About this project
Description
The objective of the Project is to strengthen the capacities of local communities in the ecoregions of Chaco, Chiquitanía and Pantanal, to improve their livelihoods by conserving natural habitats, restoring degraded ecosystems and reinforcing sustainable production for their socio-ecological resilience. This will be achieved through six results: 1.1.- Strengthened local governance in the 5 National Parks and Natural Areas of Integrated Management (PN ANMI) prioritized; 1.2.- Restored ecosystem functions and improvements in biodiversity conservation through innovation, replication and staging of interventions at the community level in the 5 PN and IMNA of Chaco, Chiquitanía and Pantanal; 1.3.- Improvement of the sustainability and productivity of agroecosystems from community interventions in 5 PN and ANMI provided by the GEF 6; 1.4.- Improvement of alternative livelihoods in the prioritized landscapes in PN ANMI through the development of innovative products and access to markets; 1.5.- Practices to improve energy efficiency and removable energy, to improve livelihoods in the 5 PN / ANMI; and 2.1.- Community and civil society organizations improve their organizational skills and technical knowledge based on training and knowledge management.During the 4 years of execution, the Project will support about 73 community initiatives, for the strengthening of communities and organizations, through the execution of technical, scientific, training and knowledge management projects in selected communities in 3 ecoregions, including 5 PN and ANMI: Kaa Iya, El Palmar, Serranía del Iñao, San Matias and Otuquis. These initiatives will improve measures for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, both in areas of influence and within each Protected Area. The beneficiary communities will be selected with the support of the National Steering Committee (CDN). The Project will be implemented by UNDP and executed by UNOPS, under the existing mechanism of the GEF Small Grants Programme including the approval of each initiative by the CDN and the PPD country team, as well as the due monitoring which will be provided, under the leadership of the National Program Coordinator.
Objectives
Strengthening the capacities of local communities in the Chaco, Chiquitanía, and Pantanal ecoregions to improve their livelihoods by conserving natural habitats, restoring degraded ecosystems, and strengthening sustainable production for socio-ecological resilience.
