General
Norson Holdings, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Norson or the Company), an existing IFC client, is one of the largest integrated pork producers and processors in Mexico. Norson is a good portfolio client with a key global strategic partner (Smithfield) which plays an active role in the Companys operations. The project will expand and upgrade operations of Norson. The project includes (i) expanding Norson's production capacity, (ii) developing the required new farms for capacity expansion and adapting some of the existing facilities, (iii) increasing slaughtering capacity at the processing plant, (iv) increasing its feed mill capacity; and (v) installing plastic liners at the waste lagoons.
Objectives
(i) Reorganizing and increasing the Company's production system and debottlenecking pig production to improve biosecurity, animal welfare, management of sanitary conditions, and labor efficiency. (ii) Increasing land productivity. The lands for developing the new farms are currently sub utilized or not developed. The new facilities will be a sustainable and financially sound way to procure a correct use of natural resources. (iii) Employment generation primarily in rural areas and for women (currently 44% of its total workforce). (iv) Increasing the availability of pork meat and value added products in the local and international markets.
Rehabilitation and provision of productive assets and inputs for farmers in Area C, suffering from the occupat
Objectives
The project is an HRP 2020 endorsed project that will contribute to the HRP strategic objectives 2 and 3, the HF allocation strategy objective 1 for the West Bank under the normal track and the Food Security cluster objective in the WB. It will do so by Rehabilitation and provision of productive assets and inputs for farmers owns lands in Area C located in 3 villages in Tulkarem governorates who face specific challenges to cultivate their lands due to different measures imposed by the occupation regime including settler violence, demolition, confiscation, the wall, etc. The project is based on a needs assessment conducted by PUI and UAWC in September 2020 that identified the most pressing needs of vulnerable farmers working in area C close to the wall or settlements. In addition, PUI coordinated with FSS, MoA Central and MoA directorates of Qalqilya and Tulkarem, in order to identify and prioritize FSS needs and localities in these 2 governorates. In order to respond to the identified needs and to contribute to the HRP, HF and cluster objectives of this second allocation, PUI and UAWC will provide 2 types of assistance: - Provide1.5 kilometer of water carrier lines to ensure the delivery of water from the resources to the agricultural lands. The support will include the delivery of water carrier lines while the Village Council will contribute to provide additional inputs for the success of this activity. This activity will reach to 80 farmers in total. - Support 120 vulnerable farmers working in lands adjacent to the settlements or the wall and whose livelihoods are threatened by occupation measures. Agricultural roads will be rehabilitated (4 km), which will increase a safe access to lands and contribute to preventing land confiscations. Additional 10 farmers will receive land rehabilitation support to increase their production capacity. The project will also provide cisterns to other 3 farmers to enhance the supplementary irrigation to trees and crops in their lands In total, 213 farmers households (1022 individuals) will benefit directly from the Action. Selection criteria for those farmers will depend mainly on the socio-economic vulnerability criteria. It will look also on technical criteria including topography of the land, slope percentage, soil depth, land ownership, and planted trees (in addition to protection considerations, including IHL violations, close to settlement, the wall, and access restricted areas). The project will be implemented in partnership with UAWC and each organization will bring their expertise to the partnership: UAWC supporting agriculture from a development perspective focusing on water activities and PUI rehabilitating lands and assets, easing access and providing support to farmers with a protection lens through emergency and protective responses to settler-related incidents. Furthermore, the project will complement the Action of the West Bank Protection Consortium by covering a need gap in the provision of assistance and livelihood support to vulnerable farmers in Area C. Besides, PUI will mobilize its Consortium experience (tools, methodology, network) to be operational at different stages of the project.
