Description

Description The R4 Rural Resilience Initiative (R4) is a comprehensive risk management approach to help communities be more resilient to climate variability and shocks. Currently active in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Senegal, Zambia and Zimbabwe, R4 reached 57,000 farmers in 2017. Our vision: 500, 000 insured farmers by 2020.
Objectives 500,000 insured farmers by 2020
Activities R4 builds on the success of the Horn of Africa Risk Transfer for Adaptation (HARITA) project in Ethiopia. It gives poor farmers and rural households the option to pay for insurance by contributing their time and labour to local climate adaptation measures, such as soil and water conservation, crop irrigation and community forestry.
