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/.

This will include consultations with local authorities, community elders and host communities to identify and register the most vulnerable people for NFIs support. The project implementation will involve the following activities: 1. Market analysis: AYUUB will carry out two market analysis to determine the appropriate modality of the NFIs distribution 2. Beneficiaries registration: AYUUB will hold consultations with community members to jointly determine the targeting criteria, identify the most vulnerable and register beneficiaries for the NFIs and Shelter. AYUUB will prioritize the Most vulnerable people in the Targeted area . AYUUB will also target host communities to ensure that other vulnerable people within thetarget locations are also assisted based on needs and also avoid conflict between the host community and displaced people. 3. NFIs Throug In Kind distribution: AYUUB will distribute NFIs through in Kind distribution to 800 households (5200 people) who include 1200 women, 1100 men, 1600 girls, 1300 boys.
