Gender-transformative conservation of the Lake Chad Basin
Gender-Transformative Wetlands Conservation in Lake Chad Basin by Alinea The project seeks to improve the climate resilience of marginalized communities, particularly women and youth, and ecosystems that are structurally vulnerable to climate change, through nature-based climate solutions in six Lake Chad Basin protected areas registered under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger. The project directly supports 315,000 people (75% women) through improved resilient agriculture practices and communitarian conflict resolution processes. Two million people will benefit from new or improved ecosystem services by restoring 10,000 hectares of wetlands. Also, 2.7 million people displaced due to conflict (60% children and 25% women) will indirectly benefit as the project contributes to regional stabilization strategies, including peaceful conflict resolution and communitarian processes. https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/p011862001
