Grant Overview

The Marshall Islands face significant challenges due to rising sea levels, with coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion threatening the very existence of the island nation. With 29 atolls and islands spread across a vast area, the local government has identified climate resilience as a top priority. Unlike neighboring island nations, the Marshall Islands' unique geography requires tailored approaches to seawall construction and sustainable land use. The current state of coastal resilience infrastructure is dire, with many communities lacking basic protective measures. This funding opportunity prioritizes community-based initiatives that enhance preparedness and adaptive capacity. Who Should Apply in the Marshall Islands? Eligible applicants include local non-profits, community groups, and government agencies with a proven track record in climate resilience projects. Applications will be evaluated based on their ability to demonstrate clear community engagement and measurable outcomes. The Marshall Islands' Rural Coastal Landscape is characterized by limited infrastructure and a high reliance on traditional knowledge. To succeed, applicants must demonstrate an understanding of these local realities. Key infrastructure constraints include limited access to construction materials and equipment, as well as a shortage of skilled labor. By addressing these capacity gaps, the funding aims to support the development of robust coastal resilience infrastructure. The Marshall Islands' Climate Resilience Infrastructure is in dire need of upgrading, with many existing seawalls in disrepair. This funding will support the construction of new seawalls and the restoration of existing ones, using locally sourced materials where possible. With a focus on community-based initiatives, this funding opportunity is tailored to the unique needs of the Marshall Islands. The Economic Benefits of Climate Resilience in the Marshall Islands are clear: by protecting local communities and infrastructure, we can safeguard the nation's economic future. Major industries, including fishing and tourism, rely on a stable and resilient coastline. By investing in climate resilience, we can ensure the long-term viability of these industries.
