Section II. The Project

A. Background/Rationale

Briefly describe the current and specific environmental issue in the proposed site or need for this Project.

Include relevant quantifiable and sex-disaggregated data your analysis. If information is unavailable,

propose how your organization could address this gap

In PNG, many landowning communities in remote areas have been undermined or suppressed by large scale logging, mining,

agriculture and fisheries industries that poses direct threats to biodiversity and human welfare. From our 14 years of work as an

organization we came across many local people who are unnecessarily suppressed because of large scale development initiatives

while the government does not have capacity to monitor and provide effective surveillance on the conduct of most of these

industries, thus CELCOR’s involvement will to certain degree continue to help the landowners to protect their livelihood while

protecting the biodiversity, reducing climate change and halt further deforestation.

At present we nevertheless have seen the government’s push to promote its Medium Term development growth through

development of monoculture crops in the country where oil palm remains high on the agenda. Apart from existing oil palm estates,

the government is also proposing the expansion of this crop in new areas, especially pristine forest areas. This is a huge threat to

forest and biodiversity degradation but it can be halted if legal actions, vigorous advocacy and lobbying actions taken to support

communities to reject and resist the advancement of these destructive development approaches.

Another emerging but related issue is that of Customary Land Grabbing for the “Agro-forestry” development under the Special

Agriculture Business Leases (SABL) since 2005. Many landowners have lost large sections of customary land to bogus landowner

companies and unscrupulous foreign logging companies without their knowledge and or consent.

Provide the justification and what makes this Project eligible for SGP assistance in relation to its

contribution to:

­ PNG SGP results framework and thematic priority for 2010-2014

­ PNG UN Country Programme Outcome 3 for 2008-2012

The main problem CELCOR would want to address is stopping deforestation, reducing climate change and its associated impacts,

stopping biodiversity degradation and protection of the rights and livelihoods of rural communities throughout Papua New Guinea.

The above problem cannot be fully addressed without the participation of communities who are the custodian of these lands and

resources while the women and youth are central to ensure the anticipated outcome is realized. In almost all development projects,

women and youths are left out in the discussions, planning and participation, thus its violation of their customary and human rights.

Our project will nevertheless, include or encourage equal participation as its part of our organization’s approach to engaging wider

and active participation from all members of the land and resource owning communities throughout PNG.

Present a short profile on:

­ Project site to provide information on key biophysical aspects (hectarage of proposed area, current state of

the environment, how are natural resources being utilized by the community or other entities) and the

geographic location (significant historical or the potential for eco tourism, accessibility to the nearest

provincial town). Attach a map for the project location

­ Enabling environment (mechanisms and processes) may cover local knowledge, common social norms,

values and practices such as settling disputes and coping mechanisms for social and environmental

concerns; past and most recent initiatives of development partners including that of government and

people’s organizations; existing local policies and plans that is supportive to the use and management of

natural resources and the environmental

For many years, communities have existed through their own cultural conservation knowledge in recognition and respect of their customary land rights. Communities to date continue to follow the customary norms following societal structures such as chieftaincy, Matrilineal and Patrilineal, in which in many cases these systems are used in decision making and settling of land disputes. With the existing traditional and cultural systems of social, economical and environmental management, the national government, provincial governments, and the LLGs can further blend their environmental sustainability policy as per the Vision 2050. The Vision 2050 and the Organic Law on Local and Provincial Level

Government provides for LLGs or the province to have its own environment sustainability legislations and policies. Furthermore, there are development partners like UNDP, World Bank, AusAid, NZAid and even CELCOR having organizational policies that recognize customary ways and promote the Free, Prior, Informed, Consent approach as well as ward development plans at the district level that capture conservation and sustainable development. Such policies and approaches provide the mechanism for promoting sustainable use and management of PNG’s natural resources. B. Proposed Project

Provide a brief description of your project

Describe the intended long-term impact/s that can be on benefitted by the community/participants from this

Project by linking the activities will, e.g. build and strengthen local capacities (participating institutions/

organizations and beneficiaries) for self-resilience on climate change

State the Project’s immediate objective and expected outputs including targets and indicators. Kindly

complete Table A for the Project’s Results Framework

Explain the major strategies that will be used to achieve project outputs

Discuss factors that may affect progress/achievement of the Project’s outputs and how your organization

will respond to manage any possible risks or issues

The project in which CELCOR intends to implement for the duration of three years (2014-2017) is titled

“Promoting Biodiversity Conservation and defending community rights through advocacy, lobby,

litigation and legal awareness in Papua New Guinea”.

