This Info Note presents an exploration of CSA scaling options in the Nyando Basin area of Kisumu and Kericho Counties in Kenya, through partnerships in the value chain. It is part of the NWO-CCAFS research project “Climate-Smart Financial Diaries for Scaling in the Nyando Basin, Kenya”, led by th...
Agricultural systems in Eastern Africa are mainly rainfed and highly vulnerable to climate change and variability. Climate-related risks include variable rainfall patterns, prolonged dry spells, and extreme events such as droughts and floods, and have become more frequent and severe, negatively a...
