<narrative>Land and natural resource degradation neutrality and community vulnerability reduction in selected Miombo and Mopane Ecoregions of Angola (Okavango and Cunene river basin)</narrative> Project Objective: To initiate a transformational shift towards sustainable, integrated management of multi-use dryland landscapes in the Miombo-Mopane ecoregions of Angola (Okavango and Cunene river basins) based on Land Degradation Neutrality principles Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. 1. Benefits407. The project will work towards the implementation and mainstreaming of sustainable and integrated approaches to the management of dryland landscapes and decision-making regarding land-use in selected landscapes in Angola. By scaling-up SLM and SFM best practices in priority landscapes in the south of the country, the project will have a transboundary focus and impact (Cunene basin) complementing existing interventions, which will in turn contribute to the achievement of both the project and the Impact Program main objectives. The strengthened national policy and capacity on LDN and the empowerment of stakeholders on SLM/SFM/LR/IWRM planning and implementation in combination with the establishment/strengthening of inclusive dryland commodity value chains will have a positive impact beyond the target landscapes.408. Global benefits from the project’s successful implementation will include: · The project will apply the LDN response hierarchy to 633,278 hectares of production systems located within the two target landscapes that cover 1.3 million hectares of Miombo-Mopane woodlands. · Carbon benefits: Through the land management strategy mentioned above, the project will both sequester carbon and avoid emissions in the AFOLU sector, totaling 1,047,911 tCO2-eq.· Co-benefit of GEF investment: At least 2,000 households, comprising approximately 10,000 individuals, will benefit directly from the GEF investment within the two project landscapes. 409. Project activities will focus on enhancing key stakeholders’ capacity for handling spatial data, develop strategic partnerships, mobilizing finance, and conceiving projects, all related to SFM/SLM practices, creating conditions for collaborative landscape management. The project expects to train approximately 2000 land users in multiple locations across the landscapes of southern Angola (targeting at least 35% are women) with focus on skills development for SLM/SFM practices through the Farmer Field Schools and Forest Farm Facility approaches as applicable. Within the landscapes, the project expects to engage with 10,000 local stakeholders at the level of households. Efforts will be made to enlist the participation of female-headed and dual-headed households at higher rate than male-headed households (target 65% for female plus dual)410. SFM/SLM practices mainstreamed in the country: Principles and evidence-based best practices of SFM/SLM will be disseminated among project beneficiaries, including local communities and national institutions. By implementing activities related to it, the project will be able to reduce key policy barriers currently challenging the country’s enforcement to prevent causes of land degradation and will bring a positive long-term impact on a part of Angola where LD is the most critical issue.411. GreenValue chain development:The project foresees the strengthening of viable and sustainable promising value chains identified during the PPG process. Producer organizations will be able to participate in capacity building activities, as well as have access to finance and market mechanisms which will allow their business to develop. Therefore, it is also foreseen that the project, by contributing to the productivity and sustainability of agricultural practices and green value chain development, has the potential for indirectlycontributing to long-lasting improvement of livelihoods and food security, particularly in direct beneficiary communities of the demonstration landscapes.

<narrative>Integrated conservation of the Maiombe forest ecosystem in Cabinda Province Angola</narrative> Project Objective: To improve conservation, ecological integrity and effective governance of the Angola Maiombe Forest ecosystems, whilst fostering resilient livelihoods and multi-level stakeholder engagement for sustainable development Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Socio-economic Context:The Maiombe forest area in Angola has significant social, cultural and historical importance. The population size within the MNP area is estimated at 56,000 people (51% women), comprised mostly of descendants of the indigenous population. Most of this large population is unemployed and subject to extreme poverty, following decades of armed conflict, and relies mainly on unsustainable use of natural resources for its livelihood, including unsustainable (slash-and-burn) cultivation practices. The livelihoods of the local communities in the MNP area are based mostly on subsistence cultivation, hunting, fishing, logging, and small-scale husbandry. More than half of the families in the MNP area engage in household cultivation for subsistence and small-scale local commercial use. The cultivation practice mostly used is the destructive slash-and-burn practice. Crops are used mostly for subsistence and small-scale commercial purposes. Limited engagement in small-scale artisanal mining was also reported. The water resources are essential for the communities’ survival, however, they are subject to pollution through poor waste management. The MNP area is shared between 3 Municipalities in Cabinda Province – it covers all the area of the Municipality of Belize, most of the area of the Municipality of Buco-Zau, and a small area in the Municipality of Cacongo. A large part of the population living now in the MNP has been residing there for generations before the Park was gazette. The main ethnic groups of the population residing in and around the MNP area are Ibinda, Balinji, Bassundi, and Yombe. Cultural, lingual, and ethnic affiliation between local communities in most of the southern part of the forest in Angola, Congo and DRC, increase the potential for cross-border collaboration.Socio-economic benefits:The project is expected to result in significant socio-economic benefits for local community members residing in the Angolan Maiombe landscape, in and