PISLM SIDS Pavilion at COP16
🚨🌿 The SOILCARE Project Team in 🇬🇩 Grenada recently visited intervention sites in Carriacou to assess the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl. Project Manager-Trevor Thompson and Project Assistant-Kennisha Canning engaged with local farmers in Dumfries, Limlair and Bellevue South to better understand the impact on the ground. 💔👩‍🌾 As part of the Caribbean Small Island Developing States (CSIDS multicounty soil management initiative for Integrated Landscape Restoration and climate-resilient food systems (SOILCARE), the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) is collaborating with regional member states to develop effective response interventions. This includes countries like Grenada 🇬🇩, Barbados 🇧🇧, Jamaica 🇯🇲, and St. Lucia 🇱🇨, all of which were heavily impacted by the hurricane. 🌍🤝 Our focus is on assessing damage related to soil erosion, land degradation, and soil health, loss and the impact on livelihoods while strengthening partnerships with local governments, NGOs, and community groups to ensure a robust recovery. Since the passage of Hurricane Beryl, the PISLM has set up a ‘Hurricane Response Team’ that has been tasked with aligning resources to facilitate effective land and soil management as part of the recovery efforts. Together, we aim to build climate-resilient food systems and restore landscapes affected by this climate change-driven disaster. 🌱💪 #SOILCARE #ClimateResilience #HurricaneResponse #CommunitySupport #SustainableLandManagement #PISLMHurricaneResponse #PISLM #Solidarity

PISLM Project Steering Committee Meeting Dominica
Project Manager for the CSIDS SOILCARE project , explains that it sets the Caribbean SIDS on a firm foundation to implement sustainable land and soil management, and address land degradation across the region; providing countries with the support they need to take action. He said it also seeks to enhance land and water productivity and improve farmers’ livelihoods in the participating countries, which have ratified the UNCCD and adopted LDN targets to be achieved by 2030, all aimed at combating land degradation, desertification and drought processes that are exacerbated by human pressures on limited land resources and climate change

Grenada Stakeholder Validation for SOILCARE -Lauren St. Louis
St. Lucia has hosted a validation workshop on May 07, 2024, on actions to be implemented within the three (3) Intervention. Thirty-seven (37) local stakeholders, including farmers, policymakers, and environmental advocates participated in the workshop. The workshop is part of the Caribbean Small Island Developing States (CSIDS) Multi-country Soil Management Initiative for Integrated Landscape Restoration and Climate Resilient Food Systems (SOILCARE, Phase 1), implemented by the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM). It was executed in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development. Participants were exposed to the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework, which guides the identification of appropriate management responses and facilitates ecosystem-based assessments for the intervention sites in St. Lucia. The objectives of the workshop were: to brief stakeholders on DPSIR analysis; present findings on land capability and soil fertility in each assessment unit in the intervention sites; discuss the planned SSM/SLM strategies for each intervention site; and draft a Procurement plan for intervention actions. The three (3) intervention sites Darban, Arthur Lewis College and Roseau will directly benefit from SOILCARE interventions.
