The village has just started receiving electricty after 20 years. “I used to have to wash clothes manually for 4 hours every two days now it's 30 minutes in a washing machine so I have lots of time to do other things like spend time with the children. Before I would have to spend all day Collecting wood now there's no need. We lived in Russia near Moscow since 2006. We came back mostly because there is now access to electricity. It's good to be back. We have TV so the kids can watch cartoons and we can watch the news. We're more aware of what's going on in the world, we're more in the loop. In the evenings there's much more socialising and visiting neighbours and friends. Now we have a refrigerator, we can keep meat that usually went off quickly and I make yogurt for the family. We're planning to create a home stay in our second floor. For the Future, we just looking forward to enjoying life.”

Altit, a village located at the foot of the 900 year-old Altit Fort, had been partially deserted by its residents. Nearly a third of the homes had been abandoned, and new construction was using up valuable arable land. In an attempt to address this phenomenon and pre-empt the socio-economic consequences expected from a tourism boom, conservation efforts at Altit proceeded in reverse order: the village rehabilitation before the Fort.
As in Karimabad, the introduction of water and sanitation facilities has proven vital to the revitalisation of the traditional settlement.
The conservation strategy for Altit Fort developed in 2004 called for preservation “as found”, that is, basically as an empty shell, showing off the resilient traditional engineering techniques that have allowed for such structures to cope with tremors in a fairly active seismic zone. Most conservation works relate to mending structural defects, stabilising and repairing existing walls, replacing some roofs, treating wood decay and providing appropriate lighting.
Altit Fort is open to visitors, while its splendid undulating garden – a fairy tale orchard – is a welcoming haven of tranquillity and nature. The KhaBasi Café situated in the garden re-uses the Mir’s colonial era winter residence and serves local traditional dishes. Entrance fees are charged for both the Fort and the rehabilitated historic village, with a portion going to the Altit Town Management Society, which also collects fees for sanitation and water services from the community for operation and maintenance of these services.
Following its completion in 2010, Altit Fort was recognised with the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award of Distinction in 2011.

Karimkol runs a nursery in Ala-Buka in Jalalabad region. He grows apple, apricot, cherry, plums and other seedlings before selling them on to farmers. As part of its food security and economic inclusion work, AKF supported Karimkol by providing him weeding equipment to increase his productivity so that he could sell to more farmers. When asked why he grows all these different plants he replied “because it brings me joy.”

Akabondo Mainais the monitoring and evalution officer for the CIF projects in western Zambia. He talks here to the Nalunau family, who have been farming here for 3 generations. They explain that they are struggling because the flood waters on the Barotse plain are not receding like they used to.
The Climate Investment Fund is supporting projects within the Pilot Project for Climate Resilience in Zambia. The largest plan the in the country is the Barotse Sub Basin, in the country's far western half.
The Barotse floodplain in western Zambia is becoming a more difficult place to live and farm as climate change impacts worsen and an old canal system no longer functions. New funding aims to make exposed communities like the ones on the Barotse floodplain more resilient to the effects of climate change - in large part by allowing local people to figure out what changes they think would be most effective and giving them money to carry them out. Zambians say the approach should be more effective and more resistant to corruption.
