DETAILED PROJECT / PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 22 OF 101 C C.8. Timetable of Project/Programme Implementation The feasibility study in the annex presents the project implementation programme in detail. The following is a summarized version that includes all project activities spread over the five-year life cycle of the project.
RATIONALE FOR GCF INVOLVEMENT GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 23 OF 101 D D.1. Value Added for GCF Involvement PROFONANPE argues that incremental GCF cost support is fundamental for reducing deforestation and enhancing the climate resilience of the population in the area of intervention, benefiting 120 communities with 20,413 inhabitants. GCF resources will address core, underlying causes of deforestation through a strategy that also strengthens communities’ resilience to more frequent floods and droughts. Without GCF funds, no resources will be available for the implementation of the proposed activities. This would have potentially negative consequences for the carbon stored in Datem del Marañón’s peatlands, as described by the baseline scenario. The following considerations support this statement: • The forested area, including aguajales, swamps and associated ecosystems, is threatened by climate change and other forces external to the occupants of the territory. • At this time 43 per cent of the land in PDM remains untitled. Consequently, many communities perceive that their land rights are insecure and might be contested by unknown third parties. Moreover, the titling process is cumbersome, protracted and expensive. The communities consider it to be beyond their control. • Without strong property rights, the communities find it difficult to assert dominion over their territories and face climate-change impacts and anthropogenic threats, as identified in section C.1. Communities fear deforestation, forest degradation, and land-grabbing by external actors, as witnessed in other areas of Peru. We argue that entrusting the communities with the responsibility of managing, monitoring and providing surveillance in their respective territories provides the sense of ownership required to foster long-term considerations of natural resources management. • The GOP faces resource constraints and gives priority to areas other than those that are very remote and difficult to reach, with very low populations. PDM ranks 193 on the list of priority out of 194 provinces in the country. The planning mandates of the GOP in the project area will have a protracted implementation, rely mostly on consultants’ input, and provide a technically sound basis for enacting POTs and natural resources management guidelines. The suggested approach will support a more community-based approach, and conclude with a common, shared agreement on how land and resources should be managed in the province. PROFONANPE advocates the latter approach. Furthermore, the project will engage local and regional governments to increase their public budget through <strong>proposals</strong> under the National System of Public Investment (SNIP) for providing long term sustainability of the implementation of the POTs and will continue strengthening capacities in the public sector. D.2. Exit Strategy The project results are sustainable beyond the project life cycle, and the approach is likely to expand so as to cover other provinces and regions in Peru’s Amazon Basin, provided that funding from international donors can be secured, with increased funding from the central government. The following arguments support this statement: • The project will provide the province and its population with a formal (i.e. legally enacted), enforceable landuse plan, developed with and owned by the participants. 8 According to recent regulations, provinces with 8 Under the Policy Guidelines for Land Use approved by Ministerial Resolution No. 026-2010-MINAM, land-use planning is a political and technical administrative process for concerted decision-making with the participation of social, economic, political and technical stakeholders, for the orderly occupation and sustainable use of the territory; and for the regulation and promotion of the location and sustainable development of human settlements, of economic and social activities as well as of spatial physical development, based on the identification of potentials and limitations, considering environmental, economic, cultural, institutional and geopolitical criteria.
