ProjectSupporting the Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture through Social Protection and Agricultural Interventions - GCP/GLO/480/IRE 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Adopting climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices is a crucial measure that farmers can take to protect their livelihoods and production systems from the harmful effects of climate change; however, financial constraints often limit their ability to adopt these practices. Under a pilot project (FMM/GLO/148/MUL), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) implemented an approach that connected social protection measures with Farmer Field Schools (FFS) in the Mwanza and Neno districts of Malawi. The pilot approach divided FFS participants into three groups: one that received FFS training and a cash transfer, one that received FFS training and agricultural inputs, and one that only benefited from the FFS training. This project was subsequently formulated to measure the impact of these interventions on the adoption of CSA practices among the three groups through an Impact Evaluation (IE). -

The workshop brought together participants from Governments, research institutions, farmer organizations, civil society organizations, and the private sector to determine the knowledge priorities for Climate-Smart Agriculture and partnerships to make these priorities possible. The priorities and outputs identified at the workshop formed inputs into the Knowledge Action Group’s work plan for its inception year. The workshop provided background on the role that the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture plays in developing a knowledge base for Climate-Smart Agriculture, and provided participants insights into how the Knowledge Action Group of the Alliance is governed and its activities to date. Discussions at workshop focused on the five priority work areas of the Knowledge Action Group (1. technical interv entions and practices in CSA; 2. evidence base of CSA; 3. support, services and extension for CSA; 4. inclusive knowledge systems for CSA, and 5. integrated planning and monitoring for CSA). Participants identified the priority outputs for the inception year and partnerships to achieve these outputs. The workshop provided a platform for participants to share ideas, knowledge, approaches and resources, fostering stronger partnerships between organizations. -
