YFCA’s interventions to address climate change impact

This report shows YFCA’s climate-resilient interventions in various sectors as its effort towards building community resilience and sustaining its intervention under increased climate threats. On the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) front, YFCA tackled water shortages and infrastructure vulnerability by employing cutting-edge, climate-smart interventions. Through the Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) programme, YFCA prioritized resilience building by rehabilitating agricultural infrastructure, such as irrigation canals and constructing gabions and flood-protection structures to prevent soil.

YFCA also established rainwater harvesting facilities and delivered sustainable agriculture training, equipping farmers with climate-smart agriculture practices and livestock management to maximize productivity and reduce rain-fed farming. Additionally, YFCA integrates climate considerations into the Education and Protection sector by raising climate awareness in schools, improving disaster preparedness, and advocating for the protection of vulnerable groups disproportionately affected by climate change. In the Health and Nutrition sector, YFCA promotes climate-resilient health services by installing solar power systems in health facilities, improving medical waste management, and enhancing community health awareness to mitigate climate-related health risks.
