    Over the past decade, the country of Haiti located in the Caribbean has been subjected to numerous natural disasters, including Hurricanes Isaac and Sandy in 2010. Implemented by FAO and funded by the LDF, the agricultural and livelihoods resilience project “Strengthening Climate Change Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction in Agriculture to Improve Food Security in Haiti After the Earthquake” sought to restore livelihoods, introduce climate-smart agriculture techniques and rehabilitate damaged land and livelihoods. The final evaluation found solid gains made in the area of climate change adaptation, as the project took important steps to link emergency relief efforts. The project led to sustainable outcomes for increased resilience in terms of agricultural productivity, and incomes were increased due to improved production techniques. The project did not however have a sufficient exit strategy, and more work is needed to ensure the financial sustainability necessary to achieve long-term impact.

    The Western Balkans region is prone to natural hazards, such as floods,landslides, droughts and forest fires, as a result of its geological structure,climatic and topographic characteristics. The agriculture sector is negativelyimpacted by these hazards, with damage caused to agriculturalinfrastructure and equipment and losses in crops, livestock, forestry andfisheries. Agricultural sector actors had only limited knowledge, awarenessand capacities to prevent, reduce and prepare for the adverse impacts ofnatural hazards in the short and long term. In this context, the project wasdesigned to strengthen institutional mechanisms with improved technicalcapacities, tools and methods in the Ministries of Agriculture and amongrelated stakeholders in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the formerYugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
