The overall project objective is to build the capacity of farming and forestry stakeholders to mitigate climate change and improve land condition by adopting climate smart agriculture (CSA) and sustainable forest management (SFM) policies and practices: Component 1 Institutional, policy and regulatory frameworks strengthened to support SLM, CSA and SFM Sub-component 1. A. Comprehensive program to enable regulatory / institutional framework assessment, strengthening and capacity building Sub-component 1. B. Program for improved land us management and planning to inform institutional and regulatory improvements Component 2 Models for CSA practices demonstrated and enhancing carbon storage in three priority agro-ecosystems Sub-component 2. A. Program for CSA support services Sub-component 2. B. Program for farmer CSA capacity building Component 3 Models for SFM practices demonstrated and enhancing carbon storage in three priority agro-ecosystems Sub-component 3. A. Program for improved forest planning Sub-component 3. B. Program for community-based forest conservation Component 4 SLM, SFM and CSA knowledge management, training and practices scaling up nationally Sub-component 4. A. Support program for up-scaling SFM practices Sub-component 4. B. Support program for up-scaling CSA practices
This project supports national efforts in dismantling the existing barriers that prevent broadly applying and upscaling best practices for Sustainable Forest Management (SFM), Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and Sustainable Land Management (SLM). The project will support the Government of Myanmar in its continued efforts to improve legislation and policies and strengthen CSA, SFM and SLM through building the national capacity at all levels including communities in order to promote a more sustainable and integrated management of forests and agricultural lands of Myanmar. |
