Climate-‐smart village : the CCAFS model to improve the adap2ve
capacity of communi2es
Robert Zougmoré Regional Program Leader, West Africa, CCAFS
To 2090, taking 14 climate models Four degree rise
Thornton et al. (2010) Proc. Na4onal Academy Science
>20% loss 5-‐20% loss No change 5-‐20% gain >20% gain
Length of growing period (%)
Length of growing season is likely to decline..
Vermeulen et al. 2012 Annual Review of Environment and Resources (2012)
19-‐29%
global GHGs from food systems
How can smallholder farmers achieve food security under a
changing climate?
Agriculture must become “climate-‐smart”
• contributes to climate change adaptation by sustainably increasing productivity & resilience
• mitigates climate change by reducing greenhouse gases where possible
• and enhances the achievement of national food security and development goals
• Approach where CCAFS in partnership with rural communities and other stakeholders (NARES, NGOs, local authorities…), tests & validates in an integrated manner, several agricultural interventions
• Aims to boost farmers’ ability to adapt to climate change, manage risks and build resilience.
• At the same time, the hope is to improve livelihoods and incomes and, where possible, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to ensure solutions are sustainable
Concept of “climate-‐smart villages”

Climate-smart villages
Index-‐based insurance
Climate informa2on services

technologies
Local adapta2on
plans
• Learning sites • Multiple partners • Capacity building
Scaling up • Policy • Private sector • Mainstream
successes via major initiatives
How it works?
Focus on integrated acCons..
Linking knowledge to acCon Key agricultural acCviCes for managing risks

What? Tree plan2ng ShiTs to small stock Crop/income diversifica2on Climate resilient crops
Who? NGO’s – CARE, World Neighbors, Vi Gov’t Extension; CBO’s – local groups Researchers – KARI teams, CGIAR
Strategies Outcome mapping Learning workshops Exchange visits Gender research training Local TV, radio, cell info on CSA op2ons
The research • KARI/CG research teams tes2ng
and evalua2ng improved prac2ces with farmers
• What isnt’s and approaches benefit women? Enhance equity?
• Changes in prac2ces – what’s climate resilient?
• What changes are men vs. women making?
Local outcomes Ext services/NGOs more demand-‐driven and delivering relevant informa2on on climate-‐smart agriculture to farmers and local organisa2ons
Example: western Kenya

partners -‐ Private sector -‐ CBOs, Local leaders
Examples from Burkina, Mali and Ghana At Community level:
11
1. Improved technologies and pracCces for climate-‐smart agriculture
2. Methods, approaches and capacity for local adaptaCon planning
3. Innova2ve mechanisms for scaling up and out, including building local capacity to innovate.
4. By “scale up and out” it is intended that research will iden2fy adop2on pathways and ac2vely involve the research end-‐users who are necessary to take research findings to scale.
What is expected ?
Where CCAFS works
13
1. To identify and test pro-poor adaptation and mitigation technologies, practices, and policies for food systems, adaptive capacity and rural livelihoods
2. To provide diagnosis and analysis that will ensure cost effective investments, the inclusion of agriculture in climate change policies, and the inclusion of climate issues in agricultural policies, from the sub-national to the global level
