Climate change-induced soil and water salinity are projected to adversely impact freshwater dependent agricultural livelihoods leading to loss of productivity or livelihoods as well as the availability and quality of drinking water in vulnerable coastal communities. Therefore, the key objective of the project has been to support the Government of Bangladesh GoB in strengthening the adaptive capacities of coastal communities, especially women, to cope with the impacts of climate change-induced salinity on their livelihoods and water security.
An estimated , people will be benefitted from the project interventions. The project is expected to enable those communities to address climate change risks on livelihood and drinking water security to promote synergistic co-benefits. GCF resources are invested in promoting a diversification from currently non-adaptive, freshwater-reliant livelihoods of small-scale farmers, fishers, and agro-labourers towards climate-resilient agricultural livelihoods.
GoB co-financing is leveraged to support the adoption and scale of these alternative, climate-resilient agricultural livelihoods through strengthened value chains and market linkages for their long-term viability in the face of increasing salinity and extreme weather. Finally, through investments in institutional capacities, knowledge dissemination, and evidence-based learning, the project is enabling pathways for replication and scale of project impact to secure livelihoods and drinking water across the vulnerable districts of the southwest coast of Bangladesh.
