    The project focuses on the Churia region of Nepal, a special ecological zone regulating surface water flows and recharging groundwater and facing high levels of climate-related risk. The project aims to bolster ecosystem resilience and protection from climate related threats in 26 high-risk river systems. Activities included combating deforestation and degradation, promoting climate-resilient agriculture, and investing in community level resilient infrastructure. A significant amount was achieved in infrastructure over 2024, valued by communities. Less successful are longer-term interventions in forestry and climate resilient agriculture where progress has lagged. The slow pace of delivery remains a major concern, and urgent improvements are needed in the delivery model. The evaluation made recommendations to optimize each partner’s role and budget to allow for greater efficiencies and delivery improvements; update plans accordingly; address persistent staffing and expertise gaps; strengthen systems for monitoring and accountability; and build stronger collaborative partnerships for further climate resilience initiatives.

    The number of young people in the Sahel is unprecedented, with over 60 percent of the population below 25 years of age. Two thirds of them live in rural areas, often lacking access to employment, skills, financial services, inputs and technology (World Bank, 2018). Although the region’s youth population is expected to grow, and a youth bulge could potentially turn into a dividend, if employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for youth remain limited, young people will continue to remain in a vicious cycle of food insecurity and deep poverty. This brief outlines how the project "Building resilience in the Sahel region through job creation for youth", strengthened the capacities of rural youth in their entrance in the agrifood system adopting green practices, while also empowering the national institutions tasked in supporting them.