around the MNP.The Angolan Maiombe forest landscape has significant social, cultural and historical importance. An estimated population of 56,000 people resides in and around the MNP, in the Maiombe forest landscape in Cabinda Province, Angola. Most of this large population is unemployed and subject to extreme poverty, following decades of armed conflict, and relies mainly on unsustainable use of natural resources for its livelihood, including unsustainable (slash-and-burn) cultivation practices. Extensive stakeholder consultations were held with local communities and other local stakeholders in the Maiombe forest landscape, throughout the development of the MNP management plan, which formed a basis for the design of this project’s interventions, in particular at the local level. The local communities in this landscape were subject to decades of armed conflict and extreme poverty and their main livelihoods are to a large extent still reliant on unsustainable use of the natural forest resources. Communities consulted and their traditional leadership have expressed their will to receive capacity support to help them shift to sustainable practices and livelihood opportunities and to participate in forest protection and biodiversity conservation. They indicate Human-Elephant-Conflict and improved access to basic services, including education, and employment opportunities, as the highest priorities. These priorities will be addressed by the project.Through improved conservation of the Angolan Maiombe forest landscape, the project will contribute to the well-being of the human population residing in this landscape, through improved climate security, water security, health, improved opportunities for food security through sustainable natural resource management and reduced health hazards and vulnerabilities.Moreover, the project activities are aimed at producing direct socio-economic benefits to the resident population. The project aims to benefit directly at least 2,650 (1,250 women, 1,2500 men and 150 youth, at least 30% female) local community members, through improved practices and engagement in resilient and sustainable livelihoods. Moreover, the project aims to benefit indirectly at least 8,500 community members (around 15% of the population, with around 50% female) by disseminating the improved practices and sustainable livelihoods in the population through the "Train the Trainers” approach. In the long term, the whole population of local communities residing in and around the MNP is expected to benefit from sustainable practices that will be initially supported through this project.In particular, Component 2 of the project is aimed at improving the conservation of the Angola Maiombe landscape, through stakeholder engagement and empowerment, with a focus on empowering local communities to engage in forest conservation and sustainable management, based on strategic and spatial participatory planning. Interventions under this component include participatory integrated resource and land use planning; conservation agreements; strengthening capacity of community structures for effective local-level forest governance and sustainable utilization and management of natural resources; support for establishing resilient and sustainable livelihoods, and for addressing HWC (with a focus on HEC mitigation), through a holistic approach. The long-term sustainability of local forest governance and management structures will be further strengthened through youth engagement.Specific interventions under this component will facilitate local stakeholders' engagement in forest conservation by mitigating threats related to the unsustainable use of natural resources, through building capacities (including the provision of basic equipment and supplies) to shift to sustainable livelihoods, practices and income-generating activities. Specific interventions for this effect will be selected through in-depth participatory consultations through coordination and collaboration with existing initiatives, and assimilating lessons learned elsewhere. Such sustainable activities may include, e.g.: agroforestry and conservation cultivation; beekeeping; small livestock sustainable husbandry (e.g., cane rats); indigenous tree nurseries; Non-Timber-Forest-Products (NTFPs) sustainable use, etc. Capacity building and basic equipment and supplies will also be provided to support HWC mitigation, and in particular to mitigate human-elephant-conflict (HEC), which is a major concern of the local communities in the Angolan Maiombe landscape, through a holistic approach and in collaboration with existing initiatives. Gender and inclusion considerations will be integrated into the implementation of these activities.Interventions under this component will also include the updating/development and implementation of community-based disaster preparedness plans and early warning systems to mitigate the impact of natural disasters and climate-related hazards on agricultural production and supply chains reviewed, assessment of local commodity supply chains, support for local gender-responsive and resilient value chains to enhance community capacities (e.g., with equipment, alternative livelihoods, green financing products, including Green Insurance Products etc.) whilst partnering with the private sector, and the development of a Business Case for Investment in Adaptation and Resilience for the Angola Maiombe Landscape. Engagement of the local communities in innovative financing mechanisms, such as carbon credits, conservation bonds, FSC Ecosystem Services verified impact income and other payment for ecosystem services (PES) mechanisms.The project will also support capacity building and engagement of 30 Community Forest Scouts (15 women and 15 men) to work in collaboration with the MNP staff, engage in education, raise awareness, and data collection, and act as liaison agents between the communities and the MNP and related authorities. To enable the long-term sustainability of this intervention the project will seek partnerships and opportunities for permanent funding of the Community Forest Scouts engagement.The project will further support, through Component 1, the mainstreaming of gender and local communities' inclusive access and rights for the sustainable management of natural resources, in national and provincial policies and legislative frameworks.

