By developing a platform from where SLM may be scaled, the benefits realized at a local level may be facilitated and supported at a regional level. Socio-economic benefits accrued at this local level will be largely through the upgraded value chain, increased revenue and productivity of local land users and related enterprises through improved SLM of communal land. This will furthermore lead to improved employment opportunities, with increased revenues for individuals, as well as the trickle-down effect to local vendors and service providers.The drivers of these benefits, as outlined in projet activities, include the following:1. Training and capacity building for improved SLM on local land, enterprise development (Mentor farmers and Para-vets); financial and market navigation.2. Improved institutional coordination (community, government and private) towards SLM;3. Improved land use sustainability and productivity through land restoration activities and improved SLM;4. Strengthened land tenure arrangements;5. Improved, incentive driven, access to finance and markets; 6. Access to small-grants mechanism for enterprise scale up; and7. Partnerships developed between commercial and informal stakeholders;The activities at a local level will contribute to the restoration of 130 000 ha of landscapes through improved SLM at target sites.These local drivers of socio-economic benefits will be accrued at regional and national levels through mainstreaming of SLM. This mainstreaming is enabled through establishing the following: 8. A Knowledge Management Platform to inform evidence based SLM at multiple scales;9. A Sustainable Land Management Plan (SLMP) that informs regional SLM;10. Participatory Rangeland Management Plans (PRMP) that inform local SLM;11. The Rangeland/Biodiversity Stewardship Agreement that formalizes SLM intent;12. Training and capacity building for provincial landscape management institutions;13. Establishment of an SLM innovative finance mechanism; and14. Improved access to SLM finance through national development banks.The activities in their entirety will contribute to improved governance of 800 000 ha through improved capacity to implement improved SLM at a regional scale.Implemented SLM will lead to improved land productivity from increased soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil moisture resulting in increased agricultural production and sustainable conditions for stocking rates of livestock which will support sustainable improved/maintained output potential of land. Socio-economic benefits accrued at the regional scale will therefore be linked directly to improved SLM of communal rangelands and the upgraded value chains. Improved SLM will also indirectly link through improved environmental benefits of reduced land degradation through restoration activities. Improved SOC will contribute to climate change adaptation and an increase in soil moisture will increase drought resilience. Further co-benefits of the project will include the conservation of biodiversity, improved hydrological cycles and mitigation of climate change. Environmental benefits will be accrued through improved flow of ecosystem services which impact socio-economic wellbeing of beneficiaries from local through regional and international scales.

This project encompasses two pillars. UNEP is the implementing partner for Pillar 1 and the World Bank (WB) is the implementing partner for Pillar 2. The two pillars are defined through the following respective objectives: ● Pillar 1 focuses on strengthening South Africa’s capacity to combat illegal wildlife trade, including through building anti-poaching capabilities, training, forensic and legal support. It will be executed by the Department Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF), the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). This includes components 1, 2 and 3 presented in the UNEP project document. ● Pillar 2 focuses on leveraging financial resources to increase investment in three target protected area (PA) landscapes in order to grow the biodiversity economy and benefits to local communities. This pillar will be executed by DEFF, SANBI and South Africa National Parks (SANParks). Components 4, 5 and 6 in this CEO ER correspond to Components 1, 2 and 3 in the WB Project Appraisal Document.

