AFROMAISON Africa at meso-scale: adaptive and integrative tools and strategies for natural resources management UNGIWG-11 Geneva - March 14, 2011 Gregory Giuliani, Yaniss Guigoz, Nicolas Ray, Anthony Lehmann (UNEP/GRID-Geneva & University of Geneva) Together with Jan Cools & the AfroMaison consortium (ANTEA Group, Belgium)

GRID-Geneva: Who are we? UNEP DEWADEPIDRCDGEFDCPIDTIE DEWA GRID-Europe (Geneva) Swiss Env. Agency University of Geneva

GRID-Geneva: What we do? Field data collection Image analysisStatistical analysis Spatial analysis (GIS) Maps & Info PREVIEW Data (SDI) Environment impacts assessments, risk modelling, change detection Role of ecosystems & climate change.

AFROMAISON - Practical Runtime: 1 March, 2011 – 28 Feb, partners of which 6 EU, 6 African and 3 international 5 case studies: South Africa, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tunisia and Mali Budget: 4.1 mio Euro (of which 3.4 mio Euro from European Commission) Funded by EU 7th Framework program Coordinated by Antea group (Belgium)

AFROMAISON – Acronym » MAISON » Landscape = ‘house’ (in French, say: MESO) » A house where : People live under one roof & have different interests & different roles / tasks » MESO-scale » Bring INRM into practice at sub-national level » Work across scales » Tools & strategies as ‘building blocks’ » Processes for societal change “AFROMAISON: Managing a landscape like a household”

Today Tomorrow CONCEPT Improved integration Toolbox & strategies for INRM Making use of what is available ‘House’ of AFROMAISON Many tools and expertise available, BUT scattered and often not operational

Project sites Selection criteria: Range of eco-regions Multi-functional landscape High vulnerability Competition for NR Strong local partner, having established networks with stakeholders and authorities Area: 5,000 km² - 50,000 km²

AFROMAISON – Expected impacts » Identify operational requirements for INRM » At meso-scale (landscape) » In a changing environment » Operational tools & strategies for adaptation » Impact pathway for uptake of tools and strategies in operational management » Evaluation of impact and sustainability of tools & strategies » Capacity & ownership building » Better exchange of information » Spatial Data Infrastructure for Africa » Multi-level participatory platform for supporting change

AFROMAISON – Tools & Strategies » Strategies for restoration and adaptation, incl. » For management of land, water and wood » Sustainable landscape functioning » Ecosystem services & livelihood » Economic tools and incentives, incl. » Payments for ecosystem services » Generation of alternative income sources and employment » Tools for spatial planning, incl. » Negotiation support tools (trade-off, impact assessment) » Strategic Environmental Assessment » Mapping of landscape functioning & vulnerability

WP7 Operational Framework & Toolbox for adaptive INRM Lead: CIRAD, Raphaele Ducrot WP3 Tools for restoration & adaptation Lead: IWMI; Deborah Bossio WP5 Tools for spatial planning Lead: UNESCO-IHE; Hendrike Helbron WP2 Multi-disciplinary rapid assessment & barriers for effective INRM Lead: ICRAF; Delia Catacutan Decentralisation & governance WP6 Global change, vulnerability & scenario design Lead: PIK; Fred Hattermann WP1 Project Management Lead: ANTEA Group; Jan Cools WP8 Dissemination, capacity building & end-user involvement Lead: UNIGE/GRID; Gregory Giulani WP4 Economic tools & incentives Lead: INR; Chris Dickens Norms & traditions Local expertise & practices Capacity Ownership & acceptance Access to land, water & wood Crosscutting processes Lead: Soresma Gender WP’s

AFROMAISON – SDI » Bringing OGC web services into practice » Raising awareness on open standards » Building capacities for sharing data » Strengthening of ownership » End-user information & scientific dissemination » Building a community » Improving information, data & services exchange in Africa » Contributing to international efforts (GEOSS, UNSDI, …) » Building synergies » With other projects & international platforms (EuroGEOSS, AEGOS, SERVIR-Africa, UNEP-Live, …)

EU Africa water cluster » A joint front for EU Africa water research » Policy relevant research » Aim for better exchange between science & policy » Can offer results, spatial data & tools » Flexible workplan to accommodate policy needs » AIM: UPTAKE OF RESULTS IN ACTUAL MANAGEMENT » Practical » Funds from EU 7FP & LIFE » Currently 6 projects, but open for others » Budget = about 20 million Euro » Covering water research for
