The project is expected to result in more cleantech startups and SMEs being identified and supported, thus acting as a catalyst for entrepreneurship development and cleantech investment in Moldova. The GCIP Moldova, as a dedicated national platform for promoting and supporting cleantech innovation, will result in an enhancement of human capital, thereby leading to job creation and poverty reduction as well as to an increased women participation in the entire value chain of technology development. New job opportunities in the country will in turn contribute to stemming the current brain drain. Local development and production of cleantech will very likely result in lower costs benefiting both the technology developers and end-users. It is noteworthy to underline that so far around 84% of startups and SMEs, that have completed the GCIP acceleration program globally, have remained in business for minimum of five years. @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-size:11.0pt; mso-ansi-font-size:11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language:EN-US; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:8.0pt; line-height:107%;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}Finally, the increased use of cleantech innovations supported by the GCIP Moldova will also result in GHG emission reductions. 192. The GCIP Moldova will highlight the need for a stronger support at the national level for cleantech innovations and start-ups/SMEs. In particular, it will provide added value by bridging the gap between cleantech innovators and investors, thereby paving the way for the creation of new businesses opportunities resulting in a value added for the domestic economy. At the same time, through engaging all relevant stakeholders in the national CIEE, and encouraging their cooperation, as well as through linking different CIEEs across countries, the GCIP Moldova will provide opportunities for international business scale-up and exchange of knowledge.

Table 5. Socioeconomic benefits to be delivered by the project at the national and local levels in supporting the achievement of global environment benefits and adaptation benefits. Benefits Benefits Baseline (B) Alternative (A) Increment (A-B) Global benefits Under the baseline scenario, priority actions identified in the NBSAP would likely remain unfulfilled, as gaps in institutional authority and coordination, and limited resources, would make implementation highly difficult. Institutional will, mechanisms and resources to effectively engage with productive sectors that are key IAS/LMOs pathways would remain weak, and most IAS/LMOs management would remain focused solely on protecting economic resources with little regard for biodiversity conservation. Understanding of the potential impacts of climate change on IAS/LMOs dispersion will be absent, preventing decision makers from making effective long-term decisions on IAS/LMOs prevention and control. In the islands, IAS/LMOs management would continue on a case-by-case basis, without a setting of priorities or a systematic approach, and without consistent cooperation among stakeholders or mechanisms for sharing information nationally or internationally. Protected Areas would continue to lack technical expertise or models for IAS/LMOs management. In the absence of this project, globally significant biodiversity in Moldova, including native/endemic species and natural ecosystems at vulnerable island and mainland PA sites, will continue to be threatened by the introduction, establishment and spread of IAS/LMOs. The project, which counts on financing from the GEF, government institutions will remove key barriers for the strengthening of the management of IAS/LMOs that impact biodiversity at entry and distribution points as well as high priority conservation areas (PAs) within Moldova. The GEF project will replace the baseline piecemeal approach with a coordinated and effective IAS/LMOs management framework for the country. As a complement to national baseline investments in IAS/LMOs policy and legal development, inspection and quarantine functions, and site-level eradications, the GoM is seeking GEF support to develop improved IAS/LMOs management systems that protect Moldova’s globally significant biodiversity. In line with the GEF focal area strategy for IAS/LMOs, the project will implement a systemic approach to IAS/LMOs management while also addressing IAS/LMOs in the wild species trade, aquaculture, forest and wildlife products sectors and in targeted areas of high biodiversity value and significant IAS/LMOs threat. Project activities will be oriented towards maximizing limited national resources to address the most important elements of the threat posed by IAS/LMOs. As such, the project will place special emphasis on early detection and prevention systems, as well as the use of risk analyses to identify IAS with the most potential environmental and economic impact on Moldova, in order to establish clearly agreed priorities for IAS/LMOs management interventions. This project represents critical support at a crucial time as Moldova endeavours to implement the new National Biodiversity Strategy and its Action Plan 2030 (NBSAP) in line with the post 2020 GBF both for the resources and expertise it. The GEF increment will strengthen IAS/LMOs management at entry and distribution points, and high priority conservation areas, throughout Moldova. This will produce benefits for globally