Chad is ranked the most climate-vulnerable country in the world by the ND-GAIN country index, facing extreme drought, desertification, flash flooding, and increasingly erratic rainfall. These hazards pose a severe threat to agriculture and livestock, which support 88 per cent of Chadian households. Without adaptation measures, crop yields are projected to fall by 10 to25 per cent, deepening food insecurity and poverty across the country.

The project aims to support farming and agro-pastoral communities in transitioning to climate-adapted production systems and diversifying livelihoods to build resilience against climate shocks. It targets communities across four provinces: Moyen Chari, Salamat, Ouaddai, and Sila, aligning directly with Chad's 2021 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plan (NAP).

The project is structured around three components: strengthening governmental institutional capacity and knowledge management; implementing ecosystem-based adaptation for agricultural and pastoral systems; and diversifying livelihoods to reduce climate vulnerability. Key activities include establishing Farmer Field Schools and Agro-pastoral Field Schools, restoring over 101,000 hectares of land, rehabilitating 258 small-scale water infrastructures, and supporting 3,030 households with resilient livelihood packages.

The project is expected to support approximately 261,715 people in adopting climate-resilient agricultural practices, with targeted gender mainstreaming ensuring at least 50 per cent female participation. The SCALE project builds on two successful EU-funded predecessor initiatives and represents Chad's first single-country project in the GCF portfolio.

SURAGGWA’s objective is to enhance ecological and climate resilience across Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal, while substantially increasing carbon sequestration through landscape restoration.

The Sahelian countries within the Great Green Wall (GGW) region are among the poorest and most vulnerable to climate change. Their economies largely depend on agriculture, livestock, and forestry, with over 70 per cent of rural communities reliant on rainfed agriculture. Climate change further exacerbates ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and the vulnerability of agro-silvopastoral landscapes, threatening food security and the sustainability of local livelihoods.

The programme will restore degraded agro-silvo-pastoral landscapes to build climate resilience and mitigation capacities, develop climate-resilient, low-emission Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) value chains to enhance market access and financial inclusion for vulnerable communities, and strengthen GGW institutions to improve coordination, monitoring, resource mobilisation, and knowledge management

The programme supports the African Union-led Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative by enhancing ecological and climate resilience. It contributes to the GGW goals of restoring 100 million hectares of degraded land, creating 10 million new jobs and sequestering 250 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030 through large-scale land restoration efforts.

To increase resilience and strengthen livelihoods of targeted communities in the Sahel through the adoption of climate-smart landscape restoration practices.

<p>The project objective is to increase the resilience of the population in the Lake Chad Basin by enhancing the countries capability to manage and adapt to climate-related risks through improvement of hydrological monitoring, data systems and service delivery and awareness on climate-related hazards. the specific outputs of the project are mainly aimed at (i) building an effective water information system, (ii) improving meteorological and hydrological products and services, (iii) training and informing vulnerable communities on emerging risks, (iv) strengthening the technical and institutional capacities of the national services involved in the project activities (v) dissemination and facilitation of access to relevant products, services and tools for water resources management, and their use for the protection of human lives, livelihoods and the environment from water-related hazards, and (vi) strengthening of regional and global cooperation through improved knowledge management on Lake Chad and its tributaries in order to provide appropriate climatic and hydrometeorological services.</p>
