The Climate resilience in selected value chains is enhanced by

• • Familiarising small farmers with climate-resilient production methods
  • Training companies purchasing and processing agricultural good to promote and disseminate cultivation methods adapted to climate change.
  • Familiarising the public and private sector with the issue of climate resilience and fostering the nationwide dialogue
  • Processing national experiences and making them available on a regional level

GIZ CRAS focuses on „Strengthening the resilience of poor population groups to climate change in selected ASEAN states, taking special account of the impact of COVID-19 in Cambodia and Viet Nam“. The project is cooperating with the Ministry of Agri-culture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) in Cambodia and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) in Viet Nam. CRAS is designed to support value chain actors in particular smallholder farmers of cassava and cashew in Cambodia, as well as coffee (farmers) in Viet Nam.
The project is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) from March 2021 to February 2024 with a contribution of up to six Million Euro.

• Improving the competence of smallholder famers concerning the application of climate resilient practices.
• Improving cooperation between producer and private sector actors, under the consideration of climate resilient production aspects.
• Strengthening the technical capacity of public and private sector stakeholders concerning climate resilience.
• Informing public and private sector stakeholders on scalable measures on climate resilience, in the selected value chains.
