The Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project of Ethiopia has the objectives to improve climate resilience, land productivity and carbon storage, and increase access to diversified livelihood activities in selected rural watersheds. This project is comprised of four components: (1) Green infrastructure and resilient livelihoods component will support the restoration of degraded landscapes in selected watersheds and help build resilient livelihoods on this newly productive foundation.

The project aims to strengthen institutional capacity for landscape restoration and climate resilience in Mali through territorial planning and conflict reduction strategies. It invests in restoring landscapes and ecosystem services while improving local livelihoods by creating income-earning opportunities. Coordination, monitoring, and emergency response mechanisms ensure effective implementation and resilience to climate impacts.

This project aims to strengthen integrated pollution and watershed management in the Qiandao Lake and Xin’an River Basin through investments in climate-smart agriculture, wetland and forestry ecosystem protection, and improved water and wastewater management. It also builds institutional capacity, including piloting Payment for Ecological Services (PES), to ensure the long-term sustainability of landscape and water resource improvements.

The program aims to strengthen food system resilience across seven West African countries through regional integration, improved food crisis prevention mechanisms, and sustainable management of agricultural landscapes. It promotes climate-adaptive food production, trade, and emergency preparedness to address food insecurity while ensuring effective project governance and monitoring

This project strengthens resilience for targeted communities and coastal areas in Western Africa by enhancing regional integration and institutional frameworks for coastal management. It finances investments to mitigate erosion, reduce flood risks, manage pollution, and promote climate-resilient development while supporting coordinated national and regional project implementation.

This project aims to enhance climate resilience in the coastal areas of Western Africa by targeting regional coordination, policy frameworks, and site-specific physical and social investments. It focuses on regional integration by harmonizing coastal governance policies and strengthening institutional collaboration to address resilience challenges. At the national level, the project supports operationalizing integrated coastal zone management plans and land-use strategies for effective management of transboundary ecosystems.

This project aims to strengthen governance and policies for the blue economy, enhance resilience of coastal infrastructure, and provide rapid response to emergencies. Participating countries will benefit from capacity building, regional collaboration, and investments in climate-resilient coastal assets to foster economic recovery and sustainability.

This project aims to strengthen Türkiye’s institutional capacity for integrated fire management and enhance the resilience of forests and communities to wildfires. Key activities include wildfire risk reduction, capacity building, restoration of fire-affected landscapes, and support for rapid response during emergencies.

This project improves the management of natural resources and tourism assets in Southern Tanzania while increasing alternative livelihoods for communities near Protected Areas. Activities include infrastructure improvements in Protected Areas, alternative livelihood development, and catchment conservation to ensure sustainable landscape and water management.

The Sustainable Land Management Project in Ethiopia seeks to reduce land degradation and enhance land productivity in targeted watersheds. It supports the scaling up of sustainable land and water management practices, strengthens institutional capacity, improves land tenure security, and promotes knowledge sharing for sustainable natural resource management.