<narrative>Sustainable aquaculture in the northern region of Angola</narrative> Inland aquaculture (freshwater, both commercial and non-commercial) in Angola, has been transformed from a low productivity value chain with high environmental externalities to a productive, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable system generating social and economic benefits for Angola. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.E.2 Socio-economic Benefits and Decent Rural Employment[1] The rural sustainable community project will bring about several socioeconomic benefits at both the national and local levels. At the national level, the project will create employment opportunities in rural areas, reducing urban migration and alleviating pressure on cities. This will help to stimulate economic growth in rural areas and contribute to a more balanced distribution of wealth across the country. The project will also improve access to basic services such as healthcare, education, and clean water, ultimately improving the quality of life for rural residents. At the local level, the project will empower rural communities to become self-sufficient by promoting sustainable farming practices, providing training and capacity building, and fostering entrepreneurship. This will result in increased food security and improved livelihoods for rural residents. Additionally, the project will help to preserve and protect natural resources, such as water, soil, and forests, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the environment. These socioeconomic benefits align with the global environmental benefits supported by the GEF Trust Fund in several ways. By promoting sustainable practices and preserving natural resources, the project will contribute to mitigating climate change, protecting biodiversity, and promoting sustainable land management. This, in turn, will help to achieve the overarching goal of the GEF Trust Fund, which is to support sustainable development and promote a healthy and resilient planet for future generations. Rural aquaculture has significant socio-economic benefits and promotes decent employment, particularly in vulnerable and developing regions supported by initiatives like the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) and the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF). Rural aquaculture contributes to these objectives with employment Generation and Economic Growth: Aquaculture creates year-round employment opportunities in rural and coastal areas, supporting economic resilience and providing stable incomes. It drives job creation not only within fish farming but also in related sectors such as fish processing, feed production, and equipment manufacturing, food security and nutrition, brings about environmental benefits, creates climate resilience and adaptation, promotes social accountability and decent work. In summary, rural aquaculture, supported by initiatives like the LDCF and SCCF, plays a vital role in promoting full and productive employment, enhancing food security, and fostering economic growth while ensuring environmental sustainability and social equity. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) promotes the four pillars of decent work employment creation, rights at work, social protection, and social dialogue in rural areas through various strategies, including employment creation, rights at work, social Protection, and social dialogue. The project will contribute to Decent Rural Employment (DRE) in four pillars of DRE supported by FAO, as follows: Pillar 1 – employment creation and enterprise development: Women and men small-scale producers supported in accessing markets and modern value chains; agribusiness and marketing micro, small and medium enterprises supported in accessing markets, training, financial services and other productive assets; vocational and educational training programmes on technical and business skills for rural people supported; Capacities of national partners supported to collect and analyze age and disaggregated data on rural labor markets. Pillar 2 – Social protection: occupational safety and health measures for the rural workforce adopted by promoting safer technology for small scale and commercial agriculture in extension programmes; working conditions improved in rural areas, including effective maternity protection and living wages in agriculture. Pillar 3 – Standards and rights at work: Socially responsible agricultural production supported, specifically to reduce gender and age-based discrimination; Child labour prevention and reduction in rural areas supported by tackling its root causes (poverty, lack of education) and providing livelihood alternatives to poor households; Compliance with national labour legislation promoted in rural areas. Pillar 4 – Governance and Social Dialogue: Countries supported in strengthening democratic organizations and networks of producers and workers, particularly in the informal rural food economy; Representation of the rural poor in social dialogue and policy dialogue through their organizations supported; Participation of rural poor in local decision-making and governance mechanisms supported; Rural women and youth groups empowered to be involved in these process from the initial steps; Synergies built between organizations, programmes, countries and producer-to-producer learning opportunities created. [1] Specific guidance on how FAO can promote the Four Pillars of Decent Work in rural areas is provided in the Quick reference for addressing decent rural employment (as well as in the full corresponding Guidance document). For more information on FAO’s work on decent rural employment and related guidance materials please consult the FAO thematic website at: http://www.fao.org/rural-employment/en/.