significant species and ecosystems nationally, including: mammals (75), birds (281), reptiles (14), amphibians (14), freshwater fish species (90), invertebrates species (15000), including insects species (13000) and plants species (5 568), from which vascular plants species (2 044). Moldova also numerous crop cultivars that represent a resource of immense importance in terms of global food security. At the site level, the GEF increment will help to conserve important biodiversity at Protected Areas, including over species of flora and fauna, including Red Book endangered species. The project also will help to prevent forest degradation and allow natural reforestation to take place, thereby adding to global CO2 sequestration capacity. The project also will produce global benefits by helping Moldova to implement the NBSAP of Moldova and its action plan, thereby fulfilling its obligations as a Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and by strengthening the national contribution to the global Aichi Targets, specifically Target 4 on sustainable production, Target 6 on marine and aquatic species, Target 7 on agriculture, aquaculture and forestry, Target 9 on invasive alien species, and Target 19 on threatened by the introduction, establishment and spread of IAS/LMOs and will provide and for its catalytic effect in bringing other resources and increased attention to the issue of IAS/LMOs knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity. National and local benefits Under the baseline scenario, efforts to guide development of targeted production sectors (aquaculture, trade, forest and wildlife products) in the prevention, inspection, quarantine and response to IAS/LMOs introduction and spread will be stymied by a lack of clear regulatory authority, insufficient technical tools and processes, poor understanding of the economic impacts of specific IAS/LMOs and the costs for different IAS/LMOs management options, and lack of partnerships between regulatory authorities and business associations and companies. As a result, the focus of governmental and private stakeholders will stay on short-term economic benefits, and import, production and distribution of IAS/LMOs in these sectors will proceed without weighing the costs and benefits of various activities. In this scenario, economic development will frequently be unsustainable and incur significant opportunity costs for Moldova by damaging/destroying natural ecosystem functions and values. Over time, this will represent a loss to both the national economy and to local stakeholders. The project will engage a variety of stakeholders in processes to plan for and implement IAS/LMOs management. These stakeholders will include associations, companies and individual producers in the trade, aquaculture, forest and wildlife products sectors, including importers, traders, producers, and distributors, who will be engaged in developing improved prevention and control measures for IAS relevant to their productive activities. Other relevant stakeholders will be managers of operations in these sectors, as well as agriculture and livestock producers and other local residents at selected PA sites, who will be provided with training and information on strategies (biosecurity measures; replacement of exotic species with native species or transboundary movement of LMOs) for improved IAS/LMOs management in their operations and practices, as well as guidance on new regulations and restrictions relevant to their activities. Stakeholders at Island sites, including local residents as well as fishermen and tourism operators, will be integral to the development and implementation of Island Biosecurity Plans, as well as the implementation of various IAS/LMOs control, eradication and monitoring programs. In all of these national and local level activities, relevant stakeholders will have the opportunity to participate in IAS/LMOs planning, priority setting and management, so that IAS/LMOs management actions balance the needs of these groups and the biodiversity conservation and ecosystem functioning objectives of the project. The project is expected to yield national and local benefits by supporting the more effective IAS/LMOs management of the trade, aquaculture, forest and wildlife products sectors, as well as strengthening IAS/LMOs management for specific productive sector operations in and around high priority conservation areas (islands and mainland PAs), all of which are responsible for various pathways and processes that contribute to the introduction and spread of IAS into Moldova. By reducing the impact of these sectors, through improved biosecurity processes, strengthened regulations, substitution of exotic species with native species, etc., the project will reduce or eliminate IAS/LMOs impacts that affect the social and economic well being of Moldova’s citizens. For example, aquatic ecosystems are highly impacted by IAS; invasive have supplanted native fish species on which local communities depend; and invasive aquatic plant species have a negative impact on water supply, contribute to premature accumulation of sediments in reservoirs and obstruction of water canals and water inlets in hydroelectric installations, etc., while also providing suitable habitat for disease vectors. By safeguarding biological diversity and ecosystems and their services from these and other IAS/LMOs threats, the project will add considerably to local and national economic benefits.

