Project Overview
Nepal’s Terai flood plain is hard hit by recurrent climate emergencies and a humanitarian crisis induced by returning economically displaced migrant workers. In order to address the double crisis, this project aims to significantly increase the resilience of farmers and migrant workers by identifying, demonstrating, incubating and investing in sustainable, climate smart agriculture practices. The project supports widespread adoption of climate smart agriculture in 10 local governments, reduces vulnerability and improves economic security for 5,300 farmers and workers, creates 2,440 new jobs for women, youth and returned migrant workers, and unlocks USD 20M of green investment. For this, project interventions aim to achieve the following objectives:
- Objective 1: Improving emergency management in the agriculture sector to protect lives and livelihoods; and
- Objective 2: Strengthening resilient agriculture planning and implementation; and
- Objective 3: Building and financing climate smart agriculture businesses for job creation and long-term resilient green growth.
The project is being implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Co-operatives in ten municipalities of Dhanusha and Mahottari districts of Madesh Province.
