Project Overview
Climate change poses a significant threat to the African continent, one of the most vulnerable to climate extremes, also suffering from a limited capacity to adapt to a changing climate. The continent’s main growth engines rely on natural resources, including agriculture and forestry, that are heavily impacted by climate variability and also critical for the livelihoods of communities.
Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire are vulnerable to climate change.
The project’s purpose is to empower Civil Society Organizations in Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire, to become advocates of strong and decisive climate action, domestically, regionally, and internationally. To implement it, GGGI will offer the following work package that will support the improvement of environmental and climate change governance for more ambitious climate action in the three targeted countries.
The project is expected to impact the capacity of CSOs from two countries, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire to influence climate policies thus helping enhance the adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience, and reducing vulnerability to climate change of vulnerable and poor farmers. The project will train and enhance the capacity of 100 CSOs / 1000 CSO members, including 450 men and 550 women, and relevant actors, publish 06 policy briefs concerning key sectors/themes in the region. Linkages between CSOs at the national and regional level will be built with at least 06 CSOs in Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire becoming members of national or regional climate-related platforms, networks, or advocacy groups.
