Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC) Programme Extension - Programme Management The Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC) programme is the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FCDO) flagship global forestry initiative, with the broad aim of bringing about governance and market reforms that reduce the illegal use of forest resources and benefit poor people who depend on forests for their livelihoods. As part of global efforts to improve forest management and tackle deforestation, FGMC supports international policy processes which tackle illegal logging in timber-producing developing countries and the trade in illegally produced timber products.
FGMC’s original business case, which ran from 2011 to 2020 with a total budget of £250 million funded from the UK’s International Climate Fund (ICF), has been granted an extension running from April 2021 to March 2023 In summary, the programme is:
1. Supporting national platforms in producer countries to reform and strengthen forest sector governance, including securing rights, regulation and enforcement of national rules-based systems, improving transparency and accountability in the management of forests and land use (supply measures);
2. Promoting responsible business practices and demand for legal timber and other commodities such as palm oil in consumer markets (demand measures); and
3. Helping to shift global business norms to halt illegal timber imports by providing evidence and tools to support the legal timber trade; and
4. Applying lessons from the timber trade to inform policy on commodities such as rubber and palm oil that put forests at risk, supporting efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade and informing international processes seeking to promote restoration of degraded lands and limit deforestation.

Improving Market Access for the Poor (IMA4P) Support skills-building for 22,300 poor and marginalized people in Nigeria, Cambodia, Tanzania and Malawi and enable equal participation in value chains. Project objectives: 1. Support poor and marginalised people to access greater economic and social benefits through removing barriers to participation in selected value chains eg: equipping them in business skills, identifying opportunities for access to finance, support access to distribution channels, influencing government policy 2. Strengthen the capacity of VSO, our partners and local institutions to deliver EBD programmes at scale in selected value chains The programme is split into three components: Market development, skills development and programme management. This approach enables VSO to build on existing and develop new corporate partnerships, including with Accenture, and secure funding from organisations that have strategic interests in selected value chains or the wider agenda of private sector development Over 5 years VSO will equip over 22,000 poor and marginalised people in Nigeria, Cambodia, Tanzania and Malawi with skills to enhance their economic status, including: agricultural techniques; business development; marketing strategy development; finance management; data and business analysis. Outcomes include increased income and economic security, resulting from enterprise, employment and participation in productive value chains. “Improving Market Access for the Poor” (IMA4P) builds on VSO’s experience, including Global Giving-enabled Making Markets Work for the Poor (MMW4P), VSO’s growing corporate partnerships portfolio2 and recent Enterprise Based Development (EBD) research (resourced by Barclays and Accenture). IMA4P identifies high impact value chains and applies skill-building and other interventions to improve the economic status of poor and marginalised people. Beneficiaries include smallholder and farmer collectives, as in MMW4P, but the scope is now widened to include working with aggregators, traders, domestic and regional markets

Knowledge Exchange VSO Knowledge Exchange (previously ‘Corporate Volunteering Hub’) is a market-making mechanism for business skills offered on a volunteering basis to development programmes by companies. It matches demand from development programmes with corporate employee volunteers through a range of placement opportunities. It also provides a forum for collaboration and learning to maximise the impact of corporate employee volunteering. Benefits will be generated for development partners (e.g. in terms of improved programmes), corporate members (e.g. knowledge of emerging markets) and individual volunteers (e.g. challenging personal development opportunities). • Establishing an ‘Industry Standard’ for impactful Corporate Employee Volunteering through: - Shared evidence base - Benchmarks • Range of models tried and tested (remote, group relay, mixed groups) with learning shared • Established Community of Practice(s) amongst volunteers, Corporates and Development Partners with regular virtual events and ‘open platform’ to encourage broader membership • Programmatic focus for learning, leading enterprise, employment and tech4devt good practice • Collaborative spin outs (e.g. Syngenta social franchise) • Volunteer management, engagement and impact monitoring through mobile app (India, a technology grant from NASSCOM Foundation)
Active Citizenship Through Inclusive Volunteering & Empowerment (ACTIVE) The long-term impact of the ACTIVE grant is to contribute to more inclusive, open, resilient and gender equitable societies. The focus of ACTIVE is to increase local accountability, inclusion and reduce poverty by identifying and empowering the most vulnerable and marginlised people (especially women and girls, the young and people with disabilities) to lead and shape their own development. It will support vulnerable and marginlised people to take-action on issues important to them. The programme will strengthen civil society and build a culture of volunteerism and civic engagement, whilst also building the capacity of governments and service providers to respond to the demands of marginalised citizens. By enabling people, and in turn, their organisations, and communities, to play a more active role in development, ACTIVE volunteering will continue to provide the means to achieve more sustainable change. Programme interventions will be implemented across 18 countries and focus on two mutually reinforcing pre-conditions for change:

