Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.As a signatory to the Paris agreement, Solomon Islands is committed to carrying out both adaptation and mitigation activities by maintaining ETF, with a view to advancing climate action in the country. The CBIT project will advance efficient tracking, monitoring, reporting of climate change adaptation and mitigation in the AFOLU and other sectors with durable and robust interventions on coordination, and technical capacity building in adaptation and mitigation. Currently, the country has no reliable database or data-management system for GHG inventories of AFOLU and other sectors, and has limited technical capacity to assess GHG removals and emissions for complex sectors like AFOLU. Hence, it is anticipated the CBIT project will benefit the country’s social and environmental sectors by building the capacity of government officials and tracking progress against NDC priority mitigations, adaptation, and monitoring the climate finance in the country. Apart from the NDC, the project will also advance the goals and targets of the national plans and policies such as National Climate Change Policy: 2012 - 2017[1], National Energy Policy (2014)[2], National Agriculture and Livestock Sector Policy (2015-2019)[3], National Agriculture and Livestock Sector Policy (2009-2014)[4], and National Development Strategy (NDS) (2016-2035)[5]. Therefore, the major goals and activities of the GEF-funded CBIT project are highly aligned with national environment and climate change-related national action plans. This project will provide access to data and information used for multi-sector GHG inventories that contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. National stakeholders will have access to the data used for national and sub-national GHG monitoring, and will be able to monitor their performance using robust data and information. GHG data archiving and sharing with other national platforms will enhance the consistency of the data used for national climate change mitigation and adaptation, and contribute to integrated approaches and solutions.An appropriate transparency framework will generate multiple social, economic and environmental co-benefits, including human capacity, local and national institutional strengthening, cost-effective national budgeting and planning, reduced vulnerability of food systems, and resilient natural resources and ecosystems on which food systems depend. Through improved and more transparent data, the project will also support increased local, regional and national investments, and improved decision making. Activities and institutional arrangements such as required NGO and civil society representation on the PSC will ensure that the project directly benefits all stakeholders by improving the quality of information related to climate change in the AFOLU and other relevant sectors. Timely, accessible, high-quality information will enable better decision making and planning, and increase transparency to improve governance and accountability.[1]Solomon Islands National Climate Change Policy: 2012 – 2017. https://www.refworld.org/pdfid/5b430f4c4.pdf[2]Solomon Island National Energy Policy (2014). https://policy.asiapacificenergy.org/sites/default/files/volume1_solomon_islands_national_energy_policy.pdf[3]https://pafpnet.spc.int/images/articles/policy-bank/solomon/Solomons-Islands-NALSP_Final%20Draft_151118.pdf[4]https://pafpnet.spc.int/pafpnet/attachments/article/solomon-islands/National-Agriculture-and-Livestock-Sector-Policy.pdf[5]https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/linked-documents/cobp-sol-2015-2017-sd.pdfGlobal Environment Facility FAO Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Disaster Management and Meteorology CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Solomon Islands +![cdata[Energy generation, renewable sources - multiple technologies]]+ 379071.67 379071.67 379071.67 463822 FAO Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Disaster Management and Meteorology 1137215 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11079 Global Environment Facility To accelerate the transformation to sustainable zero emissions land transport sector through introduction of electric mobility in the Solomon Islands. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.In conjunction with the substantial CO2 emission reductions, a significant reduction of the emissions of air pollutants such as NOx, SOx, PM and CO will be achieved in urban areas, as electric vehicles will not generate any such pollutant emissions locally. The switch from often polluting ICE vehicles to electric will reduce the emission of dioxins and furans. Reduced air pollution will result in less premature deaths and lower costs for the health system, along with improving quality of life. Not only air pollution will be reduced, also the pollution from POPs, and thus contamination of soil and water. In addition, the project will contribute to significant cost reductions resulting from reduced expenditures on fuel imports. Therefore, the project is also expected to improve energy security, since the share of local energy resources used in the transport sector will grow and dependency on imported fuels will decrease. Since petroleum fuel price volatility is partly buffered through taxation, the project also reduces the volatility in tax income. This project will