The development of such a system can provide primary and secondary socioeconomic benefits. Primarily with the creation of sustainable employment opportunities at a local level through the commitment to strengthen institutional memory and standardize processes. This will be achieved in the project duration predominantly through the formation of the Climate Transparency Unit under LMS. Whilst initially this will be staffed by international consultants, the handover of the role to new government employees will directly create jobs and support the career development of individuals through institutionalised roles and responsibilities as well as technical training (e.g. NDC tracking and stock takes). The secondary benefits of increased transparency for climate change reporting can be far reaching and myriad. Improved mitigation and adaptation monitoring and reporting can ensure that co-benefits are focused and prioritized as part of climate action. Enhanced coordination between government ministries, private sector, civil society, academia and communities ensures that socioeconomic benefits are brought into focus. This can include responsive energy planning, improving the national and local economies, improving the resilience of agriculture industries, improving the health and wellbeing of the population and empowering communities and citizens. The activities in Output 1.3 notably will inform and drive the implementation of policies in the areas of GHG mitigation and climate change adaptation in relation to the implementation of the NDC. These initiatives will be in line with the obligations under the UNFCCC, national sustainable development needs and the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 13 to combat climate change and its impacts. The project is also associated with global benefits through capacity development mainly in the areas of GHG inventories and emission reductions. In the absence of this project, there will be an uncoordinated approach in data collection and analysis, which will prevent effective implementation of the NDC in Lesotho. With the effective implementation of this project Lesotho will be able to contribute to the global effort committed to under the Paris Agreement.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The expected benefits will be multiple, encompassing both socio-economic and environmental dimensions. From a socio-economic perspective, the project will improve livelihoods and build resilience of communities and landscapes within the project area, through the creation of 200 sustainable enterprises, increased and diversified income and enhanced food and nutrition security. Other direct benefits include job creation and sustained permanent employment, as well as women empowerment (at least 50%) and youths and improved access to socio-economically important biological resources, such as medicinal plants and thatching grass, water and firewood. The project will support the promotion of alternative energy sources, saving labour/time, water and energy. The alternate energy sources will reduce firewood use, which contributes to soil erosion and general land degradation. The clean and efficient energy sources will reduce women's time to collect firewood. Time and labour saving climate-smart technologies could help improve the livelihoods of women. The project aims to generate more income and agricultural produce while at the same time reducing the labour burden on women and children to improve their livelihoods.The project will build the capacity of 250 stakeholders and communities in 5 districts on land degradation, knowledge enhancement on root causes for landscape degradation, and landscape management. The capacity building will empower at least 50% of women and youth to enhance the SLM and climate-resilient technologies leading to improved crop and livestock production. The envisaged collaborative planning with communities through building coalitions can strengthen social and economic development. Collaborative planning leads to developing a shared community vision, which supports social capital.From an environmental and climate change adaptation standpoint, the project will address environmental degradation, soil erosion and water retention. At least 350,000 ha (ROLL+GEF) of land will be restored through landscape management plans and improved management, including 7 500 ha of restored forest and shrub land, 7 000 ha of restored agricultural land and 335 500 ha of restored rangelands, shrub lands and grasslands. Sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices will be applied on 14,500 ha, including both cropland and rangeland, 250 landscape regeneration coalitions will be formed and operationalised to sustainably manage natural resources and climate risks, and five LDN information hubs will be established as a mechanism for sharing and monitoring data. ROLL’s landscape approach will also mainstream biodiversity conservation as well as habitat and indigenous species protection, and support the management of invasive species and the restoration of more resilient and biodiverse watershed areas for sustainable use. Landscape regeneration has significant potential also in terms of climate change mitigation. Based on analyses carried out through EX-ACT and Global livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM-i), the mitigation co-benefits, including those generated from improved livestock herd and feed management, land use change activities and diversified vegetative cover, will amount to -9 901 543 tCO2-eq sequestered over 350,402 ha and during a 20-year lifespan. This will correspond to a carbon balance of -1.4 tCO2-eq per ha and per year.Global Environment Facility IFAD Executing agencies: Ministry of Forestry, Range and Soil Conservation (MFRSC); Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Culture (MTEC); Other Coordinating Ministries: Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship (MLGC); Ministry of Water (MoW) - Department of Water Affairs; Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS), Ministry of Development Planning CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Lesotho Letlapeng -30.222930 28.123972 Ha Mafamolane -29.32166 28.51476 Majoematso -29.53704 28.53137 Lihlolong -29.72179 28.43008 Liotloaneng -29.105888 28.82534 Ha Posholi -29.74965 28.4250 Ha Khoarai -29.92323 28.92972 Ha Lebona -29.92237 28.8257 Ha Rankali -29.179772 27.963239 Ha Majara -29.95763 27.561352 Ha Seutloali -29.171469 27.953539 Lets’eng-la-Letsie (site 1) -30.3020954 28.1518474 Thotapeli -29.92196 27.501819 Thotapeli -29.85759 27.503943 Ha Leneha -29.72814 27.503807 Ha Leneha -29.74387 27.503896 Ha Tsiame -29.81924 