This project implemented by the Government of Rwanda was to demonstrate landscape management for enhanced environmental services and climate resilience in one priority landscape. Specifically, the project restored the highly degraded Gishwati-Mukura landscape, enhancing both productive and environmental values.
Combined, the engineered and nature-based measures (mangroves) have protected 1.37 kilometers of coastline (above the baseline) for a total of 1.87 kilometers28, exceeding both the revised PDO-level target of 1.2 kilometers and the original target of 1.6 kilometers. Community-based mangrove management plans have been prepared and adopted under the village development committees and are being implemented to ensure the sustainability of the coastal protection measures on the outer islands. Mangrove as NBS also noted as protecting water suplies from saltwater instrusion.
The objective of the Kiribati Adaptaion Program was to improve the resilience of Kiribati to the impacts of climate change on freshwater supply and coastal infrastructure. The project's engineered and nature-based measures (mangroves) have together protected 1.37 kilometers of coastline (above the baseline) for a total of 1.87 kilometers. School visits, teachers and students took care of mangroves used. Community-based mangrove management plans have also been prepared and adopted under the village development committees and are being implemented to ensure the sustai
The project was comprehensive, using insitutional capacity building and awareness raising of SLM for DRM, using community-based activities to restore and sustainably manage areas such as the restoration of natural waterways, reforestation of hillsides and watersheds and bush fire control (Savanna, Maritime and Kara regions). Community-Based activities in Cropland and Grazing Land included SLM best practices will be piloted and promoted in targeted areas.
The project objective was to strengthen institutional capacity of targeted institutions to manage the risk of flooding and land degradation in targeted rural and urban areas. The Government of Togo aimed to achieve objective through 1) community-based activities in watershed and flood-prone areas; 2) community-based activities in cropland and grazing lands; 3) community-based sustainable forest and wetland management; as well as 4) early warning, monitoring and knowledge systems and 5) institutional strengthening and awareness raising.
The objective of the project implemented by the Government of Morocco is to pilot the application of an integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) approach on its eastern Mediterranean coast. ICZM implemented at local level by all users of the coastal resources will leverage rural pollution reduction and protection of biodiversity and ecologically sensitive areas. The project used non-structural and structural interventions, such as training on ecosystem-based co-management, wetlands and dune restoration, and the creation of an artificial reef.
The objective of the Environmental Land Management and Rural Livelihoods Project for Tajikistan was to enable rural people to increase their productive assets in ways that improve natural resource management and resilience to climate change in selected climate vulnerable sites. The project resulted in 44,235 hectares of land with sustainable land management (SLM).
The objective of the assistance delivered to Indonesia and the Philippines under the project Capturing Coral Reef Ecosystem Services was to design and support the uptake of innovative models for valuing mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef ecosystem services with the potential to enhance the sustainability of marine-based enterprise and marine spatial planning in select coastal communities in Indonesia and the Philippines.
The objectives of the Andhra Pradesh Disaster Recovery Project are to restore, improve, and enhance resilience of public services, environmental facilities, and livelihoods in targeted communities in the State of Andra Pradesh, India. To this end, the Government of India, the State of Andhra Pradesh and the World Bank have designed an integrated project with seven components that includes restoring mangroves to improve coastal resilience, which act as a "shelter belt", and beachfront restoration.
The Government of Nicaragua, with support from the World Bank, is addressing the climate resilience of its coasts and inland water and land resources in the project Adaptation of Water Supplies to Climate Change. The project’s objective is to pilot water resources protection and drinking water supply systems with an integrated and participatory approach in selected climate vulnerable communities in Nicaragua.
