Scaling up Climate Resilience Solutions for Burundian Smallholders
Scaling up Climate Resilience Solutions for Burundian Smallholders
Burundi’s smallholder farmers face escalating climate vulnerability and food insecurity. The country is dependent on rain-fed agriculture, and yields remain low. There is widespread hunger and malnutrition, particularly among the poorest smallholders. Multiple climate hazards erode productivity gains and disrupt livelihoods among a community with very low adaptive capacity.
To address these challenges, the project aims to enhance smallholder farmers' adaptive capacity. It will focus on scaling up a proven model of capacity-building support in agroforestry and livelihood diversification, which will allow farmers to graduate from subsistence agriculture and diversify their activities and enable better access to markets.
This cross-cutting project will provide an integrated package of climate-smart agricultural inputs, advisory services, and agroforestry support. It is the first under the pilot Project-Specific Assessment Approach (PSAA), an initiative that aims to streamline and broaden access to GCF finance for new partners, countries, and technologies.
