No results found.This case study analyses the economic worthiness of adaptation measures currently being practiced by some farmers on their land in Kenya. It uses cost-benefit analysis (CBA), which is recommended by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group as one of the methodologies to be used in the preparatory stages of the NAPs to rank and prioritize adaptation options according to their costs and benefits to society. The study’s findings can inform policy makers and development practitioners involved in formulating and implementing the NAP process. The study was carried out under the Integrating Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans programme (NAP-Ag), co-led by UNDP and FAO, with the aim of capacity building, generating evidence-based results for selecting adaptation options, and informing adaptation policy dialogues on adaptation in agriculture. -
