Transcript second pres - Climate Change and Social Learning (CCSL)

CCAFS Vision of intended impact
• By 2020, contribute to cross-sectoral efforts to
reduce poverty by 10%, increasing the incomes of
hundreds of millions of people
• By 2020, contribute to a reduction in hunger,
whereby the number of rural poor who are
undernourished declines by 25%
• By 2020, help agriculture contribute to climate
change mitigation by enhancing storage or reducing
emissions, by 1000 Mt CO2-eq (considering all gases)
below the “business-as-usual” scenario.
Objective 4.2 Assemble data and tools for analysis and planning
Outcome 4.2 Improved frameworks, databases and methods for planning responses
to climate change used by national agencies in at least 20 countries and by at least
10 key international and regional agencies
Output 4.2.2 Socially-differentiated decision aids and information developed and
communicated for different stakeholders
Milestone
Partnership and strategy development for targeting decision support tools.
4.2.2 2012
Milestone Decision aids developed in selected sites in 3 initial target regions that build on
4.2.2 2013 the information needs of socially- and gender differentiated target groups.
Milestone Decision aids tested in selected sites in target regions that build on the
4.2.2 2014 information needs of socially- and gender differentiated target groups.
Milestone Collation of decision aids and tools for prioritizing adaptation and mitigation
4.2.2 2015 actions at national/sub-national scales, with pilot testing in IGP region.

Probability of success & durability
Communicating uncertainty
• CCAFS:
– Works through partnerships at site level
– Role to provide syntheses/comparisons across sites and
regions (of tools & approaches, results & lessons learnt)
• CCAFS funding primarily through CGIAR
– Highly volatile
• Requirement to leverage additional funding
• Theme 4.2 resources for partners under this
activity
– To fund: seed activities, innovative high risk ideas,
proposal writing workshops, synthesis studies,
tool development
– Requirement: partnerships!
Linking K with A Principles
How the research is done matters, a lot!
Identify and involve the knowledge users in problem definition
Innovation systems approach –
putting partners first
Boundary Spanning
Build capacity to innovate/
support institutional change
Manage asymmetries of power
Baselines
• Same tools, methods used across all CCAFS sites and time
• To be revisited in 5 & 10 years to measure impact, i.e.
behavioral change (not attribution)
• CCAFS Baseline
• Household level (140 household per site): basic indicators on
welfare, information sources, livelihood/agriculture/natural
resource management strategies, needs and uses of information
• Village level (1 village per site): focus group discussions, socially
differentiated, on resource access, organisational landscapes,
sources of information
• Organisational level (10-15 organisations per site): provision of
services and information to farming communities

CHANGES IN KNOWLEDGE ATTITUDES AND SKILLS
One or more of the actor groups have better understand and/or skills in: the benefits and value of new technologies and
crop/fish varieties; implications of different land use plans, the impacts of external drivers of change on water resources;
community involvement in water mgment; how to work in partnership across scales and sectors in an adaptive & problemoriented way
CHANGES IN PRACTICES
One or more of the actor groups: use high level scenario planning; use tools and effective water governance strategies; improve
planning of water infrastructure; use new farm-level technologies, seeds and adaptation strategies; private sector involvement
in the agriculture sector including information, finance, markets and inputs; using a theory-of-change-based approach to NRM
to foster rural innovation
Reduce poverty, improve food security and strengthen livelihood resilience
in coastal areas through improved water infrastructure , governance and
management, and more productive and diversified farm system

COMART Community-led assets/value chains
CARE – carbon payments to smallholders
ICRAF – GHG measurement in complex
landscapes
Vi Agroforestry – SLM, carbon payments
CCAFS Participatory Action Research – with
ILRI, Vi, World Neighbours, CBOs, Min of Ag,
Min of LS, KARI: training, K sharing, etc in:
•Water harvesting
•Agroforestry
•Small ruminant management
•Beekeeping
•Seed systems
•Post-harvest handling and storage
•Fodder development
•Participatory crop selection
Pro-poor, pro-women strategies
East African Dairy Development (FAO, ICRAF, ILRI, KARI, private
sector partners) – hub model; training of women; women
leaders; joint signatures; payments directly to women
COMART - Community-led asset and value chain focus; working
with women’s groups; women’s trainings
CARE/CCAFS/ICRAF – carbon payments to smallholders –
institutional issues including strategies for ensuring benefits to
women (e.g. women’s trees, women’s groups, etc); evaluating
women’s participation and constraints
CCAFS/ILRI Participatory Action Research – Participatory crop
selection with women, support/training to women’s groups,
others?
Challenges
• How do we ensure the ‘learning loops’
happen??
• We want lessons that are more broadly
applicable - cross-site/region opportunities
• Seasonal forecast use; adoption of climateresilient practices (e.g. improved water and
soil management; new varieties; planting
trees on farms, etc.), etc.
