\nBackground:
\nThe RE2CLID (Regional Responses to Climate Displacement) project is a regional initiative that aims to strengthen the resilience of communities affected by displacement (DACs) in areas vulnerable to natural disasters and the effects of climate change, particularly in the Lake Tanganyika region. In the face of increasing environmental pressures, the project supports an integrated approach that combines resilience, governance, and inclusion. It focuses on improving the sustainable management of natural resources for the benefit of displaced communities and those at increased risk of future displacement, by promoting more effective, participatory, and locally responsive governance mechanisms.
\nAt the same time, the project develops specific activities to strengthen the empowerment of displaced populations in ecologically fragile areas by providing them with sustainable livelihoods and adaptation strategies.
