Progress towards the goals | As per April 2016, financial support amounting to US$ 285 million has allowed for integrating the following targets into the logical framework of 35 ASAP-supported investment programmes (+ 7 projects since COP21) to build climate resilience of poor smallholders:
• 6 million household members whose climate resilience has been increased (+ 500,000 beneficiaries since COP21) • 1.7 million hectares of land (+150,000 ha since COP21) and 15 watersheds managed under climate resilient practices • 99 thousand households and 2.6 thousand production and processing facilities with increased water availability (+ 27 facilities since COP21) • 600 thousand individuals (+ 20,000 individuals since COP21) and 9 thousand community groups engaged in climate risk management, ENRM or DRR activities • US$ 54 million worth of new or existing rural infrastructure and 827 kilometres of rural roads made climate resilient (+202 km since COP21) • 51 dialogues international and country dialogues on climate issues where ASAP supported projects or project partners make an active contribution (+ 2 dialogues since COP21) Since January 2016, IFAD 10th cycle is on-going and aims to achieve 100% climate resilience of its annual investments by 2018. |
