<p>The project aims to strengthen climate information and early warning systems in The Gambia and Tanzania by improving the generation, delivery, and use of climate data and services to enhance resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate-related hazards. It will modernize meteorological and hydrological infrastructure, establish multi-hazard early warning systems, and enhance institutional coordination across national and local levels. The project also promotes user-centered climate services for sectors such as agriculture, water, and disaster risk reduction, while ensuring accessibility of information to farmers, women, and youth.</p>

As GCF’s first dedicated livestock programme, DaIMA aims to strengthen climate resilience, reduce emissions across the dairy value chain and improve the livelihoods of dairy farmers in East Africa.

The dairy sector in East Africa, including Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, faces significant challenges due to climate change. Dairy farming is a major contributor to these countries' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and climate change's effects threaten its long-term sustainability. Many dairy farmers struggle with limited market access, challenges in sourcing local feed and fodder, inadequate extension and financial services, and difficulties in risk management. The sector is further impacted by low livestock genetic potential, herd management issues, animal diseases, insufficient extension support, limited awareness of climate-resilient and low-carbon practices and technologies, rangeland degradation and gender inequalities.

DaIMA has a comprehensive and holistic approach to improve all aspects of the dairy sector, from improving policy, institutional and service delivery environments to building the capacity of smallholder farmers, including women, youth and marginalised groups. It will improve access to finance and innovative technologies offering mitigation and adaptation benefits. As a result, dairy farmers and processors will be encouraged to adopt more efficient, climate-resilient practices that enhance incomes and lower production costs.

Key activities include strengthening national capacities and enhancing an enabling environment for a low-emission and climate-resilient dairy sector, enhancing income and productivity for smallholder dairy farmers, cooperatives and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by promoting sustainable climate-resilient and low-emission growth pathways, and establishing a Green Dairy Financing Facility in the four target countries to enhance access to finance for dairy value chain actors, including farmers, cooperatives, SMEs and technology providers.

Sub-Saharan Africa faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges for agricultural transformation, driven by the demands of a rapidly growing population and a changing climate. The effects of climate change are already severe in Africa, exacerbating the continent’s food insecurity and climate vulnerability challenges. 

To address these challenges, RE-GAIN aims to strengthen smallholder farmers' climate resilience and adaptive capacity by promoting the wide-scale adoption of food loss reduction solutions (FL-RS). This involves engaging both the demand and supply sides, with a strong emphasis on market creation and enhancement and active participation from the private sector.

Key activities will include increasing the demand for and encouraging the adoption of FL-RS by farmers in seven countries (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia), enhancing the supply and affordability of FL-RS, and fostering an enabling environment for its large-scale adoption.

As GCF’s first project targeting food loss reduction, this initiative holds significant potential for transformative change in Africa. It was brought under the Project-Specific Assessment Approach (PSAA), an initiative to streamline and broaden access to GCF finance for new partners, countries, and technologies.

GCF's Project Preparation Facility (PPF) support was deployed to help develop the project.

To halt land degradation and conserve biodiversity in the Wami-Ruvu Basin of Tanzania, thereby improving the provision of ecosystem services that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and regulate critical water resources.
