Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.By transitioning from a mobility model based on imported fossil fuels to one based on renewable energy powered electric mobility, Seychelles stands to reap the following socio-economic benefits: · Improved public health from reduced local air and noise pollution and a commensurate reduction in air pollution associated healthcare costs · Development of new policy frameworks to underpin electric mobility is a key opportunity to improve road safety through ensuring better enforcement of existing policies as well as development of new ones to seal road safety regulation gaps · The evaluation and development of strategies to ensure non-discriminatory access to opportunities created by electric mobility will go a long way in bridging the gender disparity in mobility from employment, investment and access of services. · Reduced exposure to oil price volatility & reduced oil imports (Improved energy security) · By reducing consumers gasoline expenditures, more money will stay local and boost the local economy. This will result in new business/investment opportunities for financiers, local investors etc. · Potential to reduce poverty and inequality by providing clean and affordable transport options · Reduced congestion leading to better quality of life with less time spent in traffic and better accessibility to jobs, health care services by low-income groups.Global Environment Facility UNEP Ministry of Transport (Department of Land Transport) CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Seychelles Mahe, Seychelles -4.67643 55.47426 +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ 141238.67 141238.67 141238.67 89200 UNEP Ministry of Transport (Department of Land Transport) 69200 UNEP Ministry of Transport (Department of Land Transport) 128056 UNEP Ministry of Transport (Department of Land Transport) 423716 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10535 Global Environment Facility To conserve globally significant biodiversity through effective management of Seychelles’ Marine Protected Areas system and the promotion of nature-based solutions as pillars of the Blue Economy.

In addition, by strengthening the conservation of critical coastal and marine ecosystems, including seagrass beds in the productive seascape (in Baie Ste Anne), the project will increase the economic benefits derived from the sustainable use of marine resources such as sustainable fisheries. Project activities to support Blue Financing mechanisms, the development of Nature based Solutions in tourism and small and medium enterprises, and the adoption of more sustainable tourism practices, will provide economic / business opportunities for local residents. The project will also ensure the full participation of women and youth in project activities, and ensure their access to socio-economic benefits and opportunities generated by project activities. Finally, by stimulating recovery (post COVID-19) and growth in a diversified economy, and supporting nature-based livelihoods, the project will deliver social and economic benefits to communities living within or adjacent to targeted marine protected areas in the Seychelles, thereby contributing to alleviating poverty and reducing the exposure of vulnerable communities to climate-related risks, and other social, economic or environmental shocks and disasters.

This will collectively result in better conservation and livelihoods outcomes; · Improved access to basic goods and technical services, technology and improved agriculture practices, as well as diversification of livelihoods and marine-based products will ensure more livelihood options and better prices and income. · The focus on addressing gender inequality wherein various initiatives, such as promotion of alternative livelihood options, participation of women in decision-making and various local conservation and sustainable activities are proposed. The project envisages more gender equality in context of sex ratio, decision making powers, ownership and control on natural resources and women leadership as well as participation; · A reduction in the resource use conflicts and increase in effective implementation of sustainable resource use practices. · Incremental funding through NbS measures will protect critical biodiversity hotspots and provide for improved and diversified livelihoods and incomes and a sustainability of such investments beyond the life of the project; · Incremental funding through new and innovative financial measures will protect critical ecosystems and provide for improved and diversified livelihoods and incomes and a sustainability of such investments beyond the life of the project; · Stable or improved populations of marine species and improved marine and terrestrial ecosystems will greatly enhance visitor experiences for increasing potential for ecotourism and community financial benefit.
