Descripción
The training course material for climate wise women agents (CWWAs) has been launched in Jordan under the project Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan Through Improving Water Use Efficiency in the Agriculture Sector (BRCCJ). CWWAs will be trained as master trainers in state-of-the-art techniques for climate adaptation and efficient domestic use of water. The CWWA will be responsible for further training four hundred women to become climate wise women (CWW) across the project’s four target governorates.Based on a comprehensive review of the project area and training needs assessment of climate adaptation challenges faced by women in the project target area, the BRCCJ project has designed the course material to cover chapters on gender and climate change, international bindings related to climate change, climate change mitigation and adaptation in agriculture, climate adaptive irrigation technologies, efficient use of domestic water, soil management, budgeting and climate adaptive agribusiness plans, and approaches for climate change adaptation advocacy.The training course material will enable women in the project’s target area to become climate-wise and resilient. Additionally, the business-related topics will enable the climate wise women agents (CWWAs) to support enhanced production systems, guide women towards adding value to their products, and foster entrepreneurship at the household and community levels.The sections in each chapter contain the learning objectives, expected outcomes, sequence of activities, training topics, the required training materials, feedback on training content and its delivery, and resource materials. This course material will guide the participants of climate adaptive agriculture through providing training, training material, training topics, technical contents, and practical demonstrations to strengthen climate resilience at the household and community level.
