Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The project is a climate adaptation investment aiming to enhance the resilience of livelihoods, ecosystems, irrigation infrastructure, and food security in the Valles Macro-region, to face the increasing hazards of climate change. It has the aim of changing the current paradigm of climate change vulnerability and conventional agricultural practices, to a paradigm based on transformative production systems that are well adapted to climate change and enable restoration of ecosystems. This transition will involve the adoption and mainstreaming of innovative financial mechanisms for use by financial intermediaries and to enable increased financial support to smallholders in the Valles Macroregion. The project has 4 components:

 

  • I) Strengthened food and income security through climate resilient agricultural systems;
  • II) Smallholder water resources secured to reduce the risks from droughts and low rainfall;
  • III) Restored and conserved micro-watersheds and ecosystem functions and services;
  • IV) Enabling conditions created to implement and upscale climate-resilient agroecological management, climate-informed micro-watershed management, and access to financial mechanisms.
