Synopsis (short abstract) The Strategic Pilot on Adaptation to Climate Change (SPACC) Project evolved based on the experience of the Andhra Pradesh Farmer Managed Groundwater Systems (APFAMGS) Project. While APFAMGS focused on sustainable groundwater management, SPACC broadened the scope of intervention to climate adaptation pilots, in view of observed and projected changes or variability in the climate. A network of nine NGOs, with Bharathi Integrated Rural Development Society (BIRDS) as the project holder, implemented the SPACC project.
