Other

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.

Target Groups

It is anticipated that the project will generate benefits for 5,000 farmers, fishers, and other local community members (with an estimated 50% women, at least 25% youth), who will have access to sustainable livelihood options. This will be achieved, in particular, through the following outputs:? Output 2.1.1 Demonstration models for sustainable “Blue” food production and consumption pathways, featuring landscape concepts, seascape management, aquaculture, sustainable harvesting of in-shore species, nature-based solutions and circular economy solutions? Output 2.1.2 Demonstration models for sustainable “Green” food production, featuring landscape concepts, landscape resources management, sustainable land management, integrated farming systems, nature-based solutions and circular economy solutions? Output 3.1.3 Establish and strengthen, including training (both formal and informal), value-chains for local produce and local food products markets, including import substitutes? Output 3.1.4 Strategy for improvements of transport infrastructure and services as related to food systemsThe project incorporates specific measures to support women empowerment, as well as youth empowerment and employment in agriculture (see Annex K). Under output 1.2.2 the project will implement a program for the enhancement of human capacities including targeting youth who are currently not in formal employment but contributing to family subsistence living. Complementary measures have been included aiming at training youth, engaging them and their associations in the value-chain, facilitating their access to productive resources, credit and markets, and stimulating youth-friendly business development services.Note: FAO holds a zero-tolerance policy toward child labour. The project will ensure compliance with FAO’s Framework on Ending Child Labour in Agriculture.[1] In line with this framework, youth (15-17 years) can be engaged as beneficiaries for non-hazardous work in line with the definition of the framework. Age-appropriate job training could be provided to youth that are “Not in Education, Employment, or Training” (NEET) to provide opportunities for livelihood improvement. Before undertaking any activities that engage youth aged 15-17 years in job training or any other work-related activities, the PMU will seek additional guidance from the child labour focal point in FAO HQ.Internationally, youth is typically defined as age group between 15-24 years. In RMI, youth is defined as 16-24 years old (in the context of National Vocational Training).[2] The project will aim to collect age- (and sex-) disaggregated data where feasible.Decent Rural EmploymentThe project will support households currently involved in subsistence production only and provide options for local food production that potentially allow them to become involved in commercial activities. Hence, the project is intended to bring about positive changes for local livelihoods. The project will ensure that its activities do not perpetuate poverty and inequality in socially unsustainable agriculture and food systems. Socio-economic surveys and beneficiary surveys and interviews will be conducted by the project team to ensure that the project benefits the vulnerable and the poor, in particular.Also, as noted above, women and youth are identified as focus beneficiaries with specific indicator: 50% women and 25% youth of total direct beneficiaries at the field level.While identified health and safety risks are considered as minor, the project will ensure that adequate measures are taken to endure safety of workers and farmers during these activities (as noted in Annex I1 ESMF) aligned with FAO social and environment guidelines.Finally, through the project life-cycle, the project will apply principles, practices and techniques that are best suited to avoiding the violation of, and promoting the application of core international labour standards, other international labour standards relevant to the agri-food sectors, and national employment and labour laws.[1] FAO (2020).

Reduced Emissions from Deforestation (REDD+) in DRC - Deforestation and development with REDD+

General

The Swedish Embassy in Kinshasa has conducted dialogue with the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s National Fund for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (FONAREDD) on Sida Project Support during the period 2018-2022. Sida intends to contribute to FONAREDD with 36,580,000 SEK, with soft earmarking to the fund's integrated REDD project in the province of Equateur. The Fund currently funds eight projects, and another ten has been planned for. The total budget for all 18 projects is about 180 million USD. The fund is owned by the Congolese Government, but it is administered, according to agreement, by UNDP. The Equateur project aims at stabilizing deforestation, afforestation an improving living conditions and income for the province's rural population through; (i) Improvement of governance by capacity building of decentralized services and capacity-building by local community governance; (ii) land use planning, through development planning and zoning as a basis for land management; (iii) sustainable community-based forest management, to reduce pressure on forests and enhance forest carbon stocks; (iv) enhancement of agricultural activities and use of savannah areas through promotion of agroforestry and conservation agriculture, carried out collectively or individually by households to increase livelihoods and diversify income sources, while reducing pressure on virgin forests; (v) support for urban and peri-urban forestry for food security and the creation and promotion of sustainable energy sources; (vi) access to family planning services and nutritional services for local populations and indigenous peoples. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which is UNDP's implementing partner, will execute the project together with WWF. The project's total budget is SEK 91 450 000, of which Central African Forest Initiative (CAFI) accounts for SEK 54 870 000.

