285. Section 1.7 details the benefits in terms of environmental, economic and social sustainability. Benefits can also be organized by geographical scale, with positive socio-economic impacts at local, regional, national and other dry forest levels. 286. Committees for dry forest conservation governance, restoration and monitoring and/or integrated natural resource management will be consolidated at regional and local levels and green jobs will be created and incomes will be increased and diversified. The improvement of productive and management capacities for articulation in value chains, as well as more sustainable territorial and resource management, including protected areas that provide ecosystem services, will contribute to the improvement and sustainability of the livelihoods of men and women, mainly indigenous, who depend on forest ecosystems in the project's direct area of intervention. By expanding the range of livelihood options, in terms of the variety of resources harvested and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, as well as contributing to the improvement of economic income per unit area managed, it will contribute to food security and strengthen their capacity to adapt to climate change. 287. At the national level, and in other dry forest areas, the project will build lessons and improve the tools and capacities of decision-makers and other stakeholders for land and biodiversity management, in order to replicate sustainable biodiversity management models and financial mechanisms for the restoration, conservation and sustainable use of ecosystem services in other dry forest landscapes, which in turn provide benefits to the local population. 288. At the local, regional and national level, these benefits are related to the protection, better management of protected areas, forests of high conservation value, land restoration and reduction of GHG emissions, which will translate to reduced effects of climate change on vulnerable populations, reduced deforestation and land degradation, as well as reduced species extinction and reduced flow of ecosystem services in the dry forest. 289. The project will strengthen cooperation for the valuation and conservation of biodiversity and effective governance in the use of natural resources. It will also contribute to international and national agreements aimed at ensuring healthy and functional ecosystems. The project will protect and restore a source of biodiversity and climate change mitigation that also contributes to degradation neutrality goals, with economic, social and environmental benefits at all levels. 290. In the area of dry forests, the Project will be the opportunity to generate a broad institutional dialogue on the Integrated Management of Natural Resources, with emphasis on this ecosystem and other associated ecosystems, with the purpose of building a territorial management proposal that enhances sectoral intervention in the promotion of conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, thus contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of citizens and the interventions of the sector at national, regional and/or local level.

Target Groups
The socio-economic benefits in the project will be observed at the individual (household level) as well as at the collective community level for economic groups like farmers, industrial plantation and forest concession groups as follows: At least 5,000 people in the target landscapes will directly benefit through improved livelihoods and incomes (15% increase), of which an estimated 50% would be women; As a result of initiatives on improved forest and riparian conservation activities and environmental practices in plantation lands, additional people living in and around the target sites will indirectly benefit from improved and sustainable land management, reduced erosion and water flows; Testing of new in-situ –ex-situ conservation efforts offer opportunity for enhancing conservation and ecological values of the forests; Implementation of strategies and mainstreaming of biodiversity conservation in plantation areas will result into sustainable practices on plantation, agriculture, water conservation, value chain products and services. This will collectively result in better conservation and livelihoods outcomes; Improved access to basic goods and technical services, technology and improved agricultural, forestry and tourism practices, as well as diversification of livelihoods in agriculture and non-farm sector including tourism and agri-based products will ensure more livelihood options and better prices and income; Enhanced certification through international third party would improve markets for plantation products in the competitive global markets thus helping enhance the health of the plantations and benefits to estate communities; The focus on addressing gender inequality wherein various initiatives such as technological interventions for drudgery reduction in livelihood and household-based activities, promotion of alternative livelihood options, participation of women in various local conservation committees are proposed. The project envisages more gender equality in context of sex ratio, decision making powers, ownership and control on resources and women leadership as well as participation; A reduction in the human-wildlife conflicts and increase in effective implementation of sustainable practices. The project expects a decrease in human-wildlife conflict in the three pilot corridor areas; Incremental funding through new financial solutions will improve conservation outcomes, protect critical biodiversity hotspots and provide for improved and diversified livelihoods and incomes and a sustainability of such investments beyond the life of the project; Advancement of multi-cropping systems (including agroforestry) in degraded plantation and small holder lands will enhance species diversity, improve water retention and reduce soil erosion and hence enhance the productivity of the land; and Stable or improved populations of key endangered species and improved forest environments will greatly enhance visitor experiences for increasing potential for ecotourism and community financial benefit.

