Projected increase of revenue of local communities resulting from implementation of CBNRM and alternative livelihood pilot projects (Output 3.2) can be estimated in 50-100%[1]. At the same time, the project is expected to decrease economic losses from poaching, illegal wildlife trade, and habitat destruction in the project area by 80-100% during its lifetime via increased law enforcement and effective NPA co-management (Outputs 2.1-2.2). That will provide additional benefits to local communities increasing their environmental sustainability and ability to adapt to the climate change.

The Global socio-economic benefits are based following on the following considerations: Sustainable Forest and mangrove Management: It is estimated that during the project lifetime the members of the 8 COBAs (1,816 members in total) active in the protected sections of the target landscapes will benefit of the forest learning groups and procurement investments, resulting in 30,000 ha of sustainably managed and restored forest and mangroves with improved CBNRM systems. The forest users that throughout the process have acquired a greater organizational capacity and have sustainably intensified production of the project's target commodities (e.g. charcoal, bee products, wild fruits such as baobab, wild forest yam, basket works, and other identified priority NTFP during project implementation), will be supported to improve their business capacity and market access for diversified GVC commodities. The project will target women and men in equal proportion of 50 percent. Sustainable intensification of agroforestry production systems: It is estimated that during the project lifetime approx. 4,500 women and men smallholder farmers will benefit of the field learning programmes and procurement investments in the three target landscapes, and project investments will allow 7,200 ha of land to be restored and sustainably managed through climate-smart agroforestry production systems. The smallholder farmers that throughout the process have acquired a greater organizational capacity under producer organizations and an improvement in the high-quality production of the project's target commodities (e.g. rice, lime beans, Artemisia annua, sweet potato, citrus, small livestock), will be supported to improve their business capacity and market access for diversified GVC commodities. The project will target women and men in equal proportion of 50 percent. Increased skills and knowhow on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC: Approximately 4,500 community members will have acquired good knowledge and skills on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC. 60 agriculture extensionists and 40 forestry extensionists from public and private institutions and leading land users will be qualified as lead trainers and facilitators on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC development, therefore increasing their employment opportunities during project implementation and beyond. Micro, small and medium enterprise development around GVC commodities: The project will support approximately 500 local producers to become members of economically viable micro-small-medium enterprises (producer organizations and cooperatives) with social and environmental corporate responsibility, through training, technical and financial support for the adoption of improved technologies that allow production to comply with market requirements and national standards for product diversification. Local businesses around GVC commodities will include: (i) community nurseries for the production and marketing of high-quality plant material (seeds, seedlings and cuttings) and the provision of services to customers on the use of plant material in ER/SLM/SFM implementation; (ii) production and marketing of a diverse set of high-quality products of rice, legumes, beekeeping, fruit trees, aromatic plants, and renewable energy among others. The project will target a minimum of 1/3 of women among beneficiaries. Adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers and forest users: The project will enhance the adaptive capacity of women and men smallholder farmers and forest users, addressing the gender-specific adaptation needs. The project will enhance farmer’s resilience and adaptation capacity in the following way: (i) reduce the impact of climate shocks on smallholder farmers through the promotion of management practices that help compensate the effect of drought events through higher soil water availability (CA and agroforestry; less water demanding crop varieties); (ii) diversify livelihoods (food security and income diversification) through sustainable intensification of agroforestry production through which farmers diversify their production from a set of crops (e.g. mix production of lime bean + rice + fruit trees + small ruminants, with additional vegetable production on home gardens) and reduce the risk of total loss of production due to a climatic event; (iii) increase the capacity of producer organizations to preserve and process their products reducing their perishability increasing their capacity to negotiate in the market over a longer period of time without depending on the seasonality of the raw product; (iv) increase the capacity to produce high quality products with greater potential to be marketed and increase revenue that allow smallholder farmers to cover needs in times of shocks. Target 1.B in MDG 1 (“Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger”) highlights the central role of employment and decent work in achieving food security and poverty reduction, therefore allowing women and men in rural communities to have access to the knowledge and resources necessary to produce sustainably and thereby contributing to the (SDG) target 15.3 on LDN and the National FLR Strategy. The project formulation has followed the Guidance on How to Address Decent Rural Employment Concerns in FAO Country Activities to make sure that decent rural employment is promoted in the project outcomes and outputs: Table.

