Unlocking climate finance for Kenya’s women dairy farmers

Abstract

Key takeaways

- Women dairy farmers in Kenya face growing climate risks but often cannot access the finance needed to adapt and protect their livelihoods.
- A recent gathering brought together farmers, other stakeholders, and finance partners to explore ways to develop digital lending tools and gender-focused finance.
- A proposed climate finance consortium could connect farmers, lenders, cooperatives, and researchers to expand access to suitable climate investments.
