UNEPImplementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
UNU-EHS, Governments of Tajikistan and KyrgyzstanSummary:
To address the interlinked problems of poverty and land degradation in these mountains, the project aims to improve the social and economic well-being of the rural communities and households utilizing the region’s resources to meet their livelihood needs, while preserving its unique landscape and globally important biodiversity.
Project Components:
- Transboundary Cooperation: Interdisciplinary teams consisting of experts from both countries are working on (i) a trans-boundary sustainable land management strategy and action plan prepared for the entire High Pamir and Pamir-Alai Mountains region, as well as on (ii) an improved enabling legal and regulatory framework in place for the sustainable and equitable management, and utilisation, of the ecosystem resources of the High Pamir and Pamir-Alai mountain region.
- Capacity -Building: The project provides grants for public and private sector agencies to pursue research, advisory and planning support services for sustainable land management activities for mountain communities, farmers and herders as well as forest and wildlife resource users within the High Pamir and Pamir-AlaiMountains. In addition, a wide variety of training activities such as awareness raising on land degradation, land use planning, technologies for improved soil fertility etc. are offered to local farmers, government planners, policy makers and other officials with responsibility for economic development, environmental preservation and land use.
- Participatory Field Level Interventions: On selected sub-district units – six in Tajikistan, four in Kyrgyzstan- , activities focusing on the development of innovative approaches to sustainable land management, involving community-based land use planning will be implemented. Field level activities will be directed at assessing the degradation status of the ecosystem resources of individual sub-district units, and then assisting each one to plan and implement a series of sustainable land management micro-projects with the potential to not only combat land degradation but also raise rural household incomes and alleviate poverty.

The Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries’ (MAAIF)Summary:
A CC DARE scoping mission was undertaken from April 21st – 25th 2008. A two day stakeholder consultation was held with a broad representation of climate adaptation actors.
Following the scoping mission, a total of seven proposals were received from a range of governmental and non-governmental organisations.
Project Components:
The purpose of the Technical Assistance is to support MAAIF to mainstream Climate Change Adaptation Issues into write up for the NDP and the DSIP.
Expected Outputs:
Two outcomes are expected:
i) Climate change issues are integrated into national and sectoral frameworks. The outputs that will contribute to this outcome include provision of Technical Assistance and training for members of the Thematic Working Groups (TWGs), who are responsible for formulating these plans as well as other sector stakeholders including local governments and other central government ministries.
ii) Enhanced knowledge and skills on climate change amongst key stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The outputs contributing to this outcome include trained staff and the development and dissemination of mainstreaming guidelines.

Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
National Agricultural Research LaboratoriesSummary:
A CC DARE scoping mission was undertaken from April 21st – 25th 2008. A two day stakeholder consultation was held with a broad representation of climate adaptation actors. Following the scoping mission, a total of seven proposals were received from a range of governmental and non-governmental organisations. Proposals were based on issues including afforestation schemes to reduce land degradation; research into crop diversification; educational programmes for schools; and an investigation into the merits and drawbacks of payments for environmental services (PES).
Project Components:
The principal outcome of the project will be sustainable livelihoods and food security through increased nutrient- and water-use efficiency for increased crop productivity. The implementation of adapted technologies and best practices for mitigating agricultural drought and the resulting improved land use and management practices will contribute to short and long term, local and national development goals in terms of sustainable land resources use thereby enhancing sustainable livelihoods and food security through productive and diverse agricultural systems.
Expected Outputs:
The project seeks to achieve two integrated outputs, which together form the nucleus of interventions to achieve the outcome of the project. The emphasis is an integrated effort to achieve increased crop productivity through increased nutrient- and water-use efficiency. The outputs are as follows: Output 1. State-of-the-art scientific knowledge characterizing agro-meteorological climate risks and uncertainties regarding crop production in the country generated Indicator: Report regarding the trends analysis of climatic variables [rainfall, temperature, etc. by end of month 1 of the project Output 2. The current status, socio-economic factors, constraints and opportunities for promoting adapted land use and management technologies vis-à-vis traditional knowledge and practices for agricultural drought mitigation in the selected AEZ identified. Indicator: Survey report by end of month 1 of the project
