The new project, titled ‘Building Climate Resilience and Reintegrating Economically Displaced Workers through Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) in the Terai Flood Plain, Nepal (2022-2025)’ – hereafter KOICA CSA project – will support widespread adoption of climate-smart agriculture to reduce vulnerability and improve food and job security, especially for women, youth, and returned migrant workers.
