Getting climate funding to grassroots level
Rural communities in the global South are often all
too familiar with the adverse effects of climate change on their land and livelihoods, yet only 10 percent of global funds reach the local level with just 1.7
percent accessible to locally controlled organizations. It is time for grassroots organizations to take their place as required beneficiaries and accredited partners for external climate finance.
New toolkit for forest and farm producer organizations
This toolkit provides apex producer organizations with a series of steps to set themselves up to access climate finance in their particular country. It also offers a brief overview of climate resilience practices that forest and farm
producers can pursue.
New policy brief on local climate resilience finance
This briefing calls on donors to recognize locally controlled organizations as a force for climate resilience
- globally as well as locally
- and support scaling up their approach of helping millions of members through collective investments.

Sweet success for Bolivian beekeepers
The
Association of Beekeepers of the Department of Santa Cruz in Bolivia helped honey producers meet the massive increase in demand for honey by training indigenous women groups to manage
Apis and Melipona bees, by securing special permits to harvest additional honey and by ensuring fair market price of certified honey.
How grassroots groups tackle the pandemic head on
Across the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has turned the lives of rural farmers upside down. However, grassroots organizations have adapted to the pandemic and found innovative ways to
help their members.