Specifically, the socio-economic benefits will be delivered through a complex set of activities listed in the table below: Potential ways to provide socio-economic benefits to target ecovillages and surrounding areas Investment Type Potential Activities Sustainable Agriculture · Renewal of biomass through recycling to optimize organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling; · Maintenance of soil fertility by managing organic matter and improving soil biological activity; · Minimization of water losses by improving the conservation and regeneration of soils, and water resources, and agrobiodiversity; · Erosion control measures; · Genetic diversification of the agroecosystem in time and space at field and landscape level; · Improving beneficial biological interactions and synergies between components of agricultural biodiversity, thereby promoting ecological processes and services; · Control of crop enemies (diseases, pests and weeds); · Improving the agriculture-livestock integration; and Restoration of ecosystem services in soils and forests. Non-chemical fertilizer usage Climate-resilient agricultural crops and practices Water management · Protection of sources in the protected area of ??COFAV and watershed areas that is currently being destroyed by deforestation, shifting agriculture and bush fires. This will also require, in particular improving agricultural yield in farmers to prevent intrusion into the forest that is dictated by the need to find fertile land. At the same time as this measure, it was necessary to regulate entry into the protected area and watersheds, such as social fencing of areas being restored, implement measures to prevent run-off, install non-invasive multi-story vegetation to promote infiltration, sign boarding and reduce ingress of contaminants; · Reduce water losses through the use of more water-efficient irrigation systems, better management of irrigation and maintenance of irrigation facilities, earthen dams to retain excess water and introduce cover crops. · Improvement of the soil structure by organic amendments such as manure, compost, etc.; tillage according to contour lines on gently sloping land and those that favor infiltration such as minimum tillage or zero tillage; creation of ditches, cords, etc.) along the slopes; cover crops (crop residues, mulching or mulching, etc.); choose a good stocking density for the crop; · Control of weeds; and · Installation of windbreaks.

The formalization of the ASGM sector combined with a better access to finance will have a positive social impacts in terms of job proficiency, and community’s better health impacts. The project provides beneficiaries with various benefits such as: - Improvement of the health of the gold miners and the population through the use of mercury-free technology; - Protection and preservation of the environment - Improvement of the income of the actors of the gold sector (miners, gold collectors, countries) - Traceability of gold circuits: credibility of the country in terms of marketing (legal) - Contribution to the improvement of governance in terms of environmental management - Behavioural change with respect to the environment and requires working in concert with stakeholders such as civil society organizations and mining and logging companies, - Acquiring significant support, but it is difficult to manage the requirements and expectations of each development organization. At the national level, the project shall promote the following: - Sales of processed gold at internationally obtainable prices and an improvement in the quality of gold produced in Madagascar due to uptake of mercury-free technologies and institutionalization of leaching plants which will ensure efficient and environmentally safe management of tailings. - Improved opportunities for Madagascar to compete in the global gold market especially due to quality assurance of gold processing activities that are not dependent on mercury use. - Larger opportunities for foreign investments in the ASGM sector specially based on the enhanced formalization of ASGM, access to finance, uptake of mercury-free technologies amongst mining cooperatives, etc. The fact that the country is adapting to global best practices in ASGM, and strengthening its quality assurance and control processes in the sector present wide short and long-term opportunities for value to the country’s economy, especially its roadmap for economic diversification through improvements in the mineral/mining sector. At the state level, the project shall promote the following: - Mineral buying centers will be encouraged to purchase gold in higher quantities due to the integrity and quality of gold produced and sold by ASGM cooperatives. Additionally, other individuals and entities may be interested in venturing into gold purchases from ASGM cooperatives due to the improved gold processing systems and envisaged financial benefits associated with the national, regional, and global gold markets. - State governments stand to benefit from revenue, generated through ASGM activities within their state. - Envisaged indirect socioeconomic benefits may