CO Mainstreaming Sust. Cattle Ranching Project AF

Development Objective

The Project's Global Environment Objective is to promote the adoption of environment-friendly Silvopastoral Production Systems forcattle ranching in Colombia's Project areas, to improve natural resource management, enhance the provision of environmentalservices (biodiversity, land, carbon, and water), and raise the productivity in participating farms.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE INDICATORS

INDICATORBASELINECURRENTTARGET
  • Area under environment-friendly cattle ranching production systems implemented in Project areasValue0.000.0063000.00
    DateFebruary 11, 2010January 31, 2018
    CommentThe 2013 value represents the areas under natural ecosystems (forests and wetlands) in the participating farms. The target valuerepresents the areas in the participating farms converted into SPS land-uses (such as pastures with trees, agroforestry, livefences,iSPS…), as well as the natural ecosystems that have been conserved. This refers to land-use UT#1-5 and 7 as per the Land useES index in Annex 4 of the PAD. The UT#5, live fences and wind barriers, are accounted as per conversion ratio 1km= 3.5ha.
  • Increase in the production of beef and/or milk per intervened hectare in participating farmsValue0.000.0010.00
    DateFebruary 11, 2010January 31, 2018
    CommentMeasurement of the beef/milk production will be made twice in a sample of participating farms: first measurement will be madeduring the second half of 2014and will give the baseline value; second measurement will be made before the mid-term review, and thethirdmeasurement just before the project closure. Detailed description of the methodology is included in the Manual of Operations.
  • Improved presence of globally important biodiversity in Project areas, as measured by an increase in the Environmental Services Index (ESI) resulting from the adoption of environment-friendly SPS in pValue0.000.00750000.00
    DateFebruary 11, 2010January 31, 2018
    CommentThis ESI is measured in each farm at the beginning of the project and the results are summed up to obtain a baseline score. Thisoperation is repeated annually, but the yearly score is subtracted from the baseline to find the incremental points (ESI) thatcorrespond to those obtained during the lifetime of the project.of the project.
  • Reduced soil erosion (tons/ha) induced by the adoption of SPS and measured in at least 2 pilot areas, over baselineValue0.000.000.15
    DateFebruary 11, 2010January 31, 2018
    CommentThe pilot plots are under implementation in two regions: Valle río Cesar and Ecorregión Cafetera. The pilot plots are underimplementation in two regions: Valle río Cesar and Ecorregión Cafetera. Measurements need to be made on a one-year period (to coverboth rainy and dry seasons). Accordingly, the baseline for this indicator will be available by July 2014
  • Reduction in greenhouse (GHG) emissions from avoided deforestation and forest degradation and increase in carbon sequestration at the farm-level through adoption of environment-friendly SPS in particiValue0.000.002000000.00
    DateFebruary 11, 2010January 31, 2018
    CommentAverage carbon content will be estimated for the different land-uses. There will be two measurements: (i) baseline once allselected farms are GIS-referenced, and (ii) at the end of the project based on the land use mapping of the beneficiary farms.Detailed description of the methodology is included in the Operation Manual.
  • Number of cattle ranching farms benefitting from Project instruments (technical assistance, PES, or support for establishment of on-farm nurseries)Value0.000.002700.00
    DateFebruary 11, 2010July 31, 2017
    CommentThe number of benefitting cattle ranching farms have been increased from 2,000 to 2,700. (During the project, socio-economicsurvey will allow to define the number of individuals benefitting of the project, cf. family composition of participating farms).
  • Out of which percentage of femaleValue0.000.000.00

  • Land area where sustainable land mgt. practices were adopted as a result of projValue0.000.0048000.00
    DateFebruary 11, 2010January 31, 2018
    CommentThis indicator is a WB Core Indicator. It relates directly to the above PDO indicator: while the latter includes area underconserved natural ecosystems, this indicator only reports additional areas converted into SPS land use as results of the project.
