| dc.description | Djibouti is a small country on the Horn of Africa with a population of around 950,000. This project is increasing the resilience of the Djiboutian society and economy to the impacts of climate change, such as droughts, flash floods, desertification and sea-level rise. The main approaches of the project are to: build infrastructure to protect communities from flash floods and droughts; use Ecosystem-based Adaptation to protect crops from drought and wind erosion; train communities to adopt climate-resilient livelihoods; and improve institutional capacity for adaptation. The project is building on a previous UNEP-supported project in Djibouti that ran from 2010-2016. | en |
