Sixth Replenishment (2014-2018) - Global Environment Facility (GEF) - I
General
This project represents Canada's sixth replenishment of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which is the single biggest source of funding for the global environment. Due to administrative reasons, this project is separated into two profiles for a total amount of $216,570,000. Canada is the sixth largest contributor to the GEF under its Sixth Replenishment (GEF-6), covering the period of 2014-2018 (Canada's contribution was recorded as $233.09 million as a result of the accelerated payment). By supporting the GEF, Canada helps developing countries implement their multilateral environmental agreements and environmental priorities in a way that supports national sustainable development priorities and ensures benefits for local development. Through the GEF, Canada supports work in areas such as climate change, biodiversity, chemicals and waste (including mercury), land degradation, international waters, and sustainable forest management. Under GEF-6, the GEF and its partner agencies continue to provide financing for new and improved environmental policies, legislation and regulatory frameworks, and capacity development in developing countries. As a member of the 32-member GEF Council, Canada works toward implementing its priorities for GEF-6, which are to: (1) leverage scarce donor resources, including through enhanced private sector engagement and greater use of non-grant instruments; (2) strengthen programming results, from an integrated approach pilot to address drivers of environmental degradation, better gender mainstreaming and enhanced country and civil society engagement; and (3) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the GEF by focusing on operational reforms, including improving the efficiency of the project cycle and strengthening the results-based management and the knowledge management systems. For the second profile for this project, as well as previous support to GEF, see related information below.
Programme fédéral belge de Coopération internationale communale (PCIC) Burkina Faso - phase 2022-2026
General
Afin de soutenir un développement durable et la résilience locale face aux effets des changements climatiques, le PCIC au Burkina Faso vise à ce que, d’ici 2026, les communes burkinabè y participant dans le cadre de partenariats de ville à ville aient amélioré leurs capacités et renforcé leur autonomie pour ce faire. Il y est attendu que ces évolutions se traduisent aux 8 niveaux interreliés suivants : • efficacité, à travers un renforcement de leurs capacités organisationnelles, institutionnelles et individuelles, en vue de fournir des services de base de qualité en prérequis aux services de proximité ; • prise de décision, au travers d'une mise en œuvre plus systématique et d’une acceptation plus large par les populations des délibérations prises en conseil communal ; • capacité d’assurer à une proportion toujours croissante des populations une identité juridique sécurisée, afin qu’elles puissent bénéficier pleinement de leurs droits de citoyens ; • modernisation de la gestion de l'état civil afin qu’une proportion toujours croissante de la population, tendant vers les 100%, soit identifiée de manière numérisée et sécurisée ; • maîtrise et sécurisation des registres fonciers ; • augmentation progressive du taux de recouvrement des recettes fiscales ; • suivi-évaluation des plans de développement communaux, au travers d’outils partagés avec toutes les parties prenantes, maîtrisés et appliqués ; • définition d’une stratégie communale de base en matière environnementale, pour l'administration communale et pour ses citoyens, au travers de schémas directeurs d'aménagement urbain et de plans d'occupation des sols ; • adoption, par les autorités locales, l'administration communale et les populations, de pratiques en cohérence avec les objectifs du développement durable, améliorant ainsi le cadre de vie.
Objectives
D’ici 2026, les communes burkinabè participant au PCIC auront renforcé leurs capacités organisationnelles et de gestion participative et transparente en vue de promouvoir une déclaration universelle des faits d'état civil et une politique foncière sensible au genre, de manière à se doter progressivement, sur une base autonome, juste et sécurisée, de ressources financières croissantes en soutien à un développement durable et à la résilience locale face aux effets des changements climatiques.
Target Groups
Directement: les élus et agents communaux concernés par les secteurs d'intervention dans les 9 communes burkinabè bénéficiaires du PCIC : o 578 hommes ; o 179 femmes. Indirectement, dans le cadre de MSPs: o les partenaires locaux des communes (OSC, institutions publiques et organisations privées), en soutien à l’atteinte de l’outcome et à la ToC locale ; o les autorités de tutelle, du fait que le développement de l'administration locale les amène à faire évoluer leurs législation et pratiques.
TUN Acces to land and credit in Tunisia
General
IMPACT: 23-0002515 Access to land and credit project implemented by IDLO in rural Tunisia aims to limit and control the fragmentation of agricultural plots and modernize agricultural operations by creating plots with regular shapes, accessible, viable and economically profitable.

Improving Livelihoods, Agriculture and National Development in Ethiopia
General
The project aims to increase agricultural productivity for smallholder farmers (women and men) in 18 districts in the regions of Amhara, Tigray and Oromia in Ethiopia. These districts have reliable rainfall and high potential for agricultural growth but are increasingly affected by land degradation and food insecurity. The project is designed to address these issues by supporting the national Sustainable Land Management Program that works with communities and local officials to develop and implement resilience-building plans. These plans focus on reducing land degradation and improving agriculture productivity through increased use of sustainable land management approaches such as rehabilitating degraded watersheds, introducing high value crop varieties, and building terraces and water harvesting systems. Canada’s contribution aims to benefit an estimated 252,000 women and men in these 18 districts. The sustainable land management practices being introduced include tree planting, gully rehabilitation, terracing, cut-and-carry livestock feeding, and building small-scale irrigation systems.
