United Nations
The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. It is currently made up of 193 Member States. The mission and work of the United Nations are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.
Due to the powers vested in its Charter and its unique international character, the United Nations can take action on the issues confronting humanity in the 21st century, such as peace and security, climate change, sustainable development, human rights, disarmament, terrorism, humanitarian and health emergencies, gender equality, governance, food production, and more.
The UN also provides a forum for its members to express their views in the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and other bodies and committees. By enabling dialogue between its members, and by hosting negotiations, the Organization has become a mechanism for governments to find areas of agreement and solve problems together.
The UN's Chief Administrative Officer is the Secretary-General.

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.
Développement rural (MATOY)
General
Ce programme vise la relance économique de trois régions significatives du Madagascar (Amoron’I Mania, Menabe et Vakinankaratra, en tout 1.5 mio d’habitants) sur la base d’une valorisation des meilleurs résultats obtenus jusqu’ici par la DDC à Madagascar. Il intervient dans trois domaines majeurs et interdépendants : la sécurité foncière, les capacités d’investissement des communes et l’économie privée autour de chaînes de valeur spécifiques. Il est exécuté par un Consortium composé de HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation et les ONGs malgaches SAHA et AIM.

Appui à la gestion foncière
General
Lancé depuis 2008 au Burundi et 2011 en RDC, le programme d’appui à la gestion foncière met le focus stratégique sur la sécurisation des droits en milieu rural ainsi que le développement et la mise en œuvre des politiques foncières en vue de garantir une meilleure gouvernance dans ce domaine et la réduction des conflits dans les communautés. Le focus portera sur le renforcement et l’extention des services fonciers, la reconnaissance des droits sur les terres rurales et l’amélioration du cadre légal et politique.
Towards Land Degradation Neutrality for Improved Equity, Sustainability, and Resilience
Objectives
Enhance climate-resilient food production and nutrition in productive landscapes through nature-based solutions in support of Cabo Verde’s voluntary LDN targets

Target Groups
Degraded lands in Cabo Verde provide many important ecosystem goods and services. These lands provide not only economic benefits, but also social and environmental services. Global environmental benefits related to the establishment of an effective Land Degradation Neutrality system that balances gains and losses of productive land and supports resilient and productive landscapes with a mosaic of land uses and diverse livelihood opportunities will also generate socio-economic benefits for the local communities in the project targeted areas. These benefits include: ? Strengthening of value chains and improvement of market access for revenue and income generation, with improved employment opportunities for rural women and youth in particular; ? Improved food, nutritional and water security for vulnerable rural households that are often headed by women, strengthening their human rights to access to food and water; ? More resilient and equitable livelihoods for both women and men; ? Reduced risk (natural disasters, market volatility, access to information and finance) related to investing in value-chain development, restoration and SLM on degraded lands; and ? Improved access to finance for smallholders for investing in new business plans related to SLM for achieving LDN.
