FORECCSA+ - Strengthening Community Resilience to the Adverse Effects of Climate Change with an Emphasis on Food Security and Gender Considerations in Priority Areas of Ecuador
Green Climate Fund SAP069 project in Ecuador, known as FORECCSA+, aimed at strengthening community resilience to the adverse effects of climate change, with an emphasis on food security and gender considerations. The project will be implemented by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), as Accredited Entity and Executing Entity, in coordination with the Government of Ecuador through the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MAE), the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAGP), the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (INAMHI), and the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INIAP). The initiative seeks to reduce climate risks in 115 parishes across 11 provinces through the implementation of adaptation measures, strengthened production systems, improved market access, expanded sustainable financing opportunities, and stronger territorial governance mechanisms. The project scales up the previous FORECCSA experience from 2011-2018 and prioritizes vulnerable rural populations, women, youth, small producers, bio-enterprises and local governments.
Sustainable intensification of production in Central America
Regional technical cooperation project focused on the sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Central American Dry Corridor through the incorporation of sorghum genotypes and other forage cereals adapted to different environments. The project aims to increase productivity, sustainability, and resilience of production systems through climate and soil characterization, genotype evaluation, development of an online platform with recommendations, and knowledge transfer to farmers, agricultural technicians, advisors, and students.
Second Rural Productive Partnerships Project - Colombia
The project strengthened productive alliances between smallholder rural producer organizations and private agribusiness buyers through subproject financing combining technical assistance, productive asset investment, and business development training to improve market access. Its objective was to increase rural competitiveness and agricultural entrepreneurship in poor rural communities through a demand-driven scheme anchored in private sector engagement. The project incorporated explicit inclusion mechanisms targeting women, indigenous communities, and Afro-Colombians within agricultural value chains.

Integrating sorghum cultivation into agricultural systems in the Central American Dry Corridor
The project establishes a regional partnership for the sustainable intensification of the Dry Corridor through the integration of climate-resilient sorghum and forage crop genotypes. Through soil characterization and a digital recommendation platform, the project aims to increase productivity and water availability in vulnerable agricultural systems. The initiative, funded by the Government of New Zealand (GRA), will transfer technical knowledge and precision technology to producers, advisors, and students in the region.
Sustainable artisanal fisheries and bio-businesses for food security with market access in the Peru–Colombia Border Integration Zone
Sustainable artisanal fisheries and bio-businesses for food security with market access in the Peru–Colombia Border Integration Zone is a binational technical cooperation initiative in the Putumayo River basin aimed at strengthening sustainable artisanal fishing and food security. It promotes cross-border governance through a binational roundtable, diagnostics and monitoring campaigns focused on water quality and fish species of commercial interest. It supports fisheries value-chain bio-businesses through awareness and technical training, financial education, technical assistance, formulation of business models and non-reimbursable equipment support, plus binational fairs and strategic commercial alliances. It also includes community food security plans, training in good food practices, field schools and collective solutions for access to safe water such as collection, filtration and storage. The initiative is implemented in Peru and Colombia over 24 months, financed by the Colombia–Peru Border Integration Zone Development Fund, with a required start in September 2025.
