Fortalecimiento de sujetos claves de cambio para la Construccin de Paz en Chiapas Indigenous and rural communities in Chiapas, Mexico, face increasing challenges due to violence resulting from conflict. The increasing complexity of conflict between and among communities arising from land disputes, power struggles, differences over faith issues, or other disagreements between groups undermines social and economic development. The IAF supports community-led solutions to promote peaceful solutions to conflict and chronic violence. Our grantee Comisin de Apoyo a la Unidad y Reconciliacin Comunitaria, A. C. (CORECO) supports the development of skills among Indigenous and rural communities to analyze conflict, engage groups to peacefully transform conflict, and resolve thorny issues that could easily escalate into violence. This grant brings faith-based strategies and diverse Indigenous networks to the IAF's approach to overcoming chronic violence.

Sustainable Land Management to Strengthen Social Cohesion in the Drylands of Burkina Faso To enhance the national frameworks for the achievement of the national LDN targets, while promoting social cohesion in selected landscapes in the Centre-Nord region through the practical application of the LDN concept. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The project will increase knowledge on LDN and SLM at national and local levels, which will contribute to enabling stakeholders to make evidence-based decisions, while supporting social cohesion in the Centre-Nord region. Pilot sites will benefit from sustainable land management that will directly contribute to food security, economic activity and improvement of livelihoods. Through the support provided to the implementation of LDN actions contributing to social cohesion, the development of local key value chains, sustainable financing and capacity building of MSMEs, the project will generate sustainable socio-economic benefits for the stakeholders involved in the project, including for women and youth. Specifically, the livelihoods of local communities in the communes will be enhanced, through the land restoration and SLM actions, which will secure valuable ecosystem services, generate socio-economic benefits through the support provided to green economy and the establishment of a financing platform for LDN targeted businesses. The benefits will include, among others: i) increased financial security through diversified livelihoods; ii) increased food security; iii) increased social cohesion; and iv) women and youth empowerment.
Integrated and Sustainable Management of PONASI Protected Area Landscape To safeguard critical wildlife habitat, biodiversity and ecosystem services in the PONASI Protected Area complex through integrated landscape management, generating multiple benefits for sustainable development in the southern central Burkina Faso.

Sustainable management of dryland landscapes in Burkina Faso To achieve large-scale restoration of dryland landscapes and sustainable livelihoods in Burkina Faso through adoption of sustainable land management practices by rural communities. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The project will strengthen the governance and management frameworks for dryland management across three landscapes that cover 10 communes. These landscapes are multi-use systems that are essential to the food security and livelihoods of the approximately people who live within them. The ecosystems of the landscapes are also vital to residents of the landscapes, and people beyond, who rely on them for food production, water management, energy and many other services. Over numerous decades, the environmental and socio-economic conditions within the project area have been heavily impacted by land degradation due to human interventions and climate change and variability. Today, these areas are facing numerous environmental problems that affect socio-economic conditions. The changes that have happened and their negative environmental impacts have significantly affected production systems (e.g., and resulted in increased conflicts over land and natural resources. Establishing effective governance and management systems for restoration and sustainable development will provide an improved means for stakeholders to dialogue and develop solutions to priority environmental problems. The project will build off traditional knowledge and scientific evidence to develop climate-proof restoration, management and natural resource use strategies that are sustainable and can be adapted to respond to changing conditions. The application of these strategies will contribute to maintaining or improving the values and functions of the landscapes’ ecosystems, improving their resilience, their ability to supply critical services and their ability to support multiple production systems. In turn this will build the adaptive capacity and resilience of local communities and the broader stakeholder community in the face of growing anthropogenic pressures and climate variability.    In addition, the project will improve the capacity and resilience of local communities by strengthening the viability and sustainability of key agro-sylvo-pastoral value chains upon which the vast majority of people within the landscape rely for their food security and livelihoods. Without the intervention of this project, unsustainable practices and anthropogenic pressures will continue to negatively impact and degrade the area targeted by this project. These negative impacts will put at risk the ecological and livelihood systems upon which local communities directly depend and will increase the stressors confronting thousands of households across the region. These households will also have reduced flexibility to respond to the impacts of climate change.

GEF GOLD: Contribution Towards the Elimination of Mercury and Improvement of the Gold Value Chain in the Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Sector Expand the elimination of mercury in ASGM operations, facilitate access to finance, and improve the gold supply chain to provide miners in Burkina Faso more direct access to the international market Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The long-term planned impact of the project is to transform the ASGM sector in Burkina Faso from an informal/illegal activity to a fully formalized source of livelihood for a significant part of the population. Gold as a commodity has a very high value and the potential to change the socioeconomic conditions of the artisanal miners. At the local level and by introducing an integrated gold supply chain approach in Burkina Faso, the project will offer higher gold prices to the miners, hence directly providing them with economic benefits. In addition, the revolving fund will enhance miner’s accessibility to mercury free processing plants which can contribute to overall reduction of mercury in the sector. The promotion of social enterprises for mining community and gender mainstreaming will positively contribute to socio benefits. At the national level, the development of a sound ASGM legal framework will generate an increase of formal artisanal gold production, reducing thus the illegal export of gold out of the country. This will mean additional resources for the government that can then be allocated for the development at the country at large.

