The project supports young mothers, young women and men in acquiring knowledge and skills that address climate-related challenges which further deteriorate their employability and income. This includes helping them set up their own eco-friendly micro and small agriculture businesses through the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills, and climate-resilient innovations and technologies. Additionally, the project will enable young mothers, young women, and men to access affordable and appropriate finance as a catalyst for their businesses’ growth. The project will further facilitate the delivery of tailored extension services, access to climate-resilient technologies, and services to enhance food and income security through diversification opportunities targeted towards increasing soil quality, compost production and management, and ecosystem consideration. The project will additionally facilitate Micro, Small, and Medium Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt inclusive business models benefiting young people and women. These models will strengthen the supply chain and increase revenue and profitability while providing climate-resilient products and services needed. Empowering young women will be achieved through targeted mobilisation, careful selection of gender-friendly enterprises, women-centred business cases, and access to women-tailored financial services and products. The overarching vision of this project is to create resilience of young mothers, young women, and men to the impacts of climate change by increasing their access to climate-relevant technical skills and practices, technologies, production inputs, products, and services. This will lead to enhanced productivity and production, an increase in income, and food security and create employment opportunities. This project is financed by Linsi Foundation and Happel Foundation, among other donors. It is part of the Swisscontact Development Programme, which is co-financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA. https://www.swisscontact.org/en/projects/ecoprosperity-climate-resilient-livelihoods-through-regenerative-agriculture-technologies-for-women-and-young-adults SUBSCRIBE to watch more videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI_QOIA5hxvNKSMJ3IOdFOw FOLLOW us on social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/swisscontact/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/swisscontactworldwide/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swisscontact/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/Swisscontact SIGN UP to get our global Newsletter: https://www.swisscontact.org/en/newsletter/ VISIT the Swisscontact homepage: https://www.swisscontact.org/en ABOUT SWISSCONTACT Swisscontact is an independent non-profit development organisation established in 1959 by representatives of the Swiss private sector and civil society.
