This project seeks to strengthen the climate resilience and food security of rural women and their communities across Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, and Zambia that are highly vulnerable to adverse effects of climate change. The project activities are based on feminist agroecology (FAE) as a means of climate change adaptation. These activities include the training of 100 feminist leaders, who will foster knowledge dissemination through facilitating local study circles, which each consist of 10 rural women. Moreover, advocacy efforts together with other civil society organisations will enhance the momentum of including FAE as a climate change adaptation strategy in the five respective countries. Centering rural women's demands and needs in the design of policies within the agricultural sector aims to create sustainable and long-lasting effects for a gender-responsive climate change adaptation strategy.
