Forum Syd Green Ownership 2017-2021 Forum Syd Grönt Ägarskap 2017-2021 In September 2016 Forum Syd submitted a proposal to Sida for support to the programme Go! Green Ownership 2017-2019. After dialogue with the Embassy during the period September - December, Forum Syd submitted complementary information regarding the programme, on 21st November, and a final budget on 23rd December 2016. The contribution is an independent continuation on the previously supported programme ""Forum Syd - Environment and Climate with human rights and gender perspective", (contribution 51100070). During the previous agreement period, Sida gave a support of 45 000 000 SEK for the period 2014-2016. 

The new programme, which builds on previous experiences and programme results, aim to strengthen local organisations to engage poor and vulnerable groups, including women, to manage the root causes to inequalities related to access to, use of and control over natural resources. Marginalised groups will have support to demand their rights, and local authorities are provided support to implement poverty focused and sustainable development plans regarding the management of natural resources and adaptation to climate changes. A rights based approach is the basis for the intervention. The programme amounts to an amount of 49,300,000 SEK for the period March 2017-December 2019. Sida is requested to fund the whole programme. 

The programme and the assessment was subject to a Quality Assurance committee review on 13th February 2017. Comments and recommendations from this review were incorporated into this assessment. Forum Syd inkom i september 2016 med en ansökan till Sida om stöd till programmet Go! Green Ownership 2017-2019. Efter dialog med ambassaden under perioden september - december inkom Forum Syd med kompletterande information rörande programmet den 21 november, samt inlämnade en slutlig budget den 23 december 2016. Insatsen är en fristående fortsättning på tidigare stöd till programmet "Forum Syd - Environment and Climate with human rights and gender perspective", (insatsnummer 51100070). Under föregående avtalsperiod gav Sida ett stöd om 45 000 000 SEK för åren 2014-2016. 

Det nya programmet, som bygger på tidigare erfarenheter och programresultat, syftar till att stärka lokala organisationer att engagera fattiga och utsatta befolkningsgrupper, inklusive kvinnor, att hantera grundorsaker till ojämlikhet avseende tillträde till, nyttjande av och kontroll över naturresurser. Marginaliserade grupper ska få stöd i att kräva sina rättigheter, och lokala myndigheter ska få stöd i att genomföra fattigdomsfokuserade och hållbara planer avseende hantering av naturresurser och anpassning till klimatförändringar. En rättighetsbaserad ansats utgör grunden för insatsen. Insatsen uppgår till ett belopp om 49 300 000 SEK för perioden mars 2017 - december 2019. Sida ombeds finansiera hela insatsen.

Programmet och beredningen genomgick en granskning av ambassadens kvalitetssäkringskommitté den 13 februari 2017. Kommentarer och rekommendationer från denna granskning har tagits om hand i beredningen. The overall goal of the programme is to contribute to "Better living condition of community [ies] as they increase access to, control over, and sustainable and equitable use of natural resources by poor and marginalised people, including greater resilience to climate change".  Three outcomes have been identified to contribute to the goal:  - Increased application of more sustainable fisheries, forestry, and land management practices, and greater resilience to climate change by poor and vulnerable target communities;  - Increased participation and influence in decision-making processes in order to increase access and control concerning natural resources and climate change by communities in collaboration with duty-bearers;  - Enhanced use of Information/Communication Technology for Development and Communication for Development (ICT4D) measures by partner organisations for increasing equitable and sustainable access to and control over natural resources, and greater resilience to climate change.
