This project aims to support vulnerable communities in the islands of Grenada, Saint Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines to increase water security through nature-friendly, community-driven rainwater-harvesting systems. Support targets vulnerable households and farmers in the communities, and promotes female leadership and support to women farmers.

Project activities include; (1) providing capacity building for integrated water resource management that considers climate change impacts, biodiversity and inclusivity; (2) designing a strategy for collecting and digitizing hydro-meteorological data to better inform adaptation planning and support climate finance applications; (3) providing, repairing or restoring equipment for rainwater capture and storage; and (4) promoting cross-country exchanges to facilitate the sharing of knowledge on best practices.

This project aims to increase the climate resilience of people and communities in Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname through improved marine and coastal ecosystem management. The project will achieve this by transforming the management of coral reefs and coastal ecosystems to ensure that their biodiversity is protected and that the vital ecosystem services they provide, including protection of coastal communities and shorelines from erosion and impacts of tropical storms—are sustained.

Project activities include: (1) developing and implementing country-specific frameworks and action plans through participatory methods. Also supporting the development and application of policies for coral reef and coastal ecosystem protection and management; (2) undertaking scientific data collection and mapping of coral reef zones and coastal ecosystems for the development of platforms that will support decision-making for their conservation and protection; (3) supporting the implementation of sub-projects focused on the restoration, repopulation, rehabilitation and management of coral reefs and coastal ecosystems in Belize, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Suriname; (4) providing training, capacity-building, and technical assistance for restoration, repopulation, rehabilitation and management of coral reefs and coastal ecosystems; and (5) collaborating, cooperating, and building partnerships with other regional and global initiatives, and research and learning institutions, to support better ecosystem protection and management regionally and globally.

This project will be implemented in Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Suriname. It will involve the participation of national governments, the private sector, civil society and society at large. The targeted beneficiaries are coastal and fishing communities in the Caribbean, includes marine protection and management agencies, universities, government ministries responsible for fisheries, fisherfolk organizations, and civil society organizations involved in coastal and marine protection.

The project will aim to improve the living conditions and food security of 10,000 persons living in the dry corridor of El Salvador, by promoting the participation and empowerment of rural women and youth, with a focus on nutrition, climate change adaptation, and management of water-forest-soil resources.

This project will aim to strengthen food security and climate resilience, with a nutrition-sensitive approach that considers adaptation to climate change, good management and conservation of water-forest-soil resources; promote the participation and economic empowerment of rural women and youth and address inequality in access to safe and nutritious food for healthy diets; and implement mechanisms and drought contingency plans as well as anticipatory actions based on drought forecasts in selected municipalities of the Dry Corridor.

This project will seek to learn from and engage with the gendered space of insider mediation in nonviolent socio-political movements, to improve their effective contribution to conflict transformation. This will involve activities that will support: (1) understanding the diversity of constructive roles and approaches exhibited in nonviolent sociopolitical movements with both an insider mediation lens (which roles and approaches are mediative in nature and have direct or indirect impact on any existing formal/outsider mediation processes or transition processes?) and a gender lens (how are different mediative gender roles shaped and how might they differ?); (2) creating space for a small group of key movement actors – women and men – across contexts to share their experiences, approaches, tactics and strategies, and to network and give peer support; (3) offering needs-based capacity development support to these movement actors in conflict transformation approaches and methods, such as dialogue, negotiation, mediation, strategic networking and leadership, etc. to strengthen their insider mediation roles in multiple tracks; (4) creating space for engaging these movement actors, mediation actors and WPS actors for joint development of potential strategic collaboration modalities of gender-inclusive (insider) mediation approaches in contexts of movements; (5) creating space for on-site dialogue support (in selected contexts of these movement actors) among actors who are crucial to preserving the nonviolent and dialogic nature of transition processes, in order for them to sustain peaceful transition. This will be achieved through a baseline study, establishing a peer network, and offering dialogue support to women insider mediators.

The objective of this project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the deployment of renewable energy and grid modernization technologies.
