Piloting Cash Transfers for Human Development through Local Government The purpose of this social protection pilot is to identify ways to improve the ability of both urban and rural local government bodies to effectively implement social safety net programs.  Accordingly the pilot aims to test the modalities of cash transfers to the poorest of poor families delivered through Pourashavas (semi-urban local government bodies) and Union Parishads (rural local government bodies), and subsequently demonstrate the value of administering these programs at the local level in terms of better targeting and less leakage of resources. In addition, innovative features that would be part of this pilot such as using proxy means testing for selection of beneficiaries and information technology for the management of benefit delivery make this approach particularly attractive and important for the future design of the country's social protection programs. Specifically, the pilot is expected to help draw lessons on how to strengthen the role of Pourashavas/UPs in establishing administrative systems to (i) select and target the poorest families based on proxy means tests; (ii) make cash payments through the local banking sector; (iii) forge links with schools to monitor school attendance and nutritional status of children of beneficiaries; and (iv) timely monitor cash payments so that benefits are delivered in an effective and transparent way.
ZM-Nature Tourism Study This proposal seeks to undertake analytical work to estimate the potential contribution of nature-based tourism to economic growth and poverty reduction in Zambia.  The Government has registered tourism as the third pillar for economic development (the other two being agriculture and mining).  However, the potential contribution of nature-based tourism to the economy and to poverty alleviation is yet unclear.  Further, little is known about barriers to achieving government targets and optimum management options for improving the sector's achievements.  Thus the Development Objective of the proposed project seeks the following outcome: More accurate information on nature-based tourism-lead economic growth and poverty potential leads Zambian decision-makers to initiate scaling up the investment in nature-based tourism as well as optimize management systems.  This project contributes to a larger set of studies embraced by a group of donors and partners under the umbrella of the Natural Resource Consultative Forum (NRCF).  The audience for this work is the Government, the NRCF, the PRSP Committee, Private Sector Associations, NGOs and donors.

Frankincense: a root to climate smart resilience for vulnerable communities in West Gondar Zone in Ethiopia The project will enhance the management of existing tree stocks, increase the populations of B.papyrifera within the Metema area and enhance the value realised from the stock as a viable climate smart income generator for 2,852 smallholder farmers. The project aims to strengthen the governance and regulatory frameworks of local authorities and 6 PFM cooperatives to support management and protection of Boswellia forest (output 1). The project will work closely with the PFM cooperatives to strengthen their governance, organisational capacity and service delivery. PFM and development plans will be drawn up to help guide the PFMgroups to address the ongoing degradation and deforestation. The existing forest task force will be strengthened and judiciary, police, local administration and PFM cooperative representatives will be added. They will also be trained to ensure enforcement of the forest law. Regular meetings between different stakeholders will also be organised in order to discuss forest governance. The project will also protect and rehabilitate the Boswellia forest through the promotion of sustainable regeneration, enrichment planting and adaptation practices (output 2). To complement the management plans, PFM members and local communities will be given the requisite skills and tools to best manage and protect the Boswellia forests. Further training will be given to improve grazing practices, agricultural practices and bushfire management, in order to reduce human pressures on the forest. Woodlots will also be established by the PFM cooperatives and fuel saving stoves produced by women and distributed to further reduce these pressures and creating sustainable source of income. The PFM groups will also support the regeneration of the B.papyrifera stocks through the identification and demarcation of high regeneration zones and enrichment planting in the forest. These practices will be supported by a study by the University of Gondar to ensure their sustainability. Finally, the capacity of primary actors in the frankincense value chain will be strengthened in post-harvest handling, quality control and market linkages (output 3). The tappers aggregate their products at the PFM cooperative level who then sell them through the union. In order to realise a greater value of the frankincense available, 3 existing and 3 new PFM cooperatives, as well as a union, will follow a business development programme including the mobilisation of financial resources, technical financial acumen, and linkages with buyers. The cooperative union will also be supported to increase the value and the quality of the frankincense products through an equipped warehouse that allows grading. The tappers will be trained to improve their tapping practices to increase the quality of their product while conserving the trees. Two women groups will be created and trained to ensure the grading providing a new source of income for women.
Empowering women in rural Mali through improved forest access and enterprises 1,000 women in the Koulikoro region of Mali have improved economic and social status through greater forest access rights, management responsibility and participation in Non-Timber Forest Products enterprises Contribute to the reduction of poverty and gender inequality  in the Koulikoro region in south west Mali Women and their households rely on forests for income, food and biofuel, yet management remains with men. This disconnect between users and management results in a lack of an effective, sustainable and productive approach in the use of forest areas.
