Synopsis (short abstract) This case study describes the implementation of the capacity development tool modelling system for agricultural impacts of climate change (MOSAICC) in Malawi and its role in (1) strengthening the technical capacity of national institutions and (2) producing evidence-based results. MOSAICC is a FAO tool developed to build the national capacity of key ministries and research institutions to produce after medium- to long-term (2040 and 2070 respectively) impact assessments of climate change on the agriculture sector.

This guidance has been developed under the Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) (SCALA) programme, which supports decision makers to implement the agriculture priorities of their national climate plans. SCALA recognizes the critical role of the private sector in driving innovation and investment for transformative climate action in agriculture and land-use sectors. This guidance provides practical advice on how to translate climate priorities in the agrifood systems into actionable projects by identifying investment opportunities, understanding barriers and risks, and selecting de-risking tools to attract private sector investment.

This paper presents a sector-specific framework for better understanding the role of the AFOLU sector in the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) at the country and aggregate level. It is designed to facilitate the stocktaking and analysis of national climate change mitigation and adaptation priorities, barriers to implementation and support needs specific to the AFOLU sector in order to inform country programming and guide the flow of external support. It can also be used at the country-level to facilitate NDC enhancement and encourage compliance with the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement. As such, it is directed at national policy makers sitting in ministries of environment, agriculture, finance and social planning, as well as at international and non-governmental organizations, development agencies and banks and finance institutions. To date, the framework has been adopted by FAO to conduct a series of regional-level analysis of the role of the AFOLU sector in the NDCs.
