This project aims to bolster women’s resilience and adaptive capacity in the face of climate challenges, ensuring they are stronger and empowered. It focuses on enhancing climate change adaptation of 2,000 rural families (1050 headed by women) in Amhara and Oromia regions, significantly impacted by climate change and of 4,000 women entrepreneurs in Addis Ababa, a critical hub for agri-food processing. It places emphasis on implementing climate resilient practices and technologies in key agribusiness value chains, including teff and legumes, by engaging key stakeholders including cooperatives. Technical training, improved technologies, and market development initiatives focus on uplifting teff and legume production of small-holder women farmers and the efficiency and profitability of women entrepreneurs involved in the agri-business value chain. STRONG’HER aims to reduce climate vulnerability in injera and legumes storage and processing activities and address the gap in climate resilient technical knowledge of women entrepreneurs engaged in injera baking and legumes processing. The project also addresses gendered norms, stereotypes and power relations that perpetuate and legitimize inequality.

April 2024 - Northern Ethiopia continues to feel the humanitarian impact of the 2-year war in Tigray from 2020 to 2022.

The drought in 2023 worsened needs and protection risks for over 275,000 highly vulnerable, internally displaced, and returning persons in the region.
