Objectives

In close coordination with NRC and DRC, AVORD has developed this proposal with the aim of delivering a holistic, integrated response to provide life-saving services to vulnerable communities in Xudur. As elaborated in the attached teaming agreement, AVORD will take lead in the provision of Non-Food Items, emergency shelters and CCCM services in Xudur while DRC and NRC will undertake complementary WASH and Protection activities respectively. Tentative implementation arrangements have been endorsed by the three agencies with a commitment to coordinate closely and target a similar target group, hence maximizing impact and efficiency of this response. Under the present proposal, AVORD will distribute NFIs on-Food Items (NFIs) to 4,700 IDP and host community households (estimated 28,200 persons) who live in extremely poor shelter conditions. The target group include 6,768 men, 9,024 women, 3,384 boys and 3,384 girls from the IDP community and 1,692 men, 2,256 women, 846 boys and 846 girls from host communities. Of the target group, an estimated 846 men, 1,128 women, 423 boys and 423 girls will be targeted based on disability. Each registered household will be provided with 1 NFI kit comprising of 1 Plastic Sheet, 3 Blankets, 2 Sleeping Mats, 1 Kitchen Set, 1 Mosquito Net, 1 Solar Lamp and 2 Jerry Cans with the capacity of 10 Liters each. In addition to NFIs, emergency shelters will be constructed for 250 newly arrived IDPs and those living in the open. In the construction of these shelters, the project team will ensure adequate separation between individual household shelters and that pathways exist to provide all-weather access to individual dwellings and facilities. AVORD will closely coordinate with district officials and relevant line ministries at state and national levels to secure land tenure for a minimum of 3 years. The number of emergency shelters to be constructed under this project has been limited to 250 since the majority of IDPs reside in private land, making it difficult to secure enough space for the construction of a large number of shelters. However, it is anticipated that IDPs will be able to use the plastic sheets that will provided as part of the NFI kit to repair damages to their current shelters. With regards to CCCM, AVORD will setup and strengthen camp governance structures where necessary to enhance information-sharing and trigger system-wide coordination among service providers. Key program activities also include construction of 2 culturally-appropriate multi-purpose social halls to provide space for improved coordination and effective management of sites. Periodic service mapping, site monitoring and safety audits will be undertaken in close coordination with NRC, DRC, the CCCM cluster and other humanitarian partners in the area to effectively address existing gaps and maximize efficiency of the humanitarian response. Site maintenance committees in target settlements will be equipped with a range of site maintenance tools and supplies before engaging in cash-for-work schemes through which community-led site upkeep and maintenance activities will be carried out. AVORD will adapt systematic approach to beneficiary selection with a clear criterion to prioritize the marginalized, single headed-households, large families and/or families with children under the age of 5, women at risk as identified by protection officers and those with special needs. Data collected to inform beneficiary selection will be segregated by gender to ensure that no group is left-out. List of beneficiaries along with their contact numbers will be availed to SHF and other actors responding in the area to avoid overlap. The effectiveness of the aid package will be ascertained through Post Distribution Monitoring exercise thus ensuring that beneficiaries access their services safely and in a dignified manner. An elaborate feedback and complain mechanism will be setup to ensure accountability to the affected population.

General

This project directly aligns with the MIF's Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) program as it seeks to position Haiti as a supplier of sustainably produced vetiver and scale the introduction of CSA practices and technologies in the vetiver value chain. This intervention will improve the environmental and economic resilience of rural communities in two geographic departments (South and Southeast), integrating 500 small farmers' households - 30% of whom will be women into the vetiver value chain to increase their household income and continue to contribute to sustainable land management.

General

The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) seeks to strengthen the operational and institutional capacity of its departments. This strengthened support targets increasing the resilience of small ruminant livestock herders in the Area C of the southern West Bank (Hebron governorate) by boosting the production and productivity of the sheep and goat populations. Targeted interventions are in the fields of breeding, feeding and animal health service provision. The equipment and material listed in this supplies tender were identified with support from the technical assistance services, with strong involvement of the following central and decentralised directorates of MoA: the General Directorate (GD) of Extension and Rural Development, GD Veterinary Services, GD National Agricultural Research Station (NARC) and their departments: Ruminant, Field Crops, Range Land Management, as well as the breeding stations in Beit Qad and As Samua, the central veterinary laboratory, and the Palestinian Centre for Livestock Improvement (PCLI).

