How do these benefits translate in supporting the achievement of global environment benefits (GEF Trust Fund) or adaptation benefits (LDCF/SCCF)?      The integrated climate change module of the Environmental Information System will improve Paraguay's knowledge of its own efforts to curb emissions and build resilience. Moreover, as the system is developed, its linkages with other environmental data will also be analysed, established and / or improved. These strengthened systems will enable Paraguay to better track and manage its natural resources, thus allowing for interventions to be planned, executed and evaluated quicker. The climate change module of the SIAM will provide the public with up-to-date statistics, indicators and geographical information about climate change causes and impacts in Paraguay, both for decision-making in the private sector or by citizens, and for the government itself for policy-making. Paraguay’s economy is centred mostly in agriculture and cattle farming, two sectors that are directly dependant on the impacts of climate change[1]. The adaptation M&amp;amp;E module of the SIAM will serve to provide information about climate change impacts on agriculture, including  evidence on increasing droughts that could help farmers make informed decisions about irrigation practices and enable the government to prioritise sector resources toward drought management programmes for those affected.      Paraguay's planned climate actions will require public intervention in the form of investments. With better climate data systems, Paraguay will be able to better track and evaluate the impact of the policies, introducing adjustments to achieve better outcomes. This increased efficiency can free up resources for other public investments and interventions, which in turn could benefit Paraguay socio-economically. For example, based on the calculations under the mitigation MRV sub-system, the government of Paraguay will have the ability to quantify the impacts of NAMAs -not only in terms of GHG, but also in relation to the creation of jobs, the reduction of energy costs and the need for subsidies-, thus leaving the country in a better position to manage and steer its progress. Thus, this aspect of the system is expected to increase political buy-in for climate policy[2].      Another important benefit lays on the linkage with the national planning processes. The wide array of data compiled throughout SIAM’s different sub-modules will provide a solid basis for informed national policymaking on climate and other related matters, an element that will be fully developed as part of Output 4. A virtuous cycle is expected to result from the combination of coherent data that improves the consistency of projections and business-as-usual scenarios and leads to the further refinement of the country’s NDCs.

The direct beneficiaries of the Project are 7,270 people, of whom 431 are women and 6,839 are men, living in the selected intervention areas.327.     Project support will develop the capacities of the beneficiaries to: i) participate actively in territorial planning and development and implementation of land use plans; ii) participate in dialogue platforms and establish collaboration relationships among different sectors (public, private, NGOs, community organizations); iii) increase their awareness and knowledge on the importance of conserving biodiversity and ensuring the sustainability of the ecosystem services on which agricultural production depends;  iv) better comply with the environmental legal framework for conservation and restoration of ecosystems ; v) apply biodiversity-friendly and sustainable land management practices for the sustainable use of resources and ecosystems; and vi) develop alternatives to diversify production and incomes.328.     Under Component 1, through training 270 people (189 men and 81 women, including 30 indigenous peoples) from national and local governments as well as key beneficiaries will have improved capacities for planning, implementation and monitoring of urban and territorial management plans, for monitoring and enforcement of environmental policies and gender mainstreaming.  In addition the involvement of beneficiaries through their organizations (producer associations, cooperatives, women´s organizations, indigenous people’s organizations that are relevant to the project) in the participatory processes and decision making to develop the POUTs will strengthen their economic, social and political empowerment. The resulting POUTs will incorporate the socio-economic proposals prioritized by the beneficiaries, including differentiated activities/budgets for women and indigenous peoples to guarantee their participation and respond adequately to their practical needs, strategic interests and key demands. 329.     Under Component 2 the beneficiary target groups (producer associations, cooperatives, women´s organizations, indigenous people’s organizations) through participating in the soy and beef platforms will strengthen their political, social and economic empowerment. In these spaces, they will take part in dialogues, negotiations and decision making on an equal footing with public sector, traders, financial and other stakeholders on issues such as land use planning, sustainable production standards, financing, land and forest restoration, green seals, market access and responsible purchasing, gender and interculturality. This will enable to include proposals that balance the social, economic and environmental aspects of their development in the action plans of the platforms. By participating in the women´s platform and indigenous peoples working groups, women and indigenous peoples will strengthen their advocacy capacities.  This will enable them to participate more actively and perform more efficiently in the platform meetings with all stakeholders with the purpose of proposing and incorporating gender and culturally sensitive actions that respond to their interests in the action plans of the platforms.  In addition, 2,000 producers (5% women as minimum initial estimate to be confirmed during implementation) will be strengthened to apply land use planning and management with biodiversity considerations, SLM and adopt sustainable production standards. This will seek firstly to reverse or reduce land degradation at the farm level, so that in a second stage it will be possible to increase the productivity of these areas, thereby increasing the income generated for the producer, while conserving and restoring forests and biodiversity and enhancing carbon stocks.  Women producers will be prioritized in the selection of demonstration farms and will receive technical and financial assistance to implement sustainable practices. This will allow to position and highlight women as producers and leaders, improve their economy and will serve as motivation for other women when exchanging experiences with their peers, increasing the interest of women in land planning and management as well as greater participation in training and outreach activities sponsored by the project (webinars, workshops and other events).330.     Under Component 3, small landowners and communities (small farmers and indigenous peoples) will be supported to develop gender-sensitive and culturally relevant management plans for income diversification and investments. Beneficiaries will benefit from technical assistance to implement plans, including equipment, inputs, materials and training required for the productive proposals identified in their plans, increasing their food safety and achieving income diversification, while contributing to habitat conservation and restoration and carbon stock enhancement. Furthermore, the project will produce an analysis comparing property income with and without forest resource management, presenting numerical values to be able to show producers the economic value of maintaining forest resources (forest maintenance costs vs potential income from marketing environmental services certificates) that will serve to demonstrate landowners the advantages for becoming interested in restoration and subsequent certification under Law 3001/06.  This will help generate additional incomes for landowners while enhancing forest conservation and restoration in their properties.331.    Under Component 4, 5.000 producers (5% women as minimum initial estimate to be confirmed during implementation) will have increased their understanding and knowledge on the environmental regulatory framework, sustainable production practices, BD conservation, SLM and will be able to replicate the experiences and socio-economic benefits generated through Components 2 and 3.332.    Project interventions and enhanced beneficiary capacities will result in local and regional benefits in terms of better livelihoods, preservation of rural lifestyle, cultural reassertion, and environmental sustainability that contribute to supporting long-term global environmental benefits. In particular, the benefits are: i) Conserving, restoring and maintaining ecosystem services provided by forests and other ecosystems; ii) Maintaining cultural, aesthetic and spiritual benefits, scenic beauty, preserving places of cultural significance, territorial identity, and valuing the natural heritage; iii) Economic benefits through new sources of diversification, income, food security of small holders, local and indigenous communities; iv) Social benefits in terms of alliances and empowerment of local communities and stakeholders (including women and indigenous peoples).              </narrative></description><participating-org role="1" type="40" ref="47044" activity-id=""><narrative>Global Environment Facility</narrative></participating-org>

