LAND-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.

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.

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

Integrated Emergency Shelter and NFI Response to Displacement Affected Communities in Somali Region, Liben and

Objectives

127,812 Households living in 308 IDP sites in Somali Region, are in urgent need of shelter and NFI assistance (HRDP 2018). ZOA’s proposed intervention targets 1,911 households (estimated 11,467 IDP persons) living in conflict and flood affected woredas of Dawa and Liben Zones of Somali Region. These families belong to the most vulnerable IDPs who live in makeshift buuls (Somali hut) without adequate access to NFIs. The shelter conditions are not in line with the minimum SPHERE standards. Initially, rapid assessment will be conducted to identify the shelter and NFI needs and gaps of target groups. Based on the findings, ZOA intends to undertake construction of transitional Shelters for 320 households mostly through community and owner driven approaches that maximize beneficiary participation and local livelihoods opportunities. Selection of beneficiaries will involve IDP settlement and local community leaders, based on clear vulnerability-based criteria. Construction sites will be identified in collaboration with local land administration authorities and Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Bureau (DPPB). Local leaders, IDP Community representatives and local authorities will be trained on settlement planning and producing settlement plans. By doing so, proper site planning will be undertaken to ensure effective mitigation of hazards and reduce alarming congestion levels in target settlements. Thus, the vulnerability of target households resulting from the type of shelters they live in and interlinked conditions will be reduced including congestion, GVB cases and communicable diseases. To verify the possible implementation option to address the NFI needs of 1591 target households rapid cash feasibility assessment will be conducted. Based on the finding, ZOA will follow a flexible intervention tool of either direct cash transfer or voucher system, and as a last resort in-kind distribution of the standard full NFI kits. Beneficiary selection will follow a need based and transparent approach. The distribution of NFI kits will have positive impact on the lives of vulnerable target groups especially women and speed up the recovery process. As women carry out most of the household chores, the items in the kit will lessen the burden of water storage, cooking, cleaning, sanitation and catering for overall household needs. ZOA’s program delivery takes into consideration age, gender and diversity approach to ensure all beneficiaries within the targeted IDP communities in the two Zones participate in planning, implementation and monitoring of the program activities. Gender and protection will be mainstreamed in all program activities. In addition to this, ZOA will seek Integration with other partners on the ground to ensure complementarity and maximize efficiency of the response.
