The Adaptation Fund was established to finance concrete adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries that are parties to the Kyoto Protocol and are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.

Titre : Building Resilience in the Old Lands by Combining Innovations in Irrigation, Agriculture, and Livelihood Activities (Egypt)

Country : Egypt

Date : 2022
Durée : 4 years

Objectifs
The overall objective of the Project titled “Building Resilience in the Old Lands by Combining Innovations in Irrigation, Agriculture, and Livelihood Activities” is adaptation to climate-induced water scarcity by combining social, process and technology innovations in irrigation, agriculture, and livelihoods at a functional scale. The Project objective is achieved through three components in a 4-year implementation period.

1. Adapting to climate-induced water scarcity through innovations in configuration and management of irrigation system. The Component 1 outputs and outcomes contribute directly to the following AF result areas : AF Outcome 1 : Reduced exposure to climate-related hazards and threats - AF Output 1.2 : Targeted population groups covered by adequate risk reduction systems ; AF Outcome 4 : Increased adaptive capacity within relevant development sector services and infrastructure assets – AF Output 4 : Vulnerable development sector services and infrastructure assets strengthened in response to climate change impacts, including variability ; AF Outcome 8 : Support the development and diffusion of innovative adaptation practices, tools, and technologies – AF Output 8 : Viable innovations are rolled out, scaled up, encouraged and/or accelerated.

2. Enhancing agricultural productivity, livelihoods, and adaptation capacity of the most vulnerable through social innovation, in combination with climate-resilient agricultural practices and a sustainable value chain. The Component-2 outputs and outcomes contribute directly to the following AF result areas : AF Outcome 1 : Reduced exposure to climate-related hazards and threats – AF Output 1.2 : Targeted population groups covered by adequate risk reduction systems ; AF Outcome 4 : Increased adaptive capacity within relevant development sector services and infrastructure assets – AF Output 4 : Vulnerable development sector services and infrastructure assets strengthened in response to climate change impacts, including variability ; AF Outcome 5 : Increased ecosystem resilience in response to climate change and variability-induced stress –AF Output 5 : Vulnerable ecosystem services and natural resource assets strengthened in response to climate change impacts ; AF Outcome 6 : Diversified and strengthened livelihoods and sources of income for vulnerable people in targeted areas – AF Output 6 : Targeted individual and community livelihood strategies strengthened in relation to climate change impacts, including variability, by contributing to food security through optimization of agricultural production ; AF Outcome 8 : Support the development and diffusion of innovative adaptation practices, tools, and technologies – AF Output 8 : Viable innovations are rolled out, scaled up, encouraged and/or accelerated

3. Project-level and national-level diffusion and scale-out of innovative suites-of-adaptation measures through preparation of national-level strategies and capacity development of decision-makers. The Component-3 outputs and outcome contribute directly to the following AF result areas : AF Outcome 2 : Strengthened institutional capacity to reduce risks associated with climate induced socioeconomic and environmental losses – AF Output 2.1 : Strengthened capacity of national and sub-national centres and networks to respond rapidly to extreme weather events ; AF Outcome 3 : Strengthened awareness and ownership of adaptation and climate risk reduction processes at local level – AF Output 3.1 : Targeted population groups participating in adaptation and risk reduction awareness activities – AF Output 3.2 : Strengthened capacity of national and subnational stakeholders and entities to capture and disseminate knowledge and learning ; AF Outcome 4 : Increased adaptive capacity within relevant development sector services and infrastructure assets – AF Output 4 : Vulnerable development sector services and infrastructure assets strengthened in response to climate change impacts, including variability ; AF Outcome 8 : Support the development and diffusion of innovative adaptation prac
