    Malawi, Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Africa

    This report reflects the summary of baseline findings in Malawi, under the auspices of the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) Adaptation Programme in Africa. It identifies gaps in climate information access and use at the local level, types of climate services farmers and pastoralists need in Malawi, relevant channels to reach farmers with requested services, lead-time and gender-specific requirements for the design and delivery of climate services that matter to farmers.

    Ethiopia, Africa, Eastern Africa

    Climate change is a major development challenge to Ethiopia. Climate change is expected to

    adversely affect all economic sectors, eco-regions, and social groups. Agriculture is one of the

    most vulnerable sectors as it is highly dependent on rainfall. This report synthesises four case

    studies focusing on the impacts, vulnerabilities and local adaptation practices in Ethiopia‘s

    agricultural sector, including policy and institutional responses. The case studies were carried

    Kenya

    The ‘WISE-UP to climate’ project aims to demonstrate the value of natural infrastructure as a ‘nature-based solution’ for climate change adaptation and sustainable development. Within the Tana River Basin, both natural and built infrastructure provide livelihood benefits for people. Understanding the interrelationships between the two types of infrastructure is a prerequisite for sustainable water resources development and management. This is particularly true as pressures on water resources intensify and the impacts of climate change increase.

    Uganda, Africa, Eastern Africa

    Background: Smallholders have begun to take advantage of a growing pool of investment in climate change mitigation. Meanwhile, early movers in this area are working to develop innovative models that will allow projects to be nancially sustainable and scalable while bene ting local actors. This study focuses on two of these projects in East Africa, managed by Vi Agroforestry in Kenya and ECOTRUST in Uganda. They engaged in a participatory action research process to identify ways that local actors could take on expanded roles within the projects.

    There is limited documentation of soil and water management technologies that enhance adaptation to climate change in drylands of Kenya. Rainfall patterns were analyzed in the semi-arid Machakos and Makueni counties of eastern Kenya using historical data. A total of forty-three smallholder farmers implementing soil water management practices were sampled, and an estimate of the seasonal water budget for current crop and livestock production systems computed.

    Kenya, Eastern Africa, Africa

    The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects an
    ambition to further integrate agricultural development and
    climate responsiveness. CSA aims to achieve food security
    and broader development goals under a changing climate
    and increasing food demand. CSA initiatives sustainably
    increase productivity, enhance resilience, and minimize
    greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. Increased planning is
    vital in order to address tradeoffs and synergies between
    the three pillars: productivity, adaptation, and mitigation

    development and climate responsiveness. It aims to
    achieve food security and broader development goals
    under a changing climate and increasing food demand.
    CSA initiatives sustainably increase productivity, enhance