27.545705 Ha Ntsang -29.7965 27.544724 Ha Ramaqele -29.1997 27.924367 Ha Tsimatsi -29.207881 27.908083 Ha Letsipa -29.246756 27.76707 Ha Motsieloa -29.216656 27.912608 Lets’eng-la-Letsie (site 2) -30.2937666 28.1859437 Ha Monethi -29.211283 27.863733 Ha Nkhahle -29.2373 27.995736 Ha Khohlooa -29.311208 27.705358 Ha Nchela -29.348928 27.710683 Ha Khabele -29.343253 27.729028 Ha Lerotholi -29.213111 27.826836 Ha Khojane -28.954642 28.160508 Ha Nkisi -29.114711 28.27558 Kobong -29.13256 28.27558 Ha Nkisi -29.114711 28.27558 Ha Peete -30.271859 28.144189 Kobong -29.13256 28.27558 Lejoemotho -29.82562 28.312028 Ha Mallane -29.13558 28.27576 Sebotha -29.58 28.2924 Semena -29.153906 28.27167 Sephapo -29.61290 28.31495 Ha Mahlehle -28.979167 28.315556 Ha Letele -28.972306 28.304933 Ha Lejone -29.515112 28.55819 Vuka Mosotho -29.5204 28.31264 Ha Lazaro -30.303656 28.13105 Pitseng -29.3144 28.123239 Ha Jorotane -29.32736 28.144668 Thaba-Phatsoa -28.971389 28.116978 Ha Fako -28.5907 28.6297 Makoabating 1 -29.154824 28.29779 Makoabating 2 -29.1554 28.291572 Ha Bereng1 -29.133972 28.303959 Ha Bereng2 -29.133756 28.303704 Ha Theko -29.19552 28.30576 Mosuoe -30.04496671 28.65698497 Khakeng -30.145007 28.55908 Tsepiso -30.07971279 28.65691625 Ramahlaela/ Apile -30.04915203 28.86524892 Mapakising -30.04960423 28.82762535 Makhoareng -30.03124459 28.88532685 Likileng -29.991574 28.720997 Thueleng/ Lebenkeleng -29.95438 28.74162 Sepechele -29.972086 28.872997 Ha Nkoko -30.00927751 28.30559548 Makhoaeleng -30.05080756 28.35654236 Ha Nkoko -30.00927751 28.30559548 Ha Lazaro -30.303689 28.132536 Makhoaeleng -30.05080756 28.35654236 Ha Sekake -30.04447 28.36613 Ha Peete -30.275345 28.141086 Futhong -29.5022 28.03864 +![cdata[Forestry development]]+ 649900 IFAD Executing agencies: Ministry of Forestry, Range and Soil Conservation (MFRSC); Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Culture (MTEC); Other Coordinating Ministries: Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship (MLGC); Ministry of Water (MoW) - Department of Water Affairs; Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS), Ministry of Development Planning 3502968 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10979 Global Environment Facility To mainstream natural capital into integrated watershed management through application of natural capital accounting in Lesotho. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The integration of water and land ecosystem accounts at the local level will strengthen the local community capacity for selecting land use enterprises that optimise the available local resources (soil fertility, water and accessible land area). Therefore, at the local community and household level, it is expected that individual households and communities will be able to achieve improved socio-economic performance at the farm level. The project will strengthen community relations and the contribution of women, youth and other marginalised groups. It is therefore, envisaged that the project will lead to improved social equity with increased participation of women and youth in community land use/ socieo economic enterprises. The NCA will provide information that will allow the country to implement some of its international commitments to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and the United Nations Convention on Combatting Desertification (UNCCD). Through the catchment and land use planning, and the ecosystem based approaches the country can meet some its NDC greenhouse gas mitigation targets through ecosystem restoration and management, through strengthened conservation of protected areas, and ecosystems outside protected areas, and support the agenda on land degradation neutrality. The NCA approach will provide options for inclusion of ecosystem based adaptation as an alternative to existing land use systems. Therefore, the Government of Lesotho will have clear opportunities for mitigation soil erosion, minimising the non-point source erosion flow into the Orange-Senqu River, and scaling-up efforts in reforestation, conservation of fragile wetlands. The communities and civil society/ NGOs will be able to contribute to landscape restoration activities due to the improved availability of information. The project is cognisant that the Orange Senqu River is a regional water resource, and its conservation is important for the other riparian countries Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and South Africa. The NCA will provide transparent information on the risks and contributions of the USC to the sustainability of the river. In addition to strengthening the confidence of the other countries on the efforts in Lesotho to conserve the resource, the NCA may spur additional discussions and enable additional contributions both regionally and internationally to further strengthen the efforts of conserving the Orange Senqu river and the catchment management efforts. Lesotho relies on water both an export commodity to South Africa, and an engine for national economic growth through agriculture, tourism, and industry, among others. The availability of NCA data will enhance the accuracy of the system of national accounts (SNA) and encourage appropriations in the national budget for natural capital management. Consequently, the sustainability of natural capital will be an integral component of national planning and budgeting, and other fiscal policy decisions.Global Environment Facility UNEP Ministry of Defense (MDNSE), National Security and Environment (MDNSE) Other executing agency the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRS) CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Lesotho 409513.00 409513.00 409513.00 239708 UNEP Ministry of Defense (MDNSE), National Security and Environment (MDNSE) Other executing agency the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRS) 1228539 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11210 Global Environment Facility To promote inclusive environmentally sustainable, biodiversity and climate-friendly growth of the wool and mohair value chain.  Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.We confirm that the project design has considered socio-economic benefits to be delivered by the project and these have been clearly described in the Project Description and will be monitored and reported on during project implementation.Global Environment Facility IFAD Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security Nutrition (MAFSN) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Lesotho Mokhotlong -29.287556 29.060539 Maseru -29.3167 27.4833 Quthing -30.2456484 27.42288468 Thaba Tseka -29.52204 28.6084 5329452 GEF
