A comprehensive approach to building resilience and responding
to current & urgent needs as well as plan for CC impacts
• Vulnerability assessment and participatory approach in the
design and implementation
• Addressing priority needs as identified by the communities
• Long-term capacity building with various trainings and setting
up of local management committees
• Spill over effect : the activities and effects of the project have
been conducted and felt outside of the areas of intervention
• Setting up of climate information system (community radios)
• Climate mainstreaming into local development planning

Effective engagement of local municipalities and communities
in the implementation, « learning by doing» approach, dialogue
and adaptive management make it possible to implement
develop activities despite the insecurity and eco-systemic
fragility context.
Cash for work l abour intensive work activities and cereal and
animal feed banks contribute to building the capacities of
vulnerable groups with regards to access to food security
Degraded land recuperation and restoration of degraded
ecosystem help reduce rural exodus.
Community based adaptation approaches require time to
build long term capacities and ensure the sustainability of
actions.
