The Strengthening Ecosystem Resilience for Integrated Landscape Restoration and Climate-Resilient Food Systems in Carriacou, project seeks as its objective to effectively address land degradation in Carriacou, through demonstration and application of ecosystems-based landscape restoration, sustainable land management and good agricultural practices, using community participatory approaches that expands diversification and sustainability of livelihoods options. Significant progress is being made to improve farmers’ access to water, which will enhance irrigation, boost food production, increase livestock, and ultimately improve their livelihoods by increasing their earnings. This project is being executed by the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management, with funding from the Global Environment Facility and implemented with support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). One of its significant accomplishments is the restoration of the Dumfries cistern, a crucial water storage system for the community for decades. The cistern which has deteriorated and could no longer function at its full capacity, has been successfully restored

Significant progress is being made through the Enhancing Land Management and Strengthening Ecosystem Resilience for Integrated Landscape Restoration and Climate-Resilient Food Systems in Carriacou, also known as the Carriacou ILM Project to improve farmers’ access to water, which will enhance irrigation, boost food production, increase livestock, and ultimately improve their livelihoods by increasing their earnings. This project is being executed by the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management, with funding from the Global Environment Facility and implemented with support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). One of its significant accomplishments is the restoration of the Dumfries cistern, a crucial water storage system for the community for decades. The cistern which has deteriorated and could no longer function at its full capacity, has been successfully restored and can now collect and store its maximum water volume. Project Manager Bernard Mc Intosh, speaks of the work completed.

Minister for Climate Resilience, the Environment and Renewable Energy, Hon. Kerryne James, described the co-location of the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) Headquarters alongside the Delegation Office of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) as particularly noteworthy. β€œIt reflects an evolution in how we approach development in the Caribbean β€” not in silos, but through convergence,” Minister James affirmed. β€œAgriculture cannot be divorced from land management. Land management cannot be separated from climate resilience.” Minister James also called on the other PISLM-affiliated countries to complete their Host Country Agreements and their Letters of Accession to facilitate greater efficiency in the execution of national project activities.
