Activity under preparation Regional Responses to Climate Displacement (RE2CLID) Climate change has already had a profound impact on many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, jeopardizing ecosystems, the economy and overall well-being. The next decades will be marked by increasingly severe and frequent climate change related extreme weather events, which pose complex challenges to sustainable development by aggravating environmental degradation, exacerbating conflict, and triggering displacement.In this context, the overall objective of the program is to strengthen the resilience and self-reliance of Displacement-Affected Communities (DACs) living in areas at risk of either disaster or other adverse effects of climate change, environmental degradation, and correlated stressors. This Action defines DACs as both the forcibly displaced populations (refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs, returnees) and host communities. The Action¿s approach is to design area-based interventions targeting the identified DACs as a whole group of beneficiaries, including people who live in areas at risk of future climate-related displacement. To achieve this, program implementation focusses in its interventions on averting displacement, minimizing displacement impacts, and resolving existing displacement situations. Three specific objectives have been formulated:1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strengthened disaster forecasts and management systems to better prevent, minimize and resolve displacement at the local, national, and regional levels;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Improved natural resources governance and management benefitting Displacement-Affected Communities (DACs) and communities at risk of future displacement;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Enhanced resilience and self-reliance of DACs in environmentally fragile areas&nbsp;Based on a tailored and area-based approach, the program addresses different crisis scenarios, ranging from environmentally fragile environments affected by ongoing forced displacement or areas at high risk of displacement due to climate change or natural hazards. To build longer term resilience at the regional, national, local, and community level, the Action will be implemented in two geographic regions, which are under pressure due to the complex interplay of climate change, environmental degradation, conflict, and forced displacement. These include the Lake Tanganyika basin areas spanning across the border areas of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Burundi, and Tanzania, and the Southern Africa/South-West Indian Ocean tropical cyclone basin countries, namely Malawi, Madagascar, Mozambique and African Indian Ocean countries. Following the identification of hotspot areas in these two regions, the intervention will address the longer-term adaptive needs of communities to allow them to access locally owned, sustainable, inclusive, and conflict-sensitive climate resilient solutions vis-a-vis climate related displacement. The program will address the needs of the most vulnerable, including women, girls, the elderly and disabled.
