| Abstract: PID 05-SEP-1997 3. Project Objectives. The project will help create the enabling conditions necessary to enhance the standard of living of Cote d'Ivoire's rural population by empowering communities, stimulating local investment and facilitating sustainable management of natural resources and rural infrastructure. Its immediate objectives are to: (a) enhance land tenure security on over 2 million hectares (ha) of rural land by introducing legislation, instruments and procedures to help communities clarify land rights; (b) increase local capacity to plan, make decisions, manage resources; and (c) support investments for sustainable natural resources management, and small-scale infrastructure development. 4. The project will include the following components: (a) Clarification of Land Tenure (US$30.8 million). The project will help create the legal instruments, the administrative procedures and technical capacity at the institutional and community levels to undertake land rights surveying and ensure that information is updated. Land tenure information and mapping will facilitate conflict resolution, help identify land management constraints and development options. Surveying will cover traditional, customary and collective land rights claims. The prime output will be the production of maps in paper and digital formats, and of land tenure documents certifying local land tenure status. Current land uses, potential alternative land uses, and demographic and land-related information will be recorded to help guide community and government decision-making about land management, access roads, transhumance corridors, forest boundaries, small irrigation works, and other physical infrastructure. (b) Enhancement of Local Management Capacity (US$6.6 million). Based upon the maps and information obtained through the Clarification of Land Tenure component, communities will be assisted to prepare their own Local Development Plans (LDP) outlining what is needed to sustainably manage agricultural, pasture, forest land and water resources, and develop and maintain village and inter-village infrastructure. Support will be provided to strengthen community capacity to identify and address problems, work collaboratively with the State and engage in the decentralization process. Specific efforts will be made to help communities design and implement activities and management solutions that will enhance the position of women. (c) Financing of Local Investments (US$26.6 million). Financing will be provided to enhance community investment capacity and implement Local Development Plans (LDP). Specifically, the project will help finance the introduction of integrated agricultural production systems, improved agricultural production, forestry and agroforestry interventions (e.g., bottomland development and erosion control) and small-scale infrastructure (i.e. access roads, social infrastructure, and solar and other power generation and transmission equipment). Project support will be demand-driven, based on a positive list and subject to the satisfaction of a set of pre-detemined criteria. Prerequisites for obtaining financing will include: (i) community financial contributions to activities and (ii) the existence of local governing bodies or organizations capable of helping manage and maintain investments. (d) Support to Decentralization, Coordination and Implementation of Environmental Mitigation Measures (US$6.8 million). The project will support and facilitate decentralization. It will provide targeted material support and training to the locally-elected governing bodies created in the process of decentralization. The project will also facilitate inter-institutional coordination and monitor implementation to ensure consistency, inter-agency cooperation and adherence to inter-sectoral policies. |
