  • Program:
    The CC DARE Programme in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Leading Organization:
    CC DARE
    United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
    United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
    United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
    Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
    National Agricultural Research Laboratories
    Summary:

    A CC DARE scoping mission was undertaken from April 21st – 25th 2008. A two day stakeholder consultation was held with a broad representation of climate adaptation actors. Following the scoping mission, a total of seven proposals were received from a range of governmental and non-governmental organisations. Proposals were based on issues including afforestation schemes to reduce land degradation; research into crop diversification; educational programmes for schools; and an investigation into the merits and drawbacks of payments for environmental services (PES).

    Project Components:

    The principal outcome of the project will be sustainable livelihoods and food security through increased nutrient- and water-use efficiency for increased crop productivity. The implementation of adapted technologies and best practices for mitigating agricultural drought and the resulting improved land use and management practices will contribute to short and long term, local and national development goals in terms of sustainable land resources use thereby enhancing sustainable livelihoods and food security through productive and diverse agricultural systems.

    Expected Outputs:

    The project seeks to achieve two integrated outputs, which together form the nucleus of interventions to achieve the outcome of the project. The emphasis is an integrated effort to achieve increased crop productivity through increased nutrient- and water-use efficiency. The outputs are as follows: Output 1. State-of-the-art scientific knowledge characterizing agro-meteorological climate risks and uncertainties regarding crop production in the country generated Indicator: Report regarding the trends analysis of climatic variables [rainfall, temperature, etc. by end of month 1 of the project Output 2. The current status, socio-economic factors, constraints and opportunities for promoting adapted land use and management technologies vis-à-vis traditional knowledge and practices for agricultural drought mitigation in the selected AEZ identified. Indicator: Survey report by end of month 1 of the project
