Descripción
Climate change represents a challenge for rural people in West and Central Africa, causing water shortages and droughts in some areas and floods in others. It impacts both the demand and availability of water for agriculture, affecting the proportion of people suffering from insecure access to water. Smallholder farmers are among the most vulnerable to the impact of climate variability. Hence, adapting small-scale irrigation and other forms of agricultural water management to climate change to e nsure sufficient availability and reliable access to water is a priority for their livelihoods. This project aims at improving the sustainability and supporting the adaptation of small-scale irrigation to climate change in West and Central Africa.