be associated with opportunities for state government-assisted vocational training camps, focused on transferring knowledge and skills on ASGM to unskilled persons, groups, and communities. - The elimination or significant reduction in the use of mercury and improper disposal of mercury-contaminated tailings is likely to reduce contamination of major environmental media such as surface and groundwater, soil, and air. Consequently, this tends to contribute to a lower incidence and/or occurrence of endocrine, reproductive and genetic disorders/diseases associated with mercury intoxication in communities within the participating states. As these socioeconomic benefits are attained and demonstrated, the incentive to avoid mercury will become stronger: miners and other ASGM actors will be able to appreciate the clear link between increased income, improved health and mercury-free practices and products. In turn, this will provide a strong motivation to sustain a mercury-free sector. - Applicability of JA which considers the jurisdictional influences of stakeholders within landscapes associated with ASGM or proposed for ASGM pilots under the Child Project. At the local government area level, the project shall promote the following: - Opportunities for improvement in the livelihoods of members of ASGM communities are envisaged. Mainly job creation and cash inflow into communities, creating additional demands and therefore additional business opportunities. In participating states where irrigated farming is usually practiced, agriculture-based communities are likely to gain from an increase in sales to ASGM cooperatives and groups assigned leasing rights (SSML). - Agricultural communities can supplement low agricultural income in times of drought with mining income thereby improving lielihoods. In the overall, the application of SLA/JA will enable a balance of all these production systems within selected landscapes. - Better accountable stakeholder engagement which identifies stakeholder needs, expectations, concerns and suggestions especially at the community level. - SLA/JA pilots will consider stakeholder participation from communities and their roles in the multi-stakeholder platform (MSP). - Environmentally safe ASGM practices consistent with global best practices will improve opportunities for other socioeconomic developments in ASGM communities e.g. petty trading, catering, equipment/PPE sales, food vending, etc.Global Environment Facility UNIDO Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development - MEDD CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Madagascar Antanimbary -17.186634 46.857504 Dabolava -13.114447 49.341312 Lazarivo -23.909027 44.923388 Vohilava -21.130801 48.017980 +![cdata[Chemicals]]+ +![cdata[Precious metals/materials]]+ 249980 UNIDO Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development - MEDD 209472 UNIDO Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development - MEDD 4971750 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10696 Global Environment Facility To adopt integrated approaches for inclusive conservation of sea turtles and seagrasses and the sustainable management of their habitats in North-West Madagascar.

The staff of the FOFIFA Kianjavato Research Centre are trained and equipped to improve the conservation and management of genetic resources of wild/commercialized Coffea species and varieties and other targeted agriculture crop species and varieties, and increase the production of seeds and seedlings accessible to PA managers, decentralized forest services, COBA, RAG and forest and farm producers in the target landscapes. ? Two PhD students will develop research to improve knowledge about the conservation status and genetic diversity of wild Coffea species with the objective to improve conservation/restoration of natural habitats and develop climate-adaptive, and economically beneficial commercial hybrids. ? Around 600 VC actors (cooperatives, equipment/input suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, hotels, restaurants, tour operators, exporters, end-market buyers) have increased their knowledge about VC functioning, actors and linkages, their commercial collaborations, and access to ethic/green certification market segments. ? Around 60,000 people will benefit from the policy development and resposnsible tenure governance improvements leading to SNRM, BD conservation, forest/land restoration, and SVC development. The Global socio-economic benefits are based following on the following considerations: ? Forest restoration and adaptive forest management: It is estimated that during the project lifetime the members of the 32 COBAs and RAGs (about 1,600 members in total) with management transfer rights in designated forest areas in/around protected areas in the target landscapes will benefit of continuous ER and FFBI learning and technical support, and procurement investments, resulting in 5,000 ha of restored natural forests, and 5,000 ha of restored agroforestry systems under responsible tenure governance. The forest users that throughout the process have acquired a greater organizational capacity