Dominica is a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), highly vulnerable to extreme hydrometeorological events (hurricanes, storms, droughts) with significant negative socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The country’s rural communities, heavily dependent on rainfed agriculture, face increasing risks from climate change, which threaten livelihoods, food security, and infrastructure, and have resulted in catastrophic losses.

This project aims to build resilience to climate variability and change in Dominica’s vulnerable communities by implementing responsive adaptation measures. Specifically, the project will support the adoption of climate-resilient agricultural techniques and technologies, retrofit critical disaster management infrastructure, and strengthen Early Warning Systems (EWS). These will be complemented by enhancing public awareness and training for farmers and other key stakeholders and developing a climate-resilient knowledge hub that will facilitate the generation of improved projects in the future.

The approach is highly inclusive, with a strong focus on gender and social equity: at least 40 per cent of farmers and 35 per cent of agro-processors are expected to be women, and the project actively addresses barriers faced by women, youth, and marginalised groups. 

This project is fully aligned with Dominica’s national climate strategies, including the National Resilience Development Strategy, the Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
