Outcome 1

Government institutions at the central and local levels benefit from improved early warning, disaster risk management and climate change adaptation approaches and systems that strengthen the national shock-responsive social protection system.

Outcome 2

Targeted groups and communities benefit from rehabilitated and newly constructed assets and improved knowledge that help them protect, improve and adapt their livelihoods to climate variability and enhance nutritional practices.

Outcome 3

Targeted groups benefit from conditional transfers (including micro-insurance) to meet their food and nutrition needs and enable them to be financially resilient when affected by stressors and shocks.

Expected results:  

1. National and local authorities benefit from improved understanding of climate risks, vulnerabilities and adaptation options and apply enhanced tools and methods for risks and vulnerabilities identification and monitoring;
2. Rural communities benefit from science-driven, evidence-based, gender and nutrition-sensitive adaptation planning and measures supported by Government, private sector and donors’ investments and advocacy;
3. Rural communities are better prepared for disasters and have a feedback-loop mechanism for undertaking ‘Build-back-better’ activities for minimum disturbance to their livelihoods in case of an emergency;
4. Rural communities have access to insurance to compensate losses suffered due to relevant climate risks.

Results from previous phases:  

1. The national authorities, including Ministry of Emergency improved their capacities in defining and ranging risks and vulnerabilities, along with building the approaches on differentiated vulnerabilities and exposure. They were also equipped and trained in using technology-based WFP-developed tools, which provide access to and utilization of key information on hazards, exposure, and vulnerability.
2. As a result of the Swiss support in Phase 1 (2022), around 50’000 highly vulnerable households in 90 targeted rural Local Self-Governments (LSGs) (out of total 453 in the country) have benefitted from more than 300 disaster risk reduction (DRR) infrastructure assets and from the WFP tools such as Food-For-Asset (FFA) and Food-For-Training (FFT), Cash-Based-Transfers (CBT) and Non-Food-Items (NFI).
3. 11 LSGs were supported in identifying prevention, mitigation and recovery approaches within the local level development plans.
