- Description
- The Global Forum on Adaptive Social Protection aims to strengthen alliances among social protection actors with a view to extending social protection to more people around the world. Increased cooperation between multilateral and national actors is urgently needed to drive progress towards the achievement of SDG.1.3. Global initiatives aim to provide coherent and effective structures at the international level in order to ensure coordinated support for strengthening national social protection systems.

- Blue Economy Resurgence: Revitalizing Ghana's Mangroves and Coastal Livelihoods
- Date posted
- 11 months ago
- Description
- In Ghana, up to 30% of mangroves have been lost due to degradation and destruction in the last 25 years. This has knock-on effects as mangroves provide vital ecosystem services, supporting livelihoods, fisheries, timber, and fuel wood. They also act as natural barrier, protecting vulnerable communities against erosion and capture carbon from the atmosphere. They are critical for biodiversity, providing breeding grounds for fish populations and homes to many biodiverse fauna. The World Bank and PROBLUE are working with the Government of Ghana to protect and restore mangroves. This includes technical and financial support, including through the West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program (WACA) program. The World Bank is also supporting the Government of Ghana with their Sustainable Ocean Plans. For more information on PROBLUE: http://wrld.bg/jZZA50OA2vh
