RIDE-AFRICA supports communities to adapt to the increasing climate change and participation in protecting natural resources through promotion of climate-smart agricultural practices, waste disposal management, renewable energy, and disaster preparedness. Women, children and other vulnerable groups are trained in sustainable agriculture to improve food security and income, plant trees, campaign for clean water, and environmental awareness. Community groups are supported to integrate the use of energy-saving stoves, local food flasks, agroforestry, and small-scale renewable energy in their activities. Other interventions include supporting communities around protected areas to reduce human wildlife conflict. By linking gender, climate, and community action, these efforts have strengthened resilience, reduced risks, and created safer, more sustainable communities
