CO-506609 As part of the implementation of the activities of the Community Capacity Building for Climate Change Resilience project (PRCCRCC),in the provinces of Bujumbura Rural, Bubanza and Cibitoke, 18 watch committees have been set up. to environmental governance on the18 intervention hills of the project. These committees are composed of 20 people with 50% men and 50% women.
Thus, like the early Arlette committees, observed in some localities of the country, the environmental governance watch committees, strongly need a visibility kit to raise awareness among communities on resilience to the effects of change. climate.
This kit is composed of: Ankle boots,raincoats, ti shirts, kepis .... This will contribute to the achievement of project objectives and results.
Indeed, the three partner organizations have already indirectly integrated the theme of climate change into the different actions implemented in the food security sector. Indeed, ADISCO, Inades-Formation Burundi and OAP, are all actively involved in the promotion of a "Family Farming" in Burundi, which "concept" is based in particular on the integration of good agricultural, zootechnical / pastoral practices. and silvicultural. This agricultural model is sustainable, especially from an ecological point of view. Therefore, it also incorporates awareness raising measures and specific actions for the protection of the environment and natural resources, such as Water and Soil. When budgeting project activities, the visibility aspect of kit requirementsby environmental governance watch committees was not taken into account.
1. Intended beneficiaries
1.1. Direct beneficiaries
Once the pilot hills have been identified, the partner organizations will ensure that the project is presented to the entire target community of each hill through Hill Assemblies. On these occasions, it is planned in particular to define progressively and in a participatory manner the profile of the individuals best suited to carry out research-action activities according to thethemes selected; and to be potential members of local committees for monitoringenvironmental governance and adaptation to climate change. Those interested in the project and meeting the agreed profiles may volunteer to participate.
The project plans towork with 4,500 individuals who will directly benefit from the results of the activities implemented. The latter will be distributed in the 9 target communes, ie an average of 500 people per commune, or 250 people per pilot hill (50% men and 50% women).
1.2. Indirect Beneficiaries
The indirect beneficiaries of this project are, on the one hand, the households and inhabitants of the hills and communes in which the project activities will be located, ie 135,000 households, on the basis of 15,000 households per target commune on average. They will benefit from the direct benefits implemented by stakeholders as a community response to climate change (seedlings of fruit and forest species, mass awareness, etc.).

Finally, as long as the dynamismof the project requires it, high-level advocacy, especially on legislation, can be organized by specifically targeting the concerned members at the level of the representatives of the people and the central structures of the ministries.
2. Overall objective (impact):
Residents of Bujumbura Rural, Bubanza and Cibitoke provinces are aware of the impacts of climate change on their environment and their daily lives and are able to increase their resilience to climate change.
3. The results
Outcome 1: Local communities are aware of the effects of CC on their daily lives and their environment
Result 2: Rural people in Burundi identify and apply good climatechange adaptation practices and technologies that aim to increase their resilience.
Result 3: Local committees for monitoring environmental governance and adaptation to climate change exist on each hill and raise awareness and share practices adapted to CC in thecommunes.
Outcome 4: Local committees are able to advocate and advocate community interests with local government and local decision-makers, especially regarding the consideration of PCIA interests
Result 5: Local communities and municipal administrative authorities take specific environmental protection texts into their own hands

     The present kit support will contribute to the achievement of the 3 and 4 of the project.