Inclusive Education for Children with disabilities in Gedarif State The project will improve access of vulnerable children with disabilities (CWDs) to inclusive primary education (IE) in 3 localities. Building on a pilot which has established IE bodies within the education system from school to state level and linked to national level, the project will establish the first model for the NSIE in Sudan in 13 schools. ADD will enhance existing DPOs’ capacity to raise awareness of families, community and teachers of CWDs’ rights to education, and to advocate for government’s (and multilaterals’) wider adoption and funding of the model to implement the NSIE. As a result 300 CWD will access inclusive education, communities will be more inclusive of them and the MoE will be well informed to replicate the model.

Apetit Project Apetit (or the Company) is a leading meat trader and processor in Kosovo providing industrials and consumers with frozen meat, fresh meat cuts, and, cured meat products such as sujuk and prosciutto.   Apetit seeks to grow and modernize its operations.   To do so, the Company is planning to (i) establish a large and modern slaughterhouse, which will comply with EU regulations on food safety, (ii) integrate upstream by setting up a cattle farm, which will partly replace Apetits imports, and, (iii) powering all its facilities (the slaughterhouse, the farm and the meat processing plant) with solar panels. The most significant, expected Project-level outcome is the provision of safe meat and associated products to the domestic consumers and expanded income opportunities for the local farmers. In addition, the Project will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of Kosovo's meat processing sector by showcasing modern production practices and international food safety standards, which would be disseminated though demonstration and replication effects.
KEP Agri 1 Project The proposed investment is an IFC senior debt investment of up to EUR8.0 million, with a Blended Finance contribution from the Private Sector Window (PSW) of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) to KEP Trust (KEP, or the Organization). The proposed investment will help to boost the Organizations micro and small enterprises portfolio, with at least 50 percent of the proceeds to be used for lending to agribusiness borrowers including farmers. The project fits IFCs and GAFSPs strategy by directly supporting investment in micro and small enterprises and agribusiness in Kosovo.      Established as an NGO in 1999, KEP is Kosovos largest MFI with a market share of 26 percent.  It is headquartered in Pristina and an existing IFC client since 2018. Significant expected developmental impact will be derived from increased access to finance to microenterprises, with a focus on agri-businesses and thereby will improve funding opportunities for small farmers.  Despite its contribution to the country's GDP (10.5 percent of GDP as of 2016 and 12.9 percent in 2017) and employment (29.8 percent), Kosovo's agricultural sector remains underserved by banks, due to an unfavorable production structure and high costs of assessing multiple small farmers. As a result, Agrifinancing is becoming the main domain of the MFls with at least 25 percent of loans from MFIs going to agriculture over the past 6 years. IFC's support on this project will help the MFIs to further strengthen their impact in this sector. The expected impact of the co-investment with GAFSP is also critical as it will help to properly price the project, making funding affordable, and consequently, on-lending to microentrepreneurs and end-users in Kosovo. 

Furthermore, it is anticipated that from this project there will be increased inclusiveness in the micro finance market via demonstration and replication channels.

         The Project entails IFC investment in Agency for Finance in Kosovo (AFK), one of the leading microfinance institutions (MFI) in Kosovo, a fragile and conflicted state (FCS) and IDA country, to support expansion of its lending program to domestic individuals, micro and small enterprises (MSEs) including  
         micro agricultural farms and very small agri-processing companies. 
          The investment will be provided in Euro for up to three years from IFCs own account and  
         in its capacity as Implementing Entity of the Private Sector Window of 
           
         Global Agricultural and Food Security Program  
         (GAFSP). The project is expected to have strong development impact as it will lead to: (i) increased access to finance for individuals and micro entrepreneurs operating in agrisector in an IDA and FCS country which will lead to farm productivity enhancements, better livelihoods and food security; (ii) higher competitiveness in the sector that will directly increase the range of products and services, with special focus on agriculture; and, (iii) creation of new jobs for individuals and micro entrepreneurs, including women, in rural areas. Beyond economic considerations, Kosovo's reliance on agriculture also has a crucial social dimension. Approximately 60% of the country's poor live in rural areas and depend on the agricultural sector for living. In this context, the project will reach the base of the pyramid by directly supporting the most vulnerable segments of the population.
KEP AGRI MSE 2 The proposed investment is an IFC senior debt investment of up to EUR9 million to  KEP Trust (KEP or the Organization) , a leading microfinance institution in Kosovo. The investment will be shared equally between IFCs own account and concessional financing provided by the Global Agriculture & Food Security Program (GAFSP). The proceeds from the proposed investment will be used  for on-lending to individual entrepreneurs and micro-businesses in Kosovo, including smallholder farmers, microenterprises, women-owned small businesses and entrepreneurs operating in the agriculture sector and underserved rural areas.
