Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The generation of benefits for communities from forests and other natural resources is a crucial part of the strategies for generating global environmental benefits. Communities will invest in the protection and sustainable management of forests and natural resources if this generates substantial employment, revenues and other benefits for them. This project makes exceptonal efforts to maximse enterprise development and inclusive revenue generation within the bounds of sustainable forest management. On the other hand, individuals and households will freely invest in the destruction of forests in order to convert them into de facto privately owned crop land. Conversion of forests to crop land is the greatest cause of forest loss in NWP and in Zambia. A global desk study funded by USAID has recently shown that any form of agricultural intensification that results in and increase in the profitability of agriculture will ultimately lead to greater loss of forest. To counter this, the Project seeks to increase the profitability of the community forests and to generate additional revenues for community enterprises and for the community as a whole, with emphasis on benefit sharing and gender equality. Output 1.1. will include a socio-economic review that will be repeated before the TE to document changes in revenues/benefits.The Project has therefore been designed to deliver socio-economic benefits to Zambia at the local level through activities at the target sites to empower communities to identify livelihood projects that they see as a priority for their area while delivering global environment benefits. By improving the governance of forests in Game Management Areas and bordering communal lands, more sustainable forest and natural resource management will generate tangible socio-economic benefits. At the target sites, socio-economic benefits will accrue to the communities through recruitment into the Community Forest Management Groups, forest guards and the training that will be provided. This will lead to improved employment opportunities, with increased revenues for individuals, as well as the trickle-down effect on local vendors and service providers. The measurement and monitoring of climate resilience within the smallholder economy are essential to ensure the project is making progress in advancing resilience and to allow for adaptive implementation measures if progress is not being made. In this regard, the project will explore the use of specific tools such as the “Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of Climate Resilience of farmers and Pastoralists” (SHARP) tool developed by FAO which aims to address the need to better understand and incorporate the situations, concerns and interests of farmers relating to climate resilience and agriculture.Global Environment Facility UNEP The Nature Conservancy CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Zambia Kelongwa Makaba CFMA -13.804391 26.307556 Kamikolo CFMA -11.94881 25.67374 Chulu CFMA -12.4712143 24.7961687 Kahundula CFMA -12.3537631 24.9508801 Kanyamisovu CFMA -12.3676641 25.0342282 Kayisumpa CFMA -12.3186912 24.9486147 Kayonge CFMA -12.3523909 24.6601626 Kema CFMA -12.3196491 24.9084903 Kewundu CFMA -12.414254 24.9733585 Kimba CFMA -12.4162615 24.8125849 Makuya CFMA -12.3396005 24.9950283 Mumpulumba CFMA -12.4937229 24.6073445 Muyange CFMA -12.3751408 24.9587794 Ntambu Central CFMA -12.3992241 24.9606909 Kamikolo Agriculture area -11.9700976 25.6252997 Kamikolo Agriculture area_2 -12.0010156 25.7617462 +![cdata[Forestry development]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ 1067717.00 1067717.00 1067717.00 1067717.00 1067717.00 201011 UNEP The Nature Conservancy 298989 UNEP The Nature Conservancy 0 UNEP The Nature Conservancy 3615374 UNEP The Nature Conservancy 5338585 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10412 Global Environment Facility To reduce forest and land degradation of the Luangwa Upper Sub-Catchment for enhanced protection of water resources, biodiversity and associated community livelihoods Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Beneficiaries of the project will consist of communities resident in the project target area in the Luangwa Upper-Sub-catchment area in Mafinga District, and downstream populations in the Luangwa Catchment. The communities in the Upper Sub-catchment will benefit directly through the project’s support for more sustainable and productive land uses including climate resilient conservation agriculture practices, community forestry management and other forms of sustainable livelihood together with improved marketing links. The establishment of community forest agreements under the Forestry Act (2015) confers benefits in the form of the rights to form Community Forest Management Groups, the right to issue community permits and collect revenue for forest products and uses; secure tenure through forest user rights; and economic rights for forest uses and products including rights to harvest and trade in forest products; and rights to control access through development and enforcement of local rules to facilitate effective management of the forest. Approximately 2,500 local people are estimated to be the direct beneficiaries of these activities, including at least 50% women. The improved sustainability of catchment management will also help to secure river headwater flows for local as well as downstream use, and the retention and restoration of forest cover will provide ecosystem-based adaptation benefits to local communities, enhancing their climate-resilience. A further 100 government staff at district, provincial and national levels will benefit from capacity development support. The Luangwa river is an essential source of water for adjacent populations, with c.1.8 million people residing in the Luangwa Catchment[1], providing water for irrigated agriculture[2],[3], household use and hydropower[4],[5],[6] in the downstream area of the catchment. Consequently, improved protection of the headwaters and sustainable land management in the Luangwa Upper Sub-Catchment will contribute towards water and food security for these downstream human populations. The river’s seasonal changes support vibrant communities that are spread across 25 chiefdoms, as well as a growing $27 million tourism industry that is based on some of Africa’s most valued wildlife populations including some of the highest concentrations of elephants and hippos in Africa, and globally important biodiversity assets that include the Luangwa Floodplains Ramsar site [7], [8], six National Parks, eight Game Management Areas, and National Forest Reserves covering some 68,812 km2 - around 50% of the total catchment area. A recent study of the benefits of forest ecosystems in Zambia[9] included consideration of soil erosion and transport modelling (using InVEST) through which it was estimated that current rates of sediment output nationally are in the order of 250 million tonnes (average 2.23 tonnes per ha), while forests retain a further 274 million tonnes, generating a cost saving in the order of US$247 million per annum. It also noted that the loss of forest cover over large areas could result in reduced precipitation in the region, impacting on flows, water yields and hydropower generation, and driving up the costs of electricity. The project approach will contribute towards such benefits, although related economic valuation details are not available specifically for the Luangwa catchment. [1] World Bank. 2010.