The World Bank is supporting the Government of Burkina Faso to increase climate resilience and further improve community-based natural resource management in rural communes. Its objective is to (i) support climate change governance; (ii) improve land use planning and economic activities around forest and woodland resources, reducing drought risk; and (iii) establish guidance, best practices and a structure of knowledge management around sustainable natural resource management as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation.

The Government of Kenya's efforts to make water supply and sanitation for the public and energy industry in its coastal counties Mombasa and Kwale more resilient have given rise to the World Bank-funded Coastal Region Water Security and Climate Resilience Project. The objective of the project is to sustainably increase bulk water supply to Mombasa County and Kwale County, and increase access to water and sanitation in Kwale County.

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's objective is to improve the livelihoods of rural households and the sustainability of natural resources in the program area. The project is part of the wider landscape management program, which will aim to integrate rural households into sustainable agriculture and forest-based value chains in the provinces of Nampula and Zambezia.

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.
