WECO works with international agriculture companies to create programs to enhance food security and rural livelihoods, focusing on improving farmer incomes, climate resilience, and market access through partnerships between governments, NGOs, and local communities. Key components include providing access to quality inputs, business skills, finance, and technology, while ensuring projects are country-led and inclusive of vulnerable groups like smallholders, women, and youth.

Common Project Objectives and Components

• Enhance productivity and income: Projects aim to increase the productivity of crops and livestock to raise household incomes, often by improving access to quality inputs, technology, and sustainable farming practices.
• Build climate resilience: Focus on helping smallholder farmers adapt to climate change by introducing climate-resilient technologies like solar-powered irrigation and protective agriculture.
• Improve market access: Connecting farmers to markets and improving their business and entrepreneurship skills are common goals, often facilitated through public-private partnerships.
• Strengthen rural finance: Projects seek to improve rural livelihoods by providing better access to finance and risk-sharing instruments like insurance.
• Empower vulnerable groups: A strong emphasis is placed on inclusivity, with specific activities targeting rural women, youth, and smallholder farmers.
