Synopsis (short abstract) Namibia’s Fifth National Development Plan (NDP 5 cites agriculture and food security as key to enhancing economic progress in the country Under the umbrella of agriculture is the livestock sector, which is of crucial economic importance, as it contributes roughly 3 8 percent to the national GDP The growth and sustainability of this sector are hindered by climate change It has brought about a decline in rainfall, a rise in temperatures, periods of drought and the degradation of rangelands, all of which increase livestock mortality and therefore negatively affect the livelihoods of smallholder farmers who lack the knowledge, capacity and resources to mitigate these threats and manage related crises This Technical Cooperation Programme ( project was designed to support the development of a proposal for another, larger project on building the resilience of communal livestock farmers to climate change, which was to be submitted to the Green Climate Fund ( for consideration.

    Opportunities to promote the climate change resilience of Saint Lucia’s pelagic fisheries and value chains through sustainable and efficient resource use 2021
    Also available in:

    Saint Lucia is a Small Island Developing State in the Caribbean. Increasingly prevalent and intense hurricanes have provided tangible evidence of Caribbean fisheries exposure to environmental shocks in recent years. However, slower climate-change-related processes also require due attention. Promoting the efficiency of fisheries operations and their associated value chains can improve their climate change resilience while reducing stakeholders’ future socio-economic costs. Reducing operating and transaction costs promotes profitability and socio-economic resilience. Climate change resilience of fisheries duly considers the critical environmental efficiency related to capturing target species through methods that minimize unwanted effects upon bycatch species and the broader ecosystem. This publication proposes nationally tailored efficiency and climate-resilience-promoting interventions.

    Climate resilience and disaster risk analysis for gender-sensitive value chains
    A guidance note
    2022
    Also available in:
    The purpose of this publication is to facilitate gender analysis in value chain operations, considering climate change effects, in order to enhance adaptive capacities of value chain actors. It aims to facilitate the analysis of the factors that determine gender-differentiated vulnerability to climate change and risks. It is intended for use by practitioners and service providers, including governments, civil society and academia, to guide interventions within the agrifood sector.

    Toolkit for value chain analysis and market development integrating climate resilience and gender responsiveness
    Integrating agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) Programme
    2019
    Also available in:

    This toolkit aims to help countries in selecting and analysing value chains for opportunities to improve climate change resilience and reduce gender inequalities. It intends to provide policy makers, planners, project developers, technical advisors and implementers at local, regional or national level with good practices of climate-resilient and gender-responsive value chain development. It aims to act as a repository of relevant tools and methodologies for identifying relevant stakeholders and engaging with them to collect data and analyse it to design interventions. Climate change threatens agricultural value chains, and having a gender-responsive value chain approach is useful in analysing the climate risks, as it looks at stages during and beyond production, while using a more systemic approach to risk management.