At the end of this project CELCOR anticipates that the target communities are made aware and able to make

free prior informed decisions in defending and protecting their customary land from land and forest

degradation as well as have the capacity to mitigate the effects of climate change, within the respective

areas.

The long-term impact will be achieved through various activities, both at the local and national level. Such

activities include the facilitation of community legal education workshops as well as awareness workshops

on climate change and oil palm to respective target communities. Other activities include the provision of

legal support and participation in research and consultation workshops/meetings with respective government

departments on national policies on climate change and land issues. (refer to Table A: Project Results

Framework for details)

C. Implementation and Management Arrangement

Present the core mandate, capacity and experience of your organization to implement this project including

track record and previous funding received. Attach an organizational profile and photocopy of the

Certification of Incorporation

The Centre for Environmental Law & Community Rights (CELCOR) Inc was established in the year 2000 with

the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) and was issued a Certification of Incorporation No. 5-1069. Our

vision, mission, principle, and the key features of our standing as an organization are all stated in the

Organisational Profile attached.

Present how the organization will support the implementation of this Project which includes the name and

composition within the organization and of the project team as well as partnerships (if any) to be established

or tapped for this initiative to provide inputs or undertake specific project activity/ies

Almost all programme activities identified in this proposal will be implemented by our lawyers, Community

Legal Education Coordinator, Women in Oil Palm Coordinator and the Climate Change and Land Rights Officer

(to be recruited). These staff are experienced and they have proven capable in their line of duties with other

donor funded activities of similar nature. The names of most of these staff who will take charge of the activities

are included in the Organizational Profile that is attached herewith.

We also have our national NGO partners such as Partners with Melanesia, Bismarck Ramu Group, PNG

Ecoforestry Forum, Wide Bay Conservation Association, Wildlife Conservation Society, Research and

Conservation, Live and Learn Education, and WWF. Apart from the national and international NGO partners,

we have a wider community-based affiliation of our CBO members ranging from Collingwood Bay

Environment and Conservation Alliance, Maisin Integrated Conservation and Development, Managalas

Development Foundation, Ahora Kakandetta Community Development Association, Klampun Conservation

Association, Central Sepik Development Foundation, Turubu Ecoforestry Forum Incorporated, Ailan

Awareness, and Pere Alalau Conservation Association.

They are our strategic partners and alliances and we have been working with them over the years to address,

environmental issues. We will continue to work with them to implement specific tasks as identified in this

proposal.

Provide how this Project is linked and complements with LLG plans, policies and programs

With special reference to Millennium Development Goal No.7 (Environment Sustainability), it can be seen as a

bench mark to give direction to countries that are member of UN to ensure their national policies also captures

the important goals that are set by the UN. Thence, PNG’s Vision 2050 does capture the same to ensure that the

environment is sustainably managed.

The sustainable management cannot happen at the national level; therefore a mechanism that can enable local

action is through the District and Local Level Government system. The National Government has made a policy

change in 1995 to ensure the powers and work is decentralized where LLGs will make decision at its level to

implement many of the key policies without national government interference. They system is already

established and the LLGs under the Organic Law on Provincial and Local Level Government can development

environmental management, in particular the development of Conservation Act and our involvement or

implementation of our proposed activities are directly linked to support the work of the LLGs so they can be

able to implement sustainable resource management policies, and promote reduce climate change related

activities.

