- AICCRA Zambia's work is anchored on prioritizing gender equality and social inclusion to transform livelihoods - focusing on removing and overcoming the barriers to the benefits from accessing and using climate information services and climate-smart agriculture
After more than three years working with these communities in Zambia, we visited some of the women and young people involved in the climate-smart bundles to hear their stories.
This video showcases the 'Best in Class' bundles.
Through a holistic lens towards supporting women in agriculture production, women were provided with climate information, including seasonal forecasting, to better prepare for the farming season. Seasonal forecasting was also linked to recommended actions on specific soybean and groundnut varieties to plant. Women were also supported through cooperatives, where information and good agronomic practices were implemented to ensure increased productivity. This holistic bundled approach resulted in increased incomes, better nutrition outcomes, better health and empowered women.
