This training aimed not only to strengthen the capacities of women-led SME leaders but also to sensitize managers of financial services on climate change and CSA oportunities. Specific objectives of these modules included: 1. Enhance knowledge participants about cliamte change and introduce them to the concept of climate smart agriculture 2. Enable participants to understand and share knowledge about CSA technologies 3. Increase participants awareness on adaptation strategies to tackle climate change.Item Ethiopia Climate-Smart Agriculture Investments Summary(Brief, 2023-01) Tesfaye, Lidya; Barale, Kelsey; Alemayehu, Sintayehu; Nowak, Andreea C.; Jaquet, StéphanieIn Ethiopia, a group of stakeholders, including representatives from local governments, research institutions, the Ministry of Agriculture, farmers' unions, the private sector, and NGOs, developed the planning framework that formed the basis for Ethiopia's Climate-Smart Agriculture Investment Plan (CSAIP). The CSAIP outlines seven priority investments identified by stakeholders to meet the goals of productivity, adaptation, and mitigation. This Info Note briefly summarizes these prioritized investments, key considerations for success, and the monitoring and evaluation plan.Item Climate Resilient Agriculture Development Pathways for the Agriculture sector in Senegal(Report, 2023-01) Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT; Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa; African-German Network of Excellence in ScienceLa variabilité et le changement climatiques ont eu et auront des répercussions assez considérables sur les populations et leurs activités socio-économiques et les ressources hydriques et forestières. Dans le cadre de ce travail, nous avons analysé les données de modèles climatiques de la sixième phase du projet d'intercomparaison de modèles couplés (CMIP6) et examiné les changements projetés des températures, des précipitations sur les six (6) zones éco-géographiques du Sénégal (Niayes, Bassin arachidier, Casamance, Sénégal Oriental, Vallée du fleuve de Sénégal, et la zone sylvo pastorale) et des débits sur les trois bassins fluviaux (Casamance, Gambie, Sénégal).Item Sorghum Value Chain Business Case Development(Report, 2022-09) Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa; Financial Access Consulting ServicesSorghum production is vital to the country’s food security and can play a major role in improving the livelihoods of farmers in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL). Being a drought resistant crop that can tolerate extreme temperatures and flooding conditions, it offers farmers in ASAL regions a better alternative to generate higher incomes compared to other staples such as maize and wheat. Despite this, uptake of sorghum farming has been slow with production lagging demand nationally. Most farmers have yet to adopt the good agricultural practices (GAP) necessary to boost production. 84.4% of sorghum farmers in Makueni utilize uncertified seeds from their own stored sources while 30.9% of them grow the crop without any fertilizer. The AICCRA project seeks to remedy this by developing a climate-smart lending business case that will encourage financial institutions to lend to these farmers. The business case shall facilitate the formulation of a pilot lending scheme involving a Partner Financial Institution (PFI) covering the semi-arid counties of Kitui and Makueni in Lower Eastern Kenya.Item Theories of change for tracking climate change adaptation. A quick reference guide(Report, 2022-12) Jones, Kristal; Nowak, Andreea C.; Rosenstock, Todd S.This document provides a quick reference guide on using theories of change in monitoring and evaluating adaptation to climate change. The reflections are based on learnings from applying climate adaptation M&E tools in different investment contexts (subnational, national). The notes provide definitions and explanations of key elements to consider in theory of change design and review and provide annotated collections of useful resources for deep dives. We illustrate the practical application of ToCs through case studies from Zambia and Ethiopia. The document is relevant for actors engaged in any adaptation cycle, from planning and implementation, to monitoring, evaluation, and reporting.Item Monitoring and Evaluating Adaptation Investments Opportunities for the Private Sector(Brief, 2022-12) Isbell, Carina; Jones, Kristal; Nowak, Andreea C.; Rosenstock, Todd S.Key messages There is an urgent need for private sector finance for adaptation, yet there is a lack of adequate tools to ramp up investments. • Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) can help to track adaptation benefits and build the case for increased finance. • M&E information can also strengthen accountability and transparency, build supply chain resilience, and meet demands from climate-conscious supply chain actors. • Alignment between adaptation indicators and impact investing reporting systems provides an important starting point for enhancing M&E of adaptation investments.Item Monitoring and Evaluation of Climate-Smart Agriculture Investments. Methodology and Approach(Presentation, 