Its overall goal is to promote a paradigm shift in dryland pastoral and farming systems through an integrated approach by increasing resilience of food production systems; improving availability/access to climate resilient water sources; and strengthening capacities of institutions/communities on climate resilience. The project capitalizes on synergies in climate risk management practices across agriculture, water, and rangelands to enhance water/food security under changing climate conditions. Key results are enhanced resilience to climate risks among subsistence farmer and nomadic pastoralist communities and promoting an enabling environment for long-term (post-project) adaptation activities in Sudan. Moreover, the enhanced capacity of the state-level administration in areas of environmental governance, management of shared natural resources, inter- and intra-state relations and how to establish a network of early warning systems will help prevent conflicts and out-mitigation in the targeted areas.",https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/fp139-undp-sudan_0.pdf

Output 1 focuses on the installation of 69 km of sand dune dikes along five (5) vulnerable hotspots within the Nile Delta that were identified during an engineering scoping assessment and technical feasibility study. This output will provide a “beneficial reuse” for existing maintenance dredged material from a number of local sources that are operating under existing Government of Egypt approvals. Output 2 focuses on the development of an integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) plan for the entire North Coast, to manage long-term climate change risks and provide Egypt with adaptability to impending flood risks.",https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-fp053-undp-egypt.pdf

Agricultural inefficiencies lead to the overuse of water and high evaporation. This project creates a closed cycle of reusing treated wastewater for irrigated agriculture. This multiplier effect will alleviate pressure on the coastal aquifer and improve the climate resilience of local populations. It will also enhance the institutional and operational capabilities for integrated water management.",FP119: Water Banking and Adaptation of Agriculture to Climate Change in Northern Gaza | Green Climate Fund
