The Niger Integrated Urban Development and Multi-sectoral Resilience Project aims to enhance flood resilience, improve urban management, and expand access to basic services in selected municipalities in Niger. The project includes flood risk reduction measures, such as drainage infrastructure and sand dune fixation, as well as urban greening to mitigate temperatures and preserve forests. These initiatives promote sustainable urban development and improve resilience in vulnerable communities.

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 Natural Resources Management in a Changing Climate Project aims to expand the adoption of sustainable land and water management practices in Mali. Key components include scaling up sustainable land management to improve biodiversity and reverse deforestation, diversifying local livelihoods to enhance resilience, and building capacity for governance and communication. The project promotes a landscape approach to protect ecosystems and their services while addressing climate change challenges.

The Moldova Agriculture Competitiveness Project aims to enhance the competitiveness of the agro-food sector by modernizing the food safety management system, facilitating market access for farmers, and mainstreaming sustainable land management practices. The project focuses on enhancing land productivity through soil conservation and rehabilitation of anti-erosion shelterbelts to promote agro-environmental sustainability.

The Mauritania Sustainable Landscape Management Project aims to strengthen sustainable landscape management in productive ecosystems. Key interventions include vegetation enrichment, construction of stone bunds, and zai pits to enhance soil productivity and reduce land degradation, contributing to ecosystem resilience.

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 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.
