The Ecosystem - based Adaptation (EbA) project, is the first to be approved in ecosystem restoration and is a project of the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT), implemented by the Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia (EIF) through a Project Management Unit (PMU), and is spearheaded by a multi-stakeholder Project Steering Committee (PSC).

The workshops highlighted the Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia’s (EIF) and Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism’s (MEFT) commitment towards addressing the issues of climate change.

The EbA project aims to increase climate change resilience of productive landscapes in Namibia through implementation of Ecosystem-based Adaption actions that strengthen social and ecological systems to sustain livelihoods at local levels and facilitate value chains of natural resources. The project’ action responds to declarations and processes of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that promotes investing in low emission and climate-resilient development that have high impact on local development and community livelihoods while increasing conservation of the ecosystem.