       <description type="2">
       <narrative>To transform the linear, wasteful solid waste management sector in Paraguay into an environmentally sound and sustainable model by restricting the type of products imported, promoting awareness, segregating and managing hazardous POPs and mercury-containing fractions in an environmentally sound way. </narrative>
	   </description><description type="4"><narrative>Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.</narrative></description><description type="3"><narrative>There are various socio-economic benefits which will be delivered by the project at national and local levels. The project will create the necessary legislative framework to advance in the ESM agenda by promoting POPs alternatives, BAT/BEP and RECP for separate valuable/recyclable resources and final disposal of non-recyclable POPs and Hg-containing wastes. In addition, the project will support the implementation of four demonstration and replicable projects, which will result in a reduction of POPs, u-POPs, mercury and greenhouse gases releases currently impacting human health and the environment, as well as in the recovery of valuable resources. The reduction in POPs, u-POPs and mercury releases will ultimately reduce future health care costs, human suffering and costs for environmental remediation as a result of pollution caused by these toxics. Reducing the greenhouse gases releases will contribute to reducing climate change and its global impacts.The project will improve the monitoring and analysis frameworks, to safeguard human health and the environment.The demonstration projects will benefit from the GEF funds and investments accounted as project co-financing. Such funds and investments will be used to put in place Best Available Technologies (BAT) and introduce Best Environmental Practices (BEP), which will allow the country to advance the ESM agenda at national and local levels, creating local and national capacities for the recycling and treatment of various types of wastes, while reducing POPS, u-POPs and mercury releases.The project will strengthen the national capacity and awareness to accelerate the adoption of ESM principles, BAT/BEP, financing options resulting in sustainable and POPs and mercury (Hg)-free operations, considering gender dimensions related to these matters.Social sustainability will be ensured by strengthening public participation and ensuring access to project outcomes to the general public. In particular, local communities, women and children will be involved in project activities to ensure that risks and problems associated with POPs and Hg will be properly addressed and mitigation strategies can be formulated. The general public will also be informed about health and environmental risks related to POPs and Hg and benefits of the implementation of ESM, BAT and BEP concepts.In addition, the project will create job opportunities in the waste treatment and recycling industry.</narrative></description><participating-org role="1" type="40" ref="47044" activity-id=""><narrative>Global Environment Facility</narrative></participating-org>

