Construção de 1 Dique de Retenção, Arretos e Plantação de Árvores
The project involves carrying out concrete anti-erosion activities in Ribeirão Fundo in Planalto Leste, Santo Antão Island. The intervention site is also located within the Parque Natural of Cova, Paúl e Torre, an area which has been affected by soil erosion over the years. Additionally, previous interventions have not had desired impact.
In this sense, the purpose will be to implement coordinated interventions, such as contribution of a dike, and anti-erosion terraces, while reforesting steep sloping areas with forest plats. The actions will not only minimize soil loss, but as well will enable small farmers to have more accessible land for small farm plots.

Project Characteristics and Results
Notable Community Participation
Although there was a scale down on anti erosion terraces constructed by the CBO, there was an exponential increase on the dike size, which was to be of 76 m3 and ended up being 191.79 m3 capacity. All of which without increasing project costs. On the contrary, the CBO used USD 988 less than allocated.
Policy Influence
The project contributes and influences the following national policies: The National Action Plan for the Environment (PANA II), the Action Programme to Combat Desertification, Action Plan for the Development of Agriculture, National Climate Change Adaptation Program, and National Biodiversity Strategy Action Plan.
