Resumen
Descripción
The project focuses on the Churia region of Nepal, a special ecological zone regulating surface water flows and recharging groundwater and facing high levels of climate-related risk. The project aims to bolster ecosystem resilience and protection from climate related threats in 26 high-risk river systems. Activities included combating deforestation and degradation, promoting climate-resilient agriculture, and investing in community level resilient infrastructure. A significant amount was achieved in infrastructure over 2024, valued by communities. Less successful are longer-term interventions in forestry and climate resilient agriculture where progress has lagged. The slow pace of delivery remains a major concern, and urgent improvements are needed in the delivery model. The evaluation made recommendations to optimize each partner’s role and budget to allow for greater efficiencies and delivery improvements; update plans accordingly; address persistent staffing and expertise gaps; strengthen systems for monitoring and accountability; and build stronger collaborative partnerships for further climate resilience initiatives.
