If you have submitted this project/programme previously please indicate the GCF code here. Contents Section A PROJECT / PROGRAMME SUMMARY This section highlights some of the project’s or programme’s information for ease of access and concise explanation of the funding proposal. Section B PROJECT / PROGRAMME DETAILS This section focuses on describing the context of the project/programme, providing details of the project/programme including components, outputs and activities, and implementation arrangements. Section C FINANCING INFORMATION This section explains the financial instrument(s) and amount of funding requested from the GCF as well as co-financing leveraged for the project/programme. It also includes justification for requesting GCF funding and exit strategy. Section D LOGIC FRAMEWORK, AND MONITORING, REPORTING AND EVALUATION This section includes the logic framework for the project/programme in accordance with the GCF Results Management Framework and Performance Measurement Framework, and gives an overview of the monitoring, reporting and evaluation arrangements for the proposed project/programme. Section E EXPECTED PERFORMANCE AGAINST INVESTMENT CRITERIA This section provides an overview of the expected alignment of the projects/programme with the GCF investment criteria: impact potential, paradigm shift, sustainable development, needs of recipients, country ownership, and efficiency and effectiveness. Section F ANNEXES This section provides a list of mandatory documents that should be submitted with the funding proposal as well as optional documents and references as deemed necessary to supplement the information provided in the funding proposal. Note to accredited entities on the use of the SAP funding proposal template The Simplified Approval Process Pilot Scheme (SAP) supports projects and programmes with a GCF contribution of up to USD 10 million with minimal to no environmental and social risks. Projects and programmes are eligible for SAP if they are ready for scaling up and have the potential for transformation, promoting a paradigm shift to low-emission and climate-resilient development. This template is for the SAP funding proposals and is different from the funding proposal template under the standard project and programme cycle. Distinctive features of the SAP funding proposal template are: - Simpler documents: key documents have been simplified, and presented in a single, up-front list; - Fewer pages: A shorter form with significantly fewer pages. The total length of funding proposals should not exceed 20 pages, annexes can be used to provide details as necessary; - Easier form-filling: fewer questions and clearer guidance allows more concise and succinct responses for each sub-section, avoiding duplication of information. Accredited entities can either directly incorporate information into this proposal, or provide summary information in the proposal with cross-reference to other funding proposal documents such as project appraisal document, pre-feasibility studies, term sheet, legal due diligence report, etc. Submitted SAP Pilot Scheme funding proposals will be disclosed simultaneously with submission to the Board, subject to the redaction of any information which may not be disclosed pursuant to the GCF Information Disclosure Policy.

Scalability and potential for transformation (Eligibility for SAP, max. 100 words) 1 This fields will be automatically calculated in the OSS system 2 Senior loans and subordinated loans This project’s activities will build on the results and lessons of the REDD+ pilot project in La Mé (budget of € 2.5 m from AFD), which supported the activities of the La Mé Cooperative of Organic Cocoa Producers (Coopérative des Producteurs de Cocoa Biologique de la Mé) from 2017 to 2019. This pilot project developed effective and sustainable models for organic, fair trade cocoa production based on a zero deforestation production approach, which benefits small producer members of the cooperative. The proposed Green Climate Fund (GCF) project will generate a paradigm shift through the scaling up of these innovative agroforestry models, zero deforestation agriculture and organic cocoa production. The project is aimed at reducing GHG emissions while also providing adaptation co-benefits. The adoption of these low-carbon emission agricultural practices by communities will lead to increased value added per hectare, increased diversification of livelihoods and independence from public funds, particularly by better connecting smallholder farmers to financial institutions. Low-carbon emission agricultural practices will be implemented on 3,650 ha of land. 7,550 individuals (30% of whom are female), and three cooperatives (one per region), stand to benefit directly; 600,000 smallholder farmers stand to benefit indirectly. Furthermore, support to the operationalization of the REDD+ mechanism in the target area will also enable subsequent replication of activities and good practices in other regions to achieve national coverage as recommended by the REDD+ National Strategy, validated in November 2017 (REDD+ NS) and the National Investment Framework (NIF). A.12. Project/Programme rationale, objectives and approach (max. 300 words) Côte d'Ivoire currently has one of the world’s fastest rates of deforestation and forest degradation, with only 2.77 million hectares of remaining forest and almost no pristine forest outside the national parks. According to the Forest Reference Emission Level for Côte d’Ivoire (FREL), national forest cover was at 7.8 million hectares in 1990, 5.09 million in 2000 and 3.4 million in 2015.3 Current estimates indicate that 250,000 hectares of forest were lost every year between 1990

  • Urban-Bias and the Roots of Political Instability
    Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instablity: The case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa By Beth Sharon Rabinowitz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Professor Michael Watts Professor Robert Price Professor Catherine Boone Fall 2013 COPYRIGHT Abstract Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instablity: The case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa By Beth Sharon Rabinowitz Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instability: the case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa seeks to unravel a conundrum in African politics. Since the 1980s, we have witnessed two contradictory trends: on the one hand, coups, which have become rare events world-wide, have continued to proliferate in the region; concurrently, several African countries – such as Ghana, Uganda, Burkina Faso and Benin – have managed to escape from seemingly insurmountable coup-traps. What explains this divergence? To address these contradictory trends, I focus initially on Ghana and Cote d‟Ivoire, neighboring states, with comparable populations, topographies, and economies that have experienced contrasting trajectories. While Ghana suffered five consecutive coups from the 1966 to 1981, Cote d‟Ivoire was an oasis of stability and prosperity. However, by the end of the 20th century, Ghana had emerged as one of the few stable two-party democracies on the continent, as Cote d‟Ivoire slid into civil war.
