The Integrated Approach Programme on food security in Sub-Saharan Africa targets agro-ecological systems where the need to enhance food security is directly linked to opportunities for generating local and global environmental benefits. Being an integral part of the 12 country regional programme, ERASP will contribute to the collective impact of this programme, which is intended to inform approaches to food security in the drylands of sub-Saharan Africa towards win-win solutions between food production and maintaining ecosystem services in the face of anticipated climate shocks.

The overall project objective is to enhance the provision of ecosystem services and improve the productivity and resilience of agricultural systems of vulnerable rural poor. This objective encompasses three sub-objectives of addressing land degradation, loss of agro-biodiversity and climate change adaptation and mitigation.
