The far western region of Nepal is the most under-developed part of Nepal. Majority of the population in this region relies on subsistence agriculture. Floods, landslides, drought and extreme temperatures associated with climate change are impacting the agricultural productivity of the region. Consequently, this area faces ongoing food insecurity, particularly affecting women and children of marginalized groups. Although the aid agencies are trying to mitigate agricultural issues associated with climate change by introducing climate smart technologies such as MUS, MIT, CA etc., the local population has been reluctant to adopt the new technologies. Moreover, the low productivity of land forces male member of the household to migrate in search of better livelihood options leaving the female members with extra burden of domestic as well as agriculture activities resulting in adverse effects in their health and nutrition. The Anukulan/BRACED project funded by UKAID aims in building resilience and adaptation of 500,000 poor and vulnerable people (especially women and children) to climate extremes and disaster through introduction and awareness of climate smart technologies such as MUS, MIT, IPM, CA, RE(Bio-gas) with majority of women taking leadership in it. Resilience is measured through 3 key indicators which are income, nutrition and women’s empowerment. The project focuses on 6 districts that are prone to climate extremes. The project run in collaboration with 4 national, 7 international and 6 district level partners. It is unquestionable that women play significant role in development of household, community and the nation. However, women’s engagement in the project has been an ongoing challenge given the deeply rooted patriarchal mentality of the Nepali society. Women are restricted to participate in such projects as women leadership is incomprehensible; they are often tagged as being clever and women are often compelled to suppress their voice and strength. The main aim of this paper is to emphasize women empowerment on climate smart agriculture in response to build resilience to climate extremes with reference to my professional and organization experience and also through some literature reviews.

The far western part of Nepal is the most under-developed region of the country. The majority of the population here relies on subsistence agriculture. Floods, landslides, drought and extreme temperatures associated with climate change are impacting the agricultural productivity of the region. Consequently, this area faces ongoing food insecurity, particularly affecting women and children of marginalized groups. Although the aid agencies are trying to mitigate agricultural issues associated with climate change by introducing climate smart technologies, such as Multi Water Use Systems (MUS), Multi Irrigation Technologies (MIT), Conservation Agriculture (CA) etc., the local population has been reluctant to adopt these. Moreover, the low productivity of land forces males to migrate in search of better livelihood options, leaving women to bear the extra burden of domestic and agricultural activities, resulting in adverse effects on their health and nutrition. The Anukulan-Building Resilience to Climate Change and Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) project funded by UKAID aims to create agricultural practices that are resilient in the face of climate change and natural disasters. Its target is 500,000 poor and vulnerable people (especially women and children) through the introduction and awareness generation about climate smart technologies.