Target Groups
Sustainable agriculture and forestry can help farmers to realize short-term and long-term economic benefits. According to the FAO, there is a direct positive correlation between growth in agriculture and the eradication of hunger and poverty.Agriculture is on average twice as effective in reducing poverty as non-agriculture sectors, and five times more effective than other sectors in resource poor low-income countries.However, the current trajectory of growth in agriculture is unsustainable and the negative environmental impacts from agriculture could increase 50-90% by 2050. To reverse this trajectory, there is a need for more investment into sustainable agriculture. This investment is crucial to increasing food production to meet growing demand, improving the access of vulnerable people to food, and by stabilizing markets so that prices are affordable for consumers and remunerative for producers.Investments in agriculture can improve the resilience of rural incomes and livelihoods by addressing climate change, conserving natural resources and facilitating the transition to sustainable agriculture. A key component of the Fund is improving rural livelihoods and farmers are the ultimate beneficiaries of all transactions related to the Fund. Each transaction should have a strong focus on improving rural livelihoods and the project’s Result Framework specifies that at least 300,000 farmers and farm workers will be trained in sustainable forest management and sustainable agricultural practices. The Fund will help transition farmers to climate-smart agricultural practices which helps to address the interconnected challenges of climate change and food security. Climate-smart agriculture can help increase productivity (e.g., from improved water and soil conservation), it can help enhance farmer resilience (e.g., via agricultural practices to reduce vulnerability to drought, pests, diseases and other climate-related shocks) and reduce emissions (e.g., increasing carbon sequestration through improved soil health and avoiding deforestation).Through this model the Fund is aiming to achieve the following key outcome targets over twenty years. These targets are all based on average figures from six selected case studies, and multiplying this average by AGRI3’s targeted number of transactions (see Appendix XVIII for more details):87,000 hectares of degraded land restored (contributing to GEF Core Indicator 3.1)41,000 hectares of forest under improved management (contributing to GEF Core Indicator 4.1)700,000 hectares of agricultural lands under sustainable management (contributing to GEF Core Indicator 4.3)18,400,000 tCO2eq of carbon emissions avoided/ sequestered (Over 20 years - contributing to GEF Core Indicator 6.1) 300,000 farmers and farm workers trained, 30% of whom are female(contributing to GEF Core Indicator 11).

Target Groups
1. Under the project model, the delivery of improved global environmental benefits (in terms of biodiversity, climate change mitigation and sustainable land management) will be inextricably accompanied by socioeconomic co-benefits including the following: - Improved farmer incomes: in line with the target of the National Agricultural Development Plan (RKVY) to increase farmers’ incomes by 4% between 2016 and 2023, the project will improve farmers’ access to favourable markets for their products by: strengthening value chain linkages (through the Green Value Chain Development Cell, Output 2.2.1); enhancing their capacities for compliance with environmental sustainability criteria, such as those set out in the SRP Standard and third-party certification schemes (Output 2.2.3); and supporting complementary income generation options under Output 3.1.3. - Improved resilience to the volatility in economic and food systems at regional and global levels: the kinds of diversified production systems that are required to optimize GEBs also typically contribute to the resilience of farm families’ food security and livelihoods; - Improved resilience to the effects of climate change: diversified production systems capable of yielding GEBs are also typically climate-resilient, given that they contain a wide range of alternative crops and varieties and tend to foster stable micro-climates capable of buffering variations in temperature and humidity. - Improved nutritional quality: sustainable diversification away from high-yielding varieties (HYV) of rice and wheat to, for example, traditional varieties of rice, as well as other crops including vegetables, pulses and millets, will increase the availability of nutritious food both among the farmers themselves and among downstream consumers. As a co-benefit of the project, this will help to address the problems of overnutrition (and its associated health impacts including obesity and diabetes), undernutrition and anemia, which affect a significant proportion of the country’s population.

Other
Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.
