This project will support the establishment of a certification scheme for the portfolio of Inclusive Finance Service Providers (IFSP) dedicated to finance practices and technologies supporting climate change adaptation and resilience impacts for smallholder farmers and rural communities. Such intervention will generate trust by investors and hence enable relocation of existing financial flow, as well as attracting new financial flow, towards climate change adaptation for smallholder farmers and rural communities.

The project will focus its intervention on Financial Service Providers (FSPs) that are financing the implementation or maintenance of technologies and practices by small-scale producers, or rural communities / value chain stakeholders, that support climate change adaptation.