Please see project document, SEP, GAP, and ESRS for further details. The PAD includes a section on cost-benefit and economic analysis for the project, summarized below:The proposed project’s technical design seeks to improve the ecosystem resilience in the Dniester River Basin. Forest floor litter captures particles and chemicals, preventing them from entering water bodies. Organic matter in forest soils can also adsorb and degrade pollutants, including nitrogen and phosphorus, which are common contributors to water pollution in the Dniester River Basin. Usually, forest vegetation stabilizes soil with its root systems, reducing soil erosion and sedimentation in water bodies. The project will adopt an NBS approach to tackle these pollution and erosion issues and strengthen ecosystem functions, through NBS investments, policy and institutional strengthening and community-based planning and demonstration projects support. The NBS approach adopted by the project will support the reduction of erosion and runoff risks in the targeted watersheds as it increases the services provided by forests to act as natural filters by trapping sediments, nutrients, and pollutants from erosion and runoff. This will also minimize socioeconomic and physical damage exacerbated by climate change through: (i) forest rehabilitation, reforestation and afforestation; (ii) reinvigorate biodiversity by reconstructing and restoring ecosystem functions and adopting substitution of species where needed; and (iii) managing river flows by considering torrent protection shelterbelts, enhanced vegetation buffers and riverbank management and disturbance control. The project will target several public tiers and beneficiaries by building capacity, providing policy support and using adaptive forest management techniques. It will also support citizen engagement through silvopastoral management planning and demonstration projects. The project preparation prioritized areas in the targeted Dniester River Basin after deriving exposure and vulnerability to pollution from runoffs and erosion. It is expected that the NBS approach will effectively regulate the natural flow and improve the water quality in the watersheds, the restoration or conservation of wetlands which have been degraded through uncontrolled upstream land use. The project will also promote sustainable land use and planning (10,000 ha) where demonstration activities and riverbed and wetland protection are considered with the communities over a 200-ha area and restore ecosystem provisioning, regulating, habitat and cultural services that will benefit vulnerable farmers, women and youth living in the targeted watersheds.As the project will improve the watershed ecosystem services owned by the public sector (2,800 ha of which 200 ha are managed by private farmers) that is considered a public good, only an economic analysis based on an ex-ante Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) was performed. Local communities are expected to reap environmental and social benefits of NBS interventions as they will be trained and granted ownership over their implementation and outcomes. This analysis focuses on a subset of anticipated project benefits that can be quantified and selects conservative estimates for all indicators. All quantifiable and tangible benefits are expected to arise from sub-component 2.2. The economic benefits from the project are expected to contribute more to restoring critical ecosystem services (ES) in the Dniester River Basin through NBS approaches. These ES include reduced damage from erosion, nutrient pollution, flooding, improved livelihoods (e.g., increased agricultural productivity), and other goods and services provided through ecosystem restoration. The proposed project will help access more ecosystem benefits by expanding areas of healthier ecosystems (restored functionality) improving landscape/habitat conditions and water quality at the upstream and downstream watersheds. Restoration (forest and wetland) and conservation (sustainable forest management) activities with NBS will involve catchment/watershed management measures on nearly 2,000 ha upstream. It will directly capture regulatory ES by reducing soil erosion, water purification, restoration of natural habitats and improving biodiversity, reducing risks of floods, ultimately allowing to improve livelihoods of local population downstream. Sub-component 2.2 has a positive Net Present Value (NPV) of US$1.3 million as well as a positive economic IRR of 9 percent and a positive Present Value benefit-cost ratio of 1.2. The sensitivity analysis shows that investment is more sensitive to a reduction in benefits than in costs. The project remains viable with a 4 percent but not with an 8 percent discount rates. Under the optimistic scenario with a 10 percent increase in benefits and a 10 percent reduction in costs, the project generates a NPV of US$4.9 million discounted at 4 percent, an economic IRR of 12 percent and a Present Value Benefit-Cost ratio of 1.9. Under the pessimistic scenario with a 10 percent increase in costs and a 10 percent reduction in benefits, the project generates a negative NPV of US$1.1 million discounted at 8 percent, an economic IRR of 5 percent and a Present Value Benefit-Cost ratio of 0.9. Moreover, a yearly US$ 2.6 million knock-on effect on the local economy will occur after the creation of 300 green jobs by the end of the project.Improvement of provisioning ES will have a significant development impact, improving the life of rural communities, especially the most vulnerable groups and women. It will help address poverty in rural villages, where income is heavily reliant on agriculture and remittances from family members working elsewhere. By improving agricultural productivity, the project is projected to increase incomes of direct beneficiaries. The project will field test innovative and inclusive ecosystem restoration, forest and agroforest/silvopastoral management practices and models that aim to enhance and increase social benefits and community empowerment (related to local responsibilities, benefit sharing and landscape planning), which is expected to build social capital and empower communities and their institutions, including for women. The benefits from restored ES and reduced nutrient pollution could be multiplied with averting climate change impacts considering the estimate of an average loss of US$40 million per year in foregone agricultural production due to soil erosion in Moldova and increasing frequency and intensity of droughts . The improved frameworks for marine pollution management, forest and wetland restorations, and watershed management aligning these with European Union and international obligations including NDC commitments will bring additional benefits in adapting to climate change.