pictures of Andre's work

Andre's work with EI is in the field of agriculture, but the focus of our activities is disaster risk reduction. The area we work in is prone to flooding every year and frequent droughts, which often results in food crisis. Our project interventions are aimed at helping people recover from disasters (through things like winter cropping if they've lost their crops) and help them become more resilient to future disasters (by helping them grow different crops, start small businesses, etc.). Because we are working in villages covering a large area, we have field staff that live in the villages and are working with the people, teaching them and supporting them. As a result, my job is to supervise our field staff and administrate the projects. I visit the field regularly to visit the projects with our field staff.
