The project sought to address the threat to vulnerable communities and sectors by the impacts of an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events caused by climate change due to limited technical capacity and resource availability. The objective of the project was to overcome the above barriers by promoting: i) innovative financing mechanisms to generate sustainable funding for adaptation interventions that build climate resilience; ii) demonstration of cost-effective adaptation interventions - focused on ecosystems - that protect community assets; iii) knowledge sharing at a national and regional level on innovative financing mechanisms and cost-effective adaptation approaches; and iv) mainstreaming of climate change adaptation into national and local policies and development planning. Overall, the project sought to build national capacity for climate change adaptation to increase the resilience of local communities and sectors the observed and anticipated effects of climate change.
