The slides look at UNDPs work on resilience and climate change adaptation: training and technology, strengthening policies, institutions, capacities and knowledge and supporting the NAP process. The presentation was made by Srilata Kammila, Regional Technical Specialist with UNDP on Day 1 of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Workshop from the 5-7 April 2016, Rome, Italy

Agriculture
• Highly vulnerable to climate
impacts
• 30-60% of GDP and
• 60-80% of labor force in
developing countries
• Adaptation crucial for food
security and livelihoods

15. Climate-Resilient Agriculture
Agricultural Technology & Training
Solar Water Pumps
Drip Irrigation
• Technology demonstrations – irrigation systems, solar water
pumps
• Climate-smart agriculture practices – water efficiency, soil
management, climate-resilient inputs, drought management
• Capacity building – commercialization support, extension
services, risk management tools
Seed Purification
Efficient
Water Use

16. • Climate change modeling & scenarios, risk assessment, analytical
tools, CBA, meteorological services & EWS
• Weather and climate information for agricultural planning
• Dissemination – community radio stations, mobile phones
• Farmer training including collection of climate data
Information & Data for Response and Planning
Climate Information

17. Market Access and Linkages
Market Development
• Value-chain analyses/market mapping - linkages
• Value-addition – post-harvest processing,
packaging, marketing, certification & standards,
access to markets
• Enterprise development – MSEs/Agri-businesses
• Connecting farmers to retailers/export markets

18. • Support for industry
associations/cooperatives
• Co-venturing – shared value creation
• Connect farmers with upstream value-
chain actors; Supply chain resilience
• Public private partnerships
Stakeholder Mobilization
Partnerships

19. Policy De-Risking :
• Climate information & risk management
• Integrated planning, regulatory and
fiscal incentives, subsidy reforms
Financial De-Risking :
• Risk transfer (insurance, guarantees),
risk compensation (grants, seed capital,
concessional loans)
Enabling Environment
‘De-Risking’ – Policy and Financial Instruments

20. Vegetable Gardening
Bangladesh (LDCF)
Increases household food supply
and income
Drought Management
Mali (LDCF, Canada)
Weather forecasts and climate projections help
farmers adjust farm practices to changing climate—
i.e. adjust planting times and crop types
Resilient Seed
Laos (LDCF)
Drought and flood resilient seed
varieties increase crop yields—farmer’s
rice profits increased 78% in Laos
Examples: Agricultural Technology and Training

21. Market Development
Tajikistan (SPA)
Packaging, certification and labeling standards
increase market appeal—from local
supermarkets to export to international markets
(mulberry)
Value Added
Mali (LDCF, Canada)
Farmers trained in processing to increase
monetary returns from agricultural products
Partnerships
Zimbabwe (SCCF)
Connect farmers with
retailers—resilient value-chain
i.e. brewery connect with
farmers for red sorghum
Examples: Partnerships and Market Development

22. Risk Transfer / Insurance
Sudan, Philippines (LDCF, SCCF)
Weather Index Based Insurance covers rice and corn
farmers against low and excess rainfall
Financing / Micro-
Credit
Djibouti (LDCF)
Access to affordable credit facilitates
investment in adaptation strategies—
i.e. livestock, irrigation
Examples: Policy and Financial Instruments
Policy / Planning
Cambodia (LDCF)
Mainstreaming at sub-national levels:
Supporting CCA mainstreaming into
Community Development Plan and
Commune Investment Plan

23. Strengthen Policies, Institutions, Capacities and Knowledge

24. Supporting the NAP Process: Foundation for integrating climate into
medium- and long-term planning
Global
Initiatives
GEF Funded National Adaptation Plan Global Support Programme
(NAP-GSP) for LDCs and non-LDCs
BMUB funded Integrating Agriculture in NAPs Programme
Japan Funded Caribbean Partnership on NAPs

25. SCALING UP – Towards Transformative Change

26. Barriers to Scale
Opportunity Cost
MFIs Absent
Financial Illiteracy
Cost of Capital
Extension Support
Supply Chain
Constraints
High Upfront Costs of Technology
Systemic barriers for market entry and business
scale-up related to the lack of enabling environment,
capacity constraints, and limited access to finance

28. Pathways to Scale
Examples of Combinations of Replication and Multiplier Effects Leading to Enhanced
Private Sector Investment in Adaptation
Early support
reduces incremental
costs of replication
Demonstrated
success eases entry
barriers for others
Replication and
expansion leads to
“economies of scale”
Scaling expands
markets and leads
to new adopters
SCALE THROUGH REPLICATION AND MULTIPLIER EFECTS
ENHANCED
INVESTMENT IN
ADAPTATION
Innovation creates
opportunities for
new business and
livelihoods
Spill-over effects
spur extended value-
chains and market
development
Adopters increase
resilience and
stabilize income
Enhanced capital for
income diversification
and livelihood
development
