IndiaZooRisk+: Using OneHealth approaches to understand and co-develop interventions for zoonotic diseases affecting forest communities in India
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
Zoonotic diseases (that spread from animals to humans) disproportionately affect poor tropical communities and can lead to loss of life, impaired livelihoods, health and welfare. Forest habitats are a significant source of such diseases. For communities that depend on forests for food, fuel and income, accessing forests comes with the increased risk of being exposed to zoonotic pathogens. Although we know that zoonotic diseases are increasing globally, we still lack knowledge on how these diseases circulate between wildlife, livestock and people as they use forests, and how environmental changes like forest degradation interact with human migration, local culture and society (knowledge sharing), and policy (land tenure, disease prioritisation) to exacerbate emergence and spread. Focussing on India as a key global hotspot for endemic and emerging zoonotic diseases and bringing together a network of policy makers and practitioners from the human health, animal health and environmental sectors with experts (public and animal health, ecology, epidemiology and social science) - thereby following the One Health approach -, this project aims to reduce health, welfare and livelihood impacts of zoonotic diseases by (1) better understanding the impacts of different drivers on health outcomes and spread of zoonotic diseases (2) co-develop improved interventions, integrating traditional knowledge, with affected forest communities and, thereby building the capacity of local communities to be more resilient to zoonotic diseases. Three neglected zoonotic diseases, Leptospirosis, Kyasanur forest Disease and Scrub Typhus that are widespread across the Western Ghats forest communities and cause severe complications and death if untreated, yet have different transmission routes, will be taken as key case-studies for field research. The research underpinning these improvements will include: (1) understanding how local culture and policies, nutrition and environment factors affect community interventions, perceptions and health outcomes from zoonotic diseases. (2) investigating how different communities share knowledge on diseases and health intervention, including traditional knowledge, both with each other and with practitioners and managers, to improve communication strategies. (3) studying the role of different wildlife and livestock hosts and tick and mite vectors in transmission of disease to humans in different seasons. (4) understanding how long distance seasonal migration of pastoralists may promote resilience or increase their exposure to diseases and environmental change. (5) developing computer models and risk maps, integrating environmental and social data, for predicting the distribution and spread of diseases. (6) building capacity in research, data analysis and cross-sectoral collaboration to underpin future One Health approaches in India. Improved decision-support tools and Apps and prioritisation of traditional knowledge will help disease managers, policy makers and community workers to develop novel interventions and better target vaccination and communication efforts towards the communities that are most at risk and help managers in agriculture and environmental sectors to understand how, for these communities, disease impacts may coincide with other negative impacts of environmental change. The project platform and approach of co-developing research, training and decision support tools on zoonotic diseases with stakeholders across sectors, accounting for their needs and underlying ecological and social processes, will build significant capacity in science, policy and practitioners to respond to these emerging and endemic global threats in India and beyond.

Reducing Deforestation Through Improved Spatial Planning in Papua Provinces, Indonesia
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
The objective of the programme is to support Indonesia and the provinces of Papua and West Papua to improve spatial plan processes and implementation in order to prevent deforestation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Technical assistance will be provided to improve the revision and implementation of Papua and West Papua provincial spatial plans; to improve transparency and build constituency in spatial planning at provincial level; and to foster national policy dialogue and engagement to support Papua’s commitment to protect its forest. Support will be focused largely on two provinces – Papua and West Papua – and relevant national ministries (particularly Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning), which offer the potential to realise significant reductions in emissions through improved land use planning and economic development strategies which recognise the value of forests to the provincial economies.

Strengthening Forest Legality through Transparency and Accountability
World Resources Institute
The Strengthening Forest Legality through Transparency and Accountability Project builds on previous rounds of FGMC support. The first round supported WRI to launch Global Forest Watch (GFW), an online platform monitoring forests everywhere in near-real time. In the second round, WRI worked to demonstrate how transparency combined with customized information technology solutions could strengthen timber legality enforcement and private sector compliance, and drive greater accountability for tropical forest management. In the third FGMC round, WRI will deepen gains in forest and timber trade transparency while securing emerging processes and practices to hold governments and the private sector accountable for forest management and land use decisions. GFW remains central, and the Project will maintain and expand the global functions and reach of GFW. We will also expand ongoing engagement with actors and political processes globally and in key VPA and processing countries (Cameroon, Republic of Congo, China) to scale use of targeted information technology solutions. These include: Forest Watcher – a mobile app that brings near-real time deforestation alerts offline and into the field to assist law enforcement and civil society to identify and interdict forest crime. Forest Atlases – nationalized versions of the GFW platform owned and operated by forest ministries to enhance forest land use transparency and related policy enforcement. Open Timber Portal (OTP) – a web-based platform promoting trade in legal forest products by compiling information about forest sector compliance from government, companies and third-party forest monitors in producer countries. Uptake of these tools will support governments and private sector to implement their commitments to eliminate deforestation and illegal logging, and enable civil society to hold these actors accountable for their commitments.

Using the law to address illegal use of forest resources and promote better forest and land governance
ClientEarth
The causes and drivers of deforestation are rooted in the demand for and supply of timber and forest-risk commodities, such as soy, palm oil, beef and cocoa. Weak forest governance systems permit illegal operations of timber and forest-risk commodities to proliferate and threaten the world’s forests and the livelihoods for some of the world’s poorest communities. This project will strengthen weak forest governance systems, legal frameworks and law enforcement by improving the legal awareness, capacity and engagement of stakeholders who depend on, and are in a position to safeguard the future of, forests. This will significantly contribute to the improved management of forests, poverty reduction, biodiversity conservation, and climate protection

Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC), Policy Evaluation and Learning Team (PELT)
IPE Global Limited
DFID’s Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC) programme is a 10-year (2011-2021), £250 million programme aimed at tackling forest governance failures in developing timber-producing countries and the consequent market failures that result in illegal exploitation of forest land and resources and the associated trade in timber and other forest risk commodities. As FGMC approaches the end of its current phase, there is a need to take stock, at programme level, of progress and the prognosis for further achievements. To meet this need, FGMC has commissioned a ‘Policy Evaluation and Learning Team’ (PELT) to carry out research, reviews and analysis, jointly with PMST and DFID, to address the overarching question of: ‘how, why, and under what conditions do forest-related governance and markets change, to what effect and to whose benefit?'
