Objectives
In response to the Climate Smart Jobs (CSJ) Programme Component 4: Climate Smart Land Management and Services, Mercy Corps and partners propose the Restoring Ecological Vitality In Vulnerable Ecosystems (REVIVE) programme, which will support both smallholder farmers vulnerable to climate change and key market system actors to adopt more sustainable land management approaches, increasing productivity and incomes and reducing environmental risks for entire communities. The ultimate aim is to support the flow of finance, skills and knowledge to allow small and medium farmer communities to become the stewards of their own ecosystems: to ensure commercial viability and to design incentives that will work to restore and protect at the ecosystem watershed or landscape levels. REVIVE will also engage the customer base for CSLMS to incentivise the level of demand necessary to scale these products and services and enable extra finance through carbon trading when feasible. By facilitating investments into entrepreneurial farmers, our approach will enable farmers to invest in additional sustainable land management activities to improve their ecosystem management and thus realise quicker financial returns.

Réhabilitation d’infrastructures publiques à travers l’activation à Bel Air d’un Centre de Services à l’Entrep
General
The project aims at supporting existing actions towards the reduction of community- based violence by facilitating the employability of youth through the reinforcement of their capacities and the creation of micro and small enterprises in the construction sector in the target neighbourhoods. The selected areas of intervention are among the most vulnerable of Port-au-Prince and are characterised by high social conflict and economic insecurity which result in urban violence and unstable life conditions. ILO's efforts towards the creation of sustainable and decent jobs through professional training (aimed at obtaining State certification), production and rehabilitation of public infrastructures hope to decrease the risk of community-based violence, in agreement with the mandate of the CVR-MINUSTAH. In particular, ILO's intervention targets the young unemployed and aims to involve them in income-generating activities that will contribute to the economic development of their own neighbourhoods. Direct beneficiaries: 57 direct beneficiaries (30% women) aged between 15 and 35, including 8 entrepreneurs considered as "vulnerable", identified through a community participatory process. Indirect beneficiaries: - Families of the direct beneficiaries; - Residents and entrepreneurs of Fort National; - Old people, disabled people, children and all residents who will benefit from the pedestrian accesses built in their neighbourhood.
