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.

Restoration and conservation

Increased engagement of agricultural households, local producer and livestock organizations, traditional and communal local authorities, and other local economic and institutional actors—particularly by and for women and youth—in implementing ecosystem-based restoration and conservation practices in the targeted municipalities.