The project is expected to result in more cleantech startups and SMEs being identified and supported, thus acting as a catalyst for SME development and clean technology investment in South Africa. The creation of a dedicated national platform for promoting clean technology innovation in SMEs will result in an enhancement of human capital, thereby leading to job creation and poverty reduction as well as to increased women and youth participation in the entire value chain of the project. Furthermore, new job opportunities will also emerge, as the viable clean technologies commence local production and scale up innovations. Local development and production of these new technologies will very likely result in lower costs benefiting both the technology developer and end-user. Finally, the increased use of clean technology innovations supported by the project will result in GHG emission reductions. 268. GCIP South Africa will highlight the need for stronger support at the national level for clean technology innovations and SMEs’ contributions. In particular, this project will provide added value by better bridging the gap between clean technology innovators and investors, thereby paving the way for the creation of new businesses resulting in a value added for the domestic economy. The project will forge linkages between clean technology innovators and the international private sector for investment in the subsequent commercialization of the technologies. It will also provide investors access to SMEs with attractive incentives to invest in innovation in clean technology in a relatively risk-free environment that will benefit the economy as a whole. At the same time, the growing number of participants encourages cross-country networking and creates opportunities for cooperation to further enrich the innovation ecosystem in participating countries.Global Environment Facility UNIDO Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), Impact Amplifier (IA) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' South Africa Pretoria, South Africa -25.74486 28.18783 +![cdata[Energy generation, renewable sources - multiple technologies]]+ 647305.00 647305.00 647305.00 647305.00 647305.00 459794 UNIDO Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), Impact Amplifier (IA) 471182 UNIDO Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), Impact Amplifier (IA) 424162 UNIDO Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), Impact Amplifier (IA) 1837752 UNIDO Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), Impact Amplifier (IA) 3236525 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10524 Global Environment Facility The efficient and effective management of high-risk invasive alien species (IAS) directly mitigates their negative impacts on South Africa’s biodiversity assets, and indirectly contributes to the improvement of rural food security and livelihoods Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The project will provide benefits globally, nationally and locally. This project will enhance the capacity for implementation of a robust framework to manage IAS in South Africa.

The strengthening of IAS management will contribute to the development of social inclusion and gender equality, foster clear and transparent provisions and strengthen the capacity for local communities to benefit from their biodiversity, thereby generating opportunities for themselves. This will also have benefits to the local communities immediately impacted by invasives including those deriving livelihoods from forest, fresh water and agricultural ecosystems, directly through production, or indirectly such as through tourism and ecosystem services. Additional domestic benefits generated over the baseline case will be as a result of reduced impact of invasives on economic activity. Further benefits will accrue through replication of the approaches used at the pilot sites to other sites in the four countries. The approach used in the project as a whole will also provide lessons and opportunities for replication in other countries in Africa.Global Environment Facility UNEP Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' South Africa Beitbridge -22.22 29.08 Albasini dam: -22.61 29.87 Gauteng (Gerotek: -25.70 28.56 Marion Island -46.90 37.75 White River: -25.33 31.01 Tolwane river catchment in Winterveldt in Gauteng province -25.17 27.64 Durban Habor -29.87 31.03 Mpumalanga (Mbuzini: -25.93 31.95 Limpopo (Letsitele: -23.90 30.34 OR International Airport -26.13 28.24 Tsitsa river of the Uzimvumbu catchment -31.27 29.19 +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Site preservation]]+ 200000 UNEP Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) 0 UNEP Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) 3411644 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10612 Global Environment Facility To create an enabling environment and evidence-based approach for managing the effects of human-wildlife conflict in the SADC region Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Socio-economic benefits are expected to accrue at local, national and regional level. Firstly, elephant are a key featured species in the region’s wildlife economy that manifests especially through eco-tourism activities. Effective management of the region’s transboundary elephant populations and management of human-elephant conflicts will re-inforce the socio-economic benefits derived from well-managed elephant populations. Refer to section 2.1, project document. Secondly, human-wildlife conflict in the region has been increasing and has a direct and significant impact on local farmers. The impacts of HWC are generally understood in the context of the visible evidence available, although there are hidden impacts that are often overlooked. There may at times be health problems associated with HWC, where people have to sit in small smoke-filled huts on the edges of maize fields over many nights at a time protecting their crops from maurauding elephants. There may be opportunity costs where young children are required to skip school for months to protect crops, leaving them with a poor education. Transaction costs might occur when a villager has to take time to travel to the nearest council office to claim compensation, and then have to suffer delays in getting paid out. Crop-raiding may result in a reduction in the overall food supply available to a family, particularly affecting women who may have to eat less to provide nourishment for children, leading to the diminished physical well-being of women, anaemia and poor childcare. In some cases, crop-raiding by elephants may force families to abandon their traditionally cultivated fields and find alternative means of income – followed by social ruptures like loss of kinship and family support, as well as increased levels of stress. In South Africa, approximately 30-50% of subsistence farmers and poor local community members have reported HWC occurrences due to problem animals from neighbouring PAs. Crop raiding by elephants poses an especially severe threat to human livelihoods and often occurs along the boundaries of PAs where close proximity of dense human and wildlife populations exacerbates HWC. Frequent episodes of crop-raiding are often associated with harvest time that is a critical and vulnerable period for impoverished households. Where communities receive significant benefits from living with and among wildlife, i.e., where the benefits outweigh the costs, there are far greater levels of tolerance by those communities towards damage causing species. This was borne out by Chief Joseph Tembwe Mayuni, Chief of the Mafwe tribe, Mayuni Conservancy, East Caprivi, Namibia in his comment on HWC issues: “Community attitudes towards wildlife conservation have changed since the establishment of conservancies in my region. As my people see that benefits are going directly to the community, they know it is in their interest to look after wildlife.” Accordingly, creating an enabling environment for an evidence-based approach to mitigating the effects of human-wildlife conflict is expected to improve conditions for local farmers.

