The CBD National Targets Submitted by Benin

<p>The project “Building resilience to climate change of the neighbouring populations of the classified forests of Bassila and Penessoulou in the Central region of Benin” aims to build the capacity of the most vulnerable small farmers and enhance the local governance in the classified forests areas of Bassila and Penessoulou to adapt with CC. The project proposes concrete solutions tailored to the various actors and groups concerned (producers,beekeepers, processors, etc.).For example, in response to the projected increase in rainfall combined with the irregularity of rainfall andthe increase in temperature, it is proposed that rainwater be stored and that water and soil conservationtechniques be used to cope with pockets of drought. In doing so, the specific objectives of the project areworded as follows:1) building the capacity of the most vulnerable small farmers on good practices for adaptation to CC;2) developing value-added chains (VACs) in promising sectors in order to diversify the sources ofincome of the most vulnerable communities,3) reinforcing the local governance and management framework for adaptation to CC.</p>

To build the climate resilience of fisheries resources by implementing adaptive strategies and bolstering institutional capacities, with a strong focus on local community and woman’s empowerment, climate smart technologies and infrastructure, knowledge transfer, and policy reform.
