The Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) supports applied research projects that address food security challenges in the developing world. It is jointly funded, coordinated, and implemented in collaboration with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and uses the combined expertise of both organizations to maximize the impact of the projects funded. Through investments in applied research, the CIFSRF contributes to the development of more productive, sustainable, and gender-sensitive agricultural techniques for women subsistence farmers, with the ultimate goal of making food sources more secure and accessible, and the food produced more nutritious, for poor households - particularly for women and girls, who face the heaviest burden of chronic hunger and malnutrition in developing countries. One of the objectives of the CIFSRF is to ensure that the results generated by the research funded are used to inform food security policies, programs, and on-the-ground development activities. Partnership is also an important aspect of the CIFSRF. All the research projects funded are jointly conducted by Canadian and developing country-based organizations, such as academic institutions, private sector organizations, civil society organizations, or research institutions. These partnerships harness Canada's expertise in agriculture and nutritional science and combine it with first-hand knowledge and expertise in developing countries, to maximize the benefit for development activities.

The purpose of this project is to establish a small community-based not-for-profit business led and operated by women, to cultivate, harvest, weave, laminate, and distribute low-cost corrugated bamboo roofing sheets. The roofing sheets are used by the Habitat for Humanity International - Nepal (HFHI-Nepal) Save and Build microfinance housing program for low-income families. The project aims to make housing more affordable for the lowest-income families by reducing the material cost of roofs and ensuring a continuing supply of roofing sheets for HFHI-Nepal. The project also aims to create income-generating opportunities for low-income families involved in each step of the fabrication process. This is one of two components of a project valued at $493,080. The first component has been completed.
