Desertification and land degradation are major environmental issues faced by The Gambia. This is highly pronounced in the regions north of the Gambia River. Dryland forests in the country play a pivotal role in halting desertification. Though the forest sector in the Gambia is reported to contribute to about only 1.2% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), from a socio-economic perspective, it holds great significance to rural livelihoods. Dryland forest ecosystems provide supporting services (e.g. soil formation and conservation), regulating services (e.g. water and climate regulation), and provisioning services (e.g. food, fuelwood, medicines). The regulating and supporting services are significant in a larger context, agricultural and livestock production account for nearly 30% of GDP and employ more than 70% of the labour force. Strong and healthy ecosystem services are important for continued progress in sustainable agricultural and livestock production in the country. The underlying driver for degradation of dryland forests is the increasing population pressure and the resulting direct causes are; i) unsustainable and uncontrolled resource extraction and ii) Forest fires, caused by underlying drivers like increasing population pressure and lack of adequate socioeconomic/livelihood opportunities. There have been several initiatives/programmes implemented in the country to address the continued degradation of forests, in spite of these efforts, there are certain barriers that prevent addressing the issue effectively. These barriers are; i) inadequate framework and guidance for effective dryland forest management, ii) Limited institutional capacities and inadequate technical assistance to local communities and iii) Limited market-oriented development of small scale forest enterprises. The project will address these barriers through the below components, with the specific objective to reduce forest degradation in the northern part of the Gambia; 1. Strengthening policy and institutional capacity for sustainable dryland forest management 2. Community-based sustainable dryland forest management and rehabilitation 3. Project monitoring and evaluation and information dissemination Expected outcomes include the following: - Institutions at national and regional level have the capacity to integrate dryland forest management into policies, sectoral planning, and practices (Under Land Degradation (LD 2) Tracking Tool Forestry Policy score moved from 4 to 5) - Community forestry legal ownership strengthened [Institutional bottlenecks removed resulting in improved Joint Forest Park Management (JFPM) (18 agreements) and efficient and effective transfer of forest ownership to communities (at least 28 gazettes] - About 15,000 ha of dryland forests are sustainably managed by local communities (Successful application of 18 JFPM plans and 73 management plans) The project will be implemented in the areas north of the Gambia River, namely, North Bank Region, Central River Region (North), Upper River Region (North) and Lower River Region. A total of 82 communities will benefit from the intervention. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Acronyms 5 SECTION 1 – PROJECT RATIONALE 7 1.1 PROJECT CONTEXT .................................................................................................................................. 7 1.2 THE CURRENT SITUATION .................................................................................................................... 18 1.3 THE GEF ALTERNATIVE ......................................................................................................................... 23 1.4 LESSONS LEARNED ................................................................................................................................ 36 1.5 STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT ....................................................................................................................... 36 SECTION 2 – FEASIBILITY 39 2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION ............................................................................................. 39 2.2 RISK MANAGEMENT ............................................................................................................................. 39 SECTION 3 – IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS 40 3.1 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS ........................................................................................................ 40 3.2 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS ................................................................................................... 40 3.3 PLANNING AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ........................................................................................ 45 3.4 PROCUREMENT .................................................................................................................................... 50 3.5 MONITORING AND REPORTING ........................................................................................................... 51 3.6 EVALUATION PROVISIONS .................................................................................................................... 57 3.7 COMUNICATION AND VISIBILITY .......................................................................................................... 57 SECTION 4 – SUSTAINABILITY OF RESULTS 59 4.1 SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY ....................................................................................................................... 59 4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY ...................................................................................................... 59 4.3 FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY ...................................................................................... 59 4.4 SUSTAINABILITY OF CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT .................................................................................... 60 4.5 APPROPRIATENESS OF TECHNOLOGIES INTRODUCED and COST/EFFICIENCY .................................... 60 4.6 REPLICATION, SCALE-UP and INNOVATIVENESS .................................................................................. 61 APPENDICES................................................................................................................................................ 63 APPENDIX 1: RESULTS FRAMEWORK.......................................................................................................... 64 APPENDIX 2: WORK PLAN........................................................................................................................... 60 APPENDIX 3: PROJECT BUDGET .................................................................................................................. 65 APPENDIX 4: RISK MATRIX .........................................................................................................................

Lebbie Judith Carney I. Introduction The African commons are valuable though often ecologically threatened sources of food and fiber products for urban and rural populations. Particularly around resources of great use Iand exchange value, rural communities in many parts of West Africa create rules and conventions to define rights of access and conditions of sustainable use. Recent case studies highlight the considerable rule-making capacity of West African rural institutions despite the erosion of rural authority required to enforce sanctions (Berry,, 1988; IFAD, 1992; Shepard, 1991; Thomson, 1992). Many of these local-level tenure regimes create community protected areas - common property regimes that regulate access to forest commons, sacred groves, fishing ponds, and grazing areas (Price, 1991; Fischer, 1994; Djibo et al., 1991).

    Chapter 5. Literacy and Education

    Chapter 5. Literacy and Education CHAPTER 5: LITERACY AND EDUCATION This chapter presents information on the spatial distribution of literacy and education among the various demographic groups. During the census, all persons aged 7 years and over were asked about their ability to read and write Arabic, Roman letters or both. Individuals are determined literate if they are able to read and or write either or both scripts. Also individuals three years and over were asked about their education and if they are currently attending, pre-school, lower basic/primary, upper basic and senior secondary school, vocational and other tertiary schools. The data suggests a considerable regional and demographic variation in both literacy and educational attainment. Overall, literacy rates are highest among urban dwellers than rural dwellers. In all regions, literacy is higher among males than females. Additionally, more males than females are enrolled in secondary schools and post-secondary schools. Notes: Care must be taken in interpreting the data as regional and gender disparity in both literacy and education may be skewed by the high rate of migration among people with education in search of job in urban areas. Since more males than females stay longer at school and are more likely to migrate to the urban centers, the regional and gender difference are even more apparent. 48 CHAPTER 5: LITERACY AND EDUCATION Literacy (%) and type of Literacy among the population 7 years 70 Script in 2003 and over in 2003 60 Roman Arabic In 2003, 52 percent of the population 7 years and over are 50 literate in Arabic or Roman letters or both.
