closed

The development objective of the Enhancing the Climate Resilience of Coastal Resources and Communities Project for Samoa is to support coastal communities to become more resilient to climate variability and change. The project consists of the following components: 1) implementation of priority adaptation measures to manage climate and disaster-related threats; 2) strengthened climate information services; and 3) institutional strengthening for climate and disaster resilience, project coordination and monitoring. The first component has two sub-components: participatory prioritization of disaster risks and adaptation options, and sub-grants for implementing priority climate resilience measures. The sub-components of the second component are Civil Society Organization (CSO) training, national and local-level education and raising awareness on climate resilience, and strengthened data platforms. The final component deals with financing a program of activities designed to strengthen the capacity of the government for project management, coordination and monitoring.
