The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) will provide technical assistance to help strengthen the resilience of two cities in Liberia, Monrovia and the suburb east of Monrovia, Paynesville, through the implementation of climate change adaptation actions, including rain gardens, which promote green infrastructure in these two urban areas.

Half-covered by the Sahara Desert and located between the arid Sahelian and north-Sudanese zones, Mali is characterized by a dry tropical climate with high variability between dry and wet periods. It is therefore estimated to be among the most vulnerable countries to climatic change.

Sudan has endured decades of conflict, including the recent war that began in April 2023, leading to widespread internal displacement and an influx of refugees from neighboring countries.

Technical Assistance to identify and prepare a system of payments for ecosystem services, in order to manage and protect their watersheds in Haiti

Background

The Dry Corridor (Corredor Seco) of Guatemala, spanning from the Pacific coast to the northern region, is characterized by prolonged periods of absence of rain, leading to consequential droughts, as well as intermittent episodes of excessive rainfall. This hydroclimatic scenario poses a significant threat to the agricultural and livestock production model in the region, with direct and indirect repercussions on nutrition, human well-being, and health.
