    PACT

Project funded by the Adaption Fund (AF) through a project preparation support package for the Protected Areas Conservation Trust (PACT) of Belize as National Implementing Agency (NIE) and the Ministry of Rural Transformation (MRT) as the executing entity.

The project aims to improve the inclusiveness of governance in four communities (three of them self-perceived as Maya) through interventions in water resource sustainability, improvements in livelihoods and the ecosystem, and training in health and gender. Likewise, it is intended to strengthen the capacities of the executing entity to provide better services to rural communities in Belize.

The consulting team developed the logical framework documents, theory of change, carried out stakeholder consultations, implementation arrangements, environmental and social safeguards management framework, and gender action plan. A particularity of this project is that it is one of the first to include the Free, Prior and Informed Consultation (FPIC) process in Belize.
