Ongoing project
Strengthening climate resilience of communities and ecosystems in the Dallol Bosso watershed in Niger
Quebec’s Ministry of the Environment, the Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks, through the International Climate Cooperation Program (PCCI), with a CECI contribution of $334,191
In the Dallol Bosso watershed in Niger, the AdaptEco project aims to strengthen the resilience of agricultural households to climate change. In response to environmental degradation caused by human activities and climate impacts, the project focuses on restoring ecosystems, notably through the planting of shrubs and trees. The goal is to improve conditions for farming and livestock activities by combining local knowledge with climate-adapted techniques and technologies.
The project also seeks to promote the inclusion of women and youth in natural resource management decision-making, with support from the Nigerien NGO FAD. The NGO Garkua will act as a local partner to strengthen producer and livestock organizations, local authorities, and technical services. The project’s results and lessons learned will be widely shared via electronic platforms and rural radio to improve practices and enhance communities' adaptive capacities.