2022-12-30) Nowak, Andreea C.Presentation for teams developing climate-smart agricutlure investment plansItem Scaling Up Climate-Smart Funding in East and West Africa(Brief, 2023-01-06) Wamicwe, Peter; Burra, Dharani Dhar; Costa, Ciniro; Masika, Daniel; Alarcón, Marina; Grosjean, Godefroy; Newman, Richard; Hientz, LennhartThis info note explores the use of science and technical approaches in improving the typical investment process with regards to investment origination and selectionItem Evidence and processes for mainstreaming peacebuilding in climate adaptation efforts. A framework and a safeguard approach for peace-responsive climate action: the Climate Security Sensitiveness Tool (CSST)(Working Paper, 2022-12) Sarzana, Carolina; Melgar, Adriana; Meddings, George; Läderach, Peter R.D.; Pacillo, GraziaThis paper aims to provide a theoretical and conceptual framework to distil the complex problem around linking climate adaptation, conflict sensitivity and peacebuilding, with the final goal of operationalizing it into a practical tool. By linking such fields of practice, it provides a scheme for climate action practitioners to better identify and address contextual drivers of conflict and insecurity while advancing peacebuilding processes. This paper lays the theoretical groundwork for this model and presents an actionable ex-ante tool for prioritizing mechanisms to address contextual conflict and insecurity drivers when designing climate adaptation interventions.Item Farmers’ Demand for Climate Information Services: A Systematic Review(Journal Article, 2022-07-23) Ouedraogo, Adama; Egyir, Irene S; Ouedraogo, Mathieu; Jatoe, John Baptist DThe importance of climate information services (CIS) for farm decision-making is known worldwide. Its use is widely recommended by academics, governments, and development partners, especially in Africa. However, the supply of commercial CIS in Africa remains very low. Considering that the commercial CIS suppliers are business-oriented, the lack of supply is mainly due to the lack of evidence on the demand for it. The specific objectives of the review were to assess the demand for CIS, the key characteristics of the demanded CIS. and the key drivers for the demand for CIS in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Through a systematic review, 123 articles were identified on the SCOPUS and Google Scholar databases and 52 papers were included in the study. The models of assessment done by the majority of authors were a simple description based on needs assessments and econometrics modelling to identify the key drivers. The results show that 68% of the farmers in ECOWAS demanded CIS. The average willingness to pay for CIS is estimated to be USD 2.01 for daily forecasts. The usability of CIS, daily forecasts and geolocalized CIS, and customized CIS are the key characteristics farmers are looking for in the ECOWAS region. The main drivers of CIS demand are price, income, vulnerability to climate variability, beliefs and religion, complementary services, gender, type of crops, and farm size. According to the consumer theory, information such as elasticity of price and income, ranked substitutes of CIS, which are still lacking, are key for understanding the CIS demand. However, the review showed that little research work has been conducted in this area. The review also shows the importance of determining among which type of goods CIS should be classified. Knowing whether CIS is a necessity good is vital for suppliers’ decision-making.Item Digital Services for Agriculture(Report, 2022-01-01) Delinthe, Luken; Zwart, Sander J.Digital services for agriculture across Africa, with a specific focus on Ghana, were inventoried. An online survey, targeting the service providers, was designed and implemented, to map the services that were provided, communciation channels used, products specifically for the irrigation sector, and specific attention from women and youth. The report served to pre-select companies for co-design of an irrigation service.Item Ghana Irrigation Sector Mapping(Report, 2022-08-24) Delinthe, Luken; Zwart, Sander J.The irrigation sector of Ghana was mapped with the purpose to inform private sector parties on the potential for developing small-scale irrigation. It is shown that offcial schemes only amount 17,000 ha, wheras the area under farmer-led irrigation development is estimated 189,000 ha. Large potentials remain untapped and another 700,000 households could benefit from support to invest in irrigation equipment. The reports shows key information in figures, maps and other visuals.Item Three recommendations for advancing adaptation tracking emerge from a review of 53 African(Brief, 2022-06-01) Nowak, Andreea C.; Njunguna, LucyThree recommendations 1. Amplify and scale out recent progress on adaptation tracking through targeted capacity building, enhanced investments in M&E systems, and south-south knowledge exchange. 2. Classify indicators to support a common framing and aggregation for adaptation tracking. 3. Expand the scope of adaptation tracking indicators to pair the current activity-focused approach with outcome indicators to document impact.Item Is adaptation tracking on track?
