  1. INTEGRATED FINANCING STRATEGY (IFS)SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT

  2. Methodology Preparation to costing to each activity, define: • Sub-activities • Compatibility with Seychelles’ Sustainable Development Strategy • Compatibility with the Medium-Term National Development Strategy • Stakeholders– Central and local government, NGOs and private sector • Compatibility with International and Regional Conventions and Agreements • Compatibility with National Policies and Strategies • Current Funding Source: National Funding (of specific activity) and donor-funded projects (general SLM) • Funding Constraints • Funding Gaps • Possible Funders • Reference Literature Costing exercise - Estimated Costs (see Excel Spreadsheet)

  3. General Observations The following issues appear under different Goals, and activities: • Valuation studies and awareness training (2.1.2, 2.1.9, 2.5.3, 3.1.1, 4.2.1, 4.3.2) • Support to Micro, SME development with sector focus on agriculture, tourism (3.1.4, 4.1.2) These issues could be addressed using a holistic approach; simultaneously mainstream into every project and/or For example: • SMEs related activities could be addressed holistically in line with the related activities (see spreadsheets) and in coordination: MoA, SAA, Senpa, STB, MoIndustry etc. • Existing valuation studies could be packaged with CSR, carbon foot printing, certification and ISO standards

  4. Goal 1 Land Use Planning and Land Use Management are Supportive of Sustainable Land Management Funding gaps: • Valuation and awareness (linked to 2.1.2, 2.1.9, 2.5.3, 3.1.1, 4.2.1, 4.3.2) • A major funding gap 1.3.3: “Acquire Sensitive Land for Reserve” Current funders: • UNDP GEF: SLM project, IOC, EU and others • Activity 1.4 Minimized Risk from Land Slides has support from several projects: • WB Support to Risk Management • ADF/COI: Risques et Catastrophes • ISLANDS

  5. Goal 1 Land Use Planning and Land Use Management are Supportive of Sustainable Land Management Possible funders: • State Budget • EU General Budget Support through State Budget • COMESA CAADP investment plan • COI: ISLANDS • COI: EDF RIF project and others Activity 1.3.3: “Acquire Sensitive Land for Reserve” will require lead from Ministry of Finance, seek GBS from the international community and/or any other special funds

  6. Goal 2: Forested Land and Watersheds are Sustainably Managed Major funding gaps: • Valuation studies and awareness training – as above • SME development The following studies are identified as helpful to determine future costs: • Prepare forested land management strategy for public and private land • Review the approach to fire breaks, patrols and towers, and, if necessary strengthen or adapt the measures • Install a system of water storage for fire fighting – a feasibility study is required Current funders: • GEF, IOC, EU and others • Activity 2.6 “climate change adaptation measures are adequate to protect forested land” are already funded by • UNDP GEF Adaptation to climate change • EU General Budget Support

  7. Goal 2: Forested Land and Watersheds are Sustainably Managed Possible funders: • State Budget • EU General Budget Support through State Budget • COMESA CAADP investment plan • COI: ISLANDS • COI: EDF RIF project and others Support to SME is provided by both bilateral and multilateral funders. This generally is sourced through a dialogue between the recipient country’s funds mobilizers - Ministries of Foreign Affairs, embassies, Ministry of Finance - and the donors’ agencies

  8. Goal 3: Agricultural Land and Water is Sustainably managed and Contributing to Food Security in the Seychelles Mayor funding gaps: • Valuation studies and awareness training • SME development Main considerations on these matters already expressed above Current funders: • State budget • FAO TCP • AfDB • IAEA • COMESA – CAADP

  9. Goal 3: Agricultural Land and Water is Sustainably managed and Contributing to Food Security in the Seychelles Possible funders: • State Budget • EU General Budget Support through State Budget • FAO • IAEA • COMESA CAADP investment plan • COI: ISLANDS • COI: EDF RIF project • and others Note: A relevant proposal has been submitted for funding by MoA • Enhancing data collection for Registered Commercial Farmers • Develop a Comprehensive Food Security Policy and Strategy that will feed into the regional Food Security Strategy • Feasibility Study of the Agro processing potencial of the Seychelles involving Crops, livestock and fisheries • Review of Seychelles extension Services • Develop a Master Plan to identify Water needs of Crops and livestock farmers

  10. Goal 4 Physical Infrastructure Developments and Coastal Zone Developments are Supportive SLM Funding gaps: • SME development (already covered above) • Wetland and coastal Zone management: • Emergency fund • Maintenance for infrastructure Current funders: • Tourism and MME: none • Wetland and coastal zone management • JICA: Coastal Erosion and Flood Control Management • UNEP/UNDP/Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs: CCDARE – Climate Change Adapting by Reducing Vulnerability - training workshop on shoreline Management (with emphasis on climate change in Seychelles; government and NGOs • IOC: ReCoMAP: • Anse Boileau Timber Pilling (coastal protection) • Anse Royale Pilot Project to Control and Manage Human and Vehicular Trampling on dune land • Hand book on Coastal and Wetlands Management for learner (schools)

  11. Goal 4. Physical Infrastructure Developments and Coastal Zone Developments are supportive of sustainable land management Possible funders: • State Budget • EU General Budget Support through State Budget • COMESA CAADP investment plan • COI: ISLANDS • COI: EDF RIF project and others Most funding gaps are large and requires funding mobilizers to address this issue within existing planning frameworks Note: Best practice on CSR – collaboration Climate and Environmental Services and private sector extensive collaboration with the hotel sector and Districts • Banyan Tree Domain de l’Orangerie (La Digue) • Epheilia resort La Reserve (Praslin) • Allamanda Hotel (Mahe) Lamuria Resort • Cousine Island on carbon footprint Le Meridien Barbarons (Mahe)
