BRICKS Project: Building Resilience through Innovation, Communication and Knowledge Services

BRICKS supports 12 country projects by providing

  • perational services to…

…help identify innovations…. …promote them through better communication…. …to put knowledge into use in investment to build resilience

BRICKS Project: Building Resilience through Innovation, Communication and Knowledge Services

Implemented by regional centers of excellence:

CILSS - Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel OSS - Observatoire du Sahara et du Sahel IUCN W and C Africa Office

Investments in sustainable landscapes can be complex compared to BAU:

  • higher supervision costs
  • higher coordination costs
  • higher monitoring costs
  • costs of prioritizing and

managing trade-offs in landscapes

BRICKS Project: Building Resilience through Innovation, Communication and Knowledge Services

A regional hub project can help reduce these costs and contribute to investment quality.
