Climate Resilient Rural Communities Programme

About this project

The Climate Resilient Rural Communities (CRRC) programme aims to strengthen the climate resilience and well-being of rural communities in Malawi, Ethiopia, Somalia, Nepal, and Guatemala. The target group is smallholder farmers, with a particular focus on women, youth and marginalised groups. CRRC will apply a holistic approach that integrates agroecology, climate-adapted agriculture, natural resource management, food security, nutrition, gender equality, economic empowerment, and policy advocacy. Outcomes will be achieved by diversified and increased agriculture production, increased seed security, better livestock management, sustainable management of resources, capacity building of grassroots organisations and policy work at local, national and international level. The programme is implemented in close partnership with experienced local civil society organisations, supported by strategic partners providing technical expertise. Local grassroots organisations are central to planning, implementation and monitoring, ensuring strong community ownership. National and district authorities are engaged to align activities with development strategies and policies, supporting long-term sustainability.
