REAP
REAP (Resilience Building, Economic Empowerment and Advocacy program)
The REAP programme strengthens community-based organizations (CBOs) through capacity building, improved leadership and governance, and advocacy. It promotes gender equality, social protection, and resilient, self-sustaining livelihoods, while enhancing market access through farmer field school approaches. Building on the achievements of the ASC DANIDA-funded programme, REAP focuses on the Karamoja sub-region—particularly Abim, Kotido, and Kaabong districts—while expanding to additional areas.
Key Objectives
- Improve livelihoods and resilience of marginalized communities, including climate adaptation
- Support small business growth and diversified income sources
- Enhance climate-smart agriculture among smallholder farmers
- Promote protection of women from gender-based violence (SDG 5)
- Strengthen respect for the rights of women and children
Key Results
