<p>The project’s main goal is to enhance the adaptive capacity of vulnerable and food insecure households and communities to the impacts of climate change on food security. This will be achieved by pursuing the following three objectives:I. Strengthening institutional capacity and building systems to generate climate information and reduce climate risks through more accurate sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasting and impact-based forecasting that enables scaled out anticipatory action and enhanced gender-responsive last mile climate services;II. Deepening gender-responsive awareness raising and communication on climate change impacts and adaptation actions, centred on the climate change – food security – gender – nutrition nexus, through an iterative and systematic process targeting vulnerable communities, women, youth, scholars, teachers, and nonformal educational institutions; andIII. Scaling up and out local adaptation actions for robust asset creation, income diversification, entrepreneurial development and stronger market linkages, enabled by a community-based planning process, for increased adaptive capacity and household resilience.</p>
<p>The project will meet these objectives through three interlinked components that build on achievements and integrate lessons learned from IACoV phase I, as detailed in Part II.A, to deliver an integrated package of interventions to address the key causes of vulnerability to climate change and food insecurity for vulnerable smallholder farmers and associated groups in selected districts in Lesotho.</p>
