CCAFS: Regional Engagement Strategy
The Three CCAFS Focus Regions
Indo-Gangetic Plains:Parts of India, Bangladesh, Nepal
East Africa:Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and Ethiopia
West Africa:Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Niger
Regional Engagement Strategy
Goal• To empower stakeholders by
increased regional engagement with them and not to provide ready one-time solutions for adaptation/mitigation
Approach
1. Integration of thematic research2. Participatory priority setting and benchmark site
selection- Agenda setting workshops
3. Effective regional partnerships for participatory action research at different scales
4. Involvement of women and marginalized sectors of the society
5. Capacity building of stakeholders6. Linkages with appropriate agencies for upscaling7. Communication with stakeholders
Action Plan 2011-15: Focus area 1: Design and demonstration of community led climate-smart agriculture in benchmark CCAFS sites/villages
Work with rural communities to provide science driven actions addressing overall goals of development
1. Theme 2, 3 and 4: Bio-economic household modelling
2. Theme 2: PAR on risk management strategies (weather forecasting; insurance; food, forage, seed and water banks; adapted varieties; RCTs)
3. Theme 3: Agro-forestry, mitigation potential of interventions
4. Theme 1: Analogues to provide knowledge of adaptation options in other regions; farmer exchange
Partners in India, e.g.: CG centers, NARS, IFFKO (PAR), IFKSL (ICT), If-TOKIO (Insurance); IFFDC (Agro-
forestry), IMD (Met Dept), Linkages: MGNREGA, NFSM
Priorities in IGP 2011-15: Focus area 2: Climate-smart agriculture at sub-national/ national scale
1. Theme 4: DSS/Toolkits for assessing the regionally differentiated vulnerabilities, and consequences of actions/inactions of policy decisions
2. Theme 1: Climate analogues for PGR conservation/evaluation
3. Theme 2: Climate forecasts and food security components
4. Theme 3: Agric contribution to GHGs, mitigation options, incentives
Partners (e.g. India): CG centers, ESSP, NARS, Depts of Agriculture
Priorities in IGP 2011-15:
Focus area 3: Capacity building of stakeholders
• Farming communities• Self-help-groups of
farmers• NGOs• Industry such as
insurance related• Local governments and
leaders, especially women
• Advisors of national policy planners
• Researchers
Upscaling (Example from India)
• Partnerships with:
– NARES
– Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-operative Limited (links with 150 m farmers (25%); rainfall insurance, ICT in agriculture, farm forestry, community development, training to farmers)
– National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Employment provided in 2010: 41 million households (40% backward castes; 50% women))
– Ministry of Rural Development (Participation of local village leadership)
Additional option for upscaling CCAFS work in South Asia: Potential audience : > 1.5 billion (45% women; 50% weaker
sections)

Critical actors
With whom ? • Farming communities• Village leaders • NGOs
• NARES • Universities• CGIAR Centers
Regional and national policy makers
Better adapted rural communities, with higher incomes and greater food security
Impacts
Enhanced agricultural adaptation plans at different scales
Better technology targeting for climate change resilience
Improved early warning systems
Enhanced social safety nets
Carbon management for improved soils and income
Expected outcomes
How? Capacity enhancement
Participatory action research for co-production, evaluation and dissemination
Farmer exchanges
Assessing regionally differentiated vulnerabilities and opportunities
Consequences of policy decisions
A focus on women and marginalized sectors
Key Outputs
Tools for diagnosis and vulnerability assessment
Portfolio of adaptation and mitigation technologies, practices and policies
New knowledge about the trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation
