coffee value chains and food systems in Oromia, SNNP and Sidama Regions Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The project is designed in line with the overall objectives of Ethiopia’s Growth and Development Plan II, in terms of which Government is committed to sustaining an inclusive and pro-poor development strategy to scale up poverty reduction and employment generation efforts, with emphasis given to engaging those sections of society that have not yet benefited from development efforts and a focus on women and youth to render the development effort more inclusive. The project helps fulfil many of Ethiopia’s policies that are both pro-growth and pro-poor, including the country’s emerging land policy, and the agriculture and rural development strategy, which promotes rural and agriculture-centred development as a mean of enhancing benefits to the people, with the woreda (district) as the principal authority overseeing rural development including agricultural training and extension institutions, and confirming the importance of enhancing women's productive capacity through involvement in production and development activities. The project’s interventions to enhance woreda (district) capacity for land use planning and agricultural (including coffee) extension, and creating business opportunities for women and youth in agricultural input supply, will help to achieve these objectives. The project will support farm households to maximize income on the existing agricultural footprint through sustainable intensification with better agroeconomic practices, as well as diversification into production of other cash crops, shifting from commodity coffee to specialty coffee, and value addition to non-timber forest products, thereby promoting rural prosperity and taking pressure off unplanned expansion into forested areas, including the valuable gene pool for C. Arabica in the coffee forests of the project regions. Promoting restoration of degraded forests and agricultural lands will help to maintain the flow of ecosystem services on which agricultural livelihoods depend, as well as safeguarding precious soil resources, globally significant biodiversity and important carbon sinks. Within each of the 22 project woredas, five kebeles will be selected for intensive support on integrated land use planning, agricultural extension support and participatory forest management activities, bringing direct benefits to an estimated 440,000 people. Indirect benefits will accrue to all the residents of the project woredas for which integrated land use plans will be developed, with capacity development interventions to enable full participation by all stakeholder groups at woreda level, and leading to better land use decisions and more sustainable land management practices, diversified income streams and higher agricultural yields.Global Environment Facility UNDP Environment, Forest and Climate Change Commission (EFCCC) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Ethiopia Addis Ababa 9.02497 38.74689 +![cdata[Agricultural land resources]]+ +![cdata[Food crop production]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Food security policy and administrative management]]+ 4068440.40 4068440.40 4068440.40 4068440.40 4068440.40 3498060 UNDP Environment, Forest and Climate Change Commission (EFCCC) 4186046 UNDP Environment, Forest and Climate Change Commission (EFCCC) 20342202 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10478 Global Environment Facility Supporting access to clean energy by increasing the financial viability, and promoting scaled up commercial investment in renewable mini-grids in Ethiopia, with a focus on cost-reduction levers and innovative business models. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The benefits of providing access to clean energy in rural areas are multiple. Access to electricity can improve socio-economic conditions through its influence on key components of poverty, namely health, education, income and environment. Electricity access provides avenues for participation in the economy, providing information access, increased connectivity and communication, access to banking and credit systems and local opportunities for skilled and educated workers. Rural electrification is generally associated with improved gender equity and women’s empowerment, creating opportunities for girls to access education and, for women more generally, improved safety and income diversification along with the opportunity to engage in microenterprise creation and other income-generating activities. Clean energy solutions ensure these benefits are achieved with limited impact on the environment and by active displacement of more harmful fuel sources. Socioeconomic benefits in turn increase local stakeholder support for minigrids, ideally creating a sense of ownership, gratitude and pride in minigrids. Indeed, the successful operation of mini-grids requires continuous collaboration between operators and end-users. In the design of the pilots under the AMP, it is important to understand not only the needs and priorities of mini-grid system operators, but also the needs and priorities of the communities in which the mini-grids will be located, to obtain the necessary local support and ensure sustainability and longevity of the intervention. The AMP is expected to yield the following socioeconomic benefit, as shown in the Project Results Framework. Indicator 2: Number of direct [and indirect] beneficiaries benefitting from clean, affordable and sustainable energy access via minigrids, disaggregated by gender and customer segment (residential, commercial and social) 31,611 people (of which 50% women) -------- 30,475 people (residential) 200 people (social) 936 people (commercial/PUE) 31,611 people (total) -------- 6,095 connections (residential) 50 connections (social) 312 connections (commercial/PUE)) 6,457 connections (total) Global Environment Facility UNDP Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Electricity (MoWIE); UNDP CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Ethiopia +![cdata[Energy generation, renewable sources - multiple technologies]]+ +![cdata[Electric power transmission and distribution (isolated mini-grids)]]+ 578165.20 578165.20 578165.20 578165.20 578165.20 156670 UNDP Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Electricity (MoWIE); UNDP 268300 UNDP Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Electricity (MoWIE); UNDP 2890826 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10683 Global Environment Facility To promote the concept of circular economy (CE) in the textile and garment (TG) sector of Ethiopia through value chain approach that addresses the sector’s upstream: resource use; green and sustainable chemistry as well as downstream by the reuse, recycling and conversion of textile/garment discards and related wastes into economically viable and socially beneficial products and services. