African farmers are not passive victims of climate change
Eastern Kenya proves smallholder farmers are first implementers of climate resilience, land restoration, biodiversity protection and rural prosperity. The post African farmers are not passive victims of climate change appeared first on KBC Digital .
In July 2024, Kenyan farmers in the Embu and Tharaka Nithi regions were compensated for their efforts in planting and maintaining trees. The payments were made directly to their mobile phones, totaling Ksh12,237,467 (USD$94,135). On average, each farmer received KES 5,500 (USD$42) for a year's worth of work. This successful implementation highlights that global climate finance can effectively reach smallholder farmers in Africa, a critical point for delegates attending the COP31 conference in November.
