Description
The wCOREL project promotes community driven resilience and change by women at all levels –households and communities to markets and local governance systems – resulting in sustainable livelihoods and well-being for all women and families. The project focuses on women-led climate resilient farming. SSP is working on de-risking agriculture and promoting women’s decision-making by encouraging organic cultivation of multiple indigenous food crops and livelihood diversification to ensure household health, nutrition and income security. The Women-led Climate Resilient Farming (WCRF) model (also called 1-acre farming model) transforms marginalised women farmers in climate-risk areas into resilient leaders, with better livelihoods and wellbeing by positioning them as agri-innovators and decision makers.
