Intervention areas
Restoration and protection activities will take place within the Togbin-Adounko and Vodounto Community Biodiversity Conservation Areas (CBCAs). In order to limit human pressures, community orchards and forests for sustainable harvesting will be set up around the intervention areas.
Combating climate change
The aim of this project is to strengthen the resilience and adaptation capacities of ACCB residents in the face of climatic hazards.
Conserving and sustainably exploiting the oceans, seas and marine resources
The aim is to sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems in order to avoid the serious consequences of their degradation.
Preserving and restoring terrestrial ecosystems
We are targeting the sustainable management of all types of forest with a view to significantly increasing afforestation and reforestation worldwide.
Eradicate poverty in all its forms
Indirectly, we enable vulnerable people to access their rights to economic resources, to the products of their land ownership and to natural resources.
Ensuring food security and promoting sustainable agriculture
The establishment of community orchards also contributes, to a lesser extent, to the food self-sufficiency of project beneficiaries.
