Impact Pathway

VISIONA climate resilient region that is food and nutrition secure with equitable access to

livelihood opportunities and reduced GHG emission intensity from food systems that is

supported by well-coordinated institutional frameworks for enabling policies and increasing

investments in agriculture and natural resource management.

National Agricultural

Research Institutions

(KARI, NARO, ARI, EIAR),

IARCs, and Ministries of

Agriculture are developing

and packaging appropriate

CSA technologies and

practices to increase

agricultural productivity,

enhance food security,

incomes and mitigation,

and build resilience;

National Institutions,

Donors and Relief

Agencies are accessing

and using research

informed forecasting tools

for timely and efficient food

security decision-making

and Academic,

Government (e.g.

Ministry of Ag.), and

Development

Organizations are

developing and testing

climate applications for

agriculture to support

scaling out and adoption of

climate services to users

National Governments and

Agencies (Ministries of

Environment, Agriculture

and the National

Environment Authorities)

are designing, developing

and implementing low

emissions strategies for

agriculture.

National Ministries of

Agriculture, Environment

and parliamentarians are

collaborating to make

evidence-informed policies

for increased investments

in climate resilient food

systems.

African Group of

Negotiators (AGN) and

African UNFCCC Focal

points are using scientific

evidence to effectively

articulate the African

position on agriculture and

climate change issues

CSVs in East Africa

Rachel Kyte Blogs on CSVs

CSVs inform policy in EA

CSVs inform policy in EA

Sharing lessons: Climate-smart interventions

• In 2014, 13 officials from the Ethiopian government.

• Tour organized by the USAID- CIAFS (Capacity to Improve Agriculture and

Food Security Project) to explore how CSVs can be replicated and scaled

out in Ethiopia.

CSVs in the media

Broadcast, print media, newsletters

Sharing results

Partnerships for policy outcomes e.g. African countries in the UNFCCC

Using scientific evidence to effectively articulate

the African position on agriculture and climate

change issues reflecting also in current and

emerging global agreements..

Science to policy dialogue, e.g. Climate Agriculture Network for Africa

Collaborating to make evidence-informed

policies for increased investments in

climate resilient food systems.

LEDs NAMA in Kenya

1. Analysis of framework conditions and policy gaps Country sets overall policy goal:

2. National infrastructure is put in place: inventory, registry, approval and MRV procedures

3. Set of actions that reduce emissions below BAU and form part of NAMAs are identified

4. A concrete project or a whole sector NAMA applies for national approval and finance
