Climate Investment Fund

The Northern Congo Agroforestry Project aims to strengthen climate-smart agriculture and conservation practices in Community Development Zones in the departments of Sangha and Likouala. The project includes activities to establish tree nurseries, provide seedlings, and promote sustainable forest resource management and agroforestry practices to enhance resilience and biodiversity conservation.

The Niger Community Action Project for Climate Resilience aims to improve the resilience of populations and production systems to climate change in targeted Communes. The project focuses on mainstreaming climate resilience into development strategies, integrating resilience practices into agro-sylvo-pastoral systems, and ensuring effective coordination and monitoring of project activities. These interventions aim to enhance adaptation to climate variability and protect vulnerable communities.

The project will support the design nd pilot implementation of the Community Adaptation Fund (CAF) in the Gicumbi District. This includes piloting landscape restoration in the Gicumbi District through the CAF on investments such as catchment restoration and rehabilitation through reforestation, silvo-pastoralism and other watershed protection measures that have demonstrated community resilience to climate change. The project will also support the development of flagship programs such as Water Security for All Flagship Program.

The Government of Niger recognizes the importance of holistic land and water resource management to improve local population’s resilience to drought and flood. To this end, the Community Action Project for Climate Resilience project was established with World Bank support. It aims to achieve this by mainstreaming climate resilience into development strategies at national and local levels, and by integrating climate resilience practices into agro-sylvo-pastoral systems and local populations’ social protection measures.
