ShambaShield is a CGIAR project that seeks to bridge the gap between agro-advisories and financial services through design research, integrating existing innovations into a cohesive, user-centered framework. This initiative goes beyond addressing farmers’ needs—it examines the broader ecosystem of agricultural practices, financial systems, and climate resilience to uncover opportunities for effective collaboration and bundling of solutions. By applying design research principles, ShambaShield generates insights and design ideas on how different players in the ecosystem can collaborate, what a bundled tool should consider, and how to align innovations with real-world contexts. Through its research, ShambaShield provides critical insights into how agro-advisories and financial services can be combined to create meaningful, scalable solutions for climate resilience.
