General
The overall aim is to improve household livelihood for rural communities in a set of communities in the north-Ethiopian Tigray region, by supporting community-based woodland restoration and woodland ecosystem services development. The major objectives are (i) to boost woodland ecosystem restoration on large and highly degraded areas by management of exclosures and forest relicts; (ii) to improve resilience to land degradation and store carbon in the restored woodlands; (iii) to support ecosystem services development (a.o. increased availability of fodder, firewood provision and grassy biomass; erosion reduction; honey and/or frankincense production). The interventions will lead to the following specific (quantifiable) targets: (1) Increased area of better managed community woodlands; (2) Increased inclusive and participatory established woodland area with increased water infiltration, soil moisture and reactivation of springs1, less land degradation (desertification) activity and water runoff – which will create resilience against the effects of recurrent droughts; (3) A social shift towards stable feeding, as fodder can be derived from grass harvested from the exclosure; and (4) Sequestration of carbon, mainly through increases in above- and belowground biomass.
Scaling Up Fertilizer Micro-Dosing and Indigenous Vegetable Production and Utilization in West Africa (CIFSRF
General
Poor soil fertility and land degradation result in low production yields and quality for indigenous vegetables in West Africa. This project will address the challenges to improve vegetable production through fertilizer innovations. Increasing vegetable yields and quality This project will build on earlier research funded by the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF), a program of IDRC undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada. Two earlier projects generated promising results to improve food security in West Africa for poor families. Using innovations developed in this earlier work, researchers will speed up adoption of innovative approaches that will use cost-saving fertilizer micro-dosing and better water management to improve indigenous vegetable production in Nigeria and Benin. The project team will develop, test, and deploy two different models (Innovations Platform and Satellite Dissemination Approach) that will reach and benefit more farmers with sustainable vegetable production and marketing approaches. They will connect women-led cooperatives and youth groups to the private sector and business organizations, directly reaching more than 255,000 households. The team's work will involve further developing commercial seed production, postharvest handling, and value chains. They will also strengthen producer groups. Project leadership A consortium of five universities in Canada, Benin, and Nigeria will lead the project. They will mobilize at least 20 private sector partners and government agencies to build small and medium vegetable and fertilizer businesses. Their work will serve to double the income of approximately one million farmers in West Africa along the vegetable value chain.
PROG2017-2021-DGD: Sustainable and participatory management of environmental strategic forest areas in the Kab
General
Le programme vise (Outcome) au développement des opportunités économiques des femmes rurales par un renforcement de leur pouvoir d’agir dans la filière laitière locale et la gouvernance foncière. Il s’appuie pour y parvenir sur l’atteinte de 5 résultats complémentaires qui opérationnalise la théorie de changement: (1) les organisations paysannes et deux ONG de soutien travaillent à réduire les inégalités de genre à l’interne, dans leurs programmes et via leurs revendications politiques, (2) les agriculteurs familiaux et en particulier les femmes rurales actives dans la chaîne de valeur « lait local » développent leurs activités économiques et des pratiques durables (production, transformation, commercialisation), (3) les agriculteurs familiaux des communes d’intervention, et principalement les femmes, renforcent la compréhension de leur droit à l’accès sécurisé à la terre, et des mécanismes à leurs dispositions pour le faire respecter,(4) les organisations partenaires ont développé un travail d’influence, en réseaux avec d’autres organisations de la société civile (plaidoyer/campagne), envers les décideurs et le secteur privé à différents niveaux (local, national et régional), et (5) les partenaires renforcent leur fonctionnement et développent leur capacité. L’intervention implique directement 6 partenaires, ONG et organisations paysannes au niveau local, national et régional ouest africain. Trois parties prenantes concourent aussi directement à l’intervention.

Interrogating Large-Scale Land Acquisitions and Their Implications for Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
General
Despite their critical role in promoting food security on the African continent, women continue to be marginalized in the distribution and allocation of land. The implications for both family survival and national food security are far-reaching. This project will support research to examine the conditions needed to allow women to become empowered to participate in large-scale land acquisition (LSLAs) processes. The objective is to help ensure that sub-Saharan Africa puts the legal and policy frameworks in place to foster better accountability and legitimacy on issues of land governance. African women must continue to engage in food crop farming to ensure food security for their families and for the continent at large. This is only possible if their right to land is protected, respected, and fulfilled. Previous studies have shown that African women's right to land is seriously under threat. Traditionally, African women have not had equal access to land and weak land laws and governance processes related to LSLAs are further eroding their access. We are now learning more about the impact of LSLAs on livelihoods in affected communities but little evidence exists on gender differences. Little is also known about how African women have developed strategies to foster more equitable land governance policies and practices to ensure greater accountability and transparency around LSLAs. This research seeks to fill these knowledge gaps. The ultimate goal of the project is to promote land governance policies that treat both genders more equally and that contribute to greater accountability and transparency around LSLAs. The research will be implemented in six communities in three African countries: Ghana, Cameroon, and Uganda. All three have experienced LSLAs. The research team will explore the following: -land acquisition processes; -winners and losers in these transactions; -ways in which the losers (specifically, rural African women) respond to their situation; and, -extent to which these responses are successful. The project will create gender-sensitive evidence-based knowledge that can be used by women, local communities, non-state actors, and public authorities to enhance accountability and legitimacy in LSLAs processes. It will also propose gender inclusive strategies for formal and informal institutions that will respect, promote, and protect women's rights in LSLAs processes.

Benefits. 350. In the intervention area, the project will serve small rural producers and their families, with special attention to women and young people, who are considered among the ranks of poor households and extremely poor households, and will provide them with capacity building through technical assistance services to implement agroforestry systems, sustainable forest management, agroecological production and good agricultural practices for the production of coffee, cocoa and other farm products. The project's actions will also contribute to rehabilitating rural agricultural livelihoods in a stage of recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and the country's situation. The adoption of agroforestry and agroecological systems, coupled with good agricultural practices, which encompass different cleaner production practices (CPP), will enable the production processes of coffee and cocoa and other crops to improve and rehabilitate agricultural land in the project intervention area, improving crop conditions, maintaining yields and improving food security in the future. In addition, a program of productive alternatives will be established, including: family gardens, medicinal plants, spices, aromatic and ornamental plants for the diversification of food production and marketing of surpluses, as well as food preparation activities (without cooking) and alternatives for cooking food with clean energy. 351. In this way, the sustained agricultural economy and its products will provide locally produced fresh food both for the family and for the local community and local and regional markets, a situation that compensates for the limitations of movement due to quarantine (by Covid19) and at the same time decreases dependence and the need for food from other regions. In this context, small rural producers and their families take on productive work, which generates a fair income, secures their home, which is their place of work while protecting the family, which translates into better prospects for personal development and social integration. 352. In this way, the project supports the four pillars of decent work through: training to improve production and productivity of coffee and cocoa and other items with a sustainable approach, improvement of working conditions in rural areas, associativity with the inclusion of women and youth, diversification of the livelihoods of: women and men small-scale producers, supporting access to markets and value chains, agribusiness for sustainable products, rural participation and governance in land management, protection of forests and value chains and negotiations in local markets. 353. All of the above translates into socioeconomic benefits driven by the implementation of the project in the intervention areas at the local and regional level, producing an impact at the national level.
