The project is working to enhance the capacity of agricultural and pastoral communities in Zimbabwe to adapt to climate variability and change. The primary project objective is to demonstrate and promote adoption of a range of gender-sensitive approaches for adaptation to climate change among rural communities currently engaged in agriculture in vulnerable areas of the Chiredzi. The project strategy is basically three pronged:
- Improving the climate change knowledge base to facilitate adaptation choices;
- Pilot demonstration of policy oriented adaptation practices, and
- Promoting the use of climate early warning systems.
