The UN Environment Programme and the government of Gambia have launched the country’s largest adaptation project, which aims to develop a sustainable natural resource-based economy. • The main approaches of the project are to restore degraded forests and farmland; establish ecologically sustainable businesses; develop ‘home-gardens’ to diversify food and income sources; and integrate adaptation actions into four sectoral policies
The development of the GAN involved a broad UNEP-facilitated consultative process, including an international consultation meeting and four regional consultations.
