Our Project: Rural Women’s Pivotal Role in Addressing the Challenges of Climate Change

As the impacts of climate change intensify, particularly water scarcity, recurring droughts and the growing vulnerability of farming, rural women play a vital role in managing natural resources, ensuring food security and helping local communities withstand and adapt to these pressures.

Led by the Ain Lahjar Association for Rural Women’s Development in the Tangier–Tetouan–Al Hoceima region, the project takes an approach to climate adaptation grounded in field trials, women’s participation and local knowledge and expertise.

This pilot initiative aims to strengthen rural women’s skills and enable them to adopt sustainable farming practices, improve water management and play an active role in helping their communities cope with the impacts of climate change.