Target Groups

The project will help deliver the following global socio-economic benefits: GEF 7 Core Indicator Target Expected contribution of the GEF project Direct beneficiaries (disaggregated by gender) benefit of GEF investments. 80,000 members (50% women and 50% men) of rural communities in the target landscapes (disaggregated by gender) directly benefitting of project interventions. ? 5,000 coffee producers trained and equipped with sustainable shade coffee intercropping technologies and inputs. ? 25,000 rice/legume producers trained and equipped with SRI/SRA/CA technologies and inputs. ? 280 public and private extension providers in the target landscapes trained to provide continuous training and technical support to farm and forest producers and producer organizations, cooperatives and SME.The project will support all trained trainers in the search for mechanisms enhancing the economic sustainability and institutionalization of their services beyond the life of the project, such as the creation of cooperatives or associations of training providers (in this case in the private sector) whose work can be covered by small fees of FFS/FBS/FFBI participants. ? 300 staff of community-based nurseries and seedbanks trained and equipped to produce high-quality seeds, seedlings and cuttings. The project will provide a business-oriented nursery/seedbank development approach, so that small local businesses become economically sustainable through the commercialization of the plants and the planting services. ? 70 coffee production, processing and marketing organizations, cooperatives and SME (involving around 3,500 members) are trained and equipped to operate as social/environmental responsible business, increase the quantity and quality of their products, and access domestic and international ethical/organic markets. ? 32 community-based COBA/RAG organizations (involving around 1,600 users) active in firewood/NTFP production, harvesting and marketing are trained and equipped to operate as social/environmental responsible business, increase the quantity and quality of their products, and access domestic and international ethical/organic markets. ? The staff of the FOFIFA Kianjavato Research Centre are trained and equipped to improve the conservation and management of genetic resources of wild/commercialized Coffea species and varieties and other targeted agriculture crop species and varieties, and increase the production of seeds and seedlings accessible to PA managers, decentralized forest services, COBA, RAG and forest and farm producers in the target landscapes. ? Two PhD students will develop research to improve knowledge about the conservation status and genetic diversity of wild Coffea species with the objective to improve conservation/restoration of natural habitats and develop climate-adaptive, and economically beneficial commercial hybrids. ? Around 600 VC actors (cooperatives, equipment/input suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, hotels, restaurants, tour operators, exporters, end-market buyers) have increased their knowledge about VC functioning, actors and linkages, their commercial collaborations, and access to ethic/green certification market segments. ? Around 60,000 people will benefit from the policy development and resposnsible tenure governance improvements leading to SNRM, BD conservation, forest/land restoration, and SVC development. The Global socio-economic benefits are based following on the following considerations: ? Forest restoration and adaptive forest management: It is estimated that during the project lifetime the members of the 32 COBAs and RAGs (about 1,600 members in total) with management transfer rights in designated forest areas in/around protected areas in the target landscapes will benefit of continuous ER and FFBI learning and technical support, and procurement investments, resulting in 5,000 ha of restored natural forests, and 5,000 ha of restored agroforestry systems under responsible tenure governance. The forest users that throughout the process have acquired a greater organizational capacity and have sustainably intensified production of the project's target commodities (e.g. firewood/charcoal, bee products, wild silk, basketry, and other prioritized NTFP during project implementation), will be supported to improve their organizational and social/environmental responsible business capacity to intensify/diversify the production of high-quality products, to enhance access to ethical/green certification market segments, and develop contract farming agreements with domestic and international buyer companies operating in these markets and the eco-tourism sector. The project will target women and men in equal proportion of 50 percent. ? Sustainable intensification of coffee agroforestry and diversified rice production systems: It is estimated that during the project lifetime approx. 