This 3-year project has the development objective to increase resilience to climate change-related water shortages among smallholder farmer families in climate-vulnerable districts through the development of and advocacy for context-specific low-cost water harvesting technologies (WHT) contributing to sustainable water management sectors in Uganda and Tanzania. This is achieved through two outcomes; 1) Context specific low-cost WHTs innovated by 2000 smallholder farmer families organized in 100 farmer groups in 5 districts and 2) Low-cost WHTs for smallholder farmers are integrated in local adaption plans in 5 districts. Main activities are target group-led innovation of low-cost WHT, participatory MEL on resilience efficiency, and facilitation of dialogue between smallholder farmers and relevant duty bearers at district government level to influence development of local adaptation plans to include action plans for water access for smallholder farmers with WHT as a specific solution.