This has the co-benefit of improving citizen’s health and lowering associated health care costs and potential death rates. In South Africa, up to 44 million people are exposed to air pollution from coal power plants.[1] The extraction, storage, transportation, and utilization of coal produces fugitive dust, which has been linked to pulmonary diseases. Health costs related to coal emissions will peak in 2022, at up to R45 billion in that year alone. As many as 2080 premature deaths annually were predicted due to air pollution from power plants in South Africa. Health costs can be reduced significantly by increasing the share of renewable energy utilization. From the point of view of gender mainstreaming benefits, the project will provide social benefits to the women in industrial parks in terms of new job, investment (e.g., gender lens investment principles under output 3.1.) and skill development opportunities. In addition, the project will enhance workplace conditions such as access to safer and cleaner indoor air due to integration of renewable energy. Environmental benefits In terms of environmental benefits, use of fossil fuel-based energy generation is reduced and shifts to sustainable energy solutions, including renewable energies, which decreases the demand for fossil fuels. Eventually, this leads to a reduced environmental footprint of the industry sector, which is expressed in mitigated GHG emissions (tCO2e/a) and renewable energy capacity installed (MW). In the case of water, the continuous release of various chemicals from coal mines has drastically affected water quality. This has further resulted in acidification and degradation of the water, affecting the aquatic bodies and human health[2]. At the same time a shift to sustainable energy solutions furthers resource efficiency and circular economy practices. This may also include reduced levels of pollution due to more efficient use of resources, which can have co-benefits for preservation and protection of local biodiversity.Economic benefitsSouth Africa has an abundance of renewable energy resources. Investing into renewable energy sources opens new opportunities for current coal sector employees and other job seekers. South Africa can significantly boost employment by increasing the share of renewables. Indirect benefits also include employment creation through skills upgrading and training, technology transfer, improved reputation and increased incidence of the “demonstration effect” arising from the application of best practice for sustainable energy sources in IPs / SEZs, leading to wider uptake of more efficient practices [1] ASS/UfU/IET/CSIR. 2020.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Introduction of electric mobility in South Africa, at a significant scale, will open a new segment for locally produced vehicles. This will be especially true for the Bus Industry which has a minimum 80% localisation in bus body regulation applicable. In addition, pilot demonstrations will provide a pathway for vehicles to enter the market around the globe. Secondary market for lithium ion batteries and recycling Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles is expected to create employment opportunities in the community. It will also substantially reduce the dependency of import of raw materials for production of batteries and vehicles. The policy measures will ensure safety and health of the workers engaged in reuse and recycling of lithium ion batteries and ICE vehicles. The widespread use of EV in public transportation is expected to help achieve various benefits including reduction of noise pollution, reduced traffic, etc. The transformation to EV system will result in public infrastructure and service cost savings, consumer savings and affordability – particularly savings targeting lower-income households. Increased safety and security, and improved mobility options for non-drivers too are expected benefits. Improved reliability of travel times for public transport will also contribute substantially to the attractiveness of living and the ease of doing business in urban areas. Further, air quality will be improved due to reduction in emissions from pollution sources, arising from adoption of electric mobility, improved policies and enforcement of standards and regulations. Improved air quality will reduce adverse effects on health. It will substantially reduce financial impact on economy.Global Environment Facility DBSA SANEDI CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' South Africa eThekwini -29.8579 31.0292 Pretoria -25.74486 28.18783 Johannesburg -26.20227 28.04363 +![cdata[Electric mobility infrastructures]]+ 979467 DBSA SANEDI 0 DBSA SANEDI 4713224 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11064 Global Environment Facility The project ‘Private Sector Energy Efficiency Programme Phase 2 (PSEEP2)’ aims to catalyse a paradigm shift in the market for energy efficiency lending and in turn lower South Africa’s carbon-intensive energy demand, and emissions from private sector industries. The intended shift to the national emissions trajectory will be brought about by proving the commercial viability of small-scale standardised energy efficiency lending, targeting small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Energy efficiency uptake in South Africa has mainly been limited for large projects/blue-chip companies in sectors and technologies considered easily and commercially implementable. Demand for small projects, development of new energy efficiency products and stimulation of demand for small-sized EE projects is low due to high risk associated with such projects, low return-on-effort and poor collateral. Despite SMEs being the majority of