Climate Crowd on the ground

The Climate Crowd initiative uses community-collected data to co-design and implement resilience projects in rural areas. This report highlights projects in Madagascar, Zimbabwe, and Kenya focusing on livelihood diversification, water security, and the reduction of human-wildlife conflict.

• Climate Crowd employs a methodology where local partners are trained to collect data via key informant surveys, which the Climate Crowd team then analyzes to co-design and implement projects that address specific climate vulnerabilities.
• In Madagascar, a project in the Ankoba community established seaweed farming and beekeeping to create sustainable alternative livelihoods, aiming to reduce pressure on fisheries and address crop failures caused by unreliable rainfall.
• A project in the Hwange District of Zimbabwe addressed water insecurity and deforestation by installing a 5,000-liter rainwater harvesting system, upgrading a borehole pump to solar power, installing drip irrigation, and providing 15 fuel-efficient cookstoves.
• In Kenya's Mara Siana Conservancy, efforts to reduce human-wildlife conflict over water and pasture included the rehabilitation of a water pan and the installation of four rainwater harvesting systems in two primary schools, improving water access for 1,500 people.
