Depuis 2011, le programme de recherche du CGIAR sur le Changement Climatique, l’Agriculture et la
Sécurité alimentaire (CCAFS) soutient la mise en œuvre d’une agriculture intelligente face au climat (AIC)
au Sénégal à travers le développement et la mise à l’échelle de technologies et pratiques AIC avec l’Institut
Sénégalais de Recherches Agricoles (ISRA).
Dans ce cadre, le CCAFS a mis en œuvre de 2019 à 2021, un projet de « développement de chaînes de

Dairy development is a promising pathway out of poverty for smallholder farmers as demand for animal-sourced foods is projected to rise. Feed is a critically limiting factor in productivity of smallholder dairy systems in East Africa. This study aims to introduce and provide proof-of-concept for a relatively simple approach to quantify feeding systems and feed gaps in data-scarce smallholder systems. Feed gap here is defined as the difference between livestock feed demand for an attainable milk production level (attainable feed demand) and actual feed supply at individual herd level.

This study highlighted the importance of farmers’ understanding of the climate change effects, and identified recommendations on how to target women and enhance support services to increase the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers. However, measures to increase women’s participation should be tailored to the local context. It would not be prudent to generalize recommendations for engaging women across different geographic, agroecological and socio-cultural contexts. Land tenure considerations must also be factored in planning the CSA interventions.

This research activity pursues three specific objectives: 1)Evaluate existing collaboration and mechanisms for mainstreaming CIS and agro-advisories into the activities conducted by the Great Green Wall National Agency of Mali; 2) Develop Public-Private Partnerships for the sustainable management of climate risks in the zone of the Great Green Wall; 3) Define activities, roles and
responsibilities and possible contractual issues for the sharing of costs and benefits between the actors involved in Climate Information Service activities in Mali.

Domestic waste is a continuously increasing urbanization challenge. Over the last decade, researchers with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) have developed, tested and implemented (e.g. as PPP) a variety of RRR technologies and business models that simultaneously reduce the waste burden and support the return of resources like crop nutrients, biosolids and reclaimed water to agricultural production. The review compared over 20 scaling models and tools to identify those which best support the RRR innovations.

A workshop on partnership in scaling-up livestock technologies has been conducted on December 17 and 18, 2021 in Hawassa, at Haile Hotels and resorts. The workshop was attended by 23 participants (21 in person and two online) representing higher learning institutions, federal and regional research, the Ministry of Agriculture, CGIAR and an NGO.

The traditional linear technology transfer model has limited effectiveness in promoting the uptake of
technologies and innovations. It fails to account for complexity within the agri-food system, is too
simplistic and does not fully consider forward and backward feedback loops in the food system or pay
adequate attention to context. There is, therefore, an increasing interest in investors and decision makers making use of alternative instruments (such as innovation platforms or accelerators) to

This analysis covers the Major challenges for climate change adaptation for the agriculture sector of Honduras, Including the understanding of the plausible future scenarios and threats and the role of institutional networks and their links with vulnerable spaces.

This training guide was developed by the potato component of the Accelerated Value Chain Development
(AVCD) program with contributions from Edward Mwakio, a business skills consultant, and from county
agribusiness development officers in the six project intervention counties. Preparation of this guide is based on
the experience and the feedback from different trainers and participants.
