Ouémé Basin Climate-Resilience Initiative (OCRI) Benin
Ouémé Basin Climate-Resilience Initiative (OCRI) Benin
The local food systems of the upper and middle Ouémé Basin in Benin, the main food basket of the country, is highly vulnerable to climate change due to intense and frequent extreme weather events, mainly flash floods and droughts. These extreme climate events directly impact the productivity of the food systems, which translates into further challenges resulting in poverty and food insecurity of the local population.
The project aims to address these climate impacts, by bringing adaptation solutions to the agricultural production system in the basin. The project will build resilience for poor and vulnerable smallholders, scale up prioritised climate-resilient agriculture and low emission agroforestry practices, build waterworks to reduce soil erosion and run-off, and overall improve land and water management in the target areas.
