Innovative Grants Mechanism for ISLM 3rd call for proposals UNDP

2.  (Namibia Organic Association) Establishment of Organic standards, Organic quality assurance and an Organic trading mark for Namibia (Ongwediva College of Education) Aquaculture (Omba Art Trust) Community Centred Craft Development and Marketing Programme (Africa 2000 Trust) The community-Based Rangeland and Livestock Management Project

3. Proposals for Consideration cont� (Ndeya business trading enterprise business) Peanut butter manufacturing (Okongo Forestry Committee) Fighting poverty with Guinea fowl farming (Agra) Determining the grass-based carrying capacity of Namibia rangelands with satellite-derived technology

5. a) Relevance/Contribution to ISLM: promotes the healthy use of soil, water and air enhances the biological diversity within the whole ecosystem increases soil biological activity and maintains long-term soil fertility recycles wastes of plant and animal origin in order to return nutrients to the land, thus minimizing the use of non-renewable resources mitigates climate change and helps farmers adapt to climate change Recycles wastes of plants and animal origin (return nutrients)

22. Ongwediva College of Education: Aquaculture Unit Goal: to enhance capacity of student teachers through practical demonstration in aquaculture on the campus site. Therefore be the center of excellence in promoting the technology to the wider public in the long run. Location: Ongwediva College of Education: Oshana Region

23. a) Link to ISLM (impact on Land): Aquaculture is a unique land use with minimal land degradation impact while being a potential answer to food security and income generation. b) Impact to livelihood: Potential to contribute to poverty alleviation, community development, reduction of exploitation of natural resource, immediate source of essential nutrients as much as a source of income. c) Beneficiaries: Immediate beneficiaries are the student teachers, the learners to be taught afterwards, the general public surrounding the area, and all in the Aquaculture trade. d) Technical sense & Know-How: Sound e) Sustainability: Highly sustainable as it is to be managed by the College. f) Replicability: High

26. Goal: is to �significantly contribute towards the livelihoods of residents in Ovitoto�. The short term goal is to �support livestock farmers to manage their livestock herds and rangeland resources in such a way as to reduce their vulnerability to climatic variation and improve their income from livestock sales�. The objective is to develop a local level monitoring booklet, a rangeland management map, and lessons learned. Hence ultimately, capacity of the local farmers are build while more benefits are foreseen as a consequence of effective rangeland management Location: Ovitoto, Otjozondjupa region (Africa 2000 Trust) The community-Based Rangeland and Livestock Management Project

31. (AGRA�s Professional Services) Determining the grass-based carrying capacity of Namibian rangelands by satellite-derived technology Goal: The overall goal of the project is to enable Namibians to determine the grass-based carrying capacity of their ranch or grazing area from satellite-derived data and to develop the technology to exploit other applications that are not yet operational or even conceived Hence the Objective is to separate woody from herbaceous plant production using a variety of approaches which will enable Namibians to determine the grass-based carrying capacity of their ranch or grazing area from satellite-derived data and to develop the technology to exploit other applications that are not yet operational or even conceived� Location: Windhoek (data will represent the whole country)

32. Rationale Link to ISLM (impact on Land): It guides producers and land users towards sustainable stocking of animals, enabling them to adjust the number of their animals in time in response to deteriorating or improving conditions, thus minimizing damage to the natural resource, the veld, and improving the sustainability of rangeland management. Impact on Livelihoods: Improved Rangeland productivity translate to more �harvestable� from rangeland-based production (e.g. livestock, game and their products). It enables drought-stricken land users in communal, open access areas to identify geographic areas with high production to which they can move their animals, thus improving rural livelihoods and reducing poverty Beneficiaries: agricultural producers and rangeland users in the whole country Technical sense and Know-How: working and reliable method based on a widely-acknowledged and well-researched technology but with its own body of public, scientific evidence that can be scrutinised at will. Proposed project team has a wealth of experience and knowledge in the subject mater. Sustainability: an expert centre in satellite-derived rangeland management information would be set up for continuity Replicability: The method can be applied country wide and thus benefits are to be enjoyed country wide.
