PIMS-9620 Coastal Resilience Samoa

About this project

The proposed project will ensure nature-positive development and reduce ecosystem degradation in Samoa by valuing nature and applying Nature-based Solutions (NbS) with specific application to food and tourism sectors. This will be achieved through implementation of five project components that include (1) integration of nature values via Nature Capital Accounting (NCA) in key economic sectors through targeted economic, governance and financial interventions; (2) implementation landscape and seascape NbS in key ecosystems supporting the food and tourism sectors; (3) unlocking private sector capital and finance for NbS action in Samoa through PES and International Visitor Levee; (4) knowledge management, awareness, and gender-inclusive engagement to capture and share knowledge in relation to NbS and natural capital; and (5) a robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system to systematically monitor progress, and ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the NbS models
