To advance the conservation of healthy and functional forests and wetlands resilient to climate change, maintaining carbon stocks, preventing GHG emissions, and generating sustainable and resilient local livelihoods[1].

[1] The Project will deploy field interventions in and around protected areas (PA) and indigenous territories (IT); supported by regional, national and international actions. All interventions will adopt adaptive, gender, and intercultural approaches, and respond to Peru’s NDC for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

To reverse and prevent dryland ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss through an inclusive, integrated landscape and value chain approach securing multiple environment benefits and sustainable, resilient livelihoods in the Eastern Steppe of Mongolia.

To halt and reverse negative trends of land degradation and biodiversity loss in degraded areas of the Miombo woodlands in the south-west of Tanzania by applying an integrated landscape management approach.

To initiate a transformational shift towards sustainable, integrated management of multi-use dryland landscapes in northern Namibia, building on Land Degradation Neutrality principles

Securing equitable management of Suriname’s protected and productive landscapes through integrated approaches that deliver mutually supportive conservation and sustainable livelihood benefits.

To maximize the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of GEF-7 investments in sustainable drylands management to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality

Sustainable management of the Miombo and Mopane productive landscapes of the Districts of Balaka, Ntcheu and Mangochi, contributing to national land degradation neutrality targets.

Promote the integrated management of Miombo and Mopane landscapes in Chobe and Tutume-Mosetse sub-basins through the implementation of SLM and SFM interventions designed to achieve LDN targets.

20,000 hectares of degraded lands restored (primarily cultivated agricultural lands)
565,000 hectares of landscapes under improved practices
140,660 hectares of lands achieving LDN (primarily productive cultivated and grazing lands in Miombo/Mopane landscapes avoid, reduce and reverse LD)
637,745 tCO2eq sequestered or avoided over 20-years due to direct project interventions

Project Objective:
To initiate a transformational shift towards sustainable, integrated management of multi-use dryland landscapes in the Miombo-Mopane ecoregions of Angola (Okavango and Cunene river basins) based on Land Degradation Neutrality principles

To promote the sustainable management of Miombo and Mopane production landscapes in Save and Runde sub-basins following an LDN approach.
