other livelihoods or income, such as tourism and recreation

This component aimed at empowering municipalities, residents, and community groups to actively engage in urban flood risk reduction measures and adaptation to climate change through piloting the development and implementation of participatory urban community investments and an awareness raising and communication campaign. It supported the participation of community members in urban flood risk management and small-scale pilot investments aimed at the rehabilitation and maintenance of natural or artificial retention basins and/or urban wetlands allowing for natural runoff.

The project uses greening and bio-engineering approaches to restoring roads and making them climate resilient

The project will fill critical infrastructure gaps in the Integrated Transport Network Development Plan (“ITNDP”) demonstrating use of innovative, climate-informed, safe, and nature-based solutions. It will also invest in innovative, climate resilient, nature-based design and construction solutions for roads and bridges, least-cost-engineering solutions for local infrastructure.

The project focuses mostly on the use of terracing and protection of natural areas to reduce land degradation and provision associated benefits, such as flood risk reduction, erion control.
