This is a component of the Support for Local Development and Agroforestry in Nippes project. It aims to reduce the vulnerability of populations and infrastructures to climate change and, more specifically, to natural disasters. The activities associated with this component are linked to the micro-watershed development plan and the commune development plans that were prepared as part of the main project component. They include establishment of local reforestation brigades, agroforestry activities, rehabilitation of agricultural and community infrastructures, and strengthening of seed storage systems.

N/A

Results achieved by this project, which ended in March 2013, include: Over 150,000 forest and 50,000 fruit tree plantlets were produced. Helping to increase local producers’ income and contributing to reforestation. More than 2,400 metres of the Charlier River were rehabilitated, and 8,000 cuttings of elephant grass were planted along a two-kilometre stretch of land to help riverbanks resist high water stages and prevent floods. More than 200 men and women in the target communities were sensitized to the potential impacts of climate change and to reforestation activities undertaken in their region. Finally, 2 meteorological stations were installed in order to help producers decide when the best time to plant for agricultural production is.