35,000 women and men smallholder farmers and forest users will directly and indirectly benefit of continuous FFS/FBS/FFBI learning and coaching, and procurement investments in the target landscapes, resulting in 5,000 ha of sustainably intensified shade coffee intercropping plantations, 20,000 ha of sustainably intensified rice/legume diversified production systems under SRI/SRA/CA, and 10,000 of degraded forest and agroforestry land restored. The project will enhance the organizational and business development (with social/environmental corporate responsibility) capacity of the targeted coffee and rice producer organizations, cooperatives and SME, so that they can access to ethical/green certification market segments, and develop contract farming agreements with domestic and international buyer companies operating in these markets. The project will target women and men in equal proportion of 50 percent. ? Increased skills and knowhow on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC: Approximately 35,000 community members will have acquired good knowledge and skills on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC. About 280 extension providers from the public deconcentrated agriculture/forest technical services, NGOs, COBA/RAG, private organizations and women/men lead farmers and forest users will be qualified as lead trainers and facilitators on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC development, therefore increasing their employment opportunities during project implementation and beyond. ? Micro, small and medium enterprise development around ethic/green VC commodities: The project will support approximately 5,000 farm and forest producers to become members of environmentally sound, social beneficial and economically viable POs, cooperatives and/or SME, through training, technical and financial support to operate according to ethical employment standards and healthy/quality/certification standards, and to adopt innovative production/processing/marketing technologies that allow an increase and diversification of high quality production complying with national/international certification standards. Local businesses around GVC commodities will include: (i) community nurseries and seedbanks for the production and marketing of high-quality plant material (seeds, seedlings and cuttings) and the provision of services to customers on the use of plant material in ER/SLM/SFM implementation; (ii) COBA/RAG community organizations for the production and marketing of firewood/charcoal and NTFPs (ecotourism); (iii) POs, cooperatives and SME for the production and marketing of high-quality products from coffee, fruits, rice, legumes, and other complementary crops. The project will target a minimum of 1/3 of women among beneficiaries. ? In terms of access to international market segments around ethic/organic certification, the project PPP contract farming agreements between landscape coffee producers and processors and international buyers (mainly SFCC members involved in ethic/green/specialty coffee products) will help increase the country’s current coffee export records by 10 % by project’s closure (from around 2 300 MT as average over the last 5 years[1] to about 2 500 MT in Y5). In the same way, no less than 30% of supplies originating from the project and traded on the domestic market will carry, by project’s end (Y5), a certification logo that producers will obtain after compliance with the introduced Participatory Guarantee Schemes’ (PGS) practices/dictates. ? At least 50% of targeted farmers and forest users will double their income by the end of the project, thanks to the sustainable intensification and production diversification interventions. ? Adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers and forest users: The project will enhance the adaptive capacity of women and men smallholder farmers and forest users, addressing the gender-specific adaptation needs. The project will enhance farmer’s resilience and adaptation capacity in the following way: (i) reduce the impact of climate shocks on smallholder farmers through the promotion of infrastructures, equipment and management practices that help compensate the effect of drought and flood events through improved soil water conservation (SRI/SRA/CA and agroforestry management systems; water harvesting/storage infrastructures/equipment, less water demanding crop varieties); (ii) diversify livelihoods (food and economic security) with reduced risk of total production loss due to extreme climate events, involving the sustainable intensification of shade coffee intercropping (mix production of coffee, fruits, tuber roots and vegetables) and the diversification of rice/legume farm intercropping/rotation and tree-crop-livestock systems (e.g. rice, legumes, fruits, small livestock, home gardens); (iii) increase the capacity of producer organizations to preserve and process their products reducing their perishability increasing their capacity to negotiate in the market over a longer period of time without depending on the seasonality of the raw product; (iv) increase the capacity to produce high quality ethic/green products with greater potential to access new and more stable growing market segments (e.g. organic and fair trade) and increase revenue that allow smallholder farmers to cover needs in times of shocks. Target 1.B in MDG 1 (“Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger”) highlights the central role of employment and decent work in achieving food security and poverty reduction, therefore allowing women and men in rural communities to have access to the knowledge and resources necessary to produce sustainably and thereby contributing to the SDG target 15.3 on LDN and to AFR100 (National FLR Strategy). The project formulation has followed the Guidance on How to Address Decent Rural Employment Concerns in FAO Country Activities to make sure that decent rural employment is promoted in the project outcomes and outputs: Table. The Four Pillars of Decent Rural Employment (DRE) in the project Pillar 1: Employment creation and enterprise development ? Component 1will address explicitly policies, regulations and bylaws supporting zero-deforestation and BD conservation in the implementation of ER/SLM/SFM/GVC development. ? The training-of-trainers (ToT) under Outcome 2.1 and Outcome 3.1 will increase the professionalization of members of practitioners