The "Adapt for Environment and Climate Resilience in Sudan" (or simply “ADAPT!”) project aims to integrate environmental management, governance and climate resilience best practices into a humanitarian and development programme to help the people of Sudan cope with environmental stress and climate change.

Development planners and practitioners in Sudan have supported many projects on better Natural Resource Management (NRM) since the 1960s. However, lessons learned have often not been documented and properly communicated. This report collates lessons learned and good practices in Natural Resource Management in Sudan. It is divided in four themes:

  • Supporting livestock corridor management.
  • Registering and managing forests and rangelands.
  • Providing support to smallholder gum arabic farmers.
  • Developing synergy between Integrated Water Resources Management and Natural Resource Management.

ADAPT! is funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) and implemented by UNEP in partnership with the Government of Sudan.
