Project Objective:
To enable the NTT province to strengthen climate resilience of its rural Communities to
improve livelihood, food, and water security
Outcome 1:
Institutional capacity developed to
integrate climate resilience in
sustainable development at
provincial and district level
Outputs:
•
•
•
A multistakeholder dialogue on climate change
has been established and institutionalized at
provincial and district level
Staff of government agencies, members of
parliament, media, universities and CSOs
capacitated to address climate change adaptation
The provincial government and three district
governments have integrated key policies,
programmes, and made necessary budget
allocations to priority adaptation
Outcome 2:
Livelihoods of vulnerable rural
communities strengthened in a
changing climate
Outputs:
•
•
•
•
120 communities have developed a community
based climate risk information system
40 communities have adjusted subsistence
farming practices to more variable and extreme
climatic conditions.
40 communities have become more resilient by
diversifying sources of income which are less
sensitive to climate change
In 40 communities, water resources infrastructure
and management have been improved taking into
account projected changes in rainfall patterns.
