We excited to announce the completion of the final Adaptation SME Accelerator Program (ASAP) technical assistance facility project. Over the last 8 months, we've worked with EW Tech to develop and deploy an off-grid mobile application of their water filtration technology to enhance water security and resilience for communities vulnerable to water quality issues due to climate change. The solution has potential applications for off-grid locations and in response to natural disasters. A pilot location was selected in Tuchín, Colombia where 335 adults and over 700 children (from the village and surrounding community who attend school in Tuchín) are benefiting from over 2000L per day of clean drinking water. Impacts to clean water is one of the many challenges due to climate change that we face and requires solutions like the one developed by EW Tech in order to help communities adapt and become more resilient. Read more about the project in the case study published today (Case study available in English and Spanish) - https://lnkd.in/ghU3JFSB Congratulations to the EW Tech team for a successful project. We look forward to seeing the continued development and impact of the technology.

We're proud to announce the completion of another Adaptation SME Accelerator Program (ASAP) technical assistance facility project. Over the last 8 months, we've worked with Kitovu Technology Company to pilot the deployment of technology building a resilient agricultural ecosystem for smallholder farmers in Billiri, Gombe State, Nigeria. In total, 543 farmers were provided training, and 400 tons of grains were stored with a 20% reduction in post-harvest losses, saving an estimated $23,000 in value while also increasing the value per ton of grain sold that participating farmers received. As climate impacts continue to affect agricultural production, solutions like the ones provided by Kitovu will increasingly be needed to bolster climate and economic resilience of smallholder farmers around the world. Read more about the project in the case study published today - https://lnkd.in/gP9YU6FH Congratulations to the team for a successful project implementation and we look forward to seeing this solution scale locally and across Africa.