on ER/SLM/SFM/ethic & green VC related-jobs. ? The FFS/FBS/FFBI learning programmes under Outcomes 2.1 and 3.1 will provide vocational and education training for rural women and men on technical and business skills, which will increase their chances of finding jobs and establishing small local enterprises. ? Outcomes 2.1 and 3.1 will build the capacity of women and men small-holder producers in accessing markets and become active in ethic/green VC and certification market segments. ? Component 4 will develop national and sub-national capacities to collect and analyze age and sex disaggregated data on rural labour linked to ILMP interventions. Pillar 2: Social protection ? Learning programmes under Outcome 2.1 and Outcome 3.1 will train practitioners on occupational safety and health measures for the rural workforce applying ER/SLM/SFM/GVC technologies. ? Producer organizations, enterprises and buyer companies supported by PPP inclusive agribusiness agreements and VC platforms under Component 3 will enhance their social corporate responsibility. ? Procurement investments in each district will include social support for emergency or distress situations, targeting community needs beyond the ER/SLM/SFM/GVC priorities. The provision of this support indirectly delivers ER/SLM/SFM/GVC because it helps remove social barriers that may prevent community members to invest in and apply responsible tenure governance of SNRM. Pillar 3: Standards and rights at work ? Community bylaw formulation, fair access to training, extension and investments on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC technologies, infrastructure, equipment and inputs will help reduce gender and age-based discrimination in the target landscapes. ? The project will ensure compliance with the National Labour Legislation, that has ratified all key international conventions concerning child labour. the Project will collaborate with governmental inspectors, UNICEF and ILO to carry out targeted child labour inspections in the three target landscapes, with the active involvement of local leaders, and representatives from church, government, NGOs, employers’ and workers’ organizations. Pillar 4: Governance and social dialogue ? Component 1 will ensure representation of the rural poor in policy dialogue through awareness raising, training and bylaw formulation on gender-inclusive land tenure and natural resource governance issues. ? The project will ensure in Component 1 fair, and effective participation of the rural poor in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the ILMP/PIA and COBA/RAG plans. ? Components 2 and 3 will put especial focus on capacity enhancement activities for women and youth groups to empower them in ER/SLM/SFM/GVC. [1] See Table 1.3 of Section 1 of this report.

General

This is a cooperation with the United Nations Human Settlement Programme. UN-Habitat was established in 1978 as an outcome of the First UN Conference on Human Settlements and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat I) in 1976. It is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to promote socially-, environmentally- and economically- sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. It is a member of the United Nations Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG), a consortium of 36 UN funds, programs, specialized agencies, departments and offices that play a role in development. The normative-operational mandate of UN-Habitat derives from the Habitat Agenda, adopted by the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) in 1996 and renewed in 2016 (Habitat III). The twin goals of the Habitat Agenda are adequate shelter for all and the development of sustainable human settlements in an urbanizing world. UN-Habitat's mission is to advance sustainable urbanization as a driver of development and peace to improve living conditions for all. The agency is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, with four main regional offices covering Africa, the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. UN-Habitat also has liaison and information offices in New York, Brussels, Beijing, Moscow and Geneva and project offices in 76 countries across the world. As part of its comparative advantage, UN-Habitat is able to directly engage and sign agreements with sub-national entities (cities, local and regional governments), not just national governments which is the usual case for UN entities. Through this Program Cooperation Agreement (PCA), Sida will continue to focus its support on UN-Habitat's core programmatic mandate by aligning to the agency's 4-year Strategic Plan 2020-2025 and ongoing institutional reform initiatives. This PCA has a total budget of SEK 277 million, and is proposed to be organised into 3 components where funds will be soft-earmarked as follows: Component 1: Soft-earmarked funding to selected domains of change/subprogrammes and result areas of the Strategic Plan 2020-2025, and the implementation of UN-Habitat's organisational reform. These domains of change are: 1. Reduced spatial inequality and poverty in communities across the urban-rural continuum. 2. Enhanced shared prosperity for cities and regions. 3. Strengthened climate action and improved urban environment. 4. Effective urban crisis prevention and response. Component 2: Funding to the area of land ownership and tenure rights in least-developed countries, including post-conflict. This allocation to be managed through the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), a program of UN-Habitat. Component 3: Funding to UN-Habitat's COVID-response and rehabilitation strategy during June 2020 to May 2021.

