Various factors lead to low agricultural productivity and limited climate adaptation for smallholder farmers, including: - Rangeland degradation - Climate change vulnerability from reliance on rain-fed agriculture - Unsustainable agricultural practices -ufficient infrastructure (like water and energy) - Lack of technical and agronomic expertise - Restricted access to markets - availability of credit

VAKERA project is therefore created with an objective to:

  • Enhanced Climate Resilience 

  • Increase low-carbon Agribusiness  growth

  • Support Market Access and access to credit

  • ​Facilitate access to Carbon Finance
