The FORECCSA+ project is a scaling-up initiative designed to strengthen community resilience to climate change in Ecuador, specifically targeting the Food Sovereignty, Agriculture, Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries (SAG) sector. With a total investment of $35,667,034 USD, the project aims to benefit 347,482 direct and 630,377 indirect beneficiaries across 11 provinces. The program is structured around three outcomes: implementing adaptation measures and climate services, improving market access and financial inclusion for rural producers (especially women and youth), and strengthening local governance and territorial planning. It builds on the 2011–2018 FORECCSA project, integrating lessons on participatory decision-making and gender-responsive implementation to address structural barriers such as limited finance, technological gaps, and insecure land tenure for women.
