Displaying 961 - 965 of 2116Land Investment for Transformation UP - LIFT UP
General
LIFT UP seeks to bring transformative, systemic and sustainable change in Ethiopia’s land administration and market systems in four regions (Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR)). It will - Improve land policy and planning - to support the development and implementation of inclusive, transparent and fair land proclamations, policies, regulations and procedures, at federal and regional levels and covering both rural and urban areas; - Deliver a sustainable land system - include the certification of 14 million additional parcels and capacity development of the rural and urban land administration system; - Improve social inclusion, dispute resolution and income - for farmers including women and vulnerable groups to translate their land tenure security into higher productivity, empowerment and wellbeing including 1.2 million small-holder farmers increasing their income by at least 15%
Ghana - Savannah Agriculture Value Chain Development Project (SADEP)
General
The Savannah Agriculture Value Chain Development Project (SADP) aims to ensure national food and nutrition security, create employment and contribute to industrialization. The project is expected to contribute to the Government’s industrialization agenda, support PFJ and RFJ, skills development and entrepreneurship for women and youth, and build resilient food systems in the savannah areas of northern and middle belts of Ghana. The proposed project will have three components namely (i) Climate-resilient Production Development, (ii) Sustainable Value Chain Development, and (iii) Project Management.
Objectives
The overall goal of the Project is to ensure national food and nutrition security, create employment and contribute to industrialization. The specific objectives are to increase the climate-resilient production of maize, rice and soybean to support the poultry value chain, generate employment, increase the incomes of farmers and support household nutrition, especially the vulnerable women headed households.
Target Groups
At least 50,000 beneficiaries are expected to participate in the activities of this operation. A key feature of this project is support to “value chain actors” to ensure an integrated production-processing-marketing ecosystem. Target districts were selected for the commercial production of rice, maize and soybean based on the presence of critical mass of commercial farmers with appreciable land size with tenure security, and presence of agriculture mechanization services centre or its equivalent.
Cameroon - Support Project for Modernization of Land Registration and Improvement of the Business Climate
General
This operation seeks to grant additional financing of UA 5 million to the Support Project for Modernization of Land Registration and Improvement of the Business Climate (PAMOCCA) in order to extend its activities to other regions of the country and strengthen the sustainability of outcomes. Indeed, PAMOCCA is a pilot project aimed at supporting the Government to strengthen governance in land registration and management through modernization of land registration in four towns, regional headquarters in the country (Yaounde, Douala, Maroua and Garoua) and to revise the land-related legislative, regulatory and institutional framework. This additional loan which will be disbursed over a period of four years (2014-2017), will be used to extend modernization of land registration to six other towns, which are regional headquarters in the country. The loan will also be used to finance a vast capacity building programme in land registration and management through continuing training, as well as create a specialized stream at the National School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM).
Objectives
PAMOCCA objective is to develop Cameroon’s land capital and help consolidate sustainable growth and reduce poverty. Specifically, this project seeks to consolidate and extend the expected outcomes of PAMOCCA which are as follows: (i) improved access to reliable and secured land titles; (ii) higher tax revenue in towns with reliable and computerized land registration services; and (iii) improved business climate.
Target Groups
The project will benefit the tax administration and MINDAF, active urban communities (UCs), and the private sector in terms of capacity building, resource mobilization and improvement of the business climate, as well as the population in terms of security and improvement of the living environment. The Cameroonian population in general will benefit from the impact of the project through activities aimed at improving access to charges on land and information.
Egypt - National Drainage Programme
General
The National Drainage Program is a key part of the government’s Water Resources Development Strategy which seeks to optimize the efficiency of water resource use as well as improve the efficiency of the drainage systems. It should permit to optimize the benefits of irrigation by draining excess irrigation water from agricultural land. The implementation of the programme is expected to result in higher crop yields in the target areas, higher farm incomes, and increased food security and poverty reduction in general. Water logging and the soil salinity can reduce crop productivity by 20-30%. The programme includes three components, namely: (i) construction and rehabilitation of subsurface and surface drainage; (ii) strengthening of the Egyptian Public Authority for Drainage Projects (EPADP) capacity for operation and maintenance; and (iii) project management and institutional development assistance.
Objectives
The principal objectives of this programme are to optimize the benefits of irrigation by draining excess irrigation water from agricultural land in order to reduce water logging and consequent soil salinity, in addition to making more land available for cultivation.
Target Groups
The primary beneficiaries will be the farming households in the project areas. Given the current land tenure in Egypt where the average farm size is one feddan, the primary/target beneficiaries should be approximately 125,000 households or 625,000 people, of which 50% are women. Indirect benefits include the prevention of further deterioration in crop yields if drainage is not improved, decrease of water borne disease incidence, improved rural sanitation, and protection of buildings against damage by the rising water table. Other benefits include an increase in land values after installation of drainage systems; increase in off-farm activities due to increased household income; improved health of households due to reduction of water-borne diseases and better nutrition.

Target Groups
The project will strengthen the land use planning, governance and management frameworks for sustainable forest management across two landscapes that cover more than half of the continental region of Equatorial Guinea. These landscapes are multi-use systems that are essential to the food security and livelihoods of the people who live within them. The ecosystems of the landscapes are vital to residents of the landscapes who rely on them for food production, water, energy and many other services. Over the last decades pressure on the natural resources of the landscapes has been increasing due to human interventions and climate change and variability.Establishing effective land use planning, governance and management systems for sustainable development will provide an improved means for stakeholders to dialogue and develop solutions to increasing pressure on the forest ecosystems. The application of these strategies will contribute to maintaining or improving the values and functions of the lanscapes’ ecosystems, improving their resilience, their ability to supply critical services and their ability to support multiple production systems. In turn this will build the adaptive capacity and resilience of local communities and the broader stakeholder community in the face of growing anthropogenic pressures and climate variability.In addition, the project will improve the capacity and resilience of local communities by developing alternative livelihoods. Without the intervention of this project, unsustainable practices and anthropogenic pressures will continue to negatively impact and degrade the area targeted by this project. These negative impacts will put at risk the ecological and livelihood systems upon which local communities directly depend and will increase the stressors confronting thousands of households across the region. These households will also have reduced flexibility to respond to the impacts of climate change.
