County Climate Risk Profiles are a key tool to guide climate smart agriculture (CSA) investments and priorities at the county level in Kenya. These documents provide analyses of the underlying causes of vulnerability and on-going and potential climate change adaptation strategies. They also provide a snapshot of the enabling environment for building resilience by providing a synthesis of the policy, institutional and governance context.

Agriculture is crucial for the livelihood of millions of people worldwide and is one of the main drivers

We report on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs), especially those who govern, manage and conserve their lands and waters. We explore the themes of access and use of natural resources, solidarity, decision-making, the role of governments and IPLCs in managing COVID-19, and the uptake of traditional medicine. These themes are explored through a global online survey in English, Spanish and French.

This Digital Agriculture Profile for Rwanda leverages the expertise of stakeholders to evaluate the current landscape of digital agriculture in Rwanda, including its key players across value chains, the main barriers they face, and the potential to overcome these barriers through the adoption of innovative technologies.
