General
The aim of this particular project is to ensure the participation of leading civil society organizations on land rights in the activities of the Global Call to Action on Indigenous and Community Land Rights and more specifically the Bern-conference: Scaling Up the Implementation of Community Land and Resource Rights, that will take place on September 30th and October 1st. The Bern conference provides an important opportunity for ensuring Southern participation in the Global Call to Action on Indigenous and Community Land Rights and mobilizing and broadening the scope of the campaign. The expected results are: 12 leading Southern CSOs will participate in the Bern Conference and the meeting of the steering committee of the Global Call to Action on Indigenous and Community Land Rights. 250 representatives of national, regional and international CSOs, IGOs, multilateral organizations, researchers and land rights activists will attend an interactive debate at the Bern conference: Making Community Land Rights a Global Priority. Leading African CSOs will contribute to this session. 50 participants will participate in a strategy meeting on the Global Campaign on Indigenous and Community Land Rights. Leading African CSOs will contribute to this session. Finally the project proposal also aims to ensure that womens land rights and property rights are prioritized in the Global Call to Action on Indigenous and Community Land Rights.

Duhuze Rwanda CMM
General
Establish and promote mechanisms for restoring and strengthening the unity and reconciliation of Rwandans, which in turn will support USAID's overall goal of accelerating Rwanda's progress to middle income status and better quality of life through sustained growth and reduction of poverty. Applications must incorporate a people to people approach and focus on one or more of the following areas: - consolidate citizen's ownership of unity and reconciliation processes - use home grown solutions to strengthen social cohesion and advocate for the empowerment of vulnerable groups within Rwandan society - land dispute management in order to reduce land related conflicts (80% of all conflicts in Rwanda relate to land issues) and promote social cohesion
Objectives
1. Enhanced psychosocial support for people inclusive of youth affected by transgenerational trauma in target communities 2. Improved trust among diverse groups through inclusive dialogues and joint economic initiatives 3. Enhanced capacities of authorities, CSOs and private sector to effectively implement the reconciliation policy and build peace
Target Groups
Young people, women land owners, local government authorities (particularly those working on implementing land reform)
IndiaZooRisk+: Using OneHealth approaches to understand and co-develop interventions for zoonotic diseases aff
General
Zoonotic diseases (that spread from animals to humans) disproportionately affect poor tropical communities and can lead to loss of life, impaired livelihoods, health and welfare. Forest habitats are a significant source of such diseases. For communities that depend on forests for food, fuel and income, accessing forests comes with the increased risk of being exposed to zoonotic pathogens. Although we know that zoonotic diseases are increasing globally, we still lack knowledge on how these diseases circulate between wildlife, livestock and people as they use forests, and how environmental changes like forest degradation interact with human migration, local culture and society (knowledge sharing), and policy (land tenure, disease prioritisation) to exacerbate emergence and spread. Focussing on India as a key global hotspot for endemic and emerging zoonotic diseases and bringing together a network of policy makers and practitioners from the human health, animal health and environmental sectors with experts (public and animal health, ecology, epidemiology and social science) - thereby following the One Health approach -, this project aims to reduce health, welfare and livelihood impacts of zoonotic diseases by (1) better understanding the impacts of different drivers on health outcomes and spread of zoonotic diseases (2) co-develop improved interventions, integrating traditional knowledge, with affected forest communities and, thereby building the capacity of local communities to be more resilient to zoonotic diseases. Three neglected zoonotic diseases, Leptospirosis, Kyasanur forest Disease and Scrub Typhus that are widespread across the Western Ghats forest communities and cause severe complications and death if untreated, yet have different transmission routes, will be taken as key case-studies for field research. The research underpinning these improvements will include: (1) understanding how local culture and policies, nutrition and environment factors affect community interventions, perceptions and health outcomes from zoonotic diseases. (2) investigating how different communities share knowledge on diseases and health intervention, including traditional knowledge, both with each other and with practitioners and managers, to improve communication strategies. (3) studying the role of different wildlife and livestock hosts and tick and mite vectors in transmission of disease to humans in different seasons. (4) understanding how long distance seasonal migration of pastoralists may promote resilience or increase their exposure to diseases and environmental change. (5) developing computer models and risk maps, integrating environmental and social data, for predicting the distribution and spread of diseases. (6) building capacity in research, data analysis and cross-sectoral collaboration to underpin future One Health approaches in India. Improved decision-support tools and Apps and prioritisation of traditional knowledge will help disease managers, policy makers and community workers to develop novel interventions and better target vaccination and communication efforts towards the communities that are most at risk and help managers in agriculture and environmental sectors to understand how, for these communities, disease impacts may coincide with other negative impacts of environmental change. The project platform and approach of co-developing research, training and decision support tools on zoonotic diseases with stakeholders across sectors, accounting for their needs and underlying ecological and social processes, will build significant capacity in science, policy and practitioners to respond to these emerging and endemic global threats in India and beyond.

Strengthening livelihoods civil society and community-based natural resource management of indigenous communit
General
Chepangs and Tamangs live in the hills and mountains of central Nepal facing many types of hazard that affect both lives and livelihood.They are regarded as the most marginalized and resource poor groups in Nepal.Their tiny land holdings provide no more th an 3 to 6 months of food security.The forest and overall landscape is degrading because of the human pressure in forest land.The already formed Community Forest User Groups are not functioning well because of their limited capacity.Due to lack of knowledge of efficient and sustainable agricultural practices and land-tenure rights the communities practicing the traditional slash and burn cultivation have reduced the cultivation cycle from 3-5 years to one year.This had led to serious soil erosion problems th at cause regular landslides that destroy agricultural fields and threaten the lives of people and animals.The main objective of this project is to uplift the livelihoods and food security of the Chepang and Tamang communities through agro-forestry developm ent and improved community-based natural resource management.This is achieved by developing sound biodiversity management and sustainable livelihood activities in order to maintain rebuild and revitalize socio-ecological production landscape.Capacity build ing of CFUGs will be done to strenghten their operational capacity and women's self-help groups will be formed to promote women's empowerment and livelihood.The project will build capacities of local civil society organizations and duty-brearers and promot e positive interaction between local government and Chepang and Tamang communities.The project implemented by NAFAN and supported by the Swallows supports Finland's development objectives by increasing food security and promoting sustainable use of natural resources local democracy and participation of women in decision making. The project will strengthen local organization's capacity in community capacity building and establishing linkages between communities and local government. The project is expected t o benefit directly around 2200 right-holders and 100 duty-bearers. In addition to this approx. 3000 people are expected to benefit indirectly.
