Social: Based on a series of orientation workshops, meetings and trainings, EbA has been integrated into provincial planning process and helped to promote EbA issues into different discussions and sector plans. The capacity building work has provided basic knowledge on climate change and (ecosystem-based) adaptation and ensured their sustained integration into provincial planning processes. Training courses have been conducted to enhance knowledge as well as a methodology on integrating EbA approach into development planning for partners’ staff at both levels and a number of training service providers so that they are able to design and provide relevant EbA trainings for relevant stakeholders. Adaptation: The understanding of local authorities and communities on climate change impacts, risks and seeking for appropriate measures was raised. A vulnerability assessment study conducted provided an overall picture on available ecosystems and ecosystem-services in the province and impacts by climate change to the available ecosystems and as well as adaptive capacity of different stakeholders in the provinces. The results of the VA studies provided useful and important data and information to provincial departments, leaders and policy maker to define and implement EbA pilot measures in 2 provinces incl. planting of coastal forests, mangroves and rehabilitation of natural resrevoirs.