       <narrative>To reduce the negative environmental and social impacts caused by intensive mercury use in Paraguay's artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sector. </narrative>
	   </description><description type="4"><narrative>Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.</narrative></description><description type="3"><narrative>This project aims to reduce mercury pollution and mitigate the environmental and social impacts of ASGM in Paraguay. A significant aspect of this is increasing the professionalization of the mining sector and adjacent organizations, for greater operational efficiency, environmental compliance and improved market access for responsibly sourced gold. Professionalization can also foster entrepreneurship, economic diversification and alternative livelihoods by promoting responsible mining practices and diversifying income sources beyond mining. Improved access to finance through formalized channels can further support investments in safer technologies and infrastructure upgrades, reducing occupational risks and improving overall worker safety and health. In addition, the project's focus on social cohesion and community participation will strengthen local governance structures, promote inclusive decision-making processes and empower marginalized groups, including women, by providing them with training, access to resources and creating more equitable opportunities within the ASGM sector. Overall, these interventions not only contribute to mercury reduction and environmental protection, but also foster sustainable development, resilience and socio-economic prosperity in mining-affected communities in Paraguay. In line with the above, relevant socio-economic indicators have been included as part of the results logical framework (refer to Appendix C).</narrative></description><participating-org role="1" type="40" ref="47044" activity-id=""><narrative>Global Environment Facility</narrative></participating-org>

Enhanced management effectiveness of protected areas and improved practices in landscapes will help to secure the ecosystems and associated goods and services these systems provide to local communities and the broader society in terms of water security, food, medicine, fuel, food, clean air, and carbon sequestration.  Indigenous communities will benefit directly from three diversified livelihood programmes in terms of capacity building and start-up support, with a view to reduce their reliance on the extractive use of natural resources as their sole source of income.  The Private Sector will benefit from the implementation of jaguar-centric cattle ranching practices, through ten (10) custom-designed management plans that meet the particular needs of each ranch, and in the adoption and application of market-based incentives for the conservation of jaguars in productive areas of the buffer zones of protected areas in the Chaco Biosphere Reserve, in the implementation of non-lethal strategies for conflict reduction, and from the demonstration of the economic feasibility of non-lethal methods of control. Staff of the Directorate of Protected Areas within MADES will benefit from enhanced capacity building for the management of protected areas, as well as at the institutional level in terms of reforms to the legal framework to facilitate their work in protected areas management.   Enforcement officers (police and military) will benefit from gender-balanced training in evidence gathering and other associated disciplines to address wildlife crimes, and prosecutors and judges will benefit from gender-balanced training in case file preparation, case management, legal interpretation, and other associated disciplines for the successful prosecution of wildlife crimes.</narrative></description><participating-org role="1" type="40" ref="47044" activity-id=""><narrative>Global Environment Facility</narrative></participating-org>

Enhanced management effectiveness of the Sub-System of Protected Areas in Paraguay from a well-financed system will help to secure the ecosystems and associated goods and services these systems provide to local communities and the broader society in terms of water security, food, medicine, fuel, food, clean air, and carbon sequestration.  The 780,833 metric tons of CO2e to be sequestered as a result of project interventions on 120,991 hectares of PAs will make an important contribution to global efforts to reduce Green House Gases in the best interest of mankind.The project expects to foster an economic environment and strengthen livelihoods of the local communities through the the Training of Trainers Program In Sustainable Alternative Livelihoods in PA Buffer Zones’ and will provide micro-business incubation support to 10 demonstration projects based on the alternative livelihoods training provided to communities in the PA buffer zones. At the institutional level, the Directorate General for the Protection and Conservation of Biodiversity will benefit from a strengthened policy and legal framework while its personnel will benefit from training in the interpretation and implementation of the Revised Park Rangers Law and the technical skills needed for proper field monitoring of PAs. This Directorate will also benefit from a new module of the Environmental Information System (SIAM) to be able to link and integrate PA monitoring data and METT results to the system. Communities in the buffer zones of the five prioritized protected areas will benefit from micro-business start-up and incubation support via 10 demonstration projects based on the alternative livelihoods training that will be provided prior. Key organizations in Government Agencies, NGOs and Civil Society will benefit from training in the design, governance, and implementation of PFPs. Policy makers (in the legislature and the executive branches of government) will benefit from policy dialogues while local communities will benefit from participation in Consultative Groups to be established for the five prioritized PAs. The global conservation and PA management community will benefit from lessons learned on PFP development and management to be presented at regional and global events, as appropriate.</narrative></description><participating-org role="1" type="40" ref="47044" activity-id=""><narrative>Global Environment Facility</narrative></participating-org>
