Support access to clean energy by increasing viability, and promoting scaled-up commercial investment in renewable  minigrids in Burundi with a focus on cost-reduction levers and innovative business models.

Local CSOs and CBOs in landscapes-seascapes around the world access grant financing and technical assistance, including capacity development and knowledge sharing to maintain and enhance their socio-ecological resilience, well-being and socio-economic conditions for global environmental benefits.

Burundi’s smallholder farmers face escalating climate vulnerability and food insecurity. The country is dependent on rain-fed agriculture, and yields remain low. There is widespread hunger and malnutrition, particularly among the poorest smallholders. Multiple climate hazards erode productivity gains and disrupt livelihoods among a community with very low adaptive capacity.

To address these challenges, the project aims to enhance smallholder farmers' adaptive capacity. It will focus on scaling up a proven model of capacity-building support in agroforestry and livelihood diversification, which will allow farmers to graduate from subsistence agriculture and diversify their activities and enable better access to markets.

This cross-cutting project will provide an integrated package of climate-smart agricultural inputs, advisory services, and agroforestry support. It is the first under the pilot Project-Specific Assessment Approach (PSAA), an initiative that aims to streamline and broaden access to GCF finance for new partners, countries, and technologies.
