Effects of Climate Change→ Droughts and floods
→ Accelerated Land Degradation→ Poorer crops and livestock productivity
→ Less food→ Lower incomes

GCCA‐E Project objectives of the EU/MOA/GIZ Project
Climate Smart Agriculture
Synergies
Sustainable participatory forestmanagement• Afforestation/reforestation of degraded lands
Nursery Development and planting
Physical and biological conservation measures;
Area Enclosure
• Reduced Deforestation and Forests Degradation
Use of energy saving technologies
Sustainable Forest management
Climate Smart crop production• Improving moisture use efficiency, soil and water
conservation
• Promotion of agronomic practices to improve soil fertility and health (increased carbon sink)
• Promote improved field and horticultural crop varieties
• Promote integrated disease and pest management techniques
Climate smart livestock production • Promote eco‐system adapted livestock systems with stall feeding
• Promote destocking through use of improved breeds
• Improve productivity, value chain development
• Use of lower emitting sources of protein
• Promote bee keeping activities
Resilient and ample water supplies• Promote water harvesting technologies
• Construct and upgrade small scale irrigation schemes
• Improve irrigation water use efficiency
• Spring Development in rehabilitated Watersheds
Sustainability and ‘lock in’ mechanisms• Create an enabling environment at community level to
enhance Carbon Smart Agriculture
• Develop farmer‐friendly incentive mechanisms and guidelines for implementation
• Support the establishment of appropriate institutions and GCCA innovations
• Buffer risks of farmers for adaptation of new technologies and approaches
• Preparedness for carbon trade
Policy framework and innovative institutions• Development conducive Policy framework conditions for the agricultural sector in line with the Ethiopian CRGE initiative
• Support the establishment of appropriate institutions and GCCA innovations
