This project works to improve livelihoods and economic empowerment for women and men smallholder farmers through sustainable land management practices, climate change adaptation and climate-smart income-generating activities. It supports the Government of Ethiopia’s national Sustainable Land Management Program, a flagship program designed to reduce land degradation and improve agricultural productivity of smallholder farmers.
