Results
Other outcomes: Project activities created modest opportunities for employment, local business development and income generation in conjunction with pro-environment works, and development of local eco-tourism under the coastal zone management activities, with the likelihood of more substantial opportunities from follow-on programs. The increased employment, in turn, is expected to have a positive impact on poverty, particularly in rural areas.