Target Groups
Improved management of forest, grasslands and marine ecosystems will generate a range of socio-economic benefits including contributions to enhanced food security and livelihoods across the set of ICI subprojects. Habitat conservation will also contribute to maintenance of key environmental provisioning services for a range of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and other nature-based products. ICI grants will support activities that unlock or generate the financial resources IPLCs need to sustain their livelihoods and roles as environmental stewards. Depending on the particular subproject, this may include income-generating sustainable production activities (e.g. niche natural food products, improved livestock management, ecotourism) or innovative and culturally appropriate financing mechanisms such as IPLC trust funds and payments for ecosystem services. Several suproject EOIs indicated interest in developing community funds and other benefit-sharing mechanisms, as well as savings and credit groups. Other illustrative measures include targeted assistance to small and medium IPLC enterprises for enterprise development and to connect owners to mainstream financing. Activities will include a focus on women’s economic empowerment, and be oriented to benefit IPLC women and men through long-term approaches that enable self-determined land and resource governance and help reduce dependence on external donor support. A crucial aspect of socioeconomic benefits under the ICI will be cultural benefits. Several subproject EOIs indicated interest in recording and disseminating traditional knowledge, ranging from resource management practices to food production to customary rites. Documenting customary land use and land rights, as well as efforts focused on language preservation also reflect important cultural benefits. Some subprojects may consider mapping sites of current and archaeological cultural significance, as an input into designing suitable management arrangements. Finally, intergenerational cultural benefits are anticipated from efforts to disseminate traditional skills and knowledge (e.g. medicines, handicrafts, rites and language) to youth. Detailed plans, metrics, targets and M&E provisions with respect to cultural benefits will be elaborated in each subproject Impact Strategy. Specific on-the-ground activities to generate socioeconomic benefits will be determined during the first phase of implementation, through the preparation of Impact Strategies for each subproject (Output 1.1.2). Although the final sets of activities and their details cannot be determined before inclusive participatory planning processes are complete (including feasibility assessment, value chain analysis, etc.), the EOIs submitted by the selected subprojects anticipate the following indicative types of activities and benefits (see ProDoc Appendix X for a complete listing): Annapurna Conservation Area · Develop IPLC-based green enterprises · Promote Payments for Ecosystem Services · Identify diversified financial mechanisms, benefit-sharing mechanism on ACA revenues established and economic measures implemented to enhance economic resilience of IPLCs. DR Congo · Mapping of traditional areas of IPLCs · Reinforce legal status of IPLC claims to traditional territories · Develop strategies to strengthen socioeconomic resilience · Income generating activities based on sustainable management of biodiversity (e.g. NTFPs, artisanal products, agriculture, local tourism) Ewaso Ng’iro River Basin · Support legal recognition for community land and registering community conservancies · Develop management plan for pastoralist community governance of land and resources, including community benefits. · Create a Knowledge Centre to ensure intergenerational flow of knowledge and share knowledge with other stakeholders Futa Mawiza Biocultural Territory · Elaborate community plans and projects to protect territory · Investment in projects prioritized by each community (e.g. tourism, ecological production, food sovereignty, inventory and safeguarding of seeds) · Implement projects to strengthen conservation of the Futa Mawiza territory (e.g. tourism network, exchange networks) Lau Seascape and Cook Islands · Document cultural knowledge and heritage of IPLC · Develop toolkit to support islanders in applying traditional food production practices · Strengthen financial and project management capacity of IPLCs Northern Tanzania · Train and coach village councils and CBO’s in management and use of community funds generated by carbon offset sales · Train and coach savings and credit groups targeting women and youth · Develop sustainable natural resource-based income generating activities (e.g., beekeeping, traditional medicine, livestock fattening) Ru K'ux Abya Yala · Develop indigenous territorial management plans · Market added value products from indigenous enterprises · Strengthen technical and administrative capacity in community enterprises Southern Amazon · Documentation, mapping and demarcation of ancestral lands · Document and promote traditional knowledge and practices to ensure food sovereignty, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity loss · Invest in sustainable community livelihoods Thailand · Prepare land-use maps based on traditional customs/knowledge, and support sound practices for resource, water, forest and fire management, as well as food security · Promote sustainable nature-based livelihoods (e.g. bee keeping, eco-tourism, handicrafts and animal raising)