and have sustainably intensified production of the project's target commodities (e.g. firewood/charcoal, bee products, wild silk, basketry, and other prioritized NTFP during project implementation), will be supported to improve their organizational and social/environmental responsible business capacity to intensify/diversify the production of high-quality products, to enhance access to ethical/green certification market segments, and develop contract farming agreements with domestic and international buyer companies operating in these markets and the eco-tourism sector. The project will target women and men in equal proportion of 50 percent. ? Sustainable intensification of coffee agroforestry and diversified rice production systems: It is estimated that during the project lifetime approx. 35,000 women and men smallholder farmers and forest users will directly and indirectly benefit of continuous FFS/FBS/FFBI learning and coaching, and procurement investments in the target landscapes, resulting in 5,000 ha of sustainably intensified shade coffee intercropping plantations, 20,000 ha of sustainably intensified rice/legume diversified production systems under SRI/SRA/CA, and 10,000 of degraded forest and agroforestry land restored. The project will enhance the organizational and business development (with social/environmental corporate responsibility) capacity of the targeted coffee and rice producer organizations, cooperatives and SME, so that they can access to ethical/green certification market segments, and develop contract farming agreements with domestic and international buyer companies operating in these markets. The project will target women and men in equal proportion of 50 percent. ? Increased skills and knowhow on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC: Approximately 35,000 community members will have acquired good knowledge and skills on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC. About 280 extension providers from the public deconcentrated agriculture/forest technical services, NGOs, COBA/RAG, private organizations and women/men lead farmers and forest users will be qualified as lead trainers and facilitators on ER/SLM/SFM/GVC development, therefore increasing their employment opportunities during project implementation and beyond. ? Micro, small and medium enterprise development around ethic/green VC commodities: The project will support approximately 5,000 farm and forest producers to become members of environmentally sound, social beneficial and economically viable POs, cooperatives and/or SME, through training, technical and financial support to operate according to ethical employment standards and healthy/quality/certification standards, and to adopt innovative production/processing/marketing technologies that allow an increase and diversification of high quality production complying with national/international certification standards. Local businesses around GVC commodities will include: (i) community nurseries and seedbanks for the production and marketing of high-quality plant material (seeds, seedlings and cuttings) and the provision of services to customers on the use of plant material in ER/SLM/SFM implementation; (ii) COBA/RAG community organizations for the production and marketing of firewood/charcoal and NTFPs (ecotourism); (iii) POs, cooperatives and SME for the production and marketing of high-quality products from coffee, fruits, rice, legumes, and other complementary crops. The project will target a minimum of 1/3 of women among beneficiaries. ? In terms of access to international market segments around ethic/organic certification, the project PPP contract farming agreements between landscape coffee producers and processors and international buyers (mainly SFCC members involved in ethic/green/specialty coffee products) will help increase the country’s current coffee export records by 10 % by project’s closure (from around 2 300 MT as average over the last 5 years[1] to about 2 500 MT in Y5). In the same way, no less than 30% of supplies originating from the project and traded on the domestic market will carry, by project’s end (Y5), a certification logo that producers will obtain after compliance with the introduced Participatory Guarantee Schemes’ (PGS) practices/dictates. ? At least 50% of targeted farmers and forest users will double their income by the end of the project, thanks to the sustainable intensification and production diversification interventions. ? Adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers and forest users: The project will enhance the adaptive capacity of women and men smallholder farmers and forest users, addressing the gender-specific adaptation needs. The project will enhance farmer’s resilience and adaptation capacity in the following way: (i) reduce the impact of climate shocks on smallholder farmers through the promotion of infrastructures, equipment and management practices that help compensate the effect of drought and flood events through improved soil water conservation (SRI/SRA/CA and agroforestry management systems; water harvesting/storage infrastructures/equipment, less