"for the Climate and Land Use Alliance program"
General
"This grant will support the Climate and Land Use Alliance at ClimateWorks Foundation. The alliance’s mission is to realize the potential of forested and agricultural landscapes to mitigate climate change, benefit people, and protect the environment, primarily in Indonesia, Brazil, and Mesoamerica. Land use — from deforestation, land degradation, and the draining and burning of tropical peatlands to fertilizer application and rice and cattle production — is responsible for about 25 percent of human-related greenhouse gas emissions. More effective land use protects the climate by reducing carbon emissions and preserving nature’s vital carbon sinks. "

Mali Local Democratic Governance phase 3
General
Four INGOs led by Diakonia have submitted an application for the development intervention “Local Democratic Governance” (LDG), phase 3 in Mali during the period 2014-2017. The overall development intervention cost is approximately 76 MSEK. The intervention aims to improve inclusiveness and accountability of land governance and prevent conflict linked to land management in Mali. This will be achieved through the implementation of four components with the following results: 1) Improved performance of local land management arrangements; 2) Improved ownership of local government authorities in land and natural resources management; 3) Improved the performance of citizen control for accountability between stakeholders involved in land and natural resources management; 4) Improved sustainable use of agricultural land and other natural resources (forests, grazing, water). The four INGOs i.e Diakonia, Norwegian Church Aid, SNV and Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation will implement the intervention together with local Civil Society Organisations. The intervention is supported solely by Sweden and it is planned that the four INGOs will forward funds to their local partners.

UN Women Uganda 2016-2019
General
The Government of Uganda has made significant progress in developing legal frameworks, policies and programmes which respect, protect and promote human rights and empowerment of women and girls. Progress, however, often remains at the policy level with implementation on the ground lacking behind due to inadequate capacity or priority in government institutions. As a result, women in Uganda continue to be marginalized and experience discrimination in in all spheres of life. Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) constitutes another major obstacle to gender equality as well as to more overall development goals. Women have poor access to reproductive resources, and especially access to land and land tenure are areas of discrimination. Consequently, women struggle to access financial services including loans due to lack of collateral. Although 76% of Ugandan women are active in the labor market, women tend to concentrate in feminized occupations, clustering in low-value chains, part-time or informal employment. Violence against women and girls (VAWG) remains another main obstacle to the empowerment of women with the prevalence and social acceptance of VAWG consistently high. In addition, the link between WEE and VAWG is becoming increasingly apparent in Uganda. A great part of the violence reported at household level is economically motivated, with peaks around harvest periods. In response to the above situation analysis, the development intervention will provide core support to UN Women Uganda to implement the first three years (2016-2018) of its Strategic Note 2016-2020 with a total contribution of 66.5 M SEK (22 % of the total 5 year Strategic Note budget, 36% of the budget for the three years covered by the Agreement). In line with UN Women’s Global Strategic Plan, the development intervention targets six programmatic result areas: 1) Women lead and participate in decision making at all levels; 2) Women, especially the poorest and most excluded, are economically empowered and benefit from development, 3) Women and girls live a life free from violence, 4) Peace and security and humanitarian action are shaped by women’s leadership and participation, 5) Governance and national planning fully reflect accountability for gender equality commitments and priorities, and 6) Global normative and policy framework for gender equality and women’s empowerment strengthened and implemented. In addition, the development intervention has a seventh result area on organizational effectiveness and efficiency.
Objectives
The overall aim of the proposed development intervention is that “Women are empowered to lead, participate in, influence and contribute to national development.”To achieve this aim, the development intervention defines six result areas: 1) Women lead and participate in decision making at all levels. 2) Women, especially the poorest and most excluded, are economically empowered and benefit from development. 3) Women and girls live a life free from violence. 4) Peace and security and humanitarian action are shaped by women leadership and participation. 5) Governance and national planning fully reflect accountability for gender equality commitments and priorities. 6) Normative and policy framework for gender equality and women's empowerment strengthened and implemented.
The Tenure Facility 2018-2022
General
Reprogrammed funds to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 The proposed intervention is a core support of SEK 190 million 2018-2022 to The Tenure Facility (TF), of which SEK 130 million from the Strategy for Globally Sustainable Economic Development, and SEK 60 million from Strategy for Sustainable Environment, Climate, Oceans and Use of Natural Resources. The contribution is also highly relevant to the Strategy for Human Rights, Democratization and Rule of Law. In addition, the European Commission plans to channel EUR 7 million via Sida in a delegated cooperation agreement for core support. This support is planned for 2019-2021. The TF aims to secure land and forest rights for Indigenous peoples and local communities in the developing world by providing project support to the communities, civil society, and to some extent to governments. Government support and involvement is always required for a project to be accepted. This proposed intervention will be the first considerable direct support to this new organization. It has approximately the same annual amount as the previous phase, that was channeled through RRI. Thus far, it has received direct funding from the Ford Foundation, 3 MUSD in 2017 and 2018.Access to land and natural resources for rural poor is often based on customary tenure, which tends to be insecure due to a lack of political, legal and administrative recognition, and contradictions between the formal and informal systems. This leads to a situation of insecurity for these local communities that affects most aspects of life, such as access to and/or security of livelyhoods, including food, water, housing and source of income, political rights to participate in processes that concern the land you live on and the land you have used for generations, the social rights and traditions that relate to the community; how you take decisions, plan your production, etcetera. Collective tenure is often not considered in the legal systems, and insecure collective tenure often concerns forest. Therefore, both RRI and the TF have a focus on forest lands, although grazelands and agricultural lands also can be considered for support. Fortunately, the global advocacy over the last decades - by RRI and others - for the political and legal recognition of communal land rights for indigenous peoples (IPs) and local communities have resulted in considerable advances and adapted legal frameworks in many countries. However, all this leeway did not give secure tenure on the ground, since there is a void in implementation and in administrative recognition. The lack of implementation should not automatically be interpreted as a lack of political will or of resources – but often a lack of capacity, information and experience. It is a new field of work for government administration as well as for NGOs and communities. RRI concluded that a special focus on the practical aspects of implementation was needed. The TF offers the following kinds of support:Scale up implementation of land and forest tenure reform policies and legislation by:– Providing support to establish legitimate tenure rights in areas where traditional communal rights are not formally recognized– Providing support for community mapping, demarcation, and registration efforts– Strengthening the capacity of national organizations to provide land tenure related services to reach disadvantaged and vulnerable groups Enable governments and communities to test new models, strategies and approaches by:– Testing practical solutions to implementation challenges– Assisting governments and communities to overcome administrative obstacles to land rights recognition and titling– Building capacity of government agencies responsible for titling and protecting indigenous and community rights
Objectives
The Tenure Facility´s five-year Strategic Framework 2018 2022, committed to three overarching outcomes. Outcome 1: The land and forest rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities are made more secure by governments in targeted developing countries. Outcome 2: Practical approaches for implementing and scaling land and forest tenure reforms are distilled, shared and leveraged by practitioners, IPLCs, governments and other stakeholders. Outcome 3: The Tenure Facility continuously improves its operating model to meet Outcomes1 and 2 through increasingly efficient and effective means.
