Objectives: The objective of the Global Environment Facility Project Preparation Grant (GEF PPG) is to develop the project concept into a full project titled 'Strengthening Climate Adaptation, and Biodiversity Conservation, and Combating Land Degradation through Ecosystem-based Adaptation in Samoa.' This project aims to enhance the climate resilience of Samoa’s ecosystems and communities by integrating Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) solutions into watershed management. Key strategies include enhancing national EbA capacity, implementing effective EbA measures, establishing a knowledge management framework, and creating a robust Monitoring and Evaluation system. The project seeks to establish a replicable EbA model across Samoa, contributing to national adaptation and conservation goals.
