Women & girls spend 200 million hours each year fetching water, time that could mean school, farming, leadership, or rest. With the right investments, these lost hours can be transformed into opportunities. Learn how: on.cgiar.org/3KDWZGd @CGIAR @Inga_JM #ClimateFinance

In Chibombo district, #Zambia, bundles of climate-smart innovations such as drought-tolerant seeds, drip irrigation and practices like mulching, are boostings yields and incomes for farmers, including Joseph Sibanda and Caroline Mwanza whose farms we visited recently. Their successes are a vivid example of what is possible when small-scale farmers have access to climate-smart innovations and the knowledge and skills to use them.

Today the ambitious #NISIPKe was launched which will improve irrigation to 1.7 million acres. Every $ invested in irrigation is a $ invested in adaptation. @IWMI_ is excited to work with partners to strengthen the enabling environment for scaling #FLID in Kenya. #NISIPLaunch
