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.

According to the Bank’s website, the objective of this project is to support climate resilient landscapes and livelihoods through sustainable natural resource management in targeted areas in Chad.

The project aims to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable rural populations in the face of climate change, including the fight against land degradation and desertification, and to support the integrated and inclusive management of natural resources and land, including increased availability of water resources to support livelihoods. The project will support the development of low-carbon, nature-positive, value chains from non-timber forest products (NTFP) for vulnerable populations, particularly women and young people in the Great Green Wall intervention zone. Value chains such as gum arabic, balanites, and forage crops, will be part of nature based solutions to improve resilience to climate variability, restore degraded lands and improve economic resilience of vulnerable populations. Investments will include planting native and drought-resistant trees and crops, forest conservation, assisted natural regeneration, agroforestry, land restoration, adequate management of surface water (stabilization of dunes, stone lines, hedges, water catchments), reforestation with local and non-invasive species. The project will invest in improving knowledge and management of water resources, essential for maintaining livelihood activities, and will include water retention weirs and underground water harvesting practices.
