👩🌾 Women make up over 50% of the agricultural labor force in Sub-Saharan Africa but still face huge challenges? Their farms are often smaller and less productive, and they struggle to access essential resources. 💡 The Farm to Market Alliance, the Grameen Foundation and #TeamBayer are stepping in to support these women. By closing the gender gap in farm productivity, we could boost global GDP and help millions escape food insecurity. What changes would you like to see to support women in agriculture?

Women like Dharmishtaben are highly engaged in agriculture in rural economies. Yet they often lack access to #FinancialServices that could help them cope with the impacts of climate change. 🌾 CGAP partner SEWA empowers women entrepreneurs through #FinancialInclusion. Here, Dharmishtaben explains how emergency supplies and financial education helped her recover from climate change shocks, build resilience and rebuild for a better future. Watch Dharmishtaben’s story 👇🏼

#Inclusivefinance is absolutely essential for climate adaptation and resilience. The story of Dharmishtaben shows the extreme vulnerability of low income people to #climate change, as a single catastrophic event can wipeout income and investment alike. Her example also shows that access to inclusive financial services, including savings and emergency credit, can provide a lifeline in the face of climate shocks. CGAP’s global research has, however, underlined the near-total scarcity of inclusive financial services designed to address the climate needs of low income people. As people living in poverty will unavoidably suffer increasing climate-related shocks, filling in this gap is a critical priority to support the grassroot climate adaptation needs of poor people. Therefore, at CGAP we believe that inclusive finance must be an integral part of the global climate response!

📊 Despite their leadership and impact in addressing environmental crises, women, gender-diverse groups, and Indigenous peoples remain underrepresented and underfunded. Without their active participation, any solution to the climate crises and current emergencies will fall short. #SeedsForHarvest, our latest report from Prospera International Network of Women's Funds, the Global Greengrants Fund, the Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN), and the Global Alliance For Green And Gender Action (GAGGA), provides a powerful understanding of the state of funding for gender, climate, and environmental justice work while underscores the imperative to galvanize political will and financial commitment to movements in the Global South and East. Through data analysis, case studies, and identifying trends and opportunities, our new publication signposts the progress made by those critical to the landscape. Most importantly, it emphasizes the enabling environment and heightened potential for the feminist philanthropic ecosystem to strengthen and collaborate at the intersection of gender, climate, and the environment, develop common narratives, and advance joint political framings. While direct funding is a critical aspect, so is bringing people together to generate greater opportunities for strategizing and building a collective analysis that provides a multiplicity of approaches to the challenges that climate emergencies hold for us all. 👉 Explore the Key Findings of Seeds for Harvest below or download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dt3XfEXF
