EU Green Policy Dialogue Facility Contract related to: EU Green Policy Dialogue Facility - The action, the EU ¿Green Policy Dialogue Facility¿ will support Sri Lanka in developing and implementing its national multi-sector policies, reforms and interventions that are aligned with EU global policy priorities and initiatives promoting the external dimensions of the EU Green Deal and the Paris Agreement such as the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Partnership, the European Sustainable Finance strategy and Green Bond initiative, the Global Alliance for Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency, and the Global Coalition for Biodiversity. The EU will aim at supporting national efforts in addressing the multi-faceted environmental challenges, in mitigating and adapting to climate change in most vulnerable areas, which has led to climate-induced migration. Within the framework of the European Investment Plan/EFSD+ (European Fund for Sustainable Development), the EU will mobilize finance (public and private) to expand the development of green infrastructures in the energy, water and waste sectors.The EU will also support the development of a circular economy, decoupling economic growth from obsolete carbon intensive polluting practices and unsustainable production and consumption behaviours, by harnessing the benefits of digital transformation, innovation and entrepreneurship. The EU will support the authorities and civil society to protect their rich land and marine biodiversity. As part of its green diplomacy, the EU will assist in this endeavour drawing upon its own experience and knowhow on green recovery and aim to ensure that the whole population, women, men, girls and boys in all their diversity, benefits from it as much as possible leaving no one behind, whilst contributing to global efforts.The focus on green policies will benefit above all SDG 17 (sustainable partnerships) as well as SDGs 7, 12, 13, 14 and 15 but also 4, 9. The Facility will support directly the preparation and then facilitate and monitor the implementation of the Green Recovery Team Europe Initiative. As part of a Team Europe approach, the Facility will most likely be complemented by additional initiatives from the following EU Members States, France, Germany and the Netherlands as well as the European Investment Bank and would participate directly in its governance structure. All EU partners might contribute jointly or in parallel through specific interventions which will be coordinated by the Facility.

Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration in Tanzaniaâ€™s Forest Landscapes To promote integrated land and water management, restoration, and sustainable rice value chains to prevent deforestation in priority landscapes in Tanzania Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The project will deliver clear socio-economic benefits on a number of fronts:1.  1. By focusing on improved rice production methods, and streamlining the rice value chain, the project will directly benefit participating farmer groups and other rice value chain actors. In this regard, earlier pilots in Tanzania have demonstrated the potential of sustainable rice intensification to generate substantial increases in yield per acre (cases of up to 10-fold have been reported), with associated economic benefits.  2. Direct benefits to local communities are also expected from the proposed restoration and management of land, forest and wetland ecosystems, by generating associated increases in productivity, and benefits from forest (both timber and non-timber forest products) and wetland (e.g. fish) products.  3. Overall the above direct project benefits will increase income and jobs. Through its specific gender focus, furthermore, the project will result in more inclusion/access by women to productive activities.  4. In the longer run, the project will increase the resilience of the ecosystem which will ensure the longer-term economic function of such systems in many different ways, both through direct services such as the productivity of lands, water provisioning, fish and forest products, as well as through indirect ecosystem services such as opportunities for tourism development related to the forest reserves, wildlife corridors and biodiversity-rich wetland systems.  5. Finally, through the project’s investments in capacity building and awareness raising, it will open up opportunities for individuals and partner organizations to develop spin-off opportunities related to ILM, sustainable agriculture, and restoration/management of land and ecosystems.

Solar photovoltaic technology transfer from China to Fiji and the wider region of Pacific Island Countries and Territories This project is funded by the UNIDO China Voluntary Fund, which aims at the promotion of south-south knowledge and technology transfer between China and developing countries.  The project#s development objective is to promote sustainable social, economic and environmental development in Fiji and the wider region of the Pacific Islands and Territories (PICTs) through increased use of solar PV technology solutions.  Specifically, the project will lead to the design of a comprehensive south-south PV technology transfer program from China to PICTs. The program will be developed in close consultation with local counterparts and in partnership with Chinese investors, financiers and technology providers. The program will also address the identified policy barriers for the introduction of PV solutions in PICTs.  To demonstrate the feasibility and viability of innovative Chinese PV technology under tropical island conditions concretely, the project includes also the installation of two (2) highly visible pilot solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Fiji (to be selected from a short-list of four identified sites ranging from 10kWp to 40kWp).
Legal Empowerment for Equitable Land Governance The insecurity of community rights to land and natural resources is perhaps the greatest rule of law challenge of our times. Around the world, farmers, fisher people, and pastoralists are denied the power to manage what are often their greatest assets: their farmland, forests, pastures, rivers, lakes, and coasts. Meanwhile, there is an ever-increasing investment interest in exactly those resources. When the rights of those who live and depend on the land are insecure, what results is conflict and inequitable, shortsighted decisions about our most precious resources.

There are three key opportunities for supporting land-based communities in the arc of interaction between those communities and industrial development: 1) securing tenure and strengthening local land governance, 2) negotiating equitable terms under which investment can take place, and 3) ensuring compliance with legal and contractual requirements once investment has begun.

With funding from DFID, we support more sustainable, more equitable development in all three of these moments by investing in the legal empowerment of land-based communities.
