NGO Partnership to Implement SPICES Project

Objectives: The SPICES project, initiated by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Nepal, focuses on promoting climate-resilient, market-based agroforestry and legume value chains to enhance livelihoods in Saptari district. The main objective is to increase productivity, income, and resilience of smallholder farmers through improved access to climate-smart agriculture practices. By promoting the cultivation, processing, and marketing of key value chain commodities, the project seeks to transform and improve the lives of marginalized and vulnerable communities, particularly benefiting women and youth. Implementing this project, CRS aims to build resilience against climate-induced challenges, providing long-term sustainable growth and development in the region.
