This project aims to enhance the resilience of marginalized rural youth, especially young women, in five districts across the climate vulnerable East Nusa Tenggara and South Sulawesi provinces in Indonesia. It will directly benefit 4,000 youth aged 18-29 (70% women), including 160 youth farmers with disabilities (aged 18-35) and engage approximately 415 intermediaries including community leaders, local government stakeholders and local protection actors. Project activities include: (1) conducting gender-transformative life skills training with rural youth; (2) equipping young farmers with climate-smart agriculture technologies, entrepreneurial skills and small grants to implement innovative business ideas; (3) working with local government and youth farmers to advocate for inclusive policies for effective climate action.
