Driving Digital Climate-Smart Solutions for the World’s Smallholders at COP26
Mercy Corps AgriFin supports the COP26 action agenda through our continuing work to develop scalable, digitally-enabled solutions that build climate resilience, food security and financial inclusion for the world’s smallholder farmers. We are excited to be participating in various events during COP26 and to our share two of our key initiatives: the Digital Climate Smart Agriculture Playbook for solution providers and the Digital Climate Smart Agriculture Sandbox. Here is an overview of the solutions landscape we are supporting across Africa and Asia.
We leverage the power of digital technology, data, and a global network of partners to build a brighter future for smallholder farmers and the people they feed.
We design, test & scale digital services and products to boost their productivity & income and build their resilience to climate change.

Introducing the AgriFin Gender Transformative Toolkit!
Based on seven years of innovation with partners, AgriFin has developed the Gender Transformative Toolkit as a compendium of 17 hands-on tools to help farmer-facing organizations make digital technology work for women in agriculture.The Toolkit was developed through a co-creative process with some of our strategic partners to test and refine the tools. The Toolkit is designed for organizations anywhere on the spectrum of gender transformation. View our Resource Page.
