General
The project aims to create a dynamic that will empower young people, vulnerable women and women displaced by insecurity. To achieve this, WEP will use a "Do-It-Yourself" policy with its beneficiaries, who will be identified on the basis of a selection grid. Investment, capacity-building, advocacy and promotion of popular CDNs will be undertaken for the benefit of these beneficiaries.The project will help to protect the environment and increase the financial capacity of women in peri-urban and rural areas, including internally displaced persons. It will also contribute to the promotion of climate justice and the involvement of CSOs in the NDC review process in Burkina Faso. Â The project intends to recycle unused residues, transforming them mainly into biochar and briquettes, and also using them to run the biodigester. The biochar produced will be used to fertilise poor soils. The briquettes produced will be used as cooking fuel by the women, but also sold by them to generate income. The biodigester will have two, or even multiple, uses: it will provide bioenergy for lighting, fuel for the women's cooking, and also fertiliser thanks to the bio-digestate. Two biodigesters are planned as part of this project, one at the WEP agroecological centre (central region) and the other in the commune of Laye (central plateau region). The project therefore contributes to CABF's three strategic objectives in that it addresses resilience, the promotion of renewable energy and gender equality. By increasing women's economic power, they will be better regarded by their husbands and even in the village. Â What's more, in the two regions of Plateau Central and Centre, women do not have the right to own land. They have access to it through their husbands for annual crops (groundnuts, cowpeas, sorrel, etc.). As part of a project implemented by WEP on "food sovereignty and women's leadership", advocacy work was carried out with customary authorities and landowners to improve women farmers' access to land. This project, which has achieved a number of results, is due to end in March 2024. This project will reinforce the advocacy work carried out under the above-mentioned project. This will facilitate the granting and securing of land for the targeted groups. In addition, the project will help women and displaced people to obtain and secure their land in order to avoid evictions and land disputes after the project. Â During the project, capacity-building sessions will be held for beneficiaries on agricultural production techniques, marketing, installation of solar equipment, women's leadership, CDNs and advocacy techniques Â

Responsible and Innovative Land Administration Project in Etiopia, second phase (REILA II)
General
The project is the second phase of REILA (Responsible and Innovative Land Administration) that supports the development of land administration in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of the least developed countries (LDCs) according to the OECD's classification. All the land in Ethiopia is owned by the government, but the farmers have traditional, extensive user rights to their lands. Official registration of such lands increases further the tenure security. Increased land tenure security encourages farmers to use their lands in a sustainable way and to make investments to raise the productivity of the lands. Official registration also reduces conflicts over land. The project started in August in 2017, in alignment with the Ethiopia’s fiscal year. The long term impact of the project is to achieve improved livelihood and economic well-being of the rural population through promotion of sustainable land management practices. The outcome is to have improved and appropriate land administration system for Ethiopia and improved land tenure security for rural land users. Ministry of Agriculture manages the implementation of the project in Ethiopia. Finland's support to the intervention is 7.8 MEUR with a total budget of 8.51 MEUR. Additional funding for 2023 is 1 MEUR, thus Finland's total funding is 8.8 MEUR.
F.a: Habru Leghida Building Climate Resilient Communities Project
General
Ethiopian farming communities? resilience is severely affected by adverse impacts of climate change. Majority of the population in Amhara region is involved in traditional forms of farming vulnerable to the changing climate. Legeheda and Habru districts are among the most disaster-prone areas of the region. The severe land degradation exacerbated by the changing climate puts their livelihoods at risk. This project is aiming at addressing the negative effects of climate change and contribute to building community's resilience through rehabilitation of degraded lands, employing climate smart agriculture, enhancing gender equality and climate literacy, promoting networking among various stakeholders working in areas of climate change and advocate for climate change adaptation and mitigation. In addition, the project works on increasing awareness of target communities on climate change and gender equality. The project will empower women through the self-help group approach creating more skills and knowledge to combat climate change. Moreover, as youth are the most vulnerable, access to vocational skill training and off farm green jobs will be created by the project. Beneficiaries of the project are children and youth at risk of marginalization, persons with disabilities, women and girls living in the project area, as well as government officials and authorities, religious leaders and leaders of CSOs. The implementing agency is the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus-Development and Social Services Commission (EECMY-DASSC).
F.a: Promoting biocultural rights of the indigenous and hunter-gatherer Aweer community in Boni, Lamu County
General
The project supports the Aweer indigenous people of Lamu County to defend their biocultural rights. The Aweer are nomadic hunter-gatherers living in scattered communities. Their entire cultural existence is increasingly threatened by external threats to their own habitats. The project strengthens their understanding and skills related to their rights and defending them with the tools offered to them by national legislation and international human rights treaties. The project has the following elements: - Trainings related to legislative empowerment - related to land, resources and a clean and safe environment. The Aweer are empowered to face possible illegal displacements and attempts to exploit their territories and traditional knowledge. - Promoting of local and national development plans, which take into account and recognize the culture, identity and traditional rights of the Aweer and other indigenous and local communities. - The process of drafting Aweer biocultural community protocols will be started. Biocultural community protocols highlight the values, customs and needs of communities on the one hand and the rights and obligations of communities on the other. The protocol describes the traditional ways of life of the communities, information about the resources available to the communities and the use of biodiversity. It can be used to highlight the rights and obligations of communities in terms of the management, protection and sustainable use of their territories. - De-gazettement of the Aweer community?s ancestral lands, presently the Boni-Lungi reserve, and its legal recognition as Indigenous Peoples and Community Conserved Territories and Areas (ICCAs) through a formal and secure land tenure system. The scope of the project includes approx. 20,100 representatives of the Aweer community in the Boni Lungi and Panda Nguo areas of Lamu County. A baseline report on the state of biocultural rights and other environmental justice dynamics of the Sanye community of Lamu county, will also be one output of the project. Indirect beneficiaries are aother indigenous communities of Lamu (such as Bajuni, Swahili, Orma. Experiences among communities in a similar position elsewhere in Kenya (e.g. Ogieks and Sengwers) are shared through the Community Land Action Now (CLAN!) network. The project is implemented by Natural Justice (https://naturaljustice.org/).