Objectives

UN-Habitat är FN:s organ för boende, bebyggelse och hållbar stadsutveckling och ska på uppdrag från FN:s Generalförsamling främja socialt, ekonomisk och miljömässigt hållbara städer med målet att tillhandahålla adekvat boende för alla. UN-Habitats vision är "En bättre livskvalitet för alla i en urbaniserad värld. UN-Habitat har ett normativt mandat men är också en organisation med operativ verksamhet som genomför program och projekt. UN-Habitat är exempelvis ansvarig för stadsfrågorna inom FN-systemet och arbetar för att göra städer och bosättningar inkluderande, säkra, motståndskraftiga och hållbara, bland annat som förvaltare av det globala målet om hållbara städer och samhällen (SDG11) samt som fokalt organ för genomförandet av New Urban Agenda (NUA). Det övergripande syftet med insatsen är att stödja genomförandet av UN-Habitats strategiska plan (SP) 2020-2023. SP ger en detaljerad analys av hur hållbar urbanisering kopplar till och bidrar till att uppnå en övergripande hållbar utveckling. SP tydliggör också UN-Habitats åtagande och strategi för hur organisationen, med hjälp av sitt normativa/operativa mandat och sin roll inom FN-systemet, ska bidra till Agenda 2030 och målen för hållbar utveckling, Parisavtalet, Sendai-ramverket och andra globala utvecklingsagendor såsom genomförandet av "New Urban Agenda" (NUA). SP tar särskilt upp löftet i Agenda 2030 "att inte lämna någon utanför". Det övergripande målet för UN-Habitats strategiska plan 2020-2023 är att främja hållbar urbanisering som en drivkraft för utveckling och fred för att förbättra levnadsvillkoren för alla (Sustainable urbanisation is advanced as a driver of development and peace, to improve living conditions for all in line with the SDGs.). För att uppnå huvudmålet har UN-Habitat formulerat fyra sammanlänkade resultatområden (Domains of Change); 1. Minskad ojämlikhet och fattigdom i samhällen och städer. (Reduced spatial inequality and poverty in communities across the urban-rural continuum) - Ökad och lika tillgång till grundläggande tjänster, hållbar mobilitet och till offentliga platser. - Ökad och säker tillgång till mark samt säkra och ekonomiskt överkomliga bostäder. - Effektiv bosättningstillväxt och förnyelse. 2. Ökad fördelning av välstånd i städer och regioner.(Enhanced shared prosperity of cities and regions) - Förbättrade förbindelser och produktivitet i städer och regioner. - Ökade och rättvist fördelade lokalt genererade intäkter. - Utökad användning av ny teknik och innovationer för stadsutveckling. 3. Stärkt hantering av klimatförändringar och förbättrad stadsmiljö. (Strengthened climate action and improved urban environment) - Minskade utsläpp av växthusgaser och förbättrad luftkvalitet. - Förbättrad resurseffektivitet och skydd av ekologiska tillgångar. - Effektiv anpassning av samhällen och infrastruktur till klimatförändringar. 4. Effektivt förebyggande och hantering av kriser och katastrofer i urbana områden. (Effective urban crisis prevention and response) - Ökad social sammanhållning och inkluderande planering för konfliktförebyggande och återuppbyggnad. - Förbättrad levnadsstandard och inkludering av migranter, flyktingar, internflyktingar och återvändande genom effektiv krishantering och återuppbyggnad. - Ökad resiliens av bebyggd miljö och infrastruktur. Under UN-Habitatstödet ingår också en komponent med specifikt stöd till Global Land Tool Network (GLTN). Komponenten finansieras och handläggs av enheten för global ekonomisk hållbar utveckling (GLOBEC). En kort analys av GLTN-komponenten kommer att ingå under denna sammanfattande resultatuppdatering, som görs av ansvarig handläggare från GLOBEC. GLTN rapporterar resultat under fyra övergripande målområden: 1. En accelerad marksektorsreform i organisationer, regioner och länder ("Reform of the land sector accelerated across organizations regions and countries") - Stärkta internationella och nationella markpolicyer, program och praxis -Stärkt internationell och nationell koordinering av marksektorn - Ökad kunskap hos internationella och nationella markaktörer om viktiga markrättighetsfrågor och möjlig lösningar, och deras koppling till bredare utvecklingsresultat 2. Inkluderande, jämställda och ändamålsenliga markrättighetsmetoder och tillvägagångssätt som institutionaliserats av internationella och nationella markaktörer för att stärka och ytterliga skydda markrättigheter ("Inclusive, gender responsive and fit-for-purpuse land tools and approaches instituzionalised by international and national land actors to scale up tenure security interventions") - Prioriterade markrättighetsmetoder för kvinnor, unga och sårbara grupper utvecklas och implementeras - Ökad kapacitet hos internationella och nationella markaktörer för att främja och implementera ändmålsenliga markrättighetsmetoder 3. Förbättrad uppföljning av åtaganden kopplade till markrättigheter för ändamålsenlig planering och politiska beslut("Improved monitoring of land-related commitments for planning and policy decisions") - Förbättrade metoder för uppföljning av markrättigheter på nationell nivå - Förbättrad kapacitet för att samla in och analysera data för relevanta nationella och internationella landorgansationer - Etablering av en globala mekanism för säkrade markrättigheter 4. Kapacitet, kunskap och resurser om marksäkerhet delas och utvecklas mellan internationella och nationella aktörer Capacities, knowledge and resources on land tenure security shared and developed among international and national actors ("Capacities, knowledge and resources on land tenure security shared and developed among international and national actors") - Etablering av effektiva samarbetsmekanismer för program utveckling och implementering - Etabelerade och förbättrade kunskapsplattformar -Stärkt partnerkapacitet för att sprida kunskap och medvetenhet om GLTNs arbete till andra internationella och nationella partners. 2021: The overall aim of the intervention is to support the implementation of UN-Habitat's Strategic Plan for 2020-2023, which was approved and adopted by Member States in May 2019 during the first session of the UN-Habitat Assembly, the organization's main decision-making body. This document provides a detailed analysis of how sustainable urbanization links directly to, and helps achieve, overall sustainable development. It is also a commitment and strategy for how the agency, using its normative/operational mandate and focal point role, will contribute to Agenda 2030 and SDGs, the Paris Agreement, the Sendai framework and other global development agendas, and will accelerated progress in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda (NUA). It particularly addresses the pledge in the 2030 Agenda "to leave no one behind". The overall vision is "A better quality of life for all in an urbanizing world". The mission is that "UN-Habitat promotes transformative change in cities and human settlements through knowledge, policy advice, technical assistance and collaborative action to leave no one and no place behind." The overall strategic objective is "Sustainable urbanization is advanced as a driver of development and peace , to improve living conditions for all." A host of persistent and new development problems have been identified by this intervention, including extreme poverty, socioeconomic inequality, slums, social exclusion and marginalization, gender-based discrimination, humanitarian crises, conflict, air pollution, climate change and high unemployment, all of which are increasingly concentrated in urban areas. At the end of the intervention, UN-Habitat intends to realise the following changes: 1. Reduced spatial inequality and poverty in communities across the urban-rural continuum (Domain of Change 1) through - Increased and equal access to basic services, sustainable mobility, and public space;  - Increased and secure access to land, and adequate and affordable housing; and - Effective settlements growth and regeneration. 2. Enhanced shared prosperity for cities and regions (Domain of Change 2) through - Improved spatial connectivity and productivity of cities and regions; - Increased and equitably distributed locally generated revenues; and - Expanded deployment of frontier technologies and innovations for urban development. 3. Strengthened climate action and improved urban environment (Domain of Change 3) through - Reduced greenhouse emissions and improved air quality; - Improved resource efficiency and protection of ecological assets; and - Effective adaptation of communities and infrastructure to climate change. 4. Effective urban crisis prevention and response (Domain of Change 4) through - Enhanced social cohesion and inclusive planning for conflict prevention and recovery; - Improved living standards and inclusion of migrants, refugees, internally displaced persons and returnees through effective crisis response and recovery; and - Enhanced resilience of the built environment and infrastructure. The cross-cutting thematic areas are: Resilience and Safety. The social inclusion issues are: Human rights; Gender; Children, youth, and older persons; and Disability. An additional organisational outcome is UN-Habitat as a global Centre of Excellence and Innovation for urbanisation issues. UN-Habitat aspires to increase its presence as a global actor in "setting the global