With a USD 10 million budget, Nurture aims to establish climate resilient systems that continue functioning and scaling beyond project support.

The GEDSI assessment is part of this internal market system assessment conducted by the project team. The objective of these joint assessments is to ensure alignment of methodologies, findings, and recommendations, resulting in a coherent evidence base to inform and strengthen the design of Phase II interventions.
