Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.
Target Groups
First, the project will generate socio-economic benefits by maintaining and enhancing the resource base (rangelands, forests) on which the local communities in the three target provinces rely for their livelihoods.Second, the project will support farmers and herders (women and men), including Kuchi herders, in the target districts to generate income from improved value chains, such as, for example, for pine nuts, medicinal plants or dairy products. It will also generate socio-economic benefits for women through the implementation of small-scale greenhouses (for sapling and fruit/vegetable production). Additionally, it will help herders to strengthen the health of their livestock through improved access to veterinary services and fodder. The project seeks to achieve additional income (or other socio-economic benefits as perceived by the beneficiaries) from enhanced value chains for at least 450 households.Finally, through these interventions, the project also works towards achieving full and productive employment and decent work in rural areas, including women and men.

Target Groups
The project, in particular through its Component 2, aims at supporting local resource users and the relevant county organizations to establish sustainable agricultural practices that target improved livelihoods, ecosystem resilience as well as related land use planning approaches. Involving local stakeholders and decision makers in catchment restoration and land use planning increases their appreciation of the direct interactions between water management, agricultural production and ecosystem services; supporting increased supply of natural resources for the benefit of both the users and the catchment itself. Engaging private companies in upstream catchment management aims to improve food value chains, e.g. through longer-term horticulture contracts for export markets such as green beans, avocados, potatoes and other vegetables, leading to increased profits and improved livelihoods. These in turn provide further incentives for locally engaging in sustainable catchment management. In Component 2, the project commits to delivering socio-economic benefits to the local resource users through ? Climate smart food value chains benefitting 5,000 households (22,500 persons); and ? A 20% increase in farm production yields The project will promote labor saving technologies for the activities performed by women for marketable commodities as well as for household tasks such as water or fuel supply and food preparation. The technologies include solar cookers, rainwater harvesting, woodlots, water spring protection, and energy efficient stoves, among others. The project will also promote backyard gardens for food and nutrition security as well as conduct nutrition messaging to accompany any training at community level. Women groups will be encouraged to participate in livelihood value chain activities to earn income e.g. on beekeeping, or fruit tree management. Further indirect socio-economic benefits can be derived from the improved ecosystem status in the targeted catchments, including through improved water quality and quantity, wetland and forest restoration. The combination of biophysical and agricultural techniques and support for water management is expected to lead to diversified production and increased yields through improved soil retention; broadened adaptation potential and resilience through reduced erosion upstream, as well as at least stabilized catchment ecosystem services. Downstream economic benefits will include reduced water treatment costs through reduced sediment concentration and increased hydropower generation through higher water yield and reduced sedimentation. The Water Fund to be established will perpetuate the incentivization of integrated catchment management, leading to local and global environmental as well as local socio-economic benefits, both up- and downstream. Among the global environmental benefits are: ? Maintenance or improvement of the sustainable delivery of ecosystem services; ? Maintenance or improvement of land and soil productivity, in order to enhance food security; ? Synergies with other social, economic and environmental objectives, reinforcing responsible, inclusive and sustainable land management. The socioeconomic benefits to be delivered by the project and the EIWF are also closely aligned with Aichi Target 4 […] governments, business and stakeholders at all levels have taken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and consumption […], Aichi Target 7: […] areas under agriculture, aquaculture and forestry are managed sustainably, ensuring conservation of biodiversity, Aichi Target 11: […] terrestrial and inland water […] areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes […], as well as Aichi Target 14: […] ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded […].
Global Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) Platform Phase II B: Unified Support Platform and
Objectives
To provide streamlined support and capacity building at the country, regional, and global level to enable Non Annex I countries under the UNFCCC and developing countries under the Paris Agreement to better respond to reporting requirements and to catalyze increased ambition within country NDCs to contribute to the stated temperature goal of well below 2 degrees and if possible 1.5 degrees.

Target Groups
This project will ultimately contribute to enhanced ambitions in reducing GHG emissions. Improved coordination will generate synergies and avoid duplication across support initiatives and efforts, freeing resources for additional efforts in the global aim to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. Similarly, the enhanced availability of knowledge through a centralized coordination platform will help countries increase their transparency capacity and, as a result, their capacity to report progress on their NDCs and long-term policy planning, providing for increased ambition.In the area of climate change, the project will increase climate-related knowledge through improved GHG inventories and transparency frameworks and will disseminate good practice to developing countries, which will in turn allow them to undertake more robust mitigation activities. Furthermore, capacity improvements related to climate change adaptation and guidance on including robust adaptation goals in NDCs will generate adaptation-related benefits, but they may also generate benefits in other global environmental areas, such as biodiversity and land degradation through improved REDD+ capacity.
COLORADO RIVER DELTA
General
The Colorado River Delta is one of the most important sites for migratory waterbirds in Mexico, providing riparian areas, lagoons, brackish marshes, and tidal mudflats that support 350,000 wintering shorebirds (31 species) and 60,000 ducks and geese (26 species). The loss of connectivity between the Delta and the Upper Gulf of California due to sedimentation and low river flow has caused significant habitat loss. This project will protect 26,600 acres of estuarine wetlands in the lower portion of the Colorado River Delta by obtaining a Mexican federal land concession and restore 5,211 acres within this area by augmenting freshwater flows and improving the connectivity with the tides to maintain lagoons, marshes, and mudflats. The project will allocate more freshwater flow to these wetlands and dredge channels that connect lagoons to the primary tidal channel.
CONSERVING BICKNELL THRUSH WINTERING HAB
General
Bicknell's Thrush (BITH) is a neotropical migratory bird species whose population overwinters predominantly in the ..Dominican Republic where forest habitat is under threat from agricultural expansion and fire. With past NMBCA ..support, significant progress has been made in identifying and protecting critical habitat, managing that habitat, ..and restoring previously lost habitat for BITH in the DR. This project builds and expands upon those advances. ..This project will: 1) improve management of four key habitat areas by supporting park guard personnel, patrols, and ..boundary-marking 2) engage coffee and cacao farmers in Bird-Friendly production methods; 3) restore 73 hectares ..by planting more than 35,000 native trees and coffee plants, 3) monitor presence, and distribution of BITH and other ..Partners in Flight priority migratory species; and 4) conduct land tenure studies to explore opportunities for expanding ..land protection. With matching funds, we will: 1) hire 7 new park guards, and maintain 11 existing guards and two ..reserve managers; 2) build a new guard station 3) create a new 7.5 hectare private reserve; and 4) build capacity in ..our partner through construction of an ecotourism facility and a fundraising/educational event.
