From being a consortium of 15 independent research centres, the CGIAR system is in the process of
transitioning to One CGIAR - “a dynamic reformulation of partnerships, knowledge, assets, and
global presence, aiming for greater integration and impact”. This consolidation is spurred by the

The objective of the baseline study was to evaluate conditions in the Sedhiou and Tambacounda Regions of Senegal for the AVENIR project. The study entailed observation of key trends, a household survey, and analysis of the biophysical characteristics of the project area and challenges for agriculture.

The Climate-Smart Agriculture Profile for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, provides an overview of the agriculture sector in the Province along with the major climatic and non-climatic challenges impacting its development. Climate projections are used to support an assessment of future hazards likely to impact crop and livestock production.

Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) is the most devastating disease of banana and plantain (Musa spp.). The disease spreads through the use of infected vegetative propagules and the banana aphid (Pentalonia nigronervosa) is the virus vector.

Starting from 2010, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) scenarios team has led several future scenario-guided policy formulation processes under the FP1 Flagship Priorities and Policies for CSA.

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.

This working paper summarizes the findings of a portfolio review conducted to explore the gender and youth responsiveness of climate-smart agriculture technologies tested across climate-smart villages. The innovative and integrative aspect of the Climate-Smart Village (CSV) approach can provide useful insights into how to decrease the gender gap in the context of climate change.

In Latin America, the cultivation of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) plays a critical role in rural livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.

Globally, in the coffee sector and smallholder agriculture in developing countries, there is a distinct gender gap in key factors that enable women’s active participation in and contribution to the coffee value chain and in farm and domestic decisions, such as decisions over credit, agricultural inputs, and training opportunities and division of labor and time.
