Climate-related shocks and international price volatility disproportionately impact smallholders, and their recurrence are likely to increase. In 2018, IFAD has launched its pioneering initiative Climate and Commodity Hedging to Enable Transformation (CACHET), a financial solution designed to ensure revenue protection for smallholder farmers against climate-related disasters and price shocks.

In collaboration with FARM-D (hosted by PARM) and the Inclusive Rural Finance Network, the CACHET project is organizing a webinar on “Empowering Small Producers’ Organizations : How to Manage Price Risk and Make Loans More Accessible”, which will be held online on 12 October at 15:00 CET.

Join us to explore, with leading specialists, the lessons learned, and challenges faced during the implementation of CACHET phase 2, more specifically on the use of price risk management as a tool to mitigate climate change and price volatility for small producers, as well as insights on how to make loans more accessible to the latter.
