The Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP) gives rural people the tools they need to adapt to increasingly erratic weather patterns. Climate and environment experts Hisham Zehni and Flavia Perusini tell us how this grant-based initiative has transformed IFAD’s approach to climate change and helped small-scale farmers build resilience.

The Adaptation for Smallholders in Hilly Areas (ASHA) project in Nepal has supported nearly 100,000 households. Country Director Roshan Cooke tells us more about the project and his team’s work on the ground, including promoting agroforestry and improving soil fertility.

The Multi-energy for Resilience and Integrated Territorial Management Project in Mali assists small-scale farmers – especially women and youth – by providing cleaner energy sources, which in turn helps build climate resilience for rural people. Philippe Remy tells us all about it.

After ASHA, comes the Resilient High-Value Agriculture Programme (RHVAP). Roshan Cooke explains how RHVAP builds on ASHA to further promote climate-resilient, high-value agriculture and boost small-scale farmers’ incomes and food security.
