    Summary:

    This project is designed to reduce vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change, including variability at local and national levels.

    The programme has a 3 pronged approach:

    1. A main focus upon on-the-ground implementation of coastal adaptation measures, addressing climate change impacts on key infrastructure elements and coastal ecosystems in an integrated way. Integration is achieved within the framework of a comprehensive village land use plan – the CIM Plan.
    2. Strengthened institutional policies and capacities to provide an enabling environment for climate resilient coastal development; and,
    3. The systematic capture and dissemination of knowledge and lessons learned to aid and inform further implementation and pursuit of climate resilient development.
    Project Components:
    1. Community-engagement in coastal vulnerability assessment, adaptation planning and awareness
    2. Integrated Community –Based Coastal Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management measures
    3. Institutional strengthening to support climate resilient coastal management policy frameworks
    Expected Outputs:

    Objective 1: Reduce vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change, including variability at local and national levels

    • Outcome 1.1: Reduced exposure at national level to climate related hazards and threats
    • Output 1.1.Risk and vulnerability assessments conducted and updated at national level
    • Outcome 1.2: Strengthened institutional capacity to reduce risks associated with climate-induced economic losses
    • Output 1.2 Strengthened capacity of national and regional centers and networks to rapidly respond to extreme weather events
    • Outcome 1.3: Strengthened awareness and ownership of adaptation and climate risk reduction processes at local level
    • Output 1.4.Targeted population groups participating in adaptation and risk reduction awareness activities

    Objective 2: Increase adaptive capacity to respond to the impacts of climate change, including variability at local and national level.

    • Outcome 2.2: Increased adaptive capacity within relevant development and natural resource sectors
    • Output 2.2 and 2.3 Vulnerable physical, natural and social assets strengthened in response to climate change impacts, including variability
