Investments will include a variety of green infrastructure measures, sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices, and livelihoods diversification. Green infrastructure will be designed in conjunction with gray infrastructure to optimize the functionality, cost-effectiveness, and resilience of the integrated natural and built system.
The project used farmer-led natural regeneration, which is mostly to create food forests, but also improve forest cover to reduce water runoff and maximizing rain infiltration (and protection from wind).
The project has been restructured to include nature-based solutions, which aligns with their NDC ambitions. They will use NBS relating to forests, conservation, and other to meet PDO. The work will be implemented by the National Disaster Risk Management Fund. It will also have community resilience component.
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 is quite comprehensive, involving capacity building that supports coastal management, and the implementation of coastal protection and green infrastracture. This will include restoration and rehabilitation of coral, wetlands, and sea grass
The Government of Niger recognizes the importance of holistic land and water resource management to improve local population’s resilience to drought and flood. To this end, the Community Action Project for Climate Resilience project was established with World Bank support. It aims to achieve this by mainstreaming climate resilience into development strategies at national and local levels, and by integrating climate resilience practices into agro-sylvo-pastoral systems and local populations’ social protection measures.
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.
The project worked to fund community-led development projects, and build capacity for improved land management practices.
The project aims to increase access to improved irrigation services and agricultural inputs, and strengthen the integrated management of natural resources in the Selected Landscapes by the local actors and, to provide immediate and effectiveresponse to an Eligible Crisis or Emergency. This includes financing key conservation and protected areas in selected forest landscapes.
