The first assessment of the programme in Ethiopia shows that female participants are the ones obtaining the greatest gains in productivity. Now, two recent studies performed in Senegal further show how the programme is strengthening women’s ability to adapt to climate change. R4 helps them strengthen their families’ food security and livelihoods through a combination of risk management activities which reduce the impact of weather uncertainty, and the damage caused by disasters.
