Aims to improve the absorptive and adaptive capacities of PAP ecosystems by monitoring and improving the health and productivity of natural rangeland resources (improving their soil stability, hydrologic function, vegetation productivity, and biotic integrity) and attenuate community-level conflict in PAP areas.

This component aims to enhance the absorptive and transformative capacities of PAP household by increasing, diversifying, and stabilizing their incomes, including those of households who are moving out of the pastoral system, with a focus on promoting climate-smart technologies and value chains, raising fewer but more productive animals, and increasing productivity while lowering GHG emissions.

This component will finance (a) project management, (b) ME&L, and (c) knowledge management and policy support.
