The Mangroves for Coastal Resilience Project aims to enhance the resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities by restoring and conserving mangroves. The project includes components for mangrove afforestation, supporting sustainable livelihoods, and strengthening integrated coastal management. These efforts reduce disaster risk, mitigate coastal flooding, and protect biodiversity.

The Shire River Basin Management Program (Phase-I) Project aims to develop a planning framework to improve land and water management for ecosystem and livelihood benefits in target areas. The project includes Shire Basin planning, catchment management to reduce erosion and improve livelihoods, and water-related infrastructure investments to regulate Shire flows and enhance climate resilience. These efforts support disaster risk management through watershed rehabilitation and improved management.

The Malawi Resilience and Disaster Risk Management Project aims to strengthen disaster risk management (DRM) systems, build resilience among vulnerable communities, and support disaster preparedness and recovery efforts. Key components include resilient infrastructure, risk reduction initiatives, and capacity building to enhance disaster response effectiveness.

The Malawi Floods Emergency Recovery Project aims to sustainably restore agricultural livelihoods, reconstruct critical public infrastructure to improved standards in the flood-affected districts, and improve the Government of Malawi’s disaster response and recovery capacities. The project includes components for livelihoods restoration, infrastructure rehabilitation, disaster resilience promotion, and program management.

The Madagascar Safety Nets and Resilience Project aims to increase access for extremely poor households to safety net services, develop the social protection system, and promote resilience to shocks. Key components include ensuring safety net program continuity, strengthening the social protection system, promoting resilience among vulnerable populations, and supporting project implementation and management.

The Ma'anshan Cihu River Basin Improvement Project in China aims to improve drainage and flood protection capacity in urban areas of Ma'anshan municipality. Key components include river rehabilitation, drainage improvement, restoration of natural storm drainage, water quality monitoring, and capacity building for project implementation and management.

The Shire Valley Transformation Program aims to increase agricultural productivity and commercialization for targeted households in the Shire Valley and to improve the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources. The project development objectives (PDO) are to provide access to reliable gravity-fed irrigation and drainage services, secure land tenure for smallholder farmers, and strengthen management of wetlands and protected areas. Additionally, the project will develop and improve wetland management.

The objective of the Local Forest Communities Support Project was to strengthen the capacity of targeted local communities in Burkina Faso to participate in REDD+ programs at local, national, and global levels. The project supported training in leadership, conflict resolution, and capacity-building for customary land tenure and traditional forest management systems. Sub-grants facilitated activities to improve livelihoods and supported reforestation efforts, contributing to the restoration or reforestation of 34,000 hectares of forest.

The project aims to increase preparedness against food insecurity and improve the resilience of food systems in participating countries. It will finance sub-projects, including scaling up delivery of climate smart agriculture technologies such as re-afforestation and restoring degraded water catchment areas through tree planting.

The objective of this pilot-scale project is to 1) to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Housing and Environment and local councils in planning and demonstration of community based wetland management, and 2) to implement a coral reef monitoring system. The Government of the Maldives will achieve this through the components Wetland Conservation and Water Resources Management, Coral Reef Monitoring and supporting project management, financed under the multi-donor Climate Change Trust Fund.
