Reduced vulnerability to climate change and food security for women in the cassava sector |
| Project Detail |
Desjardins International Development’s project, “Reduced vulnerability to climate change and food security for women in the cassava sector” aims to remove the main barriers that limit women working in the cassava sector in the Gbêkê region of Côte dIvoire from adapting to climate change. Project activities include: providing women farmers with training in climate-adapted agricultural practices, leadership and entrepreneurship programs, and improved access to productive resources. The project also plans to develop new financial products and services. It is estimated that 1,500 women will benefit directly from the training and services offered by the project. Members of their families will be indirect beneficiaries of the project – around 7,350 people. |