Protection of newly drought displaced IDPs through provision of emergency shelter and NFI kits and setup of ge
Objectives
The objective of this project is to protect newly drought displaced IDPs through provision of reduced and combined emergency shelter and NFI kits. The project will set-up camp management committees and train their members in humanitarian principles and approaches for self-management by IDPs of the new camps in K7-K20 along Afgooye Road in Banadir region. The project tries to respond to urgent humanitarian needs with insufficient financial means provided by the SHF. This project will provide restricted and flexible vouchers that shall be redeemed with emergency shelter and NFI kits to the newly drought displaced IDPs. The vouchers are at a reduced value as compared with the shelter cluster standards due to funding constraints. A list of shelter and NFI items from which the beneficiaries can choose from using the flexible voucher shall be provided. The beneficiaries are flexible to choose from these items based on their priority needs up to the ceiling amount of the voucher. By experience, women prefer different items than men that suit better their special needs, e.g. for privacy. The project shall also establish 15 gender balanced camp management committees in new settlements within the larger IDP camps and train their members in camp management skills and approaches in humanitarian aid. Especially women that head households will be encouraged to represent their interests in the committees. Committee members will take an initial five-day training course and will then receive "on-the-job" assistance and support from the community mobilization workers. Each of the committees will then receive a tool kit for improving drainage channels and cleaning the camps. The role of these committees shall include the following among others: enhance formalization of the spontaneous settlement, provide recognized leadership to the new IDP communities and to represent the IDP communities towards local authorities and formal humanitarian actors, assist in selection of beneficiaries, reporting new evictions, settlement planning, maintaining camp cleanliness, negotiating with local authorities, land lords and IDPs to demarcate public spaces, roads and firebreaks, conflict prevention and mediation. This structure can transit into formal administration through local authorities when they come into effect. They shall integrate all informal leader of the communities including elements that have usually conflicting interests with the potential of violence against individuals or groups. Social control within the committees shall contribute to the containment of oppressive elements. Lack of land tenure and durable solutions for displaced populations has created a situation in which governments or land lords forcibly evict IDP communities, especially in down-town Mogadishu and also in K7 - K8 along the Afgooye corridor. Such processes usually involve significantly human rights violations. The committees shall negotiate with the local authorities and land lords on behalf of the communities to have improved land tenure security. The proposed SHF project will compliment two other projects currently running in the K7-K20 IDP camps and implemented by DKH through its local partner DBG. DKH is targeting 1,140 newly displaced IDP households in K7-K20 camps with shelter, NFI and 3 months’ partly rations of food through flexible vouchers. That project is funded by the German Bureau of Foreign Affairs (AA). Secondly, DKH through means from the German Federal Ministry for Economy and Cooperation (BMZ) has established and trained 10 camp management committees to help increase the effectiveness of humanitarian aid and improve settlement planning within the camps with tangible success.

The service provided is to ensure the coordination of the Land Rights Now campaign from December 2022 to February 2023.The key focus of coordination is to provide support to national campaigns, communicationslearning, and facilitating coordination of other participating organizations’ efforts and outreach to new allies, especially youth- and women-led movements on climate justice. The campaign is co-convened by Oxfam and the International Land Coalition and has an Advisory Board who review plans and provide guidance. The coordination is hosted by Oxfam.
Enhancing Youth Resilience
General
The proposed initiative was designed by 15 youth activists and farmers (7 males and 8 females) aged 18 to 30, living in the Jordan Valley and Masafer Yatta , communities in the West Bank characterized by conservative and patriarchal values. These young activistsare currently enrolled in a training program on advocacy and land rights (e.g. land registration mechanisms, legal protection, HR violations documentation, advocacy and digital campaigning), a component under a 3-year EU funded project ending inFebruary 2022 andimplemented by one of Oxfam’s partners, the Palestinian Farmers Union . The proposed initiative will build on the project’s key achievements by increasing PFU’s capacity to strengthen the knowledge and skills of youth activists and farmers to engage in collectiveinfluencing actions and their active participation and engagement in promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment in their communities. The initiative will mainstream cross-cutting issues, such as inclusion, good governance, and sustainability.
