The programme’s goal is to build the resilience of vulnerable households, families, and communities’ population to food and nutrition insecurity in The Gambia and the Sahel as a whole. The project in The Gambia aims to enable the beneficiaries resist shock of acute food, respond effectively, and adapt sustainably to climate change by the development of stock breeding, irrigation schemes and regional markets for agricultural and livestock inputs and products. Specifically, the project seeks to eliminate the structural causes of acute and chronic food and nutrition crises by increasing household agricultural productivity, production and incomes, gain access to infrastructure and basic social services that build a heritage that strengthens population’s livelihoods in a sustainable manner.