businesses, creating a quarter of private sector jobs, financial support to SMEs has been especially limited. Regulatory demands and the risk appetite of banks has led to strict underwriting criteria for the extension of credit to SMEs, resulting in majority of the bank lending flowing to large and established businesses. The programme will bridge the gap and enable financial access provision to SMEs to implement EE programmes that will reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. The project is designed to include both technical and financial interventions needed to catalyse and sustain activity to stimulate demand and develop pipeline and capacity in SMEs and financiers to promote uptake of energy efficiency measures in the country. The proposed components include – (i) technical assistance, (ii) Credit Risk Guarantee (CRG) facility, and (iii) loan and equity investments to EE projects. This project will induce momentum in EE lending to private sector companies and as proven results grow, the market is expected to take over and sustain the lending practices independently.

Women are typically the primary users of natural resources, and often the most affected by environmental degradation. Women have a key role to play in environmental management and decision-making, yet they are often largely excluded. The lack of participation by women in governance and decision-making systems weakens resource use and ecosystem management. This also has negative consequences for the equitable participation of women in the restoration economy. The restoration economy refers specifically to economic activity relating to ecological restoration initiatives, which contribute to national economic growth as well as generate a range of benefits including creating jobs, developing skills and connecting people to their natural environments. Women must have opportunities to engage equitably in all dimensions of the restoration economy, from decision-making and process development to implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Empowering women’s participation in the restoration economy requires a multidimensional approach in order to address social, economic and systemic barriers. The project has potential to support South Africa’s progress towards key SGDs through the following pathways, with global benefits: • Improving household water security (SDG 3 and 6) through peatland restoration and associated links to the allocation and management of water rights • Promoting gender equity (SDG 5 and 10) through strengthening capacity and participation of women, men, youth and marginalized and vulnerable people in decision-making and equitable benefit sharing opportunities. • Addressing unemployment and poverty (SDG 8) through creating green jobs and increasing opportunities in the green economy through creating financing and investment for peatland restoration. To upscale peatland restoration efforts, the project intends to establish an enabling environment conducive to medium to long-term investment opportunities in peatland and catchment restoration and management, emphasizing benefits to communities. This will entail the creation of technical assistance facilities to facilitate blended finance investment for South Africa's peatlands, as well as the identification and preparation of investment opportunities. To support the upscaling of peatland restoration and management, evidence of the benefits associated with these practices will be generated through the long-term monitoring of biophysical components at each pilot site. In addition, the South African peatland database will be updated, and a national peatland map produced for South Africa. From a local perspective, restoring peatlands will contribute towards enhanced water availability through the ability of intact peatlands to store water and regulate flow. Intact peatlands are also able to mitigate against flood events through reducing stormwater flows. This will reduce downstream damage to infrastructure following storm events. Intact peatlands will also contribute towards local biodiversity through providing habitat connectivity, sources of water, stopover sites for birds, and breeding areas for many species. Other local benefits include the provision of jobs through the management and implementation phase of this project as well as the postgraduate students performing research on the study sites. All job and student appointments will follow strict gender equity principles. Preventing peatlands from burning and needing to be extinguished, and preventing peatlands from eroding to and downstream flooding will avoid unnecessary costs related to disaster risk management.Global Environment Facility UNEP Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' South Africa 6653210 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11196 Global Environment Facility The objective of the project is to reduce volumes of plastic waste generated and leaked into the environment through the implementation of strategic circular interventions upstream and midstream in the plastic packaging value chain in the food and beverage sector in South Africa.