Community-based Coral Restoration and Livelihood Diversification in St Lucia and in St Vincent and the Grenadines COMMUNITY-BASED CORAL RESTORATION AND LIVELIHOOD DIVERSIFICATION IN ST LUCIA AND IN ST VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES Over the past four decades, Caribbean coral reefs have degraded rapidly. This has reduced the income and lowered the food security of coastal communities in St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) that rely on the reefs for fishing and tourism. It has also increased their exposure to storm surges and coastal erosion. At the IAF, we support community-led approaches to natural resource management. Our grantee partner The Centre for Livelihoods, Ecosystems, Energy, Adaptation, and Resilience in the Caribbean (CLEAR) works with local communities in St. Lucia and SVG to establish coral reef restoration projects to support their long-term food security and climate resilience. CLEAR will train community members to grow and preserve reefs while building public awareness for marine conservation. This grant is part of the IAF's commitment to strengthen community-led disaster mitigation and resilience in the Caribbean. It advances our partnership with USAID, Building Community Resilience in the Eastern & Southern Caribbean, as well as the U.S.-Caribbean Resilience Partnership. This grant is part of the IAF's broader COVID-19 response strategy.

IMPACTO COLECTIVO DE ORGANIZACIONES COMUNITARIAS EN LOS TEMAS DE DESARROLLO DE LA MUJER Y CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO EN GUANACASTE, COSTA RICA

Families in Guanacaste, one of Costa Rica's poorest and most arid departments, often find that outside funders exclude them from co-developing initiatives or fail to coordinate funding for important investments, such as environmental resilience. At the IAF, we work to strengthen the ability of local philanthropic organizations to do effective programming, build strong lasting partnerships, and unlock additional public and private resources for long-term development. Our grantee, the community foundation Asociación Fondo de Promoción y Apoyo Social Comunitario Guanacaste, Fondo Comunitario Guanacaste (FCG), invests in locally-rooted organizations in Guanacaste and promotes collaboration among local philanthropic institutions to channel resources and technical support to community-based organizations in the Nicoya Peninsula.

El agua en nuestras manos Fortaleciendo sistemas comunitarios para la gestión integral del agua en México. EL AGUA EN NUESTRAS MANOS FORTALECIENDO SISTEMAS COMUNITARIOS PARA LA GESTIÓN INTEGRAL DEL AGUA EN MÉXICO. Many rural Mexicans do not have access to public water systems or clean water for drinking, cleaning, and growing food. To fill this gap, communities have organized non-governmental water committees that manage delivery of water to households. However, these committees often lack needed resources, as well as technical and administrative support. Our grantee partner Controla tu Gobierno (CTG) will strengthen water committees capacity to provide communities with water and improve their management ability.

WOMEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE

In rural eastern Guyana, jobs have become scarce with the collapse of the sugar industry. The frequent natural disasters that Guyana experiences further disrupt people's livelihoods and access to basic services. Women have been particularly impacted. Many stay in abusive relationships due to a lack of economic independence, particularly when they are in situations of poverty and marginalization. Our grantee Family Awareness Consciousness Togetherness (FACT) provides training and income generation opportunities to women and others in situations of vulnerability to improve their socioeconomic conditions and resilience to disasters. Having economic options helps to keep participants safe. This grant is part of the IAF's commitment to strengthen community-led disaster mitigation and resilience in the Caribbean and is advancing the U.S.-Caribbean Resilience Partnership, and is also part of the IAF's Women INvesting in Growth and Security (WINGS) initiative to empower women as business and community leaders.
