Descriptif
This project is a one-year economic strengthening programme, working directly with 750 smallholder farmers, traders, youth and women in one sub-county of Kilifi County, Kenya. Communities in target locations are vulnerable to climatic shocks, specifically drought, which combined with low productivity and a lack of access to markets and financial services has resulted in low income security and widespread poverty. IRK will work with local communities across three impact areas including 1.) Food security capacity building, specifically in the area of innovative livelihoods practices 2.) Facilitate access to innovative and climate-smart technologies, financial services and markets that combined with improved capacity will result in higher productivity and incomes for the vulnerable community ; and 3.) Creating an enabling support environment of institutions and fostering supportive attitudes towards livelihood activities. To ensure long-lasting and sustainable economic empowerment, the project will heavily focus 7on creating market linkages and networking communities with private sector players. Further, the project will offer specific set of business skills women, in addition to explicitly promoting women’s participation in all project activities.
