Introduction

Climate related financial risks have the potential to affect the safety and soundness of financial institutions and in return affect access to financial services and fair treatment of smallholder farmers.  

The Transforming Eastern Province through Adaptation (TREPA) program wants to support local financial institutions to diversify agricultural products to include short term and long-term loans and diversify the loan packages considering the needs of farmers, including informal groups, produce organisation (Cooperatives) and small medium enterprisers (SMEs), while stimulating climate resilient investment. The program wants to capacitate financial service providers to measure climate resilient impact in their monitoring systems and eventually link digitization to agri-lending tools, including climate sensitive risk monitoring systems and linking savings and lending to digital payment and information services and incentivising farmers and communities to take up climate adaptation interventions. Financial service providers will thereby increase their knowledge on the impact of climate change on their clients and learn from methods to adapt to climate change, thereby reduce financial risk, increase financial returns, and improve access to savings and credit for farmers engaged in diversified/climate resilient livelihood activities.   

TREPA is funded by Green Climate Fund and implemented by a consortium of 6 partners – IUCN (lead), Enabel, RFA, WV, ICRAF and Cordaid. The project includes a variety of components to promote climate adaptation and land restoration in Eastern Province, with Cordaid focusing on the cross-cutting need of access to finance.  This is done in close collaboration with all partners, and specifically ICRAF and WV who are responsible for supporting individuals, groups and coops to grow their climate resilient business. The following broad value chains were selected: agroforestry, beekeeping and fodder for livestock. Cordaid is responsible for the value chain finance assessment. 

Cordaid is a global, non-governmental development organization, whose mission is to end poverty and injustice. Cordaid works in the fields of climate resilience, food and income, private sector development. Our projects aim to strengthen households to generate more income from farming. Farmers are supported to increase the production of quality food to meet subsistence needs.
