Le projet soutient les communautés locales d'Afrique subsaharienne, en particulier les femmes et les jeunes, dans la mise en œuvre de solutions fondées sur la nature pour l'adaptation aux changements climatiques en utilisant le vaste réseau radiophonique de Radios rurales internationales et ses approches innovantes pour concevoir, produire et diffuser des émissions radiophoniques locales, interactives et sensibles au genre. Les Séries radio à grand impact sont associées à 20 stations de radio pour produire des émissions au Burkina Faso, en Côte d'Ivoire, en Éthiopie, au Ghana, en Ouganda et en Zambie. Le projet vise à garantir un environnement propice, juste et sensible au genre pour les solutions fondées sur la nature afin d'aider les communautés locales à répondre à leurs besoins d'adaptation aux changements climatiques. Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) l’engagement avec des spécialistes de l'adaptation aux changements climatiques, des parties prenantes dans les pays ciblés, des groupes de défense des droits des femmes et des partenaires experts pertinents aux communautés ciblées pour recueillir les besoins exprimés des communautés en matière d'adaptation aux changements climatiques et diriger leurs priorités de contenu; 2) concevoir, produire et diffuser des séries radiophoniques interactives à fort impact et sensibles au genre afin d'élargir considérablement l'accès à l'information sur les solutions fondées sur la nature pour l'adaptation aux changements climatiques dans toute l'Afrique subsaharienne; 3) créer un dialogue avec le public canadien pour l'informer des besoins d'adaptation des pays d'Afrique subsaharienne et sur la façon dont les solutions fondées sur la nature peuvent faire partie de la solution. Ce projet vise à atteindre 50 000 personnes qui interagiront avec les programmes au moins un million de fois et à atteindre un public potentiel combiné d'au moins huit millions de personnes vivant en milieu rural au cours de ce projet. Des outils et des connaissances, y compris les Séries radio à grand impact, seront partagés avec plus de 200 stations de radio dans 20 à 25 autres pays d'Afrique subsaharienne, augmentant ainsi la portée du projet à une audience combinée estimée à au moins 25 millions de personnes en Afrique subsaharienne. De plus, le programme d'éducation et d'engagement du public au Canada vise à rejoindre 300 000 Canadiens.
The project supports local sub-Saharan African communities, particularly women and youth, in implementing nature-based solutions for climate adaptation using Farm Radio International’s wide radio network and its innovative approaches to design, produce and air gender-responsive, interactive and local radio programs. The High Impact Radio Series partners with 20 radio stations to produce broadcasts in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Uganda and Zambia. The project aims to ensure a just and gender-responsive enabling environment for nature-based solutions to help local communities address their climate adaptation needs. Project activities include: (1) engaging with climate adaptation specialists, in-country stakeholders, women-led rights groups and relevant knowledge partners in the targeted communities to extract content priorities relevant to their expressed climate change adaptation needs; (2) designing, producing and airing the gender-responsive, interactive High-Impact Radio Series to significantly expand access to information about nature-based solutions for climate adaptation across sub-Saharan Africa; and (3) engaging with the Canadian public to inform them about the adaptation needs of countries in sub-Saharan Africa and how nature-based solutions can be part of the solution. This project aims to reach 50,000 individuals to engage with the programs at least one million times and reach a combined potential audience of at least eight million rural people over the project`s duration.. Tools and knowledge, including the High Impact Radio Series, will be shared with over 200 radio stations in an additional 20-25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, increasing the project`s reach to a combined estimated audience of at least 25 million people across sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, the public education and engagement program aims to reach 300,000 Canadians.
