Enhancing Climate Resilience of Coastal Communities Sector Project

About this project

The project aims to enhance climate resilience and promote sustainable development in about 15 vulnerable coastal communities in Fiji. The project will pilot and implement climate adaptation measures such as hybrid and nature-based coastal protection solutions, increase community engagement and strengthen local and institutional capacities to address coastal flooding and erosion caused by sea-level rise and extreme weather. The project is expected to directly benefit 3,000 people living in the coastal communities of which 50% are women. The project is aligned with the following impact: climate resilience of coastal communities enhanced. The project outcome is climate exposure and vulnerability of coastal ecosystems and communities reduced. The project will have three outputs: (i) Resilient and integrated nature-based coastal protection provided; (ii) Climate resilient livelihoods supported; and (iii) Institutional capacity on integrated coastal protection improved. The project is estimated to cost $17.89 million. The project has a grant not exceeding $15 million from ADB's Special Funds resources (Asian Development Fund [ADF] Thematic Pool 14 on Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk and Resilience) and the ORCA-TF will provide grant cofinancing of $1.70 million, to be administered by ADB.
