystem services, as well as the reduction of hazards to freshwater resources.216. In the Amazon basin, the Project will strengthen the cooperation for the assessment and conservation of biodiversity and effective governance in the use of natural resources. It will also contribute to achieving the goals of national and international agreements destined to guarantee healthy and functional ecosystems. The Project will protect and restore one of the most important sources of biodiversity and climate change mitigation in the planet, bringing about economic, social and environmental benefits at all levels.
