Our Outcome Areas
Outcome 1
Household, community capacities and assets built to withstand economic and climate related shocks and stresses
• Improved household and community absorptive and adaptive capacities, incorporating analysis of specific youth and gender dynamics within the project context.
• Improved sustainable management of natural resources, technologies such as energy saving stoves, solar power options and improved community and household water storage technology specifically benefiting women by reducing time spent colleting firewood and water. This off-sets additional time spent by women in the community management and productive aspects of the project.
Outcome 2:
Relevant value chains are profitable and able to withstand shocks and stresses
• Strengthening the resilience of the targeted value chains within market systems. Sustainable and viable value chains are critical to building the transformative capacities of targeted communities and households
• Specific attention to the gender analysis to identify current barriers to women’s effective participation in market structures, such as contract farming arrangements that tend to be male dominated. Based on the findings, relevant approaches were determined to increase women`s participation in the project value chains.
Outcome 3
Improved responsiveness of market ecosystems to the needs of at-risk communities.
• Revived/ established community development institutions and structures, ensuring women and youth participation
• Developed and roll out a gender sensitive community scorecard for improved service delivery
• Facilitated technical support from private sector on extension services
• Established multiple contract farming and other value chain arrangements
• Built capacities of women and men farmers (including male and female youth) and other stakeholders in contract farming & other value chain arrangements
• Facilitated capacity building of market system governance structures to respond to the needs of women and men farmers and male and female youth.
