The African Agricultural Ministers:
Requests the AUC-NEPAD to facilitate development of an
SLM-Agricultural based climate change adaptation
framework to guide operationalization and financing the
scaling up of SLM in the context of NEPAD’s CAADP and
EAP Environmental Action Plan
Calls upon Member States to increase investment support
to initiatives aimed at strengthening knowledge, advancing
technical capacity development, and up-scale sustainable
land and water management practices including
conservation agriculture, agro-forestry, watershed
management
PARTNERSHIPS

OF CAADP
The African Agricultural Ministers:
Calls upon Governments and partners to increase
financing support for sustainable land management and
agricultural water management, irrigation and water
control systems to enhance agricultural production in
Africa and address the issue of climate variability and
related food insecurity within the context of the CAADP
agenda
Urge AUC-NEPAD and partners to ensure issues and
initiatives on combating desertification and agricultural
water management are directly considered and integrated
in the efforts to support sustainable land management
(SLM)-agriculture based climate variability and climate
change adaptation measures

Purpose of CCA Framework
The purpose of the CAADP CC Adaptation Framework is to
outline a set of principles, actions, roles and responsibilities,
and financing recommendations to guide NEPAD-CAADP
engagement in implementing agriculturally related climate
change adaptation programmes in Africa.
The framework should guide engagement at all levels from
continental to national/local and across the levels
The framework will form a common strategy for proactively
addressing climate change through adaptation and
mitigation measures, linking together partners at all levels,
all focused on achieving the goals and objectives of NEPAD

Key value elements of the Framework
Will to provide for:

Comprehensive and systematic and coherent
programmes

Systematic reforms in policies

Integrated attention to organisational and
human capacity, institutional arrangements

Integrated and programmatic approach
across the sectors, disciplines, ecosystems as
well as transboundary

Coherent framework to guide partnerships
including alignment of the development
partners support to an African agenda
PARTNERSHIPS

OF CAADP
Value Added of the CCA Framework
To maintain a high degree of emphasis on linkages between climate
change, sustainable land management, food security, and poverty
alleviation in Africa in policy and development programming
To highlight roles played by different partners in addressing climate
change in African agriculture
To facilitate collaboration and coordination of efforts in climate
change policy, research and development as it relates to agriculture,
in order to increase impact
To provide a clear and compelling investment programme for African
agriculture that delivers on the twin objectives of meeting current
food security needs whilst building capacity of rural systems and
agricultural assets (e.g. soils) to offset or respond to climate change
effects

Fostering Up-scaling of Best Practices
for Climate Change Adaptation/Mitigation in
Agriculture (1)
Principles/approaches:
Identify concrete actions that build on existing efforts where
possible
They should focus on ex ante climate change adaptation
measures that add resilience to systems and offset predicted
climate change effects and importantly address current food
security needs
They should complement and link with other major
initiatives such as TerrAfrica, AGRA, NAPs, etc.

Fostering Up-scaling of Best Practices
for Climate Change Adaptation/Mitigation
in Agriculture (2)
Principles/approaches:
These should be at significant scale and for medium term
in order to have impact
Identify flexible governance and financing mechanisms to
facilitate rather than hinder investment (e.g. could allow
earmarks for certain thematic or geographical areas)
They should encourage innovation and be rigorously
monitored for livelihood and climate change impacts

Framework Development process

Development process = NEPAD led consultative and
inclusive (Governments; RECs, e.g. the COMESA-EACSADC Initiative; Development partners; Knowledge and
Research Institutions and RECs)

“Happening in-situ” and integrated in African institutions
(linked to capacity building, ownership, etc… !!)

Scoping exercise – Team of consultants and multi-partner
technical committee

NEPAD CAADP and EAP providing the overall scope and
common vision

Linked to possible investment programmes: e.g. 2 million
smallholder farmers supported in adopting conservation
agriculture by 2012 (All regions)

Operationalizing of the Framework (1)
Possible Actions at national level ….
 Facilitate / support up-scaling of proven practices that
raise productivity and provide adaptation or mitigation
benefits in the face of climate variability and change
 Integrate CCA interventions into PRSPs and other
development planning systems / capacity and ability
 Strengthen communication and capacity in CCA
knowledge and skills, e.g. of extension staff
 Identify and address institutional or policy impediments
 Promote synergies across projects, programmes, and
sectors – use CC or SLM platforms -- e.g. on stemming
degradation and deforestation

Operationalizing of the Framework
(2)
Possible Actions at regional and sub-regional levels …
 Increase political support for SLWM/Agriculture
 Technical backstopping in best practices
 Mobilize resources and identify mechanisms for
cross country learning (knowledge management)
and possibly for coordinated implementation
 Provide funding mechanism which is attractive for
investors
 Provide quality assurance of investments through
vetting, oversight, M&E
