Social protection programs in Africa aim to promote livelihoods, provide social assistance, and protect vulnerable populations against risks. However, coverage of social protection is extremely low compared to other regions. While agriculture-led growth can reduce poverty, many Africans remain vulnerable to weather and other shocks. Graduation programs that combine cash transfers with livelihood support have shown the most consistent positive impacts. For social protection systems to be successful in Africa, countries will need to adopt a systems approach and consider design features like coordination, sustainability and national ownership.
The document summarizes the social protection commitments in the Malabo Declaration and lessons from the Biennial Review report. The Malabo Declaration commits to integrating agricultural productivity measures with social protection initiatives focusing on vulnerable groups. It also commits to strengthening food reserves, early warning systems, and school feeding programs using local food. The Biennial Review found Mali, South Africa, and Zimbabwe on track to meet social protection budget commitments. However, data availability and quality on social protection needs improvement. Recommendations include improving data collection from national statistics agencies and surveys as well as resource mobilization.

This document discusses monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of climate change adaptation efforts. It notes that over 20 countries have developed or are developing M&E systems to track adaptation progress, mainly related to national climate strategies. M&E of commitments in countries'Intended Nationally Determined Contributions provides an additional opportunity. National M&E systems vary greatly in their policy context, purpose, institutional arrangements, approach, reporting, and resource needs. The document examines examples of M&E systems and reporting formats used in several countries. It emphasizes that there is no single best approach and M&E requires considering its purpose, intended users, and appropriate reporting level and format given decision-making needs.
Communicating Adaptation information: African Countries' INDCs, by Kennedy MbevaOECD Environment
This document summarizes a presentation on communicating adaptation information in African countries' intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs). It finds that African INDCs prioritize adaptation and provide detailed adaptation strategies, costs, and financing needs. However, many African countries' adaptation actions are conditional on receiving financial support. The presentation also notes linkages between adaptation and sustainable development in African INDCs, but few mention alignment with sustainable development goals.
National Contributions in Adaptation - Peru, by Eduardo DurandOECD Environment
Peru formulated its national contributions for adaptation (NDC) through a multi-step process that included selecting thematic areas based on vulnerability criteria, developing proposals based on sectoral and national policies, reviewing proposals with competent sectors, holding public consultations, and approval by a multisectoral commission. The NDC includes detailed information for each thematic area (agriculture, water resources, forestry, industry, public health) to achieve intermediate goals. Peru proposes communicating progress on its NDC through its upcoming Biennial Update Report and by defining a structure for adaptation communications, proposing a vulnerability indicator, and developing a monitoring and reporting system to measure resilience according to its National Strategy on Climate Change.

The evaluations commissioned in 2011 could not sufficiently report on outcomes or impact levels. A study was conducted to identify problems, bottlenecks, and improvements to demonstrate the difference of Norwegian aid. Key findings showed handbooks and regulations were generally of good quality but grants lacked results frameworks. Weak reporting on results was also an issue. Reasons for these issues included a lack of prioritization and incentives from leaders as well as competing priorities and pressure to spend funds quickly. Real-time evaluations of REDD+ initiatives aim to provide a platform for learning and discussion while programs are ongoing but struggle with information access given dynamic, political contexts. Improving results management requires prioritization from leaders, proper incentives and resources, realistic goals and indicators set at the

This document summarizes Armida Andres' presentation on estimating finance needs and developing effective biodiversity finance plans from a Philippine perspective. It discusses how the BIOFIN methodology was used to cost the actions in the Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP) over 2013-2028. This facilitated analysis to better implement the PBSAP and inform conservation policies, financing, and investment choices. The costing helped secure $10 million for the government's coastal program in 2018. The process involved stakeholders and produced messaging targeting various sectors. The iterative costing of the PBSAP through BIOFIN emerged as a best practice for transformation.

In West Africa, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change,Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) has been working since 2011 with various local partners to develop Climate-Smart Village (CSV) models in its pilot sites in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger and Senegal. The CSV models is an approach where CCAFS in partnership with rural communities and other stakeholders (NARS, NGOs, local authorities, …), tests & validates in an integrated manner, several agricultural interventions. The idea is to integrate Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) into village development plans, using local knowledge and expertise and supported by local institutions.

