The Resilient Infrastructure for Adaptation and Vulnerability Reduction Project aims to reduce vulnerability to riverine and flash floods in targeted communities and enhance disaster preparedness. The project supports afforestation activities, including planting trees and grass, to reinforce soil, reduce surface run-off, and improve resilience to flood risks.

The RESILAND CA+ Program: Uzbekistan Resilient Landscapes Restoration Project aims to increase the area under sustainable landscape management in Uzbekistan and enhance regional collaboration on transboundary restoration. Key activities include tree-based landscape restoration, strengthening institutions and policies, enhancing protected areas and nature-based tourism, and promoting community-based forest management.

The Republic of the Marshall Islands Urban Resilience Project aims to strengthen the resilience of select urban areas to natural hazards and climate change. Key activities include risk-informed adaptation planning, coastal resilience investments, and resilient public facility standards, supported by Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) like mangrove restoration and vegetated buffer zones. The project enhances institutional capacity for sustainable adaptation beyond its closure.

The Northern Mozambique Rural Resilience Project aims to improve access to livelihoods and strengthen natural resource management in rural areas of Northern Mozambique. The project includes mangrove restoration and coastal vegetation initiatives in Nampula and Cabo Delgado to stabilize coastlines, reduce erosion, and support fish spawning areas, alongside efforts to promote sustainable agriculture, fisheries, and community-driven development.

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 Integrated Water Security Platform Project aims to strengthen water resources management, increase access to water services, and improve resilience to climate-induced water variability in select areas of Niger. The project supports watershed restoration activities, including reforestation, land restoration, and agroforestry, while also expanding rural water supply, sanitation, and public sanitation infrastructure. Key components focus on integrated investments, institutional capacity building, and enabling flexible disaster response mechanisms.

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 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 N’Djamena Urban Resilience Project aims to reduce flood risk and strengthen climate-resilient urban planning and flood-related services in N’Djamena. The project implements green and gray infrastructure measures, including rain gardens, green corridors, and rehabilitation of urban wetlands to mitigate flood risks and enhance urban resilience. Key components focus on flood protection, climate-resilient urban planning, and community disaster preparedness.

The Msimbazi Basin Development Project aims to strengthen flood resilience and integrated urban development in the Msimbazi River Basin in Dar es Salaam. The project focuses on flood control, urban redevelopment, resettlement of vulnerable communities, institutional strengthening for basin management, and providing rapid response to emergencies. Key activities include hydraulic improvements, erosion control, resilient infrastructure, and watershed management.
