Description

The workshop focused on climate adaptation in farming communities, with special attention to the role of women in Yemeni agriculture. Strategies for training farmers and developing communities' capacity to rapidly adapt to changing climate and weather patterns were discussed. The main purpose was to provide a forum to discuss immediate action feasible under the present circumstances and identify potential sites for pilot projects that can serve as models for larger scale capacity-building that takes into account local specificities, as well as to map synergies with ongoing work and possible partners for the pilot projects.
