This project supports gender-transformative climate change mitigation and adaptation around Lake Tchad to increase climate-resilient food systems, livelihoods, and environmental and human well-being. The local project partners, Lutheran World Foundation Chad and Lutheran World Foundation Cameroon, jointly planned the project with Canadian Lutheran World Relief. The project engages with local, technical, and governmental partners to deliver at the landscape level. This project works towards the outcome of improved low-carbon, climate-resilient economies in the Logone-Chari River region for the enhanced well-being of communities, especially women, girls and other vulnerable groups. Project activities include: (1) provide training to community groups and governance bodies to support climate adaptation and nature-based solutions; (2) provide support to local communities to restore and upgrade local irrigation systems; and (3) provide support in identifying nature-based and solutions-based livelihoods opportunities, based on the financially viable and sustainable use of biodiversity for women, girls, and other vulnerable groups. The project directly targets 128,114 beneficiaries (46,847 women, 30,375 men, 20,108 boys and 30,124 girls).

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved technical capacity of local governance bodies, including gender-equitable participation and decision-making, to support nature-based solutions, climate resilience, and improved biodiversity; (2) enhanced adoption of gender-responsive nature-based solutions for improved biodiversity and adaptation to climate change, particularly for women and girls, in the Logone-Chari Basin; and (3) enhanced adoption of climate-resilient livelihoods in the targeted landscape, particularly for women and girls, through sustainable use of energy sources, nature-based solutions and biodiversity.
