Context

Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) activities aim to ensure that projects financed by the Green Prosperity Project are designed on the basis of accurate and correct land use planning and data and are subject to and reinforce existing national laws, regulations and plans. Spatial certainty provides a basic foundation for an effective management of natural resources, agricultural commodities and renewable energy.

PLUP is designed to:
(I) put in place the foundational spatial (land use) planning elements needed to enable and sustain the specific investments in renewable energy and natural resource management funded by the GP Investment Facility;
(ii) improve spatial certainty for communities within the districts selected for GP investments; and;
(iii) support compliance with environmental, social and gender performance standards and safeguards
