Nature Positive Food Systems for Climate Change Adaptation (Nature+) is a Canadian Foodgrains Bank program to scale up nature-based solutions, enhance climate-resilient livelihoods, and enable women and other vulnerable people in communities—and their landscapes— to adapt to climate change.
As one of the technical supporting partners in the Nature+ program, the Anglican Development Services Pwani (ADS Pwani), supported by the World Renew Kenya, is providing Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) technical training to Nature+ implementing partners. In Kenya, support is being provided to NCCK Kenya, Fadhili Trust Kenya, UDO Kenya, ADRA Kenya. While in Ethiopia and Mozambique, trainings will be conducted with TDA Ethiopia and ADRA Mozambique, respectively.
PRA is a methodology that empowers the community members to critic themselves about their resources, issues, analyze, plan and act to improve their living standards. It further, empowers the community members to own their affairs and take lead to address their community needs. PRA process has the involvement and participation of the community members at all levels of project cycle for purposes of ownership and sustainable development. The training focuses on (i) attitude change (ii) tools for situation analysis, and (iii) envisioning of the life aspects. Additionally, implementing partners will be engaged in workshops aimed at developing community action plans; forming community structures; developing future maps; and identifying and analyzing stakeholders.
