Project description summary Project Objective Project Objective: Through the implementation of an agroecological transition approach, promote innovations in governance, production and finance in order to reduce the vulnerability of the small-holder agro-sylvo-pastoral food systems and livelihoods, reversing land degradation and halting the loss of globally significant biodiversity in fragile landscapes of the Kayes region Indicators: (i) Characterisation of Agroecological Transition (CAET) score. Target: Average CAET score of a least 70% in the target circles (areas with a CAET score of 70% and above are deemed to be advanced in the agroecological transition , ) (ii) Area of production land under improved and climate-resilient management. Target: 160,000 ha under SLM , including: - 10,000 ha under climate-resilient management with efficient water management techniques implemented (e.g. zai) - 30,000 ha showing increased land productivity - 25,000 ha directly benefiting biodiversity (iii) Number of direct beneficiaries disaggregated by gender. Target: 200,000 (50% women) (iv) Household Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) disaggregated by commune and type of household (e.g. men-led vs. woman-led household for example). Target: At least 20% increase in average household DDS score in the target circles Project Financ Expected Expected Outputs Tru GEF Confirme Compone ing Outcomes st Project d Co- nt Type Fu Financin