238. The project direct beneficiaries are 15000 people from the project intervention area, of which 7500 are women and 7500 are men. They will benefit through the development of project actions as a whole (benefited by different instruments of integrated territorial planning with a ISMBF approach, because of the implementation of SLM and SFM practices at a landscape level, for the formation and strengthening of CEOs, for the strengthening of capacities at different levels, among others). 239. The integrated and multiscale approach will contribute to the strengthening of governance and capacities in ISMBF, the escalation of SFM and SLM and will allow for the construction of a common vision in the ISMBF with the goal to promote its incorporation into integrated territorial planning as a contribution to achieving the national goals of LDN. The project’s approach will help decrease the deforestation and degradation of land through the implementation of territorial management strategies and sustainable production systems in the dry and sub-humid (agro) ecosystems of the Bolivian Chaco. The participating institutions will coordinate the implementation of the ISMBF that are best suited to address the loss of environmental functions and land degradation processes in the project intervention area. The restauration, the SFM and the SLM will contribute to reduce food and nutritional insecurity, strengthen and diversify livelihoods with gender and generational equity and will increase socioecological resiliency to climate change. The actions will be carried out in a participatory manner, promoting the involvement of indigenous peoples, local communities, small farm holders, local authorities, among others, throughout the different stages of the project. In the context of strengthening governance, the project seeks to generate a proposal with the GAIOC Charagua to co-management protected areas and their zones of influence in order to halt the intense processes of biodiversity loss and land degradation. 240. Another contribution at the institutional level is related to the generation and strengthening of knowledge for the follow-up of the LDN, Aichi and NDC targets. In this context, the project will contribute to these national efforts 1) The project will contribute to generating global environmental benefits, the social-economic and environmental sustainability of local communities, and strengthening capacities at different levels: 1) 250000 ha of protected areas managed within the framework of comprehensive territorial planning; 2) 1200 ha of degraded agricultural land in the process of being restored; 3) 100000 ha of landscapes under improved management for the benefit of biodiversity; 4) 6000 ha of forest and other types of vegetation using the ISMBF productive landscapes approach, and 2000 ha with improved environmental functions through the implementation of the ISMBF; 5) at least 15000 direct beneficiaries with strengthened capacities through the territorial planning process, implementing SLM, SFM and integrating them into governance within the framework of the ISMBF (7500 men and 7500 women). 2) By developing project components and strengthening beneficiary capacities, benefits will be generated at the local, regional and national levels in terms of livelihoods, environmental sustainability, progress towards LDN in the region of El Chaco, among other benefits. From an environmental point of view, this will have a positive impact on conserving and maintaining environmental functions; improving cultural and identity values; benefits to the local economy through the sale of products obtained in the ISMBF by strengthening and generating CEOs, which will also allow for the creation of jobs, productive diversification, the endowment of added value to agrobiodiversity products, improved income, etc. 3) The project will promote Decent Rural Employment by developing actions framed in the four pillars of decent employment established by the FAO (Table 8) Pillars Related project activities Specific project actions 1. 1.

Integrated management of Cameroon’s forest landscapes in the Congo Basin
Objectives
The project’s objective is to strengthen the integrated management of Cameroon’s globally important forest landscapes in the Congo Basin to secure its biological integrity and increase economic and livelihood opportunities for forest dependent people.
Other
Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.
Target Groups
The project will strengthen the governance and management frameworks for forest management in the Cameroon segments of 3 landscapes, with interventions that are anticipated to deliver socioeconomic benefits in 7 targeted councils or municipalities. These landscapes are multi-use systems that are essential to the culture, food security and livelihoods of forest-dwelling IPLCs who live within them. The ecosystems of the landscapes are also vital to residents of the landscapes, and people beyond, for numerous provisioning, regulation, cultural and supporting services they provide. The project will generate socio-economic benefits by maintaining and enhancing the resource base on which IPLCs in the southern forest belt of Cameroon rely. It will directly address competing demands on this resource base by progressing informed and inclusive land use planning in the councils of Ngoyla and Mintom, thereby helping to secure the access rights of IPLCs to critical resources and serving as an important learning opportunity for how access rights can be formally recognized and respected through the national land use planning framework. In all three of the targets landscapes the project will also support IPLCs in establishing modern and sustainable value chains for NTFPs, including through agreements with private sector operators. Simultaneously, the project will strengthen the development of an ecotourism value chain that engages IPLCs and the private sector in the Cameroon segment of the CMRC landscape. Furthermore, the project will support the establishment of a sustainable and socially-responsible value chain for ebony in Cameroon segment of the TRIDOM landscape. In addition to directly increasing income generation for target stakeholders, the Ebony Project will be used to develop recommendations on establishing models of public-private partnerships involving IPLCs. Each of these efforts aim to realize socio-economic benefits for rightsholders, while incentivizing them to manage their resources sustainably. As such, the project, will work to increase productive and sustainable employment for IPLCs in rural forest areas. The project seeks to achieve a 10% increase in income from enhanced value chains and public-private partnerships for at least 450 people (of which at least 50% women).

