GEF

A GEF-financed regional IPF that strengthens preparedness of governments and the private sector in Georgia, Moldova, Türkiye, and Ukraine to reduce pollution in the Black Sea. The project delivers national policy/legal assessments and harmonization recommendations; prepares investment recommendations and pre-feasibility analyses for high-impact depollution projects; runs eco-innovation challenges and grants to pilot private-sector solutions; and supports regional knowledge sharing and dialogue. 

The objectives of the Resilient Landscapes Project for Armenia are (i) to increase the area under sustainable landscape management in selected locations and (ii) to promote sustainable economic activities to communities in targeted landscapes in Armenia. There are four components to the project, the first component being Institutional Capacity and Policy Development. The project supports integrated landscape management such as restoration of degraded wetland and rebuilding of fragmented forests.

The objective of the project is to strengthen integrated landscape management in targeted watersheds in the Dominican Republic. The project will incentivize farmers to adopt agroforestry systems; restore and protect riverbanks, wetlands, and riparian forests; restore degraded and fragmented forest ecosystems; and diversify environmentally sustainable livelihoods.

The development objective of the Hwange-Sanyati Biological Corridor (HSBC) Project for Zimbabwe was to develop land use and resource management capacity of managers and communities in the HSBC. The project comprises of four components. The first component, protected area (PA) management and community livelihoods aimed to improve management of Hwange national park and the livelihood of communities involved in stewardship of the natural resources in its buffer zone.

The Sustainable Forest and Landscape Management Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina aims to build capacity among forestry sector stakeholders and demonstrate sustainable forest and land management approaches. Activities include reforestation of fire-affected sites, participatory landscape management, and capacity building to enhance sustainability and resilience of vulnerable forest, scrub, and pasture landscapes.

The proposed Project Development Objective (PDO) is to promote integrated landscape management and
restoration in targeted areas of El Salvador. The project will help promote improved integrated landscape management through agroforestry activities and mangrove restoration.

To promote integrated environmental management of selected coastal watersheds as a means to conserve biodiversity, contribute to climate change mitigation, and enhance sustainable land use. Financed subprojects included restoration of coral reef, watershed management, soil conservation, restoration of forests, and agroforestry.

The Project Development Objective is to design and support the uptake of innovative models for valuing mangrove, seagrass and coralreef ecosystem services with the potential to enhance the sustainability of marine-based enterprise and marine spatial planning in select coastal communities in Indonesia and the Philippines. The project  developed a myriad of tools to help capture the benefits of mangroves, seagrass, and coral reefs , and ensured these would be adopted broadly through workshops and dissemination. 

The Project Development Objective is to improve protected areas management, and to promote ecotourism
opportunities and non-timber forest product value chains in the Cardamom Mountains-Tonle Sap landscape. The project aims to sustain and increase forest cover which will reduce soil erosion, maintain or improve water quality for downstream users, provide protection to farms and villages located in floodprone areas, reduce GHG emissions, and protect critical natural habitats. 

The objectives of the Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Project are to expand the area under legal protection and improve management of Protected Areas, and increase the area under restoration and sustainable management in the Brazilian Amazon. There are four components to the project, the first component being amazon protected areas system. This component aims to expand and consolidate an over-60-million-ha PA system in the Brazilian Amazon and advance ongoing efforts to secure its long-term financial sustainability by capitalizing the ARPA Transition Fund.
