The project strengthen food security, nutrition and resilience among households in rural Burundi. It directly targets around 2,900 households (approx. 17,000 people), primarily smallholder farmers, with a strong focus on women and youth. Participants are organised in 40 new RIPAT farmer groups and 60 new VSLAs, while 54 existing RIPAT groups and 225 VSLA groups are strengthened, and 30 VSLA federations established. The project combines climate-smart agriculture, financial inclusion and community-based advocacy. Farmers adopt improved practices through RIPAT groups and demonstration plots, while VSLAs enable savings, loans and income-generating activities. Nutrition is strengthened through Care Groups and Light Mothers. Communities are supported to engage local authorities through participatory planning and dialogue. The project is expected to improve food production, dietary diversity and household resilience, while strengthening sustainable community structures and local systems.
