Displaying 446 - 450 of 2113LAND-at-scale Burundi: Amahoro @ Scale – An integrated approach towards improved tenure security and land gove
General
Burundi has the world’s highest hunger score and around 45 percent of the population is affected by food insecurity. The country copes with increasing scarcity of land as a result of increasing population size, returnees and IDPs and climate change. With the majority of Burundians depending on agriculture for their food and livelihoods, land scarcity makes this reliance on agriculture precarious. This pressure on land causes elevated levels of land disputes with over 55% of all court cases being related to conflicts over land. The results of these disputes are often highly uncertain, as land is commonly not registered and no good documentation of ownership or use rights exists. ZOA has successfully implemented Land Tenure Registration projects in the Makamba-province, but the sustainability of the local land offices (SFCs) remains an issue, as well as guaranteeing gender equality in land governance.The objective of this LAND-at-scale project is to improve tenure security of women and men, conflict resolution and to create the basis for improved agricultural production, access to justice and sustainable, climate smart agri-businesses. This will be done through the following project strategies:1) Implementing the land tenure registration approach in Nyanza Lac through the operationalization of the SFCs.2) Ensuring local land conflict resolution mechanisms can effectively resolve land conflicts in Nyanza Lac.3) Developing a business case that will result in the rollout of (financially) sustainable SFCs at national level, which is validated through multistakeholder engagements.
Reinforce the capacities of protection from natural, man-made hazards and conflict escalation of acutely-vulne
Objectives
This is an urgent emergency response to provide highly vulnerable Palestinian families with adequate shelter for the summer season. This action, which includes the rehabilitation and/or upgrading of shelters, will further reduce/prevent the risk of seasonal displacement and forcible transfer of affected people. Activities are designed to provide assistance and reduce the exposure of targeted beneficiaries to both man-made and natural disasters, enabling them to live with adequate standards. The action follows an holistic approach which couples the provision of essential services and materials, with legal and incident profiling, provision of risk preparedness tools and resources and reinforcement of communities' capacities to engage local authorities, humanitarian and development actors. The action, which is fully in line with the 2018 HRP Strategic Objective 1 and 2, complies with the minimum SPHERE standards for adequate housing, Shelter Cluster minimum agreed standards, gender, and adequate access to housing by people with disabilities. Further, gender and protection are mainstreamed, ensuring compliance with “Do-No Harm” principles to prepare against security-related risks or shocks. The identified activities come as a result of the conduction of a community-based protection approach, in a participatory way, to strengthen the capacities of the communities in Area C. Specifically, the action intends to rehabilitate/upgrade 86 shelters in 5 communities, located in the Governorates of Hebron and Ramallah. People of these communities, mostly farmers and herders, are 62% refugees, and are highly affected by Israeli Force demolitions, “Stop Work Order” and demolition orders, lack of access to basic services, inadequate shelter, and movement restrictions among many other hindrances. As part of the implementation methodology, led by community members through a participatory approach, the intervention will ensure that the most vulnerable households have the right to adequate living standards through rehabilitated shelters, in respect to international and national standards and Shelter Cluster objectives. This will be established by enhancing local expertise and empowering the local community. Rehabilitation/upgrading will be completed by the beneficiaries themselves through community implementation, in line with GVC methodology, which includes one month for data collection on beneficiaries, identification of the project committees, analysis of the skills of the member of the local project committees, and signature of the MoUs by the local committees, which assume the responsibility of the implementation of the works. It will generate revenues, reduce visibility during implementation, and increase maintenance and ownership of the rehabilitated shelters, reducing vulnerabilities. The specific technique selected for each community depends on several factors (among other, the status of land ownership). In Qawawis the intervention is the rehabilitation of concrete shelters with composite roof: the composite shelters consists of concrete sides with a roof composed of metal or zinc roof, polystyrene between wood and metal that functions as an insulation material. They are comprised of steel framing covered with metal sheets, insulated, and include a wooden floor framework (treated with fireproof material). In Hebron H2 the intervention rehabilitation of concrete shelter with asphalted roof with internal renovation works. For the 3 targeted communities in Area C given the specific circumstances and the lack of land ownership, the intervention will foresee the provision of PVC plastic cover (supporting the structure of metal bars that the community members already own). These high-priority interventions will be implemented in partnership by GVC and MA’AN Development Centre and in coordination with the Palestinian Authority-related bodies such as village councils, the AWSC and ACCO

LAND-at-scale Burkina Faso: Scaling up Land Governance for Food Security in Burkina Faso
General
Burkina Faso is a country dealing with many crises: food insecurity, climate vulnerability and massive population displacement. Land plays a critical factor in all these crises. The fast-growing population, degradation of land as well as widespread migration of the population across Burkina Faso are putting rampant pressures on land. The country is heavily dependent on agriculture, which employs 80% of the population. Despite this, the country deals with significant food security issues. With emerging patterns of high temperatures and pockets of drought, the country is very vulnerable to climate shocks. As is observed in many crises, vulnerable groups are hit hardest by the consequences. Women and youth particularly, suffer disproportionality. They suffer from marginalization through customary practices, which leads to increased vulnerability to the factors above and has led to decreased access to land, or even land dispossession.The objective of this LAND-at-scale project is to improve food security and the resilience of women and youth in the country by securing their access to land and by strengthening land governance and management practices.• Raising awareness on land rights among relevant stakeholders; • Participatory registration of land titles with special reference to women and youth; • Optimizing land management practices of secured land of women and youth to address challenges related to land degradation and/or food insecurity; and • Monitoring and learning on the experiences of the other components and formulating recommendations for more sustainable land governance.

