The project aims to contribute to strengthening the capacity of the government, more particularly the National System of Prevention, Mitigation and Response to Disaster (SINAPRED), the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARENA), the NicaraguanTerritorial Studies Institute (INETER) and the Ministry of Interior, in orderto address climate-induced migration in Nicaragua. The objective will be achieved through a series of activities. First of all, the project will organize capacity-building workshops utilizing the IOM MECC handbook and complementary tools, targeting government officials and focal points from municipal committees for disaster prevention, mitigation, and response (COMUPRED). The second output will aim to generate gender-sensitive evidence and assess the needs of communities located in the northern part of Nicaragua in relation to human mobility, resilience and adaptation to climate change. Finally, the third output will aim to create a space for dialogue and advocacy in order to promote the relevance of migration governance in relation to the environment and climate change at the local and national levels.
