Short description

The ECOMICRO Project “Agricultural Finance and Smart Data for Climate Adaptation in Ecuador”, is geared toward small-scale producers and micro and small agricultural production enterprises in rural areas at the national level in Ecuador. The project seeks to improve the availability and management of information about rural sector risks and opportunities to promote agricultural and climate-adapted financing. The project is expected to increase opportunities for small-scale producers and micro and small enterprises in the rural sector to invest in their businesses and develop resiliency in response to climate and environmental risk, as well as to increase production and reduce their risk profile.
