This project aims to support the operationalization of the axes of the Forest Strategy 2030 to prevent overexploitation and lack of valuation of the forest sector in Morocco. The project’s contribution to the implementation of the 2030 Forest Strategy will take the form of technical support, expertise and support on the ground, in order to help achieve the expected results. The activities of this project include: 1) differentiating and developing national parks and productive forests to maximise their efficiency in terms of valorisation, environmental preservation and conservation; 2) reinvent and restructure the participatory approach around local issues and based on incentives aimed at making the population the primary forest partner; 3) reform the institutions around agencies based on a legal framework adapted to the success of the implementation of dynamic management of spaces, open to partnerships and oriented towards performance.

The ‘Strengthening school canteens in Burkina Faso’ project seeks to improve children’s nutrition, particularly for girls in schools in the north of the country. The project would provide breakfast and lunch to children in 450 schools per year, with half of them targeting schools with displaced children. To increase local production capacities and individual skills, the project will provide financial and technical support to local producers, with a focus on women. Training provided will include climate-smart agricultural methods such as those that promote better usage of water and forest resources. In some communities, the project would use an innovative approach by providing meals based from the supported producers. Finally, the project would provide equipment and training to school employees to improve the performance and sustainability of school canteens. The project would reach 114,600 direct beneficiaries, (47,500 girls and 47,500 boys) as well as 19,600 local producers, community members and school workers, of which 10,192 are women.

This project seeks to advance gender equality in Colombia by improving the recognition, redistribution and reduction of unpaid care work disproportionally shouldered by women, which has been exacerbated during the pandemic. The project will: i) strengthen Colombian government capacities to design and implement a comprehensive set of policies, programmes and services to guarantee the rights of those providing and requiring care, with an institutional framework to respond, and the capacity to produce and use data related to the care economy; ii) support Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Women Rights Organizations (WROs) in advocating for a participatory, inclusive and accountable national and local care systems and participate in their design and implementation; iii) assist local governments in designing and implementing care solutions (e.g. care services for children, people with disabilities and elderly; introducing time saving technologies) specific to their local context; iv) scale-up local initiatives in partnership with the private sector, WROs and governments. The project would be funded by a combination of the Branch's reference levels ($3 million) and the Department's Strategic Priority Funds ($3 million) associated with the Prime Minister’s commitment on unpaid and paid care work.

The IW-AR project will be centred around the development of a circumpolar northern Indigenous-based learning program. The project will use a web-based collection of learning resources and case studies to help reframe the current approach to Indigenous and Northern and Arctic youth engagement to include the voice of Indigenous peoples, in particular, youth, in Arctic discourse.
To do so, the IW-AR project will develop a set of learning resources and workshops targeted towards policy makers and educators to better understand how to engage Arctic and Northern youth. The project will be presented in different content formats, such as case studies and multimedia stories. It will also be complemented by a range of practical and reflective workshops for a more comprehensive and innate understanding of the concepts presented and how they can be better applied.
For Northern Peoples to be drawn to and see themselves in the work, the project will develop a website dedicated to IW-AR that will include learning resources and opportunities available to the Northern and Arctic audience. The project will also support Northern Peoples’ representation at local and global conferences where discussions on how making visible and acknowledging colonial structures are important to systems change, advancing reconciliation and improving relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
