The programme aims to help sustainably guarantee food and nutrition security and rural households' resilience to crises in the Maradi, Tahoua and Zinder regions. It aims to increase the income of 290,000 farmer households, their resilience to external shocks, including climate change, and their access to local, urban and regional markets. Sustainable land and watershed management practices will improve water infiltration in the aquifer, reduce erosion and silting, and will thus help to mitigate the constraints and effects of climate change in watershed areas. Activities address the recovery of 10,450 ha of degraded land and 7000 ha of watershed areas, the fixation of dunes around the basins on about 2000 ha and the development of 2500 ha of silvo-pastoral area. Further it is planned to develop a small-scale irrigation system on 5000 ha land. With regard to natural resource governance, the programme will support the wide dissemination of the existing legislation, the assessment of the land tenure situation before and after programme interventions, the negotiation of sustainable management methods for the developed land and the formation or revitalization of community organizations. These activities will enhanced through the continuous support to Niger's Rural Code and to land commissions at different levels.

The general objective of the programme is to ameliorate the governance of tenure in the Amazonia. Specifically, the project aims to accelerate the process of allocation and registration of public lands in the targeted areas, in the framework of the initiative "Terra Legal". It targets more than 8000 families occupying public land who will be supported for the regularization of their parcels.

The project aims to increase the nutritional status and incomes of 22,400 poor households in four districts of the Khatlon region by sustainably enhancing livestock productivity and climate resilience in a sustainable matter. Special attention will be given to woman-headed households and women belonging to poor households. Land and natural resource governance related interventions aim at securing land tenure by strengthening Pasture Users’ Union and through the titling of land user right certificates. The goal is to issuing 160 land use rights agreements to the Pasture Users' Union. This should lead to the reduction of disputes regarding access to pastures by 50%. The programme will also support the implementation of Tajikistan’s Pasture Law on different levels.

The FAO country office in Brazil has promoted the use and dissemination of the Voluntary Guidelines at the national level. Among one of the first activities will be to translate the Voluntary Guidelines into Portuguese. This will prove extremely useful for work in other Portuguese-speaking countries and regions. The Voluntary Guidelines are being used as a reference document to enrich discussion and feed into policy and framework development in government conferences and committees (including II Conferência Nacional de Solidariedade e Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável and Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável – CONDRAF). Discussions with all stakeholders are also being facilitated on implementation strategies for the Voluntary Guidelines in Brazil.

The programme aims at building the support system to facilitate the implementation of the VGGT and that of the AU Land Policy G&F on the African continent respectively. Synergies to facilitate the implementation of both frameworks are actively promoted in liaison with a dedicated EU-Programme

(The funding amount only reflects the support from Finland= all of Finland's funding, as, if widely understood, it could be included in the support of land tenure) The major focus – and added value - of the Lao PDR Forest Investment Plan (Lao FIP) is to promote participatory sustainable forest management (PSFM) of all types of forests, with a major emphasis on promoting the capacities of villagers and other grassroots managers. SUFORD-SU is the fourth in a series of projects promoting participatory sustainable forest management. The current project covers 13 provinces, 41 of the country’s 51 PFAs, comprising 2.3 million ha and more than 1000 villages. The current project is also piloting an approach to forest landscape management in four provinces, and piloting village forestry in at least 30 villages in this area. It is supporting work on payment for environmental services (PES) and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). Forest and wildlife law enforcement activities continued to be supported, as well as work on key relevant policy, legislative, and regulatory issues. The project also disseminates information on project issues, and aims to raise awareness regarding climate change and REDD+. SUFORD-SU is not only developing its own monitoring and evaluation systems for the project, but working to develop and strengthen government monitoring, reporting, evaluation, and analysis capabilities. A PFA Monitoring System (PFAMS) will be built, to complement other ongoing work such as the National Forest Information System (NFIS) under development.
