IKAN Adapt Project: Strengthening Climate Adaptation and Biodiversity Conservation for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Timor-Leste (2022-2027).

The IKAN Adapt project (GEF ID 10181) is a Full-Sized Project (FSP) utilizing the Multi-Trust Fund (MTF) and focusing on Multi Focal Areas (Climate Change Adaptation and Biodiversity). Implemented by FAO with WorldFish as the executing partner, the project aims to enable fisheries and aquaculture stakeholders in Timor-Leste to adapt to climate change and manage biodiversity conservation. The scope covers reducing vulnerabilities, piloting and adopting new practices and technologies, and sharing information and knowledge among these stakeholders. Key activities and approaches include capacity building, knowledge generation and exchange, community-based natural resource management, ecosystem-based adaptation, transforming policy and regulatory environments, strengthening institutional capacity, promoting behavior change through communication and awareness, fostering participation and partnerships, gender mainstreaming, and training. The project specifically targets the fisheries and aquaculture sectors and their dependent livelihoods. It is expected to start implementation on January 1, 2022, and be completed by December 1, 2027, running for 60 months. There are no specific regulations or statutes named in the provided text. The total project cost is $14,946,210.00, with $4,416,210.00 from GEF Trust Funds (LDCF and GET) and $10,530,000.00 in co-financing.
