The socioeconomic benefits to be delivered by the project are multiple. Benefits include enhancing the capacity of staff from public institutions (e.g., MiAmbiente+), ICF, SAG, and DICTA) to effectively manage PAs, implement sustainable production and diversification; and control and surveillance in prioritized biological corridors and PAs. At the local level, municipalities, PA co-managers, and palm oil producers and cattle ranchers (including women) will also benefit from capacity development. The project will also strengthen the governance framework to sustainably manage production landscapes, including biological corridors. This will include an enhanced land tenure interinstitutional accreditation system to help solve land tenure conflicts within an outside PAs, strengthening regional and local platforms for palm oil and cattle ranching, and establishing a participatory CONACOBIH regional roundtable for biological corridors, all of which will empower local stakeholders in decision-making processes. Other benefits include making available financial products (credit lines, green bonds, guarantee funds, impact investment funds, payments by results, etc.) with necessary institutional capacity in place for the financing of biodiversity-friendly production practices, including agroforestry systems, community-based forestry, and sustainable palm oil and livestock production, which will benefit 6,000 small and medium producers of palm oil (2,000), beef/dairy (2,000) and basic grains (maize and beans) (2,000) in key conservation areas in the prioritized biological corridors. Similarly, 500 small and medium farms will be supported to implement intensive silvopastoral and basic grains systems with production diversification through agroforestry systems. In addition 1,000 conservation and good production practices agreements will be signed with the producers of palm oil and beef/dairy products that will allow the adopt LMTs that contribute to biodiversity conservation while generating economic benefits through agroforestry, prioritizing producers impacted by COVID-19. At least 15 community-based organizations including indigenous peoples (Garífuna and Tolupanes) and women's groups, will be supported with low-value grants to implement actions that will contribute to biodiversity conservation and the recovery of goods and ecosystem services in the prioritized biological corridors including degraded lands, also prioritizing stakeholders impacted by COVID-19. The project will support RSPO palm oil certification standard for independent smallholders that will be directly primarily to small and medium producers of palm oil making certification more affordable and adding value to their product. In total, the project will directly benefit 26,400 people (women: 9,700; men; 14,700; and indigenous peoples: 2,000, 50% men and 50% women). 44. Other project benefits include improved water supply for producers and other stakeholders through the implementation of PES schemes for water services in at least two PAs. Finally, through knowledge management activities and products, the project will benefit multiple stakeholders nationally by increasing awareness about PA management, mainstreaming biodiversity in production landscapes, SLM, and gender aspects, among other topics; this will serve as a mechanism for replication and scaling-up of successful experiences in other production landscapes and biological corridors in the country.Global Environment Facility UNDP Global Environment Facility FAO Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente+), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UN Environment, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), National Institute of Forest Conservation and Development, Protected Areas and Wildlife (ICF) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Honduras Republic of Honduras 15 -86.5 +![cdata[Forestry development]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ 1972789.60 1972789.60 1972789.60 1972789.60 1972789.60 197393 UNDP Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente+), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UN Environment, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), National Institute of Forest Conservation and Development, Protected Areas and Wildlife (ICF) 197393 FAO Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente+), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UN Environment, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), National Institute of Forest Conservation and Development, Protected Areas and Wildlife (ICF) 415967 UNDP Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente+), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UN Environment, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), National Institute of Forest Conservation and Development, Protected Areas and Wildlife (ICF) 415967 FAO Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente+), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UN Environment, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), National Institute of Forest Conservation and Development, Protected Areas and Wildlife (ICF) 1326354 UNDP Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente+), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UN Environment, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), National Institute of Forest Conservation and Development, Protected Areas and Wildlife (ICF) 1326354 FAO Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (MiAmbiente+), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), UN Environment, Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), National Institute of Forest Conservation and Development, Protected Areas and Wildlife (ICF) 9863948 GEF 9863948 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10614 Global Environment Facility To reduce the use of mercury and increase incomes in the ASGM sector in the participating countries through a holistic, multisectoral integrated formalization approach, and increasing access to finance leading to adoption of sustainable mercury free technologies and access to traceable gold supply chains. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.206. The project’s goal is to minimize risks to mercury exposure to human beings and the environment due to the use of mercury in the ASGM sector in compliance with the Minamata Convention, recognizing the multi-dimensional impacts of artisanal and small-scale gold mining on the environment, health and poverty. 207. At the municipal level, the implementation of coordinated demonstration actions with the private sector in the field will show the opportunities of institutional integration and coordination, private-driven investments, will demonstrate that the positive results of these pilot interventions would serve to improve and enforce current regulation for environmentally sound management of mercury in the ASGM sector. Innovative market interventions offer alternative solutions to other LAC parties of the Minamata Convention and will follow and integrate these strategies in their efforts to phase out chemical hazardous substances. For this, a public awareness and communication strategy for the elimination of mercury, related wastes and safer alternatives should result in direct gains for the citizens and the environment.208. Additional economic and social benefits that will be brought on by the project:• Reduced health impact from the exposure to hazardous chemicals, particularly the use of mercury for the amalgamation of gold for gold mining as well as for gold extraction. The project estimates to increase awareness of about 280,000 people, of which 139,727 women and 138,581 men.• Considered newly identified risks related to the global pandemic amid the COVID-19 virus that may affect the implementation of the project. • Job creation through opportunities enhanced in the deployment of mercury-free technologies. • Improved policy, regulatory, monitoring and analysis frameworks, to safeguard human health and the environment.209. In the BAU national context of the Honduras economy, limiting the country´s capacity on elimination of mercury in the ASGM sector will put a heavy burden in the compliance of international regulations committed by this country with the Minamata Convention. The Global Environmental Benefits (GEB) of the project at the CEO endorsement stage, are the same as presented at the PIF stage.