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.As described in section A2 (Global Environmental Problem), and section A7 (Global Environmental Benefits), hazardous chemicals and wastes are released all along the TG value chain and expose TG workers, local communities and consumers. The contamination migrates offsite from the facilities through workers, the facilities’ effluents and emissions (wastewater and uPOPs), the use of TG products, their disposal and as recycled products, into the local and global environment. Through the project interventions, workers in the textile sector will be directly supported by a reduction of exposure to hazardous chemicals with initial safety measures (at least 15 facilities) and pilot projects (at least 4) that substitute or remove hazardous chemicals in the facilities’ processes. Reduced exposure will lead to increased productivity, as health impacts are avoided. The implementation of eco-innovation pilots will also deliver socioeconomic benefits. Indirectly, these pilots and interventions are expected to bring much higher socio-economic benefits to the millions of other workers in the TG sector, through a combination of demonstrating the feasibility and preferability of the reduction of hazardous chemical use, a gradual shift in perception about the risk and dangers (environmental, social and health) of continuing to work with these chemicals. Broadly, the project will result in the creation of jobs within the circular economy and encourage enterprises operating within the circular TG economy to hire more workers, conduct product innovation and ensure resilience of business models during a transition to the circular economy. First, companies will hire more workers. Secondly, product and service innovation will allow consumers to make more informed choices about their consumption of clothing and alternatives. The support for market making activities such as the promotion of POPs alternatives and the adoption of circular economy standards for wastes management provides further opportunities to afford consumers a more sustainable consumption choice. Under Component 3, Socio-economic impact assessment of project intervention will be carry out on the TG sector and value addition to national economy. The assessment will include the social impacts (e.g. health), economic impacts (can include effects on employment and jobs creation), new investments, economic growth and environmental impacts Thus, a combination of enforcement of regulations, scalable pilots and interventions, awareness raising, engagement with many different value chain stakeholders, and the increasing availability of alternatives, is expected to contribute to large scale shifts in governments, SMEs, global suppliers, global buyers, and other stakeholders’ decisions, which will also support global environmental objectives.

Table 6. Socioeconomic benefits to be delivered by the project at the national and local levels in supporting the achievement of global environment benefits and adaptation benefits. Benefits Benefits Baseline (B) Alternative (A) Increment (A-B) Global benefits Under the baseline scenario, priority actions identified in the NBSAP would likely remain unfulfilled, as gaps in institutional authority and coordination, and limited resources, would make implementation highly difficult. Institutional will, mechanisms and resources to effectively engage with productive sectors that are key for IAS/LMOs pathways would remain weak, and most IAS/LMOs management would remain focused solely on protecting economic resources with little regard for biodiversity conservation. Understanding of the potential impacts of climate change on IAS/LMOs dispersion will be absent, preventing decision makers from making effective long-term decisions on IAS/LMOs prevention and control. In the country, IAS/LMOs management would continue on a case-by-case basis, without a setting of priorities or a systematic approach, and without consistent cooperation among stakeholders or mechanisms for sharing information nationally or internationally. Protected Areas would continue to lack technical expertise or models for IAS/LMOs management. In the absence of this project, globally significant biodiversity in Ethiopia, including native/endemic species and natural ecosystems at vulnerable wetland and mainland PA sites, will continue to be threatened by the introduction, establishment and spread of IAS/LMOs. The project, which counts on financing from the GEF, government institutions will remove key barriers for the strengthening of the management of IAS/LMOs that impact biodiversity at entry and distribution points as well as high priority conservation areas (PAs) within Ethiopia. The GEF project will replace the baseline piecemeal approach with a coordinated and effective IAS/LMOs management framework for the country. As a complement to national baseline investments in IAS/LMOs policy and legal development, inspection and quarantine functions, and site-level eradications, the GoE is seeking GEF support to develop improved IAS/LMOs management systems that protect Ethiopia’s globally significant biodiversity. In line with the GEF focal area strategy for IAS/LMOs, the project will implement a systemic approach to IAS/LMOs management while also addressing IAS/LMOs in the wild species, trade, aquaculture, forest and wildlife products sectors and in targeted areas of high biodiversity value and significant IAS/LMOs threat. Project activities will be oriented towards