Project brief:
This component will support the implementation of activities to support community-led development with an emphasis on the most marginalised and vulnerable communities in conflict-affected and socioeconomically disadvantaged municipalities amongst regions of Far North, North, Adamawa, East, SW, and NW. This component will utilise community-based platforms to support community members to obtain inclusive access to essential social services and basic infrastructure through: (i) strengthening community capacities to identify their needs, including in relation to current and future change impacts; (ii) construction, rehabilitation, and service provision of climate-resilient community infrastructures and (iii) climate resilient construction and rehabilitation of intercommunal infrastructure that facilitates intercommunal interactions and/or benefits multiple municipalities. The National Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will conduct vulnerability assessments at the municipal level in each of the six regions. Data gathered through the assessment will be utilised to target activities at the most socioeconomically vulnerable and FCV-affected municipalities. Data from municipal level spatial vulnerability assessments will be triangulated with data on the climate risks, FCV and security environment, and accessibility of communities, and the resulting information will guide the implementation of the component. The component is expected to support around 70% of municipalities across these regions, accounting for around 132 municipalities.
