WATERCLIMA LAC looked to contribute to improving watershed and coastal management in the context of climate change. The project sought to improve the dialogue and cooperation on watershed and coastal management and to support the technical and financial mechanisms for improved management. To this end, several actions were undertaken, including: summary and evaluation of the present situation; pilot projects; networking; dissemination; training and capacity building.
