The overall goal is to enable poor farmers and other food‐insecure households in Michael Debir, a village in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, to manage weather vulnerability and improve their livelihoods.

This project aims to scale the integrated risk management framework piloted in the Tigray region of Ethiopia to the Amhara region. The project will pilot a unique insurance‐for‐work model, where the poorest farmers, who participate in a government–run food and cash‐for‐ work initiative, known as the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP), are able to pay for insurance through their labor on long‐term risk reduction projects that are identified through participatory vulnerability assessments. Under the project, 30 Savings Groups will be established and monitored and 450 farmers will be insured

The initiative will pilot an innovative comprehensive risk management program aimed at reducing risk, transferring risk, increasing risk reserves and providing a mechanism for prudent risk taking.

The overall goal is to address food security needs and improve livelihoods by supporting 66 woman SHGs/VSLAs providing microbusiness development training, technical support for construction of cooperative, rice banks, water wells and home gardens.

Increased capacity of 66 SHGs through improved involvement, savings/credit, group leadership and their ability to voice their needs in the communities. Also focus is on increasing the capacity of the local partner to implement and disseminate experience.

The background of the project was that ADDA, as part of its Integrated Women's Empowerment Project that had helped to establish 146 women groups, however, about 66 groups were still rather weak and new.
