EC Land Rights for Liberia project
General
The overall objective of the project is to contribute to secure land tenure for poor and marginalised women and youth across 40 communities in Nimba, Lofa, Bong and Margibi counties in Liberia. To achieve this overall objective, two specific objectives have been developed: Specific Objective 1: To improve the system of land tenure and demarcation in favour of marginalised women and youth; Specific Objective 2: To promote land ownership for poor and marginalised women and youth using conflict-sensitive approaches. The project estimated results include: 1. Increased number of land with title deeds (community-led land demarcation) for women and youth; 2. Communities, in particular women and youth, are aware of their rights on land tenure and how to access the necessary services to legalise land possession; 3. Civil Society Organisations are better equipped to support communities on land rights issues; 4. A conflict sensitive approach is mainstreamed throughout formal and informal land entitlement proceedings.
A Pro-Small –scale Farmer Advocacy Campaign: “Fill My Basic Needs Basket”
General
This project seeks to conduct research on small-scale farmers in view of the changing land use in Kenya and Uganda and advocate for favourable policies to enhance food production and increased access to land for all. The project aims to take stock of the emerging trends in massive land dealings involving government-to-government, government to multinationals and local land grabbing to lease or sell that are mostly not used for agricultural activities making countries susceptible to food insecurity. In Uganda, access to land and land ownership are critical concerns It has three phases; first, research in Kenya and Uganda, second, a national conference in each country to extrapolate policy issues and disseminate the findings, and sensitize more people on the intensity of the problem, and thirdly, advocacy and lobby for policy formulation and change. As a result there will be close working relationship and collaboration with National Catholic Commission on Justice and Peace and Community Resource Network in Uganda, Catholic Justice and Peace Commission in Kenya. Project Objectives: 1. To increase public awareness on farm land grabbing and ownership in Kenya and Uganda; 2. To sensitize the religious institutions, government and nongovernmental organizations and the public in Kenya and Uganda on the latest trends and dynamics on land use and allocation and how it affects small scale farmers 3. To build the capacity of faith-based organisations for policy analysis and advocacy on behalf of small-scale farmers 4. To conduct a systematic campaign to promote pro-small scale farmers
Burundi Climate Change Adaptation & Sustainable Energy Project
General
The impacts of climate change on agriculture and surrounding ecosystems are projected to result in serious socio-economic implications for the 456,640 people living in Rutana Province. Economic models suggest that Burundi could lose over 2% of its GDP each year due to climate change related losses by 2030, and an even greater proportion thereafter. Drought scenarios show significant monetary losses for Burundi from crop loss and damage on yearly basis. Smallholders will be the most affected group due to their lack of assets to buffer shocks and limited access to the information, new technologies, finance, and government services needed to undertake adaptive actions. In response to these climate change threats, integrated adaptation measures are needed to enhance the resilience of the landscape in Rutana Province, which will sustain the agricultural production and enable sustainable growth of the region in a manner that reduces poverty, increases resilience, and achieves food security. The project’s objective is to lead to a paradigm shift in land management practices from reliance on landscapes that are degraded, fragile and unable to sustain livelihoods. The intervention will restore ecosystem function and build community resilience to enhance livelihoods, food, and water security of the most vulnerable rural population. The project outcomes that will result in the achievement of this objective are:  Outcome 1: Strengthened awareness of climate threats and risk-reduction processes; Outcome 2: Strengthened adaptive capacity for FFPO’s and reduced exposure to climate risks. Outcome 3. CSO are strengthened to advocate for international, regional national CC commitments implementation In order to achieve the three objectives, the project will pursue an integrated resilience approach that is adaptive and able to support transformation and innovative processes. The project’s Theory of Change shows how degraded and climate sensitive landscapes will be transformed by adaptive land management practices and technologies to build resilience of agro-ecological systems and livelihoods.Â
CCASE WEP Burkina Faso
General
The project aims to create a dynamic that will empower young people, vulnerable women and women displaced by insecurity. To achieve this, WEP will use a "Do-It-Yourself" policy with its beneficiaries, who will be identified on the basis of a selection grid. Investment, capacity-building, advocacy and promotion of popular CDNs will be undertaken for the benefit of these beneficiaries.The project will help to protect the environment and increase the financial capacity of women in peri-urban and rural areas, including internally displaced persons. It will also contribute to the promotion of climate justice and the involvement of CSOs in the NDC review process in Burkina Faso. Â The project intends to recycle unused residues, transforming them mainly into biochar and briquettes, and also using them to run the biodigester. The biochar produced will be used to fertilise poor soils. The briquettes produced will be used as cooking fuel by the women, but also sold by them to generate income. The biodigester will have two, or even multiple, uses: it will provide bioenergy for lighting, fuel for the women's cooking, and also fertiliser thanks to the bio-digestate. Two biodigesters are planned as part of this project, one at the WEP agroecological centre (central region) and the other in the commune of Laye (central plateau region). The project therefore contributes to CABF's three strategic objectives in that it addresses resilience, the promotion of renewable energy and gender equality. By increasing women's economic power, they will be better regarded by their husbands and even in the village. Â What's more, in the two regions of Plateau Central and Centre, women do not have the right to own land. They have access to it through their husbands for annual crops (groundnuts, cowpeas, sorrel, etc.). As part of a project implemented by WEP on "food sovereignty and women's leadership", advocacy work was carried out with customary authorities and landowners to improve women farmers' access to land. This project, which has achieved a number of results, is due to end in March 2024. This project will reinforce the advocacy work carried out under the above-mentioned project. This will facilitate the granting and securing of land for the targeted groups. In addition, the project will help women and displaced people to obtain and secure their land in order to avoid evictions and land disputes after the project. Â During the project, capacity-building sessions will be held for beneficiaries on agricultural production techniques, marketing, installation of solar equipment, women's leadership, CDNs and advocacy techniques Â
