The Government of Nepal together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed the ´Building a Resilient Churia Region in Nepal´ (BRCRN) Project. The overarching objective of the proposed Green Climate Fund (GCF) project is to “enhance the climate resilience of ecosystems and vulnerable communities in the Churia region through integrated sustainable rural development and natural resource management approaches.”The project will directly benefit at least 750 community-based organizations, containing over 173,160 households and 831,168 people (50% women), in 26 vulnerable river systems to strengthen their resilience against climate change. Indirectly the project will benefit over 3.2 million people living in the BRCRN project area.
