Western and Central Africa (Guinea Bissau and Ghana)

The regional operation improves regional collaboration and the socioeconomic and climate resilience of border-zone communities in the northern regions of Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo. It finances community‑driven, climate‑screened local infrastructure and services (e.g., water points/small systems, schools, health posts, rural markets, local roads/footpaths, youth facilities), supports livelihoods and local economic development, trains community and technical facilitators, and establishes a Regional Coordination Platform with joint studies and digital data-sharing.

This project aims to enhance climate resilience in the coastal areas of Western Africa by targeting regional coordination, policy frameworks, and site-specific physical and social investments. It focuses on regional integration by harmonizing coastal governance policies and strengthening institutional collaboration to address resilience challenges. At the national level, the project supports operationalizing integrated coastal zone management plans and land-use strategies for effective management of transboundary ecosystems.
