Her Resilience, Our Planet

About this project

This project aims to mitigate existing and potential climate risks faced by individuals reliant on the Great Ruaha River ecosystem, with a strong focus on supporting women. It promotes agricultural practices that adapt to climate shifts and encourages livelihoods that positively interact with nature. The project seeks to develop climate adaptations that specifically consider the necessities of women by collaborating with local communities, governmental bodies, and agricultural stakeholders. It also focuses on empowering women by enhancing their leadership capabilities, fostering advocacy and technical skills, and helping them mitigate risks associated with climate change. Project activities include: (1) providing gender-responsive technical assistance to food insecure communities; (2) creating guidelines, tools and support mechanisms for promoting gender-responsive, climate-smart and biodiversity-protective agricultural systems; and (3) raising awareness with community members and leaders about the intersectional gender-based violence risks in the community through the different project interventions.
