Achieving Net Zero with Rural Communities
IIRR is one of the world’s leading rural development organizations, with over 100 years of experience in international development focusing specifically on rural communities
Why rural people
Over 3.4 billion people globally live in rural areas. Two out of three people living in extreme poverty live in rural settings. They are the smallholder farmers, fishermen, pastoralists, Indigenous peoples, and forest dependent communities. Every day they rely on minimal resources to survive.
More than 62 million lives across 5 continents have been improved through IIRR’s rural development programs.
Climate Smart Village Model
The CSV initiative supports a number of IIRR’s priorities and working themes. Our integrated 5-pronged approach empowers smallholder farmers to improve their livelihoods.
