Titre : Egypt Oasis Project : Climate Change Adaptation to Improve livelihoods in Siwa Oasis (CCAILSO)

Country : Egypt

Date : 2023
Durée : 4 years

Présentation
The project will leverage on the trust and capacities that the local communities and stakeholders, supported by the local and national authorities, have managed to build over time to introduce new adaptation interventions. This will widen the scope of resilience and contribute to strengthen adaptive capacities within the oasis. The project will generate knowledge, document lessons learnt and best practices on climate resilience building and enhancing food security of the most vulnerable communities to climate change threats. This will be further shared and adversely used to inform policy and serve as baselines for future similar /related interventions in the Siwa area.
The main actions to be deployed in the sites will eventually lead to a significant reduction of the impacts related to major climate hazards in the Siwa Oasis (particularly the Water and food security), to the improvement of the livelihoods and living conditions of the communities as well as to revitalize the ecosystem. For a better efficiency/effectiveness, CCAILSO project will be implemented following a participatory and inclusive community and inter-institutional approach which will integrate the knowledge management and set forth the appropriate channels to enable an active participation of all key stakeholders, including the project’s beneficiaries during the entire cycle of implementation. _ The project is thus organized around three components where the planned activities as well as the expected outputs and outcomes to achieve the project objectives are in line with the Adaptation Fund’s strategic outcomes. Further below, are the detailed description of the components, outcomes, outputs and activities.
