In malawi, tanzania, and rwanda, cdi performs outreach to smallholder farmers to increase access and help them to participate equitably in local markets. Cdi's model puts farmers first by providing them training, as well as increasing their access to inputs to improve their crop yields and increase their incomes. In 2016, cdi grew its smallholder farmer outreach in rwanda, malawi, and tanzania, and is now helping more than 150,000 farmers through training and by providing seeds and fertilizer to increase their yields and incomes. Cdi also helped farmers in malawi find new markets in europe for their groundnuts and opened the first of three planned health clinics on our anchor farm in malawi. The clinic provides primary health care services and disease prevention, and saw tens of thousands of patients between april and december of 2016. The clinton climate initiative (cci) collaborates with governments and partners to increase the resiliency of communities facing climate change by creating and implementing replicable and sustainable models that foster cross-sector collaborations. Cci's approach addresses major sources of greenhouse gas emissions by bringing together relevant partners, while also saving money for individuals and governments and growing economies. In 2016, cci continued assisting with the development of renewable energy projects across the caribbean. For example, a 3 mw solar project and a 30 mw geothermal project in saint lucia that, when fully constructed and operational, are expected to bring clean power to half of the country's 60,000 households. In order to amplify the long-term impact of these efforts, in february 2016 cci launched a new women in renewable energy (wire) network so that more women are empowered to become part of the energy solutions in their communities and to reaffirm our commitment to the full participation of girls and women.
