The NAP-Ag webinar on The Role of Climate Information Services in Adaptation Planning for Agriculture provided insights into the role of Climate Information Services (CIS) in planning for adaptation in agricultural sectors.
http://www.fao.org/in-action/naps/resources/webinars/en/
The NAP-Ag webinar on Climate Information Services in Adaptation Planning for Agriculture will provide insights into the role of Climate Information Services (CIS) in planning for adaptation in agricultural sectors. Country case studies and extended exploration of best practices will create a strong learning environment for country-to-country exchange on institutional arrangements, and gaps in Climate Information Services for the implementation and formulation of National Adaptation Plans. This webinar is a follow up to the March 2017 peer-to-peer exchange on “Effective Climate Information Services for Agriculture in ASEAN.”
The CCAFS Mitigation Options Tool allows experts in agriculture and climate change to quickly rank mitigation options from multiple crop and livestock management practices in different geographic regions. Because the tool has utilized findings from well-known and peer-reviewed empirical models, the input requirements are relatively simple.
Employing the CCAFS-MOT at this workshop will allow technicians and policy-makers to more easily identify suitable agricultural practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sequester carbon and contribute to climate change adaptation in different regions and agricultural production systems in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research have joined the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) to convene this meeting so the CCAFS-MOT can serve experts in Ethiopia in their efforts to further policies and implementation in support of its NDC.

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed

FoodAfrica seminar poster: Climate change and agriculture in Senegal

Key results
The Senegalese agricutural economy faces critical
challenges related to near-term climatic variability as well
as longer-term climatic shocks. Both crop and livestock
sectors are impacted, and each is required to undertake
particular for adaptive measures & investments
The impacts are varied and reflect the diverse landscape
of Senegal’s agriculture
The majority of the crop sector is rainfed – making it highly
exposed to climatic variability. Irrigation potential is limited
(and is likely to be expanded for higher-value crops)
Therefore – soil moisture management is key for coping
The irrigated sectors (Niayes coastal region) – are
buffered from rainfall variability by ground & surface water
But aquifer management is critical for maintaining this
important buffer stock and needs institutions that
coordinate with non-ag sector
Extensive livestock systems are highly exposed to
variation in biomass availability and will remain mobile by
necessity. Feed markets could help greatly

End-users and impact
Policy makers, analysts and implementers are envisioned
as being the main beneficiaries of the outputs
The key audience for this work are the following actors:
-Policy makers wishing to target priority sectors and
regions in need of adaptive investments & actions
-Analysts who can benefit from our tools of analysis and
receive direct training on them for direct application
- development implementers who seek guidance on
priority areas of action where intervention is effective
-Scientists and students interested in climate policy
analysis
A training module for economic policy analysis of
agriculture and resource management has been piloted
and will be extended futher in phase II of FoodAfrica
Figure 1. Key sub-regions of Senegal in the study that
cover various crop systems and rainfall regimes.
Significance of the Research results
Our results have implications for investment & coordinating
policy across sectors & sub-regions of Senegal
The challenges of infrastructure cut across all sectors
-Infrastructure for irrigation (where possible/practicable)
-Infrastructure for marketing (roads, cold storage, etc)
Analysis by IFPRI AfDB, World Bank and other partners
has shown that investments like these in the past have
experience higher rates of failure and greater unit costs –
when compared with regions like South Asia
Both government and private sector have a role – as
government provides basic infrastructure while the private
sector can incentivize higher value activities to exploit it
Senegal is formulating its national adaptation plan for
agriculture and other sectors – can draw from this work in
order to identify and prioritize some of the key sectors in
need of support.
