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.
