Climate-smart Livelihoods
We believe that true climate resilience integrates sustainable economic growth through gender-smart and scalable livelihood models.
Sustainable Economic Growth
Through our Enterprise pillar, ACF develops climate-smart livelihoods that are both gender-smart and scalable. We design and implement location-specific models across key sectors.
Our approach ensures communities can adapt and prosper sustainably while contributing to climate resilience and environmental conservation.
Our Approach
Our climate-smart livelihood initiatives are built on three core principles that ensure sustainable and equitable impact.
Gender-Smart Solutions
We prioritize the design of livelihoods that specifically empower women and other marginalized groups, recognizing their crucial role in community resilience and economic development.
Scalable Models
We develop pilot projects with inherent potential for growth and replication across different regions and communities, ensuring our impact can extend far beyond initial interventions.
Location-Specific Design
Our livelihood initiatives are deeply rooted in the unique ecological, social, and economic contexts of each region, ensuring relevance, acceptance, and long-term viability.
Key Sectors
We focus on developing climate-smart livelihoods across three key sectors that offer significant potential for sustainable economic growth.
Agriculture
Sustainable farming practices that improve yields while building climate resilience.
Tourism
Eco-tourism initiatives that generate income while protecting natural ecosystems.
Handicrafts
Traditional crafts using sustainable materials and practices.
Building Resilient Communities
Our climate-smart livelihood programs reduce gender disparities and enhance economic independence while building climate resilience.
By recognizing that "one size does not fit all," we ensure our initiatives are deeply rooted in the unique contexts of each region, promoting acceptance and long-term viability.
