Rural Energy
The key development objective of the Learning and Innovation Loan is to support the Government in implementing its strategy for increasing access to electricity in rural and peri-urban and in promoting the adoption of Renewable Energy Technologies (RET). The project’s global environment objective is to remove barriers to application, implementation and dissemination of RET. Removal of barriers will make it attractive for the private sector to start investing in decentralized rural electrification schemes, and operate these on a fully commercial basis.
Implementation of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) Toward Achievement of the Integrated Management of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (LME)
Several major transboundary problems affecting the Benguela Current ecosystem have been identified during PDF-B works, the principal one being the decline of commercial fish stocks and non-optimal harvesting of living resources exacerbated by natural environmental variability. Additional concerns are the deterioration of water quality due to mining and drilling activities, the loss of critical habitats and threats to biodiversity.
Sustainable Land Management in the Zambian Miombo Woodland Ecosystem
The goals of the proposed project are: (i) a reduction of carbon emissions from unsustainable slash-and-burn agricultural practices in the Miombo woodlands; (ii) the conservation of globally significant biodiversity; and (iii) improvement of the food security of the local population. In order to achieve these goals, the project will promote a shift in land management from the currently practised chitemene system to a sustainable land management system, based upon integrated ecosystem management (IEM) and conservation farming (CF) principles.
Reducing Dependence on POPs and other Agro-Chemicals in the Senegal and Niger River Basins through Integrated Production, Pest and Pollution Management
The project is focused on the two principal river basins in the West African sub-region, the Niger and Senegal River Basins, and addresses riverine contamination issues related mostly to irrigated-farming activities in six countries. The Project Development objective is to protect transboundary waters in the Niger and Senegal River Basins through elimination of POPs pesticide-use and substantial reduction and elimination of other toxic pesticides used in agriculture; while augmenting agricultural productivity and net economic benefits to farmers.
Santiago Foothills: Mountain Ecosystem Conservation
The goal of the project is to protect, conserve, and restore in-situ a 12,900 ha area located in proximity to Santiago consisting of a representative example of a Mediterranean-mountainous ecosystem (i.e., the Santiago Foothills) and support the continued functioning of the ecosystem’s ecological processes on which much of the city depends.
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in the Peruvian Amazon by the Indigenous Ashaninka Population
Globally significant biodiversity within Asháninka territories and surrounding state forestlands is conserved under community management, and alternative livelihood opportunities benefit local inhabitants and reduce pressure on natural resources.
Development of National Implementation Plan for Vietnam in the Process of Accession, Implementation and Enforcement of the Newly-signed Stockholm Convention on POPs
Development Objective: Protection of Environment and Human Health achieved through environmentally sound management of POPs in Vietnam, including development of infrastructure and disposal capacity for POPs, building knowledge, exchange information and experience, development of treatment and disposal technologies for POPs waste, building capacity of analytical capacity, and application of cleaner production to reduce releases of POPs into environment.
Building Human and Institutional Capacities to Address Climate Change Issues in 46 Least-Developed Countries
The least developed countries (LDCs) represent the poorest and weakest segment of the international community. The economic and social development of these countries represents a major challenge for LDCs themselves, as well as for their development partners.