focus on batteries used for electric vehicles, including issues with respect to the re-use, recycling and safe disposal of used EV batteries. Thus, the project not only looks into the mitigation of GHG and air pollutant emissions but also anticipates emerging environmental issues stemming from a large-scale market introduction of electric vehicles and seeks to develop strategies and policies to mitigate the associated risks. This project will carry out study on the options to link-up with better integration of variable renewable power in grids for electric vehicle recharging. To that end, the project may result in additional GHG emissions reduction stemming from the possible enabling role of electric mobility for the up-scaled integration of variable renewable power.Global Environment Facility UNEP Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology (MECDM), Solomon Islands CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date ' Solomon Islands Honiara -9.43333 159.9500000 1787500 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11232 Global Environment Facility To promote a sustainable, resilient and inclusive model for the food system in the Solomon Islands, which integrates cash crops with traditional farm and landscape management systems, for enhanced environmental and community benefits Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.E.2 Socio-economic Benefits and Decent Rural Employment40 Socio-economic benefits 164.The simultaneous and synergistic generation of environmental and socio-economic benefits is fundamental to the logic of the project, as set out in Section B: the project will support the Government of Solomon Islands in delivering on its goals in relation to socioeconomic development, food security and nutrition in ways that are environmentally sustainable and that therefore do not undermine the condition of the natural resources on which their productive sustainability depends. 165.The specific focus of the project on supporting the integration of environmentally sustainable livestock development practices into diversified and well managed farming, livelihood and landscape systems, rather than solely addressing issues of production, will help to ensure that beneficiaries’ livelihoods are resilient to climatic and economic shocks and trends, and that all members of farm families (including women and youth) have reliable and equitable access to on- and off-farm income, diverse farm goods and products, and nutrition. The results framework provides for specific gender-sensitive indicators to track income and nutrition benefits, as well as levels of engagement in governance and planning processes. Decent rural employment 166.The project will promote decent rural employment by specifically focusing on the following entry points: Pillar 1 Employment creation and enterprise development Pillar 2 Social protection Pillar 3 Standards and rights at work Pillar 4 Governance and social dialogue Supporting women and men small-scale producers in accessing markets and modern value chains for farm products Supporting agribusiness and marketing micro, small and medium enterprises in accessing markets, training, financial services and other productive assets Training programmes on technical and business skills for rural people Support to employment-centred livelihood diversification Supporting MSMEs that incorporate occupational safety and health measures and provide for improved working conditions Supporting labour-saving technologies for rural poor households to reduce women’s domestic and care tasks, such as household biogas Supporting socially responsible production systems that provide opportunities for women and youth Supporting the avoidance of child labour by tackling its root causes (e.g. poverty) and providing livelihood alternatives to poor households Supporting MSMEs that comply with national labour legislation Strengthening organizations and networks of producers and workers, particularly in the informal rural food economy Supporting the representation of the rural poor in social and policy dialogue through their organizations Supporting the participation of people living in poverty in local decision-making and governance mechanisms, including the empowerment of rural women and youth Building synergies and co-learning between organizations, programmes, countries and producers E1. Knowledge management: The Country Project will collaborate closely with the Global Coordination Project (GCP) to ensure alignment with the program KML Strategy and implementation activities. The Country Project will also provide regular updates and contribute content to the FSIP knowledge portal, ensuring that its activities align with the GCP’s KML and Communications Strategies. In addition, the project will participate in learning exchanges, and twinning programs as guided by the GCP. This collaboration will require staff time, event participation, and support from multimedia and design professionals to ensure high-quality contributions to global knowledge-sharing initiatives and foster collective impact across the FSIP. Relation to the FSIP KM System: In accordance with the GEF Knowledge Management and Learning Strategy39, the Knowledge Management (KM) system of the project will form an integral part of the multi-level KM structure of the FSIP as a whole, reaching from individual farmers through communities, organizations, local