2,500 families of producers of
coffee and sugar cane.
• They form a territory of 15 villages.
Organized in an association that
takes administrative decisions and

social and economic organization.
They have been a driving force
behind the association of coffee
growers.

drought, wind, frost and prolonged

provincial capital poverty levels
they are high.
Main Characteristics

4. • The CSV has become a
participatory space research and
implementation of tools to
multiply rural processes of
adaptation to Variability and
Climate Change with different
gender roles.
VISION OF THE CERRILLOS CSV

5. APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE CERRILLOS CSV
• We apply a territorial approach where through adaptation,
organizational, environmental, economic and political processes of the
communities and institutions that relates to that territory are
articulated.
• For this we build Local Adaptation Plans.
• Adaptive management with a focus on the territory

three strategies for
adaptation to the territory:
• Organizational
strengthening and
articulation based on the

• Empowerment of women
and youth
• Implementation of Field
Schools to Adaptation

OF THE CERRILLOS CSV

8. MAIN ACTIVITIES
What are we doing (years 2014-2015)
• Baseline (Territory) and Baseline Gender
• Economic Games and ICTs for planning
of production under different climatic
variability
• Using ICTs to share lessons learned
• Consolidation of institutional platforms
for joint action
• Assessment Adaptation best practices
• Incorporation of results of CSV in school
curricula by two rural schools, to
promote a "culture of adaptation“
• Local Agroclimatic Technical Groups in
order to promote specific adaptation
measures.
(CIAT, FONTAGRO, CCAFS, CENICAFE,
MINTICS, AGRONET..)
• Strengthening women's and youth
organizations to establish business
plans
• Participatory identification of
autonomous and planned adaptation
measures for their multiplication through
Field Schools adaptation.
• Participatory GIS to involve young
people in the knowledge of the territory
• Portfolio of projects to strengthen
community self
• Inclusion the issue of climate change in
local gender and agriculture policies
• We have a replica in the department of
Atlántico. From lessons we are
promoting new sites in other
municipalities (4)
We are articulating the scientific knowledge with the capacity building

9. Field schools for adaptation to climate change
Each school is composed
of:
1. One Plot Mother :
Food Security.
Soil Conservation, Agro
climatology Warnings and
Water solutions.
2. 10 Plots Daughters
Food Security
Agro climatology
Warnings and Water
solutions.
3. 50 Plots
granddaughters:
Food Security and Agro
climatology Alerts
TOTAL: 122 Families with
adaptation measures
Mother School: 2.
Daughter Plots: 20.
Granddaughter Plots: 100.
Each family with a daughter plot, must teach a
group of plots granddaughters.
The appropriation of these results, will allow
replicate the schools in other areas
