Target Groups
24. The socioeconomic benefits to be delivered by the project at the national level will consist of enhancing capacity of staff from public institutions (e.g., MVOTMA, MGAP, and MINTUR) for incorporating biodiversity and ecosystem service conservation into strategic land use planning and environmental assessments, as well as for implementing conservation, restoration, and monitoring and control actions on the ground. At the local level, local governments will also participate in this training, which will benefit 150 to 200 people. Also at the local level, private stakeholders, including women groups, will benefit from economic and non-economic incentives to promote private conservation initiatives, restoration of ecosystems and degraded lands, sustainable agriculture, and sustainable provision of ecosystem services, inside and outside the PAs. Incentives will include payment for restoration services to landowners (palm communities, coastal micro-watersheds); these payments will be made possible through low-value grants by the project to local formalized organizations, following UNDP guidelines for low-value grants and with a criterion for disbursement tied to the results. Local stakeholders (cattle ranchers, agricultural producers, CSOs, technicians) will also benefit from training in ecosystem restoration and improved production practices, including agroecology and adaptive management of cattle ranching. The socioeconomic impact of the interventions will be evaluated to estimate the benefits from restoration and conservation activities conducted by the project. The results will be analyzed jointly with the local stakeholders through participatory processes. The project will train PA staff and other relevant stakeholders (CSOs, producers, departmental staff, and staff from other state agencies) in monitoring, and data collection and interpretation as part of the implementation of monitoring plan for assessing the effectiveness of six PAs in protecting vulnerable ecosystems and endangered and/or vulnerable species. In total, the project will directly benefit 2,340 people (50% women and 50% men).

Target Groups
The project will generate important socio-economic benefits, including benefits for COVID-19 recovery and climate resilience at the local level in Tuvalu. In particular, it will generate benefits to a total of 2,750direct beneficiaries, of which 1,100 women and 1,650 men.The SLM practices using IAE approach to be promoted will include improved management of pigs by promoting DLT and biodigesters for managing waste that will generate significant socioeconomic benefits, including: reduction in foul odour from current production systems; availability of biogas for cooking, reducing the pressure on the ecosystem for provisions of firewood; organic fertilizer for home gardens and growing crops; and availability of pigs to meet community and cultural obligations.In addition, the expected improvements in local food production will provide socioeconomic benefits, including: availability of more nutritious local food, which improves health; reduce household expenditures on low nutritious imported foods; support domestic trading to provide income, especially for rural communities in outer island who supply most of the local foods to Funafuti. The project will also support opportunities for economic empowerment of women by supporting food processing methods and through provisional ecosystem services in fibre for handicrafts and plants with high medicinal value.Furthermore, the project will revive traditional farming skills based on traditional ecological knowledge that are cultural heritage to be preserved and have been the foundation of Tuvaluan culture and resilience for many generations.Thereby, the project interventions will also contribute to full and productive employment and decent work in rural areas, aiming at the progressive realization of local peoples’ right to Decent Rural Employment.[1][1] 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/.
