It will offer a means for local communities (particularly women and youth) to identify and express their adaptation needs, expand access to NbCS information across Sub-Saharan Africa support rural communities in learning about, customizing and applying NbCS for climate adaptation and raise Canadian awareness of, and engagement with these solutions. This project will help to create a common understanding of climate change, in particular how nature-based solutions can be used to address climate adaptation needs. The project will use Farm Radio’s interactive local radio programming to achieve enhanced rural community action on climate change adaptation and biodiversity using locally-relevant, gender-inclusive nature-based solutions. In April 2022, Farm Radio began implementation of a 5-year, multi-country project about gender inclusive nature-based climate solutions (NBS) with financing from Global Affairs Canada. FRI is committed to gender equality and inclusion (GEI) as we are well-placed to facilitate ongoing dialogue to contribute to the transformation of inequitable gender norms and relations of power and the advancement of human rights, especially those of women. Together with broadcasting and project partners, we reach tens of millions of small-scale farmers and people in rural areas across the continent with life-changing information and facilitate strengthening and amplifying their voices in their own development. Farm Radio International is a Canadian non-profit organization serving African rural communities through the innovative use of mass media, focusing on radio and mobile phones.
