active

The development objective of Gulf of Guinea Northern Regions Social Cohesion Project for Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo is to improve regional collaboration and the socioeconomic and climate resilience of border-zone communities in the target northern regions of the Gulf of Guinea countries exposed to conflict and climate risks. This project has five components. The first component, Investing in Community Resiliency and Inclusion, has the following sub-components: Community investments for strengthening local resilience and inclusion; Strategic economic investments for climate-resilient economic development; and Youth engagement and social cohesion activities. The second component, Building foundation and capacity for inclusive and resilient communities, will finance various training and capacity-building activities that can build the capacity of local stakeholders to support or manage community-resilient and inclusive investments. The third component, Regional Coordination Platform and Dialogue, will therefore aim to strengthen regional collaboration across the four target countries to support a coherent response to prevent FCV risks and manage climate and disaster risks in the Gulf of Guinea. The fourth component, Project Management, will support project management and coordination at the regional, national, and subnational levels.
