Severe droughts, erratic rainfall and rising temperatures threaten local smallholder producers. In addition, limited access to resources, financial services and market opportunities hinders the producers’ ability to harness the benefits of their work. This is even more problematic for women and the youth. With a deep understanding of the local context, the World Food Programme will work to address key factors of those problems, and by so doing, will effectively contribute to action areas 1 to 5 the Feminist International Assistance Policy.

This initiative will work to provide critical knowledge and data to the smallholder producers, to help them face climate uncertainty more effectively. This includes climate information services, equipping communities with rain gauges, agroclimatic sensors, and forecasting tools that allow smallholder producers to make adaptive decisions in real-time. It also includes the promotion, mainly through training and demonstration, of climate-smart agricultural practices, such as drought-resistant crops, soil conservation techniques and improved water resource management. Moreover, this project will work to bolster economic resilience and market access, particularly for the women and youth, notably through network-building and the introduction of innovative financial instruments like revolving microcredit funds or parametric microinsurance., description french : his project aims to provide a stabilizing force in the Central America region (Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador) by working on climate resilience, food security and nutrition.
