Recognising that there is a considerable body of work that has been done in defining, identifying and developing nature-based solutions (NBS), Farm Radio will engage an NBS subject matter expert as a link to the existing and emerging NBS community and provide expert knowledge on nature based climate solutions to the project. Nature-based solutions is a relatively new field for Farm Radio. The successful candidate may work in one of these countries. Farm Radio has offices in each of Uganda, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ethiopia and a strategic partnership in Zambia. There are six focus countries – Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Ethiopia, Uganda and Zambia.

It will offer a means for local communities (particularly women and youth) to identify and express their adaptation needs, expand access to NBS information across Sub-Saharan Africa support rural communities in learning about, customizing and applying NBS for climate adaptation and raise Canadian awareness of, and engagement with these solutions. This project will help to create a common understanding of climate change, in particular how nature-based solutions can be used to address climate adaptation needs and enhance or protect biodiversity. The project will use Farm Radio’s interactive local radio programming to achieve enhanced rural community action on climate change adaptation and biodiversity using locally-relevant, gender-inclusive nature-based solutions. In April 2022, Farm Radio began implementation of a 5-year, multi-country project about gender inclusive nature-based climate solutions (NBS) with financing from Global Affairs Canada. FRI is committed to gender equality and inclusion (GEI) as we are well-placed to facilitate ongoing dialogue to contribute to the transformation of inequitable gender norms and relations of power and the advancement of human rights, especially those of women. Together with broadcasting and project partners, we help increase access for tens of millions of small-scale farmers and people in rural areas across the continent to life-changing information and facilitate strengthening and amplifying their voices in their own development. Farm Radio International, a Canadian non-profit organization, enables African rural communities to meet their rights to information and communication through the innovative use of radio, mobile phones, other digital tools and traditional face-to-face methods.
