Agriculture based livelihoods is the primary means of support and principal source of income for the rural communities of the Bandundu, Bas Congo, Kasaï oriental and Katanga Provinces. Yet, in these provinces, climate change has reduced yields and made it difficult to diversify farming operations, resulting in losses of income of up to 50% for some farmers. This constitutes a major obstacle to achieving food security and social development for the poor populations in these rural communities. This situation has particularly exacerbated the vulnerability of women. Women are at a disadvantage both with regard to access to productive resources and control over the means of support. Yet, the role of women in farming is critical. 85% of rural women work in farming and are the main producers. They represent 60% of agricultural workers and 73% of farmers, and produce 80% of food products for household consumers. Moreover, through impacts on household socioeconomic conditions, climate change, affects the rights of children in key sectors to have access to health and education. This project, entitled “Improving women's and children's resiliency and capacity to adapt to climate change in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,'' is a community-based project focusing on the needs of women and children in four provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Bandundu, Bas Congo, Kasaï Oriental and Katanga). Its goal is to improve the capacities of rural workers and households to reduce vulnerability of communities to climate change. The project has two following components: component 1: Sustainable diversified practices of households, under which diversified farm practices (integrated fish farming, cattle and goat raising, irrigated farming, etc.) and farm production transformation are supported, with the additional support of agro-meteorological information; and component 2: Building key capacities to conduct activities of resilience to climate change, under which capacity building actions are supported, particularly by improving adapted seed production, technology transfers, and training women who process farm products (including fish farming products), and training community radio operators.
