Climate Resilient Fishery Initiatives for Livelihood Improvement

About this project

The overall Developmental Objective of this project is to conserve and protect fisheries resources and their habitats in light of the impacts of climate change through sustainable mitigation and adaptation measures thereby enhancing climate resilience of fishing communities. It will contribute to the realization of The Gambia?s Climate Change Policy objectives. The project also builds of the First and Second National Communications and the National Adaptation Programme of Action by promoting adaptation measures within the fishery sector. The project will also contribute to promoting economic development to significantly improving the livelihoods of vulnerable and poor beneficiaries; youth and women in particular. The project will thereby contribute to employment opportunities for the youths and women of this country and in the process discourage migration. The project aims to promote strategies that would reduce post-harvest losses and CO2 emissions as well as protecting the mangrove cover
