Green Sustainable and Inclusive Livelihood (G-SAIL)

The Green Sustainable and Inclusive Livelihood (G-SAIL) activity will be implemented within 13 slum communities in the Western Area Urban Districts of Sierra Leone.

The project will rely on a twin-track approach to achieve its general objective, meaning that on the one hand, the project will work directly with persons with disabilities to build their capacities, and on the other hand, it will work with the communities to remove barriers faced by persons with disabilities and, at the national level, influence policies, and decision-making.

In each of these slum communities, activities will target persons with disabilities and parents or caregivers of children with disabilities to ensure that they have access to information on climate change and participate in decision-making and implementation of climate actions for them to be better prepared for, anticipate, cope with, and adapt to climate impacts.

With this, the project will work to build the capacity of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations to ensure access to green jobs.
