Dear Moderators & Colleagues,
Submitting our learnings from the IDRC-funded ASEAN Green Recovery through Equity and Empowerment (AGREE) project. The project supports low-carbon transition and gender-responsive climate adaptation strategies within agricultural value chains, focusing on rice, vegetables, and yellow corn commodities in Viet Nam, Cambodia and the Philippines respectively. The selection of commodities of focus was based on several contextual considerations on those commodities that are most affected by the adverse effects of climate change, potential to promote women’s economic empowerment, and relevant complementary actions in those countries. The project adopted an action research approach, generating various research outputs to understand opportunities, and barriers to economic opportunities and pandemic-recovery strategies that are both gender-inclusive and climate-positive. Research findings were used to influence activities in Cambodia and the Philippines, focusing on empowering women and promoting climate-smart investments in vegetable and yellow corn value chains through capacity-building efforts to address technology and knowledge gaps.
The write up below showcases learnings and findings from pilot activities in the Philippines. To know more about in-country initiatives of the Philippines for the AGREE project, refer to this link.
