Key activities include organizing an inception workshop within 60 days of GEF CEO endorsement to align stakeholders and finalize project plans. Following this, a series of capacity-building training sessions will be conducted for local authorities and communities to strengthen their knowledge of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) and EbA practices. Additionally, the project will implement ecosystem interventions such as reforestation and wetland restoration to improve environmental resilience.

Throughout the project, ongoing stakeholder engagement will ensure inclusive participation and integration of local perspectives into all activities, promoting long-term sustainability and successful implementation.
