The project aims to raise the income of 128,700 smallholder farmers households by assisting them in taking advantage of concrete income opportunities in pro-poor cash crop value chains in partnership with private operators. It will achieve sustainable increased returns to farmers from key export-driven agricultural value chains, through increased volumes and quality of production, improved marketing and effective farmer organisations. The project targets households involved in the production of coffee and tea, in sericulture and horticulture. It has a national scope, and shall comprise the Southern and Western Provinces of Rwanda for tea activities. With regard to land and natural resource governance, the project aims at participating in the implementation of the National Policy aiming at providing farmers with land titles by financing the registration and titling costs of farmers’ plots in project-supported tea plantations.

Italy is providing financial support over three years for the dissemination and effective and high quality implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (Voluntary Guidelines). Component 1 of the project focuses on providing a series of 3 country level workshops in each participating country (Senegal and Niger). The overall objective of the national workshops will be to increase the ability of governments and citizens to understand and administer tenure rights and the processes involved in providing access to and transferring such rights by developing a critical mass of informed stakeholders. The aim of the workshop series (three per country) is to promote the following: a) assist participants to contribute to the improvement and development of the national policy, legal and organizational frameworks regulating the range of tenure rights and to develop concrete plans for implementing the VGGT in their countries; b) create informed communities that are able to contribute to the reform process and monitor progress over time; and c) create learning cadres that will receive further training through e-learning and blended learning planned for the future.

The United Kingdom is providing financial support totalling GBP 3 922 159 over three years for the dissemination and effective and high quality implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (Voluntary Guidelines) which were globally endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security in May 2012 and whose implementation has been encouraged by the UK. Component 3.1 of the project includes funding for country level activities in Uganda and Nigeria. Both countries have undergone a participatory land governance assessment. The in-depth work will build on the insights of these assessments and on the dynamics generated through the awareness raising workshops and related process that the FAO will start with. Technical assistance will be provided to address specific issues raised as priorities. In Uganda, these include a review of the land use policy to address challenges caused by pressure on land in the agricultural sector; targeted studies into tenure issues relating to the rural poor; institutional capacity development and training; development of innovative approaches for recording informal, customary, and user rights. In Nigeria work will focus on issues raised in the LGAF, the workshops and the subsequently provided technical assistance will be linked to the work undertaken by the G8 Land Partnership, namely for improving transparency in the land sector, securing tenure for the population and strengthening capacities of key stakeholders. The programme will also carry out a study into the regulatory provisions and guideline requirements to establish and manage grazing reserves and stock routes.
