Description:

The project aims to increase adaptation to climate change (CC) by young people and women agro-entrepreneurs, particularly from indigenous Awajun communities in the province of Alto Mayo in the department of San Martín in Peru. The project will strengthen young people's and women's ability to adapt to the effects of climate change through support geared towards economic autonomy and the enhancement of their culture and traditional knowledge. Project activities include: (1) delivering training workshops to increase the knowledge and skills of young and women agro-entrepreneurs, particularly Awajun, in climate-smart agriculture, with a view to adapting to climate change; (2) supporting women's economic autonomy and transformative leadership so that they can play a key role in implementing sustainable climate change adaptation solutions; (3) strengthening producers' associations and cooperatives so that they can develop an offer adapted to the target populations in favor of climate change adaptation, economic viability and sustainable development of their businesses; (4) increasing equitable access for women and young agro-entrepreneurs, particularly Awajun, to sources of climate financing.
