Date & Time

Selected Sessions:

Description
FARA and AGRA have been driving efforts towards strengthening regional and national level youth actors within the climate change and food systems efforts in recent times through various projects and initiatives. FARA and AGRA have developed and run various continental youth convening with the Young Professionals for Agricultural Research and Development (YPARD) and other continental youth networks. With this project, FARA in collaboration with AGRA seeks to identify income opportunities and at the same time support in providing innovative opportunities amid climate change for the youth to be able to create jobs and generate income. This calls for partnership with the sub-regional AR4D organizations, youth and youth climate networks across the 11 focal countries of AGRA. The main objective is to support the implementation of youth-friendly climate policies and to develop the capacity of the youth to boost climate adaptation and mitigation capacities, contributing to building sustainable and climate-resilient farming systems as well as identify job opportunities for the youth.