Our main programme area of intervention is on increasing legal awareness, build capacity of LLGs and

communities to develop and formulate natural resource use and management policies that can lead to

conservation of biodiversity, reduce degradation of biodiversity and the habitats, protect forest from

degradation, an promote climate resilient activities that will sustain their livelihoods. Our interventions are one

way or the other linked or complemented to LLGs plans, policies, and programmes.

State other similar interventions which has been completed or existing in the area as well as the participation

of your organization in it, if any

In terms of our involvement with LLGs and the local communities, we have had numerous working

relationships since the year 2002. At the LLG level, we work with all ward councilors of North Coast Manus,

Illeg (Madang) and Tufi (Oro), training and assisting them to develop and formulate Conservation Area Act.

The Conservation Area Act will enable them to establish conservation areas; and develop management plans

develop resources within the conservation area on a sustainable basis. The training also covered issues related to

natural resource governance, illegal logging or fishing, deep sea mining, and the threats posed on their

livelihood by climate change, and the issue of illegal land grabbing under Special Purpose Agriculture Business

Leases.

At the community level, we have membership comprised of community-based organizations that are based

throughout the coastal and marine communities of Papua New Guinea. The CBOs are our main contact point

and their programme activities were more or less similar to us; and we have been working with them to lobby

and advocate for “no expansion of palm oil plantations”, stop illegal and destructive loggings, stop illegal land

grabbing under the guise of SPABL.

In our involvement with communities, we have written to government authorizes highlighting the issues in the

logging, mining and agroforestry industries; litigate cases that needed redress; train and build capacity of local

people to be paralegals; and training them on basic laws that they can apply to protect their rights and their

natural resources.

These programme activities are ongoing and we anticipate continue with our work so many rural communities

throughout PNG are well informed and make appropriate decisions that will protect their environment and

safeguard their livelihoods.

Describe how your organization can support the sustainability of the project and the possibility for

replication, scaling up or building inter-linkages/integration with other development initiatives including of

those carried out by LLGs

CELCOR has been in operation since its inception in 2000 and the organization grew from a two-man staff to

now staff totaling 15. We have been able to proof to a number donors around the world that we have an

important role to play. Because of our inputs in many areas of policy, law reforms, human rights protection and

more importantly, the environmental sustainability aspect of things had enabled us to secure long term funding

support from donors such Rainforest Foundation Norway, MacArthur Foundation, ICCO, Packard, and AusAid

under its Strongim Pipol Strongim Nesen Programme.

The RFN funding is a five year and our first five year term ended in 2011 and now we have signed another five

year contract which will expire in 2017. The other donors are supporting us for two to three years and the

possibility of continuing support is there. The possibility of support is there because we can provide our

technical and financial reports on a timely basis and maintain our communication with them on a regular basis.

Because of the funding availability and the continuous agreement between donors and us to maintain funding

arrangements, there is high possibility of replicating our interventions in other target areas. In this sense, we

anticipate building capacity of LLGs, and CBOs to take lead in further developing plans and promote

environmental sustainability at their level. While this is going on at the community level/LLG, we will also

work with relevant government departments, NGOs and development partners to continuously review and

amend policies and legislations that can promote sustainable environmental management and improving

livelihoods.

D. Project Monitoring and Evaluation

Indicate the results monitoring/tracking system used by your Organization which on data generation,

feedback, following up, reporting, lessons learning, monitoring and evaluation which determine the progress

of a project

Present how the project’s expected results (i.e. outputs) will be monitored and analyzed (.e.g. surveys,

reviews, interviews, site visits, focus group discussions, reports) including its frequency, timing and who is

responsible for undertaking the monitoring and overseeing the follow-up action necessary within the

organization. Kindly make reference to Table A.

As per the logframe provided in Table A, this will be the basis for our project Monitoring and Evaluation but

then we also approach it in a workshop form to see views from the CBO partners as to how the project was

progressing, impacting their organisation’s work or influencing the wider community or district to embark on

the biodiversity conservation and environment sustainability initiatives.

A number of workshops will be carried out in the 10 provinces with regard to community legal education, oil

palm and climate change awareness. During the workshop questionnaires will be given to participants of the

workshop to assess different aspects of the impact of the workshops and an evaluation of the workshop

presented by the participants.

