Project to support the World Bank's Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program for the Aral Sea Basin (CAMP4ASB), in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan: FP014
Project Outline
This project seeks to scale up the first phase of the World Bank Group (WBG)-supported Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program for the Aral Sea Basin (CAMP4ASB), in which knowledge and the capacity base for climate action of Central Asian stakeholders are strengthened via improved climate assessment/decision making tools and facilitated regional dialogues; and to increase productivity and address climate change by promoting the adoption of rural production, land management, and other climate-resilient and mitigation investments, by providing grant financing at the village, community, and resource-user levels.
