Integrated, Adaptive and Climate-smart Response to Food Insecurity The project aims to ensure that vulnerable people in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, particularly small-scale producers, women and people living with disabilities, have access to local climate-resilient and nutritious food production, are supported to improve their resilience and livelihoods, as well as to prevent and mitigate the impacts of climate change. The consortium aims to scale-up existing interventions in each targeted project locations, using best practices and lessons learned to implement an integrated, adaptive programme that can respond to both the risks associated with food and nutrition crisis situations and structural vulnerabilities. The holistic project will employ a rights-based, community-driven approach that emphasizes inclusion of marginalized groups and support to women’s access to and control over resources, implemented across the following four strategic objectives:
SO1: Strengthening small-scale producers’ climate-resilient food production capacity
SO2: Improving financing opportunities for small-scale producers, women, youth and people living with disabilities
SO3: Improving adoption of recommended practices to prevent malnutrition and reduce malnutrition
SO4: Strengthening local governance systems to empower women and other marginalized smallholder farmers in food security programming
