Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme
01.12.2013
- 31.12.2015
Launched by IFAD in 2012, the Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP) aims at improving by 2020 the resilience to climate change of 8 million people who are living in poor smallholder farming communities. It will do so by delivering grants ranging between USD 3 and 15 millions to IFAD projects, where resilience is fully integrated into the wider IFAD country programme or project. ASAP is also expected to deliver co-benefits in terms of carbon sequestration and reduction in net emissions from agriculture, and to reduce the pressure on conversion of forests to agriculture use.
