The project has been structured into three main components: (i) information tools for decision making and local institutional capacity development; (ii) pilots on adaptation measures integrated into SLMW practices; and (iii) a platform for scaling up climate change adaptation measures suitable for drought-prone areas. The project outcomes include: (i) equipping farmers and community-based organisations to make informed decisions on land and water management based on scientific and local knowledge, taking into account the impact of climate change and climate variability. Ensuring farmers acquire skills in managing climate variability and testing adaptation technologies in farming systems through participation in Climate Field Schools (CFS); (ii) ensuring that farmers have acquired skills to manage climate risks through participation in climate change schools; (iii) piloting adaptation technologies and identifying best practices; and (iv) documenting and disseminating the project outcomes.
