Rural Ethiopian women diversify livelihoods and boost entire communities’ climate resilience
The Market Approaches to Resilience (MAR) project (2015-19) in rural Ethiopia enhanced climate resilience for pastoralist communities by combining microfinance services with natural resource management. By intentionally targeting women for financial empowerment, the project created a 'multiplier effect' that improved household wellbeing and reduced the necessity for long-distance migration during droughts. The project reached 188,902 people and emphasized that systemic resilience requires long-term funding and the creation of a supportive institutional environment.
