The Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project works to deliver a climate-smart African future driven by science and innovation in agriculture.
AICCRA does this by enhancing access to climate information services and climate-smart agricultural technology to millions of smallholder farmers in Africa.
With better access to climate technology and advisory services—linked to information about effective response measures—farmers can better anticipate climate-related events and take preventative action that help communities better safeguard their livelihoods and the environment.
AICCRA is supported by a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, which is used to enhance research and capacity-building activities by the CGIAR centers and initiatives as well as their partners in Africa.
About IDA: IDA helps the world’s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programmes that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people’s lives.
IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world’s 76 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa.
Annual IDA commitments have averaged about $21 billion over circa 2017-2020, with approximately 61 percent going to Africa.

Agriculture that sustainably:
1. increases productivity
2. resilience (adaptation)
3. reduces GHG (mitigation)
And enhances achievement of
national food security and
development goals (FAO, 2010)
WWW.FAO.ORG/CLIMATECHANGE/CLIMATESMART/EN
47. Capacity enhancement in CCAFS
A Definition
People or organizations
increasing their own ability to
achieve their objectives
effectively and efficiently.
The CCAFS Vision
• Adaptation requires embedded
local capacity, not external solutions
• CCAFS aims to enhance both
(a) research capacities and (b)
capacities to link knowledge and
action
48. Capacity enhancement in CCAFS
For research partners to generate
useful data, tools, and results.
Post-grad students, meteorological services,
climate and agricultural research institutes,
field workers...
e.g. CLIFF Climate Food and Farming
Network
For policy partners to demand and
use data, tools, and results.
Governments (policy makers, climate
negotiators), civil society, development
organizations, farmers’ organizations, private
sector.
e.g. User-driven regional scenarios
49. Examples of global capacity
enhancement work in CCAFS
Researchers’ capacity: The Climate Food and
Farming Research Network (CLIFF) supports
PhD fieldwork & links students to the
development of a global GHG protocol for
smallholders www.cliff.life.ku.dk
Research users’ capacity: The Food Climate
Research Network (FCRN) provides updates
on research and practice for practitioners, & a
forum for problem-solving www.fcrn.org.uk
50. CAPACITY BUILDING STRATEGY IN WA
Enable stakeholders to effectively using scientific knowledge,
tools & methods for informed planning & decision making
Focus on capacity of research (NARS, Universities…) and
ability of countries’ negotiators and CSOs, farmers’
organizations, to contribute effectively to debates in the
international arena:
Short-term capacity building: train people in the skills needed
to undertake the research.
Long-term capacity building: liaise with other actors who can
help develop curricula and provide graduate training (e.g.
WASCAL).
Working relationships with regional & national actors (e.g.
AGRHYMET-INSAH-CILSS) contribute to strengthen their
capacity -and that of national partners- to accomplish their
mandate of reducing climate risks for improved food security.
51. CCAFS and WASCAL
• Possibilities for masters & PhDs in CCAFS PAR
research work (collaboration with Univ.)
• Additional research themes of good match for
WASCAL-sponsored PhD students (CCAFS TLs)
• Access to CCAFS sites
• Access to data sets,
• Access to CCAFS publications (report series,
working papers, etc.)
• Access to meetings, national/regional networks

Agriculture stands at the nexus of three of the greatest challenges facing humankind in the 21st century. In 2012 the Commission ….. Delivered its final report. This Commission was made up of 13 international experts, and was chaired by Sir John Beddington the UK Chief Scientist. The Commission urged action on climate change and agriculture.
The first challenge is related to achieving food security for the world’s population
It is estimated that 100% more food will be needed by 2050 (assuming current trajectories of diets and populations). This has major implications for land cover change.
The second challenge relates to adapting to climate change, with the agricultural sector one of the most impacted by climate change
The second challenge for agriculture relates to climate change adaptation. And if there is a single graph to show this challenge then it is this one for SSA.Thornton from ILRI uses a four degree temperature rise scenario, which based on current commitments to reduce GHGs is a distinct possibility. By 2090 vast areas of Africa will have experienced >20% reduction in growing season length. And huge areas 5-20% reduction. Almost no areas have rises in growing season. This illustrates the magnitude of potential impacts on agriculture from climate change.
For Lobell map: Values show the linear trend in temperature for the main crop grown in that grid cell, and for the months in which that crop is grown. Values indicate the trend in terms of multiples of the standard deviation of historical year-to-year variation. ** A 1˚C rise tended to lower yields by up to 10% except in high latitude countries, where in particular rice gains from warming.** In India, warming may explain the recently slowing of yield gains. For yield graph: Estimated net impact of climate trends for 1980-2008 on crop yields for major producers and for global production. Values are expressed as percent of average yield. Gray bars show median estimate and error bars show 5-95% confidence interval from bootstrap resampling with 500 replicates. Red and blue dots show median estimate of impact for T trend and P trend, respectively. **At the global scale, maize and wheat exhibited negative impacts for several major producers and global net loss of 3.8% and 5.5% relative to what would have been achieved without the climate trends in 1980-2008. In absolute terms, these equal the annual production of maize in Mexico (23 MT) and wheat in France (33 MT), respectively.Source:Climate Trends and Global Crop Production Since 1980David B. Lobell1,*, Wolfram Schlenker2,3, and Justin Costa-Roberts1Science magazine
Here we have price rises to 2050 for three economic scenarios, an optimistic, baseline and pessimistic one.For maize, rice and wheat. The green is the impact due to economic and demographic changes, Projections suggest that food prices are likely to increase considerably in the 21st century; this is unlike what happened in the 20th century, where prices fell or remained constant.And this is for an optimistic temperature rise – a two degree warmerworld
The third challenge for agriculture relates to its environmental footprint. Recent compilations suggest that food systems contribute 19-29% of global greenhouse gasses, including those through land cover change.

Main points.This presentation takes for granted that it is worth knowing the radiative forcing and mitigation potential of fields, production systems, and landscapes.There are relatively few measurements from developing countries and even less in diversified and complex landscapes.This slide shows many of the considerations and challenges that one needs to think about before measuring such landscapes, all of which effect the accuracy and utility of the measurements….describe the nature of a select few of the challenges a bit.THEREFORE, we in collaboration with many others are developing a protocol , a standard of practice, of how to measure emissions in these types of farming systems
There are some nice research results showing that climate shocks impact women more than men.And the baseline survey has shown that women have less access to climate information that men.Yet as we all know, women are crucial for household food security. Thus CCAFS is committed to giving major attention to gender-related research. In the first year of operation there was a joint FAO-CCAFS collaboration to produce a training guide for gender related research on cc and agric. Gender work is mainstreamed into all CCAFS theme and regional work.
The second challenge relates to adapting to climate change, with the agricultural sector one of the most impacted by climate change
In a sense all CCAFS work is geared towards enhancing capacity to anticipate and manage different and uncertain climatic futuresCapacity enhancement integrated into all themesCCAFS’s comparative advantage is in policy-oriented researchSo gearing capacity enhancement activities in this area
