1.Establishment of Nanshan National Park Patrol Technical Regulations: The guidelines have clarified the purposes, types, procedures, and documentation requirements for patrols. Standards for establishing patrol teams and planning patrol schedules and routes have been defined. Key plots, rare tree species, and endangered animals within the national park are under focused conservation, with any issues being reported promptly. Additionally, the regulations help in disseminating forestry policies and regulations, enhancing the community's awareness and participation in resource protection.   2. Issuance of the "Nanshan National Park Key Protected Terrestrial Wild Animals Damage Compensation Regulations": This policy specifies the circumstances, eligible compensation recipients, compensation authorities, and procedures. It provides necessary legal support and enforcement for citizens, legal persons, or other organizations that suffer losses due to the infringement of key protected terrestrial wild animals within the national park.

Implement a "sky-ground-air" three-dimensional patrol system, utilizing high-tech and information technology to enhance the intelligent capability of animal monitoring, improve patrol efficiency, and effectively address issues such as wildlife hazards faced by manual patrols.

The intention is to ensure access and availability of water for farmers and for domestic use and irrigation purposes for pastoralists in the community. Farm-led irrigation will help farmers be able to carry out year round agricultural activity, which will contribute to increased food production as well as improving livelihoods.

The ACReSAL project collaborates with three key ministries: Environment, Agriculture, and Water Resources. It operates across multiple institutional levels, including state, national, local, and community levels. This approach ensures that project implementers at all ministerial levels have their capacities strengthened, thereby sustaining the project's investments and efficient landscapes management.

The integration of sustainable agriculture and landscape management practices in land restoration efforts is crucial in conserving soil and water, promoting biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. This approach also improves livelihoods, enhances ecosystem services, and builds resilience. To achieve this, we conducted thorough assessments, engaged local farmers and other stakeholders, developed context-specific plans, provided training, monitored progress, and foster policy support. This ensures a holistic and sustainable restoration of degraded lands, benefiting both people and the environment, including water resources. It's important for the community to collaborate, contribute, and learn effective environmental management approaches to ensure the project's long-term sustainability and unsustainable agricultural practices.

A reference framework for the implementation of Social and Environmental Safeguards was implemented, based on the World Bank's operational policies, as well as on the national and international legal and regulatory framework on safeguards. Safeguards are defined as those actions taken to ensure that the environmental and social impacts derived from productive activities can be identified and mitigated through the implementation of good practices. These were designed as a risk mitigation management system, but also to increase the positive impacts of the subprojects implemented. The development of a framework for the implementation of the Safeguards component ensured that this component operated transversally in all actions and stages of the project. This promoted the implementation of specific strategies and actions at the subproject implementer level, under the principles and standards established for achieving social and environmental objectives. As part of the implementation of safeguards for the MDE Mexico Project, Environmental Management Plans (EMP) were designed to identify the mitigation measures that each subproject had to implement to avoid or mitigate possible negative social and environmental impacts associated with its productive activity, thereby enhancing the benefits of each initiative. Its construction was carried out in a participatory manner, together with the selected beneficiaries, as part of the process for the integration of technical proposals and planning documents for each subproject.

MDE Mexico designed a Monitoring and Evaluation System to measure its performance at different levels, which allowed reporting its results and lessons learned. This system was based on documentary evidence of the activities carried out during the implementation of the initiative, as well as on the information reported by project beneficiaries and the operation of the Information and Complaint Request System, linked to compliance with the project's safeguards. In this sense, the creation of mechanisms and tools to obtain first-hand information from the beneficiaries, under participatory and inclusive processes, was fundamental for its operation, for which the Subproject Monitoring and Participatory Evaluation System (SiMyEPS) was designed and implemented. This system brought together a set of principles, processes and participatory tools, so that the beneficiary groups themselves could measure their performance by monitoring, analyzing and reporting progress in the fulfillment of their activities and results. By documenting in this way the fulfillment of activities and objectives, the beneficiaries obtained relevant information to strengthen decision-making in their productive projects, improve their management and contribute to transparency.

In Mexico, there are barriers that hinder access to sources of financing for productive projects led by women and young people in the rural context, particularly those associated with land tenure and access to positions of participation, community and technical leadership. In addition, lack of access to training opportunities, limited experience, as well as technological and communication limitations, represent a major obstacle for these groups, not to mention the cultural aspects that are often incompatible with their involvement in community economic life. In this context, MDE Mexico addressed the social inclusion approach in a cross-cutting manner, through actions that favored the participation of women, youth and people without recognized agrarian rights or residents. The design of the Social Inclusion Window (VIS) made it possible to define specific financing strategies to facilitate the participation of these people and their inclusion in community development. These strategies resulted in an increase in the participation of women and young people in the identification and implementation of productive activities in forest territories.

Effective policy lobbying and advocacy must address the implementation of both existing and newly finalized policies to ensure they meet their intended goals. This involves continuous monitoring to track progress and assess the effectiveness of policy implementation. All partners involved in a program or policy must participate in this ongoing process to ensure alignment with objectives and adapt strategies as needed.

The natural resource sector in Kenya is governed by a complex web of laws and policies that directly impact community lifestyles and livelihoods. However, many community members lack knowledge of these laws, leading to confusion, especially when different government departments enforce contradictory regulations. 

NACOFA has taken on the responsibility of informing and educating communities about the relevant laws that affect them. By doing so, NACOFA helps protect communities from unwarranted actions by government officers. An example is the development and implementation of Participatory Forest Management Plans (PFMPs) and Forest Management Agreements (FMAs). Despite these agreements being signed between KFS and various CFAs, there are instances where KFS fails to honor the commitments, making community awareness critical for accountability.
