34,234 hectares of natural resources under improved management
This measure includes activities that promote enhanced management of natural resources for one or more objectives, such as sustaining soil and/or water resources, mitigating climate change, and/or promoting sustainable agriculture, etc.

Illustrative results in 2013

22,361 hectares in areas of biological significance and/or natural resource showing improved biophysical conditions
A hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters. Areas are rated on a set of criteria and then prioritized according to their biological significance, which helps USAID decide where to focus its work. Improved biophysical conditions are demonstrated where there is data showing improvement in one or more natural resources in the area over time.
163 stakeholders with increased capacity to adapt to the impacts of climate variability and change
Adaptive capacity is the ability to adjust to climate change, to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.
