The objective of the Enhancing the Climate Resilience of the West Coast Road (WCR) Project for Samoa was to: (i) improve the climate resilience of the West Coast Road; and (ii) enhance local capacity to develop a more climate resilient road network. There were three components to the project, the first component being Improving Climate Resilience of the WCR. This component implemented measures to strengthen the climate resilience of the economically critical WCR, which is a key Government of Samoa (GoS) objective under the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR).

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.
