Improved Resilience of Coastal Communities in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana

The ultimate goal of the project is to improve adaptation of small-to-medium coastal settlements in West Africa by reducing climate change impact and establishing resilient economies and communities. The goal is pursued through an adaptation pathway designed to increase resilience and decrease both exposure and vulnerability. Based on the hazards and impacts analysis presented in the previous sections, three different but complementary domains need to be tackled: i) spatial planning, ii) concrete interventions, and iii) coordination and governance. Within each domain, actions involve different geographical scales.
