About the Project:
Climate change projections for East Africa show an increase in temperatures and a higher occurrence of climatic shocks (droughts and floods). This coupled with the expected exponential increase in human population currently averaging 3% in Tanzania and Uganda, and 2.5% in Kenya, poses a serious threat to the future development of the three East African economies.
SNV Netherlands Development Organisation is the lead implementing party for the Climate Resilient Agribusiness for Tomorrow (CRAFT) Project in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. This five-year project, with funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is implemented in partnership with Wageningen University and Environmental Research, CGIAR’s Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), Agriterra, and Rabo Partnerships. The consortium offers a strong platform to not only manage and coordinate a robust climate smart agriculture project, but also provide targeted technical assistance, business facilitation, as well as research and knowledge management support.
The project uses an Inclusive Business development approach to support the international and Dutch efforts on climate change and sustainable production in arable farming. The project, through its Climate Innovation and Investment Facility, will leverage €10 million in private sector investments, and will work with and through the private sector and support public sector partners in creating an institutional environment for wide-scale adoption of climate smart agricultural practices and technologies.