----Additional information on Stakeholders, Environmental and Social:The Moldova Project is being prepared under the World Bank’s Environment and Social Framework (ESF). Per Environmental and Social Standard (or hereafter ESS) 10 on Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure, the implementing agencies should provide stakeholders with timely, relevant, understandable, and accessible information, and consult with them in a culturally appropriate manner, which is free of manipulation, interference, coercion, discrimination, or intimidation. The overall objective of the Project Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) is to define a program for stakeholder engagement, including public information disclosure and consultation throughout the entire project cycle. The SEP outlines the ways in which the PIU will communicate with stakeholders and includes a mechanism by which people can raise concerns, provide feedback, or make complaints about project activities or any activities related to the projectKey stakeholders are being consulted since the concept stage of the proposed project in an inclusive manner, which include local community representatives, NGOs, research institutes and central and local government entities responsible for environment, forest, water resource management. Their input has informed the project design, which includes the type of intervention, site selection, identification of potential E&S risks and impacts and their mitigations and implementation arrangements. From September 2 to 13, the client, together with the Bank team, met with representatives of Moldsilva (both headquarter and local units), AAM, districts and villages within the Dniester River Basin (in the north, central and southern Moldova), NGOs (Biotica, Arboretum.md, 100 Frontiers), and ICAS. During its preparatory phase the project concept has been consulted with a broad variety of key national stakeholders (including the representatives of authorities, subordinated agencies, local public authorities, research/academia, business, and civil society institutions and community representatives).At the same time, during the period of September 2-13, 2024, the implementing agencies and the World Bank team conducted site visits and met with key stakeholders, including Local Public Administration officials (mayors and officers in potential project sites), State Forestry Enterprises, local business representatives (local winery and cement factory), Forest Research and Management Institute (ICAS Chisinau), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as local community members (local forest rangers, farmers, shepherds and other villagers). Stakeholders expressed broader support to the project. Additional project consultations took place on September 30, 2024. The Stakeholder Engagement Plan was updated and disclosed.As part of CHOIP, the project will develop a Private Sector Engagement Strategy (PSES) to ensure collaboration with key private sector entities, such as fertilizer companies, agri-food businesses, water supply firms, tourism businesses, fishing companies, the banking industry etc. This process involves a detailed process for stakeholder mapping, characterization, categorization, leading to a comprehensive plan with specific engagement mechanisms and activities per key private sector groups that will be identified. The project will work with the GCP to ensure a harmonized approach to implementing the SEP and the PSES. The project will use is own financial support from the IA to develop and implement these plans but may require additional technical support from the CGP, which would require additional financial contribution form the project budget.The proposed project has been assessed with moderate environmental risks but is expected to have a positive long-term impact. None of its activities are likely to cause biodiversity loss or environmental damage. The project's social risks are considered moderate. It involves small-scale physical works to restore 2,700 ha of degraded forest and wetland sites along the Dniester River and improve agroforestry and silvopastoral practices across 10,000 ha (including at least 100 ha of demo sites).The project will generate significantly positive environmental effects on the watershed level, with various measures intended upstream in order to reduce marine pollution carried downstream by the Dniester River. No significant environmental risks are expected neither at the construction or operation stages of the project. The envisaged environmental and social risks are considered moderate, which are related to minor civil works for wetland restoration, rehabilitation of small rivers beds and afforestation/ reforestation activities. While the proposed project will take the NBS approach, no significant civil works are anticipated. The areas of intervention will not interfere with special conservation zones as the Ramsar sites. Mitigation measures will be implemented to address environmental risks associated with small civil works as described above. Social risks are also considered moderate. Project interventions are expected to take place on public land (state or community) and no land acquisition and physical and economic resettlement