Description
Description | WACA will help countries integrate infrastructure and natural resources management in order to enhance their resilience to climate change.
The program provides technical assistance to determine the factors that threaten people, ecosystems, and economic assets along the coast. It also offers multi-sectoral solutions such as land management and spatial planning, infrastructure, natural habitat management, and pollution management. |
---|---|
Objectives | (a) reduce coastal erosion hotspots by 30% by 2020 and by 70% by 2025, (b) protect 30% of the population in priority flooding areas by 2020 and 70% by 2025, (c) have a coastal information monitoring system operating in all participating countries by 2020. |
Activities | Interventions are organized into three pillars:
1. Strategic investment planning, including formulating and prioritizing key policies and sectoral investments to foster adaptation to climate change and build socioeconomic resilience 2. Knowledge, information, and capacity building, including multihazard vulnerability assessments in select urban areas, cost-benefit analyses of adaption options, and creating stronger information systems in national coastal areas 3. Country and regional engagement and resource mobilization, including analysis of stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities, political economy studies, and identifying funding and finance opportunities. The World Bank Group approved in April 2018 a package of $210 million in financing for a regional project to build the resilience of coastal communities in Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Mauritania, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal and Togo. |
