Displaying 1756 - 1760 of 2117Ecosystem Restoration and Sustainable Land Management to improve livelihoods and protect biodiversity in Nauru
Objectives
To achieve land degradation neutrality and improve ecosystem services in Nauru through integrated landscape management and conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.
Target Groups
The socio-economic benefits delivered by the Project include direct benefits enjoyed by beneficiaries, as well as indirect benefits to beneficiaries and at the national level. In terms of direct benefits, the Project will provide direct financial incentives for landowners to overcome the barrier to engage on SLM. In addition to that, beneficiaries will benefit from fiscal incentives which the Project will draft in close consultation with the private sector and with the government. These fiscal incentives, potentially in the form of tax easements or subsidies to be provided by the government, will ensure that direct financial benefits will continue to flow to landowners who engage on SLM also once the Project closes. Besides, the Project will deliver indirect benefits in the form of viable sustainable alternative livelihoods to landowners who engage on SLM, particularly in the form of sustainable agriculture. Additionally, the project will yield substantial biodiversity and Sustainable Land Management benefits, which are summarized under Section 1.a 6 Global Environmental Benefits. These will, amongst others, contribute to a substantial increase in ecosystem services, providing direct and indirect benefits to local communities such enjoyment of natural areas, spiritual and cultural appreciation of and reconnection with the land, as well as improved health of Nauru’s population.
Regeneration of Livelihoods and Landscapes (ROLL) Project
Objectives
Rural communities transform their landscapes and livelihoods by adopting sustainable land management practices, leading to enhanced flow of agro-ecosystem goods and services, climate change resilience and household income diversification.

Target Groups
The expected benefits will be multiple, encompassing both socio-economic and environmental dimensions. From a socio-economic perspective, the project will improve livelihoods and build resilience of communities and landscapes within the project area, through the creation of 200 sustainable enterprises, increased and diversified income and enhanced food and nutrition security. Other direct benefits include job creation and sustained permanent employment, as well as women empowerment (at least 50%) and youths and improved access to socio-economically important biological resources, such as medicinal plants and thatching grass, water and firewood. The project will support the promotion of alternative energy sources, saving labour/time, water and energy. The alternate energy sources will reduce firewood use, which contributes to soil erosion and general land degradation. The clean and efficient energy sources will reduce women's time to collect firewood. Time and labour saving climate-smart technologies could help improve the livelihoods of women. The project aims to generate more income and agricultural produce while at the same time reducing the labour burden on women and children to improve their livelihoods.The project will build the capacity of 250 stakeholders and communities in 5 districts on land degradation, knowledge enhancement on root causes for landscape degradation, and landscape management. The capacity building will empower at least 50% of women and youth to enhance the SLM and climate-resilient technologies leading to improved crop and livestock production. The envisaged collaborative planning with communities through building coalitions can strengthen social and economic development. Collaborative planning leads to developing a shared community vision, which supports social capital.From an environmental and climate change adaptation standpoint, the project will address environmental degradation, soil erosion and water retention. At least 350,000 ha (ROLL+GEF) of land will be restored through landscape management plans and improved management, including 7500 ha of restored forest and shrub land, 7000 ha of restored agricultural land and 335500 ha of restored rangelands, shrub lands and grasslands. Sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices will be applied on 14,500 ha, including both cropland and rangeland, 250 landscape regeneration coalitions will be formed and operationalised to sustainably manage natural resources and climate risks, and five LDN information hubs will be established as a mechanism for sharing and monitoring data. ROLL’s landscape approach will also mainstream biodiversity conservation as well as habitat and indigenous species protection, and support the management of invasive species and the restoration of more resilient and biodiverse watershed areas for sustainable use. Landscape regeneration has significant potential also in terms of climate change mitigation. Based on analyses carried out through EX-ACT and Global livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM-i), the mitigation co-benefits, including those generated from improved livestock herd and feed management, land use change activities and diversified vegetative cover, will amount to -9 901543 tCO2-eq sequestered over 350,402 ha and during a 20-year lifespan. This will correspond to a carbon balance of -1.4 tCO2-eq per ha and per year.
Landscapes Viet Nam
General
IDH has focused the work of the landscape program on the concept of PPI: Production-Protection-Inclusion. IDH is implementing this concept through the development of PPI compacts in 11 landscapes in seven countries. These are agreements between public, private and civil society parties to enhance sustainable productive land and secure livelihoods in exchange for natural resource conservation. IDH convenes coalitions that develop these compacts. The compacts are based on participatory land-use planning, whereby land for production (increasing productivity), livelihoods (income diversification, resilience, access to markets) and protection (forest, water, soil) is clearly identified, and their related uses are agreed on by the landscape stakeholders and recognized by local and national governments. The compacts also include goals for each of the PPI components, a time-bound plan of action, clear definition of roles and responsibilities, and a budget for implementation. The compacts are the basis for the PPI Fund and other investors to invest in the landscapes, as well as the basis for regional sourcing by supply chain companies. This will result in coalitions that are self-sustaining, are linked to markets, and prove the business case for landscape-level interventions and investments.

2017 Myanmar Programme
General
In Myanmar, Caritas Denmark works with the local partner Karuna Mission Solidarity Services (KMSS) to further sustainable agricultural development, strengthening of civil society at the community level as well as advocacy promoting the rights of poor agricultural communities through organisation and training of community groups. During 2017-2021 Caritas Denmark will continue to work in seven dioceses, where programme activities have been implemented since 2005. The focus for the period will be to strengthen the human rights-based approach in the programme. The aim is to address the rights issues that are affecting the rural poor farmers and their livelihood such as the politically sensitive land rights issue. Further, Caritas Denmark will take a stronger approach in programme design and planning to address climate change through disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation measures as most farmers’ livelihoods in Myanmar are affected by altered seasonal changes in weather and natural occurrences/disasters not previously experienced. This will be undertaken in a nexus of development-humanitarian interventions.
Objectives
Theme 1: Strengthening Family Livelihoods: Immediate Objective: To strengthen joint initiatives taken by poor rural families to pursue their right to be food secure and to have sustainable livelihoods. Theme 2: Strengthening Rural Organization: Immediate Objective: To strengthen community based organizations, and emerging networks of organized rural populations in supporting local livelihoods and securing equal access to basic rights through active engagement of local decision makers. Theme 3: Strengthening Rural Development: Immediate Objective: To strengthen community based organizations’ and their CSO partners’ advocacy on a national level for an inclusive sustainable development in rural areas.
