Overall goal


Das dreijährige Projekt zielt auf eine nachhaltige natürliche Ressourcennutzung rund um das Südufer des Lago Managua ab, um dadurch sowohl die Lebensbedingungen von 480 lokalen Familien langfristig zu verbessern, als auch die technischen Kapazitäten auf Gemeindeebene in bezug auf Ressourcenschutz und -nutzung zu stärken.


Das Projekt umfasst folgende Projektaktivitäten:

(1) Aufforstung von 400 manzanas Hartholzwaldes, Informations- und Sensibilisierungskampagnen in bezug auf Bodenerosion, etc., Umwelterziehung in den lokalen Schulen, die sich in den Zonen I, II und III der Projektregion befinden,

(2) Landwirtschaftliche Aktivitäten: Kultivation von 120 biologischen Testparzellen, Unterstützung der Frauen in der Vermarktung von Kleintierzucht,

(3) Gründung und Begleitung eines Managementkomittees bestehend aus VertreterInnen der lokalen Bevölkerung, lokalen Politkern, StudentInnen und VertreterInnen lokaler NGOs,

(4) Erstellung eines Co-Managementplans,

(5) Implementierung eines Frühwarnsystems zu Umweltschäden für die gesamte Küstenregion des Lago Managua. Dieses Frühwarnsystem basiert auf UNO Empfehlungen zur Minimierung globaler Umweltschäden.

    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries.
