Bangladeshi Women rearing ducks as CCA

Description

n Bangladesh, with CARE's support, women decided how best to adapt to more frequent and severe floods. When given a choice of options to diversify their incomes, many women chose to rear ducks. Importantly, they rear ducks near their homes, which is more acceptable in terms of social norms restricting the movement of women. The start-up costs were low, the activity did not create a heavy workload in terms of time or labor, and ducks produced eggs and meat for food and cash and can survive floods as they can swim.
