Project metrics

Outcome 1:

Strengthened adaptive capacity and reduced exposure to climate risks

A2.0 Increased resilience of health and well- being, and food and water security: Number of males and females benefiting from the adoption of diversified, climate- resilient livelihood options (including fisheries, agriculture, etc.);
A2.0 Increased resilience of health and well- being, and food and water security: Number of males and females with year - round access to reliable and safe water supply despite climate shocks and stresses
Use by vulnerable households, communities, businesses and public-sector services of Fund-supported tools, instruments, strategies and activities to respond to climate change and variability
Number of males and females with access to timely, gender-responsive early warning information
Number of women in targeted wards with improved assets and income from climate resilient livelihoods
Social audit protocols established and operational across 39 Unions for participatory monitoring of resilient livelihoods
Number of males and females with year- round access to reliable and safe drinking water
Total Number of project-established climate-resilient drinking water systems operational
Evidence of policy/programs in other sectors integrating gender and climate change
Number of girls and boys with increased awareness through 'adaptive learning' training through school and community-based communications
