The project objective was to strengthen institutional capacity of targeted institutions to manage the risk of flooding and land degradation in targeted rural and urban areas. The Government of Togo aimed to achieve objective through 1) community-based activities in watershed and flood-prone areas; 2) community-based activities in cropland and grazing lands; 3) community-based sustainable forest and wetland management; as well as 4) early warning, monitoring and knowledge systems and 5) institutional strengthening and awareness raising.

The World Bank is supporting the Government of Burkina Faso to increase climate resilience and further improve community-based natural resource management in rural communes.

The Government of India and the Rural Works Department of the State of Bihar are implementing the Bihar Rural Roads Project aiming at improving rural road connectivity in project districts, and enhancing management of rural roads in Bihar. The project combines both investment and knowledge support for the improvement of about 2,500 km of rural roads in Bihar and the management capacity of the Rural Works Department. It will use bio-engineering and other green interventions to make roads resilient to climate change and act as carbon sinks.

The project worked to fund community-led development projects, and build capacity for improved land management practices.
