Problem context
Why this matters
Smallholder communities across East Africa face increasingly erratic rainfall, prolonged drought, land degradation and biodiversity loss, while having limited access to climate information and adaptation finance.
Approach
How we work
We combine landscape restoration, community-led natural resource management and climate data to design adaptation measures that are locally owned and measurable.
Design
Interventions and intended outcomes
