Extension of Kasanka Management System to Lavushi Manda National Park NA Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.
Zambia National Child Project under the GEF Africa Minigrids Program The project objective is to â€œsupport access to clean energy by increasing the financial viability, and promoting scaled-up commercial investment, in low-carbon mini-grids in Zambia with a focus on cost-reduction levers and innovative business modelsâ€. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. 1. Clean energy access through minigrids has the potential to bring multiple benefits to off-grid communities as shown in the table below                              Potential direct minigrid benefits  Household  Food preparation; Study after sunset; Information and communication technologies; Increased comfort; Leisure and learning; Food conservation and better nutrition;   Productive use  Reduced physical effort; Faster processing; Cheaper price; Greater range of services; Business after dark; Trade without travelling; Market information; Cool and frozen products; Irrigation  Community  Medical &amp; education services after dark; Safe communities; Clean and reliable water supply; Less time spent, less distance travelled; Local new services; Digital government services     2. In addition, the Project will provide direct employment, which is estimated at 10 per minigrid on average (about 50 people in total; (of which 20 women), not including temporary workers. Regarding indirect supply chain effects, the expansion of the minigrid sector will boost new employment opportunities. The project includes actions to facilitate access to minigrid-related jobs through training, and a revision of recruitment strategies, taking advantage of the appeal of the new technologies for potential workers (Output 1.3).     3.Socioeconomic development and climate change are intricately linked, with social and economic activities climate forcing and climate change determining climate impacts which in turn affect socio-economic developments. For example, the realization of minigrid electrification will have both environmental and socio-economic impacts. Seeing both the direct environmental (cleaner development) and socioeconomic benefits (new skilled jobs and better services; electrification at a lower cost than conventional grid extension) will attract private and public developers and eventually transform the market into self-sustained growth.

Ecosystem conservation and community livelihood enhancement in North Western Zambia To strengthen community-based sustainable management of forest landscapes, and provide improved livelihood opportunities for targeted forest-dependent rural communities in Zambia's North West Province. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The generation of benefits for communities from forests and other natural resources is a crucial part of the strategies for generating global environmental benefits. Communities will invest in the protection and sustainable management of forests and natural resources if this generates substantial employment, revenues and other benefits for them. This project makes exceptonal efforts to maximse enterprise development and inclusive revenue generation within the bounds of sustainable forest management. On the other hand, individuals and households will freely invest in the destruction of forests in order to convert them into de facto privately owned crop land. Conversion of forests to crop land is the greatest cause of forest loss in NWP and in Zambia. A global desk study funded by USAID has recently shown that any form of agricultural intensification that results in and increase in the profitability of agriculture will ultimately lead to greater loss of forest. To counter this, the Project seeks to increase the profitability of the community forests and to generate additional revenues for community enterprises and for the community as a whole, with emphasis on benefit sharing and gender equality. Output 1.1. will include a socio-economic review that will be repeated before the TE to document changes in revenues/benefits.The Project has therefore been designed to deliver socio-economic benefits to Zambia at the local level through activities at the target sites to empower communities to identify livelihood projects that they see as a priority for their area while delivering global environment benefits. By improving the governance of forests in Game Management Areas and bordering communal lands, more sustainable forest and natural resource management will generate tangible socio-economic benefits. At the target sites, socio-economic benefits will accrue to the communities through recruitment into the Community Forest Management Groups, forest guards and the training that will be provided. This will lead to improved employment opportunities, with increased revenues for individuals, as well as the trickle-down effect on local vendors and service providers. The measurement and monitoring of climate resilience within the smallholder economy are essential to ensure the project is making progress in advancing resilience and to allow for adaptive implementation measures if progress is not being made. In this regard, the project will explore the use of specific tools such as the “Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of Climate Resilience of farmers and Pastoralists” (SHARP) tool developed by FAO which aims to address the need to better understand and incorporate the situations, concerns and interests of farmers relating to climate resilience and agriculture.
