ADAPT Jamaica: Enhancing climate change resilience of vulnerable smallholders in Central Jamaica

The project will target 6 parishes in Central Jamaica that are contributing to about 70% of national agricultural production. Climate change is affecting the food and nutrition security of over 300,000 people living in the project areas that are increasingly exposed to climate-driven hazards that affect water resources and shift cropping seasons. The project will enhance the adaptive capacity of 100,000 vulnerable smallholders through interventions leading to:

• Enhanced resilience of agricultural landscapes;
• Improved food security and livelihoods;
• Enhanced resilience of agricultural landscapes;
• Adopted climate resilient agricultural practices; and
• Strengthened enabling environment for implementation of local adaptation measures.

The project will introduce best practices and best available technologies to the beneficiaries, including improving their access to finance through Market Innovations Platforms subsequently to the project.
