As one of the top countries in the world most affected by climate change, the government of the Dominican Republic has committed strongly to improving coastal climate resiliency and cutting greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent by 2030. Counterpart’s Integrated Marine Ecosystem Management in Northern Hispaniola promotes climate resiliency in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Our Fisheries and Marine Conservation in Montecristi National Park project helped (2015-2018) communities work in partnership with the park service to promote more responsible fishing practices, enabling families to earn sustainable incomes while also conserving their natural resources.
OUR IMPACT
Together with our local partners, we are improving health and nutrition, expanding access to education, strengthening climate resiliency, enhancing people’s livelihoods, and ensuring communities are governed more inclusively. In each project, we track our goals, monitor the progress, and evaluate impact.
