Collaborative Partnership With GFCCA: Empowering African Farmers for Climate Resilience
We are excited to announce a promising new partnership with the Global Foundation for Climate Change Africa (GFCCA), led by Moses Ojunju. GFCCA’s mission aligns perfectly with our efforts, as we both work to combat climate change, promote sustainable agriculture, and empower smallholder farmers across Africa. This partnership extends our collective impact into Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Senegal, and Rwanda, creating meaningful opportunities to restore ecosystems and enhance food security for local communities.
GFCCA empowers small-holder African farmers through regenerative agricultural practices and the integration of forest and farmland agroforestry systems. Their work fosters sustainable land management, combats climate change, and contributes to carbon sequestration. By improving food security and enhancing livelihoods, GFCCA provides critical education, resources, and training to communities in need.
Key Overlaps
Food Security: Both of our organizations aim to tackle food insecurity by employing agroforestry systems that integrate forests with farmlands. This approach not only increases crop yields but also helps restore degraded land, ensuring long-term sustainability.
Climate Action: GFCCA’s reforestation and agroforestry programs contribute to increasing forest cover, offsetting carbon emissions, and establishing carbon credit systems that benefit local farmers. This mirrors our commitment to creating scalable carbon trading platforms that link local action to global climate resilience.
Empowering Communities: By providing practical training and resources to smallholder farmers, both GFCCA and Collaborative for Change strive to uplift rural communities, giving them the tools to adapt to climate change while improving their livelihoods.
Year-Round Presence: This collaboration importantly provides boots on the ground year-round, ensuring that our projects and initiatives can continue to move forward even when direct travel to Africa is limited due to funding constraints. Having a constant presence on the ground allows us to adapt swiftly and provide ongoing support to the communities we serve.
Impact and Accomplishments of GFCCA:
2,000 acres of land restored
1.5 million trees planted
1,000 farmers trained
20,000 households impacted
As our collaboration grows, we aim to further integrate our missions, combining expertise and resources to increase our impact. The overlap in our work is not just a reflection of shared goals but a testament to the potential for scalable solutions in Africa. Together, we hope to expand agroforestry, develop sustainable agricultural models, and further promote carbon market initiatives that benefit both people and the planet.
Through this partnership, we believe we are taking a significant step forward in addressing the interconnected issues of climate change, food insecurity, and sustainable land management in Africa, with the added benefit of having a continuous presence on the ground to ensure long-term success.
