If climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is meaningfully to address the development challenges posed by climate change, effective approaches will be needed to scale up research findings. Here, eleven case studies are used to exemplify scaling-up strategies based on (1) value chains and private sector i...

Scaling up agricultural interventions: Case studies of climate-smart agriculture
Smallholder farming systems are vulnerable to a number of challenges, including continued population growth, urbanization, income disparities, land degradation, decreasing farm size and productivity, all of which are compounded by uncertainty of climatic patterns. Understanding determinants of sm...

The online platform is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of CCAFS as well as the requirements of CGIAR.
•
Consensus is needed from the outset about the requirements of such a platform, as the right balance has to be struck between detail and leanness.
•
We started with a complex, idealistic...

Lessons in Theory of Change from the Introductory Training on Theories of Change, Impact Pathways and Monitoring & Evaluation
Along with several other CGIAR research programs, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) has in 2014 been piloting a new way of doing business revolving around the use of results-based management (RBM). Six trial projects were selected via a competitiv...

This document summarises what was achieved during 2014 by the CCAFS RBM trial. This is followed by a discussion of the prerequisites for a CRP to implement successful RBM, what we mean by “successful RBM”, what has worked according to expectations, and what was done when things did not work out ...
