Large agricultural development projects often struggle to achieve impact because they lack costeffective systems for capturing regular feedback from implementers and beneficiaries. Even when they use a participatory approach, they cannot easily take into account a large range of farmers’ needs an...

Adoption of CSA practices and technologies, as well as access to climate information services and
Their related impacts at household level (and farm level, in selected sites).
This framework proposes standard Descriptive Indicators to track changes in:
5 enabling dimensions that might affect adoption patterns,
A set of 5 CORE indicators at Household level to assess perceived effects of CSA practices on Food Security, Productivity, Income and Climate vulnerability and
4...
This integrated framework is associated with a cost-effective data collection App (Geofarmer) that allowed capturing information in almost real-time.
The survey questionnaire is structured around different thematic modules (Demographic, Livelihoods, Food Security, Climate events, Climate Services...
The framework responds to three main research questions:
Within each CSV community, who adopts which CSA technologies and practices and what are their motivations, enabling/constraining factors?
What are the gender-disaggregated perceived effects of CSA options on farmers’ livelihood (agricultura...

Monitoring and Learning (M&L) systems are increasingly being requested to measure gender indicators in the context of agricultural interventions. This study reflects on the feasibility of using cellphones to collect data for monitoring gender indicators related to the adoption of climate-smart ag...

Reflection on the use of mobile phones for monitoring gender indicators related to climate-smart agriculture practices
Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions often require “fine-tuning” i.e. feedback from multiple stakeholders e.g. farmers, extension agents, NGO workers, and policy implementers on their relevance in a given context.
Getting essential feedback to ensure projects are on track in a timely w...
CSA and its principles: food security, mitigation, and adaptation, have been widely recognized as key elements for decision makers to include to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet implementing successful innovations on a wider scale across nations – and even geographies – remains a chall...

Nine ways to make agriculture more climate-smart
A robust, resilient, and enabling policy environment is critical to take agriculture innovations to scale at national or regional level.
Policy formulation processes that consider climate variability, socioeconomic and environmental shocks require participatory, inclusive, and explorative scenari...
Better soil health can increase agricultural productivity. Restoration activities can build on-farm resilience and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Land and soil health surveys can improve crop modeling predictions under various climate scenarios and guide more targeted in...

The process of getting climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions and practices to farmers is just as important as the interventions and practices.
Given the complex systems in which CSA is implemented and the various CSA practices and technologies, there is no one-size-fits-all scaling path...

Target the pathways to scale out climate-smart agricultural technologies to farming communities
Recognizing successful climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices is not enough for them to be adopted at scale.
At many sites, government or development-led interventions to promote CSA practices face low adoption rates or are not adopted at all.
Data shows that CSA adoption depends on drivers...
