Small island developing states are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which can cause considerable damage to food systems, and in turn, to the ability of people to access safe, affordable food. For a country like the Maldives where ninety percent of food is imported, this type of food insecurity affects the most vulnerable members of population, particularly marginalized women and children.
Resilience is an essential attribute for a healthy food system. A resilient food system can be achieved by adopting nature-positive and sustainable approaches to innovate food systems for positive social and environmental impacts.
To help the cause, aspiring women entrepreneurs who have recently graduated with a degree or diploma in science, engineering or technology are eligible to join the Climate Certificate for Women in Resilient Food Systems in Maldives.
Climate Certificate for Women in Resilient Food Systems in Maldives is being implemented by Clean Maldives and Climate Collective Foundation. Climate Certificate for Women in Resilient Food Systems is supported by the Australian High Commission to Sri Lanka and Maldives through a Direct Aid Program Grant and hence, offered at no charge to the participants.
By joining this program, participants not only build business literacy, they will hone subject-matter knowledge through interactive workshops, case studies, and collaborative assignments, and gain exposure to global climate tech business models.
The last date for applications is 31st August 2022. For more information, visit this link.
