Project aims

  • Improve the resilience of smallholder farmers to climate change shocks
  • Build capacities of agricultural extension services to identify and document climate-resilient SLM practices
  • Build up a national SLM database
  • Support smallholder farmers in adopting climate-resilient SLM practices