The project will produce socioeconomic benefits through enhanced ecosystem services, biodiversity benefits, greenhouse gas mitigation, carbon storage and sequestration, and restoration of critical forests and woodlands and the improved access to Innovative financial and market mechanism, including an increase on purchase and sale of products from climate and biodiversity-friendly value chains, with a focus on addressing gender-specific barriers that may prevent women farmers from accessing financial products. Removal of barriers that hinder the adoption of sustainable value chains with environmental and social benefits with an improvement of the organizational, technical, and business management will be critical on generating these benefits.129. .Biodiversity conservation, integrated landscape management and ecosystem connectivity will be reinforced through the creation of socio-economic incentives at local and national levels. As such, the project will promote Pillars 1 and 4 of Decent Work in rural areas: (under Pillar 1) Women and men small-scale producers will be supported in accessing markets and modern value chains, while (under Pillar 4) the project will also support the participation of rural poor in local decision-making and governance mechanisms, especially empowering rural women, and youth groups to be involved in these processes.130.The project will pursue social participation seeking to guarantee the needs, challenges, knowledge, and opinion of local communities (women, men, youth, and indigenous peoples), national and regional governments, private sector companies willing to participate in sustainable value chains, local and regional NGOs, and research institutions. With the adoption of sustainable production practices, local producers will be strengthened in the management of ecosystems and ecosystem services as livelihoods. 131.The implementation of sustainable practices based on nature and the traditional knowledge of Indigenous communities, as well as the environmental benefits of conservation and reduction of deforestation will benefit the indigenous communities represented by their organizations. Municipalities and local communities will also benefit by supporting issues of decent rural employment, food security, employment and incomes opportunities and governance and conflict resolution linked to the management of biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecosystem services.Global Environment Facility FAO Secretary of Energy, Natural Resources and Minning (SERNA) CEO Endorsement Date ' Honduras 5329453 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11276 Global Environment Facility Improved and consolidated conservation of the critical ecosystems in the Honduran Moskitia through strengthened governance, promotion inter sectoral coordination and policy coherence; strengthened protection and restoration of ecosystems; promotion of deforestation-free livelihoods and knowledge cross-fertilization. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.1. Through project implementation, the socio-economic benefits that will be generated for the population involved include, firstly, the protection and conservation of primary forests. This recognizes the work of indigenous communities in protecting and conserving these forests, as well as addressing the problems related to the lack of presence of authorities and political actors in the area, which over the years has led to an increase in illegal activities and settlements. Moreover, it aims to integrate the conservation of primary forests at the economic, social, and institutional levels, as well as into municipal land-use planning guidelines and ITCs “life plans.” 2. Beyond this, the project seeks to generate and adopt new and better sustainable practices, whether applied to territorial planning or value chains, which prioritize the inclusion of women and rural youth. This involves capacity-building initiatives in developing deforestation-free value chains and workshops on forest management and indigenous rights, ensuring that these groups become participatory actors in decision-making. This guarantees their active participation, the generation of employment, and technical training. The activities involved in this project focus on improving the livelihoods of local communities, with an emphasis on sustainable forest management and gender inclusion.