are anticipated. Any involuntary restrictions to land use or natural resources (for example, site-specific temporary access restrictions at reforestation sites or civil work site) will be appropriately avoided, minimized and managed through close engagement with key stakeholders. Labor and working conditions and OHS and community health and safety risks will be managed through appropriate mitigation and monitoring measures, including appropriate use of PPE (such as for forest/wetland restoration activities and silvopastoral planning). Social tensions and exclusion risks may arise from site or beneficiaries’ selection processes, if the criteria are not sufficiently consulted and disseminated with a wide range of stakeholders and beneficiaries in local areas, including those who are more likely to be poor, women and youth who are considered disadvantaged in terms of engagement and access to economic opportunities in the agricultural sector. To address such risks, the project design includes activities to strengthen community capacity for conservation and offer opportunities for stakeholder engagement and employment. The PIU will prepare appropriate E&S instruments, which will guide risk screening and application of mitigation measures at the sub-project level under the project. Once the areas of intervention are identified, a thorough screening of potential risks will be undertaken, and relevant mitigation measures will be put in place and monitored for all project interventions.Global Environment Facility World Bank Ministry of Environment (Moldova) - National Office for Environmental Projects Implementation (NOEPI) CEO Endorsement Date ' Moldova 7903975 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11659 Global Environment Facility To support the Republic of Moldova to meet enhanced transparency framework (ETF) requirements for action and support, as defined in Article 13 of the Paris Agreement, by strengthening institutional and technical capacity for measuring and reporting on emissions (GHG inventory), tracking progress on NDCs, including mitigation and adaptation activities, and finance, technology, development and capacity building support received and needed.

An integrated approach to Knowledge Management and Learning has been developed during Project Preparation and is detailed in the Project Description. Dedicated activities have been budgeted with a clear timeline for delivery, including participation in knowledge exchange through the CBIT Global Coordination Platform. 73. The project adopts a structured Knowledge Management approach to ensure that data, experience, and lessons generated throughout implementation contribute to national, regional, and global learning on climate transparency. These activities are embedded across all project components and aim to enhance institutional memory, inform policy, and support replication of successful practices. 74. Key objectives of the Knowledge Management Plan are: · To document and disseminate good practices and lessons learned from the enhancement of Moldova’s MRV/ETF system, including institutional understanding of how Article 6 mechanisms intersect with Article 13 transparency requirements. · To support institutional learning through workshops, after-action reviews, and knowledge products tailored to different stakeholder groups (e.g., ministries, private sector, academia). · To ensure that knowledge generated is shared with regional partners and global platforms, including the CBIT Global Coordination Platform, to contribute to collective learning on climate transparency. 75. A tailored communication plan will raise awareness of transparency goals and project achievements among key audiences, including national stakeholders, development partners, and the public. Communication tools will include social media campaigns, project newsletters, infographics, and policy dialogues. Special focus will be placed on communicating the role of private sector actors in MRV, highlighting their contributions through case studies and public-private forums. E.2 Socio-economic Benefits and Decent Rural Employment [42] 76. The project will support the strengthening of socio-economic data related to climate change impacts on vulnerable groups, disaggregated by sex, age, and disability. This effort aims to enhance the design and implementation of climate policies and measures that are inclusive and evidence-based. Strengthening this data foundation contributes significantly to improving socio-economic outcomes at both national and local levels, while also aligning with global environmental and adaptation goals. 77. At the national level, the project will enhance Moldova’s institutional and technical capacities for climate change monitoring and reporting. Improved climate data management and transparency will inform policy decisions, enabling more effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. These advances are expected to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing resilience to climate-related shocks, in line with the objectives of the GEF Trust Fund. 78. At the local level, enhanced capacities of policymakers and stakeholders in rural areas will support the development of strategies that foster full and productive employment and decent work. Strengthening skills and knowledge—particularly in agriculture, forestry, and land-use sectors—will empower communities to adopt sustainable practices that generate stable livelihoods. These outcomes are expected to promote rural economic development, reduce poverty, and support the realization of the right to Decent Rural Employment.79. The project’s emphasis on capacity building, inclusive data systems, and cross-sector collaboration will contribute to Moldova’s broader sustainable development objectives. Supporting a transition toward climate-resilient and low-emission development pathways will deliver long-term socio-economic and environmental benefits that align with both Moldova’s national strategies and global efforts to address climate change.