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The implementation of the planetGOLD project will also contribute to the following socio-economic benefits:Sustainable livelihoods: Overall, the improved gold processing and enhanced formalization of the ASGM sector promoted by this project will serve as a vehicle of sustainable development: alleviating poverty, improving living conditions, and stimulating job creation. Indeed, gold capture and recovery will be enhanced which will eventually generate more income for mining communities. Throughout the project, ASGM miners will also gain better access to the formal market and will be able to sell their gold at a fair price. Promoting ASGM formalization will also lead to improved gold trade transparency on a national scale, contributing to the efforts towards eliminating gold smuggling, and increasing the opportunity for ASGM miners to access financial support, which is also expected to improve their livelihoods. It can also be expected that the formalization of the activity will have a spillover effect on other economic sectors as the increased incomes will be reinjected into the local economy. Lastly, as the government will obtain more revenue from the formal market taxes, more money will be available to finance development programs aiming at sustaining ASGM mining communities and livelihoods through education and health services, improved sanitation, or enhanced access to potable water. Improved economic status of homes will reduce child labour and illiteracy rates, as more children will be able to go to school. Moreover, there are expected to be multiple socio-economic benefits of healthy ecosystems due to reduced pollution of water and land from mercury, including for livelihoods dependent on agriculture and fisheries, amongst others.Improvement of health conditions: The improvement of mining practices and promotion of mercury-free technologies will reduce the direct exposure of ASM miners to mercury and its related compounds during gold processing. Awareness-raising campaigns on the dangers of mercury, developed within the framework of this planetGOLD project, are expected to further improve the appropriation of the techniques. In fact, the awareness-raising strategy is expected to change the behaviour of ASGM miners towards their mercury handling and use which will ultimately provide them with better working conditions, including vulnerable people.In addition, mercury-free technologies’ implementation is expected to decrease indirect exposure to mercury as it will dramatically reduce air, water, and soil contamination. This will maintain a decent natural environment including a sustained quality of water and food. Finally, better mining practices including forest smart mining initiatives will ensure that ASG miners reduce their environmental impacts. They will help preserve ecosystem services for the benefit of the surrounding communities by limiting deforestation or backfilling and restoring mined-out pits which will reduce, among other things, the incidence of water-borne diseases such as malaria.Gender equality: The project will include gender equality and women empowerment in a cross-cutting way across all components. All activities will be gender-sensitive and will be implemented, monitored and evaluated to equally benefit men and women. As a result of the gender assessment conducted during the PPG phase, gender mainstreaming will be included: (i) in local and mining cooperatives governance through the effective participation of women in decision-making; (ii) in capacity building through the consolidation of women economic activities along the supply chain; and (iii) initiatives aiming at expanding access to financial services which will improve economic empowerment. For this purpose, the gender approach will be integrated transversally among outputs and activities of all components.Global Environment Facility UNEP Artisanal Gold Council (AGC) CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Zambia +![cdata[Chemicals]]+ +![cdata[Precious metals/materials]]+ 2703750 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10841 Global Environment Facility The project objective is to “support access to clean energy by increasing the financial viability, and promoting scaled-up commercial investment, in low-carbon mini-grids in Zambia with a focus on cost-reduction levers and innovative business models”. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.1. Clean energy access through minigrids has the potential to bring multiple benefits to off-grid communities as shown in the table below Potential direct minigrid benefits Household Food preparation; Study after sunset; Information and communication technologies; Increased comfort; Leisure and learning; Food conservation and better nutrition; Productive use Reduced physical effort; Faster processing; Cheaper price; Greater range of services; Business after dark; Trade without travelling; Market information; Cool and frozen products; Irrigation Community Medical & education services after dark; Safe communities; Clean and reliable water supply; Less time spent, less distance travelled; Local new services; Digital government services 2. In addition, the Project will provide direct employment, which is estimated at 10 per minigrid on average (about 50 people in total; (of which 20 women), not including temporary workers. Regarding indirect supply chain effects, the expansion of the minigrid sector will boost new employment opportunities. The project includes actions to facilitate access to minigrid-related jobs through training, and a revision of recruitment strategies, taking advantage of the appeal of the new technologies for potential workers (Output 1.3). 3. Socioeconomic development and climate change are intricately linked, with social and economic activities climate forcing and climate change determining climate impacts which in turn affect socio-economic developments. For example, the realization of minigrid electrification will have both environmental and socio-economic impacts. Seeing both the direct environmental (cleaner development) and socioeconomic benefits (new skilled jobs and better services; electrification at a lower cost than conventional grid extension) will attract private and public developers and eventually transform the market into self-sustained growth.

Economic benefits will be derived from engagement by youth in cash-for-work opportunities, and involvement by women's cooperatives in new nature-based livelihoods. Larger scale enterprises based on value addition to cleared invasive biomass will also create jobs and bring economic growth to the area. New diversified income streams for households will enhance their resilience in the face of external shocks and stresses, and improved incomes should also enhance nutrition and health status to an extent. Engagement in the long-term leadership development program will build the confidence of stakeholders and their ability to engage in other forums, for example, the Stakeholder Advisory Committee for the Collaborative Management Partnership or a future water fund, and strengthen their ability to negotiate benefits, for example, in negotiations on tourism concessions, or benefit flows from carbon credits.Global Environment Facility WWF-US Ministry of Green Economy and Environment CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date ' Zambia 5966208 GEF
