Grants and Contributions

The project is a 3.5-year initiative that strengthens climate and disaster resilience in the remote provinces of Torba (Vanuatu) and Temotu (Solomon Islands). Implemented through Indigenous-led, gender-responsive, and ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) approaches, it responds to escalating climate hazards and the limited reach of centralized disaster systems in outer-island contexts. Working with Indigenous communities, local organizations, and provincial and national authorities, BRED supports the protection and restoration of coastal ecosystems, advances marine protected areas, and revitalizes traditional stewardship practices. The project also promotes climate-resilient livelihoods particularly for Indigenous women, through regenerative blue-economy, agri-food, and renewable-energy value chains that strengthen food, water, and energy security while reducing pressure on fragile ecosystems.

The project aims to improve the economic well-being of marginalized women and youth in southern Jordan by promoting green jobs, self-employment, and entrepreneurship in climate-resilient agribusiness.

It also tackles social norms, engages communities, and builds institutional capacity to create more opportunities, contributing to a resilient, inclusive agrifood sector aligned with Jordanian national priorities in one of the country’s most climate-stressed regions.

This project aims to improve sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) outcomes for marginalized or vulnerable women and girls (W&G) in six districts of Central Sulawesi and Papua, in partnership with the Indonesian authorities, the women's organization Aisyiyah and the Indonesian Family Planning Association (PKBI). The expected results of the project include: (1) improved delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care in facilities and communities for W&G; (2) increased utilization of quality health care, particularly SRH by W&G, including those who are marginalized or vulnerable. These results will be achieved through key project activities: (a) gender-sensitive training of healthcare providers at the puskesmas (health center) level, including on SRHR issues, emergency obstetric and neonatal care, family planning, post-abortion care, female genital care, gender-based violence and nutrition for mothers and girls; (b) creating or rehabilitating infrastructure, e.g. equipping selected puskesmas and creating mobile and satellite clinics for hard-to-reach communities ; (c) capacity-building and support for F&F, including those who are marginalized or vulnerable, in SRHR; (d) gender-sensitive training of community leaders on gender issues, for example by organizing community forums aimed at better dialogue between F&F and local power-holders, or by training religious and traditional leaders; (e) raising awareness of gender issues among boys, men and parents. The project will directly affect 420,000 people, and indirectly all 1.7 million people in the six districts.

The Sustainable Energy and Economic Development in Jordan project (SEED II) aims to improve the livelihoods of women, youth, and marginalized groups in poor communities of the Jordan Valley region through renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. It seeks to increase the employability of women and youth in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector through vocational training, work placements, and internships. It also seeks to foster climate-smart innovation in agriculture through incubators for entrepreneurs, reduce energy bills for public institutions through renewable energy installations, empower women to participate in decision-making related to renewable energy and benefit from economic opportunities. The Project builds on the achievements of the first phase (SEED I, 2016-2023; 24.6M), replicating successful interventions in new implementation sites across the Jordan Valley and incorporating lessons learned and best practices.

This project aims to help realize the potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). It does so by creating safer and more equitable trading conditions for 300,000 small scale cross-border women traders, who are disproportionally affected by discrimination, harassment, and corrupt practices at border crossings. The project supports trade associations and ministries of trade in targeted countries on new border processes and procedures along the Beira trade corridor, which runs from the southern Democratic Republic of Congo to the port of Beira in Mozambique.
