Habitat Stewardship Contribution Program

Habitat Stewardship Contribution Program

Canada's support to LIFT aims to reduce poverty among vulnerable populations in northern Rakhine State by: increasing economic and livelihood opportunities, improving nutrition outcomes, and increasing the resiliency and empowerment of women across Rakhine, including Rohingya Muslims and other ethnic minorities. The project achieves these outcomes by funding local NGO initiatives via the UNOPS-managed Livelihoods Food and Security Trust (LIFT). The project also enhances and improves intercommunal social cohesion within these communities by incorporating peacebuilding into all financed projects.

Project activities include: (1) working closely with men, women and their children to increase household income and assets through financial literacy programs that target village savings and loans associations (VSLAs); (2) supporting technical vocational and life-skills training for those displaced in the protracted crisis in Rakhine; and (3) targeting women with awareness raising activities around nutritious feeding practices during pregnancy and after childbirth to improve nutritional status of Rakhine family units.

This project aims to strengthen the maize value chain in Haiti’s Sud and Artibonite departments. Its goal is to improve the livelihoods of 10,000 smallholder farm families through expanded commercialization and sustainable production of maize, along with bean, an essential companion crop. An emphasis is on creating opportunities for women and youth to contribute to - and benefit from - activities that promote added value and climate change adaptation in the targeted value chains. Project activities include: (1) increasing targeted maize producers’ access to reliable, competitive, and durable markets for their product through the establishment of local purchasing centers with direct linkages to a large-scale industrial buyer ; (2) improving agricultural productivity, yields, and post-harvest quality of maize and bean through promoting sustainable climate smart techniques and technologies; and (3) enhancing rural farm families’ resiliency to recurrent natural disaster through disaster risk reduction awareness-raising.

P006688001: The project seeks to find evidence based solutions to problems of political, economic and social exclusion, to understand their links to conflict, and unblock political obstacles that are implementing these solutions. This project also aims to help institutions and countries meet the vision of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by working closely with countries emerging from conflict and/or facing conflict risk, by seeking new government commitments.
This project has two phases, the first phase consists of the following activities:
(1) framework of policy solutions: developing a challenge paper that outlines priority areas of policy and programming engagement to address inequality and exclusion, based on the results of country-specific research and analysis developed under other project activities;
(2) hosting a political-level retreat to discuss and consult on the challenge paper and plan for high-level events and an engagement strategy under phase II; and
(3) policy brief and event on gender equality: completing a policy brief showing the evidence that investing in gender equality contributes to reducing overall inequality. This brief is the basis for a side-event at an upcoming meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women.
