Displaying 1581 - 1585 of 2117Urban Garden Agricultural in Haiti
General
The project will improve access to the utilization of urban land for small scale urban agricultural production as well as strengthen capacities among target beneficiaries and local partners on urban agriculture. The project will facilitate multi -development on urban agriculture through the OXFAM GB GROW campaign. This will eventually support the development of sustainable urban farming systems which will contribute to urban poverty alleviation and enhanced urban food security, social inclusion and empowerment of urban disadvantaged groups (Particularly women, children and people living with HIV /AIDS).
Frame Agreement with NGO (WWF Finland)
General
The aim of the programme is to conserve the mountain rainforests in Muller-Schwaner area in Borneo. The area is rich in biodiversity and home to many endemic species. Also thousands of people, including indigenous groups, live in the area. However, biodive rsity and local livelihoods are threatened by unsustainable development and infrastructure. Poor governance of natural resources is a direct and indirect cause of habitat, biodiversity, productivity loss by preventing or undermining enabling conditions and incentives for sustainable use. Deforestation, driven by timber logging and forest conversion to palm oil plantations, is one of the key challenges. Also mining is becoming an increasing problem in the area.The expected result of the programme is that an effective conservation management and equitable customary land-use are in place in Muller-Schwaner area. Improvement of land ownership of local communities and strengthening of the environmental legislation and governance principles are in the focus of our approach. At the same time we are influencing the companies working in the area to adopt sustainable approaches and strengthening of local livelihoods through green economy. These all factors reduce pressure on forests and support the long-term wellbeing of people and nature in the area.Beneficiaries: People living in the area, local district governments and local NGOs/CSOs.Implementor: WWF Indonesia (http://www.wwf.or.id/). Cooperation partners: Gunung Lumut Muller Foundation, Indigenous People Aliance (h ttp://www.aman.or.id/), SUAR Institute (http://www.suarmelawi.com), PRCF (People Resource Conservation Foundation) (http://www.prcfoundation.org), FASDA Sawit Lestari Sustainable Palm oil-Facilitator.
War Impact on Dryland Environments and Social-Ecological Resilience in Somalia (WIDER-SOMA)
General
Current wars are concentrated disproportionately in dryland regions yet little is known about their impacts and long-term socio-environmental consequences. The aim of this project is to understand the impacts of war on dryland environments and establish the foundations on which to build socio-ecological resilience to environmental degradation during- and post-conflict. We focus this proposal on Somalia, one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. Decades of internal conflict have directly and indirectly degraded Somalia's vulnerable dryland environment with deleterious impacts on its people, the majority of whom rely on the land for their livelihoods. This project will: 1) produce new multifaceted socio-environmental and historic datasets and analyses; and 2) build the interdisciplinary capacity and framework to understand the multiple dimensions of the land degradation problem and its causes. The long-term goal of this research is to convert this knowledge into sustainable land use in Somalia in partnership with local agencies and communities in the context of ongoing conflict.

OAK - Oxfam India Renewable energy for forest dwellers
General
The main objectives of this project are: 1) To increase tenurial security over forest land and governance of natural resources by the forest dwelling communities in at least 20% of the target villages (out of 96 villages) 2) At least 2 policies are strengthened on Community Forest Rights (CFR) management and address issues of land diversion. 3) To improve livelihoods of forest dependent communities by linking them to appropriate sustainable / renewable energy solutions in 6 villages Overview The current two -year programme is specially being designed with the above objectives to achieve the following outcomes • At least 20% of target villages have improved economic and social security through empowered community institutions and sustainable forest management • To influence government policies so that the existing legal provisions empowering communities to take decision on access and control over their resources are not diluted • Successfully demonstrated Renewable Energy (RE) based systems for domestic and productive purposes
Preserved ecosystems and improved livelihood conditions for rural communities in Liberia
General
GLA Country Context Analysis: Formal recognition of customary land ownership and security of tenure for the poor is a critical building block for inclusive and sustainable development. Since 2009, when Liberia enacted the Community Rights Law with Respect to Forest Lands that paved the way for communities to formalize their ownership claims to their customary forestlands, community rights with respect to natural resources have gained a prominent place on the political agenda. The move towards formalizing customary land claims gained further momentum in 2013 with the adoption of a Land Rights Policy that promised formal recognition and legal protection for customary rights. The Land Rights Act, which could ‘seal the deal’ for communities has however been stalled in the Liberian Legislature since 2015.
Objectives
GLA Country Theory of Change 2016-2020: The GLA programme for Liberia proposes to increase the capacity of communities to resist destructive oil palm expansion and logging, increase the respect and recognition of tenure rights of local communities by government and concessionaires, and increase adherence to the full implementation of policies and laws in forest and land management. This will provide opportunity for working in Liberia to contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and improved livelihood conditions for rural communities in Liberia and specifically in the Sinoe landscape.
