    This guidance document aims to assist investment project formulation practitioners in incorporating climate change considerations into agricultural investment projects and programmes. The main focus is on project/programme formulation (i.e.identification and design), although some aspects of supervision and evaluation will also be presented. It is intended for national and international staff and consultants, as well as government staff involved in mobilizing investment for agriculture and rural development, mainly through assistance to project or programme identification, formulation and supervision. It is meant to apply to investment projects or programmes in agriculture and rural development (agriculture in the broad sense, including fisheries, livestock and forestry). It can also be used for stand-alone climate change projects or programmes; however, for most stand-alone climate change projects/programmes, there are specific guidelines provided by their funding agencies and other d evelopment partners.

    In recent years, Eswatini has suffered from El Niño, adevastating AIDS pandemic, economic slowdown and soaring prices of food and agricultural inputs. Despitebeing ranked as a lower middle-income country, it has experienced a stalling of economic growth, leading togreater food insecurity and poverty. Women and youth sare generally the most vulnerable population group, and there are a growing number of households headed solely by women and children, with more men seeking employment away from home and as a direct result of HIV/AIDS. The agricultural sector has been affected by erratic rainfall and climate change. Changes in weatherpatterns have had an adverse effect on food production, resulting in insufficient production for domestic consumption. Additionally, reduced access to food markets and a lack of value addition to agricultural processes has compounded concerns relating to food and income security.
