UNCDF and UNIDO are inviting proposals from NGOs and CSOs to support local communities in the management of risks linked to environmental degradation through measures to adapt to climate change in areas at risk of inter-community conflicts.
The project ‘Support for the management of risks linked to environmental degradation through adaptation measures in areas at risk of inter-community conflicts’ – financed by the UN Peace Building Fund. It is implemented in partnership with the local communities of Dandougou Fakala (circle of Djené) and Pignari Bana (circle of Bandiagara) in the region of Mopti and Sandaré and Simby (circle of Kayes) in the region of Kayes.
The project uses existing funding mechanisms in favor of targeted local communities to support planning and climate change adaptation measures / investments by local communities by providing them with performance-based climate resilience grants (SRCBP). Project activities will facilitate the design and adoption of locally established and culturally appropriate strategies aimed at integrating gender issues and inclusive participation in the management of natural resource conflicts.
