© Helvetas/Patric R.

Helvetas support Wag-Himra Zone smallholder farmers in building resilience capacity, increasing production and developing businesses. Wag-Himra Zone is food insecure, owned by degraded land and heavily impacted in shortage of rain. Due to climate change the area is affected by severe drought, deforestation, low productivity and poor capacity to confront the climate change. WH-CARD II is aiming to build the resilient capacity and increasing the production through climate smart agriculture practices.
