The objective of the pilot is to enhance climate security among rural communities in the north coastal strip of Egypt’s Nile Delta by increasing and diversifying employment opportunities and income sources for women and youth and enhancing climate resilience of agricultural and aquaculture practices.

Misr el-Kheir has been contracted to implement climate security activities in local communities in the Nile Delta, focused on enhancing and climate-proofing local livelihoods in light of desalination, rising sea levels and increasingly frequent droughts. Proposed activities were identified based on local consultations and

assessments triangulated with the requests of communities with a focus on solar energy, protected cultivation, enhanced post-harvest value chains, and salt-tolerant crops and fodders.
