This project aims to strengthen the capacity of Mexican authorities to control and monitor illicit substances, to detect and dismantle clandestine laboratories, and to better analyze, manage, and dispose of synthetic drugs and chemical precursors. Through such efforts, this project will help counter the production and flow of illicit substances, with a particular focus on synthetic drugs, to and through Mexico with the ultimate objective of enhancing regional safety and security.

To be implemented by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), this project will leverage relevant subject matter expertise to deliver training, equipment, and technical support to enhance Mexico’s capacity to counter the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs and increase relevant information sharing across the wider region.

Project activities will include: (1) Delivery of on-site training on safe handling, disposal, and analysis of synthetic drugs and precursor chemicals; (2) Facilitate and convene discussions with key authorities involved in dismantling synthetic drug laboratories and handling chemical precursors; and (3) Development of a curricula meant for sharing lessons learned and best practices based on current collaborative work and gender responsive mechanisms.

The project aims to improve the resilience of agricultural livelihoods, particularly for women, by promoting the adoption of gender-responsive climate-smart agriculture practices. The project operates in 5 regions of northern Ghana where farming communities are highly vulnerable to droughts and other climate-related challenges. Project activities include: (1) providing training through tailor-made training programs on climate-resilient farming practices and resources to enhance women’s capacity to adapt to climate change and to address specific barriers such as limited access to land, technology, and financial services; (2) facilitating access to financial products such as low-interest loans, waived collateral, and flexible repayment terms. These financial products are tailored to 14,500 smallholder farmers for purchasing farming inputs and to 480 agribusiness traders for storage and trade as well as to 20 small and medium size enterprises to enhance value-added processing; and (3) delivering leadership training to strengthen women’s ability to take an active role in community planning and decision-making processes related to agriculture and climate adaptation within their communities.
For administrative reasons, this initiative appears as two separate elements in the GAC system. Projects P013877001 and P013877002 are the same project.

This project aims to improve biodiversity and key ecosystem health along Honduras’ Atlantic and Pacific coasts using nature-based solutions. It responds directly to Canada’s commitment to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to safeguard and restore biodiversity. The project focuses on people dependent on these ecosystems, particularly women, youth, and Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples, whose livelihoods remain threatened by climate change, habitat loss, and ecosystem degradation. Project activities include: (1) strengthening protected areas governance and management; (2) restoring ecosystems and recovering threatened species through nature-based solutions; (3) improving agroforestry, agriculture, ecotourism and cattle ranching sustainability through model nature-based solutions; (4) strengthening public sector biodiversity policy framework; and (5) enhancing women’s empowerment and Indigenous people’s rights.
