WFP - World Food Programme

Purpose

This project seeks to improve climate resilient economies in 11 developing African countries. Project activities include: (1) providing training to national stakeholders on gender-responsive climate and disaster risk financing tools, including gender-specific modules; (2) purchasing insurance policies to ensure gender-equitable coverage against specific climate risks; (3) providing tailored assistance funded by the climate risk financing mechanism to climate-affected vulnerable women, men, girls and boys affected by the climate. This project directly benefits women and men who are vulnerable to climactic shock.
