A rapid Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) assessment was conducted on 20 agri-food companies supported by the Gender-Smart Accelerator in Senegal. As the Accelerator-technical assistance is implemented, companies are likely to double climate change mitigation and adaptation impacts. Major interventions driving changes are: climate information services (CIS), water and soil management (Adaptation); agroforestry, efficient fertilizers use, and renewable energy (Mitigation); improved ag-practices and food loss reduction (Productivity).

One of the overall project components for the Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project is supporting the generation and sharing of knowledge tools to address critical gaps in the provision of climate advisory services, enable climate-informed investment planning and contribute to the design of policies to the uptake of climate-smart agricultural practices.

This report presents the results of a scoping study conducted between April and June 2022 in Nepal as part of the CGIAR NEXUS Gains Initiative. The study aims to inform and offer a baseline for the development of a water - energy - food - environment (WEFE) nexus capacity strengthening strategy for the Initiative in Nepal, which will serve as a hub for NEXUS Gains capacity strengthening activities in the sub-region.

A presentation on how to improve local adaptive capacities and inclusive scaling mechanisms for climate-smart agriculture in Ethiopia. It was delivered at the inception workshop for the CGIAR Initiative for Livestock and Climate by Birgit Habermann

This document is a technical progress report of a work aimed to develop a national ag data hub in Ethiopia. The document is not a full technical implementation report of the national ag data hub. It is the technical report of the first phase as per the agreement entered between CIAT and ACATECH TECHNOLOGY PLC to implement the system in a phase by phase approach. This report has two main parts. The first part provides background information about the project which includes a brief introduction about the first phase deliverables.

Dairy productivity in sub-Saharan Africa remains below its potential, while there is an increasing demand for milk from its growing population. This study focuses on the adoption potential of improved, more nutritive and productive forages by smallholder farmers in the Tanga region of Tanzania.

A chapter in Agroecology Transformation for Sustainable Food Systems: Insight on FRANCE-CGIAR Research, The publication reflects the enormous opportunity ahead to enhance the complementarity of crop and livestock farming through prompting different technologies. This chapter is highlighting the role of drought resilient multi-purpose crops in low rainfall agrosylvopastoral systems in MENA and South Asia to respond to the challenges facing our food, land, and water systems

The report documents the results of the country launch of the CGIAR Initiative on Securing the Food Systems of Asian Mega-Deltas for Climate and Livelihood Resilience (AMD) held in Dhaka City, Bangladesh on 10 August 2022.

Social protection programs are a central component of national strategies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to increase incomes for poor households and protect them from shocks to their livelihoods. Social protection programs currently reach more than 2 billion people worldwide and are found in every country in sub-Saharan Africa.

This brief presents how a participatory approach in livelihood mapping was applied to define the need for climate services in key cropping systems within major livelihoods. This process was built upon the existing product developed by the World Food Programme (WFP) in Cambodia called Consolidated Livelihoods Exercise for Analyzing Resilience (CLEAR) maps.

Agri-environmental projects have been portrayed as tools for climate change adaptation and mitigation and to overcome processes of deforestation, soil erosion, issues of water availability, and biodiversity loss. This paper is concerned with the social organisation of knowledge around agri-environmental projects offered to farmers in the department of Caquetá in Colombia.
