F.a: Womens Land Rights and Rescuing of Traditional Agricultural Production Systems
General
Mozambiques land rights legislation and policies recognize women's equal rights, but even so women received only 20 % of land-use permits issued in 2015. Equality is hindered by patriarchal culture, traditional norms that nurture power imbalance, womens po or awareness of their rights, as well as land and natural resource use pressure threatening peasant agriculture, such as large investments to produce commodities. Also in the Ribaue and Malema regions, peasants are under pressure to abandon the biodiverse agriculture aimed at local consumption and to switch to export crops such as soybean and cotton produced by industrial inputs (seeds, pesticides, fertilizers).
PROG2017-2021-DGD: Sustainable and climate-smart land use for ecosystem conservation by farmers
General
The overall aim is to improve the livelihoods of rural communities in Western Uganda, by promoting and facilitating community-based forest management (UG1) and sustainable and climate-smart land use practices (agro-forestry) (UG2). We focus on two districts: Karabole and Hoima, in western Uganda. In both specific objectives the interventions focus on three aspects: (1) capacity building courses of community promotors and staff of farmers associations in community forestry and sustainable agriculture (including women and youth particularly) ; (2) field actions in terms of participatory forest management and agro-forestry (with special attention for water and soil conservation); (3) promotion of good practices by authorities and institutions. After five years, the farmers associations with which we work will be able to gain a triple win out of their natural capital: socio-economic advantages, climate and biodiversity. This way they can break the vicious circle of land degradation and poverty that threatens rural communities in Uganda and reduce their vulnerability for climate change
Promoters of the rights of indigenous peoples
General
Project further educates the 40 young indigenous peoples representatives that the organization have capacitated earlier about the cultural and legal rights of the indigenous peoples in order them to better defend those rights and take possible injustices t o the legal instance. The education concentrates especially on questions of land law rights and right of access to health care. Educating the indigenous peoples own representatives to defend their rights serves the aim of spreading the knowledge and multip lication of effects among the communities. Furthermore empowerment enables better monitoring detection and following-up of violations of the rights. Also representatives of three different indigenous peoples organizations are capacitated on these issues. A s well a situation report about the state of the indigenous peoples rights and legal problems encountered by the communities will be published to increase awareness in the whole society and to enhance the implementation of the legal rights.
