Sustainable strengthening of resilience

Period:

01.12.2022 - 31.05.2026

Partner:

Development and Partnership in Action (DPA)

Funding by:

Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and Aktion Deutschland Hilft

Target group:

The main project target group are smallholder families whose livelihood is the cultivation of staple foods for self-sufficiency, mainly rice and cassava.

The issue:

The low resilience of the target population and communities to climate change-related shocks and crises has been identified as a key problem, which is why any extreme weather event severely damages their livelihoods. This is compounded by their limited capacity to recover from cumulative setbacks in staple food production. As a result, not only do food crises become more frequent, sustainable development processes are repeatedly set back.

Examples of activities:

Establishment of 3 smallholder cooperatives, training of board members in cooperative management & technical support.

Training and technical support on adapted cultivation methods & processing of staple foods and other crops 

Provision of inputs, tools and equipment for adapted and efficient production and post-harvest processing of staple foods and crops.

Establishment/reactivation, training and technical support of 40 community-based disaster response groups.
