ProjectProgramme / project reportEnhance climate resilience of vulnerable agriculture households in Southern Iraq through the promotion of climate smart water management and good agriculture practices in selected value chains.
Stakeholder Engagement Plan
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO projects in Southern Iraq, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), aim to improve water productivity, food security, and climate resilience for rural households. The GAC project ($7.3 million) focuses on empowering women through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and installing solar panels to enhance irrigation. The SIDA project ($10.2 million) promotes CSA, post-harvest improvements, and policy dialogue on water efficiency. Both initiatives align with the Green Climate Fund’s efforts to strengthen climate resilience in Iraq's agricultural sector. -
ProjectFactsheetFormulation and Review of Fully-Fledged Project Document for "Strengthening Climate Resilience of Vulnerable Agriculture Livelihoods in Iraq's Rural Communities" Project - TCP/IRQ/3803 2024

No results found.Iraq has experienced significant and interconnected political, economic, environmental and security challenges over the past few years, and the effects of climate change are exacerbating the situation. Increased temperatures, outdated irrigation infrastructures, droughts, energy shortage, the lack of skills of both farmers and extension officers and an incomplete policy and strategic framework were the main constraints to climate change adaptation in Iraq, especially, in the farming communities of the central and southern plains. In addition, given that about 25 percent of the target areas’ population is employed in agriculture and produce around 40 percent of the country’s rice, working to stabilize the water supply would contribute to ensure food security and social stability in the country. This project aimed to support Iraq national institutions to develop a full Green Climate Fund (GCF) project to enhance climate resilience of rural livelihoods through climate-adaptive technologies and good farming practices that will stabilize water availability in the governorates of Karbala, Muthanna and Najaf. Through its main output, the drafting of a full funding proposal (FFP), the project aimed to mobilize significant financial resources that will improve the most vulnerable population livelihoods (around 650 000 individuals, among which 321 000 are women). The drafting of the GCF sought to closely engage government entities, researchers and agricultural extension officers, and looked to reach at least 1.9 million farmers to foster their cropping systems under improved institutional arrangements and climate-smart agriculture methodologies and use of land. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportUpscaling Ecosystem-Based Climate Resilience of Vulnerable Rural Communities in the Macroregion Valles of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (RECEM-Valles)
Environmental and Social Management Plan
2025Also available in:
No results found.The project “Upscaling Ecosystem-Based Climate Resilience of Vulnerable Rural Communities in the Macroregion Valles of the Plurinational State of Bolivia” (RECEM-Valles) is the first climate change adaptation initiative in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). It aims to strengthen the resilience of rural livelihoods and ecosystems in the Macroregion Valles, a region increasingly affected by extreme climate events and long-term climate change. The project adopts an integrated, ecosystem-based approach to climate adaptation, focusing on the restoration and preservation of critical ecosystem functions, particularly water regulation, revitalization of traditional irrigation systems, and enhancement of institutional capacities.
