Benefits 1. The project will directly benefit approximately 20,000 smallholder farmers, livestock herders, and forest users. As noted, these persons are highly reliant upon riverine ecosystems and associated benefits. Intact riverine forests are invaluable in terms of flood and erosion mitigation. These ecosystems are also critical in terms of provisioning fuelwood and NTFPs. Riverine forests provide habitat for a host of species and important nurseries for fisheries upon which many local residents rely for subsistence and commerce. Importantly, riverine ecosystems offer potential to provide local residents and livelihoods to greater resilience to climate change. 2. The livelihoods of these producers are currently at risk and are further threatened by the sustained trend in deforestation, land degradation, decreasing agriculture and livestock productivity, decreasing water availability, climate change, loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services all leading to deteriorating living conditions and wellbeing of local communities. The project will reverse this trend by providing rural smallholders with the opportunities to access knowledge, information, capacity and experience to adopt improved practices. These practices will result in GEBs, but also increased the standards of living, food security, and climate change resiliency of these at-risk rural dwellers. 3. The top priority to re-engineer the social contract between forest managers and communities, according to the respondents to the household survey conducted during the PPG phase, is creating a strong incentive for local communities to be part of the solution towards establishing a co-management approach of the riverine landscape. Doing so entails supporting local communities to generate alternative income streams through the sustainable valorization of biodiversity-based products, with a special focus on women and girls’ empowerment as explained in details in the Gender Action Plan. By improving productive practices and enabling a better valorization of natural resources along local value chains, with increased livelihoods and income, the project is expected to have knock-on impacts in terms of economic development and associated increases in employment opportunity. 4. At the governance level, national benefits will accrue to a variety of agencies. This will include the ability to more efficiently and effectively address deforestation issues. The results of more integrated and collaborative approaches to biodiversity conservation will also increase the cost-effectiveness of current divergent investments in a context of financial scarcity post COVID-19. These investments and associated human resources will be harmonized to directly address degradation and increase synergistic responses. This will include capacity building, limited supply of better equipment, and access to knowledge and capacity based upon best international and regional principles and practices.Global Environment Facility FAO National Forestry Corporation, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Sudan +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ 517945.20 517945.20 517945.20 517945.20 517945.20 786880 FAO National Forestry Corporation, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry -139038 FAO National Forestry Corporation, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry 2589726 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10479 Global Environment Facility Enhance Sudan’s human and institutional capacities in the area of transparency, according to the decisions of Paris Agreement on Climate Change Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.This project contributes to Sudan’s commitments under the UNFCCC to enable the country to address climate change considerations (mitigation of GHG emissions, assessment of vulnerability of key sectors to climate change, formulation of climate-resilience strategies). Several elements of the project promote good governance benefits to the country. First, the project will promote institutional coordination efficiency by building on work that has already been done to establish a legislative and regulatory framework for transparency. Second, the project will reduce the cost of key analytical work over time by increasing the capacity of experts in Sudan to conduct key analyses (e.g. damage and loss estimates and cost-benefit analysis for greenhouse gas mitigation policies and measures) rather than relying on international experts. Third, the project will reduce costs and increase efficiency over the long term by generating data and knowledge that can be used to inform climate change policy-making. More robust projections and economic analyses will provide policy-makers in Sudan with the information necessary to optimize mitigation and adaptation policies supported by empirical data. Taken together, these elements will yield global environmental benefits through promoting transformational change by integrating transparency objectives in national reporting; introduction of methods and tools in support of the delivery of global benefits; and improved mechanism for managing information and knowledge.The following table illustrates the estimated number of stakeholders from different institutions participating in the project. The number of beneficiaries was determined by a 2-step process. First, the role of each stakeholder institution was evaluated relative to the intersection of CBIT project scope and stakeholder interests.

Through the “solar sister” programme this project will train women in the local communities where the pilot projects will be executed in the design, operation and maintenance of solar PV minigrids. This will result in increase literacy within these communities and a more gender-balanced context § Clean energy. Through the reduction of diesel consumption the local communities and Sudan as a whole will be positively impacted in the CO2 emissions § Job creation. The project will create jobs for women and men in both, the local targeted communities, but also at the national level through the various activities planned. For more information on the number of jobs the results project framework provides information § Knowledge. As a result of the various technical assistances and interventions, and starting from the Executing Agency to the end-users the project will be a platform where knowledge about minigrids and rural electrification will be at the forefront § Digitalization .
