General Observations The following issues appear under different Goals, and activities: • Valuation studies and awareness training (2.1.2, 2.1.9, 2.5.3, 3.1.1, 4.2.1, 4.3.2) • Support to Micro, SME development with sector focus on agriculture, tourism (3.1.4, 4.1.2) These issues could be addressed using a holistic approach; simultaneously mainstream into every project and/or For example: • SMEs related activities could be addressed holistically in line with the related activities (see spreadsheets) and in coordination: MoA, SAA, Senpa, STB, MoIndustry etc. • Existing valuation studies could be packaged with CSR, carbon foot printing, certification and ISO standards
Goal 1 Land Use Planning and Land Use Management are Supportive of Sustainable Land Management Funding gaps: • Valuation and awareness (linked to 2.1.2, 2.1.9, 2.5.3, 3.1.1, 4.2.1, 4.3.2) • A major funding gap 1.3.3: “Acquire Sensitive Land for Reserve” Current funders: • UNDP GEF: SLM project, IOC, EU and others • Activity 1.4 Minimized Risk from Land Slides has support from several projects: • WB Support to Risk Management • ADF/COI: Risques et Catastrophes • ISLANDS

Goal 4 Physical Infrastructure Developments and Coastal Zone Developments are Supportive SLM Funding gaps: • SME development (already covered above) • Wetland and coastal Zone management: • Emergency fund • Maintenance for infrastructure Current funders: • Tourism and MME: none • Wetland and coastal zone management • JICA: Coastal Erosion and Flood Control Management • UNEP/UNDP/Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs: CCDARE – Climate Change Adapting by Reducing Vulnerability - training workshop on shoreline Management (with emphasis on climate change in Seychelles; government and NGOs • IOC: ReCoMAP: • Anse Boileau Timber Pilling (coastal protection) • Anse Royale Pilot Project to Control and Manage Human and Vehicular Trampling on dune land • Hand book on Coastal and Wetlands Management for learner (schools)
Goal 4. Physical Infrastructure Developments and Coastal Zone Developments are supportive of sustainable land management Possible funders: • State Budget • EU General Budget Support through State Budget • COMESA CAADP investment plan • COI: ISLANDS • COI: EDF RIF project and others Most funding gaps are large and requires funding mobilizers to address this issue within existing planning frameworks Note: Best practice on CSR – collaboration Climate and Environmental Services and private sector extensive collaboration with the hotel sector and Districts • Banyan Tree Domain de l’Orangerie (La Digue) • Epheilia resort La Reserve (Praslin) • Allamanda Hotel (Mahe) Lamuria Resort • Cousine Island on carbon footprint Le Meridien Barbarons (Mahe)
