Promoting Biodiversity and Ecosystem-Bases Adaptation to Climate Change in Wadi Gaza

About this project

The project aims to protect the rapidly deteriorating natural resources in Wadi Gaza, improve the livelihoods of the residents of the Gaza Strip, as well as strengthen the institutional capacity of the Joint Service Council of Wadi Gaza and the neighbouring municipalities. The proposed initiative will also create nature-based solutions to mitigate the flood risks and enhance the biodiversity at the Wadi, as well as provide green and safe public areas and utilities for Gaza residents, especially for vulnerable groups such as women, youth, people with disabilities (PWDs), and the elderly. The project will focus on enhancing the knowledge and capacities of the Joint Service Council of Wadi Gaza (JSC-WG) and member municipalities in the protection, maintenance, and operation of Wadi Gaza. It will also focus on strengthening social inclusion and engaging local communities in the planning, design, and implementation of all interventions in Wadi Gaza.
