conservation into the tourism sector in Bhutan. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.Through its focus on supporting sustainable ecotourism development the project will deliver a range of socioeconomic benefits. The link between global environmental benefits and local livelihoods enhancement is a core part of the project strategy and recognized in the Theory of Change. The project approach recognizes that ecotourism, through its provision of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for local people, can be a lever of change for achieving mutual conservation and livelihood benefits. Where tangible and meaningful economic benefits to local people are realized, and the conceptual link between jobs and conservation is understood, pressures on protected and natural areas for conversion to agriculture and risks of increased HWC or local engagement in wildlife poaching can be reduced. The links between biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic benefits are recognized in the project results framework which captures both ecological improvement (including global environmental benefits) and local livelihoods enhancement. The project’s socioeconomic benefits are recognized through indicators and targets on livelihoods improvement and direct/indirect beneficiaries. These include: Household income diversification: 50% (1,230) of local households within the demonstration landscape communities benefitting from ecotourism; Job creation: 468 new jobs created (234 for women) through ecotourism;Household income increase: 20% improvement of total household income within the demonstration landscape; SME establishment: 60 new local nature/wildlife-based economic enterprises established; Direct beneficiaries: 16,467 (8,534 female) including people living in demonstration landscape Gewogs (10,361; 5,185 female), local private sector personnel (227; 152 female), national private sector personnel (5,550; 3,128 female), local RGoB Officials (210; 25 female) and national RGoB Officials (119; 44 female); Indirect beneficiaries: 101,444 (49,444 female) including local communities (97,631; 47,903 female), private sector personnel (2,963; 1,387 female) and RGoB officials (850; 154 female). In addition, the project’s aim to reduce HWC incidences will provide a range of socioeconomic benefits to local communities that feel the brunt of HWC in some of Bhutan’s HWC hotspots. The project is aiming to achieve at least a 50% reduction in annual HWC incidences in target communities. This reduction of HWC has the potential to bring about substantial development benefits as HWC is one of the biggest challenges facing Bhutan, posing considerable impacts on the rural agrarian population dependent on subsistence agriculture and livestock. These communities lose an average of 18% of total household income to wildlife. Studies reveal that farmers spend 110 days on an average each year guarding their crops. Livestock depredation by wild predators equated to an average annual financial loss of 17% of total per capita cash income. The annual mean livestock loss per household was 1.29 head of stock, which is the equivalent of more than two-thirds of annual cash income. The five districts in the demonstration landscape are among the top six impacted by HWC, with over 70% of the population in Lhuentse, Trashiyangste and Zhemgang affected by HWC. These statistics help illustrate the additional socioeconomic benefits likely to result from the project through the reduction of HWC in the demonstration landscape, along with the conservation benefits to affected wildlife species through a reduction in retaliatory killing and poaching, and more positive community attitudes towards biodiversity and wildlife conservation.Global Environment Facility UNDP Tourism Council of Bhutan CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Bhutan Lhuentse Dzongkhag 27.75 91.18333 Mongar Dzongkhag 27.25 91.23333 Zhemgang Dzongkhag 27.08333 90.85 Trashigang Dzongkhag 27.25 91.75 +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Site preservation]]+ 970825.60 970825.60 970825.60 970825.60 970825.60 663114 UNDP Tourism Council of Bhutan 2261031 UNDP Tourism Council of Bhutan 1308734 UNDP Tourism Council of Bhutan 4854128 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10669 Global Environment Facility By 2024, Bhutan is submitting reports consistent with the requirements of the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), including more up-to-date inventories of emission sources and sinks using advanced IPCC guidance and information necessary to track progress against priority actions identified in Bhutan’s NDC. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.This project is not expected to affect people’s livelihoods and employment status directly. Indirectly, the project is expected to contribute overall socio-economic benefits by supporting the effective and efficient management of natural resources as well as publicly funded initiates to steward those resources. It is also expected to generate indirect benefits for decent rural employment by supporting the development of gender-responsive low-emission strategies in the various sectors, including AFOLU, Energy, IPPU, and Waste. Furthermore, it aims to build the capacity of 200 direct beneficiaries, of which at least 30% women. Given that the national and local economies are so intimately reliant on environmental resources, this project’s benefits for the quality, transparency, and accessibility of related information will greatly benefit all citizens, especially those directly engaged in the AFOLU sector and vulnerable to climate change.Global Environment Facility FAO National Environment Commission (NEC) CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Bhutan +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ 592161.33 592161.33 592161.33 493922 FAO National Environment Commission (NEC) 707189 FAO National Environment Commission (NEC) 1776484 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11223 Global Environment Facility To improve the enabling environment and ensure the long-term environmental sustainability of food systems and the delivery of the global environmental benefits (GEBs) Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The project will ensure that project staff adhere to both national employment and labour laws, as well as international commitments, and will increase the protection and promotion of worker health and safety. This includes providing occupational safety and health training as well as child labour prevention in agriculture. Socioeconomic benefits include: ? Improved governance and enabling environment at national, dzongkhag and gewog levels through a national level multi-stakeholder platform and by engaging the private sector in environmentally sustainable, targeted crop, vegetable and livestock value chains. ? Enhanced gender equality and engagement of women and youth in agrifood systems. ? Enhanced income generation through enhanced improved agrifood value chains ? Improved capacity of farmers and SMEs to apply NbS and ILM, engage in environmentally sustainable value chains and meet food standard and certification requirements. ? Increased carbon sequestration. ? Reduced land degradation, improved biodiversity conservation, and enhanced resilience to climate change impacts through NbS and ILM and protection of rangelands and watersheds. ? Improved dairy breeds that lead to both GEBs and sustainable production values through reduced herd size, linked to improved management of rangelands, reduced HWC and reduced GHG emissions. ? Improved poultry breeds and management of poultry to reduce risk of disease including biosecurity risks to wildlife. The project has a strong focus on improving environmentally sustainable rural livelihoods including by generating livelihood benefits through value chains, and markets. See Table 6. Improved agrifood value chains may enhance employment opportunities, but they will not be directly monitored as employment creation is not the main focus of the project. Instead, it’ll be monitored through indicators (GEF Core Indicator 11) such as “No of farmers benefiting from rangeland, restoration fodder resources development and sustainable agriculture”, “No. of women and men trained in environmentally sustainable agri-business and enterprise management”, “No. of enterprises on environmentally sustainable agrifood value addition and logistics established” Table 6 PROJECT SUPPORT TO DECENT RURAL EMPLOYMENT Prioritized Groups – Farmers and SMEs with a focus on women and youth and environmentally sustainable management Pillar 1: Employment-creation and enterprise-development - Participatory analyses with vulnerable groups on employment related to agrifood systems. - Consultation with relevant groups o Support women and men farm producers in accessing Fair markets and environmentally sustainable value chains, and training, financial services, and other productive assets - Provide Market Analysis and Development training. - Implement training for government agencies and project partners to enable them to undertake participatory, gender responsive, NbS approaches with communities.
