This has led to a weakening of state institutions and a growing estrangement between citizens and their state, hence a failing social contract, at all levels of governance. This can be witnessed in the low participation of the citizenry in political processes. The recurrent structural fragility of the economy has left the population with few meaningful opportunities, especially in rural areas. The population continues to be poor and confined to subsistence activities and informal trade. This situation is a source of discontent amongst the population, a serious threat to the livelihood of households, especially in terms of food and social security, and particularly to women and youth, posing extra strain to an already precarious condition. To build the interest of the population in the affairs of the state, a first step is to restore its confidence through investments in local governance for local economic development. The strategy and assumption is that, once the population sees the dividends of service delivery and economic development, it will engage more enthusiastically with the governance system and a social contract can be formed. This joint UNDP-UNCDF programme aims to create the conditions for decentralization in Guinea Bissau building on lessons learned from the PADDL project.

  • International Union for Conservation of Nature
    International Union for Conservation of Nature Country: Guinea Bissau PROJECT DOCUMENT Protection and Restoration of Mangroves and productive Landscape to strengthen food security and mitigate climate change BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT Mangrove ecosystems cover a major part of the Bissau-Guinean coastal zone and the services they provide to the local population are extremely valuable. However, these ecosystems are at risk and face several challenges. In the past, many mangrove areas were turned into rice fields by the local population. During the independence war of Guinea Bissau (1963-1974), many of these mangrove rice fields were abandoned but they were never restored, leading to both mangrove natural habitat and land degradation, and their respective impacts in terms of loss of biodiversity, decrease in natural productivity and local food insecurity. In response to the above challenges, the objective of the proposed project is to “support the restoration and rehabilitation of degraded mangroves ecosystems functionality and services for enhanced food security and climate change mitigation”. The overall strategy is built around policy influence and knowledge sharing which will lead to replication and scaling up of the approaches and results. It is structured into four components. The first component will support knowledge-based policy development and adoption that promotes mangrove and forests restoration. The second component of the project, promoting a participatory land use planning and management approach at the landscape level, focuses on the restoration and rehabilitation of degraded land in mangrove areas. The third component will contribute to improving the institutional and financial context of mangroves and forests restoration in Guinea Bissau.

  • Impact Survey: Guinea Bissau
    Impact survey: Guinea Bissau A selective nationwide survey of communities affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war Survey team: Dionco Sousa Cardoso (Team Leader) Mamadu Lamine Cante (Team Leader) Eufemia Barros Agosto Aurelia Gomes Lamine Gomes Clemente Mendes Support staff: Ricardo Nhaga Nicolau Nharo Balde Jose Pedro Gomes Amido Jalo Technical Advisor: Hagos Kiflemariam, Landmine Action Report by: Melissa Fuerth, Operations Officer, Landmine Action Penelope Caswell, GIS Officer, Landmine Action Editor: Rob Deere, Operations Director, Landmine Action Commissioning Editor: Sebastian Taylor, Director, Landmine Action Special thanks to: John Blacken, Director General, HUMAID Financial support from: U.S. State Department’s Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement United Kingdom’s Department for International Development 1 Executive summary Background Guinea Bissau is a former Portuguese colony, situated on the west coast of Africa. It has been affected by three periods of conflict, including the Liberation War (1963–1974), the Civil War (1998-1999) and the Casamance Conflict (March 2006) in the north which remains unresolved. These periods of fighting have left the largely rural and agricultural country of Guinea Bissau affected by mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW). ERW and mine contamination is contextualised by relatively very high rates of absolute poverty, rural marginalisation, low rates of rural and urban health and education services, and employment, and stalled or reversed socio-economic development. Weapons contamination and persistent, encompassing poverty are, themselves, contextualised by structural insecurity – frequently associated with criminality and armed violence – resulting from continuously contested government and weak and failing systems of governance. Project With funding from the United Nations Development Programme, Landmine Action conducted the country‟s first selective nationwide Impact Survey of 264 communities from October 2007 to May 20081.
