Opportunities for building resilience to CC in GEB
POTENTIAL PROJECT EXAMPLES
• Community-based tropical cyclone vulnerability reduction through ecosystem protection of mangroves, wetlands and coastal zone. Example: coastal rehabilitation, tree planting, coral reef restoration, shoreline improvement
• Community-based landslips / flooding vulnerability reduction through small hard solutions such as; strengthening water flow systems, waste management, reforestation to reduce soil erosion; improve water quality for consumption etc
Village Consultation – Group Discussion Men and Women (Vaovai Village)

Strategies and Support for Project Development
Support services for proposal development:•Consultant in 2005; 5 month-intern in 2007 (CCPS, proposals ; cheap but big turn-over)•Strategies for maximizing community-drivenness while ensuring proposal requirements and SPA eligibility
–Inception workshop and capacity building–Little understanding of CC by CBOs. Need for local experts support, and a
lot of training. –Challenge to translate local issues in CC adaptation language for
proposals.
•Capacity building strategies for grantees (understanding climate change, writing proposals, etc)
–Workshops–Site visits–Support from local experts (consultants from private sector or ministries)