markets, landscapes, national food systems, national Governments and CSOs, to regional and global markets, value chains, organizations and food systems and eventually to global policy makers and practitioners. This structure, supported by the GCP, will promote KM at different levels, of the following kinds (see Figure 2): 1) Internal recognition, valuation, adaptation and adjustment of existing knowledge 2) Internal generation of new knowledge through experimentation (double and triple loop learning) 3) Horizontal knowledge exchange, resulting in scaling (subject to validation and customization as needed) 4) Vertical injection, validation, customization and integration of new knowledge from external sources (on technical options and on context conditions at local, national and global levels) 5) Vertical communication of knowledge from practical experiences to policy and decision-makers, resulting in adjustments to enabling conditions. Fig 3: Dimensions of the FSIP KM structure 152. The programmatic KM strategy will incorporate the interlinked elements of capacity development, stakeholder engagement and outreach, comprising both “horizontal” elements (knowledge exchange among countries and actors) and “vertical” elements (inputting “grassroots” knowledge to higher level actors and platforms to influence their behaviour, and channelling knowledge on supra-national conditions down to project actors).153. Within the framework of the overall FSIP KM system, the project will participate in selected multi-country “communities of practice” (CoPs), will be established to provide frameworks for knowledge management and exchange among projects, organizations and countries with shared conditions and interests. The KM system of the project, the CoPs in which it participates, and the FSIP as a whole, will be co-designed and co-implemented, to permit the flow of knowledge between them. The GCP will support the project in identifying lessons and experiences that may constitute knowledge products worthy of communication across the CoPs and/or globally, reflecting challenges shared across multiple countries, and priority global policy issues. The GCP will also support the selection and packaging of knowledge products generated by the project and the CoPs in which it participates, posting them on the GCP platform, and pointing target audiences towards them and to help them understand the relevance of the knowledge products to their interests. The GCP Platform will also include dedicated chat spaces for each CoP, enabling members to communicate knowledge and experiences in an informal manner, in real time.154. In addition to the ongoing flow of knowledge through the GCP platform, each CoP will hold assemblies in which members will share knowledge on a periodic (ideally annual) basis; knowledge will also be shared at global level via annual FOLUR/FSIP Food Systems Assemblies. 155. The GCP will also support the effective communication of knowledge generated through the project in such a way as to influence regional and global processes (e.g. policy, legislation and governance frameworks, financial and investment strategies and farmer support initiatives).156. Additional knowledge inputs will be injected into the FSIP and the project by technical specialists from the FSIP lead agencies and partners, and qualified technical institutions selected by them; these inputs will be provided through collective training events and by posting technical guidance materials on the GCP Platform (supported by guidance to the project team and stakeholders to point them to the knowledge products of relevance to them. 157. Knowledge will also be inputted to the FSIP from global knowledge institutions such as the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT) and centres of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) such as the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), as well as the GEF Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP), and knowledge hubs such as the WOCAT Global Database on Sustainable Land Management and FAOLEX. The GCP will help support the project team and stakeholders in navigating these knowledge repositories and identifying knowledge of potential relevance and utility to their specific needs.Project KM system158. In common with the other country projects that constitute the FSIP, the project’s KM strategy will consist of the following elements: • Expert review of existing knowledge resources regarding issues, production/management systems and landscapes targeted by the project.• The provision of advisory and facilitation support to project stakeholders for the collection, organization, review and interpretation of their existing knowledge of their natural resources, trends in conditions, the nature and causality of the threats affecting them, and options for their management.• Participatory identification of gaps in knowledge and definition of strategies for the provision, participatory validation and integration of additional knowledge resources in complement to traditional knowledge, including for example suggestions of technical options for crop and farm management, analyses of the biophysical and socioeconomic processes underlying environmental problems, and GIS-based information on landscape conditions, trends and the implications of alternative management scenarios.