A Cash for Work Initiative in support of the introduction and adoption of Zaï practises, complementeci by Cash Transfers for households “in crisis“ during the lean season

The BRES-CFFEWP project (BRACED) of the Welthungerhilfe consortium does not have any contingency fund or any specific activity to deal with emergencies, and to manage disasters or slow onset crises. PHASE funding would therefore provide the opportunity to mitigate negative effects associated with slow onset fond insecurity in the project area, whilst the consortium is still working on strengthening farmers‘ adaptive capacity. In practical terms Welthungerhilfe envisages doing so through a Cash for Work initiative in support of the introduction of Zaï and composting practices by project beneficiaries in the run-up to the rainy season and through unconditional cash transfers to the most vulnerable people (both project beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries) during the lean season.
