Facilitation of a consultation workshop on resilient agricultural production Ecuador

Context of the service

EUROCLIMA+ aims to support Latin American countries in the implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. With a budget of €80 million, it is divided into five components. Component 4. Resilient food production, with a budget of €10 million over three years, is coordinated by Expertise France (technical assistance) and GIZ (calls for projects).

At the time of the mission, component 4 was in the process of being defined. Several dialogue sessions had been conducted with the 18 countries of the region concerned, in order to identify priority themes.
