Resume

The purpose of the intervention is to enhance the climate resilience and livelihood security of 30 communities (63.500 inhabitants) in Freetown, through community driven climate adaptive initiatives. The intervention will strengthen existing structures and build community organisation capacity to assess local climate risks and plan for climate resiliency actions. Technical capacity and implementation of small-scale adaption interventions, such as tree planting and canal digging, will serve as demonstration sites, and strengthen the resilience and livelihood security of the communities. Access to climate safe and clean water (strategic service) will be prioritized, through assessment of existing water supply facilities, and construction of a best-practice sustainable model for innovative water supply. Strategical actors will be engaged through advocacy and knowledge sharing initiates, to strengthen a shared climate adaptation agenda.
