General
(Colombia): .USAID/Colombia's Conservation and Governance activity conserves the Andean Amazon ecosystem and fosters sustainable rural development by providing technical assistance to farmers to develop land management best practices, and improve productivity of combined woodland/grazing and agroforestry systems. In order to protect forest remnants, the activity supports farmers to establish nature reserves on their own land, which are key elements in conservation corridors to enhance biological connectivity. The activity also supports farmers in strengthening the cheese value chain, from production to marketing, and in securing long-term commercial agreements, as well as eco-tourism by supporting a "cheese trail" which stops at various farms and reserves allowing tourists to learn about both the cheese-making process and conservation of the Amazon ecosystem. This tourism component helps to achieve our conservation goals in Colombia through conservation agreements signed with local farmers that protect existing forests and watersheds as private natural reserves, rehabilitate degraded land and establish agroforestry systems. The program is promoting ecotourism linked to these conservation efforts and culture of the cattle ranching, branded as 'The Cheese Route'. This activity is implemented through a local organization, and directly contributes to the USG Mission Objective to improve conditions for inclusive rural economic growth and sustainable development. FY 2018 funding will provide $330,541 for the FY 2018 SFOAA-legislated Andean Amazon Biodiversity directive... .. .

By developing a platform from where SLM may be scaled, the benefits realized at a local level may be facilitated and supported at a regional level. Socio-economic benefits accrued at this local level will be largely through the upgraded value chain, increased revenue and productivity of local land users and related enterprises through improved SLM of communal land. This will furthermore lead to improved employment opportunities, with increased revenues for individuals, as well as the trickle-down effect to local vendors and service providers.The drivers of these benefits, as outlined in projet activities, include the following:1. Training and capacity building for improved SLM on local land, enterprise development (Mentor farmers and Para-vets); financial and market navigation.2. Improved institutional coordination (community, government and private) towards SLM;3. Improved land use sustainability and productivity through land restoration activities and improved SLM;4. Strengthened land tenure arrangements;5. Improved, incentive driven, access to finance and markets; 6. Access to small-grants mechanism for enterprise scale up; and7. Partnerships developed between commercial and informal stakeholders;The activities at a local level will contribute to the restoration of 130000 ha of landscapes through improved SLM at target sites.These local drivers of socio-economic benefits will be accrued at regional and national levels through mainstreaming of SLM. This mainstreaming is enabled through establishing the following: 8. A Knowledge Management Platform to inform evidence based SLM at multiple scales;9. A Sustainable Land Management Plan (SLMP) that informs regional SLM;10. Participatory Rangeland Management Plans (PRMP) that inform local SLM;11. The Rangeland/Biodiversity Stewardship Agreement that formalizes SLM intent;12. Training and capacity building for provincial landscape management institutions;13. Establishment of an SLM innovative finance mechanism; and14. Improved access to SLM finance through national development banks.The activities in their entirety will contribute to improved governance of 800000 ha through improved capacity to implement improved SLM at a regional scale.Implemented SLM will lead to improved land productivity from increased soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil moisture resulting in increased agricultural production and sustainable conditions for stocking rates of livestock which will support sustainable improved/maintained output potential of land. Socio-economic benefits accrued at the regional scale will therefore be linked directly to improved SLM of communal rangelands and the upgraded value chains. Improved SLM will also indirectly link through improved environmental benefits of reduced land degradation through restoration activities. Improved SOC will contribute to climate change adaptation and an increase in soil moisture will increase drought resilience. Further co-benefits of the project will include the conservation of biodiversity, improved hydrological cycles and mitigation of climate change. Environmental benefits will be accrued through improved flow of ecosystem services which impact socio-economic wellbeing of beneficiaries from local through regional and international scales.

Social Capital in Forest Management - Local Partner Initiative Biodiversity
General
(Peru): We will invest $1,000,000 of FY 2014 Biodiversity funds in the Social Capital in Forest Management activity to be implemented by a local NGO in the Ucayali Region of Peru. We will promote sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, and mitigation of deforestation and land degradation. Project results will help slow greenhouse gas emissions from current land uses. We will also promote participatory democratic processes of consultation and coordination between public institutions and social groups considered "excluded". Taking into account intercultural differences between Andean migrant populations and indigenous communities we will work to strengthen the capacity of communities within the activity's implementation area. Increases in human capabilities and technical skills in community forest management will have a positive impact on the environment and the quality of life of participants.

Planning for Climate Adaptation Program
General
(Dominican Republic): USAID will use $905,000 in GCC adaptation funds to build municipal planning capacity for land use planning and climate change adaptation in Santo Domingo, Santiago, and selected coastal tourist centers. USAID/DR assistance will strengthen the Dominican Republic's ability to respond to the impacts of climate change and increase resilience of the Dominican Republic's most vulnerable populations. The negative impacts of climate change will compound existing vulnerabilities, such as poor public resource planning and management, the location of low-income populations on marginal and/or flood-prone lands, and a lack of analytically informed systems for decision-making. Therefore, USAID will improve the availability of and access to climate change information, and integration of climate change into municipal-level urban planning and private sector development, with the ultimate goal of increased adoption of risk reduction measures that specifically address climate risks. The Urban Land Use and Climate Change Adaptation Planning activity will contribute to the achievement of USAID/DR's Development Objective Two (DO2) Increased Resilience of People to the Impact of Climate Change during the strategy period 2014-2018 through IR 2.1 : Land Use Planning Reduces Damage from Climate Change.

Land and Rural Development Activity
General
(Colombia): ...The Land and Rural Development Program (LRDP) supports Government of Colombia (GOC) efforts to provide equitable and secure land tenure for individuals, communities, and businesses, while also enhancing the effectiveness of public investment in the rural agriculture sector, targeting conflict-affected areas of the country. LRDP addresses the root causes and consequences of Colombia's conflict, including land displacement, lack of formal land titles, chronic rural poverty, and limited licit economic opportunities in rural areas. More specifically, LRDP activities provide technical assistance at the national level to speed up GOC land tenure and property rights registration processes; assist the GOC in testing new, more efficient and transparent mechanisms for public expenditure in the rural sector; and pilot new information systems that will allow the GOC to better manage land tenure information across multiple GOC entities..
Objectives
Objectives for Colombia: Project Objectives: 1) Mobilize public and private sector funds for rural development; 2) Formalize land rights and provision of tenure security; 3) Support restitution for land to victims of conflict; 4) Improve the quality and accessibility of information to expedite land policies.
