Approaches to Resilience
- 04/01/2016
A factsheet is now downloadable on the Market Approaches to Resilience (MAR), an innovative three year programme that will test market-based approaches to improving the resilience of vulnerable pastoralist and agro-pastoralist households to climate change in the Afar, SNNP and Somali regions.
The MAR programme will support households, businesses and communities in better managing their resources and everyday risks. It will work with private investors to address climate risks by promoting appropriate economic opportunities, and designing financial models that help smooth risk. It will also stimulate the appropriate diversification of economic activity among the most vulnerable, through public and private sector partnerships.
