The IAP‐FS programme seeks to tackle the major drivers of environmental degradation by advancing a holistic and integrated approach (inter alia pro‐poor and inclusive) to enhance agricultural productivity in smallholder systems where food insecurity is directly linked to agriculture. This approach will ensure that gender and nutrition are mainstreamed throughout the project as critical issues to address the food security challenge. The Burundi IAP‐FS project will address these challenges and drivers through the following components, with the specific objective to “increase adoption of resilient, improved production systems for sustainable food security and nutrition through integrated landscape management and sustainable food value chains”: 1. Strengthened institutional framework and support mechanisms; 2. Improved livelihoods and food security though integrated natural resources/watershed management; 3. Monitoring and assessment of global environmental benefits and socio‐economic impacts. The three expected Outcomes are: 1.1Multi‐stakeholder and multi‐scale platforms in support of policy and institutional reform and knowledge sharing mechanism for scaling out of SLM practices and integrated natural resources / landscape management in place; 2.1 Increased land area and agro‐ecosystems under integrated natural resources / landscape management and SLM best practices and improved market access and value chains leading to enhanced and sustained production and livelihoods; 3.1 M&A framework in place and relevant institutions capacitated, carrying‐out monitoring activities and communicating experiences and results. The project will be implemented on‐the‐ground in eight selected micro‐catchments of Gitega, Mwaro and Muramvya Provinces in the highland agroecosystem east of the Congo: Nile watershed divide with a gender sensitive focus. The project will also catalyse transformational change across a wider area of the country through provision of training and knowledge management products for the partner (co‐financing) projects. At national level, it will support an incremental increase in capacity to realize and monitor the win‐win‐win benefits of integrated natural resource management / sustainable land management (INRM / SLM, note: throughout this document, the term SLM is used most frequently, but is considered equivalent to INRM.). The IAP‐FS is timely as it contributes to the objectives of the Government in improving the livelihoods of people through creating favourable conditions for ensuring food security. 2 Acronyms and Abbreviations Acronym Explanation ACB African Centre for Biodiversity ACCES Climate Change Adaptation for Soil and Water Resources Conservation Project (financed by the Special Fund for Energy and Climate) ACORD Agence de coopération et de recherche pour le développement ADD Duhaguruke Dukore Association ADISCO Appui au développement intégral et à la solidarité des collines ADLP Programme d’appui à la Décentralisation et à la Lutte contre la pauvreté AfDB African Development Bank AGRA Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa ASAP Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme AVEDEC Association Villageoise d’entraide et de Développement Communautaire BD biodiversity (GEF focal area) BH budget holder BV Bassin versant (French; in English = watershed) CA conservation agriculture CAADP Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme CAPAD Confédération des Associations des Producteurs pour l’Auto‐Développement CBD Convention on Biological Diversity CC climate change CCA climate change adaptation CCDC Communal Community Development Committees CDC Cell Development Committees CDF Centre de Développement Familial CCM climate change mitigation CNA capacity needs assessment CNCA National Aid Coordination Committee CNE Commission nationale de l’environnement CNF National Land Commission (Commission National Foncier) CNTA Centre National de Technologie Alimentaire CPPA Cadre de Planification en Faveur des Populations Autochtones CSA climate smart agriculture CSO civil society organisation CSIF country strategic investment framework (for SLM) CSLPII Strategic Framework for the Fight against Poverty II CTB Coopération Technique Belge DATAR Diversity Assessment Tool for Agrobiodiversity and Resilience DG Digital Green DPAE Directions Provinciales de l’Agriculture et de l’élevage DfID Department for International Development (UK) FAO Food and Agriculture Organisation FFS farmer field school FGD focus group discussions FIES food insecurity experience scale (used in HH‐BAT) FISP farm input subsidy programme GEB global environmental benefit GEF Global Environment Facility GHI Global Hunger Index GIS geographic information systems 3 GoB Government of Burundi GSADR Agriculture and Rural Development Sector Group (Groupe Sectoriel Agriculture et Développement Rural) GSEAE Sectoral Group on Water, Sanitation and the Environment HDDS household dietary diversity score (used in HH‐BAT) HEA household economy analysis HH Household HH‐BAT household baseline assessment tool HRBA human rights based approaches IAP‐FS integrated approaches pilot on Food security IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development IGA income generating activity IGEBU Institut Géographique du Burundi ILO International Labour Organization INDC Intended Nationally Determined Contributions ICNEN National Institute for Nature Conservation INRM integrated natural resources management IP Implementing Partner IPC Integrated Food Security Phase Classification IRAZ Institut de Recherche Agronomique et Zootechnique ISABU Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Burundi ISFM integrated soil fertility management IW international waters (GEF focal area) LADA Land Degradation Assessment (in Drylands) (methods and tools) LCA Green Belt Action LD land degradation LUS Land Use Systems MEA Millennium Ecosystem Assessment MINAGRIE Ministere de l’Agriculture et de l’Elevage (Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock) MEEATU Ministere de l’Eau, de l’Environnement, de l’Aménagement du Territoire et de l’Urbanisme (Ministry of Water, the Environment, Land Management and Urbanisation) [former MINATTE) MSNDPHG Ministère de la Solidarité Nationale, des Droits de l’Homme et du Genre (Ministry of National Solidarity, Human and Gender Rights) MoI Ministere de l’Interieur et de la Formation Patriotique (Ministry of the Interior and Patriotic Education) MTE Mid‐Term Evaluation NAIP National Agricultural Investment Plan NAPA National Adaptation Plan of Action to Climate Change NAP/LCDT National Action Programme to Combat Desertification (Lutte contre la degradation des terres) NBA Burundian Association of Environmental Protection NCCCA National Communication on Climate Change and Adaptation NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development NGO non‐governmental organisation

