General
In Uganda, women’s land and property rights are not easily realizable despite having highly rated gender sensitive constitution. This is because of deeply rooted patriarchal attitudes in society that often relegate women’s land right to merely user rights and impracticalities in implementing well designed laws. Ironically it is women (75% - 80%) who produce foods for consumption in Uganda andbeyond. The situation would be different if they enjoy all bundles of land rights, i.e. ownership, control and user rights. In other words, production would exponentially increase and then eliminate hunger and poverty. In fact according to UBOS, 2014, women’s ownership and control of land directly increases production by 40%. Although the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995 as amended, provides for ownership of land by every Ugandan citizen, there is still a huge gender gap between the women and men of Uganda inownership of land as only 20% of the women own land according to the Human Development SurveyUnited Nations Development Fund Report, 2019. During the Wellspring Philanthropic Fund (WPF) grant for the year 2020/2021, Oxfam Uganda engaged in Generation Equality Forum (GEF); the Beijing +25 process since 2019, which included supporting and coordinating civil society engagement at national and regional levels, rendered support to grassroots women this year in collaboration with the Gender Is My Agenda Campaign (GIMAC) network and International Land Coalition (ILC, we organised an online meeting toinfluence adoption of the Kilimanjaro Charter of Demands, as a reference for the ambitions of women in Africa with regard to land and also as a guide for land governance in African countrieswhich was attended by representatives of the African Union LandPolicy Centre and United Nation Economic Commission for Africa, supported the Continental Network of Indigenous Women of the Americas (ECMIA) to advocate for the rights of indigenous women through theCEDAW process, continued our work to ensure the international and regional commitments that safeguard women’s land and natural resource rights are implemented in countries, continued our engagement on implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, focused on developing gender transformative leadershipinorder to ensure sustainable change and to combat both individual and systemic barriers with regard to women’s land and natural resource rights, facilitated documentation of women’s land rights cases and stories to support our campaigning, such as LandRights Now, the Kilimanjaro women’s initiative campaign and the Land Inequality campaign, currently being formulated. Our work for the year 2021/2022 will continue the work on Beijing +25 through working with Action Coalition leaders such as the Huairou Commission and FEMNET for the next five years of the Generation Equality Action Coalitions. We will continue to promote gender transformative leadership to strengthen women’s land and natural resource governance, working with countries to use and adaptexisting tools. We are training CSOs on parallel reporting, which enables them to engage with their national governments on implementation of and reporting on SDG land rights targets. Around the HLPF we create platforms for CSOs to report and build momentum, highlighting the importance of land rights in the SDGs so as to achieve the SDGs and will be easy to navigate, facilitate accessing data on land tenure, and accompanying narratives/stories that elaborate on progress made based on the data presented.We willcontinue our work with the Continental Network of Indigenous Women of the Americas (ECMIA) focusing on strengthening indigenous women’s position in CEDAW, this grant will continue to play a key role in supporting Oxfam’s leadership and coordinationof international advocacy work, We will continue to work with allies to coordinate and promote campaigns such as Land Rights Now, Kilimanjaro Campaign and Land Inequality. For the coming year our work will support all three campaigning efforts, with a focus onLand Inequality.

Mozambique - Climate Insurance Finance and Resilience Project (CLINFIREP)
General
The Climate Insurance, Finance and Resilience Project (CLINFIREP) seeks to promote the development of climate-resilient infrastructure and agricultural diversification using climate-smart agriculture practices to enhance Climate Resilience for sustained economic growth in Mozambique. The project also supports the Government national preparedness plan to reduce social vulnerability to drought through adoption of preventive insurance policies and programs and helping strengthen national capacity to respond to climate disasters. This is an important intervention as the effects and impacts of climate change are already being felt in the form of erratic and inadequate rainfall patterns and declining on-farm productivity. The total project cost is 33.94 million Units of Account (47.78 million dollars) and will be implemented over 5 years (2021-2026) in the 10 drought prone districts of the Maputo Province, Gaza and Inhambane Province. It builds on past investments by the Bank on drought resilience and is well aligned with the Government of Mozambique (GoM’s) priorities particularly the Disaster Risk Reduction, Emergency Fund, the National Adaptation Plans and the overall policy framework on climate change adaptation and mitigation. It is anticipated that the outcomes of the Project will increase GoM’s institutional capacity to develop climate proof integrated development programs and devise adequate climate insurance products, in the targeted areas in Mozambique. The CLINFIREP will also facilitate the participation of the country in the sovereign insurance pool of the African Risk Capacity (ARC) or other insurance mechanisms, which supports countries that experience climate shocks, including droughts and tropical cyclones.
Objectives
The CLINFIREP proposes to reduce the impact of climate events and strengthen the resilience capacity of communities and production systems to better cope with the effects of drought, which are exacerbated by rural poverty, food insecurity, and land degradation. The specific objectives of the project are: (i) to improve climate resilient infrastructure (ii) to promote climate-resilient income-generating activities and strengthen food security and nutrition and (iii)to enhance insurance mechanisms against climate-related disasters.
Target Groups
The Project will benefit the communities of the selected districts, displaced people in the Cabo Delgado Province, the Government at large, particularly the National Institute of Disaster Management (INGD), including the Disaster Management Fund (DMF), Food Security and Nutrition Secretariate (SETSAN), and Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Internal Waters (MOPH), Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC), Ministry of Land and Environment (MTA) and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) and the respective agencies at provincial and district levels where the Project will be implemented, through additional capacity and, technical and financial resources, to address their development challenges. The direct beneficiaries of the Project interventions are anticipated at around 500,000 people affected by droughts in the Southern regions of the country, of which at least 54% are women and youth. While in the northern Mozambique, the project will support some of the displaced people that have been affected by the armed groups. Other indirect beneficiaries include the private sector, the agricultural marketing enterprises, commercial and investment Banks, farmers’ groups and their representatives at the farmers’ associations.
Malawi - Shire Valley Transformation and Irrigation Program –Phase 1 (SVTP-1)
General
The proposed operation is the first phase of the Shire Valley Transformation Program (SVTP-I) in Malawi. SVTP is a program of three sequential but partially overlapping phases (with different financiers entering at different times and in parallel financing arrangements). The program is to provide access to reliable gravity fed irrigation and drainage services, secure land tenure for smallholder farmers and strengthened management of wetlands and protected areas. SVTP-I will provide the necessary infrastructure and enabling environment to scale up the deployment of agricultural technologies under SVTP-II in line with the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) framework to increase agricultural productivity and value addition. SVTP-II shifts investment focus to agricultural investment, private sector and value chain support, as well as the investments in bulk infrastructure for the SVIP-II area. Finally, SVTP-III is the massive scale up phase of investments to the SVIP-II area. SVTP-I has a time frame of seven years from 2018 to 2025 and total cost net of taxes and duties, is UA 155.93 million. The project has four main components, namely: (i) Irrigation Service and Infrastructure Provision; (ii) Land Tenure and Natural Resources Management Support; (iii) Agriculture development and Commercialization; and (iv) Project Management and Coordination.
Objectives
The SVTP-1 objective is to contribute to poverty reduction through increased value addition and provision of infrastructure for increased agricultural productivity and climate adaptation.
Target Groups
The direct beneficiaries of the project are approximately 56,000 families of smallholder farmers. The project will focus on the participation of women and female-headed households (about 40-60% of the total number of beneficiaries targeted by government policy) as well as young people, but will strive to include as many women as possible.
