Semi-arid regions ?
• These climates are characterized by the fact that precipitation is less than potential evapotranspiration.
• Characterized by relatively low annual rainfall of 25 to 60 centimeters and having scrubby vegetation with short, coarse grasses; not completely arid.
12th May ‘06 Basic Project, India Workshop 4
Why semi-arid area was chosen ?
• Climate extremes are an
expected characteristic of semi-
arid lands.
• The people living in the semi-arid
areas are particularly vulnerable
to droughts, which trigger
frequent subsistence crises --
sharply increasing crop
failures, dislocation, famine,
poverty, increases stratification
and the social inequities.
12th May ‘06 Basic Project, India Workshop 5
Peoples VoicesIncrease in migration in our village
is due to lack of rains, the
agricultural labor are migrating to
urban areas.
- Mr. Balaram Reddy, Karimnagar
People are shifting out of agriculture
and taking up other means of
livelihood activities due to lack of
water. In this context food security
has become another important issue
- Mr. Sheshagiri Rao, Bharat
Krishak Samaj Mahabubnagar
12th May ‘06 Basic Project, India Workshop 6
Enhancing Adaptive capacity1. The general ability of institutions, systems, and individuals to adjust to potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.
2. Most populations know from local history the frequency and likely consequences of extreme climatic events. And most populations in highly variable or extreme climatic zones shape their livelihood systems to buffer against potential catastrophes.

Objectives of Policy and Advocacy
• To foster dialogue and improve communication between all kind of interfaces in order to better address climate changes.
• Agree with partners on a common conceptual framework regarding the way forward.
• To ensure bottom-up linkages through policy dialogue at national and international level .
12th May ‘06 BASIC Project, India Workshop 10
• Nationally support process that would influence the systems within the government, through dialogue on a meaningful platform
• Internationally support process which would lead to simplification of protocols and mechanisms in favor of the poor
• Support to partners for documenting best practices /cases to influence policies

V & A Programme - Goal
To secure the livelihoods of rural poor & vulnerable communities by promoting adoption measures that builds & enhance their capacity to better cope with adverse impacts of climate change & by promoting their disaster preparedness
12th May ‘06 Basic Project, India Workshop 14
Project Objectives
• To build community level capacities with regards to best practices and technologies in the agriculture, water & energy sector
• To optimize the service delivery system & services at selected sites of AP & Raj
• To promote policy dialogue, & advocacy at different levels
12th May ‘06 Basic Project, India Workshop 15
• Process oriented, allowing a multi-level, learning-action-reflection cycle
• Holistic approach (funds, functionaries and functions): systemic livelihoods
• Interlinking levels: community level with state, national, regional, and international level
• Focus on ‘optimising delivery systems' at local community level, i.e. the role of extension services in enhancing the coping capacity of local liveli-hood systems against the adverse impacts of climate change.

CAUSE OF DROUGHT SITUATION
• Skewed distribution of rainfall – 40% deficit from June-August which is the sowing season
• Depletion of ground water situation
• Untimely heavy rains during Sept – Oct affects the crops
• Lack of Rainfall during November-December adversely affects Rabi sowings
12th May ‘06 Basic Project, India Workshop 26
LIVELIHOODS Low productivity of lands and small land holdings leading
to disguised unemployment, increasing the vulnerability. The district is traditionally known for its migrant laborers
one of the important causes are: Non-sustainable traditional occupations Wage rates are low and also women are paid less
than men. About 1.75 lakhs small farmers and 2.94 marginal
farmers are dependent on wage employment. About 3.20 lakhs agricultural laborers who are below
poverty line are also dependent on agricultural wage employment.
