Also available in:
No results found.On 9 April 2021, the La Soufrière volcano in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines erupted with several explosions over a period of several weeks, affecting most of the island's population. Farmers and local communities in the critical areas (red and orange zones) were severely affected by the heavy ash fall and pyroclastic flows, particularly in the areas closest to the volcano in the northern part of the island. In addition to major losses of tools and productive assets, reports showed extensive environmental damage and losses in critical areas, where forests and farms were wiped out, along with the destruction of large areas of staple crops such as vegetables, bananas and plantains. In addition, the eruptions were followed by heavy rains that caused flooding and lahar flows in various parts of the country. As a result, the livelihoods of vulnerable populations dependent on agriculture, livestock, fisheries and forestry were affected. The heavy deposits of volcanic ash throughout the country highlighted the need for soil and ash analysis to determine changes in nutrient composition, organic matter content, macro and micro fauna and pathogen profile, and to assess agro-edaphic and climatic suitability for existing and alternative crops. In response to the recovery and rehabilitation needs, the government prepared a priority list of immediate, medium and long-term responses. Within the priority list, two areas were identified: i) soil analysis, to determine soil rehabilitation, management requirements and value chain suitability determination by agroecological zone; ii) building a cadre of new entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector, including youth and women, and developing resilient value chains. In this context, this TCP aimed to facilitate the recovery of livelihoods and increase the resilience of food systems through the involvement of youth and women in the development of resilient value chains and entrepreneurship, by strengthening the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture to conduct soil analysis and developing a programme to support new agricultural entrepreneurs. -
ProjectEmpoderamiento de las mujeres, aumento de la resiliencia local e institucional y recuperación y conservación de las áreas forestales del oeste de Honduras - GCP/HON/045/CAN 2024
Also available in:
El proyecto PROMUCLIMA se creó para abordar desafíos críticos en 12 municipios del oeste de Honduras, donde se requerían propuestas medioambientales y económicas para mejorar el sistema de gobernanza de las comunidades dependientes de los recursos forestales y agroforestales. Además, este contexto subrayó la necesidad de intervenir en apoyo de las mujeres rurales, indígenas y de los jóvenes, a quienes se excluía de los procesos de toma de decisiones sobre desarrollo sostenible y acción por el clima. El objetivo del proyecto era fomentar el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres y los jóvenes a través de la mejora de sus competencias y conocimientos, la reducción del tiempo y el esfuerzo dedicado a actividades domésticas de acuerdo con los planes municipales, así como mejorar su acceso a diferentes mercados locales, nacionales e internacionales, y crear enlaces con otras partes interesadas de los sectores público y privado para crear nuevas oportunidades de financiación. -

Also available in:
This leaflet will present the aim of the subprogramme, which is to enhance women’s participation in and the benefits they receive from the development of selected value chains through improved access to resources and innovative and climate-resilient services, technologies and practices. This subprogramme will contribute to enhancing food security and nutrition in SIDS through the development of efficient, resilient and inclusive food systems, which are key to mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural settings. The tourism sector is one important area that is common to all SIDS countries and that is currently facing big challenges due to COVID-19-related restrictions. The subprogramme is addressing tourism through the analysis of the sector and assessing how women can adapt their agri-food businesses to ensure food security.
