dc.descriptionMauritania is situated in North-western Africa, and approximately three-quarters of its land area is desert or semi-desert. A project is building the climate resilience of local communities in the forests and rangelands of the Sahelian Acacia Savanna ecoregion using a strategy known as ‘ecosystem-based adaptation’ (EbA), which involves the protection and restoration of ecosystems. In addition, the project is increasing the institutional and technical capacity of government sectors for adaptation activities, while guiding rural communities to adopt climate-resilient livelihoods through the sustainable management of natural resources. This project is complemented by a National Adaptation Plan project, funded by the Green Climate Fund, focusing on strengthening Mauritania’s technical and institutional capacities for adaptation planning.en
