Solar-powered irrigation. Vermicompost. Stronger harvests and stronger livelihoods.
Filmed in Batu, @gggi_hq Deputy Executive Director & Head of Green Growth Implementation Directorate, Dr. @MalleFofana explains how smallholder farmers in #Ethiopia’s Central Rift Valley are using climate-smart agriculture to grow more, earn more and build resilience to climate change.
He discusses how solar-powered irrigation and vermicompost production are improving food security and climate resilience, what the project has achieved, and why partnerships with government, communities and development partners are central to GGGI’s work in Ethiopia.
The project was funded by the @ItalyMFA_int & implemented by #GGGI in partnership with #E4Impact from Dec. 2023 - Dec. 2025.

For Ethiopian businesses, green investment is increasingly becoming a competitiveness, financing, resilience and market-access imperative, rather than simply a corporate social responsibility issue. This is particularly relevant as Ethiopia seeks to position the private sector as a central engine of economic transformation while implementing its climate and green-growth ambitions. Thanks @AACCSA for the invitation
Great engagement at the #GreenInvestment Forum by @AACCSA.
