United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) has mandated an independent mid-term review of the project funded by the Global Environment Fund (GEF), titled “Adapting coastal zone management to climate change considering ecosystem and livelihoods in Madagascar”. This is a five-year project launched in November 2014, with the overall objective of reducing the vulnerability of coastal areas to climate change through strengthened institutional capacity, concrete adaptation interventions, and the integration of climate change adaptation into policy and planning.
