The proposed project aims to support communities in Tawi-Tawi in securing climate-resilient water access. The seaweed farming communities already face water insecurity, which will only get worse due to climate change. The project will seek to increase adaptive capacity of the communities in Sibutu and Sitangkai, through provision of access to water infrastructure and services. Also, it will strengthen livelihoods and sources of income of vulnerable seaweeds producing communities in Sibutu and Sitangkai by stimulating manufacturing of better-quality seaweeds. Finally, project activities will build awareness and ownership of adaptation and climate risk reduction processes within local communities and LGUs in Sibutu and Sitangkai, as well as in the wider region
