The Government of the Maldives will achieve this through the components Wetland Conservation and Water Resources Management, Coral Reef Monitoring and supporting project management, financed under the multi-donor Climate Change Trust Fund.

The Government of Ghana aims to demonstrate improved sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices to reduce land degradation and maintain biodiversity in selected microwatersheds and build capacity for upscaling in northern Ghana. The project combines soft and hard investments at the community level with planning activities.

The Government of Senegal, in coordination with sector ministries and municipalities, implemented this project to improve stormwater drainage and flood prevention in peri-urban Dakar. The project consists of three main topical components, ranging from flood risk mainstreaming in the urban sector, drainage investment and management, to community engagement in urban flood-risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. The program and the national strategy to be developed here will include both structural and non-structural measures.

The grant supports Panama City in developing a concept plan for urban and coastal resilience, articulating a comprehensive strategy of public investments and infrastructure financing, aiming to strengthen urban resilience.

The Government of China has set aside funds to implement the concept of new urbanization and support Ningbo as one of the pilot municipalities in promoting inclusive cities for low-income people and migrant workers.

The objective of the project “Natural Resource Management in a Changing Climate in Mali” is to expand the adoption of sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices in climate vulnerable targeted communes in Mali. The Government of Mali aims to achieve this through the implementation of capacity building, biodiversity conservation, and support to poverty reduction activities applying an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. This approach will enable project beneficiaries in 14 communities across three provinces to adapt to climate change and ultimately to increase their resilience.
