Promoting Climate Smart Agriculture and Agricultural Biodiversity in Upper and Lower Egypt

About this project

This project seeks to promote gender equality and the economic empowerment of rural women and men by increasing the adaptive capacities of poor and vulnerable rural populations to climate change, including landless, unemployed, under or seasonally employed individuals, in the Aswan, Beheira and Kafr El Sheikh Governorates of Egypt. The project seeks to develop and implement nature-based and climate-resilient agricultural practices that promote the sustainable use of natural resources, increase agricultural productivity, and improve livelihoods and food security. Project activities include: (1) providing need-based environment and agriculture training to smallholder famers and stakeholders; (2) providing micro- and small- entrepreneurs with technical and financial services; and (3) strengthening the connectivity of agricultural value chain; and 4) advocating for smallholder food production at the municipal, governorate and national level.
