Resilience for Women Through Climate-Smart Economic Transformation (RECET)

Manda Kumari Karn of the Janaki Women Awareness Society in Nepal will support women farmers in Nepal to incorporate labor-saving technologies and non-agricultural sources of income and to participate in community-based responses to climate change. For 100 households dependent on subsistence agriculture in the Dhanusha district, they will provide training to establish climate-smart, labor-saving agricultural systems, including solar-powered water systems. Women in these households will receive support in creating micro-enterprises that reduce their dependence on agriculture, including needs-based training and business coaching. They will also bring together women farmers and entrepreneurs to support their participation in developing local action plans for climate change response.
