Micro-projects to strengthen community resilience

This report presents the micro-projects implemented by the Partners for Resilience (PfR) to build the resilience of 23 communities in Guatemala with a high disaster risk rating.

The report describes the micro-projects implementation and their impact on the communities. It highlights some good practices for future experiences and lessons learned as a result of the process and the interaction with the Partners for Resilience.

These micro-projects were aimed to improve the living conditions of community beneficiaries by helping to reduce their vulnerability to natural disasters. The community beneficiaries were also trained on how micro projects contribute to risk reduction, climate change adaptation and ecosystem management and restoration. The micro projects were implemented in: Quiché (Santa Cruz, Sacapulas, Joyabaj and San Bartolomé Jocotenango), Sololá (Nahualá, Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán), Zacapa (Cabañas), Chiquimula (Concepción Las Minas and Camotán), and Izabal (El Estor).
