Consideration of funding proposals – Addendum Funding proposal package for FP011

The proposal seeks USD 20,546,756 in grant financing to implement Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) across 10,000 hectares in The Gambia. The project aims to restore degraded forests, savannas, and agricultural landscapes to increase the supply of climate-resilient natural resources and establish community-managed businesses. It targets 11,550 direct beneficiaries, with a focus on women, and intends to integrate EbA into national policies and local land-use planning to catalyze a paradigm shift toward a green economy.

• The project aims to restore at least 10,000 hectares of land, comprising 7,000 hectares of degraded forest, woodland, savanna, and mangrove ecosystems, and 3,000 hectares of agricultural landscapes.
• The project targets 11,550 direct beneficiaries and 46,200 indirect beneficiaries, with a commitment that at least 50% of these participants will be women.
• The total requested GCF grant is USD 20,546,756, with an additional USD 4,974,611 in co-financing provided by the Government of The Gambia through the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Water, Forests and Wildlife.
• The project intends to establish at least two community-managed natural resource-based businesses in each of 125 participating villages, focusing on activities such as beekeeping, firewood marketing, timber collection, and handicraft manufacturing.
• The project will implement a programmatic approach using four region-specific EbA prototypes (A-D) tailored to the vegetation types of the Lower River, North Bank, Central River, and Upper River Regions.
• A primary objective is to increase the technical capacity of the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Water, Forests and Wildlife (MoE) line departments, aiming to raise their EbA design and implementation score from a baseline of 2/10 to at least 6/10.
• The project will develop a national EbA upscaling strategy and an online information platform to share case studies, market analyses, and best practices to encourage further public and private investment.
