Smallholder farmers and water security (GCF2-SACCR)

Implemented since 2020, the project "Strengthening the resilience of smallholder agriculture to climate change-induced water insecurity in the Central Highlands and South-Central Coast regions of Viet Nam" (GCF2-SACCR) is designed to empower vulnerable smallholders in five provinces of the Central Highlands and South-Central Coast regions of Vietnam – especially poor, near poor, ethnic minority, and economically women-dependent households – to manage increasing climate risks to agricultural production by securing water availability, adopting climate-resilient agricultural practices, and strengthening access to actionable agro-climate information, credit, and markets. The project also promotes women’s economic empowerment and maximizes social and environmental benefits for vulnerable groups via gender-sensitive and social inclusive approach. Results and good practices of the project will be integrated into Viet Nam’s development strategies and policies.
