Project description
The objective of this LDCF-financed project is: To strengthen the adaptive capacity and climate resilience of vulnerable coastal communities to climate risks in Guinea-Bissau. The Project has three main components, each with a corresponding outcome formulated: •Support the establishment of an enabling political, institutional and administrative environment for advancing the management of the climate risk in the coastal zone;•Finance additional investments in hard and soft coastal protection measures to help maintain critical economic and natural infrastructure in the face of sea level rise and coastal degradation. Those will include interventions in the agricultural and fisheries sectors, as well as relating to nature protection and ecosystem restoration, for which the project will build on achievements from baseline interventions and work in close collaboration with co-financed ones; and •Contribute to strengthening the climatic resilience by having livelihood options for the coastal communities with the special emphasis to most vulnerable groups such as women and youth
