This project aims to reduce poverty and improve food security for vulnerable communities in arid and semi-arid regions of Iraq, particularly in the governorates of Anbar, Najaf, Nineveh, Muthanna, and Sulaymaniyah, through sustainable land and resource management. Project activities include: 1) planting trees to restore ecosystems; 2) fixing sand dunes to prevent soil degradation; 3) introducing climate-smart agricultural practices; 4) training local actors in sustainable land management; 5) creating market access opportunities to strengthen the economic stability of smallholder farmers. The project directly targets 7,000 beneficiaries through improved agricultural practices, market access, and sustainable livelihoods. It also indirectly benefits 42,000 family and community members by strengthening community resilience to climate change and promoting sustainable livelihoods.
