Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.99. (Prodoc §105-§106) The Project will deliver social, economic and environmental benefits as a result of the envisioned technical assistance activities and the proposed minigrids pilots, which directly contributed to SDG-7 (affordable and clean energy); and SDG-12 (climate action). These include: (a) direct energy savings (MWh) from replaced fossil fuel-based electricity suppliers under the business as usual scenario and associated costs savings (USD); (b) reduced emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from fossil sources (diesel); and Other Atmospheric Contaminants (OACs) from fossil fuels and traditional biomass (fuelwood and charcoal) in indoor spaces, which reliefs public health risks associated with baseline emissions; (c) development of innovative businesses contributing to economic growth and job creation; (d) enhanced quality and user experiences for household and business minigrid end-users; and (e) social and human capital development. 100. Aspects such as impact on public health and business, employment and national income generation will expectedly be assessed through the AMP's Communities of Practice, as inputs for the national policy. A direct metric for economic benefits is obtained from the avoided costs of imported fossil fuels for electricity generation. Assessments shall differentiate according to gender, income level or business type.101. For rural and currently unserved population, electric lighting and appliances create time-flexibility enabling people to deploy more income-generating activities during the day while additional opportunities may be created in evening hours. Electricity also contributes to building human and social capital by facilitating children to do homework after sunset; equally youngsters and adults can take benefit to acquire new skills; women in particular can benefit if electricity effectively reduces care-taking and household chores which traditionally rely on them. Electricity is further an enabler for accessing information both for leisure and commercial purposes, including access to market data for local produce, public information campaigns related to health, disaster prevention, awareness about protection of the local environment and natural resource base, and more. Access to information can help empower rural people to become full citizens and have their voices and needs reflected in public policies and plans. As such, the Project indirectly contributes to sustainable development in Benin, specifically as reflected by SDG-1 (no poverty), SDG-3 (health and well-being); SDG-4 (quality education); SDG-5 (gender equity); SDG-6 (clean water and sanitation); and SDG-8 (decent work and economic growth).[1]984. 102. The lifetime greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction from project activities is estimated at approx. 9,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2eq) (direct) and 180,000 tCO2eq (indirect). The number of direct beneficiaries is estimated at 12,000 people, of which at least 50% are women, as a result of 2,400 new and/or improved minigrid connections.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.By restoring 20,000 ha of degraded agricultural land using best agroecological practices, and ensuring sustainable land management over 135,900 ha, the proposed project will directly beneficiate 36,000 people – through trainings in FFS, FBS and FPS – and indirectly about 356,410 people living in or around the target communes[1]. These people will benefit from enhanced ecosystem goods and services produced by restored sustainably managed land, such as access to fodder, water and soil fertility. They will be protected against further climate change impacts, like desertification, soil erosion and floods, which are emphasised by slash-and-burn agriculture and land clearing. Increased cash flow can also be expected for the project beneficiary communities. This will be achieved by boosting the production of sustainable food crops, with high demand in the sub-region. Furthermore, additional technical support on rural entrepreneurship (i.e. cooperatives, clusters), improvements in financial literacy and business skills, will improve management at the farm level while facilitating access to financial services that can support investments in sustainable VCs. Additional support for sustainable processing and transformation of agricultural buy-products will ensure added value of agriproducts from farm businesses.The project is expected to deliver a range of nutritional benefits:- Improved soil health for nutrient-rich crops: enhancing soil fertility through agroecological practices such as composting, intercropping with nitrogen-fixing plants, and using organic fertilizers. Healthier soils often result in more nutrient-dense crops, increasing the micronutrient content of rice and maize.- Diversified cropping system around rice and maize: encouraging small-scale intercropping of nutrient-dense legumes (e.g., beans) or green leafy vegetables alongside rice and maize. This not only enhances soil health but also provides additional sources of essential nutrients for the community.- Reduction of post-harvest losses: ensure that post-harvest handling of rice and maize is improved through agroecological methods, such as the use of sustainable storage technologies. Reducing losses can improve food security and ensure that nutrient-rich grains are available year-round.Target support will also be provided to selected VC actors to pilot a certification model that ensure maize and rice products meet the quality and environmental demands on regional markets, and increase their market access. Business relationships will be fostered by means of clusters and a market information system, to facilitate sales, thereby increasing farmers’ income, which can be reinvested in sustainable agricultural VCs. Increased yields and improved product quality, which leads to enhanced income, will directly result from the implementation of sustainable land management practices in fields and in the surrounding protected areas. Positive impacts on agricultural yield quantity and quality will incentivise farmers to sustainably manage their land and reduce any negative environmental externalities.To tackle the challenges linked to an open regional market under the WAEMU and the strong competition brought by Asia-produced rice against local production, the project will produce studies and launch dialogues in the sub-region to influence changes in the existing trade and fiscal policies in favour of sustainably produced crops. Likewise, a cost-benefit study on the tax exemption and subsidy system in Benin will be conducted to recommend changes that incentivise investments in sustainable VCs. By promoting improved livelihoods for the communities located in the target areas and generating a wealth of best practices to scale up sustainable models, the proposed project will support the sustainable management of food production systems in the long-term; this will be reinforced by mobilising public and private finance and improving the regulatory frameworks to continuously promote sustainable VCs.[1] Calculated based on the population relying on agriculture in the five target communes, see Table 3.Global Environment Facility FAO Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Benin CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date ' Benin Aguégués 6.462 2.51945 Kétou 7.45 2.626 Glazoué 8.174 2.233 Karimama 11.93816 2.75703 Malanville 11.66636 3.26373 5966207 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11289 Global Environment Facility Promote integrated, climate-resilient urban development by restoring ecosystems, expanding green–blue infrastructure, and advancing inclusive, low-carbon mobility—as a child project under the GEF-8 Sustainable Cities Integrated Program (SC-IP).
