In Ethiopia, Colombia, and Mongolia, women farmers are leading inclusive climate action through the FAO-UNDP SCALA programme. Their expertise is influencing national policy, such as certifying Indigenous women as climate experts in Colombia and incorporating gender-responsive targets in Mongolia's agricultural budgets.
SCALA (2021–2028) is a €26 million initiative aimed at enhancing climate resilience in over 20 countries, funded by Germany's Federal Ministry for the Environment. Learn more about the programme at FAO.
Somalia is highly vulnerable to climate change, experiencing severe droughts and flooding that disrupt agriculture and livestock, leading to displacement and food insecurity. In response, the FAO, supported by the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), has implemented climate-resilient interventions benefiting 5,700 households in Beletweyne and Baidoa districts.
This video showcases these efforts in Baidoa, focusing on saving lives, sustaining livelihoods, and reducing displacement during ongoing drought conditions. Subscribe to the FAO channel here.
In response to the August 2025 earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, the FAO, through the French Initiative for Food Security and Nutrition (FIFSAN), is assisting over 3,000 households to restore livelihoods and enhance food security and nutrition. Utilizing a One Health approach, the FAO provides cash assistance, livestock protection, and home gardening packages, all designed with a focus on nutrition.
The project promotes the production and consumption of nutrient-rich foods, such as eggs and vegetables, while offering training on dietary diversity and animal health. This initiative aims to improve nutrition outcomes and resilience, particularly for women, children under five, and pregnant and lactating women.

In Myanmar, nearly one-third of the population is facing acute food insecurity due to conflict and displacement, which disrupts livelihoods. The FAO, with support from the Myanmar Humanitarian Fund, is providing life-saving assistance to vulnerable households to help restore food production.
FAO has started distributing agricultural kits and offering technical assistance for home gardening. An investment of just USD 40 in an agricultural kit allows a household to produce approximately 120 kg of vegetables, valued at USD 175 in the local market. For farming households, agriculture is essential for survival.
