A German development bank and Nagaland
government have signed an agreement to raise adaptive capacity of rural
people in the face of climate changes.
As part of the climate change adaptation
(CCA) project in the North-East, the German government-owned development
bank, Reconstruction Credit Institute (KfW) on Tuesday signed the
‘minutes of meeting” (MoM) with the Nagaland government for
implementation of the programme.Before signing the MoM a KfW mission
team visited various parts of the state for three days and held meetings
with officials from various departments, including the State Task Force
on Climate Change, a state official said here.
Dr. Marcus Stewen, senior project manager
of KfW signed the document on behalf of the German bank while Chief
Secretary Lalthara signed for Nagaland in the latter’s office in
presence of additional chief secretary and development commissioner
Alemtemshi Jamir and other senior government officials.
The KfW (German financial cooperation
programme) will be implemented involving various government agencies,
including Nagaland Environment Programme through Economic Development
(NEPED) and NGOs, through micro-level planning and execution of
livelihood programmes keeping in mind the challenges of climate
change.The programme, which is likely to take off by early 2012, is
intended to enhance the resilience and adaptive capacity of rural people
in Nagaland in the face of climate change and variability, the official
said.
