Water is life! In UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme)'s ongoing projects across Iraq, access to clean water is a critical step in ensuring sustainable recovery for conflict-affected communities. Since 2023, with the support of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Japan - The Government of Japan, we've restored clean water access to 43,000+ people through the construction and rehabilitation of potable water networks and wells. By collaborating with the Ministry of Water Resources, we are advancing efforts to improve water efficiency and access across Iraq.

📢 Exciting announcement: Launch of a new #climatefinance initiative in Tanzania! Could access to finance be the catalyst for adopting sustainable practices and empowering smallholder farmers to lead the transition to a more sustainable food system? 🌱🌾 In Tanzania, we are already working with #EcosystemEquity and #TARI on an innovative project in partnership with CRDB Bank Plc, a commercial bank, to pilot a climate finance mechanism that provides loans with environmental conditions to farmers who adopt sustainable rice farming practices. By adopting #sustainablepractices, farmers can significantly reduce costs, increase crop yields and improve their #financialstability, mitigating the perceived risks that financial institutions often associate with the agricultural sector. 🎉 While CRDB has disbursed the first loans, we're pleased to announce that in 2024 we will launch a complementary project, funded by #UKAID under the Reversing Environmental Degradation in Africa and Asia (REDAA) programme, to pilot a #microfinance climate lending mechanism to extend financial support to farmers who are deemed ineligible for traditional bank support. 🤝 Another local partner, TIMAP Tanzania, a NGOs supporting grassroots Community Microfinance Groups (CMGs), is involved in this adventure. Together with TARI, which provides training in the adoption of Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) standards and technical assistance from Ecoystem Equity, Rikolto will manage the project and ensure the link to the market. Our ultimate goal is to provide irrefutable evidence and a compelling #businesscase that investing in sustainability is a strategic move that benefits all actors in the rice value chain (and the planet!). 📩 Keep up to date with our progress by subscribing to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/ez7sedKe Catur Utami Dewi Charlotte Flechet djalou franco
