Local financing for women's climate change adaptation in the Indenié-Djuablin

Country Côte d'Ivoire
Start date 29/08/2024
End date 15/08/2025
Status Active
Objective / Goal The initiative aims to support sustainable financing for climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions for vulnerable populations, particularly female farmers in the Indénié-Djuablin region of Côte d'Ivoire. Limited access to credit makes adaptation challenging for these women, putting their agricultural production at risk due to the impacts of climate change.
