BookletMulti-criteria decision analysis for selection of vulnerable districts: Transforming Indus Basin with climate resilient agriculture and water management 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Modelling of climate change scenarios for Pakistan indicates that if agriculture and water management in the Indus River Basin continue in a ‘business as usual’ mode, the increase in temperatures and changes in precipitation will pose serious threats to the future livelihoods of farmers and to the Pakistani agricultural sector. In this context, FAO Pakistan has proposed a project to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) on “Transforming the Indus Basin with Climate Resilient Agriculture and Water Management”. This project is designed to change that by moving away from ‘business as usual’ in the Basin and shifting agriculture and water management to a new paradigm in which producers are successfully adapting to climate change and are able to sustain their livelihoods. The project objective is to transform agriculture in the Basin by increasing resilience among the most vulnerable farmers and strengthening the Government’s capacity to support their communities to adapt. To ensure the success of the project, an appropriate selection of districts for project interventions is a crucial factor. The Technical team at FAO has employed a detailed Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) technique using GIS for the selection of the district areas. As an outcome of the detailed MCDA analysis, a GIS based vulnerability index has been developed for the districts. Based on the vulnerability index, eight districts in Punjab and Sindh are selected for the implementation of the project. -
ProjectTransforming the Indus Basin with Climate Resilient Agriculture and Water Management
Environmental and Social Management Plan
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the project Transforming the Indus Basin with Climate Resilient Agriculture and Water Management outlines strategies to enhance resilience among vulnerable farming communities in Punjab and Sindh, Pakistan. The project addresses climate change impacts on water and agriculture through four components: (i) improving climate information services, (ii) building on-farm resilience via Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA) and On-Farm Water Management (OFWM), (iii) creating an enabling environment for sustained adoption of climate-smart practices, and (iv) project management. The ESMP identifies potential environmental and social risks—such as resource efficiency, pollution prevention, occupational health and safety, gender equality, and cultural heritage—and proposes mitigation measures aligned with FAO’s Framework for Environmental and Social Management (FESM 2022) and GCF standards. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Promoting climate-smart livestock management in the Dominican Republic”
Project code: GCP/DOM/019/GFF - GEF ID: 10054
2024Also available in:
The project "Promoting Climate-Smart Livestock in the Dominican Republic", implemented between June 2018 and November 2022, has had the objective of "Mitigating climate change and restoring degraded lands through the promotion of climate-smart practices in the livestock sector." The evaluation estimates that, as a result of the implementation of the project, the convenience and importance of promoting climate-smart livestock practices as effective tools for mitigation and adaptation to climate change were installed on the government's climate and agricultural agenda. In addition, the project contributed to generating evidence on the positive effects that certain livestock practices have on climate change mitigation and adaptation and on the restoration of degraded lands. Finally, the contribution to the development of individual and institutional capacities in the Dominican State, technology transfer and adoption of good practices of beneficiary producers, among other achievements, is highlighted.
