Simiyu Climate Resilience Project: FP041

Project Outline

The objective of the project is to increase the climate resilience of rural and urban households, particularly those of women and small-scale farmers, living in the Simiyu Region and to improve policies and regulation for cross-sectoral action towards climate adaptation.
Fields of action include:

  1. Improving the government's institutional and regulatory framework for cross-sectoral and community-based adaptation planning.
  2. Improving climate resilience of water supply infrastructure, sanitation services, and agricultural practices in the Simiyu Region.
  3. Pursuing a community-driven approach to ensure targeting of the most vulnerable households.
  4. Enhancing adaptive capacities of vulnerable urban and rural populations, as well as improving capacities of local and central government structures.