    FARMERS in the Driver's Seat

    FARMERS IN THE FARMERS FARMERS IN THE Properly functioning farmer organizations are essential to enable smallholder agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa to become more productive and profitable. Farmer organizations allow for collective action by smallholders, creating economies of scale, reducing transaction costs and thereby improving access to driver’s seaT markets. In order to sustain income generation through marketing of agricultural products, farmers and their organizations need to maintain their competitiveness and hence reinforce their capacity to innovate. driver’s seaT Innovation in smallholder agriculture in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda The Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA), through its Knowledge Management and Up-Scaling (KMUS) programme, initiated the ‘farmer empowerment for innovation in smallholder agriculture’ (FEISA) project (2010-2013). The project aimed to empower smallholder farmers in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda to improve their productivity in selected value chains. The project put farmers in the driver’s seat by providing farmer organizations with tools and skills to enhance collaboration with private enterprises, as well as service providers, in multi-stakeholder ‘inno- vation triangles’ within value chains for the benefit of smallholder farmers. Built around case studies from the four countries, this book presents the innova- tion triangle approach, as well as a self-assessment tool for service provision by apex farmer organizations to their members. Both the innovation processes followed, and the results obtained, provide valuable insights on the facilitation of multi-stakeholder platforms for farmer-led innovation in value chains. These insights particularly focus on the role of, and services provided by, apex and grassroots farmer organizations for enhanced market access.

Kuzen. (Dahurian larch) is an important arctic tree-line species in the northern boreal forests of Eurasia. The region’s climate is predicted to change dramatically over the next century, yet little is known about how this species will respond to secular changes in temperature and precipitation. To this end, a ring-width chronology from 25 cores from a stand of seven Dahurian larch trees growing in the Secrest Arboretum, northeastern Ohio, was developed to test the climatic sensitivity of the species in a more temperate climate. The chronology extends from 1931 to 2005 and correlation analysis with monthly precipitation and temperature records shows growth was most strongly limited by summer precipitation until recent decades when sensitivity has shifted to late spring precipitation.

    Lake Profile Brief This is based on the results of Multiple Lake Threat Assessment and its Scenario Analysis. Refer to the Technical Report for details. Lake Rweru/Moereo Geographic Information Lake Rweru is located in central Africa, close to the northernmost point of Burundi, with its northern shore forming part of the Burundi‐Rwanda border. The lake is surrounded by marshes and papyrus, and contains floating islands. It is considered by many to be the most distant starting point of the Nile River, in that the Kagera River, which rises at the northern part of the lake, is considered to be the starting point of the Nile. The lake hosts limited fishing activities, and is being increasingly invaded by water hyacinth. Lake Rweru could be a subject for GEF‐catalyzed management interventions, along with Lakes Cohoha and Ihema, with all three lakes located in the same general proximity in the upper catchment wetland region of the riparian countries, and sharing similar economic (fishery management) and environmental (progressing eutrophicatio) challenges. Effectively considering these lakes for such management interventions may require a new strategic approach that considers them as a lake cluster comprising both transboundary and national (non‐transboundary) lake basins.

KIPPRA’s mission is to produce consistently high-quality analysis of key issues of public policy and to contribute to the achievement of national long-term development objectives by positively infuencing the decision-making process. These goals are met through efective dissemination of recommendations resulting from analysis and by training policy analysts in the public sector. KIPPRA therefore produces a body of well-researched and documented information on public policy, and in the process assists in formulating long-term strategic perspectives. KIPPRA serves as a centralized source from which the Government and the private sector may obtain information and advice on public policy issues. UNECA in Brief Established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations (UN) in 1958 as one of the UN’s fve regional commissions, ECA’s mandate is to promote the economic and social development of its member States, foster intra-regional integration, and promote international cooperation for Africa’s development. Made up of 54 member States, and playing a dual role as a regional arm of the UN and as a key component of the African institutional landscape, ECA is well positioned to make unique contributions to address the Continent’s development challenges.
