General
Beratung kleinbäuerlicher Familien
Objectives
In der Zielregion gibt es eine extreme Grundbesitzkonzentration. Die in der Verfassung verankerte Agrarreform wird nur unzureichend umgesetzt. Ziel des Projektes ist der Zugang zu Landbesitz für landlose Familien, um gesicherte Produktionsmöglichkeiten zu schaffen und das ökonomische Überleben zu sichern. Die begleiteten Gruppen erhalten Rechtsberatung und Unterstützung bei Advocacy-Aktivitäten sowie bei agrarökologischen Praktiken. Zielgruppe sind kleinbäuerliche Familien aus den ländlichen Gebieten.
Protection against evictions and strengthening the political participation of marginalized population groups i
General
Schutz vor Vertreibungen und Stärkung der politischen Teilhabe marginalisierter Bevölkerungsgruppen in verschiedenen Städten Brasiliens
Objectives
In Brasilien herrschen strukturelle Wohnraumdefiizite. Zugunsten privater Eigentumsinteressen werden einkommensarme Familien aus ihren Wohnorten unfreiwillig umgesiedelt bzw vertrieben. Ziel des Projektes ist es, vulnerablen Bevölkerungsgruppen in 10 ausgewählten Städten Schutz vor Zwangsräumungen zu gewährleisten. Insbesondere schwarze Frauen mit niedrigem Einkommen erhalten systematischen Zugang zu einschlägigen Informationen, Datensätze über Bodenkonflikte werden systematisch erfasst und konkrete Strategien zum Schutz vor Zwangsräumungen werden erarbeitet.
Strengthening Afro-Colombian communities in a river basin in Colombia
General
Stärkung von afrokolumbianischen Gemeinderäten durch integrale Wiedergutmachung im Einzugsgebiet eines Flusses in Kolumbien
Objectives
Die Projektregion ist durch anhaltende gewaltvolle Konflikte geprägt. Dadurch sind die Rechte der Zielgruppen beschränkt. Teilweise bedeutet dies auch, dass sie ihre Territorien verlassen müssen. Das Projekt möchte daher einen Betrag dazu leisten, dass die Gemeinschaften im Projektgebiet in ihren Territorien verbleiben ihre Rechte, insbesondere Landrechte, ausüben können und respektiert werden. Dazu werden Trainings angeboten und Lobbyveranstaltungen durchgeführt.
Bottom-Up Accountability Initiatives and Large-Scale Land Acquisitions in Africa
General
The objective of this project is to test whether the Food and Agriculture Organization's Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security can help increase accountability for large-scale land acquisitions in Mali, Nigeria, Uganda, and South Africa. It will provide insight into the conditions under which international land governance instruments can be used to hold public authorities more accountable. This, in turn, may help locals secure the right to food in sub-Saharan Africa. From rural to urban In 2007, the absolute number of people living in urban centres worldwide overtook the number of people living in rural areas for the first time ever. As a result, the international development community's attention is increasingly turning urban. Yet data from the United Nations indicates that three-quarters of sub-Saharan Africa's poor still live and work in the countryside. Effective access to, and ownership over, land and natural resources remains critically important for the rural poor in Africa to be able to build decent economic livelihoods and participate meaningfully in decisions that affect their lives. Movement to acquire land on a large scale Against this backdrop, food, fuel/energy, climate, and financial crises have converged. One of the most immediate and important implications is the revaluation of land as a scare resource. This reality has driven industries, governments, communities, and individuals to acquire land at a scale never witnessed before. Africa has played centre stage to this wave of large-scale land acquisitions. Since 2006, international and domestic investors have acquired an estimated 50-80 million hectares of land in low- and middle-income countries. Research to investigate land acquisitions FIAN, the Foodfirst Information and Action Network, will implement the project. National citizen-based groups, regional and international civil society organizations, researchers, and policymakers interested in land issues will participate in the project. The research team will apply a case study and participatory action-research approach. The project is expected to generate evidence about how local residents can enhance their ability to promote more equitable, transparent, and accountable land acquisition mechanisms. Evidence for improved monitoring Project results will contribute to the UN Committee on World Food Security's monitoring mechanism. The evidence will also be shared with other relevant monitoring bodies at the national (parliamentary commissions, national human rights organizations), regional, and international levels (African and UN human rights systems).
SAVING KEY HABITAT FOR MIGRATORY LANDBIR
General
The Gran Chaco Americano is a vast, relatively flat, wooded region occupying south-eastern Bolivia, western ..Paraguay and northern Argentina. In Paraguay, it covers the lands west of the Paraguay River and is characterized ..by tropical savannas, dense thorn-scrub forest and more open vegetation in areas with sand dunes. Due to increased ..deforestation rates in the past decade, the Paraguayan Chaco is undergoing a rapid change, with the remaining ..forest patches being so small that they are essentially islands in an entirely man-made landscape. Lack of a regional ..vision regarding land use management and land protection is one of the main problems to get to a sustainable ..balance of the use of the Chaco. Many Neotropical Migrants depend on the Paraguayan Chaco during migration and ..overwintering including 14 species of Neotropical Migratory Landbirds that depend on the forests in the Chaco and ..of which several are in steep decline. Rapid action is required as a recent analysis of economic drivers indicated a ..realistic possibility that all suitable land will have been transformed for cattle production by 2025. Guyra Paraguay ..will advance long-term conservation of Neotropical Migratory Landbirds in the Paraguayan Chaco through targeted ..habitat management and protection, support for more effective land-use planning, and public outreach. To achieve ..this, Guyra Paraguay aims to: 1) improve management and effective protection of Neotropical Migratory landbird ..habitat in six protected areas in the Paraguayan Chaco; 2) assess and evaluate the impact of land use change in ..the Paraguayan Chaco on Neotropical migratory landbird species through, monitoring, data compilation and ..analysis; 3) stimulate sustainable land use and strategic land planning by working with local stakeholders ..(authorities, ranchers, land owners) and, 4) raise awareness and built support for the conservation of the ..Paraguayan Chaco and its migratory species.