After each workshop all data is compiled into a field report and submitted to the project coordinator to ensure

effective monitoring of project progress. All photos, oral statements and recorded interviews will all be a part of

the monitoring process and stated in field reports. Quarterly reports and yearly reports are then compiled to

comply with donor requirements.

available for the Coordinator to

organise and implement

activities.

*CBO partners will be trained in

paralegal training so they can

mediate issues and concerns at

the local level to diffuse any

tensions on their conduct to

lobby against oil palm expansion

and environmental distructions.

Output 3: By end of 2014, GEF's

Small Grant Program is exposed to

encourage many CBOs to access its

support to promote sustainable

biodiversity conservation in Papua

New Guinea

At least 20 plus participants or visitors attended the Expo.

Reports on the number of visitors and CBOs attended the expo for the duration of the show.

Many people who

attend the expo are

willing to consult

GEF SGP for

support in their

areas of

environment and

biodiversity

conservation.

Location of the expo

may not attract people

from remote

communities to attend.

Information will be

dissemination through different

communication medium such as

radio, mobile phones,

newspapers,and emails for

people to access and make

arrangement to attend.

Glossary*:

Project’s Immediate objective: The intended short-term development changes contributing to physical, financial, institutional, social, environmental or other benefits which may require collective effort from

partners in a given GEF geographic or thematic area. The intention of a project is to contribute towards these changes in conditions (outcome) through its outputs (i.e. activities and inputs). For PNG SGP, the

changes in development conditions are associated with strengthening the capacity and resilience of poor and vulnerable communities through the sustainable use and management of resources. For proposals

applying for SGP grants, the immediate objective of projects should contribute to one of the development output results of the SGP at the global level as stated in Annex A above.

Project Output(s): The products, goods and services that result from projects and associated activities, initiatives and advocacy efforts. They are what the project intended to deliver and directly result from

the completion of the project’s activities and contribute towards a change in a development situation. You should be realistic about the expected outputs of the proposed project to produce and therefore keep

the number of project outputs to between one and three, with one to two indicators per output is required. For example, one output might be increased horticultural production

Output Indicator(s): The qualitative or qualitative measurement to assess the performance of a project or indicate its progress of achieving the project’s intended outputs. Some examples of output indicators

on increased horticultural production are the number of hectares of orchards established and producing, number of farmers participating in at least one form of horticultural production, number of seasonal

jobs created, among others.

Output Target(s): Main deliverable or milestone of a project should be established against the indicator. For example, the proposed target for a horticultural production could be 120 men and women farmers

participating and benefiting from the community-based livelihood initiative.

Means of verification: Appropriate methodology to identify sources and how information can be collected to monitor, assess and evaluate a project. Examples are regular reports from projects, monitoring

reports, training reports, community baseline and endline surveys, surveys, community interviews, focus group discussions, expert opinion, case studies, among others.

Key assumption(s): General hypothesis about factors (political, socio-economic contexts) or risks which could significantly affect the success of a project.

Risk analysis: An assessment of factors (see assumptions in the Results Matrix) that are likely to affect the success of a project. These factors are beyond the control of a project such as armed conflicts,

political instability or economic crisis. The different types of risks are:

Environmental -Occurrence of natural calamity affecting significant number of the population which results to change in regional development priorities

Financial/ Operational/ Organizational – Audit finding caused major disruption in the operation of an organization that led to its temporary closure

Strategic - Planned merger of two government departments leads to deterioration of support for gender equality strategies

Political - Result of local government elections leads to withdrawal of political support for the electoral reform agenda being pushed by a programme; Ethnic tensions rise, leading to hostilities

particularly against minorities

Mitigating Strategies/Measures and Key Action(s): Any specific action to be taken to eliminate, reduce or manage the identified and new emerging risks of a project.

Inputs and Activities: How the intended outputs will be achieved or work performed through which project inputs (i.e. financial, human, material, technological, information resources and other types of

resources mobilized) to produce specific outputs. There should not be more than five activities per output.
