Climate change increases the chances of worsening drought, with warmer temperatures set to increase water demands and evaporation, putting greater stress on water supplies and the agricultural sector.
In 2017, aquaculture provided more than 50% of the fish humans consumed. In Cuba, there are plans to double the fish farming industry by 2030.
Most deaths in sub-Saharan Africa occur without medical attention, and as a result, the causes of death (COD) remain unknown.
People living in informal urban settings in Latin America and the Caribbean are highly vulnerable to water-related risks associated with climate change. They are also effective incubators of bottom-up, grassroots-driven mechanisms of adaptation.
While Ethiopia has successfully reduced under-five childhood mortality, there have been slower gains in reducing neonatal (newborn) and maternal mortality rates. About 220,000 children and mothers die every year in Ethiopia.
This project aims to support community-based services that will improve maternal health in Ethiopia, a country with some of the worst health indicators in sub-Saharan Africa.