By restoring degraded ecosystems and integrating NBS into land management, the project will support resilient livelihoods, agricultural productivity, and long-term sustainability of natural capital.At the local level, the project directly benefits farmers, landowners, and local cooperatives by:? Enhancing soil fertility and water retention, critical for crop yields in erosion-prone and drought-affected areas.? Promoting biodiversity-friendly practices in viticulture and agroecosystems, opening access to green markets and boosting incomes.? Providing technical support and inputs to over 25 demonstration farms, fostering knowledge exchange and enabling replication.? Creating green jobs through field restoration, native plant propagation, and ecological monitoring, particularly benefiting youth and women through inclusive capacity-building programs.At the national level, the project strengthens Moldova’s institutional and legal architecture for ecological governance and supports implementation of the National Forest Extension and Rehabilitation Program (NFERP), Natura 2000 readiness, and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) targets. These efforts align directly with GEF Trust Fund objectives by:? Mitigating GHG emissions through wetland rewetting, forest regeneration, and agroforestry, contributing to climate mitigation benefits.? Conserving and restoring habitats and species under the Global Biodiversity Framework, including Targets 2, 3, and 10.? Supporting cross-sectoral resilience and adaptation by reducing flood and drought risks in climate-sensitive zones.The project’s co-benefits include enhanced ecosystem service delivery (e.g., pollination, carbon sequestration, erosion control), improved agro-forest landscapes through eradicated IAS that harbors other invasives, and strengthened food and water security in vulnerable areas. Together, these outcomes advance Moldova’s contribution to global environmental benefits, while ensuring sustainable development dividends at home.Global Environment Facility World Bank Ministry of Environment CEO Approval Date ' Moldova 3652967 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-9754 Global Environment Facility NA Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Global Environment Facility World Bank Government of Moldova CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date Actual Completion Date ' Moldova +![cdata[Agricultural policy and administrative management]]+ 666666.67 666666.67 666666.67 2000000 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10191 Global Environment Facility Enhance the competitiveness of the country’s agro-food sector by supporting the modernization of the food safety management system, facilitating market access for farmers, and mainstreaming agro-environmental and sustainable land management practices.

