Enhancing resilience of vulnerable coastal areas and communities to climate change in The Gambia

The project is designed to reduce Gambia’s vulnerability to sea-level rise and associated impacts of climate change by improving coastal defences and enhancing adaptive capacities of coastal communities. The project will primarily address The Gambia’s National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) on Climate Change priorities on coastal zones and fisheries, based on the following components: (i) Policy and institutional development for climate risk management in coastal zones; (ii) Physical Investments in coastal protection against climate change risks; and (iii) Strengthening livelihood of coastal communities at risk from climate change. The proposed project will employ a feedback loop between these 3 components and enable successful community-based adaptation approaches in coastal areas to be analysed and replicated in other vulnerable regions, both within and outside of The Gambia.
