In line with the objectives of the project, a policy dialogue workshop was organized between MoAFS and MoECCM and other stakeholders to discuss how linkages between climate change and agriculture might be captured in a harmonized way in agricultural and climate change pol icies. The national agricultural policy will seek to mainstream climate change, while the national climate change policy addresses climate change as a cross-cutting issue, with a section of the policy devoted agriculture. The workshop was attended by over 24 participants from the two ministries, civil society organizations(CSOs) and academia. -