Women will obtain improved abilities in climate resilient practices to boost land productivity as well as crop production. Outcome 2.2 will guarantee the achievement of this first socioeconomic benefit.In the second place, the increase of household incomes will be another socioeconomic benefit to be generated. This includes female-headed households. This income increase will be the result of strengthening farmer’s resilience to extreme weather, considering that their income depend essentially on weather fluctuations. Under Component 2, Climate Smart Agriculture practices such as no-till farming, maintenance of continuous soil cover, alternating crops and sustainable shelterbelt management will enhance resilience to climate change. Following, income increase will be achieved through land degradation prevention; after all, land degradation is responsible for reduced productivity due to a lower response to the same inputs, and a need for higher inputs to maintain farm incomes. Moreover, income sources from LDN with the Government encompass the establishment of Chambers of Agriculture which would represent the interest of farmers to public authorities, as well as Government grants and incentives. The private sector can also intervene via loans. Lastly, widened market access through activities implemented under Output 2.2.1 and cooperation with the World Bank Agriculture Competitiveness project should ensure an income increase for farmers.On a tertiary basis, this project should bring about an increase of income at regional level as well as at sectoral level (agricultural sector), as another socioeconomic benefit. As stated in the previous paragraph, income sources from LDN can be created cooperatively with the Government, as well as local Governments.Lastly, the improvement of socioeconomic benefits in the rural areas could help reduce rural-urban migration.This Project, trough the delivering of these four above-mentioned socioeconomic benefits, will support the achievement of the following global environment benefits: First off, this Project will improve the provision of ecosystem services from 92,000 ha of degraded agricultural land and shelterbelts. These ecosystem services include the increase of productivity and reduction of soil erosion and subsequently scaling them up across the country.In the second place, this Project will reduce rural poverty by decreasing vulnerability of farmers and agricultural workers towards land degradation, extreme weather and climate events given the fact that their income depend mostly on weather fluctuations.Ultimately, this Project will support local value chains, focusing on activities engaging women.Climate Change adaptation related benefitsThis project involves a variety of climate change adaptation related activities, namely, generating information and knowledge, capacity development, planning and, ultimately, putting into effect climate change adaptation actions on the lookout for reducing the vulnerability of human/natural systems to the impacts of climate change.In relation to information and knowledge generation, this GEF-FAO proposal is associated to the baseline IDA/WB “Disaster and climate risk management” project and will benefit from the knowledge on the use of weather information in farming operations. Moreover, under Output 1.1.2, the GEF-FAO proposal will assess and outline natural or anthropic factors affecting soil fertility, which may include climate change effects: “climate is one of the most important factors affecting the formation of soil with important implications for their development, use and management perspective with reference to soil structure, stability, topsoil water holding capacity, nutrient availability and erosion”[1]. Furthermore, Output 1.1.3 will generate information and emphasize forms and locations of soil degradation by implementing a local system of soil quality monitoring.Next in order, concerning capacity development, this GEF-FAO project will coordinate with the IFAD baseline project “Climate Resilience through Conservation Agriculture” which seeks to enhance the adaptive capacity of farmers to climate change via the promotion and expansion of resilient agricultural approaches. In addition, under Output 1.1.1, staff from MARDE, IPASP and MoldSilva will be trained in INRM and LDN principles. Subsequently, Output 3.2.1 involves capacity building in replicating the planning and monitoring of SLM, agroforestry and CSA practices. Essentially, Components 1 and 2 will provide capacity development in the pilot area, while Component 3 provides capacity building to replicate these experiences carried out in the pilot area up to national level.As for planning activities concerning CCA, Output 2.1.1 will develop a participatory land-use planning in the agro-landscape. All types of land (agricultural land, pastures, and shelterbelts) will be assessed so LDN targets (which can simultaneously contribute to climate change adaptation) and plan interventions can be determined. Subsequently, Output 3.2.1 will replicate planning and monitoring of SLM from the Project area to other locations. Lastly, regarding the implementation of climate change adaptation actions. First of all, the GEF-FAO Project will, under Output 2.2.2, carry out climate resilient practices to facilitate adaptation of agricultural livelihoods to climate change. In this regard, Women’s Associations will be trained on gender-sensitive climate resilient practices to enhance land productivity. Secondly, this GEF-FAO Project will also be collaborating with the CPIU-IFAD Rural Resilience Project, which seeks to diversify agricultural production through the allocation of grant funding for adaptation technologies. Crop Rotation is also part of the catalog of agricultural related adaptation strategies to be implemented under Output 2.1.2. that can improve productivity. In the third place, the Institute of Crop Production and the Institute of Horticulture will be choose and introduce drought tolerant varieties of wheat, corn and apples. Moreover, the Project will also apply, under Output 2.2.2, drip irrigation (trickle irrigation) as a water saving irrigation method. In the fourth place, seedling nurseries will be established under Output 2.1.2 in order to cultivate and distribute climate-resilient seeds. This Project, under Output 2.2.2, also foresees the use of drought tolerant seeds. The fifth kind of activity involve the implementation of a monitoring system of soil quality that could avoid crop loss through climate-related stress. The last example of CCA action is the plantation and rehabilitation of wind shelterbelts to significantly reduce soil erosion under Outcome 2.1.