discourse and agenda on sustainable urban development, driving political discussion, generating specialised and cutting-edge knowledge, shaping technical norms, principles and standards, and acting as a multiplier in the exchange of knowledge, experience and best practice in getting cities and other human settlements right". Working through the urban spectrum assumes that UN-Habitat will engage with, affect and impact on a very broad range of actors. UN-Habitat has what is known as Habitat Agenda Partners (HAPs) which groups stakeholders around 15 different partner constituency groups and facilitate engagement at policy, strategy, program and project levels. In a sense, all will benefit from the successful implementation of the strategic plan. However, the main stakeholders whose situation will improve for the better if the program outcomes are achieved, and who will benefit from access to norms, tools and increased capacity development are primarily: national governments, local and sub-national authorities, civil society organisations, grassroot organisations (including organised groups of the urban poor), and urban communities, particularly their women, children and youth. In addition to the support to the Strategic Plan, the Sida PCA will have two more specific components: Support to land rights and secure tenure issues, implemented through the Global Land Tool Network program GLTN was formed by UN-Habitat and a network of partners in 2006, with seed and development funding from Sweden and Norway. The objective is to overcome the challenges and obstacles in delivering land tenure security at scale and to fill critical gaps in land governance and administration approaches, tools and systems. Today, GLTN is a UN-Habitat program that provides a dynamic multi-stakeholder alliance of more than 85 land institutions and actors committed to increasing access to land and tenure security for all, with a focus on the poor and women. GLTN uses an inclusive approach to the development of land tools, builds knowledge on land tenure and broader development outcomes, and develops the capacity of land actors to use the tools. GLTN has a program strategy for 2018-2030 and is implementing its 3rd phase during 2019-2023. The program objective - "improved tenure security" - directly contributes to all domains of change in the UN-Habitat strategic plan, and specifically the outcome area on "Increased and secure access to land and adequate and affordable housing". Through this PCA, Sida intends to continue to support GLTN core program activities which will help enable scaling up its work at country level. In addition to delivering improved land tenure in countries such as Zambia, Uganda, DRC, Nepal, etc., GLTN has contributed to greater consistency in the use of land tenure concepts and approaches by the international land community. It is contributing to monitoring 12 indicators of the SDGs related to land, land indicators of the NUA, and in pursuance of the guidance note of the UN Secretary-General on land and conflict. Support to UN-Habitat's COVID-19 Response Plan UN-Habitat recently shared its COVID-19 Response Plan with Member States and a range of partners as well as launched its COVID-19 Campaign. The response plan focuses on three main thematic areas of action: i) supporting local governments and community-driven solutions in informal settlements; ii) providing urban data mapping and knowledge for informed, evidence-based, decision-making, and iii) mitigating economic impact and initiating recovery and longer term policy change to build greater resilience. Sida assesses that UN-Habitat's planning and development approach will complement the humanitarian activities of other actors. At the moment, many humanitarian actors are unable to reach slum settlements or work with slum communities. UN-Habitat, together with its local networks, will facilitate the inclusion of slums in city-level responses. The PCA with UN-Habitat is relevant to the Swedish strategy for globally sustainable environment, climate and oceans 2018-2022. It will contribute to the specific outcome areas on "Environmentally sustainable cities and communities" and "Increased access to basic social services and housing for people living in poverty in urban areas". The PCA is also relevant to the Swedish strategy for global development cooperation on sustainable economic development 2018 2022, specifically the outcome areas on "Strengthened ownership and tenure rights for land and natural resources", "Strengthened women's economic empowerment"and "More effective domestic resource mobilization, increased financial stability and counteracting corruption".
