Strengthening Resilience of Women to Climate Change in Chad

About this project

This project aims to increase the adaptation of young rural women and their communities to climate change in the Guéra province of Chad. The project also contributes to strengthening the skills and effectiveness of groups and cooperatives in developing climate-smart food systems with and for young women groundnut and sesame producers. Project activities include: (1) training women in peanut and sesame production in soil restoration and conservation techniques adapted to water stress and based on improved local knowledge; (2 ) implementing community reforestation and restoration campaigns for strategic aquatic and wetland ecosystems. This is for adaptation to climate change based on nature-based solutions that meet the needs of young women groundnut and sesame producers and their communities; (3) supporting groups and cooperatives in developing high-value marketing channels for young women producers; and (4) setting up pilot leadership laboratories supporting innovative and non-traditional social, economic and environmental initiatives of young rural women in the field of Climate Change Adaptation. The direct beneficiaries of the project are 5,000 people, mainly women peanut and sesame farmers, and their communities, including 3,500 women and young women and 1,500 men and young men. Indirect beneficiaries are estimated at more than 45,000 family members of the direct project beneficiaries.
