Thus, the project will directly support 30-35 small aquaculture farmers through a comprehensive training program, mentoring, and grant support for development of sustainable aquaculture (Output 2.1). $350,000 of the Component 2 funding will be spent to support sustainable aquaculture practices at ~15-20 small community farms with the level of investment of $17,550/farm in average, including technical and grant support. These sufficient levels of investment will allow to achieve sustainability in community aquaculture farming and livelihood of local communities in the project sites. Additionally, the project will establish two new hatcheries for sustainable aquaculture that will be able to provide with seedlings and fingerlings as well as on demand technical training at least 80-100 small community aquaculture farms. At least 250-280 local people will be provided with fresh sea food production from the supported by the project community aquaculture farms and will improve their diet, food security, and dependence on wild fisheries for subsistence. Through the benefits provided with the National EAAM Farming Standard certification, it is expected that income of the supported small aquaculture farms will increase at least 50-60%. Project gender mainstreaming plan’s implementation is expected to increase share of women involved in sustainable aquaculture at the supported farms.Global Environment Facility UNEP Government of Palau (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Environment (MAFE)) CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Palau Republic of Palau 7.51498 134.58252 490007.00 490007.00 490007.00 147002 UNEP Government of Palau (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Environment (MAFE)) 0 UNEP Government of Palau (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Environment (MAFE)) 1470021 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11258 Global Environment Facility To promote nature-positive development, reduce ecosystem degradation, and integrate nature-based solutions into agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture to facilitate transformation of Palau's food systems Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The Project aims to provide several social and economic benefits. Socially, the project will enhance food security and nutrition by promoting local food production and reducing reliance on imports. This shift is expected to improve public health, as locally produced foods are often fresher and more nutritious. Additionally, the project plans to launch awareness campaigns and educational programs to foster a long-term shift towards healthier, locally-sourced food preferences among the population, including school children and community groups??. Then, local communities, including smallholders, will benefit from capacity building programs covering areas like sustainable and nature-positive food systems, agriculture, aquaculture, and fishing practices. Economically, the project will create new opportunities by modernizing agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries sectors, also through the development of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). These partnerships will leverage private sector innovation and efficiency alongside governmental support to spur investment and growth in these critical food systems. This is expected to increase productivity, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth. The project also aims to develop tailored financial mechanisms to facilitate investment in sustainable practices, thereby ensuring the long-term profitability and sustainability of these sectors?.Global Environment Facility IUCN Ministry of Finance (Bureau of Budget and Planning) CEO Endorsement Date ' Palau 7139447 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11517 Global Environment Facility Facilitate the uptake of electric mobility in Palau to reduce transport emissions and move towards sustainable development of the land transport sector.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The CBIT project will support Palau to meet the requirements of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) formulated based on Article 13 of the Paris Agreement. In addition, CBIT support will aid in the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the country. The CBIT project will contribute to the tracking of GHG emissions, mitigation and adaptation actions, and climate finance and support. The increased availability of data in these areas are expected to strengthen Palau's efforts to respond to the challenges of climate change (for both mitigation and adaptation). Furthermore, the CBIT support will enable Palau to identify climate related needs and provide critical information for negotiations to highlight these needs, thereby building momentum for further action. The primary socio-economic benefit of the CBIT project includes job creation and career development through institutionalized roles and responsibilities for the staff involved in transparency-related issues in the OCC and line ministries. The specific technical training, such as those conducted under Components 2 and 3, will enable the professional development of stakeholders, improving employment benefits for trained staff. The main secondary socio-economic benefits include improved coordination between government ministries, ensuring that climate change, economic, and development co-benefits are focused and prioritized. The CBIT project will strengthen the framework for transparency that can lead to improved access to climate finance and better-targeted policies that benefit all sectors of society, including marginalized and disadvantaged groups. Vulnerable populations, such as low-income households and marginalized groups, are disproportionately affected by climate change, and while they may not be direct beneficiaries of this initiative, increased transparency in climate action can ultimately support more inclusive and equitable climate policies in Palau.Global Environment Facility UNEP Office of Climate Change, Office of the President CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date ' Palau Palau 7.4864 134.4792 Koror, Palau 7.3422 134.4772 1336247 GEF
