Location: Zambia

Years active: 2000–present

Key agricultural climate risks: Increasingly dry landscapes, drought

Gender-responsive LLA activities: Supporting women in decision-making roles, codesigning activities with women, integrating women farmers’ needs through a community-owned approach to develop sustainable food systems, elevating local women’s traditional knowledge sharing through storytelling

Gender outcomes: Enhanced financial independence of women, participation of women in traditionally male-held community committee roles