• Participatory and stakeholder-led action learning regarding all of the processes supported by the project. At farm/community level, projects will be encouraged to promote the Farmer Field School approach, which involves people-centred learning, where participants are able to generate and exchange knowledge in a risk-free setting. This approach can also be applied at landscape level, as in the Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) Field Schools used in the GEF-6 Green-Ag project in India. Action learning will also include critical participatory review of the relevance and effectiveness of the strategies and processes promoted and applied by the projects. • Organization, presentation, application and capitalization of the knowledge collected and generated. The knowledge resources generated as described above will be used as inputs for the collective, participatory visioning and planning of the development of the target sectors, production systems and landscapes: knowledge will be presented and managed in such a way that it becomes a lasting resource that is easily accessible to local stakeholders, for example in the form of easily-understandable maps held by community organizations, and GIS resources integrated into the existing systems of local authorities. The project will establish a repository of key experiences and lessons with potential for sharing with other actors at national, regional and/or global levels. • Effective knowledge sharing will be of fundamental importance for achieving the scaling of approaches and impacts: this will be both “horizontal”, in the form of community-to-community exchanges, and “vertical”, whereby knowledge on grassroots approaches is communicated to higher-level actors so that they support scaling to other geographies and/or modify policy, institutional and financing frameworks to create enabling conditions for scaling. Where possible, existing organizational structures, that span target geographies and stakeholders, will be used for knowledge sharing, with a focus on creating socially relevant and sustainable “communities of practice” at national level. Knowledge sharing will need to be tailored to the specific characteristics, priorities and capacities of each target audience, and recognize the need for knowledge to be subject to participatory critical review and contextualization.Relations at programmatic level, with the FSIP and Global Coordination Project159. As committed to in the Expression of Interest submitted by the Government, the project will form an important and integral element of the overall Food Systems Integrated Programme (FSIP), contributing to the overall ambition of the FSIP to transform food systems worldwide. The significance of this programmatic dimension is reflected in the additional “IP incentive” funding made available to all participating projects, on top of the nationally allocated STAR funds. 160. In recognition of this this the project will therefore contribute knowledge and transformative ideas to the FSIP by linking its KM system to that of the FSIP (managed by the Global Coordination Project), as set out in Section E1 below. At the same time, the GCP will play a vital role in ensuring that all country projects receive the support that they need to be at the cutting edge of innovation in relation to the issues on which they are working, to allow them to maximise their impacts and to act as flagship “thought leaders” in their respective regions and sectors.161. This project will take advantage of the opportunity provided by the GCP, to increase the range of innovations, capacities and tools available to Government and other actors working on the sustainable development of the livestock sector. The GCP offers the opportunity to channel this support in a highly cost-effective and needs-responsive manner, for example through collective multi-country capacity development and learning events, and by brokering access to regional and global knowledge centres and experts, as well as making capacity development and technical guidance documents available in appropriate formats to diverse target audiences. Regional and global capacity development events will be organised by the GCP, while the project will cover the travel costs of national participants, and where possible cost share the expenses of the capacity development resource persons. The specific issues on which the project will seek capacity development support through the GCP will be confirmed during implementation on the basis of updated needs assessment.162. As also committed to project EoI and Concept Note, project representatives (PMU members and/or Government representatives) will also participate in the governance mechanisms of the FSIP and the GCP, including: • Potentially, the FSIP/GCP Steering Committee, in which representatives of selected country projects spanning each of the regions covered by the FSIP will participate• The bi-annual Food Systems Assembly, which will provide a channel for them to interact with diverse global food systems stakeholders (including entities, organizations, networks and coalitions representing the interests of farmers, women, Indigenous Peoples, youth and private sector), as well as representatives of other FSIP country projects, and influence the priorities and approaches of the FSIP, including key emerging issues that need to be addressed, and initiatives or stakeholders with which it should work.163.
