The ALIZE project implemented under a “pay-for-results” model aims to improve climate and economic resilience by implementing climate smart agriculture to protect biodiversity, farmers and their associations, enhancing the equitable adaptation to climate change for vulnerable rural women, particularly Indigenous women, and their cacao-growing communities. Project activities include: 1) developing and diversifying agroforestry systems based on gender-responsive climate smart agriculture, including for agricultural and domestic water access and management, reducing the vulnerabilities of women and their communities to climate change; 2) providing women-led technical assistance services on climate change adaptation in cacao-growing communities, including training on consolidating commercialization services for enhanced quality and certified cacao and gender-responsive financial products and services, such as financial literacy training; 3) delivering sessions on positive masculinities, recognizing women’s unpaid care work and promoting their leadership and decision-making related to natural resources governance.
