    This project, funded by the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) and implemented from October 2020 to 2023 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), aimed to reduce community conflicts related to competition for the use of land and natural resources in the North-East of Côte d’Ivoire. It addressed the drivers of conflict related to the absence of participatory and inclusive mechanisms for sustainable management and sharing of natural resources, and the absence of viable, sustainable and inclusive alternatives to informal mining and low-productivity agriculture practiced by the most vulnerable.