maximizing limited national resources to address the most important elements of the threat posed by IAS/LMOs. As such, the project will place special emphasis on early detection and prevention systems, as well as the use of risk analyses to identify IAS with the most potential environmental and economic impact on Ethiopia, to establish clearly agreed priorities for IAS/LMOs management interventions. This project represents critical support at a crucial time as Ethiopia endeavours to implement the new National Biodiversity Strategy and its Action Plan 2030 (NBSAP) in line with the post 2020 GBF both for the resources and expertise it. The GEF increment will strengthen IAS/LMOs management at entry and distribution points, and high priority conservation areas, throughout Ethiopia. This will produce benefits of globally significant species and ecosystems nationally, including: mammals (75), birds (281), reptiles (14), amphibians (14), freshwater fish species (90), invertebrates species (15000), including insects species (13000) and plants species (5 568), from which vascular plants species (2 044). Ethiopia also has numerous crop cultivars that represent a resource of great importance in terms of global food security. At the site level, the GEF increment will help to conserve important biodiversity at Protected Areas, including over species of flora and fauna, including Red Book endangered species. The project also will help to prevent forest degradation and allow natural reforestation to take place, thereby adding to global CO2 sequestration capacity. The project also will produce global benefits by helping Ethiopia to implement the NBSAP, thereby fulfilling its obligations as a Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and by strengthening the national contribution to the global Aichi Targets, specifically Target 4 on sustainable production, Target 6 on marine and aquatic species, Target 7 on agriculture, aquaculture and forestry, Target 9 on invasive alien species, and Target 19 on threatened by the introduction, establishment and spread of IAS/LMOs and will provide and for its catalytic effect in bringing other resources and increased attention to the issue of IAS/LMOs knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity. National and local benefits Under the baseline scenario, efforts to guide development of targeted production sectors (aquaculture, trade, forest and wildlife products) in the prevention, inspection, quarantine and response to IAS/LMOs introduction and spread will be stymied by a lack of clear regulatory authority, insufficient technical tools and processes, poor understanding of the economic impacts of specific IAS/LMOs and the costs for different IAS/LMOs management options, and lack of partnerships between regulatory authorities and business associations and companies. As a result, the focus of governmental and private stakeholders will stay on short-term economic benefits, and import, production and distribution of IAS/LMOs in these sectors will proceed without weighing the costs and benefits of various activities. In this scenario, economic development will frequently be unsustainable and incur significant opportunity costs for Ethiopia by damaging/destroying natural ecosystem functions and values. Over time, this will represent a loss to both the national economy and to local stakeholders. The project will engage a variety of stakeholders in processes to plan for and implement IAS/LMOs management. These stakeholders will include associations, companies and individual producers in the trade, aquaculture, forest and wildlife products sectors, including importers, traders, producers, and distributors, who will be engaged in developing improved prevention and control measures for IAS relevant to their productive activities. Other relevant stakeholders will be managers of operations in these sectors, as well as agriculture and livestock producers and other residents at selected PA sites, who will be provided with training and information on strategies (biosecurity measures; replacement of exotic species with native species or transboundary movement of LMOs) for improved IAS/LMOs management in their operations and practices, as well as guidance on new regulations and restrictions relevant to their activities. Stakeholders at action sites, including residents as well as fishermen and tourism operators, will be integral to the development and implementation of Local Biosecurity Plans, as well as the implementation of various IAS/LMOs control, eradication and monitoring programs. In all of these national and local level activities, relevant stakeholders will have the opportunity to participate in IAS/LMOs planning, priority setting and management, so that IAS/LMOs management actions balance the needs of these groups and the biodiversity conservation and ecosystem functioning objectives of the project. The project is expected to yield national and local benefits by supporting the more effective IAS/LMOs management of the trade, aquaculture, forest and wildlife products sectors, as well as strengthening IAS/LMOs management for specific productive sector operations in and around high priority conservation areas (PAs), all of which are responsible for various pathways and processes that contribute to the introduction and spread of IAS into Ethiopia By reducing the impact of these sectors, through improved biosecurity processes, strengthened regulations, substitution of exotic species with native species, etc., the project will reduce or eliminate IAS/LMOs impacts that affect the social and economic well-being of Ethiopia’s citizens. For example, aquatic ecosystems are highly impacted by IAS; invasive have supplanted native fish species on which local communities depend; and invasive aquatic plant species have a negative impact on water supply, contribute to premature. accumulation of sediments in reservoirs and obstruction of water canals and water inlets in hydroelectric installations, etc., while also providing suitable habitat for disease vectors. By safeguarding biological diversity and ecosystems and their services from these and other IAS/LMOs threats, the project will add considerably to local and national economic benefits.
