The objective of the Local Forest Communities Support Project was to strengthen the capacity of targeted local communities in Burkina Faso to participate in REDD+ programs at local, national, and global levels. The project supported training in leadership, conflict resolution, and capacity-building for customary land tenure and traditional forest management systems. Sub-grants facilitated activities to improve livelihoods and supported reforestation efforts, contributing to the restoration or reforestation of 34,000 hectares of forest.

The project aims to increase preparedness against food insecurity and improve the resilience of food systems in participating countries. It will finance sub-projects, including scaling up delivery of climate smart agriculture technologies such as re-afforestation and restoring degraded water catchment areas through tree planting.

The objective of this pilot-scale project is to 1) to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Housing and Environment and local councils in planning and demonstration of community based wetland management, and 2) to implement a coral reef monitoring system. 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 objective of the Uttarakhand Decentralized Watershed Development Project (II) is to increase the efficiency of natural resource use and productivity of rainfed agriculture by participating communities in selected microwatersheds of the State of Uttarakhand.

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 will support watershed management planning and watershed restoration to reduce risk of landslide and floods.

The Government of Nigeria, through the Ministry of Environment, state and local governments, is implementing this project to reduce the vulnerability to soil erosion in targeted sub-watersheds. The multi-sectoral project will finance interventions to prevent and reverse land degradation on a demand-driven basis, initially focusing on gully erosion sites in southeastern states that threaten infrastructure and livelihoods.

The project used the restoration of vegetative cover and sustainable management of watersheds to reduce erosion and disaster risks.

The objective of the Disaster Risk Management and Urban Development Project for the Republic of Niger is to improve the country's resilience to natural hazards.

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.
