Landscape governance systems through participatory decision-making processes among community groups themselves or neighboring communities will be implemented, while promoting knowledge sharing among communities and other stakeholders outside the target landscape will be the focus to upscale and replicate the activities. Once strategic interventions regarding capacity enhancement has been established, component two will support specific EbA activities that are organized and executed to support the implementation of landscape strategies. This will be achieved though the implementation of a Small Grant Finance mechanism to address the financial, capacity and adaptation needs. Component three will support learning and knowledge management activities with the aim to capture and disseminate lessons learned and to influence policy. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-sap006-eif-namibia.pdf |

These changes in climate have reduced water availability and increased soil aridity, resulting in declining agricultural yields and impacting the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in this region. In Southern Zimbabwe, rainfall is predicted to decrease by 15 per cent and runoff by 20 per cent in provinces of Manicaland, Masvingo and Matabeleland South, leading to higher food deficits and higher food prices, as well as higher number of drought-related livestock deaths. The project proposes to address these observed and projected climate impacts and build the resilience of smallholder farmers in three semi-arid agroecological regions of southern Zimbabwe. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-fp127.pdf |

The project is built on the government strong baseline investment made in light of the Namibia Comprehensive Conservation Agriculture Programme (NCCAP) and revised Namibia Agriculture Policy of 2015. It will run over a period of 60 months consisting of three components with five separate (for administration purposes) but directly indivisible interlinked outcomes to be attained, which are fully elaborated in section C. CRAVE has two sub-objectives: a) To strengthen the adaptive capacity, scale up adoption of effective coping mechanisms and measures (for example comprehensive conservation agriculture and micro drip irrigation), and implement on-the-ground adaptation actions and practices that assist vulnerable subsistence farmers3 (i.e. females and males) to reduce vulnerabilities to climate change, erratic weather patterns, seasonal rainfall shifts, heat and drought. b) To provide rural crop males and females farmers with alternative sustainable access to off-grid solar energy technologies (water pumping for small-scale micro horticultural systems, and refrigeration for harvested food) and reduce the dependency of increasingly expensive (and environmentally unfriendly) imported fuels by promoting solar water pumping in the agricultural sector. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-fp023-eif-namibia.pdf |

Its aim is to address the combined effects of climate change and resource degradation. The main objective of the initiative is to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable rural populations living in ecologically fragile areas of Senegal through the sustainable management of community inter-village silvo-pastoral reserves. This practice has also shown to improve soil carbon sequestration and the resilience of local species (Diouf et al., 2014). Forest products (wood and non-wood products) from these areas increasingly provide sustainable sources of incomes for rural populations. In the groundnut basin, there exist a number of species and products with high socio-economic potential. In addition, these areas provide environmental services, for example through reducing erosion and improving soil fertility (Sanogo, 2011). | https://www.transparency-partnership.net/system/files/migrated_document_files/190710_gpd_senegal_promotion_of_forest_areas_rz.pdf |

USAID/CINSERE aims to increase the access and use of climate information services (CIS) to generate better decision-making in the face of climate change and climate variability. The main beneficiaries of USAID/CINSERE are stakeholders living in the zone of influence of USAID/Naatal Mbay, USAID/COMFISH, USAID/Yaajeende and USAID/ERA. These four Activities have invested significant resources in creating and strengthening local agriculture and fishing groups, and institutions. The goal of USAID/CINSERE is to increase the resilience and productivity of targeted Senegalese farming, fishing and pastoralist communities, including members of both sexes, in the FtF Zone of Influence, in the face of climate variability and change, through the improved provision, communication, and use of climate information and services. This goal will be achieved through (i) building national level capacity in producing and delivering and using CIS and (ii) developing a sustainable framework for scaling-up CIS use. | https://ccafs.cgiar.org/blog/scaling-out-useful-climate-services-increased-resilience-and-productivity-senegal#.X5rRzYhKjIV |

In the CAR, the goal was to empower rural smallholders to better manage climate-related risks and seize local opportunities. Through improving farming techniques, financial capacities and governance structures at the community level, the programme sought to strengthen community resilience in the wake of climate change and with a view to address other, interrelated and structural socio-economic issues. The programme was initiated through a partnership between the CAR through its Ministry of Agriculture and national and international NGOs. | https://www.transparency-partnership.net/system/files/migrated_document_files/191021_gpd_boxesofresilience_web.pdf |

Within the framework of PRISE, Burkina Faso has benefited from three research projects: P1, P3 and P7. P1 focuses on future migration. P3 is focused on the impacts of climate change on private actors in the cotton value chain. Finally, P7 centres on water governance in semi-arid lands. P7 specifically examined how agricultural communities in the Central Plateau of Burkina Faso – a semi-arid region of high food insecurity - manage water and land resources in the context of increasing climate variability (Newborne and Gansaonré, 2017). P1, P3 and P7 act as interconnected and complementary projects within this broader research context. | https://www.transparency-partnership.net/system/files/migrated_document_files/191202_gpd_burkinafaso_prisefinaldraft_web.pdf |

All of these factors have led to a loss of income (Drame and Kiema, 2016). This situation has led actors in this area to initiate the practice of ecotourism. This has included direct community involvement in the protection of the region’s natural resources through activities such as protecting the communal forest and establishing an ecotourism camp including modest accommodation, food services, extraction and sale of forest products owned and managed by the community. The activities in Tumani Tenda are supported by various organisations, including the National Environment Agency (NEA), the Saint Joseph Family Farm project and the Ministry of Water and Forests (ibid). | https://www.transparency-partnership.net/system/files/migrated_document_files/191202_gpd_gambia_ecotourism_web.pdf |
