This innovative project, funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, aimed to strengthen capacities in risk-based watershed management while promoting sustainable agricultural value chains to improve local livelihoods.
Implemented in Peru and the Philippines, the project generated lessons learned to support climate adaptation in other mountain regions.
Key facts
The project enhanced institutional and community capacities in risk-based watershed management and ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR). It supported livelihoods through sustainable practices, including maguey honey production, improved livestock grazing, resilient coffee value chains, and eco-agritourism initiatives. These actions helped diversify income, reduce vulnerability and improve the long-term resilience of mountain communities.
