The project seeks to reduce flood risk and improve livelihoods in the Trois-Rivières (TR) watershed of Haiti. It proposes implementing 17,740 hectares of agroforestry and rehabilitating 7,700 hectares of forest to reduce peak runoff by 40%. The initiative includes establishing a social safety net via food coupons and Village Savings and Credit Associations (VSCAs) to discourage unsustainable charcoal production. Additionally, it aims to strengthen national water governance by drafting provisions for the Water Act and establishing Catchment Integrated Water Resources Management Committees. The project targets 292,600 direct and 441,272 indirect beneficiaries, with a total budget of approximately USD 31.3 million, including USD 22.4 million requested from the GCF.