The document summarizes lessons from resilience-building projects that should be integrated into National Adaptation Plans. It discusses five lessons from a review of resilience programs in 20 vulnerable countries: 1) the need to stimulate climate action through system-based solutions and mainstreaming adaptation into sector policies; 2) providing greater support for implementation of adaptation plans; 3) addressing large financing gaps; 4) improving monitoring and evaluation; and 5) ensuring feedback loops and strategic support. It provides examples of how BRACED projects in various countries addressed these lessons by engaging stakeholders, revising development plans, establishing community adaptation funds, and developing risk financing instruments.
Case Study: ACORD-led consortium project for Addressing Root Causes of violent conflict, instability and irregular migration in South Sudan. Presentation to ACORD learning forum, Nairobi, Kenya, October 2016
This document discusses coordinating disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts in agriculture and food security across countries in the Zambezi River Basin. It outlines several discussion topics for country-level institutional coordination structures and mechanisms, including key DRR government entities, stakeholders in agriculture and food security, and links between DRR initiatives and conservation agriculture programs. The document also describes the objectives, pillars, outputs, and implementation arrangements of a project to strengthen resilience to food insecurity and agricultural losses from floods and droughts. The project will train farmers on improved practices, provide inputs, and strengthen coordination between national food security and DRR partners through knowledge sharing and monitoring.
Preetam Maloor provided an overview of the Connect 2020 agenda, an ITU initiative that identifies ICTs as a key enabler for development and includes child online protection as an agenda priority. Maloor reviewed the ITU’s history of developing indicators to measure communications use globally. ITU provides global guidelines for cross-national comparative measures of ICTs in its Manual for measuring ICT access and use by households and individuals (2014).
Maloor described a shifting focus away from isolated projects and toward results-based approaches in response to the renegotiation of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This shift involved building a multistakeholder network and identifying tangible goals with dates for achievement. To develop their Child Online Protection initiative, the ITU developed guidelines for its stakeholder categories, and has identified five pillars for policy and intervention action: legal measures, technical and procedural measures, organisational structures, capacity building, and international cooperation.
Developing Climate-Smart village models through integrated participatory acti...ICRISAT
Climate-smart villages are evolving in five West African countries from Senegal to Niger thanks to integrated participatory action research aimed at protecting food security. Climate change creates new challenges for food security in the region. To overcome these threats, the CGIAR research program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) developed among other tools and approaches, the Climate Smart Village (CSV) as a model for local action research to achieve food security, enhance livelihood, and improve environmental management, i.e., Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA).
The document discusses several topics:
1) Updates on a science-policy-practitioner network including two board meetings and a project website update.
2) A proposal to the Defra Future Proofing Plant Health program to develop a collaborative accreditation framework over three years, with the first year focused on developing the framework.
3) A second proposal to develop a standardized nursery testing protocol using DNA metabarcoding to be incorporated into the accreditation scheme over three years.
Donors pledged over $22 billion over 3 years at the 2009 L'Aquila G7 Summit to address global food security through the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative (AFSI). The donors committed to align investments with country-led plans, pursue comprehensive approaches, strengthen strategic coordination, leverage multilateral institutions, and make sustained commitments. By 2012, donors had committed 99% and disbursed 58% of the $22 billion pledge. Sub-initiatives of AFSI are investigating ways to increase transparency and monitor commitments on agricultural research funding and the impact of funds spent in select countries on reducing poverty and stunting.

The Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals Agri-food Systems CGIAR Research Program will increase the productivity, profitability, resilience and marketability of critical and nutritious grain legume (chickpea, cowpea, pigeonpea, groundnut, lentil, soybean) and cereal (sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet) crops grown within the semi-arid and sub-humid dryland agroecologies of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. These agroecologies are where poverty, malnutrition, climate change and soil degradation are among the most acute globally.
The document summarizes the progress and achievements of the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) in its first full year of work in 2013. Key points include:
- PIM restructured its work into 7 flagship projects and 1 cross-cutting flagship addressing gender, partnerships, and capacity building.
- Research activities produced publications and discussion papers while some results were applied. Relationships with partners were strengthened.
- Achievements under each flagship project are described, including new modeling work, data collection on agricultural investments, and learning platforms on technology adoption.
- The document reflects on lessons learned during PIM's initial implementation and discusses how indicators can be used

It summarizes previous studies conducted in the US, Argentina, and Brazil to test a remote sensing crop growth and simulation model (RS-CGSM) for predicting corn and soybean yields. For Mozambique, additional data is needed on crop cultivars, management practices, planting and harvest seasons. It also describes using earth observation data and machine learning models to forecast crop yields and conditions across many countries as part of the GEOGLAM program, though this is currently only implemented in South Africa for Africa. Finally, it mentions a production efficiency model for estimating yield from satellite estimates of gross primary production.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

This document provides an overview of the Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook virtual book launch. It summarizes the purpose and features of the PEPA Sourcebook, which is a guide for generating evidence to inform national food, land, and water policies and strategies. The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.
