The aim is to improve household food security, by working with families to increase their incomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">This will be achieved through the sale of production surpluses and products resulting from agricultural diversification and the adoption of good nutritional practices. More generally, the project will also seek to strengthen the resilience of these households to the impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">These project aims were developed to address two main challenges: The first challenge is land degradation. Essential for agricultural production, land degradation has been made worse by human actions and climate change. This presents a huge threat to food and nutrition security. The second challenge is to work together with internally displaced persons, so that they are able to live with dignity after fleeing conflict, and being forced to abandon their livelihood source, including crops and animals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">To address these challenges, Self Help Africa and Irish Aid will work together to both increase the resilience of households to the worst impacts of climate change, and to support the reconstruction of livelihoods for internally displaced persons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>Beneficiaries: 2,265 direct\/ households, 22,650 indirect <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e28189-e30 mlr1-3 mlr1-4 mlr1-9\" id=\"sustin-africa\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e28189-e31 mlr1-a\" id=\"sustin-africa\"><h4  class=\"h-custom-headline h4\" ><span>Sustainable intensification of food production through resilient farming systems in West &amp; North Africa (SustIn Africa)  <\/span><\/h4><hr class=\"x-line e28189-e33 mlr1-h mlr1-i\"\/><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #6cc32e;\"><b>Objective: <\/b><\/span>To empower West and North African smallholder farmers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and national associations and influencing governments and inter-governmental organisations to successfully intensify food production in a self-sufficient, sustainable and resilient manner.<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sustinafrica.com\/\">SustIn Africa<\/a> is a research project empowering West and North African smallholder farmers, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to facilitate the sustainable intensification of food production through resilient farming systems in West and North Africa.