water demanding crop varieties); (ii) diversify livelihoods (food and economic security) with reduced risk of total production loss due to extreme climate events, involving the sustainable intensification of shade coffee intercropping (mix production of coffee, fruits, tuber roots and vegetables) and the diversification of rice/legume farm intercropping/rotation and tree-crop-livestock systems (e.g. rice, legumes, fruits, small livestock, home gardens); (iii) increase the capacity of producer organizations to preserve and process their products reducing their perishability increasing their capacity to negotiate in the market over a longer period of time without depending on the seasonality of the raw product; (iv) increase the capacity to produce high quality ethic/green products with greater potential to access new and more stable growing market segments (e.g. organic and fair trade) and increase revenue that allow smallholder farmers to cover needs in times of shocks. Target 1.B in MDG 1 (“Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger”) highlights the central role of employment and decent work in achieving food security and poverty reduction, therefore allowing women and men in rural communities to have access to the knowledge and resources necessary to produce sustainably and thereby contributing to the SDG target 15.3 on LDN and to AFR100 (National FLR Strategy). The project formulation has followed the Guidance on How to Address Decent Rural Employment Concerns in FAO Country Activities to make sure that decent rural employment is promoted in the project outcomes and outputs: Table. The Four Pillars of Decent Rural Employment (DRE) in the project Pillar 1: Employment creation and enterprise development ? Component 1will address explicitly policies, regulations and bylaws supporting zero-deforestation and BD conservation in the implementation of ER/SLM/SFM/GVC development. ?

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The design of the child project has explicitly incorporated considerations of socio-economic benefits, clearly articulated within the project description. These benefits will be systematically monitored, evaluated, and reported during the Mid-Term Review (MTR) and Terminal Evaluation Report (TER). The project is strategically designed to deliver significant socio-economic benefits for the population of Toamasina, particularly targeting vulnerable and marginalized groups. Key socio-economic benefits include enhanced urban resilience, improved livelihoods, increased employment opportunities, and strengthened local governance capacity. Through targeted interventions, such as the establishment of smart infrastructure and the promotion of green economic activities, the project aims to substantially reduce vulnerabilities, especially among informal communities prone to climate risks. Economic opportunities generated through pilot investments in sustainable infrastructure, including waste-to-energy solutions, will specifically support job creation and economic inclusion for women and youth. Additionally, innovative financing mechanisms and capacity-building initiatives will directly benefit local enterprises, particularly micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), facilitating their participation in new economic sectors such as recycling, renewable energy, and digital services. Enhanced digital governance platforms and participatory urban planning processes will amplify the socio-economic voice and decision-making capacities of previously marginalized groups, particularly women. By actively addressing digital divides, the project ensures broad-based inclusion and equitable access to project benefits, furthering social cohesion and community empowerment. Investments in essential urban services, such as improved waste management, sanitation, and public transport infrastructure, will notably elevate public health outcomes and quality of life for residents. Reduced pollution, strengthened environmental standards, and upgraded living conditions within informal settlements are anticipated to deliver tangible improvements in public health, community well-being, and overall urban sustainability. To ensure accountability and continuous improvement, socio-economic impacts will be rigorously tracked through clearly defined, sex-disaggregated, and context-sensitive indicators integrated into the project’s Monitoring and Evaluation framework. Reporting at key project milestones, including the MTR and TER, will comprehensively evaluate socio-economic outcomes, providing essential feedback for adaptive management and sustained benefit delivery throughout the project lifecycle.Global Environment Facility UNIDO Ministere de L'Environnement et du Developpment Durable CEO Endorsement Date ' Madagascar Toamasina -18.1497 49.4056 10305442 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11364 Global Environment Facility To address marine hypoxic zones by curbing coastal pollution from agriculture, industrial and municipal sources in Madagascar through policy and regulatory measures and infrastructure investments combined with nature-based solutions”.
