Strengthening management of protected and productive landscapes in the Surinamese Amazon Securing equitable management of Surinameâ€™s protected and productive landscapes through integrated approaches that deliver mutually supportive conservation and sustainable livelihood benefits. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The generation of socioeconomic benefits (opportunities for improved livelihoods, increased income, gender equity and improved access and control of natural resources) along with environmental benefits are an important aspect of this project and directly mentioned in the project objective and outcomes 1 and 2. The first two components of the projects are field-oriented and the activities will be carried out in direct coordination and with the participation of local communities. In addition, the landscape assessment and planning under Component 3 will be done in direct collaboration with the indigenous peoples’ groups in South Suriname. Through these activities, the project seeks to improve biodiversity conservation through sustainable ecosystem management, including territorial management plans (inside and outside protected areas) and activities that improve the livelihoods of people living in the biodiverse landscapes. By promoting productive activities based on SFM (timber and non-timber products), nature-based tourism and agroforestry, 2300 men and women will directly benefit in the targeted landscapes of the project. The improved food security, better livelihoods and increased awareness will directly contribute to the global environmental benefits of the project, because they will help to reduce the pressure on the forests both within and outside protected areas and promote more sustainable activities related to forestry, agroforestry, and nature-based tourism, among others.
Leaders of Peace - AMA South Sudan has been engaged in a peace process for years. It remains important to emphasize the role of women and youth in peacebuilding. The consortium consisting of Plan International, AMA, EVE, HealthNet, and PAX implements the Leaders of Peace Programme in Eastern, Western and Central Equatoria, Unity, and Lakes. Juba will be the central location to link advocacy work to national platforms and decision-makers. The alliance is coordinated by Plan International (consortium lead) from January 2021 to December 2025 and aims to achieve and sustain a more empowering and inclusive environment in South Sudan for women and girls. To achieve this, we enable and support civil society organisations (CSOs) with the capacity, resources and legitimacy to influence government and societal actors. At the same time, the programme mobilizes key decision-makers to work towards inclusive laws, policies, norms and practices to achieve gender equality and female participation in decision-making. Result Area 1: Improved implementation of policies and regulations on GBV and protection of W/G including psychosocial support and self-care.
When W/G know their rights, have access to and use MHPSS and legal protection services, while in parallel formal/ traditional authorities will implement laws and policies against GBV as well as protect survivors after being informed on these topics, W/G will be less vulnerable to physical and emotional harm .
Result Area  2: Changed attitudes and beliefs of civil society to facilitate inclusion of W/G and promote gender equality.
Changing harmful norms and attitudes includes transforming violent masculinities by targeting influential powerholders (men/boys) as allies and positive role models, to jointly advocate with women and youth groups for GE, as well as for equal participation of W/Y groups.
Result Area  3: Increased and effective participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding.
Increased, influential participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding is possible when W/Y facilitate political positioning and influencing across ethnic/religious/conflict lines, together with male counterparts (as well linked to RA2).
The overall strategic objective of the Leaders of Peace programme is, that by the end of 2025, women and girls live in a more empowering and inclusive environment in South Sudan, where they feel safer and better enabled to realise their rights, so they can play an influential role towards conflict prevention and sustainable peace. Beneficiaries are community members in the different locations. More specifically, women and youth as well as influential persons in the community will be targeted. Moreover, the programme will strengthen capacities and learning between consortium members and their local partners.
