  • Connectivity and Rural Transport
    • Climate-smart, sustainable, and cost-effective rural road transport connectivity
    • Complementary sector reforms and institutional capacity building
    • Catalyze private sector-led strategies and investment
  • Investment Promotion in Commercial Agriculture
    • Reform institutions and policies to catalyze an inclusive commercial agriculture sector
    • Strengthen the investment framework, capacity, and agricultural production
    • Support gender-equitable opportunities and solutions
  • Integrated Climate Management and Coastal Development
    • Enable community-led mangrove and seagrass reforestation and land-use planning
    • Investigate the feasibility of marine economies and potential application of blue carbon credits.
