Groundwater Resources for Lusaka and selected catchments
General
The TC project supports the Zambian government in the sustainable management of its water resources. Groundwater protection is hardly an integral part of planning activities in the water sector due to insufficient hydrogeological data, a lack of legal foundations, a lack of technical and institutional capacities and a not very pronounced awareness on the part of political decision-makers. The overall objective of the TC measure Groundwater Resources for Lusaka and Selected Catchment Areas is therefore: "Groundwater management and protection as integral components of national water resource management in Zambia are improved". Through the participatory production of planning tools, those responsible from politics, business and civil society are provided with sound knowledge about the availability, quality and need for protection of groundwater resources in selected pilot areas. By feeding this knowledge into urban and land use planning processes, and in particular into water use plans for river basins, groundwater issues as a whole, and protection aspects in particular, will be given greater consideration in key water resource management (WRM) strategies and policy documents. Furthermore, a functional groundwater department will be established in the newly founded Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA), which is responsible for WRM, as part of a complementary technical and process advisory service. This department is to take on tasks independently, including the determination of groundwater extraction rates and the assessment of groundwater quality, and to actively introduce groundwater-relevant topics into (urban) planning processes and policy-making in coordination with the WRMA departments.
Objectives
Groundwater management and protection as integral components of national water resource management in Zambia are improved
Multinational - Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in the Horn of Africa - Phase I
General
The Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Program - Project II is the second intervention in a long term Bank Programme to build communities’ resilience to drought and Climate Change, improve their livelihood and promote regional integration in the Horn of Africa. The Project will be implemented in a period of 5 years and its total cost is UA 81.667 million, of which UA 74.982 million is paid by the Bank and the remaining being the respective governments’ counterpart contributions.
Objectives
Project II aims to scale up the Program interventions in Ethiopia and extend it to Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan. The Project is expected to develop infrastructures for i) water mobilisation and management, and ii) livestock production, health and marketing. It will also build the capacity of the populations and Governments of the region to better cope with the effects of climate change, resources scarcity and conflicts related to resources utilisation. Ultimately, the project is expected to increase the income of agro-pastoralists through the improvement of the delivery of livestock related services (animal production and health, rangeland management, marketing, etc.) and the development of irrigation schemes leading to the improvement of livestock parameters (growth rate, carcass weight, milk production and offtake rate) and, the productivity/production of the main crops. The diversification of the sources of livelihood and the mobilization/conservation of water resources as envisioned by the project will reduce the vulnerability of the population to climate change shocks and exposure to inter/intracommunity conflicts that arise from competition over access to water sources for livestock.
Target Groups
An estimated 20 million agro-pastoralists affected by drought and land degradation will directly benefit from the project. Other direct beneficiaries include the Governments of the region whose capacities will be strengthened to enhance drought resilience development, natural resources management and shared benefits, and regional integration.
Support sustainable tourism through safeguarding, rehabilitation and promotion of the Agro-Cultural Landscape
General
After 1967, and in particular over the past two decades, this area witnessed the progressive establishment of several new settlements and their connecting infrastructure (i.e. roads, public service outputs), leading to the ‘enclavisation’ of the Battir area and surrounding villages (Hussan, Beit Jala and Wadi Fukin) and a new complex mobility system resulting from the separation of roads. Also, the recently constructed Separation Barrier that surrounds the Bethlehem urban area further isolates the Western Bethlehem Villages from the West Bank, the city of Bethlehem and even from each other. This situation has triggered a socio-economic crisis in the area characterized by agricultural livelihood decline (due to increasing transaction costs, poor market access for local products and expropriation of agricultural land), as well as reduced freshwater availability. This project has the double purpose of promoting sustainable tourism in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Battir through the rehabilitation and protection of its unique cultural landscape with millenary terrasses and irrigation system and to strengthen the sustainable production of agro-ecological varieties typical of the area, even from an economic standpoint, thanks to the efficient use of the natural resources of the area.
ResiLAND – Promoting resilience to climate change through planning, capacity development and integrated land
General
Overall objective: Contributing to the promotion of mechanisms to increase the capacity of planning and sustainable management of the territory and its resources so as to contrast climate change in the communities connected to the Nature Reserves in Lebanon. Specific objective: To ensure the conservation and sustainable management of the mountain ecosystems of the Shouf Biosphere Reserve, Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve and Mount Hermon Nature Reserve, in order to improve their capacity to provide essential benefits for a sustainable socio-economic development and biodiversity conservation.. Expected Result 1-The Shouf Biosphere Reserve, the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve and the Mount Hermon Nature Reserve are equipped with innovative management plans and guidelines, and their management entities are trained on planning, adoption and implementation of efficient and modern management measures, with a particular focus on adaptation to climate risks. Expected Result 2-2150 hectares of agro-forestry-pastoral land in the Shouf Reserves, Jabal Moussa and Mount Hermon are restored according to the priorities identified by the management plans, following the principles of "Forest Landscape Restoration" and "Land Degradation Neutrality" and based on existing good practices and experiences. Expected result 3-Incentives for renewable energy services in the Shouf and Jabal Moussa Reserves for the benefit of local public structures and small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the ecotourism, agribusiness and agri-tourism sectors, ensuring the sustainable management of natural capital and reducing traditional energy consumption.
