Thus, global environment benefits (GEBs) of this project include carbon sequestration and climate regulation as a result of land rehabilitation, land restoration, improvement of government policies as well as access to education and information regarding land degradation. The generation of these GEBs will be supported by several socio-economic benefits that will be delivered both at national and local level by this GEF-FAO-UNEP proposal. At national level, this project will, in the first place, strengthen the development of policies and measures to address the issue of LDN contributing to the achievement of UNCCD National Action Programme as well. Outcome 1.1 ensures that the legal and policy framework is reinforced. The increase of land productivity and yields at smallholder level will also lead to the overall boost of production in the agriculture, agroforestry and land-use change sectors. At local level, the project will indirectly support poverty reduction and increased food security as a result of smallholders’ income raise. Secondly, SLM demonstration activities under Output 1.2.2 will bring about carbon benefits in four pilot areas through land restoration.

Restoration of ecosystems, integrated natural resource management and promotion of SLM in Mbuluzi River Basin

Objectives

To promote ecosystem restoration for a productive Mbuluzi River landscape and effectively managed protected areas providing critical ecosystem goods and services

Target Groups

The project will provide benefits globally, nationally and locally. This project will enhance the capacity for implementation of a robust framework to manage land and biodiversity degradation in Eswatini. By strengthening Eswatini’s strategies, mechanisms, and institutions for land restoration and natural resource management at the national level, globally significant biodiversity and landscapes will be protected, and livelihoods strengthened. The strengthening of land and biodiversity management will contribute to the development of social inclusion and gender equality, foster clear and transparent provisions and strengthen the capacity for local communities to benefit from their landscape and biodiversity, thereby generating opportunities for themselves. This will also have benefits to the local communities immediately impacted by land degradation, including those deriving livelihoods from forest, protected areas and agricultural ecosystems, directly through production, or indirectly such as through tourism and ecosystem services. Additional domestic benefits generated over the baseline case will be as a result of reduced impact of climate change on economic activity. Further benefits will accrue through replication of the approaches used at the pilot sites to other sites in the country. The approach used in the project as a whole will also provide lessons and opportunities for replication in other countries in Africa.

Inclusive conservation of sea turtles and seagrass habitats in the north and north-west of Madagascar

Objectives

To adopt integrated approaches for inclusive conservation of sea turtles and seagrasses and the sustainable management of their habitats in North-West Madagascar.

Target Groups

The project is designed to provide direct socio-economic benefits to at least 13,000 local people (at least 30% women) in the target communities living in the project sites - Nosy Hara National Park, Sahamalaza National Park, Ankarea MPA, Ankivonjy MPA, and Bobaomby and Analalava areas - through the involvement of local communities in Bobaomby and Analalava MPA/LMMA establishment and operationalization (assisting local communities in obtaining land tenure titles; development/renewal of co-management agreements, and providing conditions for employment of up to 200 Marine Community Rangers (Outputs 2.1); capacity building for COSAPS, Marine Community Rangers, and OMCs of existing MPAs (Nosy Hara National Park, Sahamalaza National Park, Ankarea MPA, Ankivonjy MPA) on protection and sustainbale management of sea turtle, seagrass, and other marine resources (Output 2.2); development and implementation of a Blue Carbon project on community-based conservation of mangroves and seagrass that expected to provide local people with sustainbale income from selling of blue carbon credits (Output 3.1, direct investment of $400,000); development and implementation of pilot CBNRM and alternative livelihood projects (Outputs 3.1) with direct investments of $408,000 to local communities in the form of Low Value Grants. The projected increase of revenue of local communities resulting from the implementation of the Blue Carbon, CBNRM and alternative livelihood pilot projects (Output 3.1) can be estimated in 50-100%[1]. At the same time, the project is expected to decrease economic losses from sea turtle poaching and trade, degradation of seagrass beds, mangroves and other marine habitats in the project area by 50-100% during its lifetime via the increased law enforcement and effective MPA co-management (Outputs 2.1-2.3). That will provide additional benefits to local communities increasing their environmental sustainability and ability to adapt to climate change.

Monitoring des procès à caractère foncier dont sont parties les rescapes du génocide des Tutsis et les femmes

General

Le projet vise à faire le monitoring des procès à caractère foncier devant les juridictions de droit rwandais (Tribunaux de Base) qui concerne principalement le recouvrement du droit à la terre des orphelins du génocide et le droit de la femme vivant seule à la succession foncière . Renforcer les connaissances en droits humains dans les jugements relatives à la propriété foncière Améliorer laccès à la justice aux rescapés du génocide et aux femmes Promouvoir une justice équitable
