Food security, livelihoods
& climate resilience

We strengthen household food security, sustainable livelihoods and climate resilience through climate-smart agriculture, livestock production, financial inclusion, enterprise development, market access and community-led adaptation.

Community context for this programme

What the work looks like

We strengthen food security and climate resilience through sustainable agriculture, livestock production, savings and financial inclusion, enterprise development, market access and natural resource management, creating economic opportunities and building resilient livelihoods.

Savings for Life groups provide a community-managed way to save regularly, borrow and invest in households or small businesses. Members agree contributions, keep records and make lending decisions together. Training connects financial literacy with farming, livestock management, beekeeping and enterprise skills.

Areas of focus

  • Climate-smart agriculture and sustainable livestock production
  • Savings, financial inclusion and household financial planning
  • Enterprise development, market access and economic opportunities
  • Natural resource management and community-led climate adaptation

We measure progress through improvements in household food security, income, agricultural and livestock productivity, savings and financial inclusion, enterprise growth and resilience to climate and economic shocks.