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.
Target Groups
The project, in particular through its Component 2, aims at supporting local resource users and the relevant county organizations to establish sustainable agricultural practices that target improved livelihoods, ecosystem resilience as well as related land use planning approaches. Involving local stakeholders and decision makers in catchment restoration and land use planning increases their appreciation of the direct interactions between water management, agricultural production and ecosystem services; supporting increased supply of natural resources for the benefit of both the users and the catchment itself. Engaging private companies in upstream catchment management aims to improve food value chains, e.g. through longer-term horticulture contracts for export markets such as green beans, avocados, potatoes and other vegetables, leading to increased profits and improved livelihoods. These in turn provide further incentives for locally engaging in sustainable catchment management. In Component 2, the project commits to delivering socio-economic benefits to the local resource users through ? Climate smart food value chains benefitting 5,000 households (22,500 persons); and ? A 20% increase in farm production yields The project will promote labor saving technologies for the activities performed by women for marketable commodities as well as for household tasks such as water or fuel supply and food preparation. The technologies include solar cookers, rainwater harvesting, woodlots, water spring protection, and energy efficient stoves, among others. The project will also promote backyard gardens for food and nutrition security as well as conduct nutrition messaging to accompany any training at community level. Women groups will be encouraged to participate in livelihood value chain activities to earn income e.g. on beekeeping, or fruit tree management. Further indirect socio-economic benefits can be derived from the improved ecosystem status in the targeted catchments, including through improved water quality and quantity, wetland and forest restoration. The combination of biophysical and agricultural techniques and support for water management is expected to lead to diversified production and increased yields through improved soil retention; broadened adaptation potential and resilience through reduced erosion upstream, as well as at least stabilized catchment ecosystem services. Downstream economic benefits will include reduced water treatment costs through reduced sediment concentration and increased hydropower generation through higher water yield and reduced sedimentation. The Water Fund to be established will perpetuate the incentivization of integrated catchment management, leading to local and global environmental as well as local socio-economic benefits, both up- and downstream. Among the global environmental benefits are: ? Maintenance or improvement of the sustainable delivery of ecosystem services; ? Maintenance or improvement of land and soil productivity, in order to enhance food security; ? Synergies with other social, economic and environmental objectives, reinforcing responsible, inclusive and sustainable land management. The socioeconomic benefits to be delivered by the project and the EIWF are also closely aligned with Aichi Target 4 […] governments, business and stakeholders at all levels have taken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and consumption […], Aichi Target 7: […] areas under agriculture, aquaculture and forestry are managed sustainably, ensuring conservation of biodiversity, Aichi Target 11: […] terrestrial and inland water […] areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes […], as well as Aichi Target 14: […] ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being, are restored and safeguarded […].

Target Groups
This project will ultimately contribute to enhanced ambitions in reducing GHG emissions. Improved coordination will generate synergies and avoid duplication across support initiatives and efforts, freeing resources for additional efforts in the global aim to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. Similarly, the enhanced availability of knowledge through a centralized coordination platform will help countries increase their transparency capacity and, as a result, their capacity to report progress on their NDCs and long-term policy planning, providing for increased ambition.In the area of climate change, the project will increase climate-related knowledge through improved GHG inventories and transparency frameworks and will disseminate good practice to developing countries, which will in turn allow them to undertake more robust mitigation activities. Furthermore, capacity improvements related to climate change adaptation and guidance on including robust adaptation goals in NDCs will generate adaptation-related benefits, but they may also generate benefits in other global environmental areas, such as biodiversity and land degradation through improved REDD+ capacity.