Objectives

The objective of the national REDD program in the DRC is to: (i) Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Deforestation and forest degradation, and increase the level of uptake by sinks in the forest sector; (ii) generate co-development benefits. Sweden has chosen to contribute to the National REDD Fund with soft earmarking of funds to a specific project. This additional funding has allowed for a wider scope of the project and strengthening of the project's gender equality perspective.  The specific objective of the Equateur intervention is to Stabilise deforestation and afforestation, and improve the living conditions and incomes of rural communities through: (i) Improvement of governance by capacity building of decentralized services and capacity-building by local community governance; (ii) Land use planning, through development planning and zoning as a basis for land management. Sustainable community-based forest management, to protect and enhance forest carbon stocks. (iii) Sustainable community-based forest management, to reduce pressure on forests and enhance forest carbon stocks; (iv) Enhancement of agricultural activities and use of savannah areas through promotion of agroforestry and conservation agriculture, carried out collectively or individually by households to increase livelihoods and diversify income sources, while reducing pressure on virgin forests; (v) Support for urban and peri-urban forestry for food security and the creation and promotion of sustainable energy sources; (vi) access to family planning services and nutritional services for local populations and indigenous peoples.

Resilience to child malnutrition ACF DRC 2017-2020

General

To prevent child malnutrition in Kalomba health zone, DRC, Kasaï Central, during 2017-2020, through water and sanitation, nutrition and support to livelihoods, and by mainstreaming gender and environment. Linked to a previous humanitarian support in 2014-2017.

Objectives

For more than 20 years, the security situation in the DRC has led to a multitude of successive new crises, the severity and scope of which have increased over time. This ongoing crisis has caused immeasurable human and material damage, plunging a large part of the population into a situation of extreme vulnerability. In this context, the Kalomba health zone, in Kasai Central province, experienced a massive population displacement, a significant number of protection incidents, and the destruction of socio-economic infrastructure and livelihoods. The factors aggravating the impact of food and nutrition insecurity in Kazumba Territory include: socio-economic vulnerability, new armed conflicts between armed groups and the absence of a cessation of hostilities agreement, the limited capacity of state security services to provide protection to the population, impunity and the weakness of the legal system, inter-community, customary and identity-based tensions, and land conflicts. The causes of vulnerability to food insecurity and malnutrition are complex and multidimensional. They are linked to a set of intertwined factors, such as poverty, health, hygiene, access to basic social services, eating habits, socio-cultural norms, the level of knowledge of improved agricultural techniques, the weakness of production, access to markets, as well as climatic hazards and other recurrent shocks, which result in a large number of people being in a state of quasi-permanent fragility. ACF's project objective is to sustainably strengthen nutrition security and resilience to malnutrition in communities and health system in Kalomba Health Zone in Kasaï Central province in DRC, from April 2017 to December 2020, through a gender-sensitive, community-based approach. The project is articulated along two axis: the health system and the community. It includes three result areas: (1) Structural strengthening of the integrated health system for sustainable service delivery; (2) Strengthened capacity of health personnel for outreach and sensitization through a gender-sensitive approach to nutrition security; and (3) Improved household nutritional security through gender-sensitive behavior change, access to safe water and livelihood support Given that malnutrition and WASH often correlate, the project includes substantial WASH related activities both in communities (according to the so-called "community-led total sanitation" approach) and in health facilities.
