Sustainable Land and Soil Management Project, Petite Martinique
['Now Grenada']
NOW Grenada
The project inception workshop for a new initiative aimed at strengthening sustainable land and soil management, improving water security, and reducing drought was conducted in Petite Martinique with the engagement of stakeholders, including residents, farmers, businesses, and other beneficiaries.
The stakeholder consultation was facilitated by Dianne Roberts of Roberts Caribbean, who was recruited by the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM) to develop the project document for the 3-year project.
The project will seek to build local capacity in Sustainable Land and Soil Management (SLM) through landscape restoration.
Following the meeting, Roberts will prepare a draft project document for submission to the Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management and the United Nations Environment Programme for submission to the Global Environment Facility.
The initiative is designed to deliver environmental, social, and economic benefits by restoring ecosystems, improving agricultural productivity, strengthening water management, supporting biodiversity, and creating more sustainable livelihood opportunities for residents of Petite Martinique.
