Displaying 1231 - 1235 of 2117UNCCD Backstopping Mandate
General
Desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) are major drivers of global change, especially in drylands, where some of the most vulnerable ecosystems and peoples can be found. The Committee on Science and Technology (CST) of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is a subsidiary body to provide advice on scientific and technological matters relating to DLDD. SDC has the lead function for UNCCD matters within the Federal Administration. SDC is supported by scientific expertise and as a consequence enabled to provide scientific evidence to the CST.
Sustainable Livelihood and Disaster Mitigation (SLDM)
General
The intervention works on the nexus of DRR, food security and agroforestry and successor programme of the Sloping Land Management programme (SLM). Building on SLM, food security remains central, but DRR is the principle concern of the domain of intervention. Combining food security and DRR increases the scope to work holistically towards sustaining the resources on which livelihoods depend. The emphasis on sustainable food production addresses the humanitarian needs of communities. Coupling this with a focus on community action serves to enlarge the scope for groups and individuals to act more autonomously.

F.a: Ensuring rights to access and management of land for rural women in Karongi District
General
The government of Rwanda is not fully committed to implement and monitor legislative reforms improving women’s status. Additionally, attitudes and practices at local level are commonly in conflict with progressive legislation. The thought of private prop erty is often rejected and people are not well aware of the legislation or the official judicial system. It is common for women to perceive rights as privileges granted by men. The main goal of this project is to improve the realization of women’s land r ights and equal land tenure especially at Karong in Western Rwanda. The aim is to enhance the community’s knowledge on legislation and human rights, to strengthen women’s capacity to claim for their rights as well as to promote the implementation of pr ogressive legislation. Maison de Droit is an independent civil organization registered in 2006. 58 of the organisation’s 101 members are lawyers. The organization seeks to increase human rights knowledge and strengthen the communities’ participation in decision making. In addition, the organization aims to enhance realization and respect of human rights. www.maisondedroit.org