Target Groups
The project will generate a range of socio-economic benefits as it invests in mainstreaming biodiversity conservation and ecosystem safeguards across key development sectors in partnership with landowners, traditional leaders and local communities, and further improve management of the protected area system and priority catchments. Increased inclusion of landowners and local communities in biodiversity conservation and sustainable natural resource management. Landowners and local communities will be proactively engaged in the governance and management of protected and managed areas and priority catchments, protecting and respecting traditional practices and knowledge. Engagement of Cook Island Maori communities will be ensured through obtaining free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). Gender mainstreaming and increased inclusion of youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. The project will facilitate advances in gender equality and women’s empowerment, through inclusion in decision-making processes on natural resource management, delivery of capacity building on improving financial management skills, and disseminating information on available financing options for local community organizations, helping to enhance small-scale entrepreneurship, with a particular emphasis on engaging women-led community-based organizations and local enterprises. Project activities will emphasise priority inclusion of women, youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. Strengthening wellbeing and income-generating measures. Livelihood benefits will be generated for local households through increased soil productivity, soil and water conservation, access to low-value grant assistance for interventions on biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, and through access to capacity building on sustainable agricultural practices, best practices in ecotourism, biodiversity conservation, and alternative livelihoods. Strengthened resilience (adaptation benefits).Protection of scarce freshwater resources in Rarotonga is one of the main priorities with respect to climate change adaptation in the Cook Islands. The target catchments in the project cover a cumulative area of 2,513 ha, representing more than 35% of the total terrestrial area of the island. The catchment audits and management plans under Outputs 2.1 and 2.2 will provide scale-able frameworks for the other catchments in the country. Implementation of sustainable land management practices and reduction in the use of agrochemicals will generate substantive adaptation benefits. Moreover, improved and intersectoral management of priority catchments will contribute to the low carbon development priorities of the country, safeguarding important ecosystem services, increasing awareness, and increasing resilience and coping capacities of local communities. Relevance to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework: The project is relevant to a number of SDGs, most notably SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), as outlined below in Table 3 of the Project Document.Relevance to United Nations Pacific Strategy 2018-2022 and UNDP Strategy Plan 2022-2025:The project is aligned to the United Nations Pacific Strategy 2018-2022, specifically Outcome 1: “Climate change, disaster resilience, and environmental protection”; Output 1.5: “Number of PICTs coverage of terrestrial and marine areas that are protected.” The GEF-7 project aims to facilitate improved management effectiveness of four protected and managed areas and establishment of a new, community conserved area in the cloud forest in Rarotonga. The expected project results will also contribute towards achievement of the UNDP Strategic Plan (2022-2025), namely Output Signature Solution #4 (Environment); contributing to UNDP SP Result 4.1: “Natural resources protected and managed to enhance sustainable productivity and livelihoods”; and Result 4.2: “Public and private investment mechanismsmobilizedfor biodiversity, water, oceans, and climate solutions”. Under the Integrated results and resources framework (IRRF) of the UNDP Strategic Plan, the project will contribute towards Indicator IRRF 4.1.1 (“Number of people directly benefitting from initiatives to protect nature and promote sustainable use of resources”), and Indicator 4.2.1 (“Number of people directly benefitting from mechanisms for biodiversity, water, oceans, and climate solutions funded by public and/or private sector resources”): 9,588 estimated direct beneficiaries, of whom 4,892 are women; and Indicator IRRF 4.1.2: 15,831 ha of “area of terrestrial (1,378 ha) and marine protected areas (14,453 ha) created or under improved management practices”, and 3,130 ha of “areas of landscapes under improved practices, excluding protected areas”.
