CBA Preparatory Workshop
Opportunities for building resilience to CC in GEB
POTENTIAL PROJECT EXAMPLES

vulnerability reduction through ecosystem
protection of mangroves, wetlands and
coastal zone. Example: coastal rehabilitation,
tree planting, coral reef restoration, shoreline
improvement
Village Consultation – Group Discussion Men
and Women (Vaovai Village)
• Community-based landslips / flooding
vulnerability reduction through small hard
solutions such as; strengthening water flow
systems, waste management, reforestation to
reduce soil erosion; improve water quality for
consumption etc
Coastal erosion / mangrove ecosystem

Strategies and Support for Project Development
Support services for proposal development:
•Consultant in 2005; 5 month-intern in 2007 (CCPS, proposals ;
cheap but big turn-over)
•Strategies for maximizing community-drivenness while ensuring
proposal requirements and SPA eligibility
–Inception workshop and capacity building
–Little understanding of CC by CBOs. Need for local experts support, and a
lot of training.
–Challenge to translate local issues in CC adaptation language for
proposals.
•Capacity building strategies for grantees (understanding climate
change, writing proposals, etc)
–Workshops
–Site visits
–Support from local experts (consultants from private sector or ministries)
