Achieving Land Degradation Neutrality Targets of Georgia through Restoration and Sustainable Management of Deg
Objectives
Support the national efforts to implement LDN targets of Georgia through restoration and sustainable management of the degraded pasturelands (National Targets 1 and 4)

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.
Target Groups
Describe the socioeconomic benefits to be delivered by the project at the national and local levels, as appropriate. How do these benefits translate in supporting the achievement of global environment benefits (GEF Trust Fund) or adaptation benefits (LDCF/SCCF)? Please also explain explain how the project promotes full and productive employment and decent work in rural areas, aiming at the progressive realization of their right to Decent Rural Employment [1]. Grazing lands in Georgia provide forage for beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, horses and other types of domestic livestock, but also carry other important ecosystem functions. Conservation values of these lands are extensive and provide many essential ecosystem services, such as clean water, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. Scenic, cultural, and historic values of these lands provide not only economic benefits, but also quality of life values cherished by many people. The proposed project will provide global environmental and socio-economic benefits in the form of the following benefits: Environmental/Biophysical · Effective Land Degradation Neutrality system in place · Healthy, productive pasturelands (747 ha restored and 20,000 ha under SLM) · Increased CO2 sequestration in pasturelands Socio-economic · Improved livestock value chains · Improved food & nutritional security · Improved livelihoods · Reduced risk (natural disasters, market volatility, access to information and finance) · Improved access to finance for small scale livestock owners · Gender equality [1] Specific guidance on how FAO can promote the Four Pillars of Decent Work in rural areas is provided in the Quick reference for addressing decent rural employment (as well as in the full corresponding Guidance document). For more information on FAO’s work on decent rural employment and related guidance materials please consult the FAO thematic website at: http://www.fao.org/rural-employment/en/.
Provision of MPCA to improve access to basic needs and resilience of children and their caregivers, in conflic
Objectives
ltpgtSave the Children (SC) draws from its extensive experience in MPCA, its sector engagement in the CWG, in Gaza, West Bank and at the national level. We aim at improving the well-being and resilience of children and their caregivers residing in conflict-affected areas within the North and Middle governorates of the West Bank. Specifically, refugees in Jenin Camp, Nour Shams Camp in Tulkarem, and Akbet Jaber in Jericho who will be targeted through the regular MPC.lt/pgtltpgt ltbrgtProject locations have been selected based on SCI’s assessments and in coordination with the CWG, UNWRA and other stakeholders to avoid duplication and maximize coverage. The aim of the project will be achieved through a Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance, primarily centered to ensure access to essential commodities and services and promote economic stability. The project will provide predictable financial assistance to vulnerable households to sustain their income and resilience to chronic shocks and protracted crisis. The regular MPCA, will consist of four transfers per targeted household, which value is estimated at 1,250ILS based on the CWG calculations of transfer values and recommendations. The disbursement of cash will be facilitated through the Bank of Palestine (BoP) or Palpay, with which SCI has an ongoing financial service providers’ agreement. SCI will conduct Feasibility and Risk Analysis to assess MPCA viability and appropriateness prior and during the project implementation and will monitor market and financial services functionality in case adaptive strategies will be required. ltbrgtWhen possible, SCI will promote integrated approaches with other existing programmes in targeted locations to expand the services available to target communities, notably around child protection and MHPSS, and ensure economies of scale.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project will target a total of 696 individuals (145HH). Priorities will be given to children and women highly affected by the conflict and economic insecurity, including displaced families, children and women with protection risks, families who lost their assets, women HH have none or little income and suffer from high dependency rate (within those families with PLW and/or with children under 5 years of age will be favored), and persons with disabilities. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtlt/pgt
The resilience and sustainability of soil microbial functions to climate change induced-drought in Ethiopia
General
Climate change will cause extreme fluctuations in precipitation and temperatures generating intense drought and rainfall events. This will affect the functioning of most ecosystems, but the most severely affected include the world’s poorest and food security challenged nations, including Ethiopia. Microorganisms control decomposition of organic matter (OM), and dominate the terrestrial contribution to the global carbon (C) cycle. Water availability is a decisive regulator of microbial processes, but they also depend on C-availability, creating a strong feedback with plants. We will investigate how microbial processes are influenced by changes in water availability across a gradient from cool moist to hot arid Ecosystems in Ethiopia. We will evaluate the effect of different land-uses and field experimental drought on the resilience of microbial functions. Insights will be included in ecosystem models, and used to guide land-use policy in Ethiopia. The aims are: 1. Defining the microbial moisture dependence, and the resilience of the microbial functions to rewetting a soil. 2. Determining both long-term (gradient across Ethiopia) and short-term (within site field-experiments) legacy effects of drought and dry-wet cycles on 1. 3. Disentangling the relative influence of the soil microbial community and land-use on 1. 4. Distinguishing how land-use, restoration of degraded soils, and plant material additions can affect the microbial resilience to drought and variable moisture.
