CCAFS Where we work
Regional selection: WA, EA, IGP • Represent areas that are becoming both drier and
wetter
• Areas that will generate results that can be applied and adapted in other regions worldwide
• Poverty and vulnerability
• Complementary set of social, cultural and institutional contexts
• Complementary climatic contexts
• Significant but contrasting climate-related problems and opportunities for interventions
• Security, governance, institutional capacity that favour likelihood of generating transferable results
Principles of site selection
• Must build on partnerships with a range of actors already working in these areas
• Should build on existing structures, institutions, projects and programs (not start from scratch)

Final remarks
• Do we nearly fully rely on existing sites? Security issue….
• Number of sites (Columbia U. experience?)
• Link with other CRPs
• Combine drivers of land use change with position on forest transition curve
• GeoEye imagery
Thank you for your attention Q&A