• Empower and build the agency and voice of the marginalised local people (especially women and girls, the young and people with disabilities) and civil society to come together, form networks, voice their concerns, engage others including policy makers and service providers, and influence in addressing the barriers they face.

• Build the capacity of service providers, civil society, local authorities, national governments, and private sector to deliver better services, in a way that is inclusive and accountable, to the marginalised and vulnerable people.

The Active programme will provide leadership and influence to ensure that governments, private sector and civil society organisations can use volunteering policies and practices to support marginalised people to own development processes in their countries and communities through advocacy, sensitization, and uptake of the Global Standard in volunteering for development. It is also expected that the programme will strengthen evidence and knowledge base on the impact of the VfD methodology in building local people and their collectives’ agency and participation as well as in promoting accountable service delivery. The programme therefore has four main inter-related outcomes:

· Improved active citizenship by marginalized and vulnerable people and local volunteers

· Improved access and delivery of quality better services in health, education and livelihoods for marginalized and vulnerable local people

· Increased uptake and application of Global Standard for Volunteering

· Improved evidence of and understanding on the effectiveness of the volunteering for development approach in citizens' empowerment and system's accountability. Beneficiaries included vulnerable and marginlised people (especially women and girls, the young and people with disabilities), Civil society

Bank Asia Limited-SP022 (Growing Together ) The project addresses the window 2 challenge by establishing a smart agent banking channel for rural Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs),using technology coupled with a robust business support system that builds capacity of the participating enterprises to ensure their maximum economic success. One of the fundamental challenges for small holder farmers in Bangladesh is access to business finance. For too long the development sector has assumed that access to micro-finance benefits farmers. Often NGO led micro-finance offers more choice and reduced interest rates against the appalling interest rates charged through money lenders in the black market, a source of debt financing farmers have historically resorted to in the absence of retail opportunity and asset collateral. Traditional micro finance does not however move farmers and micro entrepreneurs away from cycles of short term debt and into cycles of long-term investment. lt doesn't sustainably change their finances to manage cropping seasons. Retail finance needs to be structured in line with the needs of the rural poor and not hidden behind assumptions and excuses for high transaction costs driving high interest rates and weekly repayments. Few banks have seized the opportunity to restructure delivery channels or adapt products. Bank Asia is amongst those few, piloting agent banking, which is taking true retail finance deep into rural Bangladesh. However access to retail finance alone is not the answer to thriving rural , ,. : -.. ... economies and MSE's. . !dqd$qe,. Business finance is one key catalyst but equally so is the transformation of farming itself which makes micro-holder farming commercially viable and helps to develop inclusive and collaborative value chains. lt fundamentally recognises that investment in farmers and farming communities is central to the sustainability of those value chains themselves. ln isolation, financing cannot help enterprises rise out of the cycle of debt. This is where VSO and Syngenta together have co-created the Growing Together project which Bank Asia has joined as a new partner. The cross-sector partnership strengthens communities to learn, grow and selltogether.
