This Report investigates the climate resiliency and sustainability of agricultural practices across the SAC countries of focus. As the Report demonstrates, climate change will impact all SAC countries and all SAC sub-sectors. Furthermore, addressing climate change will require localized solutions on the ground that are inclusive of women and youth who will be disproportionately affected by climate change. The Report also makes several recommendations including; addressing the need for strategic engagement at a policy level, increased engagement and support for women and youth at a country and sub-sector level, and leveraging organisations and funds for a meaningful, game-changing impact for women and youth on the ground.