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The South Africa Child Project of the GCHP aims to contribute to the overall goal and impact of the programme along with the rest of the national child projects, working in a coordinated manner under the guidance of the Global Child Project. The activities envisaged for the South Africa Child Project will support the country’s energy transition by promoting the adoption of clean hydrogen technologies while delivering wide-ranging socio-economic benefits across the target sectors.The socio-economic benefits of the South Africa Child Project include:• Capacity building and job creation:?By conducting capacity-building activities and awareness raising through national events and workshops as well as through the participation in the thematic working groups, e-training sessions, and the Global Knowledge Platform managed by the Global Child Project, stakeholders will improve their technical skills and expertise needed for the development of the clean hydrogen market. This capacity-building efforts will directly contribute to the creation of skilled jobs and improve the quality of the technical service offered by professionals in sectors linked to hydrogen production, infrastructure development, and technology management. Through the dissemination of knowledge and best practices, the project will support local industries in developing the workforce required to sustain long-term growth in the clean hydrogen economy.• Innovation and industrial development:?The South Africa Child Project will promote technological innovation by encouraging collaboration among industry stakeholders, international experts, and the local governments through the support provided for the strategic planning on green hydrogen implementation in industrial clusters or companies. Also, by participating in the Global Knowledge Platform managed by the Global Child Project, the national projects will share best practices and innovation case studies and their experiences at local level, thus contributing to south-south cooperation and exchange, which will help spur the development of hydrogen-related technologies and industries. This will open-up new economic opportunities in industrial sectors and aim at positioning South Africa and the rest of the countries as global frontrunners in the green hydrogen economy. These industries will create direct and indirect jobs, contributing to the broader socio-economic development of participating nations.• Energy security and economic resilience:?Through its focus on clean hydrogen, the South Africa Child Project will enhance energy security by supporting the development of locally produced hydrogen as a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. This shift will not only reduce dependency on carbon-intensive sources of energy and reduce the country’s carbon emissions, but will also enable a diversification of job opportunities, making the national economy more resilient to changes in the global energy markets. Increased energy diversification will strengthen national energy systems, enabling countries to better meet their energy demands while ensuring a more sustainable and secure energy future.• Gender inclusion and social equity:?The South Africa Child Project will actively promote gender inclusion by ensuring that women and youth participate in all project activities. The project aims for 50% female participation and a 20% youth participation rate in project activities where applicable, thereby creating opportunities for underrepresented groups in the clean hydrogen sector. Through the development of gender-responsive knowledge products, the project will support social equity, providing equal access to new employment opportunities and ensuring that the benefits of the green hydrogen transition are widely shared across communities.Women’s voices will be systematically included in decision-making processes at the national and industrial cluster levels (e.g., validation workshops, stakeholder engagements, pilot design), and this will be tracked through gender-sensitive indicators. Furthermore, the project’s focus on skills, finance, and new industries will contribute to expanding employment opportunities for women in hydrogen-related value chains, especially in pilot clusters like the Vaal SEZ and ELIDZ.• Health and environmental benefits:?By facilitating the adoption of clean hydrogen technologies, the South Africa Child Project will help reduce air pollution in industrial and urban areas, contributing to improved public health outcomes. Reducing reliance on fossil fuels will decrease harmful emissions, leading to better air quality and reducing health problems associated with pollution. Additionally, the environmental benefits will include the significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating climate change impacts and fostering healthier environments for the local population. This will also contribute to meeting national targets and commitments in terms of net-zero or low-carbon development goals.• Knowledge management and sharing:?The creation of the Global Knowledge Platform by the Global Child Project and the local development of knowledge products will facilitate continuous learning, enabling South Africa to access the latest research, best practices, and technological developments in clean hydrogen. This knowledge-sharing ecosystem will enhance the capacity of the country to innovate and implement hydrogen technologies, while also building a global community of practitioners. The socio-economic benefits of this knowledge sharing process will extend beyond the project’s lifespan, as the lessons learned and products developed will continue to be used by future generations of stakeholders, ensuring sustainable and enduring impacts both at national and international levels.Global Environment Facility UNIDO National Cleaner Production Center (NCPC) CEO Approval Date ' South Africa 863242 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11448 Global Environment Facility To strengthen a transformative enabling environment for indigenous people and local communities, non-governmental organisations, government, and private sector to play a positive role in expanding the conservation estate, sustainably using biodiversity and enhancing economic development in two provinces.
