Estudio de un proyecto piloto en cuatro municipios rurales Resumen: este texto aborda un proyecto piloto de transferencias monetarias condicionadas en cuatro municipios rurales de Angola (“Trabalhos Publicos”) y tiene como finalidad el análisis de diferentes ejemplos de este tipo de transferencias al tiempo que realiza un examen de varios sistemas de pago existentes y la justificación de la elección final de este último. A través de una metodología cualitativa, con técnicas como el análisis documental, las entrevistas en profundidad semiestructuradas, los grupos focales y la observación participante, se llega a la conclusión de que existen dos métodos de pago apropiados: por una parte, los denominados “correspondientes bancarios”, y por otra, los “bancos móviles”, ambos considerados los más adecuados y eficaces para las zonas rurales y de más difícil acceso.

Land degradation, especially in the highlands, has been identified as the most serious environmental problem in Ethiopia. The Hararghae highlands in Eastern Ethiopia, Tigrai, Wollo, and Semen Shoa highlands in the north and the Gamo-Gofa highlands and the Bilate River basin, which starts in eastern slopes of Gurage highlands and stretches through eastern Hadiya and Kembatta highlands are some of the seriously eroded/degraded land surfaces in Ethiopia. The dominant man induced causes of land degradation in Ethiopia are poor farming practices, population pressure, overgrazing, over cultivation, soil erosion, deforestation, salinity and alkalinity problems, and the use of livestock manure and crop residue for fuel as energy resource of the rural households. The recorded annual soil erosion (surface soil movement) in Ethiopia ranges from low of 16 tons/ha/yr to high of 300 tons/ha/yr depending mainly on the slope, land cover, and rainfall intensities. The total estimated annual soil loss (surface soil movement) from the cultivated, range and pasture lands (780,000 km 2) in Ethiopia is estimated to range from low of 1.3 to an average of 7.8 billion metric tons per year.

    Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais de Angola Inventário Florestal Nacional Guia de campo para recolha de dados . NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão.

  • Sustainable Land Management and Its Relationship to Global
    Sustainable Land Management for Environmental Benefits and Food Security A synthesis report for the GEF Beverley Henry, Brian Murphy and Annette Cowie July 2018 Preface This paper brings together the latest knowledge about sustainable land management and its potential to deliver global environmental benefits and improved livelihoods. It will strengthen the scientific and technical understanding of sustainable land management and its contributions to environmental objectives, both global and local. The GEF’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) commissioned the study to support targeted efforts in the management of land degradation and to raise awareness of this vital issue, as the GEF considers its focus for the next phase (GEF7: 2018-2022).

Both coal mining and agricultural production are important for regional development in this area. In general, the land reclamation direction in this area is greatly affected by the adequacy of filling materials and the land use demand of regional economic development. Taking seven coal mining subsided areas in Pei county, located in the eastern China plain, for example, this study proposed an integrated model (including the Limit Condition model, Logistic Regression model, Grey Linear Programming model and the conversion of land use and its effects at small regional extent (CLUE-S) model) to simulate and optimize the post-mining land use structure to meet the economic development needs of Pei county.
