Accordingly, €2 million in non-refundable aid will be provided to support the province’s climate change response project through the Global Climate Partnership Fund.

The project will be carried out in 30 months in 11 communes, aiming to enhance local capacity to respond to climate change. The remaining €0.3 million comes from local corresponding budget.

The first component of the project, called “capacity”, focuses on raising public awareness on climate change response. Infrastructure facilities to cope with climate change in the targeted areas will be set up in the second component while management measures will be promoted in the third component to preserve natural resources and develop markets for organically-cultivated products, a new and sustainable sector for the region.
